What could a poem writer and a movie director
share More than you think! Langston Hughes began writing poems in high school
and soon became one of America's greatest writers. Most of his writing is about
his experiences as an African American. He wrote poems about people who worked
hard through life but still found things to be happy about. He wrote plays and
books about justice(正义) for all people, and he wrote
kid' books, too. The Sweet and Sour Animal Book is a book of his animal poems.

never stopped making films, even after many film schools refused him. Today he
is one of the most popular and important filmmakers in the world. His movies
are about people who are adventurous(爱冒险的), brave,
kind. His characters often fight for what is good. Some of his films are about
his Jewish background, such as Schindler's List. Spielberg once said, "I
don't dream that much at night because I dream for a living." In,

reach for their dreams.

Imagine the situation. You are driving along a
desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last
house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You
have no mobile phone. What do you do Well, next time take a GPS with you. This
invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which
uses satellites to find the user's position(位置). It can
find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at
least you will know where you are.
GPS，which means Global
Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone.
You can hold it in your hand, or put it in your pocket. It is sometimes put
into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes or boats.
Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For
example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts of the Global
Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your
hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The receiver contacts at
least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its
position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They
are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working
well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS
will be as common as the mobile phone. They are becoming cheaper and more and
more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS.
Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will
never be lost again.
25．We can learn from the passage that ______________.
A．a GPS can help you start your car
B．there are three parts of the GPS
C．a GPS can't be put into a watch
D．the GPS is becoming more and more expensive

A．receivers B．GPS devices
C．satellites D．ground stations
27．The passage is mainly about ______________.
A．the introduction of the GPS B．the history of the GPS
C．the three parts of the GPS D．the shape of the GPS
28．What can we infer(推断) from the passage
A．All GPS devices have electronic maps.
B．People in many countries will use the GPS for free.
C．The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites.
D．The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.

Almost every kid in this country has ever
eaten Hershey chocolate. But do you know that the Hershey chocolate factory is
more than one hundred years old And do you know that the father of Hershey
Chocolate, Milton Hershey，had many failures in business
before he started his famous company
Milton Hershey grew up in Pennsylvania. Before
he became interested in making chocolate, he worked as a printer for a small
newspaper at first, and then decided that printing was not the right job for
him.
Then he worked at a candy factory in
Lancaster. After working a few years there, he decided to open his own little
candy business near Philadelphia. His first business failed because it was not
making money. After that, he went to Denver to learn how to make caramels(焦糖). He took his new skills back to New York and worked selling candies
on the street. But his second business also failed.
Finally, Milton Hershey moved back to
Pennsylvania where he grew up. He then experimented with all sorts of different
candies and chocolate. By 1893 he was selling a million dollars' worth of
caramel candy each year. Since his chocolate-flavored (巧克力味的) caramels were the bestselling, he decided to make chocolate
himself.
By experimenting, Milton Hershey discovered
how to make delicious chocolate. The area where he lived had a large and easy
supply of milk and sugar, which helped him succeed in his chocolate business.
In 1903, Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and a town to go with
it.
Today, the town of Hershey is still the home
of the factory that Milton Hershey built. And if you visit it, you can smell
delicious chocolate smells just by driving through the town.
The factory is not so hard to find. Just
travel down Cocoa Avenue until you get to East Chocolate Avenue. Turn right at
the traffic lights and just follow your nose.
38．Who is the father of
Hershey Chocolate
39．Where did he grow up
40．Why did he go to Denver
41．Why did he decide to make chocolate himself
42．What might be the reasons for Hershey's success in his chocolate

Imagine the situation. You are driving along a
desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last
house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You
have no mobile phone. What do you do Well, next time take a GPS with you. This
invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which
uses satellites to find the user's position(位置). It can
find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at
least you will know where you are.
GPS，which means Global
Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone.
You can hold it in your hand, or put it in your pocket. It is sometimes put
into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes or boats.
Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For
example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts of the Global
Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your
hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The receiver contacts at
least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its
position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They
are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working
well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS
will be as common as the mobile phone. They are becoming cheaper and more and
more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS.
Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will
never be lost again.
25．We can learn from the passage that ______________.
A．a GPS can help you start your car
B．there are three parts of the GPS
C．a GPS can't be put into a watch

Almost every kid in this country has ever
eaten Hershey chocolate. But do you know that the Hershey chocolate factory is
more than one hundred years old And do you know that the father of Hershey
Chocolate, Milton Hershey，had many failures in business
before he started his famous company
Milton Hershey grew up in Pennsylvania. Before
he became interested in making chocolate, he worked as a printer for a small
newspaper at first, and then decided that printing was not the right job for
him.
Then he worked at a candy factory in
Lancaster. After working a few years there, he decided to open his own little
candy business near Philadelphia. His first business failed because it was not
making money. After that, he went to Denver to learn how to make caramels(焦糖). He took his new skills back to New York and worked selling candies
on the street. But his second business also failed.
Finally, Milton Hershey moved back to
Pennsylvania where he grew up. He then experimented with all sorts of different
candies and chocolate. By 1893 he was selling a million dollars' worth of
caramel candy each year. Since his chocolate-flavored (巧克力味的) caramels were the bestselling, he decided to make chocolate
himself.
By experimenting, Milton Hershey discovered
how to make delicious chocolate. The area where he lived had a large and easy
supply of milk and sugar, which helped him succeed in his chocolate business.
In 1903, Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and a town to go with
it.
Today, the town of Hershey is still the home
of the factory that Milton Hershey built. And if you visit it, you can smell
delicious chocolate smells just by driving through the town.
The factory is not so hard to find. Just
travel down Cocoa Avenue until you get to East Chocolate Avenue. Turn right at
the traffic lights and just follow your nose.
