Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin was born on April 16. 1889 in London. His father was an entertainer and although not one of the big names, he was doing very well. His mother Hannah was also an entertainer. While they were by no means rich. the music hall provided the Chaplins with a comfortable living.
Unfortunately happy life did't last long. Father's alcoholism was slowly, but surely destroying his marriage. Finally it ended in divorce. But Hannah was indomitable(不屈不挠的). Without her, Charlie Chaplin would have become just one more child lost in the poverty of Victorian London. Somehow she not only managed to keep Charlie and his brother Syney clean and warm, clothed and fed, but she conjured(变戏法)little treats for them. She would sit at the window watching the passersby and guess at their characters from the way they looked and behaved, spinning tales to delight Charlie and Syney. Charlie took in her skills and went on using them all his life.
Charlie had always believed, even in the worst times, that he had some special potentials inside him. He. took his courage and went to see one .of the top theatrical agents. With no experience at all, he was being offered the part of Billy--the pageboy (小听差) in a new production of "Sherlock Holmes". "Sherlock Holmes" opened on July 27, 1903 at the enormous "Pavilion Theatre". Charlie seemed to change overnight. It was as if he had found the thing he was meant to do.
In 1910. when Karno set off on its yearly American tour, Charlie was regarded as "one of the best pantomime(哑剧)artists ever seen here. " They had reached Philadelphia when a telegram arrived and he was being offered the chance to replace a star in the Key- stone film company.
Cinema was born in the same year as Charlie, though people still believed it was a passing fad(一时的狂热，时尚), and would never replace live shows. He was kept hanging about for several weeks and he used the time to watch and to learn. He was determined to master this new medium. It offered him the chance of money and success and it would set him free from the unpredictability of live audience.
Charlie's first film, released in February 1914, was called "Making a living". Though it didn't satisfy Charlie, the public liked it. After that he made ten films and he learned a lot. The public loved him and distributors were demanding more and more Chaplin films. In an incredibly short time, Charlie had become a very important man in motion picture.

Diogenes was the founder of the creed called Cynicism (the word means "doggishness"); he spent much of his life in the rich, lazy, corrupt Greek city of Corinth, mocking and satirizing its people, and occasionally converting one of them. He was not crazy. He was a philosopher who wrote plays and poems and essays expounding his doctrine; he talked to those who cared to listen; he had pupils who admired him. But he taught chiefly by example. All should live naturally, he said, for what is natural is normal and cannot possibly be evil or shameful. Live without conventions, which are artificial and false; escape complexities and superfluities and extravagance; only so can you live a free life. The rich man believes he possesses his big house with its many rooms and its elaborate furniture, his pictures and his expensive clothes, his horses and his servants and his bank accounts. He does not. He depends on them, he worries about them, he spends most of his life's energy looking after them; the thought of losing them makes him sick with anxiety. They possess him. He is their slave. In order to procure a quantity of false, perishable goods he has sold the only true, lasting good, his own independence.
Diogenes thought most people were only half-alive, most men only half-men. At bright noonday he walked through the market place carrying a lighted lamp and inspecting the face of everyone he met. They asked him why. Diogenes answered, "I am trying to find a man."
To a gentleman whose servant was putting on his shoes for him, Diogenes said, "You won't be really happy until he wipes your nose for you; that will come after you lose the use of your hands."
And so he lived—like a dog, some said, because he cared nothing for privacy and other human conventions, and because he showed his teeth and barked at those whom he disliked. Now he was lying in the sunlight, as contented as a dog on the warm ground, happier than the Shah of Persia. Although he knew he was going to have an important visitor, he would not move.
According to the passage which one of the following is in accord with Diogenes's philosophy？
A．We should lead a lazy and idle life.
B．People should live a natural and simple life.
C．We'd better enjoy a luxurious life.
D．We should make an easy living just like a dog.

