I can remember the day my father came home from the war. As he walked up the front path of our home, he saw Mum and me and he dropped the suitcase.
I was only five years old so Dad made a fuss of me, then began making an even bigger fuss of my mother. This left me free to examine all the stuff lying around the broken suitcase, and I was quick to notice a newspaper advertisement displaying a new piano. When Dad saw me holding up the newspaper cutting, he smiled.
“Yes, that’s right,” he said. “I bought your mum a piano for ten pounds down and two pounds a week.”
A few moments later, a horse pulled a cart with a piano on top. Soon we all stared at it in our small lounger room. Mum had never been close to a piano before, except at the kindergarten I attended, and she used to say how wonderful it would be if the teachers could teach her to play.
After tea that night, Mum began to teach herself to play. She plinked the keys for about two hours and drove everybody in the street mad, until Dad gently said, “Enough is enough.”
From that day on, she would plink between doing the cooking and housework. Three months went by and Mum was now a skilled pianist, holding parties with all the neighbors gathering around to sing.
Although we were poor, Mum felt like a princess and was delighted at all the attention she was receiving.
At the height of Mum’s happiness, I began to notice that Dad was looking increasingly worried. It turned out that since returning from the war, he’d been unable to find a job. Then, a few weeks later, I observed two men taking Mum’s piano away. Mum sobbed in the kitchen. Suddenly, it all became clear to me: no job, no money, no piano.
Dad finally got a job. Mum was happy again as if he’d just win the lottery(彩票). Dad had to study to qualify as an account. Every night after dinner he’d place a stack of books on the kitchen table and study late into the night. Mum didn’t say much but I could tell she was proud of Dad.
Two years later, Dad bought Mum another piano. This time he paid cash for it.
1.How did the author’s Dad buy the piano for his mum?
A.He paid part of the bill regularly.
B.He earned it by winning a bet.
C.He paid cash for it.
D.He bought it as a big bargain.
2.By saying “Enough is enough”, the author’s dad meant_______.
A.practice makes perfect
B.it was time to stop practicing
C.he couldn’t bear being troubled
D.his wife played the piano well enough
3.What made the author’s mum proud of his dad?
A.His dad’s willingness to help cook.
B.His dad’s winning the lottery luckily.
C.His dad’s loyalty to his motherland.
D.His dad’s determination to rebuild his life.

It was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn’t know enough to really care. My older bother and I lived with Mom in an ugly multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses’ hoofs(馬蹄) from “Wagon Train” or “Cheyenne”, and laughter from “I Love Lucy”, or “Mister Ed”. After supper, we’d lie on Mom’s bed and stare for hours at the TV screen.
But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys know at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses where she cleaned books. So she came home one day, switched off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week,” she said. “And you’re going to write a report on what you read.”
We moaned(不滿,發(fā)牢騷) and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn’t have any books in the house other than Mom’s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I’ll drive you to the library.”
So pretty soon there were these two peevish(壞脾氣的)boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly(不情愿) among the children’s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.
The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers(河貍). For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this virtue visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.
It didn’t dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip(快速翻動)of a page.
Soon I began to look forward to visiting this quiet sanctuary form my other world. I moved from animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened: I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn’t wait to get home to my books.
Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery(兒童神經(jīng)外科)at John Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can’t believe my life’s journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.
But I know when the journey began the day Mom switched off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.

It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.
If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.
My daughter Carla’s fifth grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a prefect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.
You can use the same technique when you evaluate your child’s work at home. Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn’t done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.
1.The whole passage deals with ________.
A. social education B. school education C. family education D. pre - school education
2.The article gives us a good suggestion about how to evaluate(評價)your child’s work at home. That is to ________.

A. learn from himself, for he has a good way of teaching

C
A light emitting diode (發(fā)光二極管), or L.E.D., is a device that shines when electricity passes through it.But it works differently than traditional kinds of light bulbs.Light emitting diodes use less energy and last much longer than bulbs with a filament (燈絲) inside.L.E. D.’s are also cooler to the touch, and shine a lot brighter than they used to.
Red L.E.D.’s have long been used as signal lights on electronic equipment.But now light emitting diodes also come in blue and other colors.Colored L.E.D.’s are used to show images on everything from wireless phones to huge video signs.And white L.E.D.’s are being used increasingly to replace traditional lighting systems.
But all these require electricity.In poor countries, people often burn fuel to produce light.But the smoke can make people sick.So an electrical engineering professor from Canada started a project to produce L.E. D.lighting systems for the developing world.These lights are powered by batteries that can be recharged with energy from the sun.The batteries can also be charged through other ways, such as wind power and water power.
Professor David Irvine-Halliday tells the story of how he got the idea.In 1997, while climbing in the Annapurna mountains in Nepal, he saw a small school.All the children were outside.He looked through a window and saw that inside the school was dark.The school had a sign that read: "We have no teachers.If you want to stay and teach for a few days, we would be very pleased." Professor Irvine-Halliday says that experience had a big effect on him.Back at the University of Calgary, he was on the Internet one day.He saw a company in Japan selling bright white L.E. D.’s.So he built a light with some.This is how he began the Light Up the World Foundation.
48.Compared with traditional kinds of light bulbs, L.E.D.’S________.
A.waste a lot of energy B.need shorter time to make
C.shine much brighter D.a(chǎn)re warmer to touch
49.According to the passage, we know that L.E.D.’s________.
A.will replace all the lights B.will be more and more popular
C.will be only colored ones D.will be only used in developing countries
50.According to the passage, we can infer that the purpose of the Light Up the World Foundation is to________.
