Michael Faraday was the son of a blacksmith. There were four children in his family and，with his father often ill and unable to work，Michael Faraday had to earn his living from an early age. This meant little or no schooling. However，the family belonged to a religious group，and Faraday learnt to read and write at Sunday School.
When he was only fourteen，Faraday found a job as a bookbinder（装订工）.He used to read the books he was given to bind and he became very interested in the scientific books，particularly the ones about electricity. His interest soon took a practical path and he began conducting his own experiments. These were very basic because Faraday had to make all of his equipment himself. However，he was very careful and kept a clear written record of all his findings.
One day he was given an entrance ticket to the Royal Institute chemistry lecture，given by Humphry Davy. Determined to work for this great scientist，he sent Davy a job application and included his laboratory reports on the experiments he had carried out. In 1813 Davy offered Faraday a job as one of his laboratory assistants. Faraday learnt quickly and soon was recognized as a very able analytical chemist. Later he went to work at the Royal Institute.
Michael Faraday was，perhaps，the greatest practical scientist of the 19th century. As a chemist，he discovered the benzene（苯），which is now the focal point of chemical study. He also proved the relationship between electricity and chemical bonding（化学键合）.As a physicist，he invented the dynamo，which led to the later invention of the electric motor. He also discovered the effect of magnetism（磁）on light rays.
1.Why did Faraday attend Sunday School?
A. He had to work for a bookbinder at weekdays.
B. He hoped to read many of the scientific books there.
C. He would like to learn religious knowledge.

In a research carried out in the UK, it was found that only four out of every five employees were happy at work. Surprisingly, it wasn’t the pay or the love for the work that made people happy. Instead, friendly, supportive colleagues and a good manager have been found to be the primary causes of happiness at work. So how do you develop a sense of joy on the job? Here are some suggestions.
Happiness is a state of mind, so staying happy at work is completely based on a positive attitude towards your job. Focus on the bright side of the work rather than keep talking about what makes you unhappy.
Challenge yourself and take charge of your own growth in your career. Boredom is one of the primary factors that cause people to change jobs. Find new challenges and it’s a great feeling to take control over what you do and see a task through.
Having coworkers you like and enjoy working with is a feature of happiness in the workplace. Talk to people, get to know them and try to get along well with them in the workplace. Meeting new people and getting fresh views can help you to keep yourself interested in your work.
Complete your tasks, no matter how disagreeable or tough they might be. This gives you a sense of achievement and encourages you to work towards your goals in future.
Sitting and staring at your screen all day long isn’t going to help you. Instead, take breaks and go outside for some time. For example, go out for a few minutes to feel the breeze (微风). Eat your lunch outside or work for a few minutes during that hour, which helps you stay happy at work.
1.Which of the following is a main cause of happiness at work?
A. One’s love for the work.
B. Having a good manager.
C. Having many supporters.
D. The pay one gets from work.
2.Why does the author advise us to keep challenging ourselves at work?
A. To do our work more creatively.
B. To learn from new experiences.
C. To avoid feeling bored in the work place.
D. To prove that we have the ability to do the task.
3.The passage is written for___________.
A. general workers
B. new graduates from universities
C. those working on computers
D. people working in big companies

Cyril was a small town. The houses there were all made of wood; almost everything in the houses such as cupboards, tables and chairs were made of wood, too. And all the houses faced south. The town was never peaceful. Fire broke out once a week on summer afternoons. Residents were puzzled who the real firebug(纵火犯) was.
One day a big fire broke out. It was said that a Negro had jumped out of the house on fire, so the police arrested(逮捕) all the Negroes in the street. However, fire never stopped to breaking out when the Negroes were in prison.
Mauson, a physics teacher didn’t believe that the Negroes were the firebugs, for he really knew about those Negroes, He made up his mind to find out who the real firebug was.
One day he was invited to drink in a pub and happened to notice that many bottles and plastic plates were baked by the hot sunrays. Suddenly he realized what the actual fact was. He jumped with joy, saying, “I’ve got the answer!”
Mauson dashed out of the pub to his friend’s house nearby, which also faced south. He made an experiment there to confirm his idea.
The next Saturday afternoon, Mauson asked some policemen and newsmen to come to the house. They were told that the real firebug would be shown there. At that time the sun was shining full into the house and it became hotter and hotter inside the room.
Someone wanted to draw the curtains together, while another was going to use a bottle to drink water, but neither got permission from Mauson, who wanted to let the firebug in.
“Now,” said Mauson, “this house will soon catch fire.” People looked at each other in surprise. Mauson asked them to look at the bottles and focus on the table cloth. After a while the cloth gave off a burning smell and began to catch fire!
The mystery of fire was discovered, but the police wouldn’t believe him and insisted that Negroes had been the firebugs. Instead they arrested Mauson and put him into prison. But Mauson said he would never turn against science.

