George Washington Carver showed that plant life was more than just food for animals and humans. Carver’s first step was to analyze plant parts to find out what they were made of. He then combined these simpler isolated substances with other substances to create new products.

The branch of chemistry that studies and finds ways to use raw materials from farm products to make industrial products is called chemurgy. Carver was one of the first and greatest chemurgists of all time. Today the science of chemurgy is better known as the science of synthetics(合成纖維織物). Each day people depend on and use synthetics made from raw materials. All his life Carver battled against the disposal of waste materials, and warned of the growing need to develop substitutes(代用品) for the natural substances being used up by humans.

Carver never cared about getting credit for the new products he created. He never tried to patent(申請專利) his discoveries or get wealthy from them. He turned down many offers to leave Tuskegee Institute to become a scientist in private industry. Thomas Edison, inventor of the electric light, offered him a laboratory in Detroit to carry out food research. When the United States government made him a collaborator in the Mycology and Plant Disease Survey of the Department of Agriculture, he accepted the position with the understanding that he wouldn’t leave Tuskegee. An authority on plant disease—especially of the fungus(真菌) variety—Carver sent hundreds of specimens(標本) to the United States Department of Agriculture. At the peak of his career, Carver’s fame and influence were known on every continent.

What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. It mainly tells us about Gorge Washington Carver, a great chemurgist.

B. It mainly tells us about chemurgy.

C. It mainly tells us about the research made in Tuskegee.

D. It mainly tells us about the development of making synthetics.

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的)to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat untidy. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.

We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,

“May I get you something ?”

“A coffee would be nice.”

Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,

“How did you get to know Mr. Gal breath?”

“Who?”

“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”

I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!

My few minutes with Mr. Gal breath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.

The author bought coffee for the old man because     

A. he thought the old man was poor     B. he wanted to start a conversation

C. he intended to show his politeness    D. he would like to thank the old man

A. Proud.    B. Pitiful.    C. Surprised.    D. Regretful

What is the message mainly expressed in the story?

Today is my father’s birthday. To celebrate his birthday, I went to a shop and choose a present for him. After that, I went home by the train. On the way, I was imagining how happily my father would be when he accepted the present. The train got to the next stop before I knew it. An old lady got the train. Every seat was taken, but she had to stand with two heavy bags in both of her hand.

After an immediate hesitation(猶豫), I gave my seat to her and he was grateful for all what I did.

In my opinion, give others a hand whenever they are in trouble not only brings happiness to the ones who receive it but also to the ones who give it.
