While I was waiting to go into university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job wanted at a school about ten miles from where I 16 . Because I was in great need of 17 and wanted to do something useful, I applied(申请).
Three days later, a letter 18 . It asked me to see the 19 at Croydon. It proved to be a(n) 20 journey —a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of 21 a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling too hot to be nervous. Clearly, the principal 22 opened the door. He was 23 and round.
“The school” he said, “has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen.”
I should have to teach all the 24 except art, which he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into 25 groups and teach them at three different 26 , and I was not 27 at the thought of teaching maths —a subject which I didn’t do very well in at school. It was 28 that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon 29 most of my friends would be 30 themselves at that time.
Before I had time to ask about my salary(薪水), he got up to his feet. “Now,” he said. “you’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.”

A lift is wonderful. It is really only a small room. Rooms usually stay in one place. Lifts travel up and down all day long.
Sometimes a worker stands in the lift. He or she operates it up and down. In modern lifts there is no worker. The people walk in. They know what floor they want. They push a button and the lift goes to that floor. It is all very fast and easy.
Lifts are very important to us. Why? Think about a tall building. Maybe it has twenty floors. Maybe it has fifty or more. Who can walk up all the stairs? Maybe people can climb them one time. Can someone climb thirty floors to an office every day? Can small children walk up to their room on the twenty-fourth floor? Can their mother and father carry food up all those stairs? Of course not.
We can have high buildings because we have lifts. We could not have all the beautiful tall buildings in the world without lifts. They are really wonderful.
小题1:Which of the following is true?| A．A modern lift has no buttons. | | B．A modern lift has a worker to operate it. | | C．A modern lift can go up and down with no worker in it. | | D．A modern lift knows what floor people want. |
小题2:If you want to go to the floor you want, you_______.| A．ask for help | B．open the door of the lift | | C．ring the bell | D．push the right button |
小题3:Why do people have to use lifts? Because________.| A．they have tall buildings | | B．they can"t walk up and down | | C．old people and children need them | | D．lifts are wonderful |

There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today- the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect(影响) as the wheel. Then in the early 1800’s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore(探测) much anymore. They began to work instead to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.
By this time most people had a very good life, Man has a desire to explore again, the world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.
In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.
小题1:This passage talks mainly about________.
A. why cars were very important

小题4:What does “ a desire” mean in the sentence “Man had a desire to explore more.”? | A．a good way | B．a new invention | C．a strong wish | D．a wonderful idea |
