Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric
light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. "There is no such
thing as genius, " Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.
But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about
the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to
learn what could usefully be done with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men
enjoyment and pleasure.
Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also
loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life.
"Work," he answered. "Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier." He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.

on Thursday,Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world"s 14 highest mountains.
His last hike was up Mount Annapurna,in Asia"s snowcapped Himalayas.At 26,545 feet,its peak is the
10th highest in the world,It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.
"It tends to be the trickiest,the most dangerous,"said Viesturs."There"s no simple way to climb it.There
are threatening avalanches(雪崩)and ice falls that protect the mountain."
In high school,Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog"s tale of climbing the icy Annapurna.
Herzog"s story was of frostbite(冻伤)and difficulty and neardeath experiences.Viesturs was hooked right
away.
Viesturs got his start on Washington"s Mount Rainier in 1977,guiding hikes in the summer.Fifteen years
ago,he set out to walk up to the world"s highest peaks.Finally,he"s done.
The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with
respect."You have to use all of your senses,all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,
"said Viesturs."If we have the patience and the respect,and if we"re here at the right time,under the right
circumstances,they allow us to go up,and allow us to come down."
What"s next for a man who can"t stop climbing?"I"m going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick
back and enjoy the summer,"says Viesturs.But for a man who"s climbed the world"s 14 tallest mountains,
he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.
B.He has been to the top of the world"s 14 highest mountains.
C.He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545 feet.
D.He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.

D.Writing down the experiences about his adventure.

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first
person to win it twice.However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.
Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies" two daughters.Along with nine
other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers.She finished her high school education at the College of 
in Paris.
Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics.
When World War ? began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using Xray facilities (设备) to help
save the lives of wounded soldiers.Irene continued the work by developing Xray facilities in military
hospitals in France and Belgium.Her services were recognised in the form of a Military Medal by the
French government.
In 1918, Irene became her mother"s assistant at the Curie Institute.In December 1924, Frederic
Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work.They soon fell in love
and were married in 1926.Their daughter Helene was born in 1
927 and their son Pierre five years later.

went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed (展现) herself as she did
nowhere else.
After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate (巨头) Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline"s close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Bald"rige made a suggestion that she consider a career(职业) in publishing.After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it.Perhaps she hoped to find there
some ideas about how to live her own life.She became not less but more interested in reading.For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher"s editor,first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing (追求) a latelife career longer than her two marriages combined.During her time in publishing, she wa
sresponsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books.Among the first books
were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes.She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television conversations into a book, The Power of Myth.The book went on to become an international bestseller.She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as
he prepared his autobiography (自传),Moonwalk.
Jacqueline may have been hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her
worth.Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself.In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time
by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind.Her books are the autobiography she

lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying
that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain". In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from
his family-both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly
drama (戏剧) and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in
founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not
received favorably at the beginning. He didn"t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical
drama.
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats"s poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter
includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he
brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which
led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued
writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be
valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his
greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats"s death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote,
among others, the following lines:
Earth, receive an honoured guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel (船) lie.
Emptied of its poetry.
B. It was shocked by Yeats"s choice.
C. It was a typically wealthy family.
D. It had an artistic atmosphere.
B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.
C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.
D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Nobel Prize.
B. Sympathy.
C. Emptiness.
D. Admiration.
B. Yeats"s historical influence.
C. Yeats"s artistic ambition.
D. Yeats"s national honour.
The deal means that Rowling"s long-standing relationship with Bloomsbury, the London-based publisher that launched (发行) the Harry Potter books, has come to an end, at least in terms of new works by the
author.
Rowling is keeping her fans guessing about the characters and plot of her new book. She only said that the new novel will be nothing like the Harry Potter series, which was sold over 30 million copies in the UK alone. She thought that with the move from children"s to adult fiction, a switch to a new publisher seemed
like a natural and reasonable step.
She said, "Although I"ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, this book will be very different from the
Harry Potter series. The freedom to explore a new field is a gift that Harry"s success has brought me."
Ian Rankin, the Edinburgh-based author whose highly-successful detective novels are also set in the
city, suggested Rowling"s book will be a crime novel.
"Wouldn"t it be funny if JK Rowling"s first novel for adults turned out to be a crime story set in
Edinburgh?" he said.
Industry insiders guessed that the deal is worth more than ￡5 million and the new book is expected to come out later this year.
A spokesman said, "JK Rowling"s audience is vast and her position is unique. Harry Potter books were a global success and her fans are very loyal. Children that were eight, nine, or ten when the books first
came out in the 1990s are now in their 20s. Plenty of adults, loved the books regardless of whether they
had children, so the potential market for her is huge."
A. JK Rowling has signed a deal with a new publisher.
B. JK Rowling"s new book will be more successful than her Harry Potter series.
C. JK Rowling"s first book for adults will be published later this year.
D. JK Rowling has to switch to a new publisher in order to publish her new book.
2. JK Rowling"s new book for adults_____.
A. has been sold 30 million copies in the UK alone
B. is poorly thought of by the London-based publisher Bloomsbury
C. has nothing in common with the Harry Potter series
D. is expected to bring her more money than the Harry Potter series
3. The author used Ian Rankin"s words in order to _____.
A. tell us that some famous novelists offer to give Rowling some advice
B. show that many readers are curious about Rowling"s new book
C. tell us that many readers prefer to read detective or crime novels
D. prove that a crime story set in Edinburgh is sure to be successful
4. We can learn from the text that _____.
A. Little, Brown and Company is specialized in publishing adult books
B. the author has no doubt about the success of Rowling"s new book
C. JK Rowling will be a crime novelist as good as Ian Rankin
D. it was in Edinburgh that Ian Rankin got to know JK Rowling
