15.Raised by a single mother in Hartford,Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another.He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for.
"I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders,"he said."I couldn't handle it.I didn't care about life anymore."But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly.
"I was seven when I met Mrs Kelly.I wasn't used to strictness.I wasn't used to hearing the word‘no',"said Wright,now 17.
Kelly,a former soldier and an equestrian (骑手),took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place-on a horse.
"Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole'',Kelly said."He was hurting.He needed a place where he could express himself.The riding field became that place for him."
For the last 30 years,Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her nonprofit,Ebony Horsewomen.The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young  people a year.By exposing those children to horsemanship,Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around.
"We use horses as a hook to create pride,esteem and healing,"said Kelly,66."They learn that they have ability.They just have to unlock it."
"When you teach a child to ride a horse,they learn they are the center of their environment'',said Kelly."Once they make that connection,they can change what happens in school,at home and in the community."

A.Because his mother couldn't afford the fees.
B.Because his parents got divorced.
C.Because he behaved badly at school.
D.Because he didn't set a life goal.
25.How did Patricia Kelly help Fred Wright?C
A.She provided him with a home.
B.She encouraged him to learn science.
C.She exposed him to the riding field.
D.She found him a better school.
26.What do we know about the program Ebony Horsewomen?B
A.It is intended to make money.
B.It was founded by Patricia Kelly.
C.It aims to protect the environment.

10.We know the famous ones-the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells-but what about the less famous inventors?What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器)?Shouldn't we know who they are?
Joan McLean thinks so.In fact,McLean,a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range,feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic.In addition to learning"who"invented"what",however,McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the"why"and"how"questions.According to McLean,"When students learn the answers to these questions,they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try."
Her students agree.One young man with a patent(专利) for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement."If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention,"said Tommy Lee,a senior physics major,"I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive."Lee is currently negotiating(谈判) to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.
So,just what is the story behind the windshield wiper?Well,Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City.The day was cold and stormy,but Anderson still wanted to see the sights,so she jumped aboard a streetcar.Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield,she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built-in device for cleaning the window.Still wondering about this when she r eturned home to Birmingham,Alabama,Anderson started drafting out(草拟) solutions.One of her ideas,a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside,became the first windshield wiper.
Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations(创新).It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A.Morgan's traffic light.It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J.Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible.Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?
12.By mentioning"traffic light"and"windshield wiper",the author indicates that countless inventions areB.
A.beneficial,because their inventors are famous
B.beneficial,though their inventors are less famous
C.not useful,because their inventors are less famous
D.not useful,though their inventors are famous
13.Professor Joan McLean's course aims toD.
A.add colour and variety to students'campus life
B.inform students of the windshield wiper's invention
C.carry out the requirements by Mountain University
D.prepare students to try their own inventions
14.Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella wasB.
A.not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer
B.inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper
C.due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm
D.not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures
15.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?
C
A.How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?
B.How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?
C.Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?
D.Shouldn't We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?
