difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left
home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I
was quite wrong. The man wouldn"t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth- so I
decided that my approach must be wrong. I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the
chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" "Twenty pounds," I
said. "OK,"he said. "l"ll give you twenty pounds." "It"s got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that.
It"s nothing."
Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I
asked. "Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. " "I"ll buy it," I said. "What do you mean?
You"ve just sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know but I"ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I"ll give you
twenty-seven pounds for it." " You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I
know what you want. You want me to repair your chair."
"You"re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, "Would you
mend this chair for me?"" "I wouldn"t have agreed to do it," he said. "We don"t do repairs, not enough
money in it and too much trouble. But l"ll mend this for you. Shall we say for a fiver?" He was a very
nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

movie cartoon ever made. The film remains popular today. Snow White was followed by a number of other
cartoon films, including Pinocchio, Fantasia and Bambi.
In 1950, Disney"s company began to make non-cartoon films of the best novels in the world for young
people. The company became not only one of the main producers of films but also a publisher (出版商) of
books for children.
In 1955, Disney opened a large amusement park called Disneyland in Los Angeles. Very quickly the park
became an attractive place for both men and women, young and old.
Disney died in 1966. He didn"t live to see the opening of another Disney amusement park. The new park,
opened in Florida in 1971, is called Walt Disney World. It is even larger than Disneyland and has become one
of the world"s most popular holiday places.
In both of the parks, visitors can ride, walk, or boat as they like. There is fairyland (仙境), where you can
meet the characters from fairy tales and Disney"s cartoons and films. If you want something more exciting,
you may experience your own adventures (冒险).
Since its opening, Disney World has been made larger and larger. It is made up of several wonderful and
magic parts. Besides, Disney amusement parks have been built in other parts of the world. Tokyo Disneyland,
for example, was opened to public in 1983.

it, in front of an audience of millions at CCTV"s Spring Festival Gala. Liu"s magic tricks have made the
centuries-old art of magic fashionable once again, and made him the hottest magician in China.
As a seasoned young magician from Taiwan, Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he
has performed in include the United States, Japan, South Korea and the UK Witnessing something impossible
happen right before your eyes is the root of people"s love for magic.
Liu is known for his interaction with his audiences. He has a unique understanding of showmanship (演出
技巧).
"It"s actually thinking rather than one"s manipulation (操作) skills that is more important to achieving a
successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively to make them appear
more interesting." Liu said.
Liu Qian"s success dated back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan, he found himself attracted to a
magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12, he won Taiwan"s Youth Magic Contest,
which was judged by the great American magician, David Copperfield.
Yet, Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university
and only hoped to be an amateur (业余的) magician in his spare time. However, his failure to find a proper job
after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.
To refine his performing skills, he has performed on streets, roads and fields, for passersby, policemen and
farmers.

tough crowds," Liu said.

face and a sweet smile. However, there is something about her that makes her very special: her voice. No
one else can sing like her. Now, Sun is a bright star. She has released many albums (专辑).
Sun was born in Singapore. When she was a child, her father told her: "A person should always be good
at something in life, so they have something to do for a hobby." Sun chose to learn to play the piano when
she was only five. Then, she took up kick-boxing (搏击操) because she felt she was thin and wanted to
make herself stronger.
She often sings about the pain and happiness of growing up. The simple but true feelings in her music
are loved by teens. "Sun may be a star, but she seems like a normal girl. She is close to us," said Zhu Liying,
15, a Beijing student. "Her songs give me courage."
Eventually, the star was tired because she had worked so hard. She stopped singing for a while and had
a one-year holiday to travel. "I won"t give up singing. I just want a rest and to try something new. I hope to
make better music when I come back," Sun said then.

when John was six. He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.
Fortunately (幸运地) he had a strong-willed, caring mother. John remembers that his mother told him
many times, "Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe." She told him not to be
dependent on others, including his mother. "You have to earn success," said she. "All the people who work
hard don"t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard."
These words came from a woman with less than a third-grade education.She worked hard as a cook for
two years to save enough money to take her son-then 15-to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land (乐土) that black southerners were looking for. John"s
mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power
of words-as an editor (编辑) of the newspaper at Du Sable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine
for the blacks.
While others discouraged him, John"s mother offered him more words to live by: "Nothing beats a failure
but a try." She also let him pawn (典当) her furniture to get the $500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.
It is natural the difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always
keeps his mother"s words in mind: "Son, failure is not in your vocabulary." Now John H. Johnson is one of
the 400 richest people in America.
B. life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometown, while life in Chicago would be better for them
Negroes
C. there were no schools in their hometown
D. John needed more education and he could go to high school there
B.The mental (精神的) support from a great mother
C.The importance of a good education
D.The key to success for blacks

$30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only
20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA.
At her young age, she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life. This year is a big year for
Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front
of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It"s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she
goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生观) is to take
care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.
Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into
the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in"Austin Power 3" this year and she is
filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.
For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (热心的) about it all. If her
movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it
for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters.
B. around 20
C. in their 30s
D. in their 40s

B. for the enjoyment
C. for money
D. to be more famous
