20、l find it easier to get a copy of whatever youre looking for, thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries.

You can borrow movies on DVDs, music on CDs, and popular magazines. Some libraries even loan out toys and games. If a popular magazine you want isnt offere

22、d and the library keeps a list of such requests, they may bring it in when enough interest is shown. Join targeted reading groups. Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted to various age groups. Perhaps youd like to learn a language or improve your English. The library may sponsor a

23、 language group you could join. If you have difficulties reading, ask about special reading opportunities. Your library might be able to accommodate you. And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book. Start a busin

B“They tell me that youd like to make a statue（塑像）of me is that correct, Miss Vinnie Ream?” The deep, ge

30、ntle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter, especially for a seventeen-year-old girl. “Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wouldnt have dared to ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan to ma

31、ke it in an admirable manner. ” President Lincoln smiled. “Painters, sculptors theyve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but Im afraid theres not much hope. What did you have in mind, Miss Ream? A bust（半身像）?” Before Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shade of apology in

32、 his voice. “Of course I shouldnt have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size. ” Vinnies face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small does not mean weak, sir,” she defended herself. “I was born in the country of Wi

33、sconsin. Ive driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-length clay（粘土）figure would not exhaust my strength and that is what I intend to do!”The Presidents eyes, brightened at her show of spirit. “Sorry, madam, I have underestimated you as I didnt know your background. ” But his smile f

34、aded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers, in thought. “Miss Ream,” he sighed, “Id like to let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now? I hardly have a minute to myself. ” Vinnie glanced around and noted the size o

35、f his office. “I work quickly,” she said. Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. “If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk. ” The President seemed to consider her

36、 idea seriously. He got up and shook Vinnies hand warmly, “Ive heard that you are a talented young woman, and I have found you charming and intelligent as well. I cannot make my decision immediately, but you will hear from me soon. ” The very next day, Vinnie received an invitation from the Presiden

37、t. 41. What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln? A. Her aggressive personality. B. Mr. Millss encouraging remark. C. President Lincolns gentle voice. D.

40、romote excellence. C. Ups and downs make one strong. D. Devotion requires enthusiasm. CFor people, who are interested in sound, the field of sound technology is definitely making noise. In the past, sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios, but many of todays sound professionals

41、 are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound. Sound can be used as a weapon. Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief. The thief tries to escape. And the officer cant let him get away. He pulls out

42、 a special device, points it at the suspect, and switches it on. The thief drops to the ground. This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device（LRAD, 远程定向声波发射器）. It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of l

43、ight and travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly. For those who hunger for some peace and quiet, sound can now create silence. Lets say you are at the airport, and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming（哼唱）a short commercial song. He hums it over and over again, an

44、d you are about to go crazy. Thanks to the Silence Machine, a British invention, you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents. One may wonder how the Silence Machine works. Well, it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing

45、waves. The two sets of waves cancel each other out. Simply turn the machine on point it at the target, and your peace and quiet comes back. Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights（聚光灯）are used in the theater. A spotlight lights up only on

46、e section of a stage; similarly, a spotsound creates a circle of sound in one targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu, all

47、owing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining. Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes. 46. What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD?A. It causes temporary hearing loss. B. It slows down a running man. C

48、. It makes it easy to identify a suspect. D. It keeps the suspect from hurting others. 47. The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to _. A. silence the people around youB. remove the sound of commercialsC. block the incoming sound wavesD. stop unwanted sound from affecting you48. What fea

49、ture do spotsounds and spotlights share? A. They travel in circles. B. They clear the atmosphere. C. They can be transformed into energy. D. They can be directed onto a specific area. 49. Directed sound can be used for _. A. creative designs of restaurant menusB. ideal sound effects on the theater s

50、tageC. different choices of music for businessesD. strict control over any suspicious customer50. What does the passage focus on? A. How professionals invented sound products. B. Inventions in the field of sound technology. C. The growing interest in the study of sound. D. How sound engineers work i

51、n their studios. DAfter years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who

52、had both. The two belong together. Together, these deep human urges（驱策力）count for much more than ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were

53、curious and asked in discontent, Why? Why? Why?Fortunately, curiosity and discontent dont have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them. The great man, said Mencius（孟子）, is he who does not lose his childs heart. Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop ch

54、allenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied. Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them

55、, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake. How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldnt arrange flowers to satisfy hers

56、elf. She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement. One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You havent any special ability? Most people dont; there are only a few geniuses. You havent any time? Thats good, because its always

57、the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Toms Cabin while cooking. Youre too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78. However you start, remembe

58、r there is no better time to start than right now, for youll never be more alive than you are at this moment. 51. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to _. A. propose a definitionB. make a comparisonC. reach a conclusionD. present an argument52. What does the example of Galileo tell us? A. Trial

59、 and error leads to the finding of truth. B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious. C. Creativity results from challenging authority. D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore. 53. What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent? A. Observe the unknown around you. B. Develop a

60、questioning mind. C. Lead a life of adventure. D. Follow the fashion. 54. What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7? A. Gaining success helps you become an expert. B. The genius tends to get things done creatively. C. Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action. D. You should remain mo

61、dest when approaching perfection. 55. What could be the best title or the passage? A. Curious Minds Never Feel ContentedB. Reflections on Human NatureC. The Keys to AchievementD.

For the first time in my life, I actually felt cool. Now I know who I am！ Im Tysons little brother, but thats only part o
