Leading figures from the arts circle have come togther to fight for the 21-year-old theatre.
Barbara Windsor, chairman of the Performing Art Society, said: "If they have to tear it down it would be a waste of a good theatre. Every town needs a heart."
John Stevens, of Sutton Theatre Company, said the theatre had suffered from a lack of money and business support. "There's a crying need for a theatre in Sutton and the public will lose out if the Secombe goes."
Peter Geiringer, a city government official also argued that a neighborhood center was not the same as a theatre. "It's silly; this is the death of the Secombe. They're going to replace (代替) it by a hall so no one in Sutton will be able to go to a real theatre."
Leslie Coman, member of city committee for the arts, said: "The Secombe has played an out- standing role in the cultural life of this town over many years. It is only right that the committee continues to look at how it can provide new buildings for artists' workshops, and performances."
Sutton Arts Committee Chairman Tony Kerslake said: "At some stage a building comes to the end of its life. If a new one was built in the same place, I would accept that as progress."
The government report makes people wonder whether the theatre will be______.
A．replaced
B．closed
C．rebuilt
D．enlarged

Subway
If anything truly revolutionized the way New Yorkers live, work and play, it's the subway. On any given weekday, 4.5 million people travel on the 6,400 cars that run along 722 miles of track beneath the city's five teeming (热闹的) boroughs. For all their complaints about it-the dirt! The crowding! The noise!—the subway remains nothing short of the miracle it was when the subway opened in 1904.
What was the original impetus behind developing the subway？
Existence on these streets, with the teeming masses, could not be borne any longer. Many areas were very diseased, new immigrants were huddled together. What was needed was the development of the outer boroughs to really occupy the workers, and the people needed to fill the jobs and facilities and services that Manhattan always had.
Was there any resistance to building it？
New York City had all the difficulties that we have today: NIMBY-ism existed even then. We had Tammany Hall we had corruption. But we also had a lot of very high-minded New Yorkers, people who really felt that this city must grow and had the best interests of the city at heart. At the same time electricity was invented. Being a very, very new science it was being very closely adapted for street railways. Then you have this invention of multiple-unit train control, where whole series of cars can run at the same time while piloted by the first-car motorman. That was an incredible thing. Now they had the tools in which they could run underground and not worry about soot ventilation(通风). Then of course you have to pick the route. Just like today, everybody wants it to go somewhere else. It's very interesting to note that the first subway route was a public-private venture, where the city owned the subway and put up the money, some ＄50 million, which at the time was astronomical(庞大的).
Is the initial economic impact at all quantifiable？
Around 1910, before the subway started going to Brooklyn it was nowhere near a million in population. Within ab6ut 10 years of the opening of the subway systems there, the population goes beyond a million. If you look at the 1930s when it went out to Flushing, there's nothing out there. It's like prairie; it's like going out to Montana. If you look at it after the war, there's not one lot left. Basically, we built an empire based on public transit. This does not happen with the automobile. We did not see this with the maze of highway systems that went up. What we did see was the deterioration of the center core city to the growth of the suburbs. One of the things about a subway car, there's from 40 to 150 people in this ear. I am now going to put every one of them in an automobile: You would have a line of automobiles that would stretch four to five blocks in length. But they all fit in one subway car, they all fit in one bus.
Is subway central to the city even today？
Everything the city of New York depends on the growth of the subway system. About three quarters of people took the train to work today. The idea of public transit is essential, sensible and the key to a healthy city. The ability New York City had on the opening of the subway is that they could physically move 30,000 people from 125th Street to Wall Street in less than 15 minutes. That's incredible. No one was able to do that. When the subway system was able to pull this kind of volume, people said "You know, I think I am going to live in the Bronx. I think I am going to live in upper Manhattan-96th Street doesn't look so far away when you think of it." It was a massive success, it was money spent in the right place. I would say that that ＄50 million probably brought the tune of trillions of dollars and are still producing trillions of dollars to this day.
Why did people think the subway was an aesthetic wonder？
More than a technological feat, the subway was also
A．Y
B．N
C．NG

Nothing can more seriously change the look of a town or city so dramatically than the sudden appearance of an office building which t【72】above all the surrounding buildings. Before the arrival of this skyscraper, all the buildings in the city stood in special relationship to each other. The most str【73】of them was probably the cathedral or the town hall f【74】by other public buildings. These dominated the city and gave it a definite shape. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the new arrival dwarfs (使显得矮小) everything in sight, and even the most【75】(grace) existing buildings may now be so sadly di【76】as to seem slightly ridiculous beside this monster. It rises up above them like a huge, white, slotted (开门的) packing-case resting【77】its side, demanding at【78】merely because of its size and not because of any intrinsic (内在的) worth.
Part of the charm of a big city l【79】in the variety of styles that can be seen in the architecture of its buildings. One feels that the city has grown slowly and each age has left its mark. By demolishing buildings of f【80】times, we wipe out every vestige of the past forever.
