     All over the planet, they are disappearing. Scientists are worried. It may mean the end of the world. I'm
not talking about disappearing frogs. I'm talking about absent vowels (元音). I got a message the other day
that said," Mt@ 3rd st crnr@ 12", signed (签字) "BT". What did it mean? A young man in the office told
me that BT meant" beauty" and translated:" A beautiful young woman wants to meet you at the corner of
Third Street at noon."  
     The following week I was at a private dining club when a Hong Kong banker named David told me he
had met with a man who pronounced his name Choong,but spelt C - H - N - G." There can't be many names
with no vowels in them," he said. It turned out he was sitting next to a Singaporean doctor named Ng. Vowels
are disappearing at high speed among businesses, too. Ever wondered what happened to Reebok, the
sportswear company? It's still around but has renamed itself Rbk. Kentucky Fried Chicken became KFC.
      I've read articles saying that the no-vowels trend (趋向) is caused by companies trying to give their
products the shorthand spelling liked by young people. But a research finds that the real reason is often more
uninteresting. Flickr,one of the busiest websites on the Internet, was set up by people who wanted the name
Flicker but were too careless to register (注册) that word.
     Have any readers ever been to a small town in the mountains of California called Zzyzx? A man named
Curtis Howe Springer founded it as a health club and called it Zzyzx because he thought it sounded different.
The business failed. People who looked through lists for somewhere to go never reached it.
     Older readers may remember the computer game Zzyzzyzz that appeared in 1982. Fans did not know
how to ask for it. James Gleick's book Faster has been re-titled FSTR. But the revision is half-hearted with
the main text of the book still having vowels. Why not write the whole book in the simpler way? U cn stll rd
the wtht vwls. On the other hand,just know that vowel-free words can be explained in different ways. One
day I'll get a message from a BT  who may be a beauty. But I'm afraid a bat (蝙蝠) will be out there.
1. The writer's purpose in the passage is _______.

D. He accepts the idea at last.

F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in the USA on September 24, 1896. Next, he was a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short time. In 1917 he joined the army and was sent to Alabama, where he met his wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to earn some money so that he could become rich and marry her.

      His life with her was full of great happiness, and he wrote it in his diary — “My own happiness in the past often got such a joy that I could share it even with my dearest person, but I had to do so in quiet streets or in my diary.”

      This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to spend more time on his writing. Then he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby (1925), which made him famous in the literary world. Yet it failed to make him rich enough. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.

      However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda had an influence on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder（重新调整） his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife fell seriously ill and had to go to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to (沉迷于) drinking. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him get out of such a bad habit.

56. When Fitzgerald was in his twenties, he was __________.

      A. poor                     B. famous       C. smart                  D. well educated

57. Why did Fitzgerald begin to spend more time on his writing?

       B. Because of the success of his first novel.

       C. Because he wanted to share his happy life with others.

       D. Because of the encouragement of his family.

58. Which of the following is NOT true?

       A. He failed to reorder his life during the 1920s though he tried.

       B. His wife fell seriously ill and was sent to hospital by 1930.

       C. He depended a lot on drinking while his wife was in hospital in America.

       D. He didn’t keep himself away from drinking even with the help of his friend.

59. What probably is the main idea of this passage? 

      A. Fitzgerald’s life with Zelda.

      B. Zelda’s illness and the ways to treat her.

      C. Fitzgerald’s friendship with Graham.

      D. Fitzgerald’s life and his literary contributions.

60. According to the passage, how many novels did Fitzgerald write?
