It is the secret of Chaplin s huge success.He discovered the character of the little tramp almost by accident. As young men, he and his brother traveled to America in a small company of a
18、ctors and acted in various cities. One day Charles was invited to join a new company that was making comedies. It was in his second film that he wore the clothes that made his reputation; black hat, tight coat, big trousers, huge shoes, moustache(胡须)and walking stick. He intended simply to make peop
19、le laugh. But the old disguises(扮相)made him look both comic and sad.His appearance was a popular success, right from the beginning. But his early films hadn t much story.

24、presidency of Calvin Coolidge, late in August, 1923. He and his family were living at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had occupied during his vice presidency.Coolidge awoke to see a burglar search his clothes. Finally he got a wallet and a watch. When he was removing the watch chain, Cooli
25、dge spoke: “I wish you wouldn t take that. “ The thief, at his voice, said:“Why?“ “I dont mean the watch and chain, only the charm. Take it near the window and read what is engraved(雕刻)on the back of it, “ the President said. The burglar read : “Presented to Calvin Coolidge, Speaker of the House, by
26、 the Massachusetts General Court. “ “Are you President Coolidge?“ he asked. The President answered, “Yes, and the Legislature gave me that watch charm. I m fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let s talk this over.“ Holding up the wallet, the thief bargained:“ Ill take this and leave
27、 everything else.“ Coolidge, knowing there was $80 in the billfold, persuaded the thief to sit down and talk. The young man said he and his college roommate had overspent during their vacation and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill. Coolidge added up the room rate and two rail tickets
28、 back to the campus. Then he counted out $ 32 and said it was a loan.

33、ntry will give them the green light.On June 23, 1978, the late Deng Xiaoping, then Chinese Vice-premier, decided that more people should study abroad, and the policy started a 20-year study-abroad fever.In Chinese cities, it is difficult to find a young person who has not heard of TOEFL(Test of Engl
34、ish as a Foreign Language)or GRE(Graduate Record Examination), the primary tests required to attend graduate school in the United States.China sent its first group of students to study in the United States and Europe back in 1872. That ended during World War II .During the 1950 s, the major destinat
35、ion for students was the former Soviet Union. Many Chinese leaders were students in Soviet colleges.But the “cultural revolution(19661976)“ dealt a blow to the enthusiasm. Any contacts with foreigners were strictly banned(禁止).“ To some extent, the difficulty of a shortage of talented people has been
36、 eased,“ she said, “thanks to the study-abroad policy which has in turn promoted China s opening-up to the rest of the world. “ Wei went on to say that during the past two decades, about 300, 000 Chinese have gone to study in more than 100 countries. By the end of 1997, a total of 163, 100 Chinese h
37、ad studied in the United States, accounting for 56 percent of the students who went overseas to study.“Facts have proved that Dengs decision was correct. “ Wei said.Another official said that more and more students have returned to China after completing their studies abroad. “China s economic mirac
38、le is providing them with opportunities to develop their talent. “ he said, adding that their social status, working and living conditions have been improving.46 In Paragraph 2, the “green light“ refers to_.（A）the passport（B） the permission（C） the symbol of welcome（D）one of the traffic signals47 The

Later he used sharp bone or horn, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plasti
43、c and that was where we stuck, in surgical instrument terms, for many years. In the 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also, in time, to change greatly the art and science of surgery.The tool is th
44、e laser(激光)and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world. As we all know, light is hot, any source of lightfrom the sun itself down to a simple match burningwill give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam(激光束), however, is concentrate
45、d( 密集). This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized(针尖大小的)beam.Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a part
46、icular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser beam right through the eye-ball. No knives, no stitches(缝针), no unwanted damagea true surgical wonder. Operations which once
47、made patients tired and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling calm and comfortable. So much more difficult operations can now be tried.The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. Perhaps som
48、e cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective. Altogether, tomorrow may see more and more information coming to light on the diseases which can be treated medically.51 The instruments of surgical operations up until 1960s can be described as_
49、.（A）traditional（B） complicated（C） magical（D）revolutionary52 What changes have taken place since the appearance of laser in the 1960s?（A）Industrial revolution has made medical help available for industrial workers.（B） The research in study of art went through a complete revolution.（C） Surgery benefits greatly from
