At 7 pm on a dark, cold November evening, thousands of people are making their way across a vast car park They're not here to see a film, or the ballet, or even the circus They are all here for what is, bizarrely, a global phenomenon: they are here to see Holiday on Ice Given that most people don’t seem

to be acquainted with anyone who's ever been, the show's statistics are extraordinary: nearly 300 million people have seen Holiday on Ice since it began in 1943; it is the most popular live entertainment in the world

But what does the production involve? And why are so many people prepared to spend their lives travelling round Europe in caravans in order to appear in it? It can't be glamorous, and it's undoubtedly hard work The backstage atmosphere is an odd mix of gym class and workplace A curtained-off section

at the back of the arena is laughably referred to as the girls' dressing room, but is more accurately described as a corridor, with beige, cracked walls and cheap temporary tables set up along the length of it Each girl has a small area littered with pots of orange make-up, tubes of mascara and long false eyelashes

As a place to work, it must rank pretty low down the scale: the area round the ice-rink is grey and mucky with rows of dirty blue and brown plastic seating and red carpet tiles It's an unimpressive picture, but the show itself is an unquestionably vast, polished global enterprise: the lights come from a firm in Texas, the people who make the audio system are in California, but Montreal supplies the smoke effects; former British Olympic skater Robin Cousins is now creative director for the company and conducts a vast master class to make sure they're ready for the show's next performance

The next day, as the music blares out from the sound system, the case start to go through their

routines under Cousins' direction Cousins says, 'The aim is to make sure they're all still getting to exactly the right place on the ice at the right time - largely because the banks of lights in the ceiling are set to those places, and if the skaters are all half a metre out they'll be illuminating empty ice Our challenge, '

he continues, 'is to produce something they can sell in a number of countries at the same time My theory

is that you take those things that people want to see and you give it to them, but not in the way they expect to see it You try to twist it And you have to find music that is challenging to the skaters, because they have to do it every night.'

It may be a job which he took to pay the rent, but you can’t doubt his enthusiasm 'They only place

you'll see certain skating moves is an ice show,' he says, 'because you're not allowed to do them in

competition It's not in the rules So the ice show word has things to offer which the competitive world just doesn't Cousins knows what he's talking about because he skated for the show himself when he stopped competing - he was financially unable to retire He learnt the hard way that you can't put on an Olympic performance every night I'd be thinking, these people have paid their money, now do your stuff, and I suddenly thought, "I really can't cope I'm not enjoying it".' The solution, he realized, was to give 75 per cent every night, rather than striving for the sort of twice-a-year excellence which won him medals

To be honest, for those of us whose only experience of ice-skating is watching top-class Olympic skaters, some of the movements can look a bit amateurish, but then, who are we to judge? Equally, it's impossible not to be swept up in the whole thing; well, you'd have to try pretty hard not to enjoy it

correct answer to each of the questions

Before the 1500’s, the western plains of North America were dominated by farmers One group, the Mandans, lived in the upper Missouri River country, primarily in present – day North Dakota They had

large villages of houses built close together The tight arrangement enabled the Mandans to protect

themselves more easily from the attacks of others who might seek to obtain some of the food these highly capable farmers stored from one year to the next

The women had primary responsibility for the fields They had to exercise considerable skill to produce the desired results, for their northern location meant fleeting growing seasons Winter often lingered; autumn could be ushered in by severe frost For good measure, during the spring and summer, drought, heat, hail, grasshoppers, and other frustrations might await the wary grower

Under such conditions, Mandan women had to grow maize capable of weathering adversity They began as early as it appeared feasible to do so in the spring, clearing the land, using fire to clear stubble from the fields and then planting From this point until the first green corn could be harvested, the crop required labor and vigilance

Harvesting proceeded in two stages In August the Mandans picked a smaller amount of the crop before it had matured fully This green corn was boiled, dried and shelled, with some of the maize slated

for immediate consumption and the rest stored in animal – skin bags Later in the fall, the people picked

the rest of the corn They saved the best of the harvest for seeds or for trade, with the remainder eaten right away or stored for alter use in underground reserves With appropriate banking of the extra food, the

Mandans protected themselves against the disaster of crop failure and accompany hunger.

