5．There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages．
On the last day of one voyage，the ship was in a small port．It was winter time，and the sea was very cold，so the captain said to his sailors，"If one of you stays in the water during the whole night，I will give him my ship．But if he comes out before the sun appears，I shall get his wages．（工资）"
The sailors had heard about the captain'cheating，so they didn't trust him．But then one of them，who thought that he was cleverer than the captain，said that he would do it．He got into the water and，though it was very cold，stayed in it．When it was nearly morning，some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away．
"You are cheating，"the captain said to the sailor．"The fire's warming you．"
"But it's half a mile away．"said the sailor．
"A fire is fire，"answered the captain．
"Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages，but you can't cook a chicken，"said the sailor．
"I can，"answered the captain．
"If you cook this chicken，"said the sailor，"I shall work for you without wages for seven years，but if you can't，you will give me your ship．"
The captain agreed，took the chicken and said，"Where's the fire？"
"There it is，"answered the sailors，"On the shore．"
"‘A fire's fire'，you said，"answered the sailor．"If it is enough to warm me in the water，it is enough to cook your chicken．"

4．He was a professor．At the age of 90，he still worked eight hours every day regardless（61）of the weather．
His secretary said："He was extremely old，but he forced himself to walk from his living place to the office through two blocks．（62）Itwould take him an hour to do so，but he insisted because it made him get a sense of （63）success（succeed）．"
One day，a university student（64）stepped（step） out of his office with a pile of books．He complained："He always answers my questions with just a yes or no．However，he always gives me dozens of books and suggests me（65）finding （find） the answer on my own．"
By chance，the professor knew（66）whatthe student complained about．He explained to him with a smile："This is the method I have learnt---the（67）harder（hard） you work independently，the better solutions you will find．If you can make full use of the books，you will（68）probably（probable） become a good lawyer in the future．"
This 90-year-old man was Pound，（69）whowas the president of Law College of Harvard．He believed"all slopes are easy（70）to go（ go）"，of which he often reminded his students．

3．Have you ever had a science class that you look forward to？It doesn't happen often．But when you have a teacher like Mrs．Field，it's more than a science class．It's a science class where learning is easy and fun．There is no getting down to a huge textbook or listening to a teacher about something you don't care about．
My experience with Mrs．Field didn't start with science class，but with her as my tutor．I was always a weak reader and wasn't getting any better．My parents told me I needed to be tutored．One day after school，I went into the library with my mom for my first tutoring time．I had no idea who was tutoring me．My mom practically had to drag me into the library．The first thing we did was to play a game to get to know each other and get rid of the awkwardness．We didn't even play a reading game．
We also went around the library and I got to pick out a book I wanted to read．She didn't make me read a boring textbook about something I didn't care about．I didn't even pick a book．I picked out a magazine about remote control cars．I thought to myself，how bad could it be？To my surprise，She told me even though I was reading a magazine，I was still reading．After the first magazine，she picked out a book she liked．I would read a chapter and then she would read a chapter to me，in this way I didn't have to read for long periods of time．
As I got better and faster at reading，I was able to read two chapters in the same amount of time，which used to take me to read one chapter．
Reading is one of the most important things in high school and college to be successful．If it were not for her，I would not be the reader I am today!

D．the writer went to the library to play a reading game
23．At the library，the writerA．

B．played a reading game with Mrs．Field
C．was asked to read one chapter after another
D．had to read textbooks rather than magazines
24．What's the author's feeling about Mrs．Field according to the last paragraph？C
A．unsatisfied B．worried C．grateful D．regretful．

2．I had just graduated from medical school in India some 5years ago．It was a time when just like all other  classmates（61）was standing（stand） at the crossroads of my career．
（62）Choosing（choose） a specialty for a physician is always a difficult decision．Former students can play a  Significant role in a career direction．I was fortunate in meeting one such individual．He（63）has mentored（mentor）me  closely ever since I met him．If I have achieved anything in my professional life，I owe it in no small measure（64）to him．
Perhaps，far（65）more（much） significantly，he has provided the motivation to lead a modest life（66）characterized（characterize） by an unparalleled devotion to work．
His character was typified by his car．He drove an old Indian vehicle despite drawing an（67）internationally（international）comparablesalary．
I often used to wonder why someone who has no dearth of financial resources chose（68）to travel（travel） in  such a vehicle．Today I have realized that his car was simply（69）avehiclefor traveling from one place to  another．（70）Whenone's drive in life is one's work，the car one drives is simply incidental!

1．Do you have imagination？Do you like to solve problems？Can you？If so，you could be the next great inventor．"But I'm just a kid"，you might be!Don't worry about a little thing like age．For example，one famous inventor-Benjamin Franklin-got his start when he was only 12．At that young age，he created paddles for his hands to help him swim faster．Finally his creation led to what we know is called flippers!
So you don't have to be adult to be an inventor．One thing you do need，though，is something that kids have plenty of：curiosity and imagination．Kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways．
So what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention？Talk to a friend or family member about it．Get input from others about your idea．Then ask them to help you create a working model-called a prototype（原型）of your idea．
Once you have a prototype，you can test it．Sometimes your idea turns out to be not as great as you thought．At other times，though，you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you figure out how to make it even better．
If your idea is really a good one，an adult can help you contact companies that might be interested in it．You will also want an adult's help to get a patent for your idea，so that it is protected and can't be stolen by someone else．If you need some inspiration，consider these kids and their inventions：
Jeanie Low invented the Kiddie Stool when she was just 11．It's a folding stool that fits under the kitchen sink．Kids can unfold it and use it to reach the sink all by themselves．
At the age of 15，Louis Braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read．
Chelsea Lanmon received a patent when she was just 8for the"pocket diaper（尿布）"，a new type of diaper that includes a pocket for holding baby wipes and powder．
