William Henry Bragg was born at Westward，Cumberland，on July 2,1862.He was educated at Market Harboroagh Grammar School and afterwards at King William’s College，Isle of Man.Elected as a minor scholar of Trinity College，Cambridge，in 1881，he studied mathematics under the well­known teacher，Dr E．J.Routh.He studied physics in the Cavendish Laboratory during a part of 1885，and at the end of that year he was elected to the Professorship of Mathematics and Physics in the University of Adelaide，South Australia.
His research interests dealt with a great many fields and he was skilled at picking up a subject，almost casually，making an important contribution，and then dropping it again.However，the work of Bragg and his son Lawrence in 1913～1914 founded a new branch of science of the greatest importance and significance，the analysis of the crystal structure by means of X­rays.It is true that the use of X­rays as an instrument for the systematic revelation of the way in which crystals are built was entirely due to the Braggs.This was recognized by the award of the Nobel Prize jointly to father and son in 1915.
He was an honorary Doctor of some sixteen universities，and a member of the leading foreign societies.Many other medals and awards were bestowed upon him among which may be mentioned the Rumford Medal in 1916 and the Copley Medal (its premier award) in 1930.
He was the author of many books，including Studies in Radioactivity，X­Rays and Crystal Structure，The World of Sound，Concerning the Nature of Things，Old Trades and New Knowledge，An Introduction to Crystal Analysis，and The Universe of Light.His favorite hobby was golf.After a life of astonishing productiveness，Sir William Bragg died on March 10,1942.
小題1:William Henry Bragg was awarded the Nobel Prize because________.
A．he succeeded in using X­rays to find out the crystal structure
B．he was the first to use X­rays to help to do his experiment
C．he determined to learn everything well and then gave them up
D．he was successful in his research work with the help of his son
小題2:According to this passage，William Henry Bragg was interested in all the subjects EXCEPT________.
A．mathematicsB．physics
C．medicineD．sports
小題3:Which one of the following is TRUE according to this passage?
A．Bragg became a professor in the University of Adelaide in 1885.
B．Bragg won the Rumford Medal and the Copley Medal in the same year.

Among professional basketball players，Jeremy Lin’s background is not typical.He graduated from Harvard University，which sends few players to the NBA，and he is the only Chinese­American NBA player.But when you watch him on the court，there is no doubt that he belongs there.He moves with speed and grace(魅力) that show years of faithful practice，which is fueled by a love for basketball.
The Family Effect
Lin’s enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan，where his father started watching it.Lin’s father moved to U．S.，and his interest in the sport only grew.He passed on this love of basketball to his son，introducing him to the game at the age of five.The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.After each game，his parents would discuss not only his score but also his conduct toward other players.This taught Lin that character was more important than playing well，a lesson he still remembers.
Rise of a Star
In high school，Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA but did not really expect to do so.When he applied for college，he was not offered a single sports scholarship.However，after his admission to Harvard，he was offered a place on its college basketball team.During Lin’s time at Harvard，his basketball career began to take off.He scored 1,482 points，making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history.Eventually，the recognition he received led him to suspect that his NBA dream could come true.
When he first graduated，no professional teams offered Lin a contract(合約)，but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League.He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.
Life in the NBA
His journey in NBA did not go very well at first.He spent most of his time on the bench during the past two seasons.He constantly compared himself to other players and gave himself no time to rest up.For the first time in his life，he no longer enjoyed playing basketball.After a few very difficult months，he realized that much of his anxiety and stress came from self­centered desires like wanting to be famous.So he transformed his attitude.He never stopped practicing and never gave up any slim chance.
Now he has become the NBA’s latest phenomenon after leading the New York Knicks to seven straight wins.He stays_humble and thinks that the credit for the winning goes to everyone in his team.Knicks fans developed nicknames for him，such as “Linsanity”，“Lincredible”，and “Linderella”．The Associated Press called Lin “the most surprising story in the NBA”．
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE of Jeremy Lin?
A．He was born in U．S.
B．He was sure of his NBA dream in high school.
C．He loves playing basketball all the time.
D．He was coldly received when he first came to NBA.
小題2:The underlined phrase “stays humble” in the last paragraph means ________.
A．tries his bestB．is modest
C．keeps working hardD．faces the difficulties
小題3:What can we learn from Jeremy Lin?
A．Hard work brings success.
B．We must have a father like Jeremy’s.
C．A good university can help us realize our dreams.
D．Team honour is more important than our own success.
小題4:What is the best title for the text?
A．What Is Next for Jeremy Lin?
B．Jeremy Lin’s Tips for Success
C．Following Dreams and Finding Joy
D．Six NBA Teams Eyeing Jeremy Lin

It was a perfect day, just the right kind of day to go fishing

Computer programmer David Jones earns ￡35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card(信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16­year­old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David' s firm releases(推出) two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.
But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage(抵押貸款),or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool­based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O­levels and working for a time in a computer shop.“I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,”he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,”he said.“But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.”David added：“I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”
小題1:In what way is David different from people of his age?
A．He often goes out with friends.
B．He lives with his mother.
C．He has a handsome income.
D．He graduated with six O­levels.
小題2:What is one of the problems that David is facing now?
A．He is too young to get a credit card.
B．He has no time to learn driving.
C．He has very little spare time.
D．He will soon lose his job.
小題3:Why was David able to get the job in the company?
A．He had done well in all his exams.
B．He had written some computer programs.
C．He was good at playing computer games.
D．He had learnt to use computers at school.
小題4:Why did David decide to leave school and start working?
A．He received lots of job offers.
B．He was eager to help his mother.
C．He lost interest in school studies.

She once said: "When people ask me if writing has been a hard or easy road I always answer with the famous saying, "the end is nothing; the road is all.'” That is what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never faced the type-writer (打字機) with the thought that one more task had to be done."
Like most writers, Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her, but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works were, like her, simple and full of the vigor (活力) of her days in Nebraska, where she grew from childhood to young womanhood and where she developed a deep love for the treeless land of the Great Plains with its wild flowers, wheat fields and rivers.
"It's a rather strange thing about the flat country," she wrote later. "It takes hold of you, or it leaves you perfectly cold. A great many people find it very dull; they like a church tower, an old factory, a waterfall country all made to look like a German, Christmas card... But when I come to the open plains, something happens. I'm home. I breathe differently."
小題1:What did Cather mean by "the end is nothing; the road is all"?
A．Writing is the only path to success.
B．I feel happy when I finish writing a book.
C．I enjoy writing whether it is hard or easy.
D．Writing itself, not its result, is important.
小題2:What was the place like where Cather grew up?
A．It was cold, plain and without a church.
B．It was a colorful world of wild flowers.
C．It was like a German Christmas card
D．It was vast, open, flat and wild.
小題3:When she said "It takes hold of you, or it leaves you perfectly cold", Willa Gather meant ______.
A．you either love the place or hate it
B．you decide either to stay or to leave
C．some find the place warm; others find it cold
D．some find the place peaceful; others find it wild
小題4:What happens when Cather comes to the open plains?
A．She breathes differently from others:
B．She wants to make the place her home.
C．She finds the place similar to her home.
D．She feels completely comfortable
