I went into a restaurant where everyone from the poorest to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an old, poorly-dressed man. who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I thought that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked, “May I get you something?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked.“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the worlds richest and most powerful men!”My few minutes with Mr.Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.21. What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean? A.

One study showed that forty percent of those killed in auto accidents could have been saved if they had been wearing seat belts.Unfortunately belts are worn only by a small percentage of drivers and passengers-about fifteen percent in cities, and only nine percent in small towns. And safety belts cannot protect people who do not wear them.In order to find out what kinds of people do wear seat belts, a study was made in several cities of the United States. The following facts were learned about those who use their safety belts:1. They do not smoke while driving.2. They have had more education than non-users.3. They know someone who was injured(but not killed) in an automobile accident.Advertisements based on these facts have been printed in newspapers and magazines in order to teach people the importance of using seat belts. But these advertisements have not helped much. Some people believe there should be a law requiring drivers and passengers to use safety belts. In Australia, where there is such a law, deaths in auto accidents have decreased twenty-four percent.29. The selection is mainly about _.A. automobiles in the United StatesB. accident involving carsC. safety belts for drivers and passengersD. traffic jams30. The selection says that in Australia _.A. a law requires drivers and passengers to use seat beltsB. about 50% of the drivers wear seat beltsC. the importance of seat belts is advertised in newspapers and magazinesD. the auto accidents have kept the same percent31. In Australia, where there is such a law, deaths in auto accidents have decreased _.A. twenty-four percentB. fifty percentC. ten percent D. fifteen percent32. Many studies have shown that seat belts can save lives of those _.A. who never wear seat beltsB. who seldom wear seat beltsC. who are wearing seat belts when the accidents happenD. who sit at the back of the carsDMost people usually traveled by ship and train which are driven by steam engine. It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine？The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a workers family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldnt tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.33. The main idea of the passage is _.A. James Watt invented the steam engineB. James Watt first used horse-power as a unit of measureC. how much power does a horse haveD. why Watts engine is called a ten horse-power engine34. The story says that Watt made the first _.A. engine B. horse-power engine C. useful engine D. widely used steam engine35.
