AHappiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something goodto others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.21．When you do something wrong, _______________.A. you may correct itB. you will have no chance to challenge yourselfC. anybody will laugh at youD. you will be happy22．Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. When you get success, your friends will be very proud of you.B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.D. All the above.23．Why do we say “Happiness is not the same as money”? Because _______________.A. money always brings happinessB. money doesn’t always bring happinessC. everything can be bought with moneyD. only rich people have happiness24．Which is the title of the passage?A. Do Something Good to OthersB. Happy and LuckyC. HappinessD. Life and SuccessB“Stop making excuses for him，Mom，”I said.“But maybe he is feeling unwell...” Mom said.“Maybe nothing，” I interrupted. I had been tending Mom since her health began to decline and this would be the first time in a year that my husband and I had a night out together. Jerry had promised to stay with Mom. But again he let us down. And more often than not，his drinking had a lot to do with it. His irresponsibility upset me.I remembered our happy growingup years in a small town in West Virginia. With good family education，Jerry had been a kind kid. He was only 15 when Daddied. Unlike him，I got over the sorrow soon，but he started drinking. Soon he began hanging out with bad guys.Jerry and I didn’t see each other often，but we talked on the phone. Usually，though，we ended up fighting. When Mom came to live with us，Jerry dropped in regularly at first，but after a while his visits became sporadic. He explained he couldn’t handle seeing Mom in such a bad condition. Another excuse，I thought.One day I went to see the doctor about my back.It had been aching for months.“I can’t find anything wrong with you physically，”the doctor said.“But I can tell you’re very tense. Is something bothering you？” I poured out my story about Jerry.“Do you think he’s likely to change？” he asked. I shrugged.“Probably not.”“But，you can，”he said gently.Me？Why did I have to change？He was the one who constantly let us down.But what had I done？Maybe the doctor was right. I couldn’t love his behavior，but I could love him—the way I did when we were little. As I walked into the house I sensed a relief.Jerry died young due to drinking .I miss him. But I’m grateful I was given the opportunity to show him I loved him—as he was，not as I wanted him to be.25. Jerry got into the habit of drinking mainly because________.A.he was influenced by bad guysB.his mom left to live with his sisterC.nobody cared for him after his father diedD.he couldn’t get over the sadness of losing his father26. The underlined word “sporadic” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．A.occasionalB.frequentC.formalD.unpleasant27. What did the author think of the doctor’s suggestion at first?A.It was acceptable.B.It gave her much hope.C.It was unreasonable.D.It made her confused.28. What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Love can help a person give up bad habits.B.Too much tension will destroy a person’s health.C.We shouldn’t expect too much of a person.D.We should try to love a person as he is.CDigital technology-email and smart phones especially-have vastly improved workers’ ability to be productive outside of a traditional office. Even so, most white-collar work still happens in an office. One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses arc doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesn’t accept it, and only 35 percent say it’s tolerated.Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced (加深) by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of workers say they’ve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely, while 35 percent have done housework, and 28 percent have cooked dinner.It is true, however, that working at home makes people much more efficient (高效的), because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done. It’s much faster, for example, to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven’t come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value. Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who haven’t worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances, smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility (灵活性) to manage their time efficiently.29. Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?A. They have little trust in modem technology.B. They want to stick to their routine practice.C. They fear losing control of their workers.D. They are used to face-to-face communication.30. What seems to be most workers’ attitude toward remote working?A. Favorable.B. Doubtful.C. Reserved.D. Disapproving.31. What does the author suggest smart firms do?A. Shorten their office hours.B. Give employees a pay raise.C. Reduce their staffs workload.D. Adopt flexible work patterns.DLondoners are great readers. They buy large numbers of newspapers, magazines and books — especially paperbacks (平装书), which are still cheap in spite of everincreasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in bookselling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which is said to be “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time. Some of these shops stock, or will make efforts to get, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in secondhand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on economics, politics or any other subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet.Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For really cheap secondhand books, collectors must venture_off_the_beaten_track to Farringdon Road, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and put lots of books onto small handcarts (手推车) which line the streets. The collectors, some professionals and some amateurs (业余爱好者), who have been waiting for them, run quickly towards the books. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds.32．“Londoners are great readers” means that ________.A．Londoners are great because they read a lotB．there are a great number of readers in LondonC．Londoners are readers who read only great booksD．Londoners read a lot33．According to this passage, Charing Cross Road ________.A．is in the suburbs of London B．is famous for its bookshops C．contains various kinds of shops D．is the busiest street in London 34．In this passage, what does the underlined part “venture off the beaten track” mean?A．Buy books in a most busy street. B．Move away from a busy street. C．Waste time looking for books. D．Take a risk of losing one's life. 35．The best topic for this passage is “________”．A．Bookshops in London B．The biggest bookshop in the world C．Charing Cross Road D．Buying books in London第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇My two daughters and I got into the car to spend our weekend in Florida. Autumn, the elder one, offered to drive. I sat next to her, and Amber sat in back. After setting off, the three of us sang to the radio at the top of our voice.I t was a great trip until the rain poured and the rain was too heavy. “I have to pull over, ” Autumn said. She tried to enter the far right lane (车道) to find a place to stop, but trucks ran fast, making water onto our car. The car was out of control, then worse — it started to move left and right. Autumn fought to control it but it was too late. We ran into a truck. The girls jumped out of the car. My chest felt much pain.“Get out, Mom. Come on！” Amber cried. “I can't,” I said. Autumn took out her cellphone, “There's been an accident. Send an ambulance (救护车)！” Amber and Autumn pulled me out of the car and helped me lie on my back in the grassy area by the roadside. I had to calm myself and looked up. A man held a large umbrella over me and other kind faces appeared above me. A woman helped to treat a cut over Amber's eye. Another woman came close to me and said, “No one in the truck was injured. Help was on the way.” The woman mentioned she was a nurse; the other woman who took care of Amber's cut was an eye specialist. We couldn't have asked for better care.In the hospital the pain in my chest began to disappear. Later, the tests at the hospital made sure we had no serious injuries. We'd left all our troubles behind thanks to these kind people, who seemed to be angels (天使) in my eyes.1．How did the author and her two daughters feel after setting out?A．They were worried about the weather.B．They enjoyed themselves greatly.C．They thought it was a long journey.D．They felt lucky to take the journey.2．What was Autumn going to do when the rain poured?A．To stop by the roadside.B．To follow the truck closely.C．To get into the fast traffic lane.D．To move the car left and right.3．What can be the best title for the text?A．Unexpected heavy rainB．Leave our troubles behindC．Kind angels saved the dayD．My two kind daughters【答案】1．B2．A3．C【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。

