Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 21 to 24. Open-air Theatre
In Britain, the ancient tradition of open-air performances is still alive and well. Cornwall has
some of Britain's oldest working theatres, with one open-air theatre actually built into a cliff, a
project only recently completed.
Two actors, Dave James and Muriel Thomas, came from London theatres to join a theatre
company called Coastline. They now regularly perform in just such a theatre, by the sea. 'One thing
about performing outside is we never know what'll happen. For example, if a bird lands on stage, we
can't act as if it's not there-the audience are all watching it. So we just bring the bird into the play,
too. Once, about 30 dolphins came past, jumping out of the water and showing off. The audience Trang 2
were all chatting about them instead of watching the play, so the actors just gave up for a while and watched the dolphins, too.
The weather can also be difficult. 'Sometimes it's been so bad,' says Muriel, 'that we've asked the
audience if they really want to stay. But usually they sit with their coats and umbrellas and say,
"Yes, please carry on!" They must feel it isn't fun, but no one's returned their ticket so far'
Coastline's director, John Barnack, works hard to introduce people to theatre. Many people think
of theatres as clubs where they don't belong and are not welcome,' he explains. 'Sitting in the open
air changes that feeling. The audience are far more involved - they aren't sitting in the dark, at a
distance like in normal theatres, and that improves the actors' performances, too. I'm very proud of the work they've done so far.
Question 21. The word "they" in paragraph 4 refers to A. feeling B. audience C. clubs D. director
Question 22. What is the audience's attitude to bad weather during performances?
A. They accept it as they have come well-prepared.
B. They feel they should have their money back.
C. They say that it stops them enjoying the play.
D. They worry about the actors getting wet.
Question 23. What is the writer's main goal in the text?
A. warn readers about the disadvantages of attending open-air performances
B. follow the development of open-air theatre in Britain
C. explain what it's like to work in an open-air theatre
D. describe how one open-air theatre was built
Question 24. What does John Barnack imply when saying about outdoor theatre?
A. He's happy that the audience feel comfortable being there.
B. He welcomes the distance it creates between actors and audience.
C. He's worried that it creates an atmosphere similar to a club.
D. He's afraid the atmosphere is more stressful for actors.
