Wanting his audience to feel a roller coaster of emotions, Neil Simon used his own personal experiences of family pain and sorrow to make light of the banalities（陈词滥调）of human existence.

It was this fine ability to dig his audiences' consciousness that brought him big success. With crowds turning up in groups, in 1966, Simon had four plays running on Broadway at the same time. By 1983, he was named the most notable comedy writer in the English language.

He grew up in a household filled with conflict, often caused by his quarrelsome parents' on-off relationship. When he was seven, Simon began writing comedy as a way of blocking out the “really ugly painful things in my childhood" and through the medium of laughter he escaped the heavy atmosphere at home. Often visiting the cinema, Simon was amused and then inspired by watching Charlie Chaplin and Ernst Lubitsch movies, and with his elder brother Danny created comedy sketches.

Receiving a positive reception, he would go to the local library to read books on famous comedians to help him learn the tricks of the trade. He attended DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx and studied at New York University, before starting as a clerk at Warner Brothers.

Meanwhile, Simon continued to work on his own plays, developing Come Blow Your Horn which was a fictionalized version of his upbringing. It opened on Broadway in 1961 and enjoyed relative success.

His next play, Bare foot In The Park, was a comedic account of his marriage to Joan Baim. Convinced it would be a failure before it had even begun, Simon begged the producer to pull the play. However, to his disbelief, Barefoot In The Park proved to be a runaway success, became one of Broadway's longest-running plays and pushed him to Hollywood fame when it was made into a movie starring Jane Fonda and Robert Redford.

He received an incredible 16 Tony nominations（提名）and won the best play three times. He also earned four Oscar nominations, a Pulitzer Prize, the Mark Twain Prize and countless other honours.

1.What may Simon's audience be impressed by in his works?

A.The confusing plot and painful ending.

B.The ups and downs in mood.

C.The knowledgeable and experienced characters.

D.The fine ability to recognize valuable information.

2.What can we learn about Simon from paragraph 3?

A.He was born in a large family.

B.He had a very happy childhood.

C.He worked in a cinema with his elder brother.

D.His parents couldn't offer him a harmonious family atmosphere.

3.Why did Simon go to the local library?

A.To improve himself in creating comedies.

B.To learn how to run a company successfully.

C.To make friends with some famous comedians.

D.To find out more information about New York University.

4.What was Bare foot In The Park based on?

A.Simon's marriage to Joan Baim.

B.Simon's previous failure in a play.

C.A beggar's story in Broadway.

D.A movie starring Jane and Robert.

I read with interest a recent article on Galactocorp’s planned Shuttlejet flight later this year. I cannot imagine more stupid thing than this, so-called space tourism, and can’t help wondering what on earth humanity is coming to if this can be successful business.

Many may think that space travel is the highest human achievement, which may be the condition when scientific endeavor (努力) is the aim. However, when it comes to space tourism, think we may have found the top of human stupidity. Consider the high cost of getting into space, the billions of dollars wasted on building the Shuttlejet, and the many thousands spent by the passengers—and for what? So that forty fat cats can have a first-class meal along with six minutes of weightlessness, before returning to earth? Never before has so much money been spent for so little benefit (利益). I invite all space tourists to come around to my house. I can treat them to a big dinner and they can have jump on the trampoline (蹦床), and they’ll only need to pay me half the price of Galactocorp.

Further, the money can be used in a smarter way. Think of the many worthy causes that would benefit from the money that has been thrown away on this project already. There are many medical programs in those poor countries. A few hundred thousand dollars could make a big difference to the lives of thousands of people. The benefits would last far longer than six minutes.

Not only is the Shuttlejet a terrible waste of money, it’s also a terrible waste of resources (资源). Think about the materials required to build and the things required to drive the Shuttlejet. Do we really want to pollute the environment for such a pointless exercise and waste so much money for such a pointless exercise?

In a word, we all need to come back down to earth and forget this stupid dream of space tourism.

1.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text?

A.To ask for advice. B.To stop project.

C.To share his idea. D.To express his interest.

2.What offer does the author make in Paragraph 2?

A.Helping the fat cats lose weight.

B.Asking people to have fun in his house.

C.Providing a trampoline for space tourists.

D.Preparing first-class-meal for the forty cats.

3.What is the author’s main idea against space tourism?

A.It costs space tourists a lot of money.

B.It is just a scientific aim.

C.It is bad for the environment.

D.It causes a lot of waste in money and resources.

4.What does the author mean by saying“come back down to earth”in the last paragraph?

A.The project is unrealistic. B.The project is unscientific.

C.The money should be spent on earth. D.Space is nothing compared with earth.
