22、er writing has been a hard or easy road I always answer with the famous saying: The end is nothing; the road is all. That is what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never faced the type-writer with the thought that one more task had to be done.Like most writers, Willa Cather did n
23、ot write books for the money that they brought her. but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing.

30、s and dialogs. They put together music and play, as well as song and dance.In Europe, the US and Japan, the musical is a popular form of performing art. Musicals generally attract more people than do plays or classical music concerts. However, most Chinese people are still not familiar with this for
31、m of art.In 1987, the American musical The Music Man, a heart-warming story about a traveling sales- man who tries to trick a small town into buying his musical instruments, was introduced in China. In 1990, Sunrise was put on stage in Shanghai. It is considered the first Chinese musical in China&rs
32、quo;s history. But neither of these achieved as great a success as had been expected. This makes it clear that in China, musicals are still at their earliest stage of development.By comparison, developed in many Western countries for years, musicals have achieved great success on Broadway (in New Yo
33、rk City) as well as in London’s West End, both of which are famous for their musicals. The musical has become an important form of art in these countries.What do we know about musicals in many Western countries ()AThey are not taken as a form of art.BThey are highly enjoyed and welcomed.CThey
34、are used to teach performing art.DThey are not as popular as concerts.9.Everyone wants the best for a baby. A mother wants her baby to have the best in the ways of food, toys, clothing and equipment. Her value judgments on prices may go wrong when it comes to buying for a baby, particularly the firs
35、t one. Factory producers and advertisers recognize this, and exploit it to the full. Far more is spent in buying push-chairs, special milk, and special powders for small babies than is necessary.The child himself watches television, a particularly strong influence on small children. Looking at them
36、as they watch television, and then watching them react to products afterwards, suggests that young children accept the television advertisements as well as the guidance offered by children’s pro- grams, and find both equally attractive. The child comes early in life to the feeling widespread i
37、n this country that if something is said on television it must be true.For this reason much Christmas-gift advertising, and advertising for sweets, food and washing powders, is specially designed for children because of the effect their repeated nagging can have on their mothers. By exercising in th
38、is way they become consumers at an early age and as a result, with present-day pressures, choosing and buying goods and services will remain an important part of their future lives.According to the writer, a mother spends more than necessary on ().AChristmas advertisingBsweetsCtelevisionDspecial pow

The first thing to go wrong was that all the parking spaces were taken. So I had to park on the grass, and hoped that I would not get a parking ticket. When I got to
42、the ad- mission office, there was already a long line of students waiting. By the time it was my turn. two of the courses I needed were filled, and I had to go back to my adviser and make out a whole new timetable. Although I did sign up for all my courses, I missed the lunch. The next thing to go w
