As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zookeeper pulls him into his office. The zookeeper explains that the zoos most popular attraction, a gorilla(大猩猩), has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance(出席人数) at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla. The mime accepts.The next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He soon discovers he can sleep, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime the job he likes but loses.However, with days going by, he begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition(隔墙), and dangles(悬挂) from the top to the lions cage. The lion gets angry at this. The scene is a fuel to the crowd.At the end of the day he is given a raise for being such a good attraction well, this continues for some time. The crowds grow larger, and the mimes pay keeps going up.Then one day when he is dangling over the lion he slides and falls. The mime is terrified.

Everyone has heard of it, and many have died fighting for it. The only thing is that there is no clear definition of the American Dream. It is not defined by one dream, but by all the opportunities that the United States offers. Since the founding of the United States, people have been striving to define the American Dream.In the play Death of a Salesman, every character is trying to realize his own version of the American Dream. Willy feels that he has done so. He has spent his whole life as a not very successful salesman. As he gets older, he starts having conflicts with everyone in his life, and feels that only by killing himself will the people around him be able to finally be happy.Bernard, on the other hand, feels that the American Dream can only be achieved through career success. He shows that through hard work and dedication he will be crowned with success.The dialogue of the characters reveals the different attitudes they have toward the American Dream, and the reaction of Willy to the fact that Bernard is very successful while he is not.Many people try to achieve the American Dream, but few actually do so. As with any goal, it takes hard work and dedication to achieve the American Dream. In Death of a Salesman, all aspects of this goal are examined. For the goal to be achieved, the dream must be an attainable one which is worth working toward. It also must be a dream that the professional world accepts and finds useful.28. The underlined word “striving” probably has the same meaning as “_”.A. trying hard B. giving up C. bending down D standing still29. According to the text, Death of a Salesman tries to tell us _.A. what the American Dream is like B. why Willy decides to kill himselfC. about Bernards dedication to his work? D. the life stories of Willy and Bernard30. According to the author, Bernard is successful because _.A. he understands the real worldB. he knows how to take advantage of his knowledgeC. he works hard to achieve his goalsD. he is popular around the world31.

Do you like yellow, orange, red? _36_ . Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist.

If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly._38_ .

But their 44 soon wears off and by January those 45 toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of 46 stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument(纪念碑) to someones 47 interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child 48 bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however, the 49 of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents(青少年) enter high school with great 50 but are soon looking forward to 51 . The same is true of the young adults going to college. And then, how many 52 , who now complain about the long drives to work, 53 drove for hours at a time when they first 54 their drivers licenses?
