A man named Smith was sitting on his roof during a flood, and the water was up to his feet.Before long a fellow in a canoe passed and shouted, "Can I give you a lift to higher ground?"

"No, thanks," said Smith. "I have faith (信賴) in God and he will save me."

Soon the water rose to Smith's waist (腰). At this point a motor boat pulled up and someone called out, "Can I give you a lift to higher ground?"

"No, thanks, I have faith in God and he will save me."

"No, thanks," said Smith. "I have faith in God and he will save me." But after hours of struggling with water, poor tired Smith drowned (淹沒). As he arrived at the Pearly Gates, Smith met God and complained about this. "Tell me, God," he said, "I had such faith in you to save me and you let me drown. What happened?"

God replied, "What do you want from me? I sent you two boats and a helicopter."

Andrew Carnegie—the King of Steel(鋼鐵),was born in 1835, in Scotland. In 1848, his family moved to America to look for a better chance for making money. Andrew Carnegie had a few years’ schooling. He worked from an early age.

In the early 1870s, Carnegie built his first steel company with others. Over the next few years, he built his own steel industry in the US, and became one of the wealthiest men in America.

Carnegie believed that people should win success through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the rich should use their money for the improvement and development of the society. He didn’t agree to always provide help for the poor. He thought it was important to provide educational chances to allow the poor to help themselves.

His more contributions(貢獻(xiàn)) to society include the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh. It has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also built a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other contributions to society are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to develop understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to provide money for scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.

Few Americans have been left not touched by Andrew Carnegie’s kindness. His contributions of more than five million dollars built 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the public library system that we all enjoy today.

1.Which of the following is the correct order about Andrew Carnegie?

A. ①②③④ B. ②③①④

C. ②①④③ D. ④③②①