The woman planted another staple, squash, about the first of June, and harvested it near the time of the green corn harvest After they picked it, they sliced it, dried it, and strung the slices before they stored

them Once again, they saved the seeds from the best of the year’s crop The Mandans also grew

sunflowers and tobacco; the latter was the particular task of the older men

The National Automobile Show in New York has been one of the top auto shows in the United States since 1900 On November 3 of that year, about 8,000 people looked over the “horseless carriages.”

It was the opening day and the first opportunity for the automobile industry to show off its wares to a large crowd; however, the black-tie audience treated the occasion more as a social affair than as a sales extravaganza It was also on the first day of this show that William McKinley became the first U.S president to ride in a car

The automobile was not invented in the United States That distinction belongs to Germany Nikolaus Otto built the first practical internal-combustion engine there in 1876 Then, German engineer Karl Benz built what are regarded as the first modern automobiles in the mid-1880s But the United States pioneered the merchandising of the automobile The auto show proved to be an effective means of getting the public excited about automotive products

By happenstance, the number of people at the first New York show equaled the entire car

population of the United States at that time In 1900, 10 million bicycles and an unknown number of horse-drawn carriages provided the prime means of personal transportation Only about 4,000 cars were assembled in the United States in 1900, and only a quarter of those were gasoline powered The rest ran

American auto industry in 1895, offered a fragrant additive designed to mask the smells of the naphtha

that it burned Many of the 1900 models were cumbersome—the Gasmobile, the Franklin, and the Orient, for example, steered with a tiller like a boat instead of with a steering wheel None of them was equipped with an automatic starter

These early model cars were practically handmade and were not very dependable They were basically toys of the well-to-do In fact, Woodrow Wilson, then a professor at Princeton University and later President of the United States, predicted that automobiles would cause conflict between the wealthy and the poor However, among the exhibitors at the 1900 show was a young engineer named Henry Ford But before the end of the decade, he would revolutionize the automobile industry with his Model T Ford The Model T, first produced in 1909, featured a standardized design and a streamlined method of production—the assembly line Its lower costs made it available to the mass market

Cars at the 1900 show ranged in price from $1,000 to $1,500, or roughly $14,000 to $21,000 in today’s prices By 1913, the Model T was selling for less than $300, and soon the price would drop even further “I will build cars for the multitudes,” Ford said, and he kept his promise

Question 6: The passage implies that the audience viewed the 1900 National Automobile Show

primarily as a(n) _

A formal social occasion.

B chance to buy automobiles at low prices.

C opportunity to learn how to drive.

D chance to invest in one of thirty-two automobile manufacturers.

Question 7: According to the passage, who developed the first modern car?

A Karl Benz B Nikolaus Otto C William McKinley D Henry Ford

Question 8: Approximately how many cars were there in the United States in 1900?

A 4,000 B 8,000 C 10 million D An unknown number

Question 9: The phrase “by happenstance ” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .

A Generally B For example C Coincidentally D By design

Question 10: Approximately how many of the cars assembled in the year 1900 were gasoline powered?

Question 12: The purpose of the “additive” mentioned in paragraph 4 was to _.

Line Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture, or anything

else that is included in one’s possessions Other forms of property can be intangible, and copyright deals with intangible forms of property Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of creative works, for example, books, magazine articles, maps, films, plays, television shows,

5 software, paintings, photographs, music, choreography in dance, and all other forms of intellectual

10 and the writing that went into creating the articles The right to make and sell or give away copies

Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property Music may be

15 played by anyone after it is published However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to

pay a fee, called a royalty A similar principle applies to performances of songs and plays On the other hand, names, ideas, and book titles are excepted Ideas do not become copyrighted property until they are published in a book, a painting, or a musical work Almost all artistic work created before the 20th century is not copyrighted because it was created before the copyright law was

20 passed.

The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy Plagiarizing the work of another person means passing it off as one's own The word plagiarism is derived from the Latin plagiarus, which means “abductor." Piracy may be an a a of one person but, in many cases, it is a joint effort of several people who reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for profit without

25 paying royalties to the creator Technological innovations have made piracy easy, and anyone can

duplicate a motion picture on videotape, a computer program, or a book Video cassette recorders can be

Line For many people, mushrooms are strange, colorless, incomprehensible plants that should be

avoided Quaint tales and scary stories surround mushrooms because some are extremely

poisonous In reality, however, mushrooms are fungi that are simple plants without developed

roots, leaves, stems, flowers, or seeds They grow in wetlands, grassy meadows, and woods Certain types of mushrooms

5 are delicious and are included as ingredients in many recipes and trendy snacks For example, morels are considered one of the choicest foods, and truffles, related to morels, are highly prized in

Europe Their shape is tubelike, and they remain entirely underground, a foot or more below the surface In the old days, dogs and pigs were specially trained to hunt them by scent.

