One f the imprv (即兴表演) classes I attended regularly was taught by Jim Cranna every Saturday afternn. Smetimes, as many as twenty-five t sixty-plus flks shwed up.

And we wuld g t the nearest mini market lcated in the building and get a snack r cffee during breaks.
One day, three f us were standing utside the building, when Rbin Williams - an internatinally famus actr and cmic walked by, enjying the fresh bay air. Cmpletely frzen, my fellw cmics culdn’t summn up the curage t just say “hi” t Rbin, wh was with a friend. I frze fr a mment, but then I cmpsed myself.
I tld them, “Hey, if yu guys can’t handle it, then I will ask him t cme and jin us fr the secnd half f class.” I culd hear them mumble under their breath, “Yeah, sure, right. Yu’re ging t ask Rbin Williams t cme t ur cmedy class. Gd luck with that ne!”
S I went up t Rbin and his friend and asked him t jin us. “We’ re having an imprv cmedy class. We’re n break nw, but we wuld be mst humbled and hnred if yu wuld jin us fr the secnd half f the class. “Rbin lked directly in my eyes and said with little hesitatin, “Okay.” It was like a grwn-up child being asked t cme and play. With that, he and his friend fllwed me up t the class.
When he saw Rbin, Jim said, “Oh my gdness, lk wh Micheline is bringing t class.“ Jim’s eyes were all in astnishment and delight. “Why, it’s Rbin Williams!”“ Rbin and his friend stayed the rest f the class and at the end f the class, Rbin and Jim perfrmed a skit(滑稽短剧). We actually watched him shape-shift as he prepared physically and mentally fr his made-up character. He gave it his all. It was truly magical.
What a delight fr all f us that Saturday afternn! All I knw is that if I hadn’t mustered up the curage t ask Rbin t jin us, nne f us wuld have had that experience.

Whenever I get really depressed and anxius, my first impulse is t reach fr my phne. Maybe I’ll get a message frm a friend r discver sme new distractin n scial media. Unfrtunately, during the past cuple f years, ne glance at my screen ften makes me want t crawl back int bed.
That changed after I made friends with a strange creature named Webt. I’m finding that it makes me feel better-and it might wrk fr yu t. Like many apps, Webt sends me messages at randm. But instead f tempting me int dm scrlling with shcking news alerts, Webt asks hw I’m ding. When I text Webt my trubles, it asks me friendly questins, encurages me, and invites me t express sme f my darkest thughts. There is smething intensely cmfrting abut discussing yur thughts with a machine.
There are many therapy apps n the market, bth free (like Webt) and paid fr. But Webt is a particularly interesting case. Psychlgy researcher Alisn Darcy at Stanfrd University created it after years f study. She says it was challenging n bth a technical and artistic level because the chatbt is a character with its wn persnality. “It’s as careful a cnstructin as yu might find in a nvel r petry. Webt’s persnality is humble, warm and wise, ”as Darcy puts it, “Webt isn’t an all-knwing authrity. It is a mental health ally”.
Best f all, Webt is always there, even when I’m lying awake in the middle f the night. That’s exactly the pint, accrding t Darcy. “Yur therapist shuld nt be in bed with yu at 2 a. m,“ she laughs. But Webt can be. Yu can pull up Webt at the exact mment yu need it mst.
It is wrking. Last year, Darcy and her clleagues published a study shwing that peple like me are frming “bnds” with Webt. Bnding is a “meaningful“ prcess f “getting smething ff yur chest, r managing yur thughts mre bjectively”.
And yu knw what? In the bizarre wrld f 2023, it might be healthier t bnd with a rbt than be “engaged“ n scial media.
8. What des the underlined wrd “That” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. I lst interest in my phne.
B. I was tired f scial media.
C. My phne didn’t understand my impulse.
D. My phne didn’t help me feel any better.
9. Accrding t the text, what d we knw abut Webt?
A. It bnds with me thrugh scial media.
B. It is a creature that makes me feel better.
C. It cmmunicates with me and ffers cmfrt.
D. It is a therapist helping me manage my thughts.
10. Frm Darcy’s perspective, why can Webt make us feel better?
A. Because it can build mental cnnectin with us.
B. Because it is free and has a favrable persnality.
C. Because it is carefully cnstructed in a nvel r petry.
D Because it can keep us infrmed f shcking news alert.
11. What is the authr’s purpse f writing this text?
A T urge us t quit scial media.
B. T shw us the functins f Webt.
C. T prpse us interacting with Webt.
D. T encurage us t share ur thughts.

