B
Today there are twenty to twenty-five million shopping carts rolling around the world. In fact, the shopping cart is presently one of the most often used items on four wheels, second only to the automobile. Indeed, almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart. They will, in a lifetime, push it many miles. But few will know—or even
think to ask—who it was that invented them.
Mr. Sylvan N. Goldman of Oklahoma City invented the shopping cart in 1937. Mr. Goldman’s invention did not make him famous. It did, however, make him very
rich.
When Goldman invented the cart he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets that they had to carry. One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers. And by lightening their chore, he would attract their business. Pondering the idea, Goldman walked into his office and sat down on a folding chair. Looking down at the chair, Goldman had another idea. The carts, he realized, should be made so they could be folded up. Thiswould make it easier to store them when not in use.
On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first batch of carts was ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention. But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one offended shopper replied.
Day after day, the same thing happened. People wouldn’t use the carts. They preferred a basket on the arm to a basket on wheels. But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman tried something that was both very clever and very funny. Believe it or not, he hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony customers.
As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of goods than before.
Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.
59.The passage is written to _____.
A. tell about the life of an inventor B. explain the power of advertising C. introduce the history of an invention
D. analyze the secrets of business success
60.How did Goldman get customers to use the shopping cart?
A. By showing how it worked. B. By printing advertisements. C. By giving a special discount.
D. By describing why it was useful.
61.What unexpected benefit did Goldman gain?
A. Goldman became famous. B. Shoppers bought more goods. C. Shopping carts became larger.
D. More customers came to his store.
62.The passage suggests the following secrets of success EXCEPT _____.
A.acting on your ideas B. believing in your work C. using your imagination
D. watching your competition
C Bear Story
Campers Gene and Marie Marsden took pride in being good citizens when in the wild. While driving miles to the Green River Lakes area, they instructed their children in the rules they’d learned in the bear safety handbook put out by the Bridger-Teton Forest Service. The number-one rule was “Don’t feed the bears!”—whether intentionally or not. Warning the kids not to go anywhere near a bear, the Marsdens had no problem with the intentional part, but the unintentional part was not as easy to avoid as they thought.
Mr. and Mrs. Marsden did their best to keep a tidy camp. While the handbook had said to hang all food at least ten feet off the ground, they did that and locked their food in their trailer at night. Afraid that the scent of the bait（鱼饵）might attract a bear, they even locked up Marie’s fishing pole. Being sure nothing was left out, they went to bed.
Gene says he now regrets not having taken their dog Spike into the tent at night,
but they liked having him on guard. On the night of the encounter（相遇），Spike would not stop barking, and Marie knew he must be sounding the alarm on something more dangerous. When she unzipped the tent and shone her flashlight, she saw a young bear.
They all piled into the car and drove quickly down the trail. They drove to a pay phone twenty miles away and called a Fish and Game Department ranger, who identified the bear by the white ruff the Marsdens had seen around his neck. The authorities informed the Marsdens that the bear was a young male that they’d been keeping an eye on.
The next morning, the Marsdens heard helicopters circling over the mountain and wondered if it might have something to do with the hear. After spending the night in the public campground, they drove back to their site. Wandering the area in search of clues, Marie came to a stop below a tallest tree. She slapped her head and shouted, “Oh no!”
“What is it?” Gene asked.
Marie pointed at the ground where Spike’s dog food bowl lay upside down. A week after their return home, the Marsdens read the headline in their local paper“Bear Euthanized in Wind Rivers. ”According to the article, the Fish and Game Department had shot the young bear because, having been rewarded for invading（侵入）a human campsite, it would likely do so again.
The Marsdens knew they had been lucky in the encounter, yet much to their shame and sadness, they also knew that the bear had not.
63. Who is mostly to blame in the bear’s death according to the writer?
A. The bear. B. The Bridger-Teton Forest Service. C. The Marsdens.
D. The Fish and Game Department.
64.What does the underlined word “reward” refer to in Paragraph 8?
A. The bear frightening the Marsdens away. B. The bear receiving no punishment. C. The bear fighting against Spike. D. The bear getting the dog’s food. 65.The passage is written to show _____.
A. taking pets for camping should be forbidden B. choosing right spots is important for camping C. people’s improper behavior can cause great loss D. people had better keep away from dangerous animals 66.The passage might be from _____.
A. a camping magazine B. a handbook on bear safety C. a geography textbook D. a statistical study on bears’ deaths
D
Even though multiple generations have now grown up glued to the flickering light of the TV, we still can’t let go of the belief that the next generation of technology is going to doom（毁掉）our kids.
I’ve spent over a decade observing young people’s practices with technology. When I began my research, I expected to find lots of teenagers who were escaping “real life”through the Internet. That was certainly my experience. As a geeky, queer youth growing up in the early 1990s, the Internet was the only place where I didn’t feel judged. I wanted to live in a digital-only world.
To my surprise—and, as I grew older, relief—that differed from what most youth want. Early on in my research, I met a girl who told me that she’d much rather get together with her friends in person, but she had so many homework demands and her parents were often concerned about her physical safety. This is why she loved the Internet: She could hang out with her friends there. For many teenagers, technology is a relief valve. I’ve heard this reasoning echoed by youth around the country.

A Man of Vision(视觉)
In 1809, Louis Braille was born in a small town in France. When he was three years old, he accidentally hurt one of his eyes. The sickness spread to his other eye. Later, Louis was unable to see.
Louis’s parents took him out of school two years later. They thought that there was nothing more for him to learn there. He could not read or write.
When he was ten years old, Louis’s parents sent him to a special school in Paris. It was one of the first schools for blind people in the world. Louis learned many skills at this school. One of them was reading.
Back then, blind people read by feeling raised letters on the paper. But it was difficult. Too many letters felt the same, for they had similar shapes.
Louis wanted to find a better way for blind people to read. He tried to create a touch system for reading and writing. He believed a system of raised dot（小点）could help. Night Writing-a writing system for soldiers was used. But he didn’t think it was good enough. This system did not allow the fingertip（指尖）to cover a whole letter. The readers had to move their fingers to feel the letter.
After years of hard work, he invented a shorter, easier form of this touch system. He used six dots to form each letter. It allowed a person to feel a whole letter without moving. Blind people could read much faster and easier.
Today, we call this form of written language Braille in honour of Louis Braille.
Louis died in 1852. However, his form of communication lives on. Though he became blind at a young age, he insisted a lot. Instead, he overcame the difficulty, and made a big difference. 45. When Louis was three years old, he __________. A. was sent to a special school
