They arrived_in Guangzhou last night.(同义替换)

A. reach B. reached to C. got D. got to

D 【解析】 句意：昨天晚上他们到达了广州。reach到达，及物动词，后面直接跟宾语；reached to形式错误，不需要介词to；got到达，不接物动词，后面应跟介词to，再跟名词做宾语；got to到达某地。原句中arrive in表示“到达某地”，相当于get to或reach。时态为过去时，故选D。

A. two thousands B. thousands of

C. two thousands of D. two thousand of

B 【解析】 句意：这场地震让成千上万的人无家可归。two thousands形式错误，thousand与基数词搭配表示具体数目，不用复数；thousands of意为“成千上万的”，表示不确定的数字；two thousands of和two thousand of形式错误。故应选B。

When he was small, Hill was a famous bad boy.

At the age of 9, his father married his stepmother. At that time they lived poor in the countryside while his stepmother was from a wealthy family.

His father introduced Hill to his stepmother as he said, “Dear, I hope you notice in the entire shire this is the worst boy, who has made me have no other way. Maybe before tomorrow morning he will throw a stone at you, or do a bad thing you will never imagine.”

To Hill's surprise, his stepmother went up to him with a smile, held up his head and looked at him carefully. She then turned around to tell her husband, “You’re wrong. He is not the worst boy in the entire shire, but the cleverest and creative boy. Only he doesn’t find a place to show himself. ”

His stepmother’s words warmed his heart, his eyes full of tears. With this, he started building friendship with his stepmother. And this became the drive of his life, making him create 28 successful golden rules, which helped tens of thousands of ordinary people walk on the road to success.

Before his stepmother came, no one praised him smart, and his father and neighbors considered him as a bad boy. However, his stepmother’s words changed his life.

When Hill was 14 years old, his stepmother bought him a used typewriter and said to him, “I believe you will become a writer.” Hill accepted his stepmother’s gift and expectation, and started writing things to a local newspaper. He understood his stepmother’s strong feeling of interest in his family while he saw with his own eyes she had changed his family. Therefore, he would do as well as she expected him to.

The strength from his stepmother made him a rich man and famous writer in the United States and one of the most important persons in the 20th century.
