Recently in the Scottish Highlands, 260 theatergoers were led up a well-lit, pin-tree-line
d concrete path. Their destination? A vacant water plant. The large concrete space had the impersonal feel of an army camp—exactly the atmosphere the producers of Black Watch hoped to reproduce. The play is based on the true story of a Highlands troop sent overseas in 2004.

Essentially, site-specific theater refers to plays produced in places directly relevant to their action. At the Museum Hotel in Wellington, New Zealand, audiences filed into room 217 to watch a tale about the various personalities who had occupied the room over time. " I think people are tired of the same old plays in the same confines of space, " says Paul McLaughlin, who produced Hotel. "Drama happens all around us—at the bus stop, in a supermarket—so we attempted to show how people can interact with the space that surrounds them. "

To be sure, on-scene productions present their own set of challenges. Producers of Black Watch had to scout around London for a location for when the show comes to the British capital. But for many audience members, leaving the comfort of their theater seats makes for a more meaningful experience. "A lot of site-specific work challenges the way you look and think, "says Nick Kaye, a drama professor at the University of Exeter.

Site-specific shows can also satisfy the growing desire for individualized entertainment fueled by on-demand television and the Internet. In Faust, which the London-based theater group Punch-drunk just wrapped up, audience members got to pick what they wanted to see. Housed in an old five-story storehouse in east London, the play featured different settings. Audience members could choose to watch a scene and follow certain actors from location to location. Felix Barrett, the director of Faust, says today's theatergoers expect more than just the traditional audience-actor relationship. "What I wanted to do was to create a piece where the audience can carve out the night they want to have, and it stays with them. " Creating a strong sense of place goes a long way toward a-chieving that.

Recently, 260 Scottish people went to a deserted water plant_______.

A.to tour a newly-built military base

B.to watch a play about military life

C.to visit a military troop back home

D.to attend a military training program

请阅读短文,完成第题。

Back in the old days, when I was a child, we sat around the family round table at dinnertime and exchanged our daily experiences. It wasn"t very organized, but everyone was recognized and all the news that had to be told was told by each family member.

We listened to each other and the interest was not put-on; it was real. Our family was a unit and we supported each other, and nurtured each other, and liked each other, and——we were even willing to admit——we loved each other.

Today, the family round table has moved to the local fast-food restaurant and talk is not easy, much less encouraged.

Grandma, who used to live upstairs, is now the voice on long distance, and the working parents far too beaten down each day to spend evening relaxation time listening to the sandbox experience of an eager four-year-old.

So family conversation is as extinct as my old toys and parental questions such as "What have you been doing, Bobby?" have been replaced by "I"m busy, go watch television. "And watch TV they do; count them by the millions.

But it"s usually not children"s television that children watch. Saturday morning, the children"s hour, amounts to only about 8 percent of their weekly viewing.

Where are they to be found? Watching adult television, of course, from the Match Game in the morning, to the afternoon at General Hospital, from the muggings and battles on the evening news right through the family hour and past into Star sky and Hutch. That"s where you find our kids, over five million of them, at 10 p.m., not fewer than a million until after midnight! All of this is done with parental permission.

Television, used well, can provide enriching experiences for our young people, but we must use it with some sense. When the carpet is clean, we turn off the vacuum cleaner. When the dishes are clean, the dishwasher turns itself off.

Not so the television, which is on from the sun in the morning to the moon at night and beyond!

Parents must exercise some control and show some concern about the cultural influence on the child when a program not intended for that child is viewed. Parents need to intervene. Nonintervention may be a wise policy in international affairs, but the results of parental nonintervention will not be wise at all.

From the first two paragraphs one may infer that the writer‘s attitude towards "the old days" is__________. 查看材料

A.preferring

B.hating

C.being tired of

D.disappointing

听力原文:M: So, Lily, have you got any plan for this Sunday?

W: Uh, I'm kind of busy. Why do you ask'?

M: Oh, I was wondering if you'd like to get together and do something, like watch a movie or take a ride to the countryside.

W: I'd love to, but I'm really going to be busy all day on Sunday.

W: Hardly. Then I have to pick up my brother from soccer practice at 4:30, and my mom asked me to cook dinner for, the family at 5:30. I feel like a slave sometimes. Then I have to clean the dishes and finish reading my history assignment. Who knows how long that'll take.

M: Wow, sounds like you're going to have a full day. Hey, listen, why don't I come over later in the evening, and we can make some popcorn and watch a movie.

W: Oh, that'd be great, but our video machine is broken.

W: Sounds good, but give me a call before you come. My mom might try to come up with something else for me to do.
