7、 and Thomas Melville, fastened thermometers to kites to record the temperature of clouds, Benjamin Franklin made his famous experiment with a kite, a string, and a key. Franklin hoped to show that natures tremendous displays of electricity in lightning were the same thing as the feeble electric spar
8、ks scientists of the day were producing in their laboratories. He built a square kite to which he attached an iron wire. He flew the kite with a hemp string(麻线), and near the base of the string he tied a large brass key. The kite rose into a dark thundercloud, where the iron wire picked up electrica
9、l charges. Franklin noticed that the strands of the string(绳串) were beginning to stand up with electricity. As rain wet the string, it conducted more electricity. Standing in the shelter of a shed, Franklin cautiously reached out his Finger to touch the brass key. A series of sparks jumped from the
10、key to his finger. He thus proved that lightning and electricity are the same.

13、 Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?“ “When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?“ When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when w
14、e look back, its too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we dont really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog.“ Is he really on your side? If he says, “Youre a lucky
15、 guy“ or “Youre a lucky gal“, thats being friendly. But “lucky dog“? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog“ bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind
16、 someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save an
17、other mistake.11 From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker _.（A）feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him（B） feels he may not have “read“ his friends true feeling correctly（C） thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, Helen（D）is sor
18、ry that his friends let him down12 In the second paragraph, the author uses the example of “Youre a lucky dog“ to show that_.（A）the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly（B） this saying means the same as “Youre a lucky guy“ or “Youre a lucky gal“（C） sometimes the words used by a speaker giv
19、e a clue to the feeling behind the words（D）the word “dog“ shouldnt be used to apply to people13 This passage tries to tell you how to_（A）avoid mistakes about money and friends（B） bring the “dog“ bit into our conversation（C） avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you（D）keep people friendly
20、without trusting them14 In listening to a person, the important thing is_.（A）to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eyes（B） to listen to how he pronounces his words（C） to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his posture（D）not to believe what he says15 If you follo

22、 I simply cant stand is “How do you feel“. Usually the question is asked of a man in actiona man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at desk. So what do you expect him to say? Hell probably say, “Fine, Im all right.“ But “Youve put a bug in his ear“, maybe now hes not sure. If you
23、 are a good friend, you may have seen something in hid face, or his walk, that he did not realize that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?“Every
24、 question has its time and place. Its perfectly acceptable; for instance, to ask “How do you feel?“ if youre visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, its no time to ask him that silly question.When G
25、eorge Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him: “How do you fell? “ Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,“ he said, “either you feel all right or youre dead.“16 According to the writer, greeting, such as “How do you feel?“ _.（A）show ones considerat

29、. But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor
30、or actress takes up work with a theatrical company(剧团), usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally action in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny. Of course, some people ha
31、ve remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a but stop, as he drove past in his car. He stopped and g
32、ot out to speak to the girl. He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police.