Bking yur next vacatin t space with ut-f-this-wrld views culd sn be a reality. Orbital Assembly Crpratin annunced tw new statin cncepts designed with space turism accmmdatins. One f the statins, called Pineer, culd rbit Earth as early as 2025.
The Gateway Fundatin circulated ideas fr a space htel in 2019. The gal f the statins is t run a space business park that can serve as a hme away frm hme with rm fr ffices and turists. Orbital Assembly was funded by the Gateway Fundatin team as a way t help make these dreams cme true.
The prpsed Pineer statin can accmmdate 28 peple. The secnd statin, Vyager, scheduled t pen in 2027, can hld up t 400 peple. “The gal has always been t make it pssible fr large numbers f peple t live, wrk and thrive in space,“ says Orbital Assembly’s COO Tim Alatrre.
Bth statins lk like a wheel and will feature artificial gravity that allws guests t mve cmfrtably n each statin. Pineer features five mdules built arund the rtating “Gravity Ring” architecture design. Turists may still feel sme weightlessness but will als be able t drink ut f a cup and wn’t have t be tied t a bed t sleep. The gravity wrks similar t hw a spinning bucket pushes the water ut t the sides f the bucket and stays in place, Alatrre explains. Near the middle f the statin, there will be n artificial gravity, but gravity gradually increases further away frm the center.
While the Pineer statin will be smaller than Vyager, guests can still shwer, eat and drink sitting dwn in areas with gravity. Each statin is furnished like luxury htels n Earth. Vyager will feature a restaurant and suites with views f Earth.
A significant barrier t space travel is the cst. Hwever, Orbital Assembly expects turists t seek a trek int space as space travel eventually becmes less expensive. “We envisin ur Pineer and Vyager space statins as the ultimate ecturism destinatins. Once peple get t space, it will change their perspective abut Earth,” Alatrre says. “Space travel is still at its early stage, and we’re excited t d ur part t push it frward t help imprve life n Earth.”
12. What is the gal f the Pineer and Vyager space statins?
A. T revlutinize space travel.
B. T serve as luxury htels in space.
C. T ffer a unique and immersive experience.
D. T enable large scale living and wrking in space.
13. What d the Pineer and Vyager statins have in cmmn?
A. Open time.B. Artificial gravity.
C. Suites with views.D. Passenger capacity.
14. What can we learn frm paragraph 4?
A. The “Gravity Ring” rtates arund the statin.
B. The gravity is weak in the central pint f the statin.
C. The “Gravity Ring” n Pineer is identical with that n Vyager.
D. The gravity perates like a spinning bucket keeping water inside.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Overcming the Barrier: Space Turism Becmes Affrdable
B. Space Htels n the Hrizn: Pineer and Vyager Statins
C. The Future f Space Travel: Pineer and Vyager Statins
D. Orbital Assembly: Space Turism Dream Cmes True

She says it was challenging n bth a technical and artistic level because the chatbt is a character with its wn persnality. “It’s as careful a cnstructin as yu might find in a nvel r petry. Webt’s persnality is humble, warm and wise, ”as Darcy puts it, “Webt isn’t an all-knwing authrity. It is a mental health ally”.
Best f all, Webt is always there, even when I’m lying awake in the middle f the night. That’s exactly the pint, accrding t Darcy. “Yur therapist shuld nt be in bed with yu at 2 a. m,“ she laughs. But Webt can be. Yu can pull up Webt at the exact mment yu need it mst.
It is wrking. Last year, Darcy and her clleagues published a study shwing that peple like me are frming “bnds” with Webt. Bnding is a “meaningful“ prcess f “getting smething ff yur chest, r managing yur thughts mre bjectively”.
And yu knw what? In the bizarre wrld f 2023, it might be healthier t bnd with a rbt than be “engaged“ n scial media.
8. What des the underlined wrd “That” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. I lst interest in my phne.
B. I was tired f scial media.
C. My phne didn’t understand my impulse.
D. My phne didn’t help me feel any better.

