When Charles Strattion was five, he stopped growing. His mother took him to see the famous showman, P.T.Barnum, and thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles’ parents along with him, and they traveled around the world together. He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a new name, general Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act, and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England. During the show, Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall. Tom’s act was very popular and brought in a lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich. He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty-five. Fortunately for Tom, Mr. Barnum added more little people to his show, and Tom became lucky in love as well. One of the little people was Lavinia Warren, a school teacher. Tom was able to win her love, and they married. The ceremony and reception were the talk of the town.

Hundreds of people lined up at Grand Central Terminal yesterday, but they weren’t there to catch a train. They came to New York City’s famous railroad station to trade in old dollar bills for the new George Washington Presidential苊1 coin. The gold-colored coin is the first in a new series by the U.S. Mint(造幣廠)that honors former U.S. Presidents. The Mint will issue(發(fā)行) four Presidential苊1 coins a year through 2016. Like the popular 50 State Quarters program, which issues coins in the order in which each state joined the Union, Presidential苊1 coins will come out in the order in which each President served. The George Washington coin is the first to be released. John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison coins will come out later this year. The Presidential 苊1 coins will be the same size and color as the Sacagawea Golden Dollar. However, there is an important difference. For the first time since the 1930s, there is an inscription(題字)on the edge of each coin. Each coin will show a different President on its face, or head side. It will also show the President’s name, the order in which he served and his years in office. The other side of the coin will show the Statue of Liberty and the inscriptions “United States of America” and “苊 1”. There will be one Presidential苊1 coin for each President, except Grover Cleveland. He will have two! Cleveland is the only U.S. President to have served two nonconsecutive(不連續(xù)的)terms. The last President scheduled to get a coin is Gerald Ford because a President must have been dead for two years before he can be on a coin. 小題1: Why did people line up at the railway station? A.To book train tickets. | B.To exchange money. | C.To visit a coin show. | D.To visit the station itself. |
小題2:In which order will the Presidential苊1 coins come out? A.Each state joined the Union. | B.Each President was born. | C.Each President took office. | D.Each President died. |
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that . A.there are no words on the Sacagawea Golden Dollar | B.the new coin can buy more than the old coin | C.the new coin takes on a white color | D.the Sacagawea Golden Dollar is bigger |
小題4:Why will Grover Cleveland have two coins? A.He served longer than any other President. | B.He is the most famous President in the U.S. | C.He is the only one who has served two terms. | D.He served two terms but not continuously. |
小題5:Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A.Presidential苊1 coin issued. | B.Different ways to honor Presidents. | C.The differences between Presidential苊1 coin and other coins. | D.Collections of old dollar bills. |
