Close Test 11
Read the passage first,and then choose the right answer for each blank
People have always been interested in knowing about world records.They want to know the biggest,smallest,fastest,slowest,longest,shortest,oldest and youngest.However,until 1955 there was no reference book(参考书) that contained information on world records.The first book of this kind was the Guinness(吉尼斯) Book of World Records.
The idea for this book came from Hugh Beaver,who was an executive(董事) of Arthur Guinness Company.One day,after seeing some birds flying,he told his friends that he thought those birds were probably the fastest birds in Britain.Several of his friends disagreed with him.However,when they tried to solve the problem by looking in various reference books,they found out that one of them contained the information that they were looking for.As a result,Hugh Beaver decided that his company should put out a book that would contain all sorts of superlatives(世界之最) and world records.
Hugh Beaver began to look for authors.Soon he heard of Norris and Ross Mc Whirter.They had a small fact and figure agency(机构) in London.They worked finding and checking facts for people.Hugh Beaver went to interview the two brothers in order to test their knowledge of records and important facts.He found their knowledge amazing(令人惊异的),and gave them jobs.On August 27,1955,the Guinness Book of Superlatives went on sale in bookstores.In four months it became a best seller.Later,the name of the book was changed to the Guinness Book of the World Records.

通过阅读,然后给每个空格选择正确的答案.
人们总是对世界记录很感兴趣.他们想要知道世界上最大的,最小的,最快的,最慢的,最长的,最短的,最老的和最年轻的.然而,直到1955年,仍然没有参考书可以显示关于世界记录的.像这样的第一本书就是吉尼斯世界记录.
关于出这本书的点子是来自于Arthur Guinness公司的董事Hugh Beaver.一天,在看见一些鸟飞过之后,他告诉他的朋友,他想这些鸟可能是英国飞的最快的.他的一些朋友不同意他的观点.然而,当他们试着想要通过查找各种参考书籍来解决问题时,他们发现没有一本书是有这些信息的.最终,Hugh Beaver决定,他的公司应该出一本包括了世界之最和世界记录的书籍.
Hugh Beaver开始为这本书寻找作者.很快他听说了 Norris和Ross Mc两名作家.他们在伦敦有一个小的事实和数字机构.他们为了给人们找寻并且确认事实而工作.Hugh Beaver为了测试他们关于世界记录和重要事实的知识而拜访了这2个兄弟.他发现他们的学问令人很惊讶,而后给了他们工作.在1955年8月27日,这本书在书店上市售卖了.4个月里,这成了销量最好的一本书.后来,这本书的名字变更为了吉尼斯世界记录.
