单选题On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.
It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked, "I have failed again". On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, "That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed".
Some newspapers at first criticized the speech, but little by little as people redid the speech they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.
Today, every American school child learns Lincoln"s Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.

单选题{{B}}Passage 35{{/B}}
It seems that beauty and women are
twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood
TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers and the streets. Whether they
have realized it or not, women are besieged (包围) by a sea of fashion. They are
taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their
charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and
youth? But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to
show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be
more beautiful and attractive than their looks. (35) {{U}}A woman who has
experienced many troubles and may be called "aunt" or "granny" can still
maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a
kind heart, great courage and concern for others.{{/U}} In
addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are {{U}}relative{{/U}} concepts. A
person who keeps a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and
eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have
a type of beauty, which is pure and real. Reading and learning
is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are fertile soil which can feed
the flower of one's heart and looks.
