24、   My name is Sam. I joined a club called "Passing Help" last month.

Now let me tell you why I joined it.

One evening this May, on my way home my old car broke down(出故障). It was 25 miles away from my home. I wanted to get a ride, but there was no car. It was also hard to take a taxi. I decided to take a bus home. I went to a bus stop nearby.

After a while, a bus came, but it did not go to my town. The bus driver was a young woman. She was kind and she told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about thirty minutes, but no bus came. At last a car came to me and a woman came out of the car. She was just the bus driver.

"When I reached the bus station, I heard that the bus to your town couldn't come, so I returned here. I just can't leave you here," she said. "Get in my car and I will take you back to your home."

"It is a long way," I said.

"Come on, sir," she said. "Let's go."

On the way she told me a story. A few days ago, there wasn't gas(汽油) in her car. An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her car.

When we got to my home, I wanted to give her some money to thank her, but she didn't accept it. "I only want to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along," she said.

25、If you are able to hear many types of birds, you might also have a greater feeling of well-being.Two studies show that hearing birdsong (鸟鸣声) may help increase our happiness.

California study

One study was done by researchers at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly, for short). A research team studied the effects of birdsong on people walking through a park in the U.S. state of Colorado. Danielle Ferraro, led the Cal Poly study.

Ferraro said in some areas birdsong can also tell the arrival of spring and nice weather. Bird diversity (多样化), she adds, can also mean a healthy environment.

Over several weeks, the researchers played recorded birdsong at certain times of the day and other times they did not. Then they talked with hikers (徒步旅行者) after they passed by.

Hikers who heard the recorded diverse birdsongs reported a greater sense of happiness than those who heard simply the natural birds. The researchers suggest that both the bird sounds and bird diversity can increase feelings of happiness.

Ferraro explained that they did the study during the summer. She explains why this is important. “The study took place in summer because the spring is most birds’ breeding (繁殖) season. We didn’t want to disturb (打扰) the birds too much.”

German study

The Science Daily recently reported that scientists in Germany examined for the first time whether a diverse nature also increases human well-being across Europe.

The researchers looked at the “2012 European quality of Life Survey” to study the connection between the different kinds of birds in their surroundings and life satisfaction. They looked at more than 26,000 adults from 26 European countries.

“Europeans are particularly satisfied with their lives if their surroundings have a high species (物种) diversity,” explains the study’s lead author and researcher, Joel Methorst. He and his team found that the happiest Europeans are those who can experience many different kinds of birds in their daily life.

In all, enjoying the birdsong is a good thing for people, so let’s protect birds from now on.

【1】What does the word “well-being” mean?

A．Warmth.

B．Happiness.

C．Kindness.

D．Satisfaction.

【2】Who did Danielle Ferraro’s team study on?

A．The old people who are happy.

B．The people who live near a park.

C．The people who are walking through a park.

D．26,000 adults from different countries.

【3】Why didn’t Danielle Ferraro’s team do their research in spring?

A．Because they prefer summer.

B．Because they don’t want to disturb the bird breading.

C．Because there are more birds in summer.

D．Because the birds don’t like singing in spring.

【4】What did Joel Methorst’s team find?

A．The more birdsongs people hear, the better the environment will be.

B．The Europeans like to have birds in their homes to make themselves feel happy.

C．The Europeans are the happiest ones in the world according to Joel Methorst’s team’s finding.

D．The happiest Europeans are usually the ones who can experience many different kinds of birds.

26、Many people believe Henry Ford invented the car. But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first car. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line(生产线) that moved a car's parts(零部件) to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.

In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of getting public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.

The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.

The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well­known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: “I will build a motor car for most of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men. It will be so low in price that everybody can afford”

The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.

【1】What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1 ?

A. He knew how to improve car’s parts.

B. He produced the first car in the world.

C. He improved others’ good ideas.

D. He invented the first production line.

【2】Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?

A. To show off(炫耀) his driving skills.

B. To draw public attention.

C. To learn about new technology.

D. To raise money for his new company.

【3】What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?

A. Producing cars for common people.

B. Building very fast racing cars .

C. Designing(设计) more car models.

D. Starting more companies.

【4】Why did Henry Ford become famous all over the United States ?

A. Because he started a new company.

B. Because he built the first car.

C. Because his car won the race.

D. Because he drove his car so well.

【5】What can we infer about the car before Model T from the passage ?

A. The car was not invented until Model T.

B. The car was big enough for a whole family.

C. The car was very expensive.

D. Americans didn’t want cars.