pointed to a string（绳子）between a big strong tree and a thin young one．“Please untie（解开）that string，” he said．The young man untied it，and the young tree bent（弯）over to one side．“Now tie it again，please，” said the old man，“but first pull the string tight so that the young tree is straight again．”The young man did so．Then the old man said，“There，it is the same with children．You must be strict with them，but sometimes you must untie the string to know how they are getting on．If they are not yet able to stand alone，you must tie the string tight again．But when you find that they

but imaginative（富于想象力）electrical engineer named Christopher Cockerell began an experiment that was soon to change the world．He came up with an idea to make boats go faster，by using a vacuum cleaner（真空吸尘器）．Using his wife's vacuum cleaner he was able to reverse（使倒转）the motor so that it blew instead of sucking．The air that blew out beneath（下面）acted as a cushion against surfaces．Years later，his principle of cushioned air made it possible for the first hovercraft（气垫船）to be successfully built and tried out．A journey along the Amazon River proved to the world that the hovercraft was both wonderful and useful．The invention that began in the kitchen and the boatyard of an ordinary home led to a thousand other inventions．Today hovercrafts carry passengers in comfort over rough

his subjects．He hoped to become a good teacher．This year he left the college and began to work in a middle school．He likes his students and is strict（严格的）with them．He does his best to make his classes lively and interesting．One day he carefully explained a chemical reaction（反应）to the students of Grade 2 in the chemistry lab．“Be careful，everyone，” he said loudly．“Before I make the experiment，there're twenty five atoms of carbon（碳原子），but after I finish it，there're twenty four atoms of carbon left！”He stopped to watch the classroom and hoped his students would go on explaining it．But the young men looked at each other and nobody answered him．He had to ask，“What happens？What makes the atom lost？”The classroom was very quiet and none of the students looked at their teacher．“Who can tell us where it has gone？”Suddenly a soft voice came from the back row，“We did not see anybody leave the lab！”16．Charlie began to work in the middle school because ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．he had been in the school for four yearsB．he couldn't do anything except teachingC．he hoped to become a good teacherD．he did well in all his subjects17．Charlie hopes ＿＿＿，so he does his best to make his classes lively and interesting．A．all his students could understand himB．his students wouldn't be afraid of himC．his students carefully watched him making the experimentD．his students could do well in

