But soon he becam
15、e interested in the civil rights movement.

Then he hopes to run for political office at the local and state level until he is ready to try for Congress.Reg grew up in a low-income Negro section of Birmingham, Alabama.

17、ts after his parents were divorced while he was very young, Reg has been living through a period of far-reaching progress in race relations. In the summer of 1968 Reg himself became a good example of this progress when he became the first Negro student appointed to a special new program. The program

I seem to have been in the right place at the right time.But luck is only part of Regs story, for he has made the m
19、ost of opportunities that came his way. He learned to read in kindergarten and began visiting the public library regularly to borrow books. His grandparents encouraged him, though neither of them had much education, and they bought him a set of encyclopedias. I loved those books, he re- members. I u
20、sed to come downstairs before breakfast and read short articles. I enjoyed reading about famous men, and then I would pretend to be one of them. I guess it was partly a childish game and partly an escape. It wasnt too much fun to be a Negro when I was a kid.While studying for his bachelors degree at
21、 Morehouse College, Reg worked on several political campaigns helping candidates get elected to government offices. At the same time he maintained a B average while majoring in political science. He worked as a student advisor to earn extra money for his college expenses, and he was granted a schola
22、rship for a year of study at the University of Valencia in Spain.With just two more years to complete at Harvard Law School, which also gave him a scholarship, Reg has made a good start on his professional career.

27、arted me on more than one occasion. In particular, there was a weekend last summer when an ant scientist was a guest at our cottage. I boasted to my naturalist friend that I could store food in an open container for a whole week and keep it safely out of the reach of house ants.Sunday night the expe
28、riment got under way. I put a large wooden tub on the kitchen floor of our cottage. After filling it to about the three-quarters mark with water, I placed a high wooden stand in the middle of it. On top of the stool, I put a saucer containing the bait: three or four pieces of rich chocolate candy.Th
29、en I painted a wide band of very slow-drying glue around the outside of the wooden tub. With that, I stood back and admired my ant trap, fully confident that the bait would be untouched upon my return to the cottage the following weekend.When my naturalist friend and I entered the cottage just six d
30、ays later, ants were swarming over the bait!Heres how they put me to shame. Single files of ants had marched head-on into the band of glue around the outside of the wooden tub. A handful of them had endured martyrdom, for they had embedded themselves end to end, and made causeways of their bodies. T
31、he tempting bait on top of the stool must have caused the little creatures to use their brains to the limit. Ants hate water, but they had been courageous enough to build a highway across the stretch of water to a leg of the stool. They had assembled tiny pieces of grass and bits of wood no longer t
32、han a thirty-second of an inch, and had glued them together with saliva until their bridge extended from shore to island. Once they reached the leg of the wooden stool, traffic was almost all one way toward the chocolate bait.But there were some show-off fellows around, too; they were doing things w
33、hich ants have been known to do very rarely. We noticed that a half dozen or so were walking across the ceiling, and when they came directly over the bait they let themselves fall squarely into the middle of their merry brothers.It is little wonder that I have been on the trail of ants ever since, t
34、rying to trip them up or at least learn some of the special tactics that they use.1).The writer wanted to convince his friend that_.A、he knew more about ants than the scientistB、he could keep ants away from foodC、ants are more intelligent than human beingsD、he could make experiments with ants2).The

37、d wood3.How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and tha
38、t later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our min
39、ds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of word that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great
40、thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their posi
41、tion and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.1).The origin of language _.A、is reflected in sounds and lettersB、is handed down from generation to generationC、dates back to the

43、yB、accuracyC、associationsD、charm4).According to the passage, words are _.A、visual lettersB、represented by soundsC、represented either by sounds or lettersD、signs called letters5).The author of the passage advises us _.A、to use words carefully and accuratelyB、not to use silly and vulgar wordsC、to become a master of wordsD、to use emotional words4.Once a week my aunt would announce, I am going to have my bath today.Now most people find it fairly simple to have a bath.
