6.The United States of America was founded in 1776after the 13independent American states rose up against the ruling British,defeated them in the American Revolutionary War,and signed the Declaration of Independence,the document which declared the creation of the new country.
The men who led the revolution,drafted the Declaration of Independence,and wrote the first American laws are known as"founding fathers".Benjamin Franklin,whose picture is on the US 100-dollar note,was appointed to prepare the Declaration that was eventually signed by the other founding fathers.
Franklin was born in 1706in Boston to a soap maker named Josiah Franklin.His father could not afford full schooling for all his children,but Benjamin loved books and worked in his elder brother's printing business before starting a newspaper called the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1729.He wrote and drew cartoons for the newspaper.In addition,he worked to improve living conditions in the city:introducing street lights,cleaning the roads and building libraries.In the 1740s,Franklin retired from his newspaper and turned to science with great success.He was a very smart man and his work on electricity,including the"kite experiment"which confirmed the nature of lightning,made him famous throughout the world.
Franklin earned the title of the"First American"for his efforts to unite the 13American states,and to win their independence.This part of the story starts in London.He was sent to the city to persuade the British to treat the American states more fairly.It was here that he began interacting with important political thinkers and activists of the time and developing his own political ideas.
Following his return to America in 1761he became much more active in American politics and in the battle against British rule.
After the United States of America was established,Franklin held several important positions such as the first United States Postmaster General,Ambassador to France and President of Pennsylvania.He is also famous today for his wise sayings,including"a penny saved is a penny earned"and"an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
24.What is the article mainly about?B
A.The American Declaration of Independence.
B.Franklin's contributions to American society.
C.The American War of Independence.
D.Benjamin Franklin's early life.
25.How did Franklin begin developing his own political thinking?A
A.By discussing ideas with political activists in Britain.
B.By persuading the 13American states to unite.
C.By fighting against British rule in America.
D.By writing articles for his own newspaper.
26.What can be inferred about Franklin from the article?C
A.His most important contribution was in science.
B.He was th e leader of the"founding fathers".
C.He was successful in many different areas.
D.He came from a very wealthy family.
27.What is the correct order for the following events from Franklin's life?B
a.He started a newspaper business.
b.He carried out the kite experience on electricity.
c.He worked for his brother in a printing company.
d.He was appointed the Ambassador to France.
e.He helped write the Declaration of Independence.
f.He visited England to discuss independence.

5.Galileo Galilei was one of the world's greatest scientists.He was born in 1564in Pisa,Italy.His father made him study medicine.Later,however,Galileo became so (61)interested(interest)in mathematics and science (62)that he gave up medicine to study the former two.
Later,Galileo carried out a famous experiment.From the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa,he dropped two different (63)weights(weigh).Before that,everyone (64)hadbelieved或believed(believe)that heavy objects fell quickly and light ones fell (65)slowly(slow).The two weights that Galileo dropped reached the ground at the same time.He tried the experiment again and again.Every time he got the same results.At last,he decided that he had found the truth about (66)falling(fall)objects.
Galileo heard that someone in Holland had invented an instrument which made small objects seem (67)bigger(big).He worked hard to develop this idea of the telescope.He could then use (68)thetelescope to study the stars.He found that the sun was the center of the solar system.He collected facts that proved the earth and all the other planets move (69)aroundthe sun.
Today we praise Galileo and call (70)himone of the founders of modern science.

3.WILD WEATHERMAN
Name:Sam Champion
Hot job:TV Weatherman
Where:ABC-TV,New York City
When you were a child,did you plan to forecast wind,rain,and snow on TV?
I wanted to be a foreign journalist.I took courses in weather science at Eastern Kentucky University,but I majored in broadcasting news.
How did you finally become a weatherman?
My first job in the early 1980s was at the local TV station in Paducah,Kentucky.I did everything from turning on the lights in the morning to writing and delivering morning news.I put together weather forecasts,and became interested in them.
Back then,how did you forecast weather?
Independent companies collected computer information that showed,for example,how a single weather system might split into snow or snow mixed with rain.The information was often opposite and the job of a weatherman was to study the information and make the best educated guess about the storm.
Has weather forecasting changed much with new technology?
Advanced computers,satellites,and Doppler radar (sound waves used to track storms) have made forecasting more exact.But we still know very little about how weather is shaped.So far,we just have theories.
Any advice for children who'd like to become weather scientists?
To me,weather is the most exciting field in the world.There are still so many more questions about weather than answers.After all,if we can't foresee floods or hurricanes,how safe a society are we?Weather forecasting is wide open for scientists who love to solve puzzling problems.The next generation of meteorologists (weather scientists) will unlock many of Earth's weather secrets.So get a general knowledge of Earth science,and study meteorology in college.
Thanks,Sam.

19.Not long ago,I faced an enjoyable yet formidable(难以对付的) challenge.I was returning to my old neighborhood in the South Bronx to speak the students of my old school,Morris High.As we drove down streets where my friend Gene Norman and I used to race bicycles,I thought of the problems awaiting the kids living here,the drugs,the temptations,and the crime.What could I say to encourage them?
As we passed the hamburger place that I used to haunt,I remembered my growing-up years here,the joys,the sorrows,and the choices.Even then kids faced choices.There were drugs in my neighbourhood and a youngster could gain easy access to them if tempted.But in my family,the decision was simple:You just didn't do it.We knew it was stupid and the most self-destructive thing you could do with the life God had given you.
At age of 17 I found a summer job in a local soft-drink bottling plant at 90 cents an hour.I was thrilled.On my first day of work,having joined the ranks of other newly hired teenagers,I was full of enthusiasm.The bottling machines caught my eye,but only the white boys worked there.I was hired as a porter and the foreman handed me a mop(拖把).I decided to be the best mop user there ever was.Right to left,left to right.
As our car rolled on,our driver's voice broke my thought."We are here,General."I looked up at my old school; it hadn't changed much.As I walked up its familiar stone steps I remembered racing up them to beat the bell.The setting for my talk to the student body was the gymnasium.
"I remember this place",I told the students."I remember it all.I remember running through Van Cortland Park with the track team,the victory I used to take each day from my home to Kelly Street to school."
"I also remember,upon occasions,experiencing the feeling‘you can't make it'",I continued."But you can.When I was coming up,opportunities were limited.But now the opportunities are there to be anything you want to be.But wanting to be isn't enough,dreaming about it isn't enough.You've got to study for it,work for it,fight for it with all your heart energy and soul so that nothing will be denied you.
I wanted them to make the right choices,to work hard and not lose sight of a dream.And I wanted them to know that someone is always watching.

A.to get easy access to choices