spoken．Secondly，we must be able to speak it ourselves，with confidence （自信）and without hesitation（犹豫）．Thirdly，we must do much reading．Finally，we must be able to write it．We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar．There are no shortcuts to success in language learning．A good memory is a great help，but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book．It is not much learning by heart long lists（一览表）of words and their meanings，studying the dictionary and so on．We must learn by using the language．If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized，we are not really learning the language．We must “learn through use．” Practice is important．We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can．21．The most important things to learn a foreign language are ＿＿＿＿＿.A．understanding and speakingB．listening，speaking，reading and writingC．writing and understandingD．memorizing and listening22．Someone hears and writes English very well，but he speaks it very badly．This is because ＿＿＿＿＿．A．he doesn't understand the language when he hears it spokenB．he doesn't have a good memoryC．he always remembers lists of words and their meaningsD．he often hesitates（犹豫）to practise speaking it23．One can never learn a foreign language well by ＿＿＿＿＿．A．doing much practice B．studying the dictionaryC．learning through use D．using the language 24．Which is the most important in learning a foreign language？A．A good memory．B．Speaking．C．Practice．D．Writing．25．“Learn through use” means ＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．we use a language in order to learn itB．we learn a foreign language in order to use itC．we can learn a language well while we are keeping using it D．B and C．2高一英语阅读训练（2）AWhat is language for？Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists，the better．That's wrong．Language is for the exchange（交流）of ideas and information．It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely．Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules，but they can't speak correctly or fluently（流利地）．They are afraid of making mistakes．One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language．Native speakers make mistakes and break rules，too．Bernard Saw once wrote，“Foreigners often speak English too correctly．” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make．They're English mistakes in the English language．And if enough native speakers break a rule，it is no longer a rule．What used to be wrong becomes right．People not only make history，they make language．But a people can only make its own language．It can't make another people's language．So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar，but they shouldn't overdo（做过头）it．They should put communication（交际）first．1．Language is used to ＿＿＿＿＿．A．express oneself B．practise grammar rulesC．talk with foreigners only D．learn lists of words2．Generally，when an American or an Englishman speaks English，he ＿＿＿＿＿．A．never makes mistakes B．often makes mistakesC．can't avoid making mistakes D．always makes mistakes 3．“Foreigners often spea k English too correctly．” This sentence means that ＿＿．A．foreigners speak correct EnglishB．foreigners speak incorrect EnglishC．foreigners speak English according to the grammar rulesD．foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English4．If too many native speakers break a rule，＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．what they use will become right B．they are against the lawC．they should say sorry to others D．they will become heroes 5．When we speak a foreign language，we should ＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．speak in Chinese way B．speak by the rulesC．speak to native speakers D．not be afraid of making mistakesBMr and Mrs Gordon were sitting on the sand，reading their magazines．Mr Gordon was too stingy（吝啬）to rent（租）a chair．Their twelve－year－old daughter，Sandra，was playing at the water's edge．Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out tosea．Fortunately（幸运的是），a lifeguard（救生员）was on duty and he saw the wave carry Sandra away．He ran along the beach and dived into the sea．He swam quickly to where the girl，with her head only just above the water，was shouting for help．She was very frightened．When the lifeguard reached her she struggled（挣扎）with him，as drowning（即将淹死的）people often do．However，he was a skilful lifeguard and quickly took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach．By the time he reached it，Mr and Mrs Gordon had realized what had happened．They had run down to the water's edge．Neither of them could swim．They just stood in the shallow water，and worried about their daughter．Had the lifeguard reached her in time？Fortunately，he had．“That was quick work，young man，”Mr Gor don said．