【正文】 About 6 years ago, I was on a plane next to a woman. I was tired and wanted to take a nap. But before I could go into ignore pattern, she tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself. Hi, my name is Helga! We got to talking and eventually it came up that I had started an organization in high school called .(Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and told me that she admired me for that. She told me a story about the last time she had flown. She was on the way to Arizona because she had gotten sudden news that her dad39。s health was on the decline. Later her father39。s physician called to inform her that her dad had rather suddenly passed away. For the 3hour plane ride, she sat in silence around strangers. When she arrived at the airport in Arizona, she walked to the nearest wall, sat down, and cried. And here is the part I39。ll never forget about Helga39。s story. For 2 hours she sat and wept while thousands walked to and fro in the airport. Helga looked at me and said, Houston, not a single person stopped and asked if I was okay that day. It was that day that I realized how much we need each other. It was that day I realized that kindness isn39。t normal. Kindness isn39。t normal. That has stuck with me all these years especially now. I work in schools nationwide speaking about sympathy, kindness, empathy (同理心) and love. I39。m reminded all the time that, for many of us, kindness is not usually our default setting. We spend so much time worrying about our problems, our lives, our insecurities, getting to our flight so we walk by or ignore people in need of help. So, I39。ve made it my mission to do my part in sharing stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character and sympathy. I39。m always be on the lookout for the little opportunities that surround me every day to do something nice.（1）What impressed the author most about Helga39。s story?

As someone who takes part in so many activities, it39。s extremely difficult to find the time to be a part of any production. For me, it was a onceinalifetime opportunity to try acting through the Senior Play Project. Auditions (試鏡)came first. They weren39。t particularly difficult, more to see who may be a better fit tor certain roles. We were told our roles in the various plays, and started to work immediately. I was unsure of how I was as an actor, and I had to learn a lot fast: actions, my place in the story, my reactions, and countless other small details... As I began to improve as an actor, I was able to understand my characters better. My first character is a man named Roger who is a senior advisor to a presidential candidate in a play called The Spot. He39。s a shorttempered guy who says what he wants and takes what he wants to assist his candidate in today39。s tough political races. He39。s on the set of The Spot, an advertisement for the candidate, to make sure everything runs smoothly and that any problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently. While I had really interesting characters, and the plays were funny and such a great experience to act in, I really love the Senior Play Project for the people. I worked with 12 other seniors who not only loved what they were doing, but offered help and advice throughout my entire learning process. Between the lights, sounds, costume and makeup, and plenty more, theatre is a team sport just like basketball or baseball. There are no small parts。 there is no one who isn39。t needed. I39。ve learned to appreciate live theatre, and the effort that every person in the show, both onstage and offstage, puts into it.（1）How did the author feel about being in the project? A.Lucky.B.Tired.C.Nervous.D.Confident.（2）What do we know about the character Roger? A.He means what he says.B.He puts up an advertisement.C.He gives advice to the candidate.D.He
