14. B。  文章意图题。本文主要是介绍了ShowBiz Summer 2008的一些重要信息，以及一些课程培训的时间和内容安排，其目的就是希望读者对此熟悉，并参加这些课程的培训。故答案选B。
15. D。  细节理解题。从文章中“important information”部分可知，交费时间最迟是开学当天，
对于在以后日子开学的并不一定要在6月2号之前，因各个培训时间不同，故选项A不对；如果课程取消当然所交费用可以退还，因此，选项B不对；注册应该是在上课后前个小时而不是之后半个小时，因此，选项C不对；上学第一天，学生要求最好有人陪伴。故答案选D。
16. B。  推理判断题。根据文章，参加四种课程孩子的年龄各异，历经6、7、8三个月。四种课程中，只有第一种课程需要带午餐和饮料。另外，所有课程的举办地都是在　　Rosewood　　Center　　 for Family Arts。故答案选B。
17. D。  细节判断题。文章在第四中活动中提到“Do you want to be an actor?”。故答案选D。
