They hoped it would provide enough electricity to light up a part of the great city.They bought several machines with them. These were called generators(发电机), which produced electricity power for lamps in Edisons building.Soon there were lights for the building. Edison lived in a room facing the street and he often worked over night. The light burned brightly and steadily and he often worked over night. People often came and stopped their horse-drawn carriage to look. Everyone knew that Thomas Edison was in town.First, the inventor and his assistants produced several large generators. A great deal of power would be needed to light up even a small part of the city. Then the workers were busy digging deep trenches in the hard earth below the city streets, and Edison had fourteen miles of wire laid into the trenches. The wire connected each building to a generator.Setting up an electric power system was not an easy job. It took a year and a half. In September, 1882, the job was finished.A small group of men stood around Edison inside the power house. The big moment came at last. The inventor, taking a deep breath, pulled a switch. The electric lights flashed up.“Very good! Very good!” a man nearby shouted to praise Edison for what he had done.“Sir,” said Edison, “this is only the beginning!” And Edison was right.

CPeople in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mothers Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Fathers Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地).On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone panies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.64.Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring up children. B. Parents give love and care to children.C. Parents educate children to be good persons. D. Parents pass away before children grow up.65. Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A. It has only two kinds of colors. B. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mothers Day or Fathers Day.C. Its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.66. What do you know from the passage?A. Mothers Day and Fathers Day are both in May. B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.C. Not all the children respect their parents D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.67. On Mothers Day and Fathers Day, _.A. people usually have family parties B. everyone goes to visit the cemeteryC. children always go to parents home D. hand-made cards are the most valuable giftsDBy 2050Futurologists（未来学家）predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.TV channels（频道）will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a puter will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a puter thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will e to us by puter.Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have puters to control the speed and there wont be any accidents. Today, many cars have puters that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the puter will control the car and drive it to your destination. Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours. Today, the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just 2 hours.Robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big puters prefer robotsthey dont ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywherein factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.Medical technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are devices（设备）that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again.Scientist will have discovered how to control genes（基因）. Scientists have already produced clones（克隆）of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how clever they are. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they? 68. According to the passage, the following can be realized today EXCEPT _. A. reading newspapers on a puterB. making a space shuttle go into space and land on Earth againC. creating cloned animalsD. choosing TV programs freely from a “menu”69. We can learn from the passage that some big panies prefer robots to human workers, because human workers _. A. can work 24 hours a day B. often ask for more pay C. are not clever enough D. are often late for work70. From Paragraph 5 we can infer that _. A. there will be no blind and deaf people by 2050 B. few diseases will attack people by 2050 C. devices are connected directly to the brain to help people hear D. medical technology will be more effective by 205071.

They preferred parison shopping and would go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camps when their parents couldnt afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything,” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches gave away their farmland. It was the Hatches wish that their legacya legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and centsshould enrich the whole munity and last for generations to e.Neighbors helping neighborsthat was Ish and Arlene Hatchs story.72.
