Henry Ford was born on a farm on July 30th, 1863. The farm was near the city of Detroit.

Henry was always interested in machines. He enjoyed fixing clocks.And he helped repair farm equipment. When Henry was sixteen years old, he left the family farm and went to Detroit to learn more about machines. Henry used what he learned from work to develop engines. In 1903, he was ready to start building cars for the public. On July 15th, 1903, a man named Doctor Pfenning bought the first car from the Ford Motor Company.

The sale to Doctor Pfenning was the beginning of a huge number of requests for Ford cars.By the end of March, 1904, almost 600 Ford cars had been sold. At the start of 1905, the Ford Motor Company was producing 25 cars each day.

Henry Ford was sure the future of the automobile industry was in a low-priced car for the general public. He said then, and many times after,“I want to make a car that anybody can buy.”

In 1907, Henry Ford said: "I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. 1t will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”

A. Henry Ford was born in the city of Detroit.

B. Doctor Pfenning developed the first car.

C. The Ford Motor Company was founded in 1905.

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare (兔子) and the tortoise (烏龜). At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady (鎮(zhèn)定的), and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”

Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”

I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”

“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”

“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (堅忍不拔), by pushing on steadily.”

Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”

I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.

1.The writer argued with his son because _____.

A. he liked tortoises while his son liked hares.

B. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish.

C. he tried to teach his son a moral lesson but the son had totally different opinion.

D. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t.

2.Sonny believed that the tortoise _____.

A. won the race by his own hard working.

B. took a risk (冒險) by agreeing to run a race.

C. was not given a fair chance in the race.

D. in fact did win the race luckily.

3.The writer thinks that his generation (一代人) _____.

A. are cleverer than Sonny’s generation.

B. have the same ideas about life as Sonny’s generation.

C. are more hopeful than Sonny’s generation.

D. have different ideas about life from Sonny’s generation.

Mrs Bennet, Pride and Prejudice

Jane Austen described Mrs Bennet as “a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper(脾氣)”: she topped your list of the least favorite female family heads. With her single-minded devotion to marrying off her daughters, she is one of literature’s parents involving themselves in their sons’ or daughters’ private lives. And at least she pays attention to her daughters. Whatever one might lay at her daughters’ door, she defends them.

Helen Graham, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

The second and final novel by Anne Bront was so shocking that after Anne’s death, her sister Charlotte prevented its re-publication. Published for the first time in 1848, it told the story of a woman who escapes her alcoholic husband to protect her young son. In fleeing her husband, Helen was not just challenging social structures, she was breaking the law: at the time, a married woman had no independent legal existence, and by taking her child with her she was likely to be punished for kidnapping(誘拐). Helen’s actions didn’t just establish her as a good mother; they helped to cause a movement.

Marilla Cuthbert, Anne of Green Gables

The adoptive mother of orphan Anne makes herself known as a softy through the course of the 1908 novel: so much so that Margaret Attwood has claimed that Marilla is the true central character: “Her growing love for Anne, and her growing ability to express that love – not Anne’s duckling-to-swan act – is the real magic transformation. Anne is the catalyst(催化劑) who allows the strict Marilla to finally express her long-buried softer human emotions.”

Mrs Waterbury, The Railway Children

The Railway Children’s female family head is “a very real mother, strong but also easily hurt.” Presenting an idealized(理想化) vision of childhood, yet the novel contains a tension between appearance and reality – which some have said reflects its author E Nesbit’s personal life. Her husband had an ongoing affair with her best friend, who bore him two children that Nesbit raised as her own. Jenny Agutter has said: “Nesbit’s life was always unstable. What saved her was her belief that things would work out in the end … Against the background of her own tense and complex family life, she wrote stories about families that were joined perfectly together.”

1.The passage mainly discusses _____________ in literature.

A. families

B. mothers

C. emotional life

D. parent-child communication

2.Which of the following is TRUE about the four characters in the novels mentioned in the passage?

A. Mrs Bennet is a most controlling person.

B. Helen Graham is a person to give up easily.

C. Marilla Cuthbert is hard to get along with .

D. Mrs Waterbury is poor at holding together a family

3.According to the writers mentioned in the passage, we can infer that ____________________.

A. Jane Austen was good at writing detective stories

B. Anne Bront wrote three novels altogether all her life

C. E Nesbit was looking forward to having one harmonious family

D. Margaret Attwood was very popular with readers of the early 20th century

4.Which of the following can we recommend if anyone wants to read a novel about the sweetest expression of family love.

A. Pride and Prejudice.

B. The Railway Children.

C. Anne of Green Gables.

D. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