A. It bnds with me thrugh scial media.
B. It is a creature that makes me feel better.
C. It cmmunicates with me and ffers cmfrt.
D. It is a therapist helping me manage my thughts.
10. Frm Darcy’s perspective, why can Webt make us feel better?
A. Because it can build mental cnnectin with us.
B. Because it is free and has a favrable persnality.
C. Because it is carefully cnstructed in a nvel r petry.
D Because it can keep us infrmed f shcking news alert.
11. What is the authr’s purpse f writing this text?
A T urge us t quit scial media.
B. T shw us the functins f Webt.
C. T prpse us interacting with Webt.
D. T encurage us t share ur thughts.

Bking yur next vacatin t space with ut-f-this-wrld views culd sn be a reality. Orbital Assembly Crpratin annunced tw new statin cncepts designed with space turism accmmdatins. One f the statins, called Pineer, culd rbit Earth as early as 2025.
The Gateway Fundatin circulated ideas fr a space htel in 2019. The gal f the statins is t run a space business park that can serve as a hme away frm hme with rm fr ffices and turists. Orbital Assembly was funded by the Gateway Fundatin team as a way t help make these dreams cme true.
The prpsed Pineer statin can accmmdate 28 peple. The secnd statin, Vyager, scheduled t pen in 2027, can hld up t 400 peple. “The gal has always been t make it pssible fr large numbers f peple t live, wrk and thrive in space,“ says Orbital Assembly’s COO Tim Alatrre.
Bth statins lk like a wheel and will feature artificial gravity that allws guests t mve cmfrtably n each statin. Pineer features five mdules built arund the rtating “Gravity Ring” architecture design. Turists may still feel sme weightlessness but will als be able t drink ut f a cup and wn’t have t be tied t a bed t sleep. The gravity wrks similar t hw a spinning bucket pushes the water ut t the sides f the bucket and stays in place, Alatrre explains. Near the middle f the statin, there will be n artificial gravity, but gravity gradually increases further away frm the center.
While the Pineer statin will be smaller than Vyager, guests can still shwer, eat and drink sitting dwn in areas with gravity. Each statin is furnished like luxury htels n Earth. Vyager will feature a restaurant and suites with views f Earth.
A significant barrier t space travel is the cst. Hwever, Orbital Assembly expects turists t seek a trek int space as space travel eventually becmes less expensive. “We envisin ur Pineer and Vyager space statins as the ultimate ecturism destinatins. Once peple get t space, it will change their perspective abut Earth,” Alatrre says. “Space travel is still at its early stage, and we’re excited t d ur part t push it frward t help imprve life n Earth.”
12. What is the gal f the Pineer and Vyager space statins?
A. T revlutinize space travel.
B. T serve as luxury htels in space.
C. T ffer a unique and immersive experience.
D. T enable large scale living and wrking in space.
13. What d the Pineer and Vyager statins have in cmmn?
A. Open time.B. Artificial gravity.
C. Suites with views.D. Passenger capacity.
14. What can we learn frm paragraph 4?
A. The “Gravity Ring” rtates arund the statin.
B. The gravity is weak in the central pint f the statin.
C. The “Gravity Ring” n Pineer is identical with that n Vyager.
D. The gravity perates like a spinning bucket keeping water inside.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Overcming the Barrier: Space Turism Becmes Affrdable
B. Space Htels n the Hrizn: Pineer and Vyager Statins
C. The Future f Space Travel: Pineer and Vyager Statins
D. Orbital Assembly: Space Turism Dream Cmes True
