They lived and worked on a farm that has been in my family for 150 years. They raised chickens for eggs, pigs and cattle for meat. Cows were kept for milk and the cream, from which Grandma made butter and cheese. What little yard they had became a garden.‎ The Depression, therefore, didn’t make much change in their lives. But it did bring an unending flow of men out of work, drifting from job to job, to the farm. The first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags. He took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadn’t eaten for a while. Grandpa stood watching him a bit , then said , “There’s a stack of firewood against the fence behind the barn (谷仓). I’ve been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence . You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch .”‎ Grandma said a surprising thing happened. The man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at once. She set another place at the table and made an apple pie. During lunch, the stranger didn’t say much, but when he left, his shoulders had straightened. “Nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect,” Grandpa later told me .‎ Soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. This one was dressed in a suit and carried a small old suitcase. Grandpa came out when he heard voices. He looked at the man and then offered a handshake.” There is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn I’ve been meaning to get it moved. It’d sure be ‎ a help to me . And we’d be pleased to have you stay for lunch.” The fellow set his suitcase aside and neatly laid his coat on top. Then he set off to work.‎ Grandma says she doesn’t remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those Depression days-or how many times that stack of wood got moved.‎ ‎21．When he was asked to move a stack of firewood, the first man who asked for a meal got a shine in his eyes for he was glad that .‎ ‎ A．he had found a good job B．he would have something to eat ‎ ‎ C．he would no longer suffer from the Depression ‎ D．he would get what he wanted without losing his self-respect ‎ ‎22．The writer’s grandfather asked those jobless men to move the stack of firewood because .‎ ‎ A．he didn’t want them to have a meal free of charge ‎ ‎ B．he had been needing to get it moved ‎ ‎ C．he wanted to help them in his own way ‎ ‎ D．he wanted to show them his kindness and respect ‎ ‎23．The writer’s grandfather was all of the following but .‎ ‎ A．kind B．thoughtful C．wealthy D．sympathetic ‎ ‎24．The best title for the story would be .‎ ‎ A．The Depression B．The Pleasure of Helping Others ‎ C．No Pains , No Gains D．Work-A Part of Living ‎ B Everyone knows that the French are romantic, the Italian are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Or do they? Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?‎ At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (实业家) in the UK found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public .‎ Britain is hostile to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy (嫉妒) . As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and ‎ misunderstood”. Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green-eyed monster” and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those given a little money were given the chance to destroy the large amounts of money given to others—but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.‎ This seems to prove the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recently reported that the UK was now the world’s fourth largest economy .That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.‎ ‎“It’s not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a Professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems arrogant (傲慢) or unfair or which separates them from their roots .”‎ Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them. It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.‎ ‎25．What does the underlined “it” in the second paragraph refer to?‎ ‎ A．One group of people B．A great survey C．National character D．A nation ‎ ‎26．Most entrepreneurs surveyed believe that ‎ ‎ A．they are not popular simply because they are successful ‎ ‎ B．the British public are hardworking ‎ ‎ C．love of success is Britain’s national character ‎ ‎ D．they are considered as “green-eyed monsters”‎ ‎27．What does the result of the Warwich University test show?‎ ‎ A．Two thirds of the people tested didn’t love money ‎ B．Most people would rather fail than see others succeed ‎ ‎ C．An imaginary amount of money does not attract people ‎ ‎ D．Most people are willing to enjoy success with others ‎ ‎28．The writer of the passage seems to suggest that .‎ ‎ A．jealousy is Britain’s national character B．British entrepreneurs are not fairly treated ‎ ‎ C．the scientists are Warwich University did a successful test ‎ D．the British dislike the entrepreneurs because they do not behave properly C A Battery’s Worst Nightmare (噩梦)‎ Portable electronics that can be carried about easily are only as good as their batteries and , let’s face it , batteries aren’t very good , especially when compared with , say , petrol , which packs 100 times a battery’s energy into an equal space . That’s why a large group of mechanical engineers (centered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but with partners at other universities and companies) are hard at work in an effort to replace batteries with a tiny engine that runs on fuel. Imagine a battery-free life! When the fuel runs out in your laptop or mobile phone, you just fill up and go.‎ The engine—about the size of a ten-cent coin-starts with a combustion chamber (燃烧室) that burns hydrogen (氢). Its tiny parts are etched onto silicon wafers (硅片) in the same manner that computer parts are imprinted onto integrated circuits (集成电路). The first engine is made up of five wafers. And since these wafers could be produced in much the same way as computer chips, they could probably be produced quite cheaply.‎ But the devil in all this nice detail is efficiency (效率). Tiny engine parts don’t always behave like their scaled-up parts of the first engine. Something between the parts can slow down the works, according to Columbia University professor Luc Frechette, one of the engine’s designers. Extreme heat from the combustion chamber is also a problem, often leaking to other parts of the engine.‎ The scientists’ goal is to create an engine that will operate at 10 percent ‎ efficiency—that is, 10 times better than batteries operate. Frechette says that a complete system , with all parts of place and working , will be set up in the next couple of years , but commercial models aren’t likely until at least the end of the next ten years .‎ ‎29．According to the passage, the title suggests that ‎ ‎ A．batteries should be greatly improved B．petrol will be used instead of batteries ‎ ‎ C．the time of batteries will be gone forever D．pollution caused by batteries must be solved ‎ ‎30．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “devil” in paragraph 3?‎ ‎ A．problem B．advantage C．invention D．technique ‎ ‎31．What can we infer from the passage?‎ ‎ A．The new invention doesn’t need any fuel.‎ ‎ B．The new engine has been produced in quantity.‎ ‎ C．The new invention is much cheaper than the battery.‎ ‎ D．The new engine needs to be improved before it’s on sale ‎ ‎32．What is the main purpose of this passage?‎ ‎ A．To introduce a new invention to readers. B．To persuade readers not to use batteries.‎ ‎ C．To show us how the new invention works. D．To declare when the engine will be on sale.‎ D Tales From Animal Hospital ‎ David Grant ‎ David Grant has become a familiar face to millions of fans of Animal Hospital.
