单选题Steveland Morris is a household name in America. Ask Steveland Morris and he'll tell you that blindness is not necessarily disabling. Steveland was born prematurely(过早地，不到期地) and totally without sight in 1950s. He became Stevie Wonder—composer, singer, and pianist. The winner of ten Grammy awards, Stevie is widely acclaimed(喝采) for his outstanding contributions to the music world. As a child, Stevie learned not to think about the things he could not do, but to concentrate on the things that he could do. His parents encouraged him to join his sighted brothers in as many activities as possible. They also helped him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the usually disabled are so dependent. Because sound was so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with different kinds of sound. He would bang things together and then imitate the sound with his voice. Often relying on sound for entertainment, he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica(口琴), and listened to the radio. Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments. He first learned to play the drams. He then mastered the harmonica and the piano. He became a member of the junior church choir(唱诗班) and a lead singer. In the evening and on weekends, Stevie would play different instruments and sing popular rhythm and blues tunes on the front porches (走廊)of neighbors' homes. One of Stevie's sessions was overheard by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing group called The Miracles. Ronnie immediately recognized Stevie's talent and took him to audition(试听) for Berry Gordy, the president of Hitsville USA, a large recording company now known as Motown. Stevie recorded his first smash hit "Fingertips" in 1962 at age twelve, and the rest of Stevie's story is music history.

单选题Over two hundred years ago, Adam Smith introduced some ideas which brought about a world revolution. If we enjoy a high standard of living in modern society, we owe much to this Scottish economist and philosopher. If we enjoy driving in beautiful cars, wearing fashionable shoes, or flying away to distant places for exciting holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man who made it all possible. What was Adam Smith's contribution? Like so many ideas which have surprising effects, his was a simple one. He watched workers practising their craft of pin making. One man would heat the strip of metal, stretch it out, cut off an appropriate length, shape it, cool it and finally smooth and shine it. Smith drew attention to the advantages which could be gained if these various tasks were performed by different workers. Let one be responsible for preparing the metal. Another for stretching and cutting. Another for shaping. Another for finishing. He described the technique as the Division of Labour; in this way workers re-peat the same actions again and again. Smith convinced the world that specialisation could solve the problem of poverty and want. What was the result? The Industrial Revolution. Productivity was greatly increased. For Britain, where the revolution started, there was a prosperity which made it the richest country in the nineteenth century. British trains and railway lines spread out like a spider's web across the world. British ships were used to carry the new cargoes from one corner of the world to another. The revolution is not over. It is still with us, but now it is a worldwide phenomenon. Everywhere, factories are producing large numbers of similar products, and are in continuous production. What were called mass-production lines yesterday are called robotic productions today. The pace of change is increasing. And if these techniques have brought us prosperity, they have also brought us a little misery in overcrowded towns, boring jobs and, most of all, unemployment.

单选题Comics in America have broadened their appeal by marketing to adults. Prior to World War II , usually only adolescents bought comics. During World War I1, the comic book industry in the United States began to undergo a major change. When the war started, the government subsidized the comics industry in order to take advantage of the powerful propaganda effects, regulating them for purposes of military defense. By the time the war was over, the taste for comic books had reached the adult population. Publishers from this point on expanded this portion of the market that was to become the largest sales increase in the history of the comic industry. The editor of Exciting Comics, Ed O' Donnell, was important in extending the success of this marketing drive. Here organized comic drawing to encourage artists' innovation. The market had declined slightly since the late forties. O' Donnell, against conventions, hired adroit illustrators. He abandoned the low-cost budget publication, a step considered risky to his peers in the publication industry; however, his begin environment for artistic creation eventually proved successful. Kenny Bar was one of the artists that helped spawn the most innovative titles to come out of Exciting Comics. He insisted on revising the concept of the comic book radically; he proposed to create characters designed to capture markets that had previously not been successfully explored by comic books. This revolutionary idea laid the foundation for the now thriving market for sophisticated adult-oriented comic books.
