Small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That's the finding of an extensive (广泛的,大量的）study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce（盎司）of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.
Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence（发生率） of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume（消耗）about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.
For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, the average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day with more men eating lean（瘦的） fish than fatty fish.
During the next two decades, 78 0f the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol（胆固醇） levels.
（ ）54. The passage is mainly about_______.
A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries
B. the effect of fish eating on people's health
C. the changes in people's diet
D. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures
（ ）55. Why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the United States?
A. Because American people drink too much.
B. Because there are a great number of fat people there.
C. The author doesn't give a definite answer.
D. Because American people eat too much fatty fish.
（ ）56. How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fish according to the Dutch study?
A. 550,000. B. 275,000. C. 110,000. D. 852.

Perhaps the most famous name in the world of silent movies is Charlie Chaplin. It was in 1889 that both moving pictures and Charlie Chaplin were born. Sadly, Charlie’s father died when Charlie was five, and his mother was sent to mental (精神的) hospital. This left young Charlie homeless and living on the streets.
Things seemed bad for Charlie, but he had a bright, nice character. He was pleasant and easy to like. So he managed to get small parts in performances around London. Then, he moved to the USA in 1906, and his life took a major change for the better. He got a part in a show performing there. Seven years after his arrival in the USA, he got his first major part in a film. Charlie was a great success in the movie theaters. His silent, highly visual (视觉的) form of comedy was perfect for the silent films of the time. By 1915, he was making over $1,250 a week, which was a huge amount of money at that time. Charlie knew what he was good at, and he stuck to it. Even when sound could be used for movies in 1923, he continued to make silent pictures. Charlie knew that the silence was an essential part of what made his movies so funny. Charlie continued to make silent films well into the 1940s, when almost everyone else had changed to sound. Charlie, however, still remained one of the world’s greatest film stars.
（ ）57. When did Charlie get his first major part in a film?
A. In 1889. B. In 1906. C. In 1913. D. In 1923.
（ ）58. The underlined word “essential” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____________.
A. very boring B. very correct C. very difficult D. very important
（ ）59. From the passage we know that Charlie ___________.
A. was easy to get along with B. stopped making movies in 1923
C. was born and brought up in America D. didn’t produce silent films in America
（ ）60. Which could be the best title of the passage?
A. A Great Man of Silent Movies. B. The Major Change for an Actor.
C. The Beginning of Silent Movies. D. The Hard Life for A Movie Maker.
