ayn rand. people also continue to talk about her ideas and her interesting life.as a young child, alisa loved books. she began to write her own stories when she was only seven. she took classes in politics, history, law and writing. in 1926, she traveled to the united states and decided she would never leave. she also decided to change her name to ayn rand. newly named, rand moved to hollywood, california to work in the movie business. throughout the 1930s, she published two books, but did not earn much critical or popular recognition. then, in 1943, rands famous book the fountainhead was published. it took her seven years to write the novel. twelve publishers rejected the book. however, a man named archibald ogden loved the story and convinced the bobbs-merrill company to publish it. the fountainhead became a huge success around the world. it has sold more than six million copies. it continues to sell about one hundred thousand copies each year.the fountainhead tells the story of a young building designer named howard roark. roark wants to build interesting, modern-looking buildings. however, most people only want to see traditional designs. roark loves designing and building more than anything in the world. but he refuses to compromise and make buildings he hates. several people work against roark and his goals. but in the end, roark succeeds.the fountainhead is an unusual novel for many reasons. it is more than 700 pages long, far longer than most books people read for entertainment. more importantly, it also includes discussions of philosophy, which are not usually found in popular books. most critics did not like the fountainhead. but readers loved it. in 1949，it was made into a popular movie. she lived quietly in new york city until she died in 1982. she is still one of the most loved, and hated, american thinkers and writers.56when did alisa decide to change her name to ayn rand?awhen she began to write her own stories.bwhen she took classes in

in a special way - by studying movements of random floating garbage. a scientist with many years experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the united states. there were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes about 60,000 in total fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. he phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. as expected, the company told him that they didnt. ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. if he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.the pacific northwest is one of the worlds best areas for beachcombing（海滩搜寻） because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. in a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. with this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.as the result of his work, ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. he has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from west africa to new zealand. they have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.61the underlined phrase “ swap meets” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.afitting rooms btrading fairs cbusiness talks dgroup meetings62ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _.awhat caused the shipping accidentbwhen and where the shoes went missingcwhether it was all right to use their shoesdhow much they lost in the shipping accident63how did ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?aby collecting information from beachcombers.bby studying the shoes found by beachcomber.cby searching the web for ocean currents models.dby researching ocean currents data in the library.64ebbesmeyer is most famous for _.atraveling widely the coastal cities of the worldbmaking records for any lost objects on the seacrunning a global currents research associationdphoning about any doubtful objects on the sea65what is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?ato call peoples attention to ocean pollution.bto warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.cto explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.dto give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.cmy sister jodie and i are always traveling for workas jewelry designers, we need to go to a lot of showswe cant pack lightly and usually bring about four suitcases filled with

collectionbut the agents didnt buy itthen a few women guards came over to assistone of the women guards was holding an earring up to her ear and another was trying on a ringapparently, they liked our

friends refrigerator: “practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” the phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.judy foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far
