boy, Churchill was considered a slow learner in school.
Later he entered the Army and saw action in various countries.
In October 1900, Churchill began his political career. For the next sixty years Churchill"s work as a great
politician was both brighter and more difficult than his father had been.
In 1939, Germany attacked Poland. Churchill prepared to fight. In 1940 he became the Prime Minster of
England.
France fell. The Germans fought their way through Western Europe. It looked as if Britain was about to
lose the war. Was it not possible to ask for peace, and listen to Hitler?
Churchill spoke, "I have nothing to offer but blood, hard work, tears and sweat (汗)...You ask what is our
policy (政策)? I will tell you, it is to fight, by sea, by land and air, with all our force and with all the strength
that God can give us. You ask what is our aim? I can answer in one word: victory."
The Germans began moving their armies to the French coast and prepared to go to war with the British.
The British had not enough guns to go round. Churchill gave the answer:"We shall defend our island, whatever
the cost may be, we shall fight on the coasts, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the field
and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never give up."
By his courage and hard work Churchill heartened his people and other nations fighting together against
Hitler. Victory finally came when the Germans lost World War Ⅱ.
Churchill died in 1965 and was given a State Funeral (国葬). This was a fitting payment to one of all the
greatest men the world had ever seen.

so when this show business thing doesn"t work out, you"ll have something to rely on." Mary responded in
typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a
typing course," she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently,
when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom, "I don"t know how to use a
computer," she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress
and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病): All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there
was a need for a book like this," she says. "I didn"t want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that
things get better when we"re self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."
But she hasn"t always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40
years ago, when she received two pieces of Iife-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying
and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a
box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up-again-and take control
of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her
addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses
to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, "why me?" about something or other," she insists. "It doesn"t
do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make
things better by helping others. I"ve come to realize the importance of that as I"ve grown up this second time.
I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."
B. She didn"t take care of her mother.
C. She didn"t complete her high school.
D. She didn"t follow her mother"s advice.
B. received many career awards
C. knew how to use a computer
D. supported the JDRF by writing
B. successful show business
C. service for an organization
D. remembrance of her mother
B. began a balanced diet
C. tried to get a treatment
D. behaved in an adult way
B. Mary has recovered from her disease.
C. Mary wants to help others as much as possible.
D. Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.
first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world"s first automobile. Many
people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car"s parts to the worker, instead of
making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind
before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people"s ideas and make them better. And he made the
whole factory a moving production line.
In the early days of the automobile, almost every ear maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining
public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford"s most famous race was his first one. It was also
the last race in which he drove the car himself.
The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were
left: the Winton and Ford"s. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over
before it began.
The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain.
And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared
in newspapers and he became well-known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford
formed a new automobile company. In the 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.
That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford"s dream. Ford said:"I will build a motor car for the great mass of
people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will
be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the
simplest plans that modem engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money
will be unable to own one."
The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend
on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers, even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest
form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of
Model T"s were built in the first few years.
B. He produced the first car in the world.
C. He knew how to improve auto parts.
D. He invented the production line.
B. To draw public attention.
C. To learn about new technology.
D. To raise money for his new company.
B. the sale of Model T to the mass of people
C. the selling of a car to a Detroit doctor
D. the sales target for the Ford Company
B. Building racing cars of simple design.
C. Designing more car models.
D. Starting more companies.
win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.
Born in September, 1987, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies" two daughters. Along with nine other
children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was
one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.
Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When
World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities (设备) to help save the
lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in
France and Belgium. Her services were recognized in the form of a Military"s Medal by the French
government.
In 1918, Irene became her mother"s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot
joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and
were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.
Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize,
along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her
work with radioactivity (辐射能). Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.
B. Because she contributed to saving the wounded.
C. Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic.
D. Because she worked as a helper to her mother.
B. At the University of Paris.
C. At a military hospital.
D. At the College of Sevigne.
B. In 1927.
C. In 1897.
D. In 1926.

lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying
that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain". In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from
his family-both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama
(戏剧) and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding
an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received
favorably at the beginning. He didn"t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats"s poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter
includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he
brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which
led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing
almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now his valued as a
manor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works
between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats"s death in 1939, W.H. Auden wrote, among others, the following
lines:
Earth, recive an honoured guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel (船) lie
Emptied of its poetry
B. It was shocked by Yeats"s choice.
C. It was a typically wealthy family.
D. It had an artistic atmosphere.
B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.
C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.
D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.
B. Sympathy
C. Emptiness
D. Admiration
B. Yeats"s historical influence
C. Yeats"s artistic ambition
D. Yeats"s national honor
Miller"s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the "Great American
Dream". However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great
Depression of the early l930s.
Miller"s most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its
aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In
Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with his worth. Willy is "burnt out"
and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he can"t do the work, then he is no good
to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at loss as to what
to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony
Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the
first play to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the
56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.
B. He was attracted by the"Great American Dream.
C. He hoped to make his son a dramatist.
D. His family business failed.
B. discusses the ways to get promoted in a company
C. talks about the business career of Arthur Miller
D. focuses on the skills in doing business
B. He runs the Wagner Company.
C. He is a victim of the American system.
D. He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.
B. won the first Tony Award
C. was warmly welcomed by salesmen
D. was severely attacked by dramatists
B. The awards Arthur Miller won.
