Having returned from her round trip (往返旅程), the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes (應(yīng)給予) me￡12,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office, “you sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡12.”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, madam,” he said politely, “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“Yes,” She answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”
“That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”
“I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”
“Err, well…” the woman looked at the child. “I mean… she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”
“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs… let me see…￡13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe ￡1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”
The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.
小題1:The woman was angry because__________.
A．she couldn’t use the ticket for her round trip
B．she had to return home a day earlier than she had planned
C．she spent more money than she had expected
D．Harry had sold her a ticket to Jersey where there was no sailing
小題2:Harry started talking to the little girl__________.
A．because he was in difficulty and did not know what to do
B．because he had a little girl about the same age as this girl
C．because he wanted to be friendly to the little girl who looked so nice
D．when he suddenly realized that he could find a way out from the little girl
小題3:The woman left the office without saying anything because__________.
A．she wanted to go home and get money for the child’s ticket
B．she was so angry that she didn’t want to have anything more to do with the young man

Thomas Edison was a great American inventor. He was born to a poor family in 1847. His mother taught him at home. He often observed things carefully and he made over 1,300 inventions during his life time. He was often said to be the greatest genius(天才) of his age. There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He also said that what people called genius was mostly hard work. But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.
Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work, ” he answered back, “discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.
小題1:Edison was______________.
A．interested in changing people’s ideas
B．interested in discovering the secrets of nature

A．Many other people have changed Edison’s life.
B．Edison has changed the lives of many other people.
C．Only a few men in history can change other people’s lives.

小題3:The last sentence in the passage most probably implies(意指)___________.
A．people of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 year’s work
B．Life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beings
C．Edison made 100 inventions in his life
D．Edison was able to live and work for 100 years
