Rocky Lyons was five years old when his mother,Kelly,was driving along the country road with him.He was asleep on the front seat of their truck,with his feet resting on her lap.As his mom drove carefully down the winding country road,she turned onto a narrow bridge.The truck hit a rock and slid off the road.She attempted to bring it back up onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal(踏板) and turning the steering wheel(方向盘) to the left.But Rocky’s foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the truck.
The truck fell into a 20­foot ravine(峡谷).When it hit bottom,Rocky woke up.“What happened,Mama?” he asked.“Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”
Kelly was seriously wounded and blinded by blood.“I’ll get you out,Mama,”announced Rocky,who had surprisingly escaped injury.He climbed out from under Kelly,slid through the open window and tried to yank his mother out.But she didn’t move.
“Just let me sleep,” begged Kelly,who was out of consciousness.Rocky insisted,“Mom,you can’t go to sleep.”
Rocky managed to push Kelly out of the truck and told her he’d climb up to the road and stop a car to get help.Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark,Kelly refused to let him go alone.Instead they slowly moved up to the road.The pain was so great that Kelly wanted to give up,but Rocky wouldn’t let her.
Rocky kept repeating the inspirational phrase,“I know you can,I know you can.”When they finally reached the road,Rocky broke into tears seeing his mother’s torn face clearly for the first time.Waving his arms and shouting, “Please stop!” the boy stopped a truck.His mother was sent to hospital.
It took 8 hours to rebuild Kelly’s face.She looks quite different today—“I used to have a straight long nose,thin lips and high cheekbones;now I’ve got a flat cheeks and much bigger lips”—but she has few scars and has recovered from her injuries.
Rocky’s heroics were big news.Everyone was surprised at this little boy’s power.“It’s not like I wanted it to happen,” the boy explained.“I just did what anyone would have done.” “If it weren’t for Rocky,I’d have died,” said his mother.

One day in 1965,when I worked at View Ridge School in Seattle,a fourth­grade teacher approached me.She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed a challenge.“Could he help in the library?” she asked.I said, “Send him along.”
Soon a slight,sandy­haired boy in jeans and a T­shirt appeared.“Do you have a job for me?” he asked.
I told him about the Dewey Decimal System(杜威十进分类法) for shelving books.He picked up the idea immediately.Then I showed him a stack(摞) of cards for long­overdue books that I was beginning to think had actually been returned but were misshelved with the wrong cards in them.He said,“Is it kind of a detective job?” I answered yes,and he became working.
He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and announced,“Time for break!”He argued for finishing the finding job;she made the case for fresh air.She won.
The next morning,he arrived early.“I want to finish these books,”he said.At the end of the day,when he asked to be a librarian on a regular basis,it was easy to say yes.He worked untiringly.
After a few weeks I found a note on my desk,inviting me to dinner at the boy’s home.At the end of a pleasant evening,his mother announced that the family would be moving to a neighbouring school district.Her son’s first concern,she said,was leaving the View Ridge library.“Who will find the lost books?” he asked.
When the time came,I said an unwilling good­bye.I missed him,but not for long.A few days later he came back and joyfully announced,“The librarian over there doesn’t let boys work in the library.My mother got me transferred back to View Ridge.My dad will drop me off on his way to work.And if he can’t,I’ll walk!”
I should have had an idea such focused determination would take that young man wherever he wanted to go.What I could not have guessed,however,was that he would become a genius of the Information Age:Bill Gates,tycoon(企业巨头) of Microsoft and America’s richest man.
小题1:What was the author when the story happened?

C.To find out the books with wrong cards in them.

William Henry Bragg was born at Westward,Cumberland,on July 2,1862.He was educated at Market Harboroagh Grammar School and afterwards at King William’s College,Isle of Man.Elected as a minor scholar of Trinity College,Cambridge,in 1881,he studied mathematics under the well­known teacher,Dr E.J.Routh.He studied physics in the Cavendish Laboratory during a part of 1885,and at the end of that year he was elected to the Professorship of Mathematics and Physics in the University of Adelaide,South Australia.
His research interests dealt with a great many fields and he was skilled at picking up a subject,almost casually,making an important contribution,and then dropping it again.However,the work of Bragg and his son Lawrence in 1913~1914 founded a new branch of science of the greatest importance and significance,the analysis of the crystal structure by means of X­rays.It is true that the use of X­rays as an instrument for the systematic revelation of the way in which crystals are built was entirely due to the Braggs.This was recognized by the award of the Nobel Prize jointly to father and son in 1915.
He was an honorary Doctor of some sixteen universities,and a member of the leading foreign societies.Many other medals and awards were bestowed upon him among which may be mentioned the Rumford Medal in 1916 and the Copley Medal (its premier award) in 1930.
He was the author of many books,including Studies in Radioactivity,X­Rays and Crystal Structure,The World of Sound,Concerning the Nature of Things,Old Trades and New Knowledge,An Introduction to Crystal Analysis,and The Universe of Light.His favorite hobby was golf.After a life of astonishing productiveness,Sir William Bragg died on March 10,1942.

I could see the young man watching and listening with a smile on his face.  
We were putting our groceries on the       when the clerk finished with       order. What I didn't know was that he had heard my kids       bubble gum.

In 1943, during the Second World War the body of an English man, William Martin, was discovered off the Spanish coast. The papers he had been carrying were returned to England, where they were carefully examined. They had clearly been changed and that was exactly what the British had hoped would happen, for Martin was a trick designed to fool the Germans.
  Martin did not exist. The body was that of a sailor who looked as though he had died when his boat sank, but in fact he had been ill and died. Leaving the boat to go down, his parents allowed the dead body to be put into the sea near Spain. It was hoped that the Germans would find it and read the fake(假的)papers he carried.
  The papers said that the British would attack the island of Sardinia, when in fact they planned to attack the island of Sicily. The trick was successful. When the British landed on Sicily, most of the heavy German guns had been moved to defend(保卫) Sardinia.
小题1:______ put the papers on the dead man.
A.The BritishB.German spiesC.Spanish soldiersD.William Martin
小题2:When the Germans found William Martin they probably thought he _________.
A.was a British spy with important information about the war
B.was killed by the British soldiers
C.died of an illness
D.had the fake papers of the British Army
小题3:When the British found out the papers were changed they concluded _________.
A.Martin did existB.Martin was a German spy
C.the Germans had read the papersD.they should attack Sardinia

When Mr. Smith was walking one evening, he met four of his old friends. To be polite, he invited them to come home with him to      . He hoped that they would say no, but      , they quickly agreed and       home with him.
