3l6l49wxw0xdzh64ernxiormja254d | From March 29 to April 19, a new version of Death of a Salesman
was performedat tne Capital Theatre as the first in a series of
foreign classics to mark the 60th anniversary of the Beijing People's Art
Theatre.The last time this play was performed in Beijing was 29 years ago.
Death of a Salesman was created in 1949 by Arthur Miller, who used it to reveal the weakness of the "American Dream" .The main character, Willy Loman, believes wholeheartedly in American capitalism, and desires to "succeed" but his own greed _ him in the end.Death of a Salesman's first performance was a huge hit on Broadway, where it shocked the American theatre world, and strengthened the 33-year-old Miller's status as a master of American theatre.The play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, New York Drama Critics' Circle, and the Tony Award for Best Play.The New York Times praised Death of a Salesman as a milestone of 20th century theatre.In 1999, Death of a Salesman received another Tony Award for Best Revival, and the then 83-year-old Miller was given the National Medal of Arts.
The 1983 version of Death of a Salesman was directed personally by Arthur Miller on a visit to China, with Beijing director and actor Ying Ruocheng as the main character of Willy Loman.On May 7, 1983, the play was performed for the first time at the Capital Theatre, and the first series of performances lasted until August 18, with over 50 performances, some of which filled the house, and all of which had great influence.
When it was first performed here, China didn't have "salesman" , so the actors had to use their imagination to represent the characters and American society, and the audiences weren't entirely sure about some information.For example, they couldn't understand what "fixed payments" were, or why, if Willy was a lower-class member of American society, his family had a house, car, refrigerator, and television.But this didn't stop the play from becoming a widely-known page in Beijing's theatre history. | How many shows they had then? | {

3n4bptxio8sfyylm0kilxh8yfc2kuf | A new genius in physics like Einstein will emerge , scientists say. But it may take a long time .After, more than 200 yeas separated Einstein from his nearest rival , Isaac Newton. Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn't been yet, or is a baby now.
And researchers say there are many factors working against another Einstein emerging anytime soon. For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein's day, there were only a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theoreticians who could intellectually rival Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare. Education is different, too. One essential aspect of Einstein's training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager--Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others, It taught him how to think independently and abstractly about space and time. Einstein was also an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem. Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren't many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts.
"Maybe there is an Einstein out there today," said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene, "but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard." Especially considering what Einstein was promoting. "The actual structure of space and time bending? My God, what an idea!" Greene said at a recent gathering at the Aspen Institute. "It takes a certain type of person who will knock his head against the wall because you believe you'll find the solution." Perhaps the best examples are the five scientific papers Einstein wrote in his "miracle year" of 1905. These" thought experiments" were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious journal Annalen der Physik by an unknown.What might happen to such a submission today? "We all get papers like those in the mail," Greene said. "We put them in the junk file." | Who was Einstein's rival? | {

3jnqlm5ft4mhysu220kg6yqlllsl25 | Steve Flaig of Grand Rapids, Michigan, knew he'd been adopted as a baby, and when he turned 18, in 2003, he decided he'd try to track down his birth mother. The agency from which he'd been adopted gave him his mother's name: Christine Tallady. But online searches didn't turn up any results, and Flaig let it go.
In 2007, though, he searched for the name again online. This time, the search results included a home address near the Lowe's store where Flaig, then 22, worked as a deliveryman.When he mentioned the coincidence to his boss, his boss said, " You mean Chris Tallady, who works here?"
Flaig and Tallady, 45, a cashier, had said hi to each other a few times at thestore, but they'd never really talked. He hadn't even known her name. Flaig thought, " There's no possible way she's my mother."
For a few months, Flaig avoided Tallady. " I wasn't sure how to approach her," he told a local reporter. Finally, an adoption agency employee volunteered to call Tallady for him.
When Tallady realized that the nice guy she'd been waving at was her son, she _ . " I wasn't ready to be a mother at that time." She'd given him up for adoption in 1985, when she was 23. However, she'd always hoped to meet her birth son one day. Later that day, mother and son talked for almost three hours at a nearbybar.

The agency from which he'd been adopted gave him his mother's name: Christine Tallady. But online searches didn't turn up any results, and Flaig let it go.
In 2007, though, he searched for the name again online. This time, the search results included a home address near the Lowe's store where Flaig, then 22, worked as a deliveryman.When he mentioned the coincidence to his boss, his boss said, " You mean Chris Tallady, who works here?"
Flaig and Tallady, 45, a cashier, had said hi to each other a few times at thestore, but they'd never really talked. He hadn't even known her name. Flaig thought, " There's no possible way she's my mother."
For a few months, Flaig avoided Tallady. " I wasn't sure how to approach her," he told a local reporter. Finally, an adoption agency employee volunteered to call Tallady for him.
When Tallady realized that the nice guy she'd been waving at was her son, she _ . " I wasn't ready to be a mother at that time." She'd given him up for adoption in 1985, when she was 23. However, she'd always hoped to meet her birth son one day. Later that day, mother and son talked for almost three hours at a nearbybar.

