lived in greece a learned man. he was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. the great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience (耐心).one day a student asked him, “my dear teacher, didnt you say you yourself have many, many more questions about things than we do? but i think we students have far more than you.” with a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles, one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. then he said, “of course, i have learned much more. but its wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. now, look at these two circles. the inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. since mine is larger, i have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. that means i have more opportunities(机会) to face what is still unknown. and thats why i myself have more questions than you do. the more you learn, the more questions you have. you will never learn enough, you know.”36. the learned man drew two circles to show _.a. he was good at drawing circlesb. his knowledge had something to do with the circlesc. why he had more questions than the students d. how he could get more knowledge37. the student didnt

and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.in 1954, life magazine published(刊登) a report about school children who could not read. the report said many childrens books were not interesting. doctor seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. he used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish. he did not receive training in art. yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books.in 1957, dr. seuss wrote the cat in the hat. he used less than 230 words to write the book and even a six-year-old should be able to read it. it was a fun story and easy to read. children loved it. their parents loved it, too. today it is still one of the stories they like best. the success of the cat in the hat made him want to write more books for children. in 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. the book is called green eggs and ham.in 1984, doctor seuss won a pulitzer prize (普利策奖). he was honored（尊敬） for the education and enjoyment his books provided american children and their parents a lot of fun.he died at the age of 87, but his influence remains. millions of his books have been sold worldwide. people

the worlddin the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. it was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. in those days, there were no flight attendants(服务员) to look after the passengers. young men ,or “stewards（管理员）” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. but then in 1930, a woman called ellen church created a job as a stewardess.ellen church was born in 1904 on a farm in iowa. she was a different child. she didnt want to work on a farm or marry a farmer she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. ellen studied to be a nurse at the university of minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. for the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got good grades.ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with boeing air transport. she loved flying but she understood that airlines were a mans world. although women like emelia earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a job as a pilot .but she had another idea. most people were afraid of flying because flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel. there were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and b.a.t. agreed.the young woman from iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses. at first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. in 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. the early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and thin. when a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. it was hard job and not well paid. they worked long hours and earned 1 an hour.in the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. they are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.46. the last sentence of the first paragraph suggests
