“It gave him the chance t lk at himself frm the utside.”
Students als wrk in grups, acting as the aggressr, the victim and an bserver t help them develp mre awareness and understanding.

C. A new attempt making students change their bad behavir.

答案解析：答案为C。本题为主旨大意题。本文第一段介绍了改变行为表现差的学生的方式，后文围绕此方式展开，最后一段 “It’s abut using the arts t develp scial skills as well as anger management, rather than just trying t make them gd at drama r arts.”也对这一方式进行了进一步的解释说明，它是用来培养学生的社会技能和控制愤怒的能力，而不是仅仅让他们擅长戏剧或者艺术。故答案为C。

A. crrect B. watch C. imprve D. imitate
答案解析：答案为D。本题为词义推断题。结合下文的第二、三段，被开除的学生在Windsr arts centre学习，并同时和艺术家一起工作，戏剧老师让某一学生表演他曾经和橄榄球场上的老师之间发生的激烈争执，再由第三段的最后一句话 “Then he shwed her hw t imitate(模仿) his attitude.”可以推断，mimic就是imitate。故答案为D。

答案解析：答案为B。本题为推断题。如何改变那些在学校表现极差的学生？从第四、五段 “… he didn’t really understand because he didn’t have that self-awareness. It gave him the chance t lk at himself frm the utside.” 可知，学生被老师开除是因为他们没有好坏意识，不明白为什么被开除，这种模仿坏行为的方式可以让学生从外界的目光来看待自己。故答案为B，Windsr bys’ secndary schl的工作目标是培养学生的错误意识。
56. All f the fllwing peple wrk at the arts centre EXCEPT ____.
A. an arts therapist B. actrs
