    The horsepower was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the world’s first widely used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring power.

    Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.

    He discovered that a horse could lift a 3,300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3,300 pound weight 100 feet in one minute.

    Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten-horsepower engine.

第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words : I’m sorry . Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say. 71  

It’s not about winning.

Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong , or by making him be the first to apologize .

In reality, you’ll BOTH LOSE if you let your fight ruin your friendship, and you will BOTH WIN if you find a way to heal it.

72   

You may have heard the expression.“His pride stood in the way .”It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be “ right ” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever . 73    Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.

Take the first step.

Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship? 74    You don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for. Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long , or that you overreacted (反应过度) to something your friend did . If you say you’re sorry, it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same.  75   

A. Then try to be the first to apologize.

B. Stop thinking about your pride.

C. It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument.

D. Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about.

E. Here are some things to keep in mind.

F. There are some special cases when you shouldn’t be the one to apologize first .

G. Once you’ve both said it, you’ll both feel a million times better .

.If you want to be ___success in ____business world, you need ____ high level of

English competence.

A. a ; a ;a       B. a ;the ;a         C. x ; the ; x           D. x ; the; the