3vhp9mdgrnk8wic8di6onyunzb7fcg | (CNN) -- As a young freedom fighter, Nelson Mandela stepped out of a farmhouse hideout in South Africa, took 20 strides and dug a hole on the sprawling land.
He leaned over, put in a semiautomatic pistol and 200 rounds of ammunition, and carefully put a khaki uniform over them.
After covering them with heaps of soil, he sauntered back into his rural hideout in northern Johannesburg -- hoping to retrieve them soon.
He never got a chance to fire a shot with the Makarov pistol. A few weeks after he buried it at the farm in Rivonia, he was hurled into prison for the next 27 years.
That was in 1962, and the whereabouts of the gun -- now estimated at $3 million -- remain a mystery, said Nicholas Wolpe, the chief executive of Liliesleaf Farm, the former hideout now converted into a museum.
A scramble to find the gun has sparked a frenzy among collectors, historians and Mandela fans.
'It's interesting how we came to find out about the gun," Wolpe said. "Mandela visited Liliesleaf in 2003, and as we were walking around, he turned to me and asked, 'By the way, did you find my gun?"
Wolpe said he was stunned.
"I turned to him and said, 'Gun, what gun?' "
Mandela then asked him to pinpoint where the main kitchen once stood.
"He then made a 45-degree angle and said, '20 paces from here, I buried a gun,' " Wolpe said.
During the visit, the two tried to retrace his steps using the paces as a guide, but the farm had undergone some changes, making it hard to determine the original location of the kitchen with certainty. | Who buried a pistol? | {

He leaned over, put in a semiautomatic pistol and 200 rounds of ammunition, and carefully put a khaki uniform over them.
After covering them with heaps of soil, he sauntered back into his rural hideout in northern Johannesburg -- hoping to retrieve them soon.
He never got a chance to fire a shot with the Makarov pistol. A few weeks after he buried it at the farm in Rivonia, he was hurled into prison for the next 27 years.
That was in 1962, and the whereabouts of the gun -- now estimated at $3 million -- remain a mystery, said Nicholas Wolpe, the chief executive of Liliesleaf Farm, the former hideout now converted into a museum.
A scramble to find the gun has sparked a frenzy among collectors, historians and Mandela fans.
'It's interesting how we came to find out about the gun," Wolpe said. "Mandela visited Liliesleaf in 2003, and as we were walking around, he turned to me and asked, 'By the way, did you find my gun?"
Wolpe said he was stunned.
"I turned to him and said, 'Gun, what gun?' "
Mandela then asked him to pinpoint where the main kitchen once stood.
"He then made a 45-degree angle and said, '20 paces from here, I buried a gun,' " Wolpe said.
During the visit, the two tried to retrace his steps using the paces as a guide, but the farm had undergone some changes, making it hard to determine the original location of the kitchen with certainty. | What town? | {

31qnsg6a5rtt5m7pens7xklnc1e78k | Martin had just finished high school. He would go to college at the far end of the city. He didn't want to live there, and he didn't want to take the bus either. So his father agreed to buy him a car.
His father spent all his summer teaching him how to drive, from the ABC to the XYZ. Thinking of the great feeling of driving a new car, Martin learned very quickly, and received his driver's license just before his eighteenth birthday.
The second day, all the family, and their dog, went to a car shop. Martin spent almost all the morning going from one car to another. Finally he saw a red Blue Bird. He had a test drive on the open ground, and called out, "This is what I want, Dad!" When everything was done, they were ready to leave.
Martin climbed into the front seat. He said excitedly, "It's my first day driving alone. Dad, Mom, and Poo! Enjoy it!"
His dad immediately took the back seat, right behind the new driver. Martin wondered why his father chose that seat, for his father always enjoyed looking in front.
So he said, smiling, "I'm sure you're back there to have a change after all those weeks of sitting in the front seat teaching me how to drive."

31qnsg6a5rtt5m7pens7xklnc1e78k | Martin had just finished high school. He would go to college at the far end of the city. He didn't want to live there, and he didn't want to take the bus either. So his father agreed to buy him a car.
His father spent all his summer teaching him how to drive, from the ABC to the XYZ. Thinking of the great feeling of driving a new car, Martin learned very quickly, and received his driver's license just before his eighteenth birthday.
The second day, all the family, and their dog, went to a car shop. Martin spent almost all the morning going from one car to another. Finally he saw a red Blue Bird. He had a test drive on the open ground, and called out, "This is what I want, Dad!" When everything was done, they were ready to leave.
Martin climbed into the front seat. He said excitedly, "It's my first day driving alone. Dad, Mom, and Poo! Enjoy it!"
His dad immediately took the back seat, right behind the new driver. Martin wondered why his father chose that seat, for his father always enjoyed looking in front.
So he said, smiling, "I'm sure you're back there to have a change after all those weeks of sitting in the front seat teaching me how to drive."
"No," Dad replied, "Do you remember what you did to me all those years when I took you to and from school? I am sitting here to hit and kick the back of your seat all the way!" | When he went to the car shop what did he spend all morning doing? | {