He turned to his wife，“Give the lifeguard a dollar．” “A dollar！” Sandra cried．“Dad，how can you give him a dollar！He saved my life．I was half dead．” “Quite right，girl ” Mr Gordon said，pleased by his daughter's awareness（知道）of the value of money．He turned to his wife again and said，“She's right．She was only half dead．Give him fifty cents．”6．What happened to Sandra？A．She ran into the sea．B．Her life was saved by a lifeguard．C．She was drowned．D．She died．7．What would probably have happened to Sandra if the lifeguard had not been on the beach？A．Her father would have saved her．B．Her mother would have saved her．C．She would have swum back to the beach．D．She would have been drowned．8．What did Mr and Mrs Gordon do when Sandra was carried out to sea by the wave？A．They shouted to the lifeguard．B．They dived into the water．C．Perhaps they were reading magazines．D．They offered the lifeguard money to save Sandra．9．Why was Sandra angry with her father？A．He did not give the lifeguard any money．B．He did not swim out to save her．C．He did not show the lifeguard hearty thankfulness．D．He gave the lifeguard too much money．10．Why was Mr Gordon pleased with her daughter？A．She was safe again．B．She was polite to the lifeguard．C．He thought she did not want him to give the life-guard too much money．D．She gave the lifeguard fifty cents．CAs one comes to some crossroads，he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead．At other crossroads，drivers have to go slow，but they do not actually have to stop （unless，of course，there is something coming along the main road）；and at still others，they do not have either to stop or to go slow，because they are themselves on the main road．Mr Williams，who was always a very careful driver，was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad．It had a “Slow” sign．He slowed down when he came to the main road，looked both ways to see that nothing was coming，and then drove across without stopping completely．At once he heard a police whistle，so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped．A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said，“You didn't stop at that crossing．”“But the sign there doesn't say 'stop'”，answered Mr Williams．“It just says 'Slow'，and I did go slow．”The policeman looked around him，and a look of surprise came over hisface．Then he put his notebook and pen away，scratched his head and said，“Well，I'm in the wrong street！”11．Mr Williams was driving ＿＿＿＿one evening．A．to a party B．to his officeC．home after work D．to work from home12．When he was stopped by a policeman，he ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．was driving at a high speed B．was driving on the main road C．was going to stop his car D．was driving slowly 13．Though slowly，Mr Williams continued driving at the crossing because ＿＿＿．A．he didn't see any“stop”sign thereB．he paid no attention to the traffic regulationsC．he didn't have to stopD．he was eager to get home14．The policeman was ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿at Williams' words．A．angry B．surprised C．upset D．puzzled 15．Looking round Mr Williams，the policeman was surprised because ＿＿＿＿．A．he met a mad manB．he realized that he himself was mistakenC．Mr Williams dared to speak to him like thatD．Mr Williams would not apologize to himDIn Canada you can find dogs，cats，horses，etc．in almost every family．These are their pets．People love these pets and have them as their good friends．Before they keep them in their houses，they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections（注射）so that they won't carry disease．They have special animal food stores，though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store．Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food．When you visit people's houses，they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them．You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden．All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal．They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada．They have a law against killing wild animals．If you killed an animal，you would be punished．If an animal happened to get run over by a car，people would be very sad about it．People in Canada have many reasons to like animals．One of them might be：Their family ties are not as close as ours．When children grow up，they leave their parents and start their own life．Then the old will feel lonely．But pets can solve this problem．They can be good friends and never leave themalone．16．The passage mainly talks about ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．how to keep disease from pets B．pets in CanadaC．how to take good care of pets D．life of the old in Canada 17．They give their pets injections before keeping them at their houses because ＿＿＿．A．the pets are sick B．the pets are

