Also make sure to visit the washroom with the little ones before the performance begins. Book tickets early if you wish to sit in a special area in the theatre because some shows sell out their tickets quickly. Sit in your own seat after you enter the theater.Dont: Talk during the performance or sing along with the show. You may think you have a great voice, but people paid to see and hear the performers on stage - not you. Dont: Bring your pet to the theater.

BDear Students,It is a great pleasure to visit your school and to meet all of you.I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen hunger, wars, earthquake (地震) and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as young as four years old. They lived in the streets, begging or stealing. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them and taught them. She gave them hope.Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake. In one place, I found an old lady whose house was gone. Her son was missing and people said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the old lady did not give up hope. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive. Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious illness. He had had twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.In life, we need role models that we can admire and learn from. When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these people.61. How many experiences does the speaker tell the students?A. Four B. Three C. Five D. Two62.

So how much does a miracle cost？” “We dont sell a miracle here, child. Im sorry.” The salesman said with a smile.“ Listen, if it isnt enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?”“I dont know,” she answered with eyes full of tears. “Hes really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy cant pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”“How much do you have?” asked the man. “$1.11, but I can try and get some more.” She answered.“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$1.11, the price of a miracle for little brother.”He took up the girls hand and said, “Take me to your home.
