23、   Linda Evans was my best friend. We did everything together, piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea how to find Linda.

Over the years, I missed Linda very much, I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked a lot like Linda and whose last name was Wagman—Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”

Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled，and there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: we won’t lose each other again!

24、What does the word “patent (专利权)” mean to you? Does it interest you? If it does, stop and think a moment about some of the common things that you use every day: the telephone, radio, television, and the thousands of other things that enrich our lives today, were once only ideas in the minds of men. If it had not been possible to patent their ideas, so as to protect them from being copied, these inventions might never have been fully developed to serve human beings.

If there were no patent protection, there would be little encouragement to invent, for once the secrets of an invention became known, those who did not experience the inventor’s risks and expenses (花费) might well fill the market with their copies of his product and steal much of the benefit (益处) of his efforts.

The most basic values in the U. S. patent system came from England. During the rule of Queen Elizabeth I in England, the growing technology was furthered by the giving of exclusive privileges (独家特权) to people who had invented new processes (程序) or tools—a step that did much to encourage creativity. Later, an important value was added: society had everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving exclusive privileges to an inventor, because a patent for an invention was given for something new that society never had before.

George Washington signed the first patent law on April 10, 1790, and less than four months later, the first patent was given to a man named Samuel Hopkins for a chemical process, an improved method in soap making.

In 1936, the Patent Office became a separate department and it has grown into an organization of over 2,500 people who every week deal with more than 1,600 patent applications, and of those, give more than 1,000. A patent may be given for any new and useful process, machine, or planning method.

The patent system has also helped to improve the pay of the American worker to an unexpected level; he can produce and earn more by using computers or adding machines, two important patented inventions. Patented inventions also help keep prices down by encouraging competition.

Our patent laws, like the Constitution from which they grew, have stood the test of time. They have encouraged creative processes, brought great benefits to society as a whole, and enabled American technology to outstrip that of the rest of the modern world.

【1】From the passage, what can we learn about inventors?

A．They make a lot of money.

B．They fight against copiers.

C．They have a lot of experience.

D．They put effort into inventions.

【2】Why were inventors given exclusive privileges?

A．Because their inventions made leaders happy.

B．Because their creativity is very important.

C．Because their inventions could enlarge society.

D．Because they were the smartest people in society.

【3】According to the passage, the patent system is good for America because ________.

A．it helps more workers get jobs

B．it provides a first-class service

C．it produces less expensive things

D．it helps inventors find markets

【4】What is the meaning of “outstrip” in the last paragraph?

A．be better than

B．catch up with

C．make better use of

D．cost more than

25、One day, there was a blind man called John s【1】 on the bench with a hat by his feet and a sign that read, “I am blind. Please help me.”

A creative publicist named Tom was walking by the blind and s【2】 to see that the man only had a few coins in his hat. He put a few of his o【3】 coins in the hat. W【4】 asking for permission, he took the sign, turned it around and w【5】 a new message. Then he put the sign by the feet of the blind man, and left.

Later that afternoon the publicist r【6】 to the blind man and noticed that his hat was almost f【7】 of bills and coins. The blind man recognized (辨别出) his footsteps and asked if it was he who had changed his sign. He a【8】 wanted to know what the man wrote on it.

The publicist r【9】, “I just wrote the message a little differently.” He smiled and went on his way. The new sign read, “Spring has come, but I can’t see a【10】.”
