a new attraction is now showing in paris, florida, california and tokyo----“honey, i shrunk(缩小)the audience.” like the film “honey, i shrunk the kids” the show makes the audience feel very small. have you ever wondered what it would be like to be as small as a mouse? now is your chance to find out!
when you enter the cinema, you are given a pair of 3d glasses. the film starts in an ordinary way. then suddenly you are the size of a mouse and everything else in the world seems huge! a dog seems ready to jump out of the cinema screen and eat you up! then someone picks up the cinema in which you are sitting, and it feels as if it is moving! the show uses special effects, and sound effects too. in one scene a snake attacks the audience and a cat turns into a lion and jumps at the audience. in another scene the inventor’s son puts his pet mouse into a magic box to make more mice, and suddenly it seems as though a hundred mice are running over your feet all round the theatre!

how to go busking(街头卖艺) in the street
find a busy spot with lots of “people traffic”. but make sure you’re not in anyone’s way. an empty shopfront will do nicely. don’t make the mistake of choosing very busy places with crowds. outside a busy bus station is not a good place. it will be too noisy for people to hear you and they won’t see you either. it will be too easy for them to pass by in a crowd without giving anything.
having found your spot, put out something to collect the money, for example, your empty guitar case, a blanket or an old hat. put a few coins in yourself before you start playing; add a couple of ￡ 1 coins to show that some people have given a lot! don’t overdo it, though; if your hat is too full, people will think you don’t need the money.
play simple, well-known pop tunes that people love. make sure that you know plenty of songs. if you play very fast tunes, people will walk by quickly and won’t stop to give. play a sad, tuneful song from time to time. guitars, violins, flutes are all good street instruments and are easy to hear. if you can play the australian didgeridoo(迪吉里杜管)( a long wooden pipe which makes a deep sound), people will stop to listen, because in many countries it’s an unusual instrument.
when people stop to listen to the end of the tune, and maybe to hear the next one, then you know you’ve got an audience. smile at them, make eye contact, and thank them when they drop their coins into your hat. finally, remember that busking is not begging, but making people happy. show that you love music and that the money is not the most important thing. if you play with a smile on your face and with your foot tapping, you’ll give out a sense of happiness to passers-by.
