   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

How to Say Short-Term Goodbyes

Knowing when and how to say goodbye is often difficult, even in informal situations. But learning to say goodbye appropriately is a skill that will help you maintain(维持)your relationships. 【小题1】 Read on to learn how to recognize chances when you leave.

Recognize when to leave. When you’re at any kind of party or gathering, or even in a one-on-one conversation, it can be difficult to get away. Learning to recognize good chances to leave will make a short-term goodbye much easier. Notice if the crowd seems to be decreasing. 【小题2】

【小题3】 Overstaying your welcome is rude, but it can often be difficult to distinguish. People don’t like telling you that they’d like you to leave, so try to watch for signals. If the host of a party starts cleaning up, or withdraws from the conversation, gather your friends or belongings and make your exit.

Make plans to see each other again. Even saying “See you at school tomorrow” keeps the goodbye light and focused forward. If you haven’t already made plans, use it as a chance to make them. 【小题4】 Set up a coffee date or meeting for lunch later in the week if it makes the goodbye easier, but don’t promise anything you don’t want to do.

Tell the truth. It can be tempting to come up with a “good excuse” when you’re ready to leave. You don’t need to. 【小题5】 It doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that.

A.Watch body language.
B.Make your exit directly.
C.It’s also easier than it seems sometimes.
D.Even saying “See you soon” suggests just that.
E.However, it is not a good idea to tell the truth immediately.
F.If more than half the people have left, it might be a good time to leave.
G.If you want to leave, just say, “I’m going to go now. See you later.”

   Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or, easily, one of the worst. It all depends on whether you have a good relationship with your roommate or not. Follow the advice to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships bad.

◇ 【小题1】

Communication is key. If something happens, sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation. I’ve seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and instead of talking to each other, the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs. 【小题2】

◇ Don’t expect to be best friends.

Some roommates become the best friends, and some don’t. Don’t put pressure on yourself or your roommate, especially when you first meet. 【小题3】 And if your roommate doesn’t end up being your best friend, don’t worry.

◇ Ask before you take.

This applies (适用) to food, clothes and anything else. If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. 【小题4】

◇ Clean up after yourself.

This should be done without saying. Don’t be lazy. Or, at least, don’t bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage. Most people I’ve come across in college are dirty and untidy. 【小题5】 But putting your stuff in order will help you avoid conflict.

A.Talk things out.
B.Always be honest.
C.Even if you both agree to share everything, you should still ask.
D.So you need to think twice before you help your roommates out.
E.This creates nothing but embarrassing situations and unhappiness.
F.Remember, you’re trying making a new friend, not to frighten your roommate.
G.You don’t need to have all the time spent cleaning your room and keeping it organized.

Why you shouldn't punish your kids for lying

Getting your children to stop lying is challenging. There are many influences(TV,movies and video games)in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others,if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus or the tooth fairy. 【小题1】

The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishments. 【小题2】 Here are three better tools supported by research to use instead.

Give praise: You could ask your child to say something that happened at school that is true. When your child obeys, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific. 【小题3】 and give your child a hug or a high five. Aim for one or two interactions(互动)like this a day. If you happen to "catch" your child in a lie,say something like,“That is not true and could get you in trouble outside of the home.”

Act as a model: Explicitly(明确地)tell the truth. This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true that day. Again,give a little praise to the child who normally lies if she plays along.

Decrease punishments and moralizing(说教):They are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. 【小题4】 Rather,use very mild punishments(light scolding,short loss of privileges,a brief timeout). More severe punishments(shouting,taking away something for a week,hitting)are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying.

【小题5】 Usually they can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed,but with the right encouragement,it can be dramatically lessened.

A.It is not what that is,but about practice.
B.As ways of changing behavior,these are ineffective.
C.That does not mean ignoring,lying or letting it go.
D.“That was great!You told me what happened just like I asked. Wow!”
E.Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are.
F.“You did a good job,but what you said was not what I'd like to know!”
G.Parents do this out of love,but for some children,lying can become a problem.
