13、 for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.You cant say its not a great university, just because Papa went there. Thats not i
14、t at all. And it is a top university. She was still holding the pieces in her hand. But we cant afford to send you to college.I wouldnt dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things arent that bad, are they?No, she said. I dont expect you to help sup
15、port us.Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop. His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Wheth
16、er those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns. Whats more, they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful; otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives
17、 so badly.I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to get what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship (奖学金). My father could hardly contain his pride in me,
18、and my mother eventually gave in before my success.26. The author was not allowed to go to Cornell University mainly because _.A. his father graduated from the universityB. his mother did not think it a great universityC. his parents needed him to help support the familyD. his parents did not have e

21、e, which of the following words is NOT proper to describe the author?A. Determined. B. Aggressive. C. Cooperative. D. Diligent.BIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the ni
22、cest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when
23、 forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffi
24、c conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into t
25、he path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing
26、 total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers cant even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of u

It is not always right for drivers to_.A. master roadmanshipB. recog

34、ed from Beijing Union University last year, was one of the first graduates to find work in the citys countryside. After majoring in industrial and commercial administration, Wang served as the assistant to the village head of Ertiaojie Village in suburban Beijings Pinggu District. For one project, W
35、ang contacted people at the Beijing Academy of Agricultural Sciences and arranged for the local farmers to receive training in strawberry planting. Her efforts paid off. The village had a plentiful harvest of organic strawberries earlier this year.sj.fjjy.orgNationwide, about 150,000 university grad
36、uates found employment in rural areas last year, according to figures provided by the Ministry of Education.The ministry predicts that 4. 95 million students will graduate from universities across the country this year, 820,000 more than last year.

42、f industry, farms have undergone an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The comput
43、ers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being
44、written for hog(猪) producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes i
45、n addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.Another technological advan
46、ce which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being.
