Theend of the school year was in sight and spirits were high. I was back teachingafter
an absence of 15 years, dealing with the various kinds of “forbiddenfruit” that come out of
book bags. Now was the spring of the water pistol.
Idecided to think up a method of dealing with forbidden fruit.
“Pleasebring that pistol to me,” I said. “I’m going to put it in my Grandma’s Box.”
“What’sthat?” they asked.
“It’sa large wooden chest full of toys for my grandchildren,” I replied,
“Youdon’t have grandchildren,” someone said.
“Idon’t now.” I replied. “But someday I will. When I do, my box will be full ofwonderful
things for them.”
Myimaginary Grandma’s Box worked like magic that spring, and later.
Sometimes.students would ask me to describe all the things I had in it. Then I would tryto
remember the different possessions I supposedly had taken away—since Iseldom actually
kept them. Usually the offender would appear at the endof the day, and I would return
the belonging.
The-yearswent by, and my first grandchild Gordon was born. I shared my joy with that
year’sclass. Then someone said, “Now you can use your Grandma’s Box.” From then
oninstead of coming to ask their possessions back, the students would say, “That’sokay. Put
it in your Grandma’s Box for Gordon.”
Iloved talking about the imaginary box, not only with my students but also withmy
own children. They enjoyed hearing about all the forbidden fruit I hadcollected. Then oneChristmas I received a surprise gift — a large, beautifullymade wooden chest. My son
Bruce had made my Grandma’s Box a reality.

InMay 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday party. The bridge wasclosed
to motor traffic so people could enjoy a walk across it. Organizersexpected perhaps
50,000 people to show up. Instead, as many as 800, 000 crowdedthe roads to the bridge.
By the time 250,000 were on the bridge, engineersnoticed something terrible：the roadway
was flattening under what turned outto be the heaviest load it had ever been asked to
carry. Worse, it wasbeginning to sway（晃动）. The authorities closed access to the
bridgeand tens of thousands of people made their way back to land. A disaster was
avoided.
Thestory is one of scores in To Forgive Design：Understanding Failure, abook that is at
once a love letter to engineering and a paean（赞歌）to its breakdowns. Its author, Dr.
Henry Petroski, has long beenwriting about disasters. In this book, he includes the loss of
the spaceshuttles（航天飞机）Challenger and Columbia, and the sinking of theTitanic.
Thoughhe acknowledges that engineering works can fail because the person who
thoughtthem up or engineered them simply got things wrong, in this book Dr.
Petroskiwidens his view to consider the larger context in which such failures
occur.Sometimes devices fail because a good design is constructed with low
qualitymaterials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a design works so well it isadopted
elsewhere again and again, with seemingly harmless improvements, until,suddenly, it
does not work at all anymore.
Readerswill encounter not only stories they have heard before, but some new
storiesand a moving discussion of the responsibility of the engineer to the public andthe
ways young engineers can be helped to grasp them.“Successis success but that is all that it is,” Dr. Petroski writes. It is failure thatbrings
improvement.
8. What happened to the Golden Gate Bridge on its50th birthday?
A. It carried more weight than it could.
B. It swayed violently in a strong wind
C Itsroadway was damaged by vehicles
D. Its access was blocked by many people.
9. Which of the following is Dr. Petroski’s ideaaccording to paragraph 3?
A. No design is well received everywhere
B. Construction is more important than design.
C. Not all disasters are caused by engineeringdesign
D. Improvements on engineering works are necessary.
10. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Failure can lead toprogress.
B. Success results in overconfidence
C. Failure should beavoided.
D. Success comes from joint efforts.
11. What is the text?
A. A news report B.A short story.
C. A book review D.A research article.

Rainforestsare home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals.
Canyou believe that a single bush（灌木丛）in the Amazon may have more species of antsthanthe whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just onehectare of
rainforest.
Rainforestsare the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide
andproducing a significant amount of the world’s oxygen. Rainforests have their
ownperfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy（树冠层）
of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants,and the forest animals
from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun andstrong winds.
Amazingly,the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although
closetogether, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this isthe plants’
way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life moredifficult for leaf-eating
insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest,animals must climb, jump or fly across the
gaps. The ground floor of the forestis not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but
is actually fairlyclear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other
forestlife.
Theyare not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of theirown
rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal-and in some areas theremay be as much
as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-your umbrellamay protect you in a shower,
but it won’t keep you dry if there is a fullrainstorm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to
twenty feet. The humidity（湿气）of large rainforests contributes to the formation of
raincloudsthat may travel to other countries in need of rain.
12. What can we learn about rainforests from thefirst paragraph?
A. They produce oxygen.
B.They cover a vast area.C. They are well managed.
D.They are rich in wildlife.
13. Which of the following contributes most to thesurvival of rainforests?
A. Heavy rains B.Big trees.
C. Small plants. D.Forest animals.
14. Why do the leaves and branches of differenttrees avoid touching each other?
A. For more sunlight. B.For more growing space.
C. For self-protection. D.For the detection of insects.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Life-Giving Rainforests B.The Law of the Jungle
C. Animals in the Amazon D.Weather in Rainforests
