The Summer Acting＆Musical Theater program, which starts on Friday, July 3 and ends on Thursday, July 23, is created for talented students who have been inspired by musical theater.
The program develops the abilities of experienced performers who are serious about the field and eager to work hard. Our goal is to help you grow creatively through full-time, college-level theater training under the direction of popular professional performers and teachers.

Classes aim to improve your command of body, mind and voice. Students will take a trip to see at least one professional production with program teachers.

Life is full of challenges. Some people seem to meet every challenge with confidence, while others struggle to overcome them. Here are some ways to better meet your personal challenges, whatever they may be.
Do not undervalue the power of being present. If you make a practice of facing your challenges - even in failure - with full presence and awareness, 1.. You can ask yourself questions that help you better understand the problem.
2.. Others can help you arrive at your own understanding, but no one ever solves your problems for you. Even in circumstances where someone else is acting as a partner, only you can decide for yourself how you will process the situation. The longer you spend searching for guidance outside of yourself, the longer you spend ignoring the problem. Assess the situation, your resources, and your abilities, and then act. 3..
It is important to know yourself. There is a reason why certain challenges seem hard for you while easy for others. 4.. It's all about consciousness. Those who face challenging tasks have found a way to avoid seeing those activities as challenges.
Challenges are opportunities to grow. That growth takes place out of potentiality, your potentiality, which is tremendous and highly active in every moment of life. Come to know yourself as that. Challenges can guide you to awareness.
Pay little attention to the outcome. 5.. Once you focus on what you're actually doing, instead of the result, the most upsetting part starts to disappear.
A.Look to yourself for the solution
B.Don't trouble yourself with questions
C.It's not because they are better than you
D.you may have a sense of being stuck anywhere
E.you will find most challenges are not challenges at all
F.The sooner you take up the challenge, the quicker it stops being a problem
G.Worrying about the potential outcome is often what turns a hill into a mountain
At this time of year, with the nights closing in spring can seem very far away. For hill farmers, the call of the Eurasian curlew(白腰杓鹬) will be a reminder that winter is nearly over for another year. However, there are some parts of the UK and Ireland where farmers are no longer hearing their call.
Around early March, the curlew moves inland to breed, remaining obviously faithful to the sites where they have bred before. Their preferred nesting sites are rough grassland and moorland , which provide a mix of both open areas to feed and low bushes in which to hide their nests.
So why should we be concerned? The curlew is in serious trouble. The number of breeding curlews across the UK has dropped by 48% since the mid-90s. There are less than 150 pairs remaining in Ireland, down from 3, 750—4, 000 pairs in the late '80s, which is a disastrous decline of 96%. In southern and eastern England, recent surveys have shown there are fewer than 300 pairs remaining. Consequently, the curlews in Ireland and southern and eastern England are thought to be at the risk of upcoming extinction, while declines in the UK are also of serious concern. This is a potential disaster, not only for the UK and Ireland, but also the world as we are home to up to 27% of the global breeding population。.
What is driving the decline? What seems to be the problem? Firstly, the curlew is long-lived and should be able to keep stable numbers if each pair raises one baby bird every couple of months. Unfortunately, in many areas their breeding success rate is much lower. The main cause of this lack of production is loss of suitable living places due to land use change, such as agricultural practices and forestry. Secondly, their enemies, including foxes and crows, have multiplied rapidly over the last few decades
The challenge of responding to the problem is huge particularly as the curlews widely spread all over the lands. We cannot lose the curlew so how can we make a difference?
1.What do the underlined words in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Spring hasn't come as expected.
B.Spring comes really later than usual.
C.Farmers are looking forward to the coming of spring.
D.Farmers mistake the call of the curlew for the arrival of spring.
2.How does the author support his idea in paragraph 3?
A.By describing a process. B.By making comparisons.
C.By listing numbers. D.By analyzing causes.
3.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A.The curlew is facing threats. B.The curlew can't give birth to baby birds.
C.The number of curlews is dropping quickly. D.The curlew has a low breeding success rate.
4.What will the author most probably discuss next?
A.done on the curlew.
B.Efforts made to save the curlew.
C.Reasons for the decline of the curlew's population.
D.Concern from people about the future of the curlew.
