Tickets

Tickets cost £17 and £13 concessions (减价票).

Tickets are available to purchase on our website. We regret the necessary imposition (征

收) of a £1.50 booking fee per ticket, but the increase in our own administration costs has

made this unavoidable.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Concession tickets:

Please note, you will need to bring proof of eligibility ( 资格证明) to buy concession

tickets. Student concessions only apply to those with proof of being in full-time education.

Other categories for concession tickets include the old, unemployed and disabled.

Seating policy:

There are about 200 chairs at each venue available on a first come, first served basis.

There is also a picnic area immediately in front of the chairs for audience members to sit on

the lawn (草坪)－though this is ground-level only, you should not use your own chairs in this

area. Please note: purchase of a ticket guarantees admission but does not guarantee a seat.

A. Their venues. B. Their showtime.

C. Their ticket prices. D. Their seating policy.

2. When can you see Much Ado About Nothing?

A. On 24 July. B. On 26 July. C. On 28 July. D. On 30 July.

When my friend suggested going to the op shop (二手商店)，instantly I thought “I hope

no one I know sees me”. It was the same when my cousin commented on my new furniture

and Japanese, fine-bone-china bowls and asked where I got them. They were from the local

op shop but instead I said “from the antique shop”.

Many people in my Greek-Cypriot community would look down on me if I said I

shopped at the op shop. They may pity me, consider me poor, a failure. Immigrants sacrificed

their families and homes for a better life. Buying a house and having enough money to live

comfortably, to educate your children and see them also live comfortably, are a big part of the

immigrant dream, But has this dream made us materialistic at the cost of our own planet?

Our love for purchasing the latest trendy clothes or furniture, then donating them when

we are tired of them has become normal. I was once like this. But after watching the

documentary The True Cost I learned donated clothes that don’t get sold are sent to

developing nations, many of them ending up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). In addition, your new

dress requires electricity and materials to make. But if you buy a second-hand dress, that’s one

less dress in a landfill and one less new dress to be made.

A friend introduced me to op shopping only a few years ago. My first item was a dress

she gifted me. It was lovely and I loved it. Nobody could tell it was second-hand. This opened

me up to purchasing more second-hand high quality branded clothes. Once I visited a friend

and was impressed by how she decorated her apartment. “It’s all second-hand,” she said. I

couldn’t believe it. The truth is a lot of things sold at the op shop are in new or almost new

condition. That’s when I made the decision to only buy second-hand things.

Selling second-hand things isn’t anything new but what the planet needs is more buyers.

There is so much excess ( 过量) production in the world. So stop feeling ashamed, and let’s

get shopping.

4. What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1?

A. Pride. B. Embarrassment. C. Delight. D. Sympathy.

5. What are many people in the author’s community like?

A. They are probably materialistic.

B. They care about the environment.

C. They think highly of op shopping.

D. They look down upon immigrants.

6. What was the author encouraged to do after visiting her friend’s apartment?

A. Watch the documentary The True Cost.

B. Donate more to local charities.

C. Avoid shopping too much.

D. Stop buying new things.

7. What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To entertain. B. To advertise. C. To persuade. D. To describe.

When you walk with a backpack, do you know how the things inside move from side to

side? Now scientists have figured out how to tap into that movement to produce electricity.

Picture a pendulum ( 摆锤 ) fixed to a backpack frame and stabilized with springs on

either side. The pack’s weight is attached to the pendulum, so the pendulum swings side to

side as you walk. Then a machine is driven by that swinging movement, and spits out

electrical current to charge a battery.

Volunteers carried the pack while walking on a running machine and wore masks to

measure the flow of O2 and CO2. Walking with the slightly swinging 20-pound load, the

device ( 设备 ) did not significantly affect the volunteers’ metabolic ( 新陈代谢的 ) rate

compared to when they carried the same weight fixed in place. In fact, the energy-harvesting

pack reduced the forces of acceleration they’d feel in a regular pack, which might mean

greater comfort for a long hike. And the device did produce a steady trickle ( 涓流 ) of

electricity. If you up the load to 45 pounds, the swing of the pack could fully charge a smart

phone only after 12 hours. The details are in the journal Royal Society Open Science.

The device produces electricity from human movement and has been identified as a

workable solution to providing a renewable energy source for portable electronic devices. It is

particularly useful for those who work in remote areas, as these people often carry a lot of

weight in a backpack for their exploration.

But here’s a real conundrum: the energy-harvesting device currently weighs five pounds.

The researchers say that’s about four pounds too many to be a smart alternative to batteries.

So they hope that more research lets them lighten the load, to ensure the pack charges you up

without weighing you down.

8. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A. How the device works.

B. What the device looks like.

C. Who the device is designed for.

D. Why scientists designed the device.

9. Which of the following describes the device?

A. It greatly affected the volunteers metabolic rate.

B. It harvested energy as the volunteers walk.

C. It failed to produce steady electricity.

D. It was useless for a long walk.

10. What does the underlined word “conundrum” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Problem. B. Method. C. Bond. D. Decision.

11. What will the researchers try to do next?

A. Increase the charging speed of their device.

B. Find smarter alternatives to batteries.

C. Reduce the weight of their device.

D. Put their device on the market.