32svav9l3f9pnrzh999vguf2xqka3k | (CNN) -- He may be a long way from the football field, but Pele at least is back to talking and getting better at a Sao Paulo, Brazil, hospital.
The city's Albert Einstein Hospital issued a statement Saturday saying the football legend -- born Edson Arantes do Nascimento -- was improving but still in intensive care battling an illness.
Pele is lucid, talking and responding to antibiotics, the hospital said. He remains on temporary dialysis, which was a reason he was moved to the ICU in the first place, because the machine he needed was there.
The hospital issued a second statement later Saturday, indicating that Pele continues to recover and that doctors plan to take him off dialysis early Sunday.
Earlier this week, the 74-year-old was admitted to the medical facility -- the same place he recently underwent surgery to remove kidney stones -- for a urinary tract infection.
The athletic icon had one kidney removed during this days as a player, his aide, Jose Fornos Rodrigues, told CNN.
Pele tweeted Thursday that he was looking forward to spending the holidays with family and starting "the new year with renewed health, with many international trips planned."
"I am blessed to receive your love and support," Pele said, "and thank God this is nothing serious."
Known as "The Black Pearl" and simply "The King," Pele is one of the best known names in all of sports.
He burst onto the scene as a teenager, helping lead his native Brazil to the 1958 World Cup championship. Pele went on to star on two other World Cup title teams as well, in 1962 and 1970, in addition to a breakthrough career with the Brazilian club Santos and later with the New York Cosmos of the now-defunct North American Soccer League. | Who is back to talking and getting better at Sao Paulo Brazil, hospital? | {

THE SIN OF VROUW BOTMAR
When the meat was cleared away I bade Suzanne go to bed, which she did most unwillingly, for knowing the errand of these men she wished to hear our talk. As soon as she was gone I took a seat so that the light of the candles left my face in shadow and fell full on those of the three men--a wise thing to do if one is wicked enough to intend to tell lies about any matter--and said:
"Now, here I am at your service; be pleased to set out the business that you have in hand."
Then they began, the lawyer, speaking through the interpreter, asking, "Are you the Vrouw Botmar?"
"That is my name."
"Where is your husband, Jan Botmar?"
"Somewhere on the veldt; I do not know where."
"Will he be back to-morrow?"
"No."
"When will he be back?"
"Perhaps in two months, perhaps in three, I cannot tell."
At this they consulted together, and then went on:
"Have you living with you a young Englishman named Ralph Mackenzie?"
"One named Ralph Kenzie lives with us."
"Where is he?"
"With my husband on the veldt. I do not know where."
"Can you find him?"
"No, the veldt is very wide. If you wish to see him you must wait till he comes back."
"When will that be?"
"I am not his nurse and cannot tell; perhaps in three months, perhaps six."

"Now, here I am at your service; be pleased to set out the business that you have in hand."
Then they began, the lawyer, speaking through the interpreter, asking, "Are you the Vrouw Botmar?"
"That is my name."
"Where is your husband, Jan Botmar?"
"Somewhere on the veldt; I do not know where."
"Will he be back to-morrow?"
"No."
"When will he be back?"
"Perhaps in two months, perhaps in three, I cannot tell."
At this they consulted together, and then went on:

"One named Ralph Kenzie lives with us."
"Where is he?"
"With my husband on the veldt. I do not know where."
"Can you find him?"
"No, the veldt is very wide. If you wish to see him you must wait till he comes back."
"When will that be?"

3nlzy2d53ppyqbwn4bah2goo1u8qlw | (CNN) -- Serena Williams was forced to pull out of the Madrid Open with a thigh injury ahead of her quarter final tie with Petra Kvitova Friday.
The withdrawal will come as a blow to the world No. 1's preparations for the French Open with the year's second major beginning in two weeks' time.
Williams had been playing with heavy strapping all week, although confirmed she hopes to be able to take part in the Italian Open in Rome next week.
"I have a left thigh injury and, unfortunately, have to withdraw from this year's Madrid Open," Williams told the WTA website.
"It happened during my first round match. It started to get better, but most importantly right now, I just need some time to rest and recover.
"I am planning to play in Rome. Fortunately, I have a bye next week so will have an extra day of rest."
Williams has won the title in Madrid for the last two years and used the event as a springboard to take the French Open crown at Roland Garros last May.
She added: "It's beyond words. It's so frustrating. We couldn't ask for a better tournament and I love it here in Madrid. I love being a champion here."
Elsewhere in the women's draw, Maria Sharapova overcame world No. 2 Li Na 2-6, 7-6 (7/5) 6-3 to reach the semifinals where she will face Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska who defeated surprise package Caroline Garcia 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.
Williams' withdrawal means the second semifinal will pit Kvitova against No.4 seed Simona Halep who trumped the in-form Ana Ivanovic 6-2, 6-2. | Did Serena Williams withdraw from the Madrid Open? | {