Next morning, there was no wind and we were half a mile from the eastern coast of the island. Although the sun shone bright and hot, I hated the thought of Treasure Island, afraid of what would happen there.
Guns were given to all the honest men. Hunter, Joyce, and Redruth were told what was happening, and were less surprised than we expected them to be. Then the captain went on deck to talk to the crew.
They all became happier at once. I think they thought they would find the treasure lying around on the beach! After some talk, six men stayed on board, and the others, with Silver, got into the small boats.
I then had the first of the mad ideas that help ed to save our lives. If six men were left, we could not take control of the ship; and because only six were left, the captain’s men did not need my help. So I quickly went over the ship’s side and into the nearest boat.
No one took much notice of me, only one man saying, “Is that you, Jim?” But Silver called from the other boat, wanting to know if it was me. Then I began to worry if I had done the right thing.
The crews rowed to the beach and our boat arrived first. I ran towards the trees. Silver and the rest were a hundred metres behind, and I heard him shouting, “Jim, Jim!” But I took no notice, pushing through trees and bushes, and ran until I could run no longer.
I was pleased to lose Long John and began to enjoy looking around this strange island. I crossed wet ground and came to a long, open piece of sand, then went on to a place where the trees had branches that were thick and close to the sand.
Just then I heard distant voices, Silver’s among them, and hid behind a tree. Through the leaves, I saw Long John Silver and another of the crew talking together.
“I’m warning you because I’ m your friend, Tom,” Silver was saying.
“Silver,” said Tom: “You’re old and you’re honest, or so men say; and you’ve money, too, which lots of poor seamen haven’t. And you’re brave. Why let yourself be led away with that kind of scoundrel? I’d rather die than—”
Suddenly, there was a noise of distant shouting, then a long horrible scream. I had found one honest man here, and that terrible, distant scream told me of another．
“John!” said Tom: “What was that?”
“That?” replied Silver. His eyes shone like pieces of broken glass in the sun: “That’ll be Alan.”
“Alan!” cried poor Tom: “An honest and true seaman! John Silver, you’ve been a friend of mine, but for no longer. You’ve killed Alan, have you? Then kill me, too, if you can!”
The brave man turned his back on Silver and began to walk back to the beach. With a shout, Silver threw his crutch through the air. It hit poor Tom between the shoulders, and he fell to the ground with a cry.
1.Why did all the men become excited when they got close to the island?
A. The weather was turning rather hot．
B. They could get help on the island．

D. Hidden treasures would be uncovered．

One day，four lawyers were riding their horses along a country road. There had been a rain. Water was dripping (滴) from the trees，and the grass was wet. They rode slowly，talking and laughing. Suddenly they heard some noises from the tree above them. “What is the matter?” asked the first lawyer. “Oh, it's only some old birds!” said the second lawyer. “The storm made one of the babies fall out of the nest. It is too young to fly, and the mother bird is very worried.” “What a pity! It’ll die down there in the grass,” said the third lawyer. “It doesn't matter. It's only a bird,” said the second lawyer. Then they rode on, talking and laughing as before. But the fourth lawyer, whose name was Abraham Lincoln, stopped. He got down from his horse and took the little one in his big warm hands.
“Never mind, my little fellow ,” said Mr. Lincoln. “I will put you back in your little nest.” He climbed up the tree and put the bird softly into their warm little home. A few minutes later, Mr. Lincoln joined them again. His shoes were covered with mud and he was wet. Then the other three laughed at him. They thought it was foolish for a strong man to do so much just for a young bird. “Gentlemen,” said Mr. Lincoln, “I could not sleep tonight if I had left the helpless bird in the grass.” Later Abraham Lincoln became very famous as a lawyer.
