He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure. Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he bec ame 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “ Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.36.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.

Glenn. Jr., flew over Australia. The man in theMercury(水星) capsule（宇宙飞行容器）was alone, but friendly voices reached him by radio. On the dark land 100 miles below, he saw a sprinkling of light. They marked the city of Perth, where people had turned on their lights as a greeting to him.In Friendship7, Glenn radioed, “The lights show up very well. Thank for everybody for turning them on.” His capsule raced on to the east.During his three orbits of the earth, Glenn could always reach one of eighteen tracking stations. Some of them were on ship at sea. Others were in the United States.Many of the stations had been built with the help of other countries.These countries allowed Americans to bring in radio equipment and set it up. Without the help of such lands as Nigeria（尼日利亚）, Zanzibar（尚巴西，坦桑尼亚领土的一部分）, and Mexico, there would have been breaks in the worldwide radio network.John H. Glenn. Jr., was the first America to orbit the earth. For his flight, the tracking network（跟踪网络）covered60,000 route miles. Five hundred men worked in the stations along the route. Since his flight, the network has grown. Today, it covers more than 100,000 route miles and has about one hundred stations. One-third of these stations are outside of the United States.46.This passage is mainly about .A talking to ships at sea around the worldB breaks in the worldwide networkC the first American to orbit the earthD a satellite which fell into the ocean47.

The bag contained a book.This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure-a 120-page diary kept 190 years ago by Deborah Logan, “ a woman who knew everybody in her day,” James Green, the librarian told the magazine American libraries.Most of the diary is a record of nig events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington, D.C. in the war of 1812. She decribes President James.Madison on horseback as “perfectly shaking with fear.” during the troubled days. Geoge Washington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a Frenchman, and praised her excellent English.The adventure of the lost book began September4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor(祖先) to the Library Company., which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.Green told American libraries he had the diary in his possession “about five minutes” when Luxmoore took it back because he promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green, Luxmoore was shocked to realize that he had left it in the taxi.Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck. “ I’ve felt sick since then,” Luxmoore told the reporters.According to Green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building. Tom Brennan received a reward of $1,000 , Philadelphia gained another treasure for its history, and Luxmoore told reporters “It’s wonderful news. I’m on the high.”51.This article mainly tells about the story of .A. a lost diaryB. Deborah LoganC. Cory LuxmooreD. the Library Company52.From the text, we learn that the diary is now owned by .A.
