Over the course of his long and amazing career, W. Somerset Maugham( 1874-1965) achieved great success as a novelist and a playwright. Not happy with just being a writer, Maugham was also a spy. But this was less of a success than his writing.

Dec 15, 2016 marked 51 years since his death, and Maugham’s works have never been out of print. Of Human Bondage(1915) was his masterpiece. The title comes from the great 17th century Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza. The philosopher thought that human beings were slaves to what they wanted and needed. That’s exactly what Philip Carey, the hero of the novel, experiences.

Carey is a slave to his emotional needs. He doesn’t get much love when he is a child, so he looks for love later. After losing both his parents early in his life, Carey is raised by a paternal uncle who is emotionally cold. In his adult life, he goes from woman to woman and job to job, as he finds it a struggle to find either personal happiness or the right job for his talents. Not wanting to become a lawyer, he is eventually trained and qualified as a physician.

But true love is much harder to find. He finds that he attracts women he has no feelings for and falls in love with those who have no interest in him or, worse, try to take advantage of him. He is torn apart by the pain of his helpless love of a waitress and not being able to return the love of a young artist.

Although Maugham tried to hide it, the book is about his own life. Carey’s loveless childhood and romantic troubles were Maugham’s own. However, he managed to turn these painful details into a story that would interest readers who share his characters’ feeling.

Maugham does not just write about his life in the novel. He writes about deeply personal things in a way that speaks to everyone about their wants and needs.

1.In which field did Maugham achieve great success?

A. Politics. B. Writing.

C. Sport. D. Philosophy.

2.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A. Maugham’s works may never appear in print.

B. Maugham’s works become a big hit overnight.

C. Maugham’s works don’t top the best-seller list.

D. Maugham’s works are still popular among readers.

3.The hero, Carey, in Of Human Bondage _________.

A. is the master of his own emotions

B. thinks it’s much easier to find true love

C. has strong emotional needs for lack of love

D. rescues himself from being a slave to his needs

4.What is the article mainly about?

A. Maugham’s masterpiece. B. Maugham’s beliefs.

C. Maugham’s love for writing. D. Maugham’s popularity.

Electric vehicle sales will likely jump over the next two to three years as prices fall and more choices are made available, according to BlackRock’s global head of department investing.

Customers will have more opportunities to move away from traditional combustion engines(内燃机) to electric vehicles and their choices will not be restricted to only certain auto suppliers, Evy Hambro told CNBC’s “Squawk Box ” on Thursday.

“I think we’re at this tipping point of change,” Hambro said. “Over the next two years, we’re going to see price point of entry(入口) drop . We’re expecting to see a big lift in electric vehicle sales over the next two to three years.”

Different countries are at various stages of adopting electric vehicles, depending on regulatory environments and consumer preferences, according to Hambro. For its part, China is leading the way in many new business models around automation and electric vehicles, including in battery technology, he said.

In a bid to curb(遏制) air pollution, Beijing has aggressively pushed for new energy vehicles — that run partially or fully on electricity — through preferential policies, providing subsidies and by exercising its manufacturing(制造) power. It is also exploring autonomous driving technology.

On Wednesday, American chipmaker Nvidia signed separate deals with Chinese electric vehicle start-ups XPeng Motors, Singulato Motors and SF Motors to develop the self-driving technology, despite the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China.

“We’re seeing China increasingly open up to international business,” Hambro said. “We’re now seeing high levels of ownership, majority ownership in some industries. We’re seeing licenses being given out to specific groups ... I think really we’re seeing some change there, maybe some of these trade tensions are starting to soften.” BMW also said Wednesday that it has obtained a license to provide ride-hailing services in the Chinese city of Chengdu, making the German automaker the first foreign company to do so in China. It will face heavy competition from local players including Didi Chuxing and Meituan Dache.

1.How will electric vehicle develop in the next two or three years?

A.Decline in sales. B.Price fall.

C.Decline in ownership. D.Reduction in suppliers.

2.Why does Beijing actively promote the use of new energy vehicles?

A.To get high profits. B.For transport development.

C.To protect the environment. D.For the development of the city.

3.How does the author introduce the increasing openness of China in the last Paragraph ？

A.By making a comparison. B.By giving an example.

C.By telling a story. D.By asking questions.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.New Development Trend of Electric Vehicles in China

B.Electric Vehicle Technology Looks Forward to New Progress.

C.New Trends of International Electric Vehicle Trade.

D.Electric Vehicle Sales to ‘See a Big Lift’ Over the Next 2 to 3 Years.
