Once Wilhelm K. Roentgen and several other scientists were experimenting with passing electric currents through certain gases in a special glass tube from which the air had been taken away. Then one day Roentgen noticed that when the tube was covered with black paper, some strange kind of radiation was coming through and making a screen nearby glow(发光). Roentgen could see anything out of the tube, but then he discovered that if he put the screen at the next room on the other side of a closed door, the rays still seemed to affect it. The glowing screen showed that the rays could pass not only through the black paper but also through wood.
The next thing he found out was that if he put his hand between the rays and a photographic
plate, the rays would print a shadow of the bony(骨头的) framework of his hand on the plate. In fact, the rays could pass as easily through the fleshy part of his hand as through the black paper. But hardly at all through the bone. So Roentgen made the first X-ray picture of a hand showing just how the bones in the hand fitted together.
Roentgen called the unknown rays X-rays, but other scientists called them Roentgen rays in
Roentgen discovered X-rays ___________.
A．by working hard B．by chance
C．by doing experiment after experiment D．with the help of several other scientists
What was in the special glass tube?
A．Air B．Nothing C．Nothing but gases D．None of the above
We may conclude that the rays Roentgen found were __________.
A．dangerous B．invisible C．colorful D．poisonous
What could X-rays hardly pass through?
A．Wood B．Glass C．Bones D．Black paper
Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?
A．the Discovery of Roentgen Rays. B．The Discovery of Electric Currents.
C．The First X-ray Picture of a Hand. D．The Use of the Photographic Plate.

I am a German by birth and descent. My name is Schmidt. But by education I am quite as much an Englishman as a 'Deutscher', and by affection much more the former. My life has been spent pretty equally between the two countries, and I flatter myself I speak both languages without any foreign accent.
I count England my headquarters now: it is “home” to me. But a few years ago I was resident in Germany, only going over to London now and then on business. I will not mention the town where I lived. It is unnecessary to do so, and in the peculiar experience I am about to relate I think real names of people and places are just as well, or better avoided.
I was connected with a large and important firm of engineers. I had been bred up to the profession, and was credited with a certain amount of “talent”; and I was considered—and, with all modesty, I think I deserved the opinion—steady and reliable, so that I had already attained a fair position in the house, and was looked upon as a “rising man”. But I was still young, and not quite so wise as I thought myself. I came close once to making a great mess of a certain affair. It is this story which I am going to tell.
Our house went in largely for patents—rather too largely, some thought. But the head partner's son was a bit of a genius in his way, and his father was growing old, and let Herr Wilhelm - Moritz we will call the family name—do pretty much as he chose. And on the whole Herr Wilhelm did well. He was cautious, and he had the benefit of the still greater caution and larger experience of Herr Gerhardt, the second partner in the firm.
Patents and the laws which regulate them are strange things to have to do with. No one who has not had personal experience of the complications that arise could believe how far these spread and how involved they become. Great acuteness as well as caution is called for if you would guide your patent bark safely to port—and perhaps more than anything, a power of holding your tongue. I was no chatterbox, nor, when on a mission of importance, did I go about looking as if I were bursting with secrets, which is, in my opinion, almost as dangerous as revealing them. No one, to meet me on the journeys which it often fell to my lot to undertake, would have guessed that I had anything on my mind but an easy-going young fellow's natural interest in his surroundings, though many a time I have stayed awake through a whole night of railway travel if at all doubtful about my fellow-passengers, or not dared to go to sleep in a hotel without a ready-loaded gun by my pillow. For now and then - though not through me - our secrets did ooze out. And if, as has happened, they were secrets connected with Government orders or contracts, there was, or but for the exertion of the greatest energy and tact on the part of my superiors, there would have been, to put it plainly, the devil to pay.
1. The writer preferred to be called ________.
A. a German B. an Englishman
C. both a German and an Englishman D. neither a German nor an Englishman
2.Which of the following words cannot be used to describe the writer?
A. Talented B. Modest C. Reliable D. Wise
3.The head of the company where the writer works is ________.
A. Schmidt B. Moritz C. Wilhelm’s father D. Gerhardt
4. The writer often stayed awake on the train or kept a ready-loaded gun in the hotel, because ________.
A. some people sometimes let out the secrets of his company
B. the writer occasionally didn’t keep the secrets of his company
C. patents and the laws are strange things to have to do with
