To celebrate the anniversary the original cast members reassembled, rehearsed for two days and performed the show in a semi-staged version at the Nederlander on Monday. The event was a benefit for the New York Theater Workshop, for Friends in Deed (a support organization that gave comfort to several of Mr. Larson's friends dealing with H.I.V. infections), and for the Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation, which was set up by his family after the enormous success of "Rent".
Before the performance, the co-chairmen of the benefit told the star-studded audience that more than $2 million' had been raised. Also addressing the crowd were Senator Charles E. Schumer and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who praised "Rent" as a timeless work exemplifying "culture, community and creativity", in the mayor's words, and saluted the show's vast contributions to New York's theatrical life.
Once again you could only think, "Would Jonathan ever have imagined all this？" Mr. Larson, who wrote the music, lyrics and books for his stage works, struggled for more than 10 years to get a producer to take a shot at one of his shows. Now he was being posthumously thanked for giving Broadway a creative and economic boost. "Rent" is the seventh longest running show in Broadway history.
I count myself among those who were personally affected by Mr. Larson's work. Because of the inadvertent role I played in the last hours of his life. In 1996 an editor at The Times tipped me off to the opening of a rock musical, inspired by. "La Boehme", which transplanted Puccini's struggling bohemians from Paris in the 1830's to the 'East Village in 1990's. So on Jan. 24 I went to the New York Theater Workshop m see the dress rehearsal of "Rent", which was scheduled to open in February.
That performance was pretty ragged, with technical glitches and a misbehaving sound system. But I was swept away by the sophistication and exuberance of Mr. Larson's music and the mix of tenderness and cleverness in his lyrics. After the show Mr. Larson and I sat down for an interview in the tiny ticket booth of the theater, the only quiet space we could find amid the post-rehearsal confusion. For almost an hour, this sad-eyed and boyish, creator talked about his approach to songwriting, his determination to bring the American musical tradition to the MTV generation, and about friends snuggling with H.I.V. infection who had inspired the show.
The fact that the original production was an almost-intact transfer of the initial production at the New York Theater Workshop implies that______.
A．Rent was a classical work
B．Michael Greif was a conservative director
C．Rent was conservative
D．people were nostalgic
Instead, Mr. Iger warned his lieutenant on that night in November 2003, "I'm going to let you have it." But it was Mr. Braun who let fly, according to a passage from a draft of James Stewart's book "Disney War".
Mr. Braun accused Mr. Iger of "lack of character; incompetence; taking credit for things you had nothing to do with; and running away from decisions you made."
When Mr. Braun alleged that his boss had not had a hand in one of ABC's few successes at the time, the "reality" show "The Bachelor", Mr. Iger was kate. He jumped out of his chair, jostling a waiter who spilled coffee down Mr. Iger's shirt front. Mr. Stewart's book, which does not hit stores until later this month but already is the talk of Hollywood, could not come at a worse moment for Mr. Iger, widely seen as the frontrunner to become Disney's next chief executive after Michael Eisner.
"The timing isn't good at all," said Harold Vogel, a media analyst. Disney board members are scheduled to meet on Thursday to discuss Mr. Eisner's replacement, expected to be named by June. Once dismissed by Wall Street as being too close to Mr. Eisner and not a strong leader in his own right, Mr. Iger has overcome reservations in the investment community.
Disney cooperated extensively with Mr. Stewart during his research. But recently the group has been battling with the author and his publisher, Simon & Schuster, over unflattering passages about Mr. Iger and Mr. Eisner that Disney executives have insisted are slanted or erroneous.
Asked to comment on the draft of Stewart's book, a Disney spokesman would say only: "This flagrantly irresponsible article does not rise to a level that merits the dignity of a response.
Mr. Stewart, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, declined to comment. Simon & Schuster executive vice-president David Rosenthal said, "We feel the book speaks for itself, and we stand behind it."
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？
A．ABC entertainment chairman had a quarrel with James Stewart, the Pulitzer Prize winner.
B．Robert Iger is one of the Disney's next chief executive candidates.
C．Michael Eisner is lack of character and incompetence.
D．Harold Vogel wrote the book "Disney War".
A.lawfully
B.secretly
C.legally
D.illegally

