I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up. “You cant say its not a great university, just because Papa went there.” “Thats not it at all. And it is a top university. ”She was stillholding the pieces in her hand. “But we cant afford to send you to college.” “I wouldnt dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things arent that bad, are they?” “No,” she said. “I dont expect you to help support us.” Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop, His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my Parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns. Whats more , they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful ；otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly. I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief inmy power to go what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship（奖学金）.My father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.1.The author was not allowed to go to Cornell University mainly becauseA.his father graduated from the universityB.his mother did not thinks it is a great universityC.his parents needed him to help support the familyD.his parents did not have enough money for him2.The father started his small shop with the money fromA.a local league B.his universityC.his relatives D.his college friends3.Why did the mother renew her membership in the league?A.To help with her husbands business B.To raise money for her sonC.To meet her long-forgotten friends D.To better manage her life4.According to the text, what was the author determined to do in that autumn?A.To get a well-paid job for himselfB.To improve relations with his motherC.To go to his dream universityD.To carry on with his fathers business B Coolest Hotels in the WorldAriau Amazon TowersThe Ariau Amazon Towers hotel lets you sleep in a tree house.

All we assume (猜测) is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words. The power of words, then, lies in their associationsthe things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style (文体). Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use then correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.9. We learn from the text that language might have begun with _.A. expressions B. actions C. signs D. sounds10. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A. The learning of new words. B. The importance of old words.C. The relation of human experience with words. D. The gradual change and development of words.11. In the last paragraph, what does the author suggest that we should do?A. Use words skillfully. B. Make musical speeches. C. Learn poems by heart. D. Associate with listeners.D Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车). But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the worlds first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a cars parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other peoples ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line. In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Fords most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself. The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Fords. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.: The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well-knownall over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.Thatsalewas the beginning of Henry Fords dream. Ford said: I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough forone person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be builtwith the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one. The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model Ts were built in the first few years.12、What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?A.He made good use of ideas from others.B.He produced the first car in the world.C.He knew how to improve auto parts.D.He invented the production line.13、Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?A.To show off his driving skills.
