When Columbus reached the New World, com was the most widely grown plant in the Americas. This plant’s range extended from what is now southern Canada to lower South America. At that time some tribes cultivated it at sea level, others at elevation(海拔高度) of more than 11 000 feet. "Columbus had no way of knowing that corn was far more valuable than the spices(香料) and gold he had hoped to find." said Frances B. King, a professor at a university of Pittsburgh. Through human intervention, this plant has developed into several hundred races, or varieties. Their heights vary from 2 to 12 feet, and their maturity ranges from little more than 2 months to almost a year. Their ears vary not only in color, but also in size. Unlike other cereals(谷类), corn bears little resemblance to its wild ancestors. In fact, it differs from the appearance of its immediate ancestors more than any other cultivated plant known. From humble origins as a lowland grass, corn developed into the western world’s important grain. As its high yields allowed communities to grow far beyond what early agriculture could feed, most scientists viewed corn as having largely fueled pre-Columbian growth and civilization. Now, new findings are greatly altering researchers’ notions about the time when com revolution occurred. New dates for its emergence from Mesoamenrica do not support the widely held view. The evidence now suggests that the signs of corn in Americas can date back 5 500 years at least. The second paragraph implies that ______.

A. the purpose of Columbus’ exploration was to discover com
B. corn was one of Columbus’ discoveries, but more precious than anything else
Columbus knew corn so well that he brought back to Europe at once
D. corn was the only Columbus’ discovery that was remembered

Seventy years ago, a film featuring a talking mouse appeared in the United States. The character was only a pencil drawing, but it began a fantasy that America and much of the wider world have yet to grow tired of. Predicting the future is always risky. But it’s probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America’s "Disney era". The reasons for Disney’s success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person -- the man who created the cartoon and build the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically(讽刺地), he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the "little guy", and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fear of ordinary people. Disney’s other great virtue was the fact that his company -- unlike other big corporations -- had a human face. His Hollywood studio -- the public heard -- operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on first-name terms and had a say in how things should be run. By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon(偶像) like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was "Uncle Walt" -- the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.1.What is the best title for the passage
