When the Farnsworth family moved to their new farm in 1919, eleven-year-old Philo was surprised to find it wired for electricity. This unusual circumstance contributed to his fate — to become an important inventor of the twentieth century.
By thirteen, Farnsworth had become a self-taught electrical engineer. He was able to fix the farm’s generator（发电机）when none of the adults could. In 1922, he read an article about a new idea of John Baird, a Scottish scientist, who had been working with the cathode ray tube (阴极射线管) for the transmission of electronic pictures and wanted to attempt it himself.
Farnsworth studied everything he could find on the subject. Although many older engineers with money backers were already developing television, Farnsworth made a bold decision — he was going to perfect a working model of it before anybody else.
In college, Farnsworth continued his research with cathode ray and vacuum tubes, but the death of his father, the only money maker in the family, forced him to give up this research and find a job. His first job was for George Everson, with whom Farnsworth discussed his dream of television. While acknowledging the achievements of those who came before, Farnsworth thought that he could get closer. Everson agreed to risk $6,000 for the research.
Backers came in 1927 to see the first American television, one year after Baird’s. They were astonished to see the image of a single white line resolve itself on the screen before them, and agreed that this new invention was worth putting money into.
In 1930, Farnsworth won a patent (专利权) for his all-electronic TV. By the time he died, he had earned over 300 American and foreign patents for electronic and mechanical devices.
1.When Farnsworth was at a young age, he _______
A. had to drop out of school to help on the family farm
B. was sent to school to study electrical engineering
C. wanted to be the first person to invent the television
D. had shown a surprising ability in the electrical field
2.What difficulty did Farnsworth meet when he first began his research on the television?
A. His parents didn’t support his work.
B. He didn’t have enough knowledge in this field.
C. He didn’t have enough money for his research.
D. No one was interested in this research.
3.How old was Philo Farnsworth when he invented the first American television?
A. 11. B. 13. C. 19. D. 22.
4.From the passage, we can learn that Farnsworth is ______.
A. the first person who worked for the transmission of electronic pictures
B. an inventor who improved on somebody else’s idea
C. an inventor who always came up with an original idea
D. a person who earned over 300 American patents for electronic devices

Sunaian’s family left India and moved to the UK when she was 13. She had to start a new school...
I remember it really well. My parents drove me to the school and said goodbye to me. I took a deep breath and walked into the school.
I didn’t know what to feel. I was excited and scared and a bit nervous, all at the same time. There were lots of other kids around. They were already in groups of friends, but none of them said hello or anything. It was a strange feeling for me, like I didn’t really belong there. I wanted to be somewhere else, but that wasn’t possible.
The first thing I had to do was register, so I went to a room in the school that had a sign saying “Administration”. Suddenly, I felt like I was some kind of criminal. They started asking me all kinds of questions. Then I went off to my first class.
My first class. Wow, that was horrible. Perhaps it was because my hair or clothes were different, but everyone just looked at me in such a strange way. And just like when I arrived, no one came to talk to me. Incredibly, that’s never happened: no one has even taken the time to get to know me or like me. I have friends because I made the first move to meet people.
Maybe the worst class that day, though, was Science. The teacher wasn’t too bad. She introduced me to the class and showed me where to sit. But the other students? Well, they looked at me like I was a guinea pig or something they were going to use for an experiment. I hated every minute.
Then there was a break and I went to sit somewhere alone, missing my mum and dad. But I thought they’d want me to keep trying, so I tried to be more positive in the next class. Not so good, though. Everyone talked to other students, but I sat by myself. At the end of the day, I couldn’t wait to get out of there.
But, as time passed, things have got better. Now I’m doing fine and I get OK grades. I’ve learned lots of things — but not what the teachers teach. I’ve learned that I’m strong and brave. I’ve learned that I will succeed even if some things aren’t the way I want them to be.
1.From the passage, we can learn that ______.
A.Sunaina was well received upon the arrival at school
B.Sunaina was treated as a criminal in the register department.
C.Nobody wanted to waste time getting to know Sunaina at first.
D.Other students’ hair and clothes were similar to Sunaina in her class.
2.What made Sunaina think Science the worst class that day?
A.The Science teacher’s quality and qualification.
B.The way the other students looked at Sunaina.
C.The way the teacher introduced Sunaina to the class.
D.The other students’ thinking of using Sunaina for an experiment.
3.Which of the following is suitable to describe Sunaina?
A.Weak and scary. B.Tough and courageous.
C.Sensitive and shy. D.Generous and outgoing.
4.What does the story intend to tell us?
A.What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
B.A life without a friend is a life without a sun.
C.Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.
D.A good word is warm in winter, but a bad word hurts in June.

When my family moved to the United States from Colombia, I was 9 years old and knew little about English. As time passed, teachers finally knew all of their students and and everyone began to adapt to the life, except for me. No one called out my name, and no one seemed to know I existed. I spent the next month in my new classroom quietly. I felt that fear, loneliness and sadness came over me.
The school never cared that I didn't speak English, but something else was teaching me English. Every morning when my aunt drove me to school and picked me up, she always had 106.7 Light FM(私家车广播)on. It was this station that introduced my young ears to the English sounds.
Because of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, I learned the difference between "witch" and "which". While watching the TV show South Park, I was attracted by the funny characters. In fact, thanks to pop culture, the world of English became available to me while it was being turned down at school.
I also learned how to express my emotions thanks to pop culture. One day at school, we were taking a math quiz and the whole class was quiet. Suddenly, the tip of my pencil broke and I yelled, "My Jesus! " Everyone held their breath in surprise and I laughed to myself because something at that moment told me I had just learned my first bad word in English.

When we arrived, we walked toward the store. But I found Adam had fallen silent — his s
tare falling on something further down the street.There an old man sat by the store entrance, begging. His gray sweater had many holes exposing a dirty T-shirt. He sat with his back to the wall, his hands cupped around an empty hat.
“Can I have my dollar, daddy?” I pulled a dollar and handed it to Adam and thought he would use it to buy his candy. “Thank you, daddy.” He went away and I went on to choose something we needed.

While I was on my way to Walmart, I was greeted by an elder woman who was working at the door as a greeter, I had a return to make so she stopped me and asked to tag my bag. Usually I would have gotten annoyed because I know I don’t steal, so why does my bag need to be tagged? I’d just witnessed someone ahead of me being not so nice, and treating the lady like she was a nobody. I could see this lady looked to be at retirement age, trying to make ends meet. The look on her face and the energy she gave was that of someone afraid and not knowing where they stood in life. Not to mention the person ahead of me who’d just snatched(夺) a bag back from her and stormed off without even saying thank you. I could tell this woman was hurt by that, and no one knows how many people had been treating her that way all day long.
What if she was a grandmother who’d recently taken care of her grandchildren for whatever season? What if her husband she had to support recently fell sick and they couldn’t afford the medical expenses, so she had to go back to work? What if she just lost everything she had in her retirement and now she had to go back to work?
All she wants is to do her job and do it well. All she wants is to serve customers the way she was trained. All she needs is to be appreciated. Can I be that someone she needs, just for the moment?
I looked her in her eyes as she scanned my bag, smiled and said, “Your hair is beautiful and fits you well!” Her face lit up and she smiled back and began to tell me how much easier it is to manage. It was salt-and-pepper hair and was cut in the prettiest style. She handed my bag back, smiled and told me the service desk was straight down to my left. I said “Thank you!”
1.At the door of Walmart, the old woman_____.
A．asked every customer for money to feed her family

A．didn’t understand why the old woman did such a job
