His natural curiosity about things and the way they work made him try to find ways to make them work better.Ben had poor vision and needed glasses to read. He got tired of constantly taking them off and putting them back on, so he decided to figure out how his glasses let him see both near and far. He had two pairs of glasses cut in half and put half of each hens(镜片)in a single frame. Today, we call them bifocals(双光眼镜).Everyone knows the story of Ben's famous kite flight. Although he made important discoveries and advancements, Ben did not "invent" the electricity. He did, however, invent the lighting rod which protects buildings and ships from lighting.In colonial America, most people warmed their homes by building a fire in a fireplace even though it was dangerous and used a lot of wood. Ben figured that there had to be a better way. His invention of an iron furnace stove allowed people to warm their homes less dangerously and with less wood. The furnace stove that he invented is called the Franklin Stove. Interestingly enough, Ben also established the first fire company and the first fire insurance company in order to help people live more safely.As a postmaster, Ben had to figure out routes for delivering the mail. He went out riding in his carriage to measure the routes and needed a way to keep track of the distance. He invented a simple odometer and attached it to his carriage.Later, other famous inventors, like Thomas Alva Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, followed in Ben's footsteps by trying to find ways to help people live better.46.

How to help people live betterBPeople all want to improve the way they study. Many students say that a lack of concentration is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results. If so, use these tips to help you.Study TechniqueslYou should always study in the same place. You shouldnt sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Dont watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.lYour eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.lBe realistic and dont try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat. Test-taking SkillslAll your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.lExercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too.lWhen you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.50. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. You should study in a different place every day, so you dont get bored.B. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.C. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.51. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to?A. Your textbook. B. Your dictionary.C. Your study desk or table.D. The equipment you need.52. What can be inferred from the passage?A. You shouldnt look at everyone else during the test.B. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.C. A white wall is a must for you to concentrate more.D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.CI would always remember that day. When I was14, all I wanted was a unique necklace with my name carved. It was the "in" thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 15th birthday, my Mum gave me a beautiful necklace with my initials (姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being "replaced". We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everythingso most of the “new" stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my necklace. My necklace was new.Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. “Youll recognize this one at once," she said, smiling.Then she handed me a small box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful necklace inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the necklace. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the necklace. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.53.The underlined word "in" in the first paragraph probably means "_".A. available B. fashionable C. practical D. renewable54.When she got the necklace back, the writer was about _.A. 30 years old
