D Maybe 10 years old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you are dead." Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why. There have been many myths about safety belts since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common. Myth Number One: It’s best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident. Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing, and chances are you’ll have travelled through a windshield or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are "thrown clear". Myth Number Two: Safety belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water. Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious for not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them. Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at a speed of less than 30 miles per hour (mph). Truth: When two cars travelling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force head first into the ground from a height of 10 meters.

E President Abraham Lincoln often visited hospitals to talk with wounded soldiers during the Civil War. Once, doctors pointed out a young soldier who was near death and Lincoln went over to his bedside. "Is there anything I can do for you7" asked the President. The soldier obviously didn’t recognize Lincoln, and with some effort he was able to whisper. "Would you please write a letter to my mother" A pen and paper were provided and the President carefully began writing down what the young man was able to say: "My dearest mother, 1 was badly hurt while doing my duty. I’m afraid I’m not going to recover. Don’t grieve (悲伤) too much for me, please. Kiss Mary and John for me. May God bless you and father." The soldier was too weak to continue, so Lincoln signed the letter for him and added, "written for your son by Abraham Lincoln." The young man asked to see the note and was astonished when he discovered who had written it. "Are you really the President" be asked. "Yes, I am, "Lincoln replied quietly. Then he asked if there was anything else he could do. "Would you please hold my hand" the soldier asked. "It will help to see me through to the end." In the quiet room, the President took the boy’s hand in his and spoke warm words of encouragement until death came. What kind of man do you think Abraham Lincoln was
B People all over the world know Wimbledon as the centre of lawn tennis. In 1874 it was a country village, but it was the home of the All England Croquet Club. The Club had been there since 1864. A lot of people played croquet in England at that time and enjoyed it, but the national championships did not attract many people. So the Club had very little money. "This new game of lawn tennis seems to have plenty of action (精彩场面), and people like watching it," they thought. "Shall we allow people to play lawn tennis on some of our beautiful croquet lawns" In 1877, Wimbledon held the first world lawn tennis championships (men’s singles). Wimbledon grew. There was some surprise and doubt, of course, when the Club allowed women to play in the first women’s singles championship in 1884. But the ladies played well--even in long skirts that hid their legs and feet. Until 1907 the winners, both men anti women, were always British, but since 1936 the victory has usually gone to an American or an Australian. British people were very happy when an English girl, Ann Jones, won the championship in 1969. What made British people happy when Ann Jones won the ladies’ singles in 1969
C If there is any single factor that makes success in living, it is the ability to be benefited by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze (分析) defeat and actually learn something from it in his next undertaking (从事的工作). Wrongly taking defeat for failure, you are sure indeed to fail, for it isn’t defeat that makes you fail; it is your own refusal to see the guide and encouragement to success in defeat. Defeats are nothing to be afraid of. They are common incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to get rid of its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success but nothing can cause within us such a strong wish to succeed. If you left a baby grasp a stick and try to pull it away, he will hold it more and more tightly until his whole weight is hung up. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you make full use of the power which defeat gives; you can concrete with it fat’ more than you are able to. How much does the writer know about success
阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。 Money and Love When the Romantic Movement was still in its first favor, it was a common matter of debate (36) people should marry for love or for money. The young people concerned usually favored love, and their parents usually favored money. In the novels of the period the dilemma was felicitously (巧妙地) solved by the discovery, (37) the last page (38) the apparently penniless heroine was really a great heiress. But in real life young men (39) hoped for this denouement (结局) were apt to be disappointed. Prudent parents, (40) admitting that their daughters should marry for love, took care (41) all the young men they met should be rich. This method was sometimes very successful; it was adopted, for examplem, by my maternal grandfather, who had (42) romantic daughters, none of (43) married badly. In these days of psychology the matter no (44) looks so simple as it did eighty years ago. We realize now that money may be the cause, or part of the cause, of quite genuine love; of this there are notable examples in history. Benjamin Disraeli, (45) became lord Beaconsfield, (46) in his youth, poor and struggling and passionately ambitious. He married a rich widow, much (47) than himself, and (48) by the world to be rather silly. Owing (49) her, he was able to make his career a success. A cynical world naturally assumed that he loved her money (50) than he loved her, but in this the world was mistaken; through out the whole of their married life he was deeply and genuinely devoted (51) her. I do not suppose he would have loved her if she had been poor when he first knew her, but the gratitude which he felt for help (52) he owed to her kindly interest in him easily developed into a sincere affection. A great deal of affection is based upon the fact that its object is a help in (53) the purposes of the person who feels it. Men in whom ambition is the leading passion are likely to love women (54) assist them (55) their career, and it would be very shallow psychology to suppose that the love is not real because it has its instinctive root in self-interest.
