• 2．When Kate's paintings were on show in London，a poet described her paintings as "a ribbon（絲帶） around a bomb".Such comments seem to suggest Kate had a big influence on the art world of her time.Sadly，she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.
     Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City，Kate suffered from polio（小兒麻痹癥） at the age of seven.Her spine（脊柱） became bent as she grew older.Then，in1925，her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident.Throughout the rest of her life，the artist had many operations，but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back.However，the accident had an unexpected side effect.While lying in her bed recovering，Kate taught herself to paint.
     In 1929，she got married to Diego Rivera，another famous Mexican artist.Rivera's strong influences on Kate's style can be seen in her early works，but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works，show less influence from her husband.
     Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s，even in her home country.Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954.Kate's works remained largely unnoticed by the world，but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.

• 3．With nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas coming from all types of transportation，can we keep ourselves off gas-powered vehicles to avoid the worst effects？As more governments push for urgent action on climate change，quite a few companies are betting their future - that millions of consumers are finally ready for electricity-powered vehicles.Modern battery-powered cars are selling fast and zero- emission（排放）planes are coming.These changes，both leading to a more sustainable future，are reinventing how we get from here to there.
      Cars and trucks are undergoing their greatest improvement since the automobile's（汽車）existence more than a century ago.Almost overnight，the era of the electric car has arrived.Electricity has the advantage that it works without smell and with less noise.Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to soar from just over 3 million today to 14 million by 2025.Just a month after Ford unveiled an electric version of the popular F-150，customers had reserved more than 100，000 of jye.aim.The price is about ＄10，000 above the gas-powered one，but Ford says the electric model will cost much less to maintain.Everything creating a green revolution on the ground is of limited help in the sky for the time being.
      High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technological challenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands of miles.No battery yet invented can power，say，a Boeing 747 from New York to London.Promising improvements，however，do add up.Developments with zero-emission，battery-powered electric engines are already happening in commercial flight，involving trips of limited duration and distance.Airlines specializing in short journeys with small planes will lead the way to electric flight.
      Our planet's health depends on zeroing out carbon dioxide emissions by 2050，and yet，by the timetable needed to address the climate challenge，the shift away from gas-powered vehicles remains far too slow.Nevertheless，the train has left the station.Someday，electric-powered transportation will be as common as air.
  
  （1）Why are many companies switching to electricity-powered vehicles？

  
  A．To reinvent the way we travel.
  B．To cut the costs of car production.
  C．To improve the quality of products.
  D．To pursue sustainable development.
  （2）What do we know about the electric car？

  
  A．It came into use a century ago.
  B．It enjoys increasing popularity.
  C．It sells better than the traditional one.
  D．It costs less than the gas-powered one.
  （3）What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3？

  
  A．To show the disadvantages of battery power.
  B．To emphasize the significance of short flights.
  C．To stress the future prospects of electric planes.
  D．To state the developments of commercial flight.
  （4）What does the author mean by saying "the train has left the station"？

  
  A．Train transportation has improved.
  B．Green transportation is on its way.
  C．The electric train is running regularly.
  D．The gas-powered train has become the past.

• 9．Extra Good Luck I keep a two dollar bill in my wallet that was given to me by my mother when I was six years old.I am not superstitious but the bill goes with me wherever I go.
      My mother gave it to me so that luck would follow me everywhere.She looked at me and said， "I want you to carry this two dollar bill for extra good luck. " "Thanks mom， "I replied. " I will keep it close to me always."
      Every morning I would get dressed and my two dollar bill went into my pocket.My mother passed away when I was 17 years old and I remember taking out my two dollar bill.I held it in my hand for the longest time and knew that she would be watching over me the rest of my life.Each time I felt I had a crisis on my hands，I would reach for my two dollar bill and set it on the table.I would stare at it for several hours and could always come up with a solution.
      When I applied for my first job，I was thirty years old and very shy.The thought of being interviewed for a job was scary but I had to work.On my first interview，as I sat in the waiting room，I noticed there were five women ahead of me.All of the women were younger and very well dressed.One of them was impeccable in her blue striped suit with matching purse and shoes.I knew I was up against women better qualified by looking at the length of their resumes.
      Mrs.Martin，the office manager，summoned me into her office. "What makes you feel you are qualified for this job？" she asked. "I really need this job and there is nothing I cannot do， "I responded.She asked me a series of questions and the interview was over.As I exited her office，I turned around and said， "Mrs.Martin，I know that I am not qualified like your other applicants，but please give me a chance.I learn quickly and can be a very productive member of your team. "I thanked her and went home exhausted.Oh well，I thought，tomorrow would be another day.
  
      That evening as I was getting ready for bed，I received a phone call from Mrs.Martin.
