     Howard Dill is a giant among giant pumpkin growers. He grew world champion pumpkins
for four years running,from 1979 to 1982,and missed winning the fifth year by a mere 5 pounds.
Today,his Dill Atlantic Giant seeds are sold worldwide to more than 50 seed companies. The
pumpkins grown from his Dill Atlantic Giant seeds commonly weigh in at over 1,000 pounds.
"I don't have any training in genetics (遺傳學(xué))；it was all trial and error,"Dill says. He inherited
his love of pumpkins from his father and has enjoyed growing them for years.
     Dill still grows giant pumpkins, but not for competition. In the fall, visitors come to enjoy the
pumpkin patch on his 90-acre farm in Nova Scotia,Canada. He plants ten acres of pumpkins for
Halloween and two acres of giant pumpkins. One of giant pumpkins was recently baked into 442
pumpkin pies and sold at $ 5 each for charity.
     It you want to try growing a giant pumpkin, Dill recommends starting with a soil test and then
adding fertilizer as needed. Plant the giant pumpkin seed. A giant pumpkin can gain 15 to 20 pounds
a day, so careful watering-every day or two-is essential. You should wait about 130 days until the
pumpkin matures and then you can harvest it.
     Dill's favorite pumpkin set the Guinness Book record in 1981. It weighted 493.5 pounds. "I've
grown them larger since, but that one meant a lot, "he remembers. "I never would have predicted
ten years ago that there would be a 1,000-pounder,but there are many of them now,"says Dill.The
2006 world record holder is Larry Checkon of Pennsylvania. He grew a 1,469 pounder. Dill says,
"These world champions are grown from my seeds, so I feel like a winner right along with them."

double the output.

     Arthur Miller (1915-2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the
20th century. Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many
others by the "Great American Dream." However, he experienced severe financial hardship when
his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s.
     Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system,
with its aggressive (有進取心的) way of doing business and its insistence on money and social
status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into
trouble with his worth. Willy is "burnt out" and in the cruel world of business there is no room for
sentiment (多愁善感): if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner
Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his
lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
     When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won
the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics` Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize
for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.
     Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February
10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.

Mary responded in typical teenage fashion.From that moment on,"the very last thing I ever
thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.
     The show business thing worked out,of course.In her career,Mary won many awards.Only
recently,when she began to write Growing Up Again,did she regret ignoring her mom," I don't
know how to use a computer," she admits.
     Unlike her 1995 autobiography,After All, her second book is less about life as an award

intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF),an organization she serves as
international chairman."I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says." I didn't want to
lecture,but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self?controlled

baby she was carrying,and second,tests showed that she had diabetes.In a childlike act,she left
the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈).Years would pass before she
realized she had to grow up again-and take control of her diabetes,not let it control her.Only
then did she kick her three pack a day cigarette habit,overcome her addiction to alcohol,and
begin to follow a balanced diet.
     Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance
floor,she refuses to fall into self pity."Everybody on earth can ask,'why me' about something
or other," she insists."It doesn't do any good.No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache,pain,
and disappointments.Sometimes we can make things better by helping others.I've come to
realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time.I want to speak out and be as
helpful as I can be."
