  Since 1989,Dave Thomas,who died at age 69,was one of the most recognizable faces on TV.He appeared in more than 800 commercials(商業(yè)廣告)for the hamburger chain named for his daughter.“As long as it works,”he said in 1991,“I'll continueto do those commercials.”

  Even though he was successful,Thomas remained troubled by his childhood.“He still won't let anyone see his feet,which are out of shape because he never had proper-fitting shoes,”Wendy said in 1993.Born to a single mother,he was adopted(收養(yǎng))as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan.After Auleva died when he was 5,Thomas spent years on the road as Rex travelled around seeking construction work.“He fed me,”Thomas said,“and if Igot out of line,he'd beat me.”

  Moving out on his own at 15,Thomas worked,first as a waiter,in many restaurants.But he had something much better in mind.“I thought if I owned a restaurant,”he said,“I could eat for free.“A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1986.

  In 1969,after breaking with Sanders,Thomas started the first Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers,in Columbus,Ohio,which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers.With 6000.restaurants worldwide,the chain nowmakes $ 6 billion ayear in sales.

  Although troubled by his own experience with adoption,Thomas,married since 1954 to Lorraine,66,and with four grown kids besides Wendy,felt it could offer a future for other children.He started the Dave Thomas Foundation(基金會(huì))for Adaption in 1992.

  In 1993,Thomas,who had left school at 15,graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida.He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party.The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.

  “The Dave you saw on TV was the real Dave,”says friend Pat Williams.“He wasn't a great actor or a great speaker.He was just Joe Everybody.”

The Nobel Prizes

The prizes are awarded by the Nobel Foundation(基金會(huì))for outstanding achievements or contributions in these areas: chemistry, physics, medicine or physiology, literature and peace. Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma(證書)saying that he has been awarded the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money. Often a prize is awarded to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared, maybe by two or more people who have worked together to reach a goal. Since the Nobel Prizes are international prizes, scientists, inventors, writers, and diplomats(外交官)from all countries may receive a prize. Sometimes, two people from countries with different political views may even share a prize. An example of this is the 1973 Peace Prize, which was awarded to Henry Kissinger of the United States and to Le Due Tho of North Vietnam for the Vietnam(越南)peace negotiations(談判).It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given. If there is no outstanding achievement in one of these areas, no prize is given in that area. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given. Someone must decide whether or not to give an award. The process of nominating(提名,推薦)and choosing Nobel Prize winners has two parts. First, nominations, or recommendations of people who might deserve(應(yīng)得)a Nobel Prize, are made. The nominations in physics and chemistry are made by the Royal Academy(研究員,學(xué)會(huì))of Science in Stockholm. The nominations in medicine or physiology are made by the Caroline Medical Institute, which is also in Stockholm. The Swedish Academy, along with the French and Spanish Academies, makes nominations in literature. The peace prize nominations are made by a committee of the Norwegian government. Many nominations are made in each area. Nominations from these groups begin the process of choosing the Nobel Prize winners.

The second part of the process of choosing Nobel Prize winners is to decide which of the nominees deserves the award in each area. This decision is made by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. The Foundation may decide not to give a prize at all in any area.

1.A Nobel Prize is given in the form of _____________.

A. a large quantity of money             B.a diploma

C.a gold medal                      D.all of the above

2.The 1973 Peace Prize was awarded to _____________.

A.Henry Kissinger                   B.Le Duo Tho

C.two persons from one country          D.two individuals from different countries

3.Sometimes a prize is not given because there is _____________.

A.no remarkable achievement in that area

B.no suitable nomination

C.disagreement among committee members

D.financial(經(jīng)濟(jì)的)shortage

4.The decision of literature prize winner is made by_____________.

A.the Swedish Academy and the French and Spanish Academies

B.the Nobel Foundation

C.a committee for the Norwegian government

D.the Royal Academy of Science in Stockholm

5.We can infer from this passage that_____________.

Many people have tried to simplify (簡(jiǎn)化) the spelling of English words.Unlike other languages,English sometimes spells the same sounds in very different ways.For example,there is “l(fā)ight” but “white”,“l(fā)oan” but “phone”,and there are at least seven different ways of pronouncing “ough”:“though”,“through”,“bough”,“cough”,“enough”,“ought” and “thorough”.

The American President Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in simplifying English spelling.In 1906,Andrew Carnegie started the Simplified Spelling Board.He was one of the richest men in the United States of America.The board’s plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sound.For example,the word “though” would be spelt “tho” and “through” would become “thru”.Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey,the head of the New York libraries,and Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University.They explained their idea to President Roosevelt,who thought that it was indeed logical.He immediately asked the government printer to use simplified spelling in all government letters.

But people didn’t like the change,even if it made life easier.So the new simpler spelling was not popular.More importantly,when the American politicians (政客) discussed the plan,they did not like it either.Because Roosevelt did not want to have any problems with the politicians,he changed his mind and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.

Since then no one in any government has dared to simplify English spelling.However,people do simplify some words,mainly in advertisements.For example,we often see “tonite” instead of “tonight” and “thru” instead of “through”.

68.Many people have tried to simplify English spelling because________.

A.English words are too long to remember

B.there are many mistakes in English words

C.lots of words are spelt in many different ways

D.sometimes the same sounds have different spellings

69.Who is NOT a member of the Simplified Spelling Board?

A.Andrew Carnegie.                               B.Melvil Dewey.

C.Theodore Roosevelt.                            D.Brander Matthews.

70.What was Theodore Roosevelt’s attitude towards simplified spelling?

A.Worried.                                             B.Supportive. 

C.Uncertain.                                          D.Doubtful.
