My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?"

     "You bet," I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.

     This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict with his fear of drawing attention to himself.

     It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging(刺痛) and my hands shaking with the confusion of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.

     "Oh, he doesn’t want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn’t go on like this.” “It’s up to him," said my father. "He can make up his own mind."

The house the writer’s family lived in was ________.

    A. the best they could afford            B. right for their social position

    C. for showing off                      D. rather small

His father sold his Roils-Royce because ________.

     A. it made him feel uneasy               B. it was too old to work well

     C. it was too expensive to possess            D. it was too cheap

The writer’s father enjoyed being different as long as ________.

    A. it drew attention to him                    B. it didn’t bring him in arguments

    C. it was understood as a joke              D. there was no danger of his showing off

What was the writer’s reaction to the idea of going to Eton?

    A. He was very unhappy.               B. He didn’t believe it.

    C. He was delighted.                   D. He had mixed feelings.

Nuclear radiation (核輻射)has a certain mystery, partly because it cannot be detected (探測(cè))by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them or sense them without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.

At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being at once by killing plenty of cells in important organs(器官). Even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and when they are killed at once. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.

This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治療) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. A child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.

1.According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in       .

A.nuclear mystery

B.radiation detection

C.radiation level

D.nuclear radiation

2.Radiation can lead to serious trouble even at the lowest level        .   

A.when it kills a few cells

B.because the killed cells can’t be replaced

C.if it damages a few cells

D.unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves

3.What does the author want to tell us?

A.Radiation can hurt us.

B.Radiation is a subject scientists work on.

C.Radiation is a mystery.

D.Radiation is the source of cancer.

The hardworking blacksmith Jones used to work all day in his shop and so hard-working was he that at times he would make the sparks(火星) fly from his hammer.

     The son of Mr.Smith, a rich neighbour, used to come to see the blacksmith every day and for hours and hours he would enjoy himself watching how the tradesman worked.

     “ Young man, why don’t you try your hand to learn to make shoe tacks (釘) , even if it is only to pass the time ? ” said the blacksmith. “ Who knows, one day, it may be of use to you .”

     The lazy boy began to see what he could do. But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.

     Old Mr. Smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods. He had to leave home and was forced to live in another country. It so happened that in this village there were many shoemakers who were spending a lot of money buying tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers’ shoes.

     Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in the workshop. The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer. And after a while, Mr. Smith found that he was soon making the finest tacks in the village.

     “ How funny it seems, ” he used to say, “ even making tacks can make money. My trade is more useful to me than all my former riches.”

1.The young man learnt to make shoe tacks because ___________.

   A. his father told him to             B. he wanted to learn a skill

   C. Jones encouraged him to          D. he just wanted to pass his time

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ?

   A. Old Mr. Smith enjoyed making the shoe tacks.

   B. The blacksmith had predicted the young man would be in need of the skill.

   C. The higher prices they paid, the more tacks the shoemakers would get.

   D. The young man earned his living by his skills learnt when he was young.

3.What can we learn from the story ?

   A. Practice makes perfect.        

 B. Skill makes life easy.

   C. A good beginning makes good ending.

   D. Every man has his gift.
