24、One day in 1903 French scientist Edouard Benedictus climbed high to get something on a high shelf in his laboratory. He carelessly hit an empty glass flask(烧瓶)and it fell to the stone floor.
Benedictus climbed down, expecting a mess, but he found a surprise. The glass hadn’t broken into a million pieces! It had cracked(破裂), but it had held together. Benedictus wondered why.
His helper explained he had used the flask to hold liquid plastic(液态塑料). Then he had put the flask aside and forgotten to wash it. The liquid plastic dried, so the flask looked empty. Benedictus found that the dried plastic had kept the cracked glass from falling apart.
The same week, Benedictus read a report about a car accident in the newspaper. The car was a new and exciting invention, and many people were driving fast on the roads. When accidents happened, people were often hurt by flying broken glass. Suddenly Benedictus thought of the broken flask. Could his accident be something useful?
Benedictus spent a lot of time in the lab, trying to find out the best way to make safety glass for cars. Finally, Benedictus put some liquid plastic between two pieces of glass and pressed(压)them together. When he hit it, the “glass-and-plastic sandwich” cracked, but it didn’t break into small pieces.
Benedictus succeeded. He wrote in his diary, “I produced my first piece of Triplex(the name for his invention)-full of promise(充满希望)for the future.”
Benedictus was right. His method of putting plastic between pieces of glass is still used today. And that’s how a careless accident led to an invention that made us all safer!
【1】How did Benedictus feel when he saw the cracked glass flask?
A.Angry.
B.Sorry.
C.Excited.
D.Surprised.
【2】The glass flask didn’t fall part because ________.
A.the floor was not so hard
B.the shelf was not so high
C.there was dried plastic in it
D.Benedictus’ helper caught it
【3】When did Benedictus decide to work on his invention?
A.When he read a news report.
B.When he climbed high on a shelf.
C.After his helper had a car accident.
D.After his helper gave him a suggestion.
【4】What do we know about Triplex?
A.It was invented in 1900.
B.It had plastic on its cover.
C.It got popular as soon as it was invented.
D.It had an influence on today’s safety glass.
【5】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.Magic of Plastic
B.Lessons from Accidents
C.A Great Accidental Invention
D.Daily Life of a French Scientist
25、Jack had an unusual experience last night. He is sharing it with his friends. Ken and May.
Ken: What were you doing, Jack? What did you see?
Jack: It was half past nine last night and I was getting ready for bed. I heard some strange noise outside while I was brushing my teeth. I wondered what was happening and I went to the window and looked out. To my surprise, I saw a bright yellow green light in the sky.
May: Maybe the light you saw was a UFO! Or a ghost! A few years ago, an American man saw a flying saucer(飞碟) while he was driving along a road. He also saw some strange yellow light. You have heard about it, haven’t you?
Ken: Don’t be imaginative, May. Jack didn’t see anything, or anybody. It wasn’t a ghost. It was probably a plane, or a shooting star. Perhaps Jack just made a horrible dream!
Jack: I am very serious. I did see something. The light disappeared and then suddenly some “tiny people” were standing in the garden. There were four of them. Two of them ate some flowers in the garden.
Ken: Oh, come on, Jack. I really doubt what you have said.
Jack: I am not joking! One of the people was looking at me through the window.
May: Really? What did it look like? Were you frightened?
Jack: Its whole body was green. It had no ears and nose. Its hands were huge. Its eyes were very big and looked like eggs. It looked at me and I could hardly move.
Ken: What happened then?
Jack: I was able to move eventually. I ran and got my camera at once.
