    A few years ago, I moved into a new house in Los Angeles. Soon after, a family moved in next door. It wasn’t the best of times for me. I had just divorced(离婚) from my second wife, and I wasn’t working. I’d come home each day and sit by myself in the backyard. One night, I heard someone from the yard next door, “Tom ! How are you, Tom? ” 
    I couldn’t see anybody through the trees, but I answered, “I’ m good.”
    “Good!” said the voice.
    “What’s your name?” I asked.
    “Eric.” Then I heard someone say, “Eric, don’t bother him.”
    “Okay!” Eric said. “Talk to you tomorrow!”                                                                           
    Months later, on Halloween, we finally met face to face. Eric came to the door dressed like a rap star. We became friends. We’d hang out in our yards, and Eric, who was almost 17 at the time and look liked a 13-year-old, would tell me his ideas and dreams. Eric’s dad, Alec Gores, is a billionaire(亿万富翁), the head of Gores Technology Group.
    One day, Alec called me and said, “I know you are an actor. My son’s an actor, too. And he’s very good. I want you to write a movie for him. He wants to do something like True lies.” That’s the movie I made in 1994. His father has given Eric the great gif of confidence. He believes he can do anything he wants. He also offered to fund the movie. And that’s how The Kid & I, which opens in November, began.
    Well, I really have to say that opportunity(机会)lies anywhere.

    Arthur Miller (1915—2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists 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 1930s.
    Miller'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 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 this system. 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 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.
    小题1: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
    小题2: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
    小题3: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.
    小题4: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
    小题5:What is the text mainly about?

    I was in a strange city I didn’t know at all, and what’s more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.   
    小题1:From the story we know that the policeman______.  
    A．was kind but didn’t understand the writer?
    B．told the writer where to take a train
    C．knew what the writer really meant
    D．was cold-hearted and didn’t help the writer
    小题2:What can we learn from the last paragraph?  
    A．The writer got close to the hotel where he stayed.?
    B．The writer got to the hotel with the policeman’s help.?
    C．The writer found he was much farther away from the hotel.?
    D．The writer found the hotel in the direction the policeman pointed.
    小题3:In your opinion, what was the writer’s real trouble?  
    A．He didn’t know the city at all.
    B．He couldn’t speak the language.?
    C．He went too far in the wrong bus.
    D．He followed the policeman’s direction.

    Imagine landing in a foreign country where you cannot speak the language, understand the culture and don’t know anybody. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a friend who could help you out?
    John Smith, an English explorer who landed in America in 1607, found the best friend ever. She was a Native American named Pocahontas (1595-1617). And she did more than teach Smith the language: she saved his life, twice.
    Smith was captured(捕捉) by members of Pocahontas’s tribe(部落) and was going to be killed. But for some reason, the Chief’s daughter, Pocahontas, felt sorry for Smith (who was probably the first white man she had ever seen) and threw her body over his to protect him. Smith returned safely to the small village he was living in. During the winter the English settlers did not know how to get food from nature. Pocahontas often brought food for Smith and his friends.
    A year later Pocahontas’s father tried to kill Smith again because the Native Americans were very scared the English would try to take over their land. Pocahontas warned him and he was able to escape. Later she became a Christian and eventually married an Englishman named John Rolfe. She spent the last year of her life in London. Pocahontas has become an American legend. Her life story has been re-created in many books and films, including Disney’s 1995 film, Pocahontas.
    One of the reasons she is so popular is that many Europeans look at Pocahontas as an excellent example of how a minority can adjust into the majority. Pocahontas is also respected because of her selfless love. She proved that people can be kind and loving even to people of a different race or culture. John Smith was very different from Pocahontas but she could see he was a good man and that was all that mattered. No race or country owns goodness, love and loyalty.
    小题1: What difficulties might early European settlers meet in America EXCEPT ___________?
    A．the fierce conflict with Native Americans
    B．lack of food in winter
    C．bad-tempered natives who enjoyed killing
    D．unfamiliarity with a foreign land
    小题2: Pocahontas saved John Smith twice because ___________.
    A．she believed in general kindness even to people of a different race
    B．she wanted to become a Christian and marry an English
    C．he was the first white man she had ever seen in her life
    D．she was on the settlers’ side and against her cruel father
    小题3:Which is Not an element to make Pocahontas a legend?
    A．Her tribal background and her marriage to a white settler.
    B．The recreation of her life story in the 1995 Disney film.
    C．Her complicated life story different from common people’s
    D．Her selfless help to people regarded as enemy of her tribe.
    小题4:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．People from different cultures can never really get along well with each other.
    B．The Europeans think the early settlers should have learned to adjust to the local cultures.
    C．The creation of America is based on the settlers’ victory over the Native Americans.
    D．The battles between early settlers and Native Americans resulted from their fighting for land.
