         Arthur Miller (1915-2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists(剧作家) of the
    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.
         Millers' s most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence(执着) on money and social status(身份) as indicators(指数) 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: 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 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.
    1. What can we learn about Willy Loman?
    A. He treats his employer badly.          
    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.
    2. After it was first staged, Death of a Salesman         .
    A. achieved huge success            
    B. won the first Tony Award
    C. was warmly welcomed by salesmen
    D. was severely attacked by dramatists
    3. Why did Arthur Miller's father move to the USA?
    A. He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.
    B. He was attracted by the "Great American Dream.
    C. He hoped to make his son a dramatist.      
    D. His family business failed.
    4. The play Death of a Salesman          .
    A. exposes the cruelty of the American business world      
    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
    5. What is the text mainly about?
    A. Arthur Miller and his family.          
    B. The awards Arthur Miller won.
    C. The hardship Arthur Miller experienced.  
    D. Arthur Miller and his best-known play.

    To all of you at Chinese love links,
    I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.
    I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don't know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.
    Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicated via e - mails 2 - 3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.
    I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and to bring her to the USA under the fiance visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.
    So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you're not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.
    Sincerely yours,
    Arthur

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项

    Sydney is Australia’s most exciting city. The history of Australia begins here. In 1788 Captain Arthur Phillips arrived is Sydney with 11 ships and 1,024 passengers (including 770 prisoners) from Britain. Today there are 2.5 million people in Sydney. It is the biggest city in Australia, and one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

    Some Americans think it is very British. Some British visitors think it is like America.