听力原文：(knock on the door)
Professor: Come in. Come in.
Michael: Good morning Professor Plant. I understand you wanted to see me？
Professor: Yes, Michael, I did. It's about your course work.
Michael: My course work？
Professor: I'm afraid your tutor, Mr. Atkins, has reported to me that the standard of your work has been getting worse.
Michael: I know, Professor, I...er...
Professor: He tells me that the essays you have done this term have been weak, and that your attendance at his tutorials and seminars has been poor.
Michael: He has spoken to me about it, Professor.
Professor: At this stage, Michael, your course work is very important. I understand from Mr. Atkins that you are capable of an upper second and it would be a pity to ruin your chances of a good degree, wouldn't it？
Michael: Yes, it would.
Professor: Michael, I think you should do two things. The first is to cut down on your Union activities-I understand you do a lot in the Student Union—and the second is to see one of the Welfare tutors to discuss any problems you may have. I'd like you to make an appointment to do that as soon as possible.
Michael: All right, Professor.
Professor: And I'll expect to hear that your course work has improved. Good morning, Michael,
Michael: Good morning, Professor, and thank you.
(Michael is in the Welfare Of fice.)
Michael: I hope I'm not late, Miss Baxter. I have an appointment for 11 o'clock. Professor Plant asked me to come.
Baxter: Take a seat, please.
Michael: My name's Michael Andrews. I'm in my last year.
Baxter: Oh yes, you're Chairman of the Social Science Society, aren't you？
Michael: That's right. That's one of my problems. It's been taking up too much time.
Baxter: Surely there must be another student who could take over the job,
Michael: Yes, there is someone, I suppose.
Baxter: There isn't anything else worrying you, is there, Mr. Andrews？ Anything personal. I mean. At home？ Financial？ You needn't feel embarrassed. There may be something I can do to help.
Michael: I... er... I'm in debt.
Baxter: Surely you have a reasonable grant？
Michael: Yes, I have, but this term's hasn't come yet and I borrowed some money when I bought a car.
Baxter: I see.
Michael: Now this person—well, actually he's a friend—now he wants his money back.
Baxter: That seems natural enough. How much do you owe him？
Michael: One hundred pounds.
Baxter: Well, I'm afraid it's against our policy to lend money to students. The only solution seems to he to sell the car, Otherwise you'll be short of money all term.
Michael: Yes, I suppose so.
Baxter: In any case, I'll ask your County to send your grant as soon as possible.
Michael: Thank you very much.
(Michael is talking to his friend Tessa in the students' coffee bar.)
Tessa: Cheer up, Mike, you look really down in the dumps. What's the matter？
Michael: I've seen the Professor this morning and the Welfare Tutor. They've advised me to resign as Chairman of the Social Science Society.
Tessa: Resign! But you've done it so well.
Michael: Yes, I know, but I can't get through my work and I've got finals coming up. I intended to work really hard last vacation, but you know what happened.
Tessa: I suppose it is best to resign, Mike. Peter can take over.
Michael: That's not all. There's a bigger blow.
Tessa: Money, I suppose.
Michael: Well, I owe Jim a hundred pounds.
Tessa: What for？ The car, was it？ You are a fool, Mike. I can't see how' an economist can be so silly about money.
Michael: I'll just have to sell the car!
Tessa: Well, cheer up!

Mr. Roger Thomas said it was (26) that 70, 000 pounds of unpaid duty was (27) between January and April last year when the gang was organizing the smuggling group.

On September 30th students at the University of Massachusetts threw a toga (a ceremonial gown) party. The cops showed up, uninvited. They charged the host, James Connolly, with underage drinking, making too much noise, and having a keg without a licence. For punishment, he had to put on his toga again and stand in front of the police station for an hour.
Dan Markel of Florida State University reckons that such "shaming punishments" are on the rise. In 2003 a couple of teenagers who defaced a nativity scene in Ohio had to parade through town with a donkey.
"The punishment must fit the crime," explained the judge, Michael Cicconetti. Several cities have aired the names of men caught soliciting prostitutes on "John TV". In 2004, a federal appeals court agreed that a mail thief could be made to stand outside a California post office wearing a sandwich board. "I stole mail," it read. "This is my punishment." In Virginia, if you fail to pay child support, you may find your car wheel-clamped: pink if you are neglecting a girl, blue for a boy.
Many support shaming punishments. Amitai Etzioni of George Washington University has argued that they are a good way to express communal values. Fines, in contrast, imply that you can buy a clear conscience. And shame seems to be a powerful deterrent. Mr. Cicconetti says he sees few repeat offenders. Cheerful Hobbesian types want everyone to know who the bad guys are, so that decent citizens can avoid them.
Others are doubtful. According to Mr. Markel, shaming punishments undermine human dignity. He suggests alternative punishments that omit the public-humiliation factor. A landlord who flouts the health code, for example, could be made to stay in one of his own slums. And it is true that there is something unpleasant about the desire to see other people humiliated. Remember the matron who objects to Hester Prynne's scarlet letter: "Why, look you, she may cover it with a brooch, or suchlike heathenish adornment, and so walk the streets as brave as ever!"
But voters appear to be comfortable on the high horse. Ted Poe, a former district judge from Texas, made his reputation by issuing a string of embarrassing sentences. He called this "Poetic justice." Once, he sentenced a man who stole pistols from the Lone Ranger to shovel manure in the Houston police stables. In 2004 Mr. Poe was elected to the House of Representatives at his first attempt.
Which of the following example shows that the penalty is suitable for the crime？
A．A man involved in sexual services has to parade through city with a donkey.
B．A letter thief is forced to stand outside a post office to admit his wrongdoing.
C．A person not paying child support is aired on TV.
D．A student drinking alcohol must stand in front of schoolgate for an hour.
