When Johnson called again, the manager received him very politely．“That is a most remarkable oil you brought us, Mr．Johnson,” he said．Johnson nodded his smooth, dark head．That was something he knew very well．“I've never seen anything like it,” the manager admitted．Johnson nodded again．“No?” he said politely．Then he added, “But I think you will, sir．A very great deal of it．” He appeared to think for a moment．“I think you will find it will be on sale seven, perhaps, eight years from now．” He smiled．
The manager thought that was uncertain．He said, “It is better than our fish oils．I admit that．” “So I am told, sir,” agreed Johnson．
“Have you any plans to produce it yourself, Mr．Johnson?” Johnson smiled again．
“Would I be showing it to you if I had?”
“We might add some chemicals to one of our own fish oils,” said the manager．“It would be expensive to do that, even if you could,” Johnson said gently．“Besides,” he added, “I am told that this oil will be much cheaper than your best fish oils．Cheaper than any vegetable oil, in fact．”
“Perhaps,” said the manager．“Well, I suppose you want to make an arrangement, Mr．Johnson．Shall we discuss it?”
“Of course,” said Johnson．“There are two ways of dealing with a situation of this sort．The usual one is to prevent it altogether or at least to delay it as long as possible．That is, of course, the best way．” The manager nodded．He knew plenty about all that．
“But I am so sorry for you, because, you see, that is not possible this time．” The manager had his doubts, but all he said was an inquiring (询问), “Oh?”
“The other way,” continued Johnson, “is to produce yourself before the trouble starts．”

B
Although man has known asbestos for many hundreds of years, it was not until 160 years ago that it was mined for the first time on the North American continent. H. W. Johns, owner of a New York City Supply Shop for roofers, was responsible for he opening of that first mine.
Mr. Johns was given a piece of asbestos which had been found in Italy. He experimented with the material and then showed its surprising powers to his customers. After putting on a pair of asbestos gloves, which looked much like ordinary work gloves, he took red-hot coals from the fireplace and played with them in his hands. How astonished the customers were to discover that he was not burned at all. You can well imagine that he had increasing business in asbestos roofing materials. However, because it was very expensive to transport them from Italy to the United States, Mr. Johns sent out a young scientist to seek a source nearer home. This young man found great vein in the province of Quebec in Canada.
Ever since 1881 Quebec has led the world in the production of this unusual mineral, which is made up of magnesium, silicon, iron, and oxygen. When it is mined, the asbestos is heavy, just as you would expect a mineral to be. When it is separated, a strange thing happens; the rock breaks down into fine, soft, soapy fibers .
Scientists do not know why the rock can be separated easily into threads,but they have found thousands of uses of this fireproof material, of the so-called “cloth of stone”.

A. Asbestos mined in Canada B. Fireproof matter
C. A “wonder” mineral D. A new roofing material
61. Johns proved his ability as a salesman by_______.
A. going into roofing business
B. carrying asbestos from Italy
C. sending a trained scientist
D. showing the use of asbestos gloves

C. It burns easily. D. It is unusually heavy.
63. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage was to _______.
A. show the need for more scientists
