The little girl has made it her mission (使命) to help the homeless in her community by giving them a place to sleep. While most other kids at her age are playing with toys, Hailey picks up power tools to build tiny shelters for people living on the streets.Four years ago, Hailey and her mother bought a homeless man a sandwich in her hometown. Then, she realized that she wanted to do more in terms of providing food for the homeless. So she came up with the idea of starting a garden, called “Hailey’s Harvest”, to grow and donate (捐赠) fresh produce. In 2014, Hailey managed to grow 128 pounds of produce and donated every bit of it to a local food bank. The project’s success inspired her to think beyond food. She wanted to give the homeless a roof to spend the night under, so she decided to build small mobile sleeping shelters equipped with basic facilities (设施).With her mother’s help, Hailey applied for a grant from Together Raising, and was awarded $3,000 to help her get started. The wooden homes that Hailey is building will feature (以…为特征) front doors, windows, solar panels(电池板) and so on. Believe it or not, she does most of the work herself, with a bit of guidance from her mother and her grandfather.

That’s because this music was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.To someone who’s not familiar with underground music culture, it’s easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn’t b other to tell them apart, until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this year’s Mobo—“music of black o rigin”—award nominations (提名) in the UK.Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.Lady Leshurr, known as the "Grime Queen said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didn’t want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And there’s no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music: be yourself.Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena (现象) like the European refugee (难民) problem and the gap between the rich and poor.Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.28. What do hip-hop and grime music have in common?A. They are originated in the UK.B. They make a lot of loud noise.C. They challenge traditional cultures.D. They are full of creative ideas.29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Electronic music.B. Hip-hop.C. Grime music.D. Black music.30. What can be learned about grime singers?A. They care too much about themselves.B. They refuse to be judged by others.C. They tend to take social responsibility.D. They show strong independence qualities.31. What does Skepta’s success suggest?A. Grime is gradually getting recognized.B. Singers should try to be themselves.C. Grime has become mainstream music.D. It is easy to win the Mercury Prize.DIn any theatrical performance the actors are just a small part of the people needed.Once the play has been decided by the director, the actors must be chosen. This is done by casting, a very skillful and important occupation. The actors will create a success or a failure out of a production. They have to be right for the part they will play, and also work well with the director.Production planning is the next important step.

Wigs (假发) and make-up are dealt with by another set of experts.It is the Stage Planning team who schedule rehearsals(排练) and decisions made here will affect how the production is organized.The Stage Department is responsible for making sure that everything at the theatre is in place and working properly. Before the play is performed, they will have a technical(技术的) run of the performance in which the Lighting and Sound team work to create the right effects.Few realize how many people are behind the scenes every time the curtain rises at the theatre!32.What is the text mainly about?A.