In the Caucasus (高加索) region of the Soviet Union, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday, and many don' t stop at 100. By comparison, in America only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these Soviet old people aren't alone. The Pakistani Hunzas, who live high in the Himalaya Mountains, and the Vilcabambans of the Andes Mountains (安第斯山脉) in Ecuador(厄爪多尔) seem to share the secret of long life too.
These peoples remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time. While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and iii in their 60s and 70s, some Soviet Georgians, aged 110 to 140, work in the fields beside their great grand children. Even the idea of aging is foreign to them. When asked, "At what age does youth end？" most of these old people had no answer. Several replied, "Well, perhaps at age 80." The very youngest estimate was age 60.
What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age, and to survive so well？ First of all, hard physical work is' a way of life for all of these long-lived peoples. They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam Mamedov is 142 years of age. He remembers his life experiences: The Crimean War of 1854; the Turkish War of 1878; the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Mamedov has no intentions of retiring from his life as a farmer. "why？ What else would I do？" he asks. Oh, he's slowed down a bit. Now he might quit for the day after 6 hours in the field instead of 10.
All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work. They all come from mountainous regions. They live and work at elevations of 5,000 to 12,000 feet (1,660 to 4,000 meters) above sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollution free. This reduced oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel system stronger.
Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent, they are separated from the pressures and worries of industrial society.
Inherited factors also play some role. Most of the longest lived peoples had parents and grand parents who also reached very old ages. Good family genes may, therefore, be one factor in living longer.
Finally, although these three groups don't eat exactly the same foods, their diets are similar. The Hunzas, Vilcabambans, and Soviets eat little animal meat. Their diets are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese, and milk. They never eat more food than their bodies need.
It is clear that isolation from urban pressures and pollution, clean mountain air, daily hard work, moderate diets, good genes, and a youthful approach to life all contribute to the health and remarkable long life of all these people.
In the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union______.
A．many people can live up to more than 100 years
B．many old people live very lonely
C．many people from other mountainous region come to settle here
D．many older persons become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s for no reason
When he was 28, the worst difficulty of all came to him. He began to notice a strange humming in his ears. At first he paid little attention, but it grew worse, and at last he consulted doctors. They gave him the worst news any musician can hear: he was gradually going deaf. Beethoven was in despair, he was sure that he was going to die.
He went away to the country, to a place called Heiligenstadt, and from there he wrote a long farewell letter to his brothers. In this letter he told them how depressed and lonely his deafness had made him. "It was impossible for me to ask men to speak louder or shout, for I am cleat," he wrote. "How could I possibly admit an infirmity (残废) in the one sense (hearing) which should have been more perfect in me than in others...？ I must live like an exile." He longed to die, and said to death, "Come when you will. I shall meet you bravely."
In fact, Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and went on writing music, though he could hear what he wrote only more and more faintly. He wrote his best music, the music we remember him for, after he became deaf. The music he wrote was very different from any that had been composed before. Instead of the elegant and stately music that earlier musicians had written for their wealthy listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting, revolutionary music, which reminds us of his troubled and courageous life. He grew to admire courage more than anything, and he called one of his symphonies the Eroica or Heroic Symphony to celebrate the memory of a great man. Describing the dramatic opening notes of his famous Fifth Symphony, he said, "Thus fate knocks on the door."
In time Beethoven went completely deaf, He was lonely and often unhappy, but in spite of this, he often wrote joyful music. In his last symphony, the Ninth, a choir sings a wonderful Hymn of Joy. Because of his courage and determination to overcome his terrible disaster, his music has given joy and inspiration to millions of people.
In the first paragraph we are told that Beethoven found that writing great music ______.
A．was easy
B．was difficult
C．was straightforward
D．easily satisfied him

Bernard Jackson is a free man today, but he has many bitter memories. Jackson spent five years in prison after a jury wrongly convicted him of raping two women. At Jackson' s trial, although two witnesses testified that Jackson was with them in another location at the times of thcrimes, he was convicted anyway. Why？ The jury believed the testimony of the two victims, who positively identified Jackson as the man who had attacked them. The court eventually freed Jackson after the police found the man who had really committed the crimes.
Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. For instance, witnesses some-times see photographs of several suspects before they try to identify the person they saw in a lineup of people. They can become confused by seeing many photographs of similar faces. The number of people in the lineup, and whether it is a live lineup or a photograph, may also affect a witness' s decision. People sometimes have difficulty identifying people of other races. The questions the po-lice ask witnesses also have an effect on them.
Many people believe that police officers are more reliable than ordinary people. Psychologists decided to test this idea, and they discovered that it is not true. Two psychologists showed a film of crimes to both police officers and civilians. The psychologists found no difference between the police and the civilians in correctly remembering the details of the crimes. .
Despite all the possibilities for inaccuracy, courts cannot exclude eyewitness testimony from a trial. American courts depend almost completely on eyewitness testimony to resolve court cases. Sometimes it is the only evidence to a crime, such as rape. Furthermore, eyewitness testimony is often correct. Although people do sometimes make mistakes, many times they really do identify in dividuals correctly.
American courts depend on the ability of the twelve jurors, and not the judges, to determine the accuracy of the witness' s testimony. It is their responsibility to decide if a certain witness could actually see, hear, and remember what occurred.
In a few cases the testimony of eyewitnesses has convicted innocent people. More important ly,it has rightly convicted a larger number of guilty people; consequently, it continues to be of great value in the American judicial system.
56. Benard Jackson was found guilty by the jury because_________ .
[A] the victims insisted that he was the attacker
[ B] the judge believed in the victims' identification
[ C] the police discovered evidence leading to his guilt
[D] the eyewinesses confirmed the victims' testimony
