Everybody knows that Edison is a famous scientist who invented the electric light bulb. But maybe
fewer people have 1 his being kind and forgiving towards others. The following is a true story about
him.
At one point in his experiments, Edison had at last 2 a working bulb—the final result of
hundreds of trials. It was the 3 electric light bulb that had ever been made, and Edison was full of
pride and delight. He had dreamed of this moment for years. “Take it upstairs, Jimmy,” he said, handing it
to his assistant, Jimmy Price. 4 there was a crash, and Edison turned around to see that his precious
bulb had fallen to the ground and broken into pieces on the floor. Jimmy had let the bulb slip (滑落)
through his fingers 5 .
Edison said nothing, but everyone can imagine what his thoughts were. He went back to his work
table and set to work once more to make another 6 .
3/11A few days later, a new bulb was finally ready. There it 7 on the table in front of its maker,
fully completed. Then Edison did a very big thing. With a smile, he handed the new bulb to Jimmy. “Be
careful this time,” he said. He was giving the young man another 8 . Jimmy did not break it, so we
have millions of bulbs in the world today.
As a proverb says, “Not the power to 9 , but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a
necessary condition for our existence.” Life is too short and no one is 10 . If we can forgive those
who have hurt us, we will have a better life.

There was once a bat. For him, going out and hunting insects was a terrible amount of effort. He was a
lover of comfort. One day, when he happened to look through a window, he saw a bird in its cage. He saw
that the bird was given all its food and water without having to do anything at all. So, the bat decided to
become a child’s pet.
The bat decided to improve his appearance to attract children’s attention. He made a beak（乌喙）,
stuck a load of feathers to his body, and learned how to whistle so that his bat calls weren’t quite as horrible
as before. And with great good fortune, he met a little boy who did not wear his glasses. He was so short-
sighted that this strange-looking black little bird’s ridiculous（可笑的）appearance didn’t really matter.
The bat was happy in his cage, in a warm and comfortable house. But that feeling lasted only up to the
time he started feeling hungry. When he wanted to eat there were no flies or insects for him, only a load of
birdseed and cereal（谷物）, which the bat didn’t like. He was determined to die of hunger rather than
sample that bird food.
Some days later, the bat-bird managed to escape from the cage and return home. He was so ashamed
and embarrassed that he decided not to tell anyone what had happened. However, he couldn’t stop the other
bats from commenting（评论）on how much effort he now made when they were out hunting flies, how
strong and tough he had become, and how he no longer seemed to worry about the discomforts of living in
freedom.
(1) Why did the bat want to become a pet bird?

Michael Morgan was six years old when his father moved a neighbor’s unwanted piano into their
living room. “And that’s really where the whole thing started,” he says. “My mother and grandmother had
played the piano a little bit, but my father just thought it was a good thing to have in the house.” Young
Michael started piano lessons, but it was when he saw a conductor（指挥）leading an orchestra on
television that he realized what he really wanted to do.
At age eight, he began reading The Joy of Music by conductor and composer（作曲家）Leonard
Bemstein and got to know how to direct with a baton（指挥棒）.
When Michael entered junior high, he joined an orchestra and band and learned to play many
instruments. He was just 12 years old when his instructor asked him to compose and conduct a concert
piece. And that was only the beginning. Throughout high school, he continued to develop his artistic talent,
and after graduating, he headed to Oberlin Conservatory of Music.
Morgan is dedicated（致力于）to offering kids a chance to explore classical music. In his hometown
of Oakland, California, he started to volunteer in local schools, conducting student orchestras and talking
with kids about music. Later, Morgan developed MUSE (Music for Excellence), a music education
program for kids.
5/11He brings musicians from Oakland Symphony into classrooms to teach kids. He also works with
teachers in after-school programs to teach students who can’t afford lessons.
Morgan says his work is mostly about providing young people with an entrance into music.

through life,” he says.

Take your dog for a meal. At more restaurants, including some of the most fashionable ones, dining
with animals is now part of the evening’s menu.
When locals in Key West go out to dinner, a popular place is an open-air restaurant. On entering the
restaurant, they’ll likely see a cat next to a sign that says “Pet the Cat, $1.”
For the owners of the restaurant, serving human guests alongside their pets is a no-brainer. Since
they opened the restaurant, they’ve had a friendly rule towards pets, the one that allows pets into the
restaurant in a given week.
Americans more and more depend on restaurants (they eat 4.2 meals out each week), it’s only natural
6/11that the family pet is finally getting into the act. Enter “pet-friendly restaurants” into an Internet search
engine and many restaurants come out.
Why do restaurants court pets? “Dogs never send their food back,” jokes one owner.
The trend（趋势）doesn’t only belong to common places. Many high-rank restaurants also have
followed the trend. And there are some cooks making a special effort to treat those with four legs. Lorie
Ann, co-owner and cook at a restaurant named Fish Wagon in Calif, specializing in German and French
food, serves a free home-made “doggie burger” and a few doggie “cookies” to non-human guests.
Even as more restaurants seek to draw pet owners, they are still the exception. Most local health rules
make it clear that pets should be prevented from restaurants and suggest that they be kept out of open-air
areas. Still, many officials don’t pay attention to the rules and allow pets to sit outside with their owners.
To make pet owners convenient within the rules, some restaurants allow pets to sit with their owners
only when the animals are “parked” just outside the designated（指定的）dining area.
(1) Why does it become part of the evening’s menu to take pets for a meal naturally in America?
A. Many restaurants aim to please non-human guests.
B. People have meals out more often than ever before.
C. Pet owners want to give their pets better things to eat.
D. More and more restaurants have friendly rules for pets.
(2) What does the underlined word “court” mean in Paragraph 5?
A. Try to please.
B. Try to stop.
C. Try to clean.
D. Try to introduce.
(3) What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Restaurants please owners in order to bring more dogs.
B. Restaurants give more special service to pets than humans.
C. Restaurants try to balance between the rules and guests’ need.
D. Health rules don’t have any influence on dining out with pets.
(4) Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Pet Meals
B. Petting Cats in Restaurants
C. Pet Owners
D. Dining out with Your Pets
