题目内容

“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these people only help you to help yourself.
There have been many great men in history. Many of them were very poor when they were young, and had no uncles, aunts, or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend on them for education. They tried their best to learn something and never gave up till they became well-known. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”
Some young men don’t try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. If they see their weak points and change their ways, they can be successful. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as(只要) they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on themselves.
【小题1】Why did many men succeed?

A．Because they had good education.
B．Because they wanted very much to become well-known.
C．Because they worked hard.
D．Because their families were very rich.
【小题2】What can a teacher do according to the famous teacher in England?
A．A teacher can make his pupils men of strength and courage.
B．A teacher can make his pupils worthy.

She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick hus-band .So everything hard fell on to the young boy’s shoulders :to take care of his father and the sister Chenchen ,and to go on to study .
Although his life was hard ,Hong didn’t go away from hisfather and sister .He worked in part-time jobs to feed his family .He climbed tall trees to get birds’eggs for his sister .He walked two hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school .A few years later ,he studied at a sollege .To take care of Chenchen ,he worked hard to rent a room near his college for her ,and send her to school .

Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by “culture”? Recently social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture, too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life that a group of people have in common. Culture is the forms of behavior (行为) that help people to live together. It is also the forms of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.

Human beings use tools, cooperate(合作) with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects(方面)of human behavior, or “culture”, can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools , for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.

1.According to the article, “culture” means_____.

A. the languages we learn

B. the good habits we share with each other

C. the forms of behavior we have in common

2.The traditional idea about dividing animal from human beings is that ______.

3.From the chimpanzees can use and make tools, we know____.

A. animal may have a culture like our own
