A man got on a train and sit beside a woman．The woman was more than thirty
year old．Soon they began talking to the other．He said to her，"Do you have a family？""Yes，I have one son，"the woman replied to．"Oh，really？"said the man．"Does he smoke？""No，"the woman answered．"That's good．"The man was glad to say，"I don't smoke，too．Smoking is bad for your healthy．And does your son often fight with other？""Oh，no．"the woman answered at once．"He never fight．""Well，"the man said．"He is a good young man．But how old is he？""Only three months old today．"The woman said with smile．

15．I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage．For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father．Totally loving．No ifs，ands or buts．
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio．The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives．Then he went on to say，"Love is an act of will．A person can choose to love．"To myself，I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband．Well，for two weeks that would change．
And it did．Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said，"That new yellow sweater looks great on you．""Oh，Tom，you noticed，"she said，surprised and pleased．Maybe a little puzzled．After the long drive，I wanted to sit and read．Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach．I started to refuse，but then I thought，"Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me．"We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites．
So it went．Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director； a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums．Relaxed and happy，that's how the whole vacation passed．I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love．
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment，however．Evelyn and I still laugh about it today．On the last night at our cottage，preparing for bed，Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression．
"What's the matter？"I asked her．
"Tom，"she said in a voice filled with distress，"I don't？"
"What do you mean？"
"Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me？Tom，you've been so good to me…am I dying？"
It took a moment for it all to be understood．Then I burst out laughing．
"No，honey，"I said，wrapping her in my arms．"You're not dying； I'm just starting to live．"

14．Humans have sewn by hand for thousands of years．It was said that the first thread was made from animal muscle and sinew （腱）．And the earliest needles were made from bones．Since those early days，many people have been involved in the process of developing a machine that could do the same thing more quickly and with greater efficiency．
Charles Wiesenthal，who was born in Germany，designed and received a patent（专利权） on a double-pointed needle that eliminated（消除） the need to turn the needle around with each stitch （缝合） in England in 1755．Other inventors of that time tried to develop a functional sewing machine，but each design had at least one serious imperfection．A Frenchman Barthelemy Thimonnier finally engineered a machine that really worked．However，he was nearly killed by a group of angry tailors when they burned down his garment factory．They feared that they would lose their jobs to the machine．
American inventor Elias Howe，born on July 9，1819，was awarded a patent for a method of sewing that used thread from two different sources．Howe's machine had a needle with an eye at the point，and it used the two threads to make a special stitch called a lockstitch．（双线连锁缝纫法） However，Howe faced difficulty in finding buyers for his machines in America．In frustration，he traveled to England to try to sell his invention there．When he finally returned home，he found that dozens of manufacturers（制造商） were adapting his discovery for use in their own sewing machines．
Isaac Singer，another American inventor，was also a manufacturer who made improvements to the design of sewing machines．He invented an up-and-down-motion mechanism that replaced the side-to-side machines．He also developed a foot treadle（脚踏板） to power his machine．This improvement left the sewer's hands free．Undoubtedly，it was a huge improvement of the hand-cranked machine of the past．Soon the Singer sewing machine achieved more fame than the others for it was more practical，it could be adapted to home use and it could be bought on hire-purchase．The Singer sewing machine became the first home equipment，and the Singer company became one of the first American multinationals．
However，Singer used the same method to create a lockstitch that Howe had already patented．As a result，Howe accused him of patent infringement（侵犯）．Of course，Elias Howe won the court case，and Singer was ordered to pay Howe royalties（版税）．In the end，Howe became a millionaire，not by manufacturing the sewing machine，but by receiving royalty payments for his invention．

A．Singer is an American inventor and manufacturer．
B．The Singer sewing company became more practical．
C．The foot treadle helped to make the sewer's hands free．
D．Singer made improvements to the design of sewing machines．
5．Why did the court force Isaac Singer to pay Elisa Howe a lifetime of royalties？B
A．Because the judge was against Singer for his surly attitude．
B．Because Howe had already patented the lockstitch used by Singer．
C．Because Singer had borrowed money from Howe and never repaid it．
D．Because Singer and Howe had both invented the same machine．
6．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage？D
A．A Stitch in Time Saves Nine
B．The Case between Howe and Singer
C．Patent Laws on the Sewing Machine
D．The Early History of the Sewing Machine．
