There are many kinds of pencils：some have erasers on top; some are colorful. You may have used many kinds of them for many years, but do you know the history of pencils?Many years ago, people in Egypt used lead(铅)to write. Now, pencils are made from graphite(石墨)instead of lead. In 1564, people found that graphite could leave black marks. In the beginning, the people used it to make marks on their sheep. Later they used the graphite to write. They thought it was lead. Graphite left a blacker mark than lead, but it was not strong enough so it needed something to hold it. In 1565，Conrad Gesner first put graphite into something to hold it. Later, in the 1600s, German people mixed graphite with some other things and used them for writing. Later, France couldnt get pencils from both the English and the Germans, so Nicholas Jacques Conte began to make pencils. In France, there was little graphite, so he mixed graphite with clay(粘土). In 1812，William Munroe made the fist American wood pencils. Later, a man put a small eraser on top of a pencil. A new kind of pencil was born.Choose the best choice from A, B or C according to what you read.( ) 56. People began to write with lead first in_ .A. Egypt B. England C. Germany( ) 57.

Some children were shy when they were born. Some bee very shy later because of their life experiences. In fact, everybody gets shy sometimes. It is just how much they feel shy. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they are shy. Some won,t go to a restaurant because they are too nerxous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people , so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.If shyness doesn,t stop you from doing what you want to do, being shy isn,t a big problem. Some experts say shy people are good at working because they think more and talk less. But remember not to let good opportunities pass you by just because of shyness.If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or give some performances in front of others,just do it. There,s nothing for you to be afraid of.Answer the questions according to the passage.71 What does shyness mean?_72 .Were all kinds of shyness bad for people?_73 What do most people look like when they are shy?_74 .Why are shy people good at working according to some experts?_75. What is the writer,s advice for shy people?_ ( E ) Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(购物手推车).They will, in a lifetime, push thechrome-plated contraptionsmany miles. But few will know-or even think to ask-who it was that invented them. Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business.Every day he would see shoppers lugging (吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business. On June 4,1937,Coldmans first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on themorning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldnt wait to see them using his invention. But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the cart a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.After a while, Coldman decided to ask customers why they werent using his carts. Dont you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?one shopper replied.But Coldman wasnt beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market andpretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony customers. As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people e-those Who came bought more. With larger, easier-to- handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before. Todays shopping carts are five times larger than Goldmans original model. Perhaps thats one reasonAmericans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937-before the ing of the shopping cart.76.The underlined wordschrome-plated contraptions in Paragraph 1 refer to _77.What was the purpose of Goldmans invention? _78.Why was Goldman disappointed at first? _79.Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market? _80.What do you think of Goldman?
