Among the teachers in my life，there is one person I called“Old Uncle”．I first met with him a decade ago when I was in primary school． During those rides，Old Uncle told me about his life．
He made a living by riding tricycles(三轮车)and raised the children on his own．His daughter gave up the chance to go to college so that the younger brother would have money to go after his future．Later on，she became a nurse at a hospital through her hard work．
For each ride，Old Uncle should charge me five yuan．However，he insisted on accepting only four from me．In our conversations，he told me to always have a good heart，to be a good student，child and person． More movingly，every time he took me to school，he asked whether I had eaten breakfast and would try to offer me biscuits．
Old Uncle was one of the early people who led me to explore pain and suffering， unintentionally and naturally，through stories and giving．He didn't complain(抱怨)about the hardships he had suffered in life． Ten years later as I thought back to the scene，I came to realize that Old Uncle and I shared space，and connected through our spirit．
A．I knew that Old Uncle lived a difficult life．
B．Old Uncle would pay the price for his behavior．
C．He took me to school in his tricycle every morning．
D．Old Uncle guided me to see the beauty of human nature．
E．Instead，he shared peacefully as if they weren't happening on him．
F．His wife had passed away when their two children were still young．
G．He said this with so much caring that I listened with my whole heart．

A. The origins of acting are in the act of remembering. B. Drama in Greece began with festivals honoring Dionysus. C. It is believed that this was the first step in the development of acting. D. Historical records show that this desire is as old as civilization itself. E. Acting is not, as many people think, a quick, easy road to fame and riches. F. Broadway and television provide other stages on which actors can display their talent. G. As a result, they had little opportunity to show their individual personalities. |
If you have ever been in a school play or ever made believe you were a doctor, detective, or a space traveler, you know the enjoyment that acting brings. Almost all of us have the wish to play the part of someone or something else. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
In the ancient world, acting was often associated with religious ceremonies and other special occasions. As far back as 2,200 B. C. trained Chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and makeup at harvest festivals. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} To the dance was gradually added pantomime (哑语)—the imitation of movements and gestures—as well as the wearing of masks, the singing of chants, and finally the use of dialogue.
While acting was coming into its own in the ancient Chinese classical theatre, it was doing the same in the western world, in Greece. From about 500 B. C. on, acting became a highly specialized art in Greece. Greek actors, however, still wore masks, and their motions were largely fixed by custom. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Modern acting, by contrast, gives the individual actor great opportunity to develop his or her personal talents for serious, comic, or musical drama. The names, faces styles of famous movie actors are known worldwide. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} A special form of acting takes place in radio drama, which was highly popular before television. In radio drama the actors face an unique challenge. They are unseen by their audience. So they must rely on voice alone to make their characters real to the listeners.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Only forty percent of Broadway actors are employed, most of them for only part of the year. Those who become stars need not only talent, but determination. They must not be easily discouraged. Otherwise, they might give up before the opportunity for stardom presents itself.
