Sitting in a Los Ange
33、les witness box for four hours last week, the usually unflappable chairman of the Walt Disney Co. struggled to maintain his composure. Eisners protg turned nemesis. Jeffrey Katzenberg, his former employee, was seeking $ 500 million in his breach-of-contract suit against Disney, and Eisner was trying
34、 to defend hisand his companys integrity. At one point Eisner became flustered when Katzenbergs attorney, Bertram Fields, asked if he recalled telling his biographer, Tony Schwartz, “I think I hate the little midget.“ Later Eisner recalled that the same day, he had received a fax from Katzenberg mea
35、nt for Fields, thanking the lawyer for “managing“ a magazine story that praised Katzenberg at Eisners expense: “I said to Schwartz, Screw that. If he is going to play this disingenuous game I simply was not going to pay him his money.“ Last weeks revelations were the latest twist in a dispute that h
36、as entertained Hollywood and tarnished Disneys corporate image. The dash began five years ago, when Katzenberg quit Disney after a 10-year reign as studio chief, during which he oversaw production of such animated blockbusters as “The Lion King“. Disneys attorneys said that Katzenberg forfeited his
37、bonus2 percent of profits in perpetuity from all Disney movies, TV shows and stage productions from 1984 to 1994, as well as their sequels and tie-inswhen he left. The company ultimately paid Katzenberg a partial settlement of nearly $117 million, sources say. But talks broke down over how much Disn
38、ey owed, and the dispute landed in court. Industry insiders never expected that Disney would push it this far. The last Hollywood accounting dispute that aired in public was Art Buchwaldss lawsuit against Paramount for profits he claimed to be owed from the 1988 Eddie Murphy hit “Coming to America“.
39、 Paramount chose to fight Buchwald in courtonly to wind up paying him $1 million after embarrassing revelations about its business practices. After that, studios made a practice of quietly settling such claims. But Disney under Eisner would rather fight that settle. And he and Katzenberg are both pr
40、oud, combative types whose business disagreement deepened into personal animus. So far, Disneys imageas well as Eisnershas taken a beating. In his testimony last week Eisner repeatedly responded to questions by saying “I dont recall“ or “I dont know“. Katzenberg, by contrast, offered a stack of note
41、s and memos that appeared to bolster his claim. (The Disney executive who negotiated Katzenbergs deal, Frank Wells, died in a helicopter crash five years ago.) The trial has also offered a devastating glimpse into the Magic Kingdom s business dealings. Internal documents detail sensitive Disney fina
42、ncial information. One Hollywood lawyer calls a memo sent to Katzenberg from a former Disney top accountant “a road map to riches“ for writers, directors and producers eager to press cases against Disney. The company declined requests to comment on the case. The next phase of the trial could be even
43、 more embarrassing. As Katzenbergs profit participation is calculated, Eisner will have to argue that his animated treasures are far less valuable than Katzenberg claims. No matter how the judge rules, Disney will look like a loser. 58 At the end of the first paragraph, the pronoun “I“ in the quoted
44、 sentence “I said to Schwartz, “refers to_. （ A） Eisner （ B） Fields （ C） Schwartz （ D） Katzenberg 59 Katzenberg made a lawsuit against Disney because_. （ A） Disney dismissed him before the contract expired （ B） Eisner insulted him in a magazine by calling him “the little midget“ （ C） Disney did not

47、C） Eisners animated movies didnt bring as much money as Katzenberg thinks （ D） Disney is undergoing a financial crisis 62 We can infer from this passage that_. （ A） Katzenberg will undoubtedly win the lawsuit and get all the money he claimed （ B） Eisner will remain imperturbable all through the tria
48、l （ C） Katzenberg will suffer great embarrassment （ D） Disney will face more lawsuits from their employees 62 The Welsh language has always been the ultimate marker of Welsh identity, but a generation ago it looked as if Welsh would go the way of Manx once widely spoken on the isle of Man but now ex
49、tinct. Government financing and central planning, however, has helped reverse the decline of Welsh. Road signs and official public documents are written in both Welsh and English, and schoolchildren are required to learn both languages. Welsh is now one of the most successful of Europes regional languages, spoken by more than a half million of the countrys three million people. The revival of the language, part
