he headed south to new york, again on foot, in 1898. his american career began with him working as a floor sweeper in a glove factory. three years later he was a star glove salesman.in 1913, goldfish, jesse l. lasky and cecil b. demille formed the jesse l. lasky feature play company. the three men began working on a movie squaw man. demille insisted that the movie be made in the real american west. finally, they chose a quiet little town in southern california. it was called hollywood. the company decided to build its studio in the town, and later hollywood became the center of the movie industry. in 1916, goldfish started a business with edgar selwyn. they combined their names goldfish and selwyn and called the new company goldwyn. samuel goldfish liked the name and changed his to samuel goldwyn. in 1922, goldwyn left the company and formed his own company samuel goldwyn productions one year later. goldwyn was one of the great independent producers during the “golden age” of

of humor. he created many funny expressions. in hollywood they are known as goldwynisms. goldwyn died in 1974. he was in the movie business for almost sixty years. he is considered one of the founding

snow is an old idea. people have been skiing for more than 4,000 years! but skiing on water is relatively new. how did waterskiing begin? who thought up the idea in the first place?waterskiing didnt begin until boats had motors that provided enough power to tow (牵引) someone on waterskis (滑水橇). the idea of skiing on water probably began in hawaii with surfboarding, a sport in which a person rides a board on waves near the seashore.the first person to waterski was, most likely, ralph samuelson. he wore boards tied to his feet and was towed around lake city in minnesota. that was in 1922. after that, the sport of waterskiing took off.equipment changed quickly. skiers looked for faster skis, faster boats, and new challenges. some skiers thought of some very original ideas. a waterskier of florida came up with a new idea. in 1947 he waterskied without waterskis! he skied with bare feet. thirty years later, in 1977 billy nicholaus also skied with bare feet. in fact, he set a record because he skied barefoot for two hours, forty-two minutes and thirty-nine seconds!waterskiers have done amazing things on skis too. in 1971 danny churchill skied at a speed of more than 125 miles per hour. that was the highest speed in the 1970s. six years later will coughey skied 1,124 miles without stopping! in 1979, sammy duvall, jumped 182 feet off a ramp (斜坡), landing on the water.the sport hasnt stopped changing. today boats tow waterskiers wearing parachutes. when the boat picks up enough speed, the skiers leave the water and start flying. other people ride a jet-powered ski and ski across the water on their own. 60. the passage is mainly about _.a. the comparisons between waterskiing and snow skiingb. the beginning and development of waterskiingc. the best way to learn waterskiingd.the rapid development of waterskiing equipment61. which of the following skiers skied fastest per hour according to the passage?a. danny churchill. b. will coughey.c. sammy duvall. d. billy nicholaus.62. which of the following events happened last?a. ralph samuelson tried waterskiing.b. a man of florida skied with bare feet.c. billy nicholaus set a record.d. people used a jet-powered ski.63. we can infer from the passage that _.a. waterskiing has a history of less than 100 yearsb. waterskiing is a sport as old as snow skiingc. waterskiers must wear water skis when skiingd. waterskiers must wear parachutes when skiingcmore than four out of five people admit to telling little white lies at least once a day and the preferred way of “being economical with the truth” is to use technology such as cellphones, text messages and e-mails, a survey said last thursday.the research found that “techno-treachery （高科技说谎）” was widespread with nearly 75 percent of people saying gadgets (小器具) made it easier to fib (撒小谎).just over half of the respondents （被调查者） said using gadgets made them feel less guilty when telling a lie than doing it face to face.the workplace was a favorite location for fibbing with 67 percent of the 1,487 respondents admitting they had lied at work.the top lie was pretending to be ill (43 percent), followed by saying work had been completed when it hadnt (23 percent). worryingly for bosses 18 percent said they lied to hide a big mistake.but, employers were not the only ones on the receiving end of dishonest statements. just over 40 percent of the respondents said they had lied to their families or partners.key topics to lie about were: buying new clothes or the cost of them (37 percent), how good someone looked in something (35 percent), how much they had eaten (35 percent) and drunk (31 percent) and how much they weighed (32 percent).64. the underlined phrase “being economical with the truth” probably means

show us off with your big, wide smiles.first, let me tell you a little about us. you werent born with the baby teeth, they developed when you were about six or seven months old. you went from milk to real food in no time thanks to your twenty primary teeth. eventually, they loosened and fell out, one at a time, probably about the time you were six or seven years old. then we came into your life. we are your permanent teeth, all twenty-eight of us. some people may even have thirty-two depending on those wisdom teeth in the back. sometimes they are able to help, and sometimes they cause trouble. many times wisdom teeth are sideways and have to be pulled. some people dont even have them at all!on a more personal note, i am an incisor, and you have seven more just like me, here in the front of your mouth. we do the biting on those chocolate chip cookies you like so much. next to us are the canines, four sharp teeth, two on either side. their job is to tear food; pizza is a good one for them. behind them are eight premolars and eight to twelve molars, depending on those wisdom teeth. the molars do the majority of the work chewing the food that you eat. they do a great job on those carrots you like so much!did you know we not only help you bite and chew but also help you talk? thats right. try to say “tooth” without letting your tongue touch the back of your teeth. it sounds pretty funny, doesnt it?68. how many teeth does a four-year-old boy usually have according to the passage?a. 20.b. 24.c. 28. d. 32.69. why are the wisdom teeth pulled sometim
