It received a cautious wele from some in the arts world，who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.The plan es as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached 13.6 million in xx，up 10 percent on xx, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on xx to almost 470 million.One theatre source criticized the Government s priorities(优先考虑的事) in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying: “I don t know why the Government s wasting money on this. The Young Vic, as The Times reported today，offers excellent performances at cheap prices.”There was praise for the Government s plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said: “I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.”Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds，first-e, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.Mr. Burnham said: “A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it s not for them . It s time to change this perception.”Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said: “The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre，but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area.”66Critics of the plan argued that_.A. the theatres would be overcrowdedB. it would be a waste of moneyC. pensioners wouldnt get free ticketsD. the government wouldnt be able to afford it67According to the supporters, the plan should_.A. benefit the television industry B. focus on producing better playsC. help increase the sales of tickets D. involve all the young people in England68Which of the following is TRUE about the plan?A. Ninety five theatres have received funding. B. Everyone will get at least one free ticket.C. It may not benefit all the young people. D. Free tickets are offered once every day.69We can infer from the passage that in England_.A. many plays are not for young people B. many young people don t like theatreC. people know little about the plan D. children used to receive good arts education70According to the passage, the issue to offer free tickets to young people seems _.A. controversial B. inspiring C. exciting D. unreasonableD I recently ran into a friend I hadnt seen for a long whileOur conversation was lively and full of news from both sidesBefore we parted she said，“Youll have to drop in sometime.” I immediately sensed that if I simply “dropped in I would take my friend by surprise，and I would be discouraged by the image of her standing in her doorway，staring at me，and asking，“Oh，er what brings you here?”Whatever happened to the unannounced drop-in visit? When I was growing up in the 1960s, it seemed that people-mostly relatives, but also friends-were always popping in. My parents would put coffee on，and my mom would find something in the kitchen to serve along with itThen the conversation would beginThe neighbor lady，a worrier，was unloading her sadness while my mom quietly listenedThe Irish man next door had such an accent that I remember asking what language he spokeMy Polish relatives arrived in packsBut I never heard my parents say anything like “We werent expecting you or “This isnt a good time”Drop-in visitors had a certain right of way and became No1 What happened to such visits? Actually I know the answerTimes have changedEverybody gets busy with workThere is no longer a stay-at-home mom keeping a pot of hot coffee or tea ready throughout the day for a surprise guestExploding malls and stores are now replacing homes as a central form of entertainment Just the other day a former student of mine showed up“Im sorry for the surprise visit”my student began“I just wanted to see if you still lived hereIll only stay a minute” My response was immediate“No，you wont，” I said“Just e in，sit，have coffee, and well talk.I had nothing in the kitchen but we ordered pizzaAnd we had a lovely timeI have tried to keep the drop-in tradition alive though it takes some effort71T
