Passage One
I know I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.
——Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe’s career as an actress was only 16 years. She made 29 films, 24 in the first 8 years of her career
Born as Norma Jeanne Mortenson on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles General Hospital, her mother, Gladys, listed the father’s name as unknown. Marilyn would never know the true identity of her father. On July 23, 1946 she signed a contract with Twentieth Century-Fox Studios. She selected her mother’s family name of Monroe. From this point on she would be known as Marilyn Monroe to all her fans.
Her first serious acting job came in 1950 when she had a small but important role in “The Asphalt Jungle” and received favorable reviews. “Clash By Night” in 1952 earned her several notices. Alton Cook of the New York World-Telegram and Sun wrote “... a forceful actress, a gifted new star, worthy of all the fantasy of the press. Her role here is not very big, but she makes it dominant.” Monroe’s first leading part in a serious feature was to be in “Don’t Bother to Knock”, also filmed in 1952.
Also in 1952 Marilyn began filming “Niagara”. This film established her stardom. After her next big film, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”, she signed her name and placed her hands and feet in the wet cement in front of the Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, where she had visited years earlier as a child.
In Monroe’s life, Arthur Miller had a great effect on her. To Monroe, Miller represented the serious theatre and a wisdom that she found attractive. To Miller, years after, he said, “It was wonderful to be around her, she was simply overwhelming. She had so much promise. It seemed to me that she could really be a great kind of phenomenon, a terrific artist. She was endlessly fascinating; full of original observations... there wasn’t a traditional bone in her body.”
Monroe’s health had been getting worse due to increased dependency on drugs and an unhappy marriage. She often came to the set late and was unable to remember her lines.
Monroe died on August 5, 1960, at the age of 36.
21. From this passage we know ____.
 A. Marilyn Monroe gave herself her family name
 B. Marilyn’s mother named Monroe in hospital
 C. Arthur Miller selected the name for Marilyn Monroe
 D. Marilyn Monroe was named after her father
22. It was in 1952 that Marilyn Monroe ____.
 A. signed a contract with Twentieth Century-Fox Studios
 B. gradually attracted the public’s attention by her acting job
 C. began to play a leading role in the film called Clash By Night
 D. turned 36
23. Arthur Miller said there wasn’t a traditional bone in Monroe’s body probably because ____.
 A. she was a great beauty
 B. she brought people fresh and creative feelings
 C. she belonged to the public and the world
 D. she achieved a lot in her short acting career
24. It can be concluded from the passage that ____.
 A. since she was born Monroe’s health had been in bad condition
 B. Monroe began to pick up an acting job at the age of 16
 C. Monroe died very young because of her unhappy marriage
 D. Monroe’s acting fame was founded very quickly
25. What does the word “terrific” mean?
 A. terrible  B. attractive

Passage Two
You’ve just got a new computer and you are delighted with it. It is doing everything you want it to do. But what are you going to do with your old computer?
In the past consumers often paid high prices for their computers, but how much do you think these computers are worth now? Few people want to buy a computer which has become out-of-date or has been replaced by a newer mode. Unfortunately, the only thing you can do with a computer which you have had for five or six years is to throw it away with your other garbage
What do many people do when they try to sell their old computers? Foolishly, they take into account its original cost and then reduce the price according to the age of the computer rather like a second-hand car. They forget that new computers are becoming cheaper every day, making old computers almost worthless.
