Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official(高官), was put into prison(监狱) for taking money. At the same time, his father became seriously ill. From that time on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There, he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books, although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published(出版) using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success. This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q(1921), made LuXun a leading Chinese writer. Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about Chinas future. In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote(致力于) himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He was forced (被迫)to write his articles using false names(假名).Since his death in 1936, Lu Xuns importance and influence have grown. Today, many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world. 46. Which of the following greatly influenced Lu Xuns writing according to the passage? A. The people he met in Japan. B. The experiences in his early life C. Working as a teacher in Beijing. D. His fathers being put into prison.47. According to the passage, why was Lu Xuns story Diary of a Madman so popular? A. It was based on Lu Xuns diary. B. It was written using a western style. C. Its story took place in modern times. D. It was the first novel using everyday language.48. The underlined word “This” in paragraph 4 refers to(是指) _. A. the success of Diary of a MadmanB. the use of everyday language C. the first Chinese novel D. The True Story of Ah Q 49. After moving to Shanghai, Lu Xun mainly wrote _. A. funny storiesB. articles about himself C. articles against the government D. stories about government officials50. In what order did these events take place in Lu Xuns life?a. The government stopped him from publishing books.b. He wrote Diary of a Madman. c. His father became ill.d.

You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置)which uses satellites(卫星)to find the users position. It can find your position to within 20 meters. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are. GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put it in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane and so on. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting (环绕运行)the Earth. The receiver contacts (联系)at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算)its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and will never be lost again. 51.
