My friend Peter was kind and lovely. But as a student, he was bad at maths, English and science because he didn't have an aptitude (資質) for that kind of study.

One day we were playing football and the bail got stuck in a tree. Peter climbed the tree to get it, and one of the teachers, John Marston who was looking out of the window, noticed that he was a talented climber.

Mr Marston was an expert (專家) in climbing. He had climbed many mountains.

One weekend Mr Marston invited Peter to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Peter really enjoyed the climbing. Mr Marston told Peter he was a very talented climber for his age. Peter left school three years later with no qualifications (畢業(yè)證), but he kept climbing regularly until he became very good at it. In his early twenties, he became a professional climber. He said," I'll always remember Mr Marston because he showed me I had an ability which no one else, including me, knew about."

1.Which subject was Peter not good at?

____________________________________________________________________

2.When did Peter and Mr Marston climb Mount Kilimanjaro?

____________________________________________________________________

3.How did Peter feel about the climbing?

____________________________________________________________________

California Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday signed a law for driverless cars to travel on public roadways, showing once again that Left Coast has a way of making car-makers develop faster.

It is not that smart minds in Japan and Germany aren’t already working on driverless cars. But with most new technologies, engineers want to make sure that they are safe enough before large production. The California law will allow them to travel on the state’s roadways if there is an experienced driver sitting in the driving seat to take over if needed.

“Today, we’re looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow’s reality,” Gov. Brown said during a news conference at Google’s headquarters. “This driverless car is another step forward in this long march of California and leading not just the country, but the whole world.”

The state often uses stricter laws to control greenhouse gases and global warming, which was strongly against by most car-makers in other states, saying it would be impractical for each state to make its own fuel standards. However, the U.S. EPA(環(huán)境保護署) sided with California . At last all sides reached an agreement, but the push from California undoubtedly influenced the EPA’s sharply higher fuel standards, which require car-makers to achieve an average of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.

When it comes to driverless cars, California is actually the third state to authorize(批準) them, behind Nevada and Florida. But by far it is the most influential. “It’s meaningful because California is a big state , a first mover and really a big player,” Ryan Calo, a law professor at the University of Washington who studies autonomous transport law, told the New York Times.

1.The sentence“California, of course , has led the way towards cleaner transport.”is the topic sentence of _________.

A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5

2.From the whole passage, what are the advantages of driverless cars in California?

A. They are green and safe B. They are fast and big

C. They are green and big D. They are fast and safe

3.The last paragraph is written mainly to ______.

A. introduce a new law signed by California

B. California is a big state and really a big player

C. California is the third state to authorize the law

D. show the influence of California’s law on driverless cars

4.According to the passage, we can learn _______.

A. engineers in other countries aren’t working on driverless cars

B. California and the EPA reached an agreement on fuel standards

C. the developing of driverless cars in California will lead the world

D. California is the first state that allows driverless cars to travel on roads

A businessman was once deep in debt（債務）and could see no way out. He sat on a park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company.

Suddenly an old man appeared in front of him. “I can see that something is troubling you,” he said. After listening to the businessman’s trouble, the old man said, “I believe I can help you.”

He asked the man his name, wrote out a check（支票）and pushed it into his hand, saying, “Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time.” Then he turned and disappeared.

The businessman saw his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller. One of the richest man in the world.

“It can solve my problem at once!” the businessman realized. But instead, he decided to put the check in his safe. Just knowing it was there that might give him the strength（力量）to work out a way to save his business, he thought.

And then she led the old man away by the arm. The businessman just stood there,________. Suddenly, he realized that it wasn’t the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his newfound self-confidence（自信心）that gave him the strength to achieve anything he went after.
