Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some ways of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument(乐器), if someone can play it. You may use a tape-recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in two rows, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction(方向) to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Every one goes in the same direction, of course. They should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on chairs. If he has no chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair! The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
16. If ten people are playing musical chairs, you must begin with ______.
A. nine chairs B. ten chairs C. eleven chairs D. one chair
17. Which of the following is not suitable(适宜的) for playing musical chairs?
A. A piano B. A radio C. A tape-recorder D. A telephone
18. The chairs should be put ______.
A. with the desks B. before the winner C. all over the room D. in a line
19. When the music starts, the players must ______.
A. run about the room B. get down
C. walk around the chairs D. sit on the chairs
20. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. The game “Musical Chairs” is not difficult to learn.
B. The last one can sit on the last chair.
C. The winner can sit on the chair.
D. If the person plays music, he cannot be the winner.
