When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying: “We have to go to work now,” you're left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools and that the “work” they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.

Stage schools often act as agencies（代理机构）to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name “stage school” are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education.

A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn't settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?

Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days.

The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don't ma ke it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.

1. People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children they're talking to ________.

　 A. attend a stage school　　　　     B. are going to the theatre

　 C. have got some work to do 　　  D. love singing and dancing

2. In the writer's opinion, a good stage school should ________.

　 A. prod uce star performers   

   B. help pupils improve their study skills

　 C. train pupils in language and performing arts

　 D. provide a general education and stage training.　　

3. “Professional work” as used in the text means ________.

　 A. ordinary school work　　　　  B. money-making performances

　 C. stage training at school 　 　       D. acting, singing or dancing after class

4. Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stage schools?

　 A. He thinks highly of what they have to offer.　　　　

　 B. He favors an early start in the training of performing arts.

　 C. He feels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows.

　 D. He doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached.

It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stag e. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement.

Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown(方帽长袍).

Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(对美国的忠孝宣誓).

Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.

To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. But it wasn't boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.

A new page in the book of that person's life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.

A. An American high school's graduation ceremony.

A. She was one of the graduates.                                    

B. She was a foreign exchange student.

C. She was excited to receive her diploma.         

D. She felt it great to be at the ceremony.

10. From the text, we can conclude that_______.

A. a diploma ensures a good job                

B. a diploma guarantees a bright future

C. the commencement symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in life

D. everyone felt excited at the presentation of the diploma

【参考范文】

Dear Mark,

I went on a trip to Beijing with my parents recently. It was great! We visited many places of interest, such as the Palace Museum, the Great Wall, the Bird's Nest, the Water Cube, and so on. They made me proud to be a Chinese.

 In particular, I want to tell you about the Palace Museum and the Great Wall. They were built in ancient times. The Palace Museum is also called the Forbidden City. There are many antiques in the palace which represent great Chinese culture. And the Great Wall is a famous wonder of the world, and is very old and long. It is made of millions of bricks. Each brick is very big and heavy. Lots of people from different countries like to climb the Great Wall.

I really enjoyed the trip to Beijing. If you want to know more about those great places of interest, you can go to Beijing and have a look.

                                                              Yours,

                                                              Li Hua
