Johnson nodded his smooth, dark head. That was something he knew very well. “Ive never seen anything like it,” the manager admitted. Johnson nodded again. “No?” he said politely. Then he added, “But I think you will, sir. A very great deal of it.” He appeared to think for a moment. “I think you will find it will be on sale seven, perhaps, eight years from now.” He smiled.The manager thought that was uncertain. He said, “It is better than our fish oils. I admit that.” “So I am told, sir,” agreed Johnson.“Have you any plans to produce it yourself, Mr. Johnson?” Johnson smiled again. “Would I be showing it to you if I had?” “We might add some chemicals to one of our own fish oils,” said the manager.“It would be expensive to do that, even if you could.” Johnson said gently. “Besides,” he added, “I am told that this oil will be much cheaper than your best fish oils. Cheaper than any vegetable oil, in fact.” “Perhaps,” said the manager. “Well, I suppose you want to make an arrangement, Mr Johnson, Shall we discuss it?” “Of course,” said Johnson. “There are two ways of dealing with a situation of this sort. The usual one is to prevent it altogether or at least to delay it as long as possible. That is, of course, the best way,” The manager nodded. He knew plenty about all that.“But I am so sorry for you, because, you see, that is not possible this time.” The manager had his doubts, but all he said was an inquiring, “Oh?” “The other way is to produce yourself before the trouble starts.” continued Johnson.51.

This part of Brooklyn, in New York City, has a lot of crime. More than half of its 100,000 residents rely on aid from the government. Only 50% of students at Bushwick High School graduate in four years.Some people might say, “We should help these poor kids who have so many challenges.” But Malaak Compton-Rock looks at the teens in Bushwick and says, “ Go to help kids who have even bigger challenges than you do.” She believes that once young people see the power they have to make things better, they can handle their own problems more easily. So her service group, the Angel Rock Project, took 30 Bushwick kids to Soweto, in South Africa, to help poor families there. Soweto is a township outside the city of Johannesburg. The effort, called Journey for Change, aims to show that any kid can change the world.“Kids in Bushwick face pressure to drop out of school or become involved in gangs and drugs.” Says Compton-Rock. “We want them to live a life of purpose and service.”In Soweto, many parents have died of AIDS, a deadly disease. When that happens, a grandparent or a child must lead the family. The Bushwick volunteers helped such families. They tended vegetable gardens, cared for babies and bought groceries.“The saddest thing was when we visited an orphanage (孤儿院) and I helped a little boy who had been abandoned because he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS,” says Queen Clyde, 12. “Its been good to be on this trip. But whats also important is what we do when its finished. Thats what counts.” “ I never appreciated what I had until I saw some people who had nothing,” says Sadara Lewis, 12 “Its really changed my attitude. I want to make a difference.”The trip was two weeks long. But the kids, aged 12 to 15, will spend all year speaking about their experience, fund-raising and more.55. Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Bushwick is the poorest place in New York City.B. Bushwick still needs more care from the government.C. It is children who suffer most in New York City.D. Children in Bushwick are living in a bad situation.56. Compared to Bushwick kids, some children in Soweto _.A. may have bigger challenges B. receive no care from the governmentC. are much more independent D. are able to lead the family57. According to the passage, “Journey for Change” can be best seen as the saying “_”.A. God helps those who help themselves B. saying and doing are two thingsC. one stone kills two birds D. a friend in need is a friend indeed58. From the passage we know that _.A. there are few students in Bushwick High SchoolB. the trip to Soweto will have a long influence in spite of its short time.C. most children are suffering from AIDS in SowetoD. kids with HIV will be abandoned in Soweto C Let children learn to judge their own workA child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talkingHe notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him useBit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoplesIn the same way, children learning to do all the other things: they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changesBut in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himselfWe do it all for himWe act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made toLet him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or notIf it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer bookLet him correct his own papersWhy should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answerLet the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know59. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by _Alistening to skilled peoples adviceBasking older people many questionsCmaking mistakes and having them correctedDdoing what other people do60. Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?AGive children correct answersBAllow children to make mistakesCPoint out childrens mistakes to themDLet children mark their own work61. According to the writer, teachers in school should _Aallow children to learn from each otherBpoint out childrens mistakes whenever foundCgive children more book knowledgeDcorrect childrens mistakes as soon as possible62. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are _Adifferent from learning other skillsBthe same as learning skillsCmore important than other skillsDnot really important skillsD In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didnt consider how people would want to use the technology. Or if people really needed it in their lives or not. Lets look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.1,3,5Robot HelpersWheres the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And hes probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other Manufacturing environments.Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most peoples home.So why hasnt happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and Clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.Telephones of tomorrow?In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasnt caught on yet.Why? The technology worked fine, but it overlooked something obvious: peoples desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower?Probably not it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology is available doesnt always mean people will want to use it.And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? Its not so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring.63The whole passage is mainly about .A.predictions that have com
