18、ck of wood, wet the surface of the characters with ink, and pressed sheets of paper against them. Printers in the 11th century went on to invent movable type of baked clay. The characters of the movable type could be rearranged to form different words and thus be used over and over again. The Chines

19、e alphabet has about 40 thousand characters.

In 1955, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

23、. , effectively organized the Blacks of Atlanta, Georgia, in a bus boycott. The boycott lasted two years, and when it was over, Blacks no longer were degraded by being forced to sit or stand in the rear of buses.In 1960, a group of Black college students decided that they, sis well as white persons,

24、 had the right to eat at a lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. This sit-in sparked an aggressive national movement and, in the next few years, thousands of young men and women - Black and white, North and South - overturned local laws and customs that had maintained segregation.

And when a f

28、orest fire rages out of control, threatening human lives and homes, it must be fought like a “wild animal.“ The fight is often desperate, since firefighters best efforts may be dwarfed by the fury of a large fire. But the fires own traits can be used against it.The heated air above a fire rises in a

29、 pillar of smoke and burnt gases, pulling fresh air in from the sides to replace it. Firefighters use this fact when they “fight fire with fire.“ They start a fire well in front of the one which they are fighting. Instead of traveling on in front of the huge fire, the smaller fire is pulled back tow

30、ard it by the updrafts of the larger blaze. As it travels back to meet the large fire, the smaller backfire burns away the fuel that the forest fire needs to survive.Even when a backfire has been well set, however, the fire may still win the struggle. The wind which the firefighters used to help the

31、m may now become their enemy. When the backfire meets the main fire, before both die for lack of fuel, there is tremendous flame, great heat and wild winds.

34、 mans best effortsC.heats the air above itD.may still win the struggleBPassage Four/BWhen Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer in rural Illinois, he and a certain judge in town once got to Ubantering/U with one another about horse trading. The upshot of the discussion was that they agreed that the next morn

35、ing, at nine oclock, they would meet in front of the general store and make a trade. Each would bring a horse, unseen by anyone up to that hour. If either backed out of the deal, he would forfeit $ 25. The money from each man was held by the local banker.The next morning, at the appointed hour, the

36、Judge, came up the dirt road, leading the sorriest looking specimen of a horse ever seen in those parts of Illinois.

37、 be walking.In a few minutes, however, Mr. Lincoln was seen approaching the general store carrying something quite large and bulky on his shoulders.

41、r shoes to protect their feet from harsh weather, sharp objects, and uncomfortable surfaces. Shoes are also an important part of peoples clothing.
