14.The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years.In 1721,the printer James Franklin.Benjamin's older brother,started the New England Courant,and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper.He filled his paper with stories of adventure,articles on art,on famous people,and on all sorts of political subjects.
     Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant.few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long Newspaper complies are losing advertisers (廣告商),readers,market value.a(chǎn)nd.in some cases,their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago The chief editor (主編) of the times said recently,"At places where they gather,editors ask one another,'How are you?',as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came."An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian,under the headline"NOT DEAD YET."

Dear sarah.
Thank you for you letter asking about the rebuilt Qianmen street.Here is something about it.Qianmen Street is a famous street of over 600 years old.Along this 800-meter street,there are more than
300 shops.As the street is in the center of Beijing,just to the south of Tian'anmen Square,it's very convenient
to get there by bus.You may take Buses No.17,69 or 59.Subway Line 2 has a stop there too.Qianmen Street
is a pedestrian street,but there are trolley cars to take you not only to the shops,but also to theatres and
teahouses where you can experience a truly Chinese way of life.
I'm sure you'll like it.

4.A long time ago,Milton S.Hershey,the creator of the popular chocolate bars,was dipped in warm chocolate.I know all about it.My grandfather was there!
 At nineteen,Hershey established a candy business in Philadelphia.Although it failed,he tried again in several other cities and succeeded with Crystal A Caramels.But Hershey was not content.He began experimenting with chocolate and managed to sell his first chocolate bars in 1900.They were an instant success.In 1903,Hershey built a factory.
 Hershey was usually pleasant and kind and enjoyed a good joke.However,in his chocolate factory,he held high standards for all the workers.He was both respected and feared.His anger would burst out when things didn't go as he'd expected,and workers were fired for mistakes.
My grandfather began working in the factory as a young man.His job was to push the vats (大桶) of warm chocolate to a storage area.To do this,he had to push the heavy vats up a ramp (斜坡) and across the walkway.One day,Hershey was walking backward on the walkway while my grandfather was pushing a vat of chocolate up the ramp.Bump.Clunk.Ker-plop!Hershey fell backward into the vat.Everyone else held their breath and ran up to pull him out.Grandfather froze in fear.Was he going to lose his job?
Hershey stood stiffly with his hands on his hips.Color rose in his face.He said something in a low voice.Then he smiled."It's not your fault,son,"he said."I need to watch where I'm going."He put some chocolate in his mouth."Mmm,that's good,"he said.Everyone laughed.The tour continued,with Hershey dripping chocolate as he went.And Grandfather kept his job.

73.What did Grandfather do in Hershey's factory?(回答詞數(shù)不超過(guò)12個(gè))He pushed the vats of warm chocolate to a storage area.
74.Why didn't Hershey fire Grandfather?(回答詞數(shù)不超過(guò)10個(gè))Because he realized it was his own fault./Because he realized it was not Grandfather's fault/mistake.
75.What does the incident show us about Hershey?(回答詞數(shù)不超過(guò)15個(gè))(It shows us that) Hershey was pleasant,humorous,kind (to others) and really respectable..
