In arecent Hollywood comedy, that is exactly what happens.Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that

22、 finds people jobs. He leads a typical American way of life, except for one thinghelooks exactly like the President, BillMitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes himdifferent from the nation s leader is that he is very nice!The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearanc

23、es. Dave isoffered a chance to“ serve his country”oneby.becomingHowever, things go wrong. ThePresident becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins,Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for e

24、asy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man inextraordinary situations. Kevin Klinegives a double performance as Dave and thePresident, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story thatdevelops between her

25、role and Dave is a real classic.The film is 100% American. However, if you ve ever felt that anybody could do abetter job running the country than the people in power, then you ll enjoy Dave!46.What is the purpose of the text?A To tell the reader about the American government.B To discuss the Americ

28、, Americans usually order drinks first, then soup, salad,main course or entree(主菜 ), and dessert at last. This is somewhat a different order way from that in Europe.Until about the middle of the nineteenth century, Americans didn havet to worryabout whether thesalad came before or after the main cou

29、rse since they didn t eat salaall. Chomping(大聲地咀嚼 ) on greens was once considered sissy(女人氣的 ), andAmericans preferred to get their greens indirectly, after they had been processed by rabbits or deer. The shift of public taste toward the salad may be attributed to New York Delmonico brothers, who or

30、iginally introduced smorgasbord from Europe, and served it in their restaurant. Such novelties(新奇的東西 ) became so popular that by the end of the nineteenth century, the Waldorf salad has swept the country.Europeans still chomp on greens after the main course, as a way of clearing thepalate(味覺 ), and

31、being ready for the cheese. Why Americans eat their salad first isuncertain. The followingjoking suggestions might make sense: The custom may berelated to the slimming craze, for“ salad first” may fill you up without any worry aboutfattening; to avoid customers impatience with waiting, the restauran

32、t serves salad first tokeep them busy while the main courses are being prepared; eating raw food while one is waiting for the cooked food may be a way of announcing that one is not wasting time, which is seen as a virtue; probably unfair to the restaurant, this custom has been encouraged by the merc

36、cheating the diners.American s genius with high technology may have put men on the moon, but there isgrowing doubt about its ability to solve human problems closer to home.In fact, a slight but significant change from purely technological solutions is alreadyunder way as scientists insist that answe

37、rs to the world s problefromsanwill not comattractive exhibition of electronics and machines. Instead, as they see it, solutions must develop from a better understanding of the humans that drive the system and from a fullerappreciation of the limits and potential(潛能 ) of the earthrcesresou.What this

38、 means is an increased emphasis on the life and earth sciences, on sociology,psychology, economics and even philosophy.More and more of the best minds in science, particularly young researchers, arebeing drawn into these developing fields.All this is not to say that technological creativity will not
