Mark Twain is a name not usually connected with Broadway(百老汇), but now his play “Is He Dead” will receive its first public performance on November 29.

“Is He Dead” was written by Mark Twain in 1898 but was never performed. It was rediscovered in 2002 by Shelley Fisher Fishkin, an English professor and director of the American Studies Program at Stanford University. It was published the following year by the University of California Press.

The story is about a group of poor artists who fake the death of their friend in order to increase the value of his work.

“Is He Dead” is set in France in the 1840s and centers on the French painter Jean-Francois Millet. “Millet was probably the most popular European painter in the United States in Twain’s lifetime,” Fishkin said in a telephone interview. “Americans greatly admired him because he focused on the life of the common man and the common woman.”

According to Fishkin, “Is He Dead” is a satire(讽刺) about how value is created in the art world. Twain wrote the play when he was coming out of the hardest time of his life.

1.What’s “Is He Dead” about?

A.The death of a poor artist in the 1840s.

B.A trick played by a group of poor artists.

C.A story about the French painter Jean-Francois Millet.

2.From the second paragraph we learn that ______.

A.the play was one of Mark Twain’s early works

B.no one knew the play until 2002

C.Fishkin is an expert on Mark Twain’s works

A.he was a famous French painter at that time

B.he focused on the life of ordinary Americans

Islamabad, Pakistan, June 22nd---Two mountain climbers surprisingly survived (幸免于) a fall of over 500 feet on the 25,530-foot mountain in Pakistan, Saturday. The two climbers were climbing an ice-covered wall of the mountain when they suddenly lost their footing and fell about 560 feet to a narrow snow-covered ledge(悬崖突出部分) below. “We were lucky that ledge was there,” said the climbers, “Otherwise, we would have fallen over 2,000 feet.” If the ledge had not been there, the two climbers almost certainly have met their death. “It’s a wonder,” the climbers said, “that we landed on the ledge, and the snow was loose enough to cushion(缓冲) our fall. We’re thankful that we survived.”

When a reporter asked them if they planned to give up mountain climbing after their narrow escape(九死一生), the two climbers replied, “Not at all. We’ll be going back up there just as soon as we get out of the hospital.”

1. The mountain climbers survived because _____.

The gray-haired lady can’t wait to leave the building to search for her dad .Unless watched, she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30years ago.

  Not all cases of Alzheimer’s disease look like this ,but Alzheimer’s is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.

  It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer’s .In the early stages, people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy to be angry .As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.

  While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain’s nerve fibers (神经纤维),their effect is certain .Alzheimer’s destroys not only the patients ,but also spouses(配偶),friends and families.

  What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

  Though many reasons other than Alzheimer’s disease may cause memory loss ,its early diagnosis(诊断)and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.

   What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer’s disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn’t remember you are married.

  Life for the Alzheimer’s patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them.

1.What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired day?

    A.She has been living with her father.

 B.She was sad about the death of her father.

    C.She can’t search for her father without being watched.

    D.She suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.

2.When people suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, ________.

 A.their families and friends will suffer from the same disease

    B.their families and friends will experience mental sufferings

    C.they will certainly die in 8 to 10 years

    D.they will forget everybody but their spouses

3.Memory loss occurs ________.

    A.from Alzheimer’s disease and nothing else

 B.from sadness ,shock ,anger ,and so on

    C.for a number of reasons

    D.with changes in personality

4.From the passage we know that_____.

 A.early treatment may stop Alzheimer’s disease occurring

    B.it is still unknown what causes the changes in the brain’s nerve fibers

    C.nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimer’s disease

 D.when one suffers from Alzheimer’s disease ,he will be buried

Death Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.

Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared(宣告)a National Monument(纪念碑)and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.

Here nature created a lot of surprise, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent(频繁的)wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most surprising and variable(多变的)parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕)stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.

A. Tomesha     B. Death Valley     C. Nevada       D. Badwater

2... The present name of the valley comes from _______.

3... From the passage we can learn that _______.

A. no one had ever known the desert before the miners

B. it’s still not easy to travel across the desert

C. people can find gas-stations, cafes and hotels in the desert

D. people have changed the natural sight of the desert
