27、   How to educate young people and attract them into theaters has long been a question discussed by experts of the stage arts around the world. At the ongoing World Class Theater for Chinese Audiences meeting on Thursday, the dialogue Theatre and Youth: Theater Practice for Youth dealt with this issue.

Wang Keran, a producer from Chinese cultural company, stressed that the theater industry needs to carry out comprehensive (综合性的) education concerning the theater for the young, while Zhou Xing from China’s Ministry of Education said that theater education has a broader definition, which includes human thoughts, emotions and expression.

Overseas theater directors and actors including Jean Varela, Florence Mach and Oriol Broggi, also share their experiences and thoughts on this topic.

In the eyes of Varela, theater education is one of the most important means to raise people’s ability to appreciate the artform. “I was forced by my mum to at end these performance classes in the hope of helping me get rid of my shyness over my obesity (肥胖) when I was a kid. It turned out she was right,” he said. March, who focuses on arts education and research, said that his project Spring of School aims to help youngsters aged 14-16 with the goal of “helping them become better people”.

These guests also gave different advice to encourage more and more young people to walk into the theaters. Anais Martane came up with the idea of low-priced student tickets on days like Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, which she said will help kids turn the performing arts into a hobby. “In France, the price for kids can be very low, so that parents can take them to many plays. This is also an important part of theater education,” she said.

29、In 1996 John Jones made an unusual discovery. He had just enlarged (扩大) a piece of paper money for a friend—a Confederate bank note, money issued (发行) by banks in Southern States of America during the Civil War. When he was face to face with the picture, he couldn’t believe his eyes: slaves (奴隶) happily picking cotton in their master’s fields.

Jones grew up in South Carolina. He had heard painful stories of slavery from his greatgrandmother. The picture on the money did not match (匹配) the history of African American slaves that he’d heard all his life. “I had never seen that type of picture on money before,” he said.

Jones wondered why slaves looked so happy. He started doing research.

Searching for and finding the answers to his questions changed his life. During two years’ search, Jones found more than 120 different bills. He discovered that the bills had several things in common. They showed slaves working in jobs related to farming. Many of them showed healthy and smiling slaves at work. None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery.

Jones wanted to share what he had learned. “I wanted other people to see what I had seen,” he said. He decided to make large paintings of the pictures on the money. After three years of work, Jones had painted more than 80 slavery scenes (场景).He paired each painting with the money on which the picture appeared. “The Color of Money”—an exhibit (展览) of his work—has toured the country.

Jones' paintings tell an important story about the South 150 years ago. He likes to repeat the saying. “The story is on the money.” In this case, the saying happens to be true.

【1】How did Jones feel when he saw the picture on the money?

A. Angry.   B. Painful.

C. Excited.   D. Surprised.

C. Slaves lived a harder life than he thought.

D. Slaves worked long hours on farms.
