famous agricultural pioneers. But the 61-year-old man from Shandong Province has made scientific
breakthroughs(突破), which made great contributions to China’s food security(安全). His main work
has been in achieving the higher output of corn production.
Li, who holds the world record for the highest output of summer corn, once says, "Corn has a life; it
sings and dances. If you listen clearly, it can speak to you." He started his research in 1969 when he was
20 and just dropped out of a high school. He then read an article which pointed that corn output per mu
in the USA was six times higher than that in China. He was shocked and set out to work on just a small
piece of land round the clock to see if he could increase the output. He often went to the field with a
flashlight late at night, if he had been away during the day. By careful nurturing (照料) he managed to
double the output.
Li Denghai was awarded the "China Award for Significant Contribution to the Maize (玉米) Industry"
in 2005, and the same year the company named after his own name came into the market on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Li, however, is never happier than when he is in the middle of his cornfields. "I can forget my tiredness when talk to my corns," he says.

20th century. Miller"s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn 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 the early l930s.
Miller"s most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system,
with its aggressive (有进取心的) way of doing business and its insistence on money and social
status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into
trouble with his worth. Willy is "burnt out" and in the cruel world of business there is no room for
sentiment (多愁善感): if he can"t 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 win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February
10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.
B. He was attracted by the "Great American Dream".
C. He hoped to make his son a dramatist.
D. His family business failed.
B. discusses the ways to get promoted in a company
C. talks about the business career of Arthur Miller
D. focuses on the skills in doing business
B. He runs the Wagner Company.
C. He is a victim of the American system.
D. He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.
B. won the first Tony Award
C. was warmly welcomed by salesmen
D. was severely attacked by dramatists
B. The awards Arthur Miller won.
C. The hardship Arthur Miller experienced
D. Arthur Miller and his best-known play.
actress who began her career as a mature(成熟的) child actress.
Jodie began her performing career as a very young child in television, appearing first in commercials
(商业广告). She starred in her own short-lived series, Paper Moon (1974), based on the 1973 film of
the same name. She appeared in a number of Disney films, beginning with Napoleon and Samantha (1972).
Director Martin Scorsese cast Jodie in a bit part in Alice Doesn"t live Here Anymore (1974) before
giving her the role of Iris in Taxi Driver (1976). Her mature performance in Taxi Driver earned her an
Academy Award nomination(提名) as best supporting actress. Her later films as child actress were less
impressive, but her performances were always admired. Jodie graduated from Yale University in 1985.
Perhaps because of her screen image of early maturity, Foster was abler to make a relatively smooth
transition to adult roles. In The Accused (1988), she gave a perfect performance as Sarah Tobias. In
The Silence of the Lames (1991), she tracks a killer as FBI agent Clarice Starling. Both performances
won her Academy Awards as best actress.
In 1990s, Jodie went into other areas of filmmaking. She directed her best film, Little Man Tate, in
1991,in which she also co-starred. In 1994, she co-produced Nell, for which she also received an Oscar
nomination for best actress. In 1997, Foster starred in Contact. Her later films included Panic Room (2002), Inside Man (2006), and The Brave One (2007).

F . Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24,1896, an American novelist, was once a student
of St.Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton. University for a short while.
In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda
Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary:" My own happiness in
the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to
walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary."
This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success,
Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the
Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922),
and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby,
published in 1925, which quick brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give
him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories
All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald"s problems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing. During the
1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and
went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934

yping course so when this show business thing doesn"t work out,you"ll have something to rely on."
Mary responded in typical teenage fashion.From that moment on,"the very last thing I ever
thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.
The show business thing worked out,of course.In her career,Mary won many awards.Only
recently,when she began to write Growing Up Again,did she regret ignoring her mom," I don"t
know how to use a computer," she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography,After All, her second book is less about life as an award
winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病).All the money from the book is
intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF),an organization she serves as
international chairman."I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says." I didn"t want to
lecture,but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we"re self?controlled
and do our part in managing the disease."
But she hasn"t always practiced what she teaches.In her book,she describes that awful day,
almost 40 years ago,when she received two pieces of life changing news.First,she had lost the
baby she was carrying,and second,tests showed that she had diabetes.In a childlike act,she left
the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈).Years would pass before she
realized she had to grow up again-and take control of her diabetes,not let it control her.Only
then did she kick her three pack a day cigarette habit,overcome her addiction to alcohol,and
begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance
floor,she refuses to fall into self pity."Everybody on earth can ask,"why me" about something
or other," she insists."It doesn"t do any good.No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache,pain,
and disappointments.Sometimes we can make things better by helping others.I"ve come to
realize the importance of that as I"ve grown up this second time.I want to speak out and be as
helpful as I can be."
