A．Teenagers love to go to France for a holiday.B．The woman tries to enjoy her holiday
听力原文：M: Good morning. Can I help you？
W: Good Morning. We'd like to book a holiday for July, please.
M: Certainly. Where did you have in mind？
W: Oh, well, we haven't thought a lot about it, really. We'd just like to go somewhere hot, you know, and it must be in July.
M: I see. Well, let's get the dates cleared up first, then we can see about destinations. What part of July were you thinking of？
W: Oh, you see, my husband and I have slightly different holidays. I've got the whole month except for the last five days, so I could go from the first to the twenty-sixth, but my husband doesn't start until the seventh, so I suppose it will have to be the middle two weeks really.
M: Ok. Now, let's find a destination. Any preferences...France...Italy...？
W: Oh, not France, we went there last year and it was absolutely packed with teenagers making noise and getting drunk all the time. We definitely want somewhere quieter this year.
M: Well, of course it depends more on the resort rather than the country. There are resorts in every country which are good for the family or the slightly older person. They are usually a shade more expensive, though, as you might expect...
W: We don't mind paying a bit more if it means more peace and quiet, do we？
M: All right. How about Portugal？
W: Oh, that sounds great. We've never been there!

What is theatre？ Actors tell a story in words and act on a stage. Why has theatre been so intriguing to people all over the world and throughout history？ Theatre in the West began in Greece in 534 B.C. in the celebration of the cult of Dionysius. The relationship between religion and theatre is neither accidental nor incidental: they both include ceremony, ritual, and spectacle that create drama which engages our emotions and intellect because they tell stories that are universal.
In prehistoric times, ceremonies and rituals helped people explain such awe-inspiring, dramatic events as birth, death, and powerful natural forces. Man needs a way to cope with his deepest fears and concerns so he creates dramatic situations that express and mimic these feelings. The costumed participants in the ceremony(with a script),like the actors on stage, pretend they are driving out demons or pleasing their God, or resolving their fears and concerns. This is what Aristotle called catharsis(感情宣泄): the purgation(清除) of powerful emotions such as fear and pity that offers the release from tension that we experience as we empathize with the actors facing their conflicts(and our own) and work toward resolving them. Theatre and religion touch us not only emotionally and intellectually, but spiritually. Shakespeare was right when he said that all the world's a stage and we but actors playing our parts.
There are three basic periods in the history of theatre: Classical period—Greek and Roman theatre; the Romantic period which includes the Renaissance in Europe and the Modern period which began in the late 19th century. The Greeks laid the foundation of theatre in the West. They developed the five-act play which Shakespeare and most others followed. At first, there was only one actor who recited a story about the Gods. Then Aeschylus added a second actor who made dialogue possible that changed theatre forever, and later Sophocles added a third actor who brought new elements of conflict that are the essence drama, especially tragedy. The early Christian banned theatre, but offered elaborate ceremonies to attract people and to educate them in the Christian doctrine and its dramatic mythology. In the Renaissance, the arts were flourishing first in Italy and then in other parts of Europe. Shakespeare wrote in the 16th and early 17th centuries. Modem theatre began in the 19th century with the plays of Ibsen, Strindberg and Chekhov. They offered reality rather than fantasy or simplistic popular melodramas. The 20th century brought bold innovations in America and Europe, including new structures: two-and three-act plays or a series of scenes replaced the five-act structure; new stage designs and staging; new is- sues especially after WWII when Theatre of the Absurd appeared. Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway productions challenged the old ways by presenting experimental works that shocked and perplexed many audiences.
Theatre and religion are closely related in that ______.
