Lego, the inventor of those colorful bricks that have inspired kids’ imaginations world-wide, has celebrated its 50th anniversary.
On January 28, 1958, a man named Godtfred Kirk Christiansen created the plastic building bricks that can now be found in almost every child’s toy box. The simple building block has become one of the most well-known and popular toys around the world.
"The Lego brick continues to be very attractive, because it allows children, and others, to develop their creativity and imagination," said Charlotte Simonsen, a spokeswoman of the Danish Lego company.
The company’s building brick allows an infinite number of links. With just two bricks there are 24 different links, and with six, there are 915 million possibilities, according to Lego.
A half-century after its creation, more than 400 million children and adults spend five billion hours a year putting the bricks together and pulling them apart. Also, the bricks made today can still interlock with those made in 1958.
Lego bricks are not just child’s play: they also attract the interest of adults. South Korean adventurer, Heo Young-Ho, who climbed Mount Everest in 1987, left a Lego toy behind in the snow during his climb.
After its great success Lego experienced a severe crisis at the end of the 1990s, hit hard by fierce competition from electronic games. This so-called "Toy of the Century" then suffered a dark period that lasted several years.
With great efforts, the company began to prosper again, and in 2006 it earned about 1.5 billion dollars in 130 countries. Seven boxes of Lego are now sold every second around the world, and 19 billion bricks are produced each year: enough to encircle the Earth five times！

A. attracting many children worldwide B. brought imagination to the children worldwide

The audience nodded in agreement when the speaker, a teacher from a community college, said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.”He described the shortcomings of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at Grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions ho. w this grade 9 level had been raised.
My topic is neither standards nor its decline（衰退）. What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like an adult.
My point is that the frequent complaint（抱怨）of one generation about the next is unavoidable. It is also human nature to look for the reason for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language limitation. But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.
The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they take as true the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of adults the language of the young never seems enough.
Since this concern about the fall of the English language is not taken as a generation phenomenon but rather as something new to today’s young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not make mistakes of the language.
72. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that
A. the language of the younger generation is usually better than that of the older generation
B. students had a poor command of English because they didn’t work hard
C. he was an excellent teacher because he had been teaching English for 60 years
D. English teachers should be responsible for the students’ poor command of English
73. In the author’s opinion, the speaker .
A. gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students
B. had made the language problems of the students seem larger
C. was fight in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs
D. could think and speak mentally
74. The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is
A. general B. positive C. disapproving. D. passive
75. It can be concluded from the passage that
A. it is suitable to include English as a school subject
B. the author agrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level
C. English language teaching is an easy job
D. language improvement needs time and effort
