单选题{{B}}E{{/B}} Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man arc still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society, and was reading English literature. At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian cap ital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.

单选题Why do people read the newspaper? Some people read it for entertainment; they enjoy sections like the comics or sports. Others look for things to buy or sell; they might look mostly at the advertisements. Most people, though, read the newspapers for news! The news is reported in news stories, which can be found throughout the newspaper. Unlike the comics or the advertisements, news stories report facts. In this article, you will learn some hints about how to get the most ont of a new story. Many news stories have the following elements: headline, by-line, dateline, and the lead. The headline, which is above the story, tells what the story is about. The size of the headline depends on the importance of the news — important news would get a large, bold-typed (粗体打印 ) headline. The by-line tells who wrote the story. Not all news stories have by-lines. The date- line, which some news stories don't have, usually names the place where the story came from or where the news happened and the date on which it happened. The lead is the first paragraph; it gives the most important details in the story by telling who, where, when, why and how.

单选题I was addressing and stamping envelops (信封) when I found there were no stamps left. "I have some in here," my daughter said as she reached for her Bible (圣经). "It just shows that if you need help, turn to the Bible." I said. "I also keep my household money (家用钱) in here," she replied. "It's a good place to hide things. The ones who do open the Bible wouldn't steal from it, and the ones who would steal never open it./

单选题 In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, for example, lack of housing, and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty (贫穷), disease and crime. The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the floating of large numbers of people from the {{U}}rural{{/U}} areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the life of fanning, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay. One possible way to deal with the problem would be enforcing a registration system (推行登记制度). Only officially registered people would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce; it would cause a great deal of anger, which would finally lead to violence (暴力). The only long-term solution (解决办法) is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life.

单选题A man was mending a street lamp when he saw a pretty young woman and three children get into a car which was in the garden of a house near him. He saw that the car had a flat tyre, and tried to warn the woman, but it was too late-she was already driving the car out of the garden, and into the busy street. When she had got there, she stopped the car at the side of the street, got out and looked at the flat tyre. The children stayed in the car. Very soon another car stopped, and the driver offered to help her. The young woman accepted his offer, and the man changed the tyre for her. When she had thanked him and he had gone, she drove the car back into the garden, got out with the children and went back to her work in the house -with clean hands.

单选题Museums have changed a lot. They are no longer places that people "should go" but places people enjoy. At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the children's museum in New York, you can play an African drum. There are no "Do Not Touch" signs in many museums in the USA. More and more museum directors have realized that people can learn best when they become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, visitors are encouraged to touch, listen, operate and experiment so that they can discover scientific rules for themselves. The purpose is not only to interest the visitors, but also help them feel at home in the world of science. If people don't understand science, they will be afraid of it; and if they are afraid of science, they will not make the best use of it. One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and spare time. Another cause is the growing number of young people in the population. Many of them are college students or college graduates. They see things in quite a new different way. They want art in which they can take part. The same is true of science and history. The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new, modern museums. There are more than 6 000 museums in the United States and Canada, almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago.
