You need to be of a certain age to understand why so many people in Hollywood are caring about the possible closing down of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (米高梅电影公司)．For the past 40 years, its output has been good, but now it is on the ropes, with debts of $ 3.7 billion and will have to sell off its most valuable assets.

In its golden time, MGM stood for something．If Warner Brothers meant social dramas and gangster movies, and Disney meant cartoon films, then MGM was healthy fantasy．This business model found its most glorious expression in its musicals of the post-war era．It also featured such many famous stars as Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly and Judy Garland.

But MGM had always put its hopes on the quality of stars it could attract．From the time MGM became a company in 1924, the studio and his associate proved themselves good at creating big names.

For 35 years, this worked well enough, but the growing power of television disturbed Hollywood．MGM continued to throw money into making gorgeous-looking musicals, but despite some big successes audiences gradually started to drift away．Throughout the sixties, MGM's decline set in．Things went from bad to worse．In 1973, MGM stopped distributing its own films．Since then, the Lion's roar has been reduced to a whimper (呜咽).

How far MGM has fallen can be shown by its recent releases．This was a studio that for years offered a reliable supply of first-class films．Yet last year its total output was three．To make it worse, all were co-produced with other studios．And this year? Only one so far, and maybe the last.

What now? MGM will probably be sold, though recent buyers have been cautious about a price thought to be around $ 2 billion.

1.MGM is becoming the focus in Hollywood because it _______．

A. has more supporters        B. has produced good films

C. might be closed down      D. has lost all its assets

2.What can we learn about MGM from the text?

A. It has been sold out for around $ 2 billion.

B. The Internet was a factor causing its decline.

C. It only produced three films by itself last year.

D. It made a wrong decision for its development.

3.What's the main idea of the text?

A. The past glories of MGM．      B. The musicals made by MGM.

C. The decline of MGM．      D. A historical decision by MGM

Why should most of us hate spiders when we know deeply how much good they do? Is it because they somehow seem so alien? After all, what other land creatures on earth have eight legs? What other creatures spin silk webs in which to catch and wrap their prey to preserve it for the future, much as we put food in the fridge to eat later? I do not personally suffer from arachnophobia, the name given to an abnormal fear of spiders, but I can't say that I like the little beasts. However, some people do, and they actually keep them as pets!

There is a wide variety of spiders in the world. In fact it has been estimated that there are some 35,000 species——from little "money spiders" that live in your back garden, to the "black widow spider", and the “tarantula” ，the spider that is now sometimes kept as a pet.

A tarantula can be any one of a large hairy spiders family and there are about 800 species of them. While experts can tell the difference between species at a glance, most are usually described in reference books as “rather slowly" with “a strong bite which may be poisonous”. They are covered with hairs which can cause a rash （皮疹）if they are handled.

No one has calculated the number of human deaths caused by a bite from a tarantula perhaps because it has never happened, or happened so rarely, and indeed a tarantula will do no harm to anyone if handled correctly. Their disgusting image cannot belie their gentle nature but experts tell us not to handle a tarantula without expert advice.

Tarantulas are popular as pets and it requires very little space to maintain them in excellent condition. They should be kept singly in a glass container, which need not be very large but should have a layer of stones in the bottom. They feed on insects, and while young tarantulas eat twice a week, adults will often eat no more than once every 10 days.

You might like the idea of keeping a tarantula, but personally I am content with just watching them at a distance.

1.According to the text, why do most people dislike spiders?

A.They are abnormal beasts.

B.They take food from fridges.

C.They have unpleasant appearance.

D.They make people suffer from arachnophobia.

2.What do we know about the tarantula?

A.It must be kept in groups.

B.It feeds on poisonous insects.

C.It doesn't belong to hairy spiders.

D.It has mild nature if handled properly.

3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.The death caused by a tarantula.

B.The number of human deaths.

C.The bite from a tarantula.

D.The rash caused by hairs.

4.What's the best title for the text?

A.Never judge a book by its cover.

B.Nothing seek, nothing find.

C.No sweet without sweat.

D.Once bitten, twice shy.
