AMy dad left me a treasure when he died. It wasn't cash, gold or bank accounts. In the eyes of the world my Dad died a poor man. He was a simple mechanic who worked hard to support his family. My Dad's treasure rather was in a thousand wonderful memories that he gave me over the course of his life.One particular treasure stands out in my mind today. I was just a boy playing in the backyard of a friend's house while my Dad spent the whole afternoon under the hood(车盖) of his old car trying to get it running again. It seemed to take hours and I wasn't sure he could bring it back to life again this time. At long last, though, he closed the hood and turned the key. There was a sweet smile of satisfaction on his face as the engine started. There was a joy in his eye when he shook his head and refused to accept anything for his work. And there was quiet happiness in his voice as we drove back home that day. This memory made a home in my heart and became a priceless pearl for my soul to cherish.Time and time again my Dad showed me that a good life, a kind life, or a giving life was created one choice at a time. Not all of his choices were the right ones, but most of them were. He did the best he could. He lived the best he could. And he helped to bring out the best in me too. As I look back into the memories my Dad left me, I realize that each one of them inspired me to live and to love: one choice at a time.How do you build a better world? How do you live a loving life? One choice at a time.21. What treasure did the writer’s father leave him?A. Cash.B. Gold.C. Bank accounts.D. One memory.22. What made the writer’s father satisfied?A.

There is much we can learn from him. Here are some of the things he said and wrote:Go and see. Jefferson believed that a free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books, and personal investigation is important as well.Judge for yourself. Jefferson refused to accept other people’s opinions without careful thought. “Neither believe nor reject anything，” he wrote to his nephew.Learn from everyone. Jefferson once visited the French nobleman, Lafayette, and said to him, “You must go into the people’s home as I have done ，look into their cooking pots and eat their bread. If you will only do this, you may find out why people are dissatisfied. ”Do what you believe is right. In a free country, there will always be conflicting ideas，and this is a source of strength. It is not unquestioning agreement but conflict that keeps freedom alive. Though Jefferson was for many years the object of strong criticism, he never answered his critics. He expressed his philosophy, “There are two sides to every question. If you take one side with decision and act on it with effect, those who take the other side will of course resent(憎恶)your actions. ”Trust the future and trust the young. Jefferson felt that the present should never be chained to customs which have lost their usefulness. “The earth belongs to the living generation. ” He didn’t fear new ideas, nor did he fear the fu ture. “How much pain has been caused by evils which have never happened?” he remarked，“I expect the best, not the worst. ”25.The author mentioned Jefferson’s visit to Lafayette to show______.A．Jefferson was dissatisfied with LafayetteB．Jefferson had a close relationship with his peopleC．Jefferson was a great American presidentD．Jefferson valued the importance of learning from others26.Jefferson was determined never to answer his critics because______.A．he believed silence was a source of strengthB．he thought it useless to defend obviously correct ideasC．he believed in conflict rather than in unquestioning agreementD．he knew the more he said ,the more people would resent him27.What would be the best title of the passage?A．Jefferson’s Great Works B．Jefferson’s Philosophy C．Jefferson’s Teaching D．Jefferson's Life StoryCIn the near future, we may be using our eyes to operate our smart-phones and tablets, even when it comes to playing popular games like Fruit Ninja.The Gaze Group has been developing eye-controlled computer technology for nearly 20 years. But those devices have been firstly designed to help those with disabilities, and are very expensive.“After a while, we figured out that probably the best way is to go for a mass-market way,” says Gaze’s Sune Alstrup Johansen. “where everybody would have this available."Johansen and some of his colleagues have formed a new company, the Eye Tribe, which is hoping to develop the technology on a mass commercial level.The technology works with the help of the computing device toward the user’s face. After making sure of the user’s eye movements, the technology is then able to easily find where a person’s eyes are moving, and then allow the eyes to control a cursor(光标).“Our software can then determine the location of the eyes and know where you’re looking onthe screen to make sure what you’re looking at, ” reads an explanation on the Eye Tribe site.There has been a gradual change toward hands-free technology in recent years, particularly inthe gaming world. Recently Xbox released the Kinect device, which lets users control their Xboxand play certain games using only their hands, legs and voices. But still, most of these deviceshave been more of a gimmick than a practical way to use one’s hands to control a mobile device.Johansen said a replaceable filter(滤光器)would be a cheap, convenient way for most consumers.And even as companies like The Eye Tribe work to create such a product for the average user,making the eye-controlled technology more accessible and less expensive will have similarbenefits for physically disabled users.For more articles on modern science，please CLICK here．28.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A.
