• 2．I remember doing the household chores to help my mother when I was nine．I hated changing the vacuum cleaner（真空吸塵器）bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up．Twenty years later，in 1978，with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked，I decided to make a bagless one．
     Easier said than done，of course．I didn't realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design，a process that resulted in 5，127 different prototypes（樣機(jī)）．By the time I made my 15th prototype，my third child was born．By 2，627，my wife and I were really counting our pennies．By 3，727，my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash，and we were getting further and further into debt．These were tough times，but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem．
     In the early 1980s，I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology．The reality was very different，however．The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters（濾網(wǎng)）．No one would license my idea，not because it was a bad one，but because it was bad for business．But soon after，the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine．I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner．
     I was still in financial difficulties until 1993，when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me ＄l million．Then I was able to go into production．Within two years，the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain．
     Today，I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process．Nothing beats the excitement of invention．
  
  （1）What drove the author to make a bagless vacuum cleaner？

  
  A．His willingness to help mom．
  B．His curiosity about machines．
  C．His trouble in doing family chores．
  D．His discontent with existing cleaners．
  （2）What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us？

  
  A．The help from the author's wife．
  B．The financial problems of the family．
  C．The tough process of the new invention．
  D．The procedures of making a bagless cleaner．
  （3）Why did the companies refuse to license the author's technology？

  
  A．They thought they might suffer loss．
  B．They considered it not good enough．
  C．They faced legal problems themselves．
  D．They had begun making such machines．
  （4）What lesson may the author learn from the experience？

  
  A．Think twice before acting．
  B．Failure is the mother of success．
  C．Actions speak louder than words．
  D．A good beginning makes a good ending．

• 3．Pigeons（鴿子）may be considered mice of the sky，but some scientists have found greater value in these urban birds：the blueprint for a new generation of flying machines．
     Birds can transform the shape of their wings by fanning out their feathers or moving them closer together．Those adjustments allow birds to cut through the sky more flexibly than rigid drones（無人機(jī)）．Now，using new insights into exactly how pigeons' joints control the spread of their wing feathers，researchers have built a robotic pigeon．This research paves the way for creating more light aircraft，says Dario Floreano，a roboticist in Switzerland not involved in the work．
     "What's really cool about this robot is that you can make adjustments in a robotic wing that you could never do when studying flight in a bird"，says David Lentink，an engineer and biologist at Stanford University．A controllable robotic pigeon solvesthat problem．In flight tests，Lentink's team observed that bending only the fingers of one wing eased the robot into a banked turn-offering the first evidence that birds may sometimes use just their fingers to direct in flight．In a second study，Lentink's group used their robotic wing design to confirm another insight into bird flight：how gaps are prevented from forming between feathers on extended wings．
     This is the best set of robotic wings yet for testing how birds adjust their flight feathers to move through the air，says Tyson Hedrick，a biomechanist．But "there's plenty of room for improvement．" For instance，a future flying robot could include a shoulder joint to investigate how waving a bird's wings up and down influences flight，he says．
  
  （1）What is the newly-found worth of pigeons？

  
  A．They help study other species．
  B．They protect other urban birds．
  C．They provide proof of mice's harm．
  D．They inspire a new aircraft．
  （2）What is Dario Floreano's attitude to the research？

  
  A．Negative．
  B．Positive．
  C．Neutral．
  D．Critical．
  （3）What do the underlined words "that problem" in paragraph 3 refer to？

  
  A．Pigeons in flight can hardly be observed．
  B．People can't make adjustments in birds' wings．
  C．It is difficult for pigeons to make a banked turn．
  D．Pigeons fail to control the spread of their wing feathers．
  （4）Where does the text probably come from？

  
  A．A travel journal．
  B．A travel brochure．
  C．A science fiction．
  D．A science magazine．

      An old wooden seat that Susan extremely valued often reminded her of mother's Golden Rule．
      Back in the 1930s，the country life was really tough．One day after dinner，Susan's mother sat on the seat，announcing to the children the Golden Rule："Treat others the way you want to be treated．" Susan reflected carefully and seriously on what her mother had said．She resolved that she would keep in mind and follow the rule．
      One Saturday afternoon，she went to farmer Jason's inn（小旅館）to get the pay for her mother's washing for the guests there，which amounted to five dollars．She found Jason in the yard，who，as all the villagers knew， was selfish and mean．
      His eyes clouded with anger，as he had just finished a quarrel with one of his guests．He held in his hand an open wallet，full of bills．He barely noticed Susan until she made her request for the money．Instead of shouting at her，as usual，for troubling him when he was busy，he handed her a bank note．
      Feeling relieved for escaping from Jason so easily，Susan hurried out of the inn．When carefully putting the money into her pocket，she discovered that Jason had given her two bills instead of one，and her first reaction was joy at the unexpected prize．She looked around and there was nobody nearby to share her discovery．"It is mine．All mine．" she said to herself．"I will buy mum a new coat with it，and she can give her old one to sister Mary，and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter．I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom too．"
      Just at that moment，she realized that Jason must have given the extra money to her by mistake，and therefore she had no right to own it．But a voice of temptation（誘惑）whispered，"He gave it，and you can keep it．He will never know，even if it is a mistake．"
      As Susan hurried home， this conflict went on in her mind.__________________________________________________________________________________________________
       Susan's face became red with embarrassment and annoyance.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
