阅读理解。      As a boy, Sanders was much influenced(影响) by books about the sea, but by the age of
fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he
was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was
already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine
bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors" conversations with patients in the next room.
      During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生). "That was the happiest
time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job." In
Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver.
He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply,
and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he
was serving them.
      After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside, working under
an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunity(机会)
to go on working as a life-saver. 1. When he was a small boy, books about the sea had made Sanders want to be ___. A. a surgeon

阅读理解。     As we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of the Independence.
He wrote it in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accepted by the Congress. As a result,
he became famous.
      Born in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a brilliant student at school and almost talented lawyer later,
was much interested in politics.
     Jefferson was elected Governor of Virginia in 1779, and he was sent to France as the representative
of the American government in 1784. Sixteen years later, at the age of 57, he was elected president
after Washington and Adams.

talker in conversation but a poor speaker, was generally good-natured.
      Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom on America. As a president, he protected the right
of free speech. Interestingly enough, in his eight years as President, Jefferson never vetoed a bill which

阅读理解。     Howard Dill is a giant among giant pumpkin growers. He grew world champion pumpkins
for four years running,from 1979 to 1982,and missed winning the fifth year by a mere 5 pounds.
Today,his Dill Atlantic Giant seeds are sold worldwide to more than 50 seed companies. The
pumpkins grown from his Dill Atlantic Giant seeds commonly weigh in at over 1,000 pounds.
"I don"t have any training in genetics (遗传学)；it was all trial and error,"Dill says. He inherited
his love of pumpkins from his father and has enjoyed growing them for years.
     Dill still grows giant pumpkins, but not for competition. In the fall, visitors come to enjoy the
pumpkin patch on his 90-acre farm in Nova Scotia,Canada. He plants ten acres of pumpkins for
Halloween and two acres of giant pumpkins. One of giant pumpkins was recently baked into 442
pumpkin pies and sold at $ 5 each for charity.
     It you want to try growing a giant pumpkin, Dill recommends starting with a soil test and then
adding fertilizer as needed. Plant the giant pumpkin seed. A giant pumpkin can gain 15 to 20 pounds
a day, so careful watering-every day or two-is essential. You should wait about 130 days until the
pumpkin matures and then you can harvest it.
     Dill"s favorite pumpkin set the Guinness Book record in 1981. It weighted 493.5 pounds. "I"ve
grown them larger since, but that one meant a lot, "he remembers. "I never would have predicted
ten years ago that there would be a 1,000-pounder,but there are many of them now,"says Dill.The
2006 world record holder is Larry Checkon of Pennsylvania. He grew a 1,469 pounder. Dill says,
