   One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor（叛徒）. And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said—at least as it was presented by Shakespeare—to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have to endeavor,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”
During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.
The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar , sly provocation（狡诈的挑唆） of Brutus to take up arms against the what was a basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organism.
Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes, contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.
Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt related Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the  after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving as a business when and ho w do you resist the boss?

   Letters as a way of communication have long given way to phone calls and WeChai messages.

But a TV show，Letters Alive，is helping bring this old way to keep in touch back into the present.

Letters Alive took its idea from a UK program with a similar name，Letters Live，which was first shown in 2013.Both shows feature famous actors and actresses，but there is no gossip，no eye-catching visual effects or any regular showbiz（娱乐业）activities. Instead，it's just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.

But these are not just any letters. They are selected from a wide time span（时间跨度）and different subjects. There is，for example，a passionate letter that famous painter Huang Yongyu wrote to playwright Cao Yu 30 years ago to criticize his lack of creativity. There is also a heartfelt note from the Spring and Autumn Period written by two ordinary young soldiers to their elder brother to report their lives in the war z0ne，Every letter is like a small piece of history. By hearing them being read，it's as if we were sent back in time to experience a moment that we would otherwise never have had the chance to.

"Letters Live makes us pause and imagine the lives behind the letters，"UK actor Benedict Cumberbatch told The Guardian. "It allows people from all ages and all walks of life to experience a moment of time in someone else's life for a brief moment."

Compared to published texts，letters also come with a personal touch.

One example from Letters Live was a note of thanks from the mother of a dying child to J.K. Rowling，author of the Harry Potter books. It read；"Mrs Rowling，cancer threatened to take everything from my daughter，and your books turned out to be the castle we so desperately needed to hide in."

According to Guan Zhengwen，the director of Letters Alice，it is this kind of humanity behind every letter that strikes a chord（引起共鸡）with the audience. It is also what made the show a big hit in China ever since it first aired on Dec 31 on TV.

"It's a thing of the past that entertainment shows establish themselves only with pretty faces，"Guan told Sohu News. "Showbiz is starting to switch to a focus on wisdom and intelligence.”

   How do actors and actresses memorize hundreds of lines? Memorizing lines takes practice and constant repetition. However, there are a few ways to make the memorization process run smoothly and quickly.
【小题1】
For most performers, there is no quicker way of memorizing lines. To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again. Most rehearsals(排练) encourage this by running through the lines or having a"read-through". By the time the opening night arrives, most actors have spoken their lines hundreds of times.
Listen to your cast members
Sometimes inexperienced actors spend rehearsals looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line. 【小题2】. This will help the actors learn their lines better because the context of the dialogue is absorbing.

【小题3】

Because there is often not enough rehearsal time, many performers find ways to listen to the play's dialogue during everyday activities. They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene. Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own lines. 【小题4】. Others like recording the lines of fellow cast members, and they leave a blank space so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording.
Think positively and don't panic
Most actors will experience stage fright before the opening night. Actors forget lines now and then. When it happens, however, most of the time the audience never notice. If you forget a line in the middle of your performance, don't freeze. Stay in character. Keep the scene going to the best of your ability. If unfortunately you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again. 【小题5】.

A．Record your lines

B．Practice makes perfect

C．Read lines loud and repeat them

D．Remember the lines in a short time

E．Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization

F．Then, they not only listen carefully, but they also speak all of the lines

G．Instead, they should be listening carefully, responding in character at all times
