　　You may think a spinster is an old aunt who never married. But spinsters were important people in American history.

　　During colonial times women gathered in groups to do the important job of spinning while they discussed the Politics of the day. These spinners, or “spinsters”, formed the first official women's organization. Today, many working

　　groups like this exist to do other important jobs.

　　In the late 1700s, the spinster's work became especially important. Since the manufacture of cloth was one of England's most important industries, the mother country wanted the American colonies to buy as much cloth as possible. England did not care if the colonies did not get a fair deal in the trade.

　　The spinsters created a plan to force England to change the unfair laws. They knew that England would have a hard time if the colonies stopped ordering cloth. The central idea of their plan was to start making much more American cloth.

　　The idea caught on. The spinsters' rough cloth, called homespun, became popular. Even wealthy people who could afford fine cloth began to wear homespun. It became another sign that the colonies wanted to break with England and stand on their own. The spinsters hoped make great changes in the colonies in those days before the Revolution.

Although man has known asbestos for many hundreds of years, it was not until 160 years ago that it was mined for the first time on the North American continent. H. W. Johns, owner of a New York City Supply Shop for roofers, was responsible for(对…负责) the opening of that first mine.

Mr. Johns was given a piece of asbestos which had been found in Italy. He experimented with the material and then showed its surprising powers to his customers. After putting on a pair of asbestos gloves, which looked much like ordinary work gloves, he took red-hot coals from the fireplace and played with them in his hands. How astonished the customers were to discover that he was not burned at all. You can well imagine that he had increasing business in asbestos roofing materials. However, because it was very expensive to transport (carry) them from Italy to the United States, Mr. Johns sent out a young scientist to seek a source nearer home. This young man found great vein(岩脉), in the province of Quebec in Canada.

Ever since 1881 Quebec has led the world in the production of this unusual mineral, which is made up of magnesium, silicon, iron, and oxygen. When it is mined, the asbestos is heavy, just as you would expect a mineral to be. When it is separated, a strange thing happens; the rock breaks down into fine, soft, soapy fibres(纤维).

Scientists do not know why the rock can be separated easily into threads(线), but they have found thousands of uses of this fireproof material, of the so-called “cloth of stone”.

1. Which title best expresses the main idea of this passage?

A. Asbestos mined in Canada B. Fireproof matter

C. A “wonder” mineral D. A new roofing material

2. Johns proved his ability as a salesman by_______.

A. going into roofing business B. carrying asbestos from Italy

C. sending a trained scientist D. showing the use of asbestos gloves

3. Which is the most important character of asbestos that the author wants to show us?

A. It is like thread. B. It feels soapy.

C. It burns easily. D. It is unusually heavy.

4. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage was to _______.

A. show the need for more scientists

A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.
Walking up to a department store’s cloth counter, a(n) 1   young woman said, “I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?”
“Only one   2   per yard,” replied the smirking (自鸣得意的) male clerk.
Not to be taken back by the funny words, the woman said,” That’s fine! I’ll take ten yards.”
With   3  written all over his face, the clerk   4   measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly, 5  forward to receive his “ 6  ”.
The woman got the package quickly from the clerk and pointed to a little old man standing beside her. “Grandpa will pay the bill instead of me,” she   7  .
He was no doubt disappointed. But in the course of living, many people are 8         when others do not   9  their expectations. In order to be happy, some expectations must be dropped. These three particular   10   and unhealthy expectations are some of the main causes:
1. Expect too much 11  .When others say, “Thank you,” or in any way to show their gratitude, be happy. It is a gift!
2. Expect others to make you happy. They simply cannot do that. Make yourself happy and       12  your joy with others.
3. Expect not to be 13   . At times, people will simply not come through for you in the way you need. 14   them and move on.
Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations and you can begin to expect more   15        right away!