every family has a birdcage in his house．D．Any bird can come to the bird feeders to eat．E Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again．They want to bring water to the deserts，so people can live and grow food．They are learning a lot about the deserts．But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time．Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time．Why is more and more land becoming desert？Scientists think that people make deserts．People are doing bad things to the earth．Some places on the earth don't get much rain．But they still don't become deserts．This is because some green plants are growing there．Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places．Plants don't let the sun make the earth even drier．Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away．When a bit of rain falls，the plants hold the water．Without plants，the land can become desert more easily．21．Deserts ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．never have any plants or animals in themB．can all be turned into good land before longC．are becoming smaller and smallerD．get very little rain22．Small green plants are very important to dry places because ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．they don't let the sun make the earth

much rain will become desertsD．it is better to grow crops on dry land than to cut them3AWhy do people in all countries ride in buses to school，to work and to far places？Buses can go where trains and airplanes cannot．They do not cost as much to travel on．Even though they may not move as fast as airplanes and trains，they sometimes take people between two places faster．This is because they may travel a more direct way，or may leave more often，or at better times．Buses come in different sizes．A small bus can carry only eight or ten people．A large one might have seats for fifty to seventy people and have standing room for more．Thousands of yellow school buses carry millions of children to school every year．Most of these buses have seats placed quite close together to fit in as many children as possible．Some schools buy their own buses．Others pay to use buses that belong to bus companies．City and town buses carry people for short distances．The seats of these are close together，and there is standing room as well．Most city buses have two doors so that people can get on and off quickly．Long distance buses go from state to state or country to country．Theygive people the chance to travel across huge stretches of land．These buses have comfortable seats that can be moved to different positions．They have places to store suitcases．Many have washrooms．All these things are important on a long trip．1．Compared with trains and planes，buses don't have the advantage of ＿＿＿＿．A．cheap fare B．frequent travel C．safety D．directness 2．A large bus might carry ＿＿＿＿people．A．at

landC．small but beautiful landD．huge districts of land5．There are different kinds of buses mentioned in this passage except ＿＿＿＿．A．short-distance buses B．direct busesC．school buses D．long-distance busesBEvery day millions of letters go from one country to another．Letters mailed in Italy are received in Japan．Letters mailed in Canada are received in Africa．On the letters are many different kinds of stamps，bought in different countries．The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible．It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters，postcards，and

【英语】高一英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Money is the root of all evil (邪恶) and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNA《美国国家科学院院刊》).They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive ears ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving mow modest cars.In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher — class families were more likely to act dishonestly.According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings. Finally, it just makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self- interest,” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts（本能）and values in different ways.（1）By saying “money is the root of all evil”, the author wants to .A. link wealth with bad behaviorB. draw readers' attention to the researchC. show how the saying proves the findingsD. defend rich people who do immoral things （2）According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral?A. They welcome risks.B. They have more desires.C. They believe money talks.D. They become more selfish.（3）Why did the scientists do the experiments?A. To show how social status affects people's morality.B. To show people's instincts and values in different ways.C. To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.D. To show the difference between higher - class people and lower - class people.（4）What does the passage really want to show us?A. The poor are respectable.B. Money is the root of all evil.C. All rich people are untrustworthy.D. The rich are more likely to act badly.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者主要通过展示几个实验的结果，旨在证明"金钱是一切罪恶的根源"这一说法可能是有一定道理的。

cleaner（真空吸尘器）．Using his wife's vacuum cleaner he was able to reverse（使倒转）the motor so that it blew instead of sucking．The air that blew out beneath（下面）acted as a cushion against surfaces．Years later，his principle of cushioned air made it possible for the first hovercraft（气垫船）to be successfully built and tried out． A journey along the Amazon River proved to the world that the hovercraft was both wonderful and useful．The invention that began in the kitchen and the boatyard of an ordinary home led to a thousand other inventions．Today hovercrafts carry passengers in comfort over rough
