doctor.
My mother was a servant. Through her work, she found that 2 people spent a lot more time reading
than they 3 watching television. She told my brother and me to watch only two to three preselected TV
programs during the week. In our free time, we had to read two books from the Detroit Public Library and
4 wntten book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we
realized her marks were a trick because my mother was uneducated.
When I entered high school, I was an A-student, but not for 5 . I wanted the brightly coloured clothes
and I wanted to hang out with the guys.I went fromL being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One
night my mother came home after 6 her various jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit
shirts. She said, "Okay, I"ll give you all the money I 7 this week by scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms,
and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With everything paid off, you can have all the Italian knit
shirts you want."I was very 8 with that arrangement but once I got through allocating (分配) money, there
was 9 left.
I realized my mother was a great woman to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food
on the table, let alone buy clothes. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn"t going to get me anywhere.
Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my 10 and became an A-student again, and at last I
11 my dream and I became a doctor.

to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that
it was almost impossible for horse carriages (the taxis of those days) to get around. The city officials were
interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day.
If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to get to and from work, they would move
their homes outside of the city. This would help solve the problem of too many people living in the poor parts
of London. From these problems, the idea of the London Underground, the first subway system, was born.
The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays, but the first track was opened
in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the first underground track which was six kilometers (3.7
miles) long. About 30 000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats
(standing up while the train was moving was not allowed) and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars.
However, the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot, as well as chemical
gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its
problems, riding the Underground did become popular. It carried nine million riders in its first year.
Modem subways have come a long way since the early days of the London Underground. Today there are
94 large underground rapid transit systems around the world. The busiest of these subway systems is the
Tokyo Metro which opened in 1927. This efficient subway has two billion riders per year, and "pushers" work
on the platforms (站台) during busy traffic hours to help push riders onto trains. At times, subway cars have
been packed with up to 300 people! Shopping malls built in high traffic stations where riders move from one
train to another have also helped the popularity of subways in Tokyo. Many stations include underground
department stores, supermarkets, restaurants, and specialty shops. Shoppers never have to go above ground! | | 1. What problems led the British govemment to build the London Underground? | A. Pollution and overcrowding.

You either have it, or you don"t-a sense of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find
their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we"re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One
theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being
carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don"t use it, we lose it.
"Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around," says Jim Martland, Research
Director of the project. "However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never
develop the skills." Jim Martland also says that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their
sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions: .
●If you are using a map, tum it so it connects with the way you are facing.
●If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks
on the route as you go away from your bike. When you retum, go back along the same route.
●Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls
in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any
landmarks to help you. Now you need never get lost again! | 1. Could some people find their way across the Sahara without a map?
