26、ssenger airbag, if there is any. If your child is under eight years of age and weighs more than 80 pounds, it is necessary to fit your car with a special child-safety seat.

They spent their childhood in little wooden rooms. They got little education. Washington and Lincoln, for example, never went to school and
31、 they taught themselves. Lincoln once did jobs of a worker, shopkeeper and postmaster in his early years. A large number of American presidents had experiences in the army. The two best known were Ulysses Grant and Dwight Eisenhower. Grant was a general in the American Civil War and Eisenhower was a
32、 hero in the Second World War. It happened that they graduated from the same school West Point Military Academy (西点军校 ). One may be surprised to learn that both of them did not do well in the school. Eisenhower, for example, was once fined because he broke the roles of the school. The jobs of the US
33、 president are tiring. He must keep an eye on anything important which happens both at home and abroad. Every day, a lot of work waits for him to do and he has to make many important decisions. When Franklin Roosevelt was a child, he was once brought to visit President Taft. The old president said t
34、o him, “When you grow up you should not be the president. Its a tiring job.“ 55 According to the passage, who regarded the jobs of the US president as tiring ones? （ A） Grant. （ B） Taft. （ C） Eisenhower. （ D） Roosevelt. 56 In the third paragraph, “keep an eye on“ means “_“. （ A） take care of （ B） se

37、olluted faster than ever and it seems that people cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials. What can explain and settle this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by ma
38、nby his desire for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization“ as our first aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the country-side into the cities, eager fo
39、r the achievements of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last 20 years, pollution has become a serious problem. Isnt it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? It makes one think of the story about the pilot who told his passengers over t
40、he loudspeaker,“ Ive some good news and some bad news. The good news is that were making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we are lost and dont know where were going.“ The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when speaking of our modern society. 59 Man cannot prevent t

In order to earn a little money he had written the story of his life, but not many copies of the bock had been sold in the shop, and Savage was living from
45、 hand to mouth. As a result of his lack of food he became very ill, but after a time, because of the skill of the doctor who had looked after him, he got well again. After a week or two the doctor sent a bill to Savage for his visits, but poor Savage hadnt any money and couldnt pay it. The doctor wa
46、ited for another month and sent the bill again. But still no money came. After several weeks he sent it to him again asking for his money. In the end he came to Savages house and asked him for payment, saying to Savage, “You know you owe your life to me and I expected some gratitude from yon.“ “I ag
