The ratet 1a sharp upward leap thousands of years ago,w 2the invention
28、of writing, but even so it remained painfully slow over centuries of time. In knowledge 3(acquire)the next great leap forward did not occur until the invention of movable type in the fifteenth century by Gutenberg and others. Prior 4 1500, by the most optimisticest 5, Europe was producing books at a
29、 rate of 1,000 titles per year. This means that it would take a full century to produce a library of 100,000 titles. The rate hadac 6so sharply by 1950, four and a half centuries later, that Europe was producing 120,000 titles a year. 7 once took a century now took only ten months. By 1960, as 8deca
30、de later, the rate had made another significant jump, so that a centurys work could be completed in seven and a half months. And, the output of books 9 a world scale by the mid sixties, Europe 10(include), approached the remarkable figure of 1,000 titles per day.（分数：20.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:

Some enjoy great wealth. Others make nothing. But why? Sometimes they just arent popular enough. But other times its because
32、 of the contract. The Beatles had lots of problems with their first contract. In 1963, the bands manager, Brian Epstein, allowed his lawyer to sign away the bands merchandising rights in return for just 10% of the profits. And that was a lot of money to give away. In 1964, while The Beatles were con
33、quering America, The Wall Street Journal estimated the groups merchandising would be worth $ 100 million dollars that year. This meant that the band had given away $ 90 million! To be fair to Epstein, he had no idea how much the merchandising could be worthno band had ever been so popular. Since the
34、n, bands have been careful to keep control of their merchandising rights. Post-punk bands Joy Division and New Order also signed pretty poor contracts. The bands contracts were with DJ Rob Gretton, legendary owner of the Hacienda Club in Manchester. As part of the deal, Gretton could use the money f
35、rom the bands to financially support the club. In the end, the club survived but Joy Division didnt(lead singer Ian Curtis committed suicide, reportedly because of marital problems). New Order were extremely successful as a group, but there werent many profits. In fact, their most successful hit, “B
36、lue Monday“ , cost so much to make that the song made a loss. And what money there was, went straight back into the club. Singer-songwriter Gilber OSullivan had a string of hits in the early 1970s. But things turned sour when Gilbert eventually discovered that the recording contract he had with MAM-
37、Records greatly favored the labels owner, Gordon Mills. Gilbert sued and won 7 million, but his career was put on hold during the court case. and it never recovered. Even Bruce Springsteen has suffered. His first management contract was so bad that he had to get legal help to get out of it. But whil
38、e this was going on, he couldnt record any new material. The result? No new Springsteen albums for almost two years between 1976 and 1978. Sometimes its dad who causes the problems. Michael Jackson and The Beach Boys are two examples of this. Murray Wilson, the Beach Boys manager(and Brian Wilsons d
39、ad), sold the bands song catalogue for less than $ 1 million at the height of their fame. Brian later claimed that it was “like losing his children“. Paul Wellers dad was his manager for a while. An ex-boxer who had no respect for record company executives, he once demanded a large advance for Pauls
40、 new contract. The record company couldnt believe their luck, and were more than happy to pay as it was less than half what they had been expecting to fork out! Dad doesnt always know best, it seems. But sometimes its the musicians themselves who are their own worst managers. The Beatles made a terr
41、ible mess of their business affairs when they took control after the death of Brian Epstein. Even more disastrous was John Fogerty, leader of Creedence Clearwater Survival. He signed a contract with a recording company and then rejected their offer to appear on the album and film of the music festiv
42、al Woodstock. These days, who remembers that the most famous rock festival of all time was headlined by Creedence Clearwater Survival? No one! Except John Fogerty, presumably.

Still there are hundreds of things to do and see all the year round. 1When people say “New York City“ , they usually mean Manhattan. Most of the interesting shops, buildings and museums are here. In addition, Manhattan is the scene of New Yorks busy night life. In 1605, the first Europeans came to Manhattan from Holland. They bought the island from the Native Americans for a few glass necklaces worth about $26 today. 2It is also the most important banking center in t