Mushrooms stand out among other plants because they have no chlorophyll and cannot generate

10 their own nourishment The part of the fungus that rises above the ground is the fruiting body, and

the vegetative part that produces growth is hidden under the ground It can be usually dug up in the form of dense, white tangled filaments, which, depending on the food supply and moisture, can live for hundreds of years In fact, mushrooms, as well as the rest of the fungus genus species, are one

of the few remaining simple plants that are believed to be among the oldest living organisms When their

15 environment is not conducive to growth, filaments stop proliferating and can lie dormant for dozens

of years

Although mushrooms are rich in flavor and texture, they have little food value Picking mushrooms requires a thorough knowledge of environments where they are most likely to grow and an ability to tell between edible and poisonous plants Most mushrooms thrive in temperatures from 68° to 86° (F)

20 with plenty of moisture, and nearly complete darkness produces the best crop The entire mushroom

should be picked, the stem, the cap, and whatever part that is underground Brightly colored mushroom caps usually indicate that the plant is not fit for consumption, and the more the mushroom attracts attention, the more poisonous it is Mushrooms with beautiful red or orange spotted caps that grow under large trees after a good rain are particularly poisonous If milky or white juices seep from a break in the body of plant, chances are it should not be picked Old mushrooms with brown caps are also not very safe

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following questions.

Question 1: Although they reflect a strong social conscience, Arthur Miller’s stage works are

produce characteristics that we associate with aging Following a different vein, many current researchers are looking for evidence at the cellular and sub cellular level It has been shown that cells such as human fibroblasts (generalized tissue cells) grown in culture divide only a limited number of times and then die

Only cancer cells seem immortal in this respect Fibroblast cells from an embryo divide more times than those taken from an adult Thus some researchers believe that aging occurs at the cellular level and is part

of the cell's genetic makeup Any event that disturbs the cell's genetic machinery such as mutation, damaging chemicals in the cell's environment, or loss of genetic material, could cause cells to lose their ability to divide and thus bring on aging Other theories of aging look at different processes

Chronological aging refers to the passage of time since birth and is usually measured in years While chronological age can be useful in estimating the average status of a large group of people, it is a poor indicator of an individual person's status because there is a tremendous amount of variation from one individual to the next in regard to the rate at which biological age changes occur For example, on the average, aging results in people losing much of their ability to perform strenuous activities, yet some elderly individuals are excellent marathon runners

Another type of aging is cosmetic aging, which consists of changes in outward appearance with advancing age This includes changes in the body and changes in other aspects of a person's appearance, such as the style of hair and clothing, the type of eyeglasses, and the use of a hearing aid Like chronological aging, it is frequently used to estimate the degree to which other types of aging have occurred However, it is an inaccurate indicator for either purpose because of variation among individuals and because a person's appearance is affected by many factors that are not part of aging, including illness, poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight

Question 6: The author believes the theories of aging are _.

A well-supported hypotheses B poorly supported hypotheses

Question 7: In paragraph 1, the word "evidence" refers to _.

C evidence of human fibroblasts D evidence of cell division

Question 8: The word "vein" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

A part of the body B point of view C blood vessel D cellular level

C divide more in adults than in embryos D bring on aging

Question 10: The word "culture" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

C a special environment D a toxic substance

Question 11: It can be inferred from the passage that fibroblast cells

A disfunction in the aging process of the body's immune system

B are not a focus in cellular research on aging

C are similar to cancer cells in rate of division

D divide fewer times at later stages in human life

Question 12: As explained in this passage, the theory of aging which examines the cellular level would NOT assign which of the following as a cause of aging?

C Loss of genetic material D Chemical damage from the environment

Question 13: According to the passage, chronological aging is not a good indicator of an individual's status regarding aging because

A elderly people are often athletic

B there is individual variation in the rate of biological aging

C strenuous activities are not good measures of age

D it is difficult to get accurate records of birth dates

Question 14: The author implies all of the following about cosmetic aging EXCEPT _

A It does not occur at the same rate for all people

B It is a poor indicator of chronological age

C Illness, poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight cause aging to occur

D It is described by changes in outward appearance

Question 15: This article can be extracted from .
