The Children’s Hour
The Children’s Hour by Lillian Hellman is a striking play about the power of a lie. Karen Wright (Keira Knightley) and Martha Dobie (Elisabeth Moss) run a girls’ boarding school in the 1930s New England. When an angry student starts a rumour that the two headmistresses are having a lesbian (女同性恋者) affair, it gradually destroys the women’s careers, relationships and lives. The Children’s Hour is an upsetting story of cheat, shame and courage.
Banned in London and several cities across America, The Children’s Hour received its world opening on Broadway in 1934. Generations on, its exploration of a culture of fear remains remarkably relevant.

London, April 28---The Man Group, a British hedge fund, is betting that investors will want to read more than the latest how-to- get –rich-quick business book.
In a five-year deal worth roughly $3.6 million announced last week, Man has agreed to sponsor(主办)the Booker Prize for Fiction, which will be renamed the Man Booker Prize. Since creating the award in 1969, Booker P.L.G., a British food group, in June 2000, executives began considering attracting outside sponsors. Man will be the first of these. Bill Grimsey, the chief of the Big Food Group, saw little business sense in a link between a food supplier and a literary prize, explained Dotti Irving, a spokeswoman for the Booker Prize foundation.
Such dissimilarities (差异) have not reduced Man’s enthusiasm for the prize which is expected to be open for the first time to American authors. David Browne, a spokesman for Man, said most of the firm’s investors are high-net-worth individuals who appreciate literature. “The people who buy hedge funds,” Mr. Browne said, “also read.”
Under the new agreement, authors will get more money. The winner of the annual prize, to be awarded in October, will receive $73,000 , up from $30,000 the Australian writer Peter Carey won last year for his novel “True History of the Kelley Gang.”
The six short-listed authors will each receive $3,600, up from $1,500. Having a hedge fund as a backer apparently has its perks.(福利).
小题1:The article is mainly about ____.
A.the disagreement between two groupsB.the Booker Prize Foundation
C.the Big Food GroupD.The new development of Booker Prize
小题2: This article is most probably seen in a(n) ____.
A.best-selling bookB.magazineC.newspaperD.advertisement
小题3:What can be inferred from the article?
A.Bill Grimsey decided to open the prize for American authors
B.“How-to-get-rich-quick” business was written by Peter Carey.
C.Under the agreement, the Booker Prize will be sponsored only by Man.
D.If you win the prize, you will get $73,000 next October
小题4:Who is the spokesman for Man?
A.David BrowneB.Peter CareyC.Bill GrimseyD.Dotti Irving
