8、ne that had been repeated many times in the theaters 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different.

9、 Picture Showwas the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-be to the old building.

10、all town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down. Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theaters location(位置) was also a reason.“This used to be the center of town,”he said.“Now the area is mostly office bu
11、ildings and warehouses.”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place.

CAfter years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and tr
16、ansported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 115 wolves. Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were graduallydisplacedby human development. By the 1920s , wolves had practic
17、ally disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations -major food sources (来源) for the wolf grew rapidly. These animals consumed l
18、arge amounts of vegetation（植被）, which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote（郊狼）populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park s red foxes, and completely drove away the park s beavers.来源:Zxxk.ComAs early as 1966, biologists asked the
19、government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk（麋鹿） and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets. The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a
20、 plan to reintroduce the wolves . The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red forests have made

24、 nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫）andperformancefatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it,themore tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is
25、 very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determ
26、ined to write them inalphabeticalorder(按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the days work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot see
27、m to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can then the unconscious(不清醒) wins.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (大英百科全书), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its art
28、icles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trou
29、ble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as
30、hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe，must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.11. .People with start-up fatigue are most likely to_ .A. accept failureB. work hardC. seek helpD. delay tasks 12. What
31、does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A. Dealing with the hardest task first.B. Leaving out the toughest ideas.C. Building up physical strength.D. Writing essays in strict order.13.On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A. Before starting a diff
32、icult task. B. After finding a way out.C. If the job is rather boring D. When all the solutions fail.14. According to the author, the unconscious mind may helpus_ .A. ignore mental problemsB. get some nice sleepC. gain complete reliefD. find the right solution15. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Success Is Built upon FailureB. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success. C. How to Handle Performance Fatigue.D.
