the first play was put on in 1844. the first two movies were silent films made in 1901 and 1908. since then, the story has been remade more than 60 times for television and cinema. what makes such a tale so attractive? audiences have always loved a good plot, a villain(反面人物) who harms other people or breaks the law, and the ending of right over wrong. the book offers all three.the book tells the story of a man named ebenezer scrooge. he is mean and cruel(残忍的) to his clerk and turns away his only living relative. one night, scrooge is visited by three spirits. the first shows scenes from scrooges youth that led to this present state. the second takes him to the homes of his clerk and his nephew. here scrooge sees that people can be happy without lots of money. the spirit also shows him the desperate poor people of london. the third spirit shows scrooge will die alone, and no one will care if he continues to live as he has. at last the message is understood, and scrooge repents. he becomes generous and caring to all around him, especially to his clerks sick son, tiny tim.every year, thousands of people watch a christmas carol. why? they may be touched by its lessons on the true meanings of wealth and happiness. they may enjoy the special effects and feelings or watching every year may be just a habit. viewers never seem to grow tired of the old miser(守财奴), scrooge, and his dramatic message of hope and change.56. what do we know about the book a christmas carol? a. it was written in the early 19th century.b. dickens completed the book in a week.c. it has been adapted

important in some regions than in others (detroit, cleveland and buffalo being the biggest sweetest day cities). it is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country. sweetest day is celebrated on the third saturday in october as a day to make someone happy. it is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed. over 60 years ago, a cleveland man, believing that the citys orphans and shut-ins (卧病在床的人) too often felt forgotten and neglected, formed the idea of showing them that they were remembered. he did this through the distribution(分发) of small gifts. with the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed these small remembrances on a saturday in october. during the years that followed, other clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called sweetest day. in time, the sweetest day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged（弱势群体）was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. and soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country. sweetest day is not based on any single groups religious belief or on a family relationship. it is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving, sweetest day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a practical way.59. which

are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe-life probably much like that on our own planet. they reason in the following way.as far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. they have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. what we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. this eliminates(除去) all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. a smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. this eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify.finally, life could evolve(进化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. with a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. with a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.if we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? first, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. next eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns. then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. it may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out.this
