universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. millers father had moved to the usa from austria hungary, attracted like so many others by the “great american dream”. however, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the great depression of theearly l930s.millers most famous play, death of a salesman, is a powerful attack on the american system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as symbol of worth. in willy loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. willy is “burnt out” andin the cruel world of businessthere is no room for sympathy: if he cant do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the wagner company, and he must go. willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. he refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.when it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the tony award for best play, the new york drama critics circle award, and the pulitzer prize for drama. it was the first play to

miller and his best-known play.bin communities north of denver, residents are joining in to help teachers and administrators as the vrain school district tries to solve a $13.8 million budget (预算) shortage blamed on mismanagement. “were worried about our teachers and principals, and we really dont want to lose them because of this,” one parent said. “if we can help ease their financial burden, we will.”teachers are grateful, but know it may be years before the district has enough money to pay all the debts. they feel really good about the parent support, but they realize its impossible for them to solve this problem.the 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. its extraordinary. nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level, said state treasurer mike coffman.coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing a $9.8 million loan (贷款) that enabled the payroll (工资单) to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays. district officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts. at coffmans request, the district lawyer has begun looking into the districts finances. coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the november election, when voters agreed to a $212 million bond issue (债券发行) for schools.in frederick, students parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and public services to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.some $36,000 has been raised in donations from safeway. a businessman donated $10,000 and forgave the districts $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. ibm contributed 4,500 packs of paper.“we employ thousands of people in this community,” said mitch carson, a hospital chief leader, who helped raise funds. “we have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected.”at creek high school, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum (论坛). “rumors about whats happening to the district are moving at lighting speed,” said a student. “we wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead.”66. what has happened to the vrain school district?a. a huge financial problem has arisen.b. many schools there are mismanaged.c. lots of teachers in the district are

catch a cab or get directions to an attraction, not to mention you might want to stay in touch with the folks back home. hope you arent relying on your personal cellphone. industry experts estimate that most american cellphones wont work overseas due to compatibility (兼容性) issues. and even if yours did work, the roaming (漫游) charges would be too high.so what are your choices? you could rent a

company like global cellular rental.the process is amazingly fast and simple. all you have to do is to log onto the companys website, www. globalcellularrental, and place an order. the site will show you the countries you will be traveling to and ask you how long you will need the phone. the company then ships a cellphone directly to you anywhere in the world. the phone arrives with complete instructions. the traveler also learns his overseas phone number well in advance, enabling him to inform all vital contacts of the number before he ever steps on a plane.roaming rates are usually 80 percent less than those charged by american service providers. calls back to the us can be discounted 40 percent or more. the rental cost is just $5 per day, and discount packages are available for long-term rental of two months or more. this cellphone solution is becoming so popular that global cellular rental actually has relationships with hotel chains around the world to keep phones in stock for hotel guests. and for those whose journey really takes them off the beaten track, the company can also rent satellite phones to them. these phones work anywhere in the world as long as you are outside.71. which of the following is the best title of the passage?a. how to rent a satellite phone.b. a cost-effective way to communicate overseas.c. a satellite phone vs a personal cellphone.d.
