十、阅读理解
A
The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy，but it's true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing，so read on to discover the truth.
★Wrong idea No 1：An invention has to be something completely new.
Inventing means creating something “new”，but the idea could come from something that already exists(存在). The Wright Brothers，for example，got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.
★Wrong idea No.2：Inventors are born，not made.
There are a lot of factors(因素) that make invention possible. Take Mozart for an example. He was born with a talent for musical composition. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher，and Mozart practised for hours every day，from the time he was four years old. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”！
Very successful creators don't give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said，“A failure was the right answer to the wrong question.”
★Wrong idea No.3：Inventors are always old people.
Don't believe that you can't invent something when you are young. Here are two examples of young inventors：Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was fifteen，he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.
As a young man，George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show. He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This gave him an idea，and he invented the trampoline.
1. In the writer's opinion，there are ________ wrong ideas about inventing in the passage.
A. 5 B.3 C. 4 D. 2
2. ________ got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.
A. Mozart B. George Nissen C. Louis Braille D. The Wright Brothers
3. The underlined word “talent” means “________” in Chinese.
A. 态度 B. 品质 C. 天赋 D. 能量
4. Which of the following is the writer's opinion
A. Anybody can do inventing. B. Inventors are born, not made.
C. Inventors are always old people. D. An invention has to be something completely new.
5. The best title for the passage would be “________”.
A. How to Perform in a Show B. Be a Composer
C. How to Help Blind People D. Be an Inventor
B
We all need cash (现金) in order to live our life. However, something called digital currency is slowly taking the place of cash. A currency is a kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a country’s money. If something is digital, it only exists (存在) on a computer. So “digital currency” means money that only exists on computers.
Lots of people have digital currency accounts (账户). They use a credit card (信用卡) to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes into the digital currency account. A lot of people wonder, “Why in the world should I change my real money into digital currency ” This is a fair question, but there’s a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example. If you’re in China and you want to buy something in Canada, then you’ll have to pay with the digital currency.
Many people still don’t trust digital currency. Some people think that if they can’t hold their money in their hand, then it doesn’t seem real. These people don’t feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computer tells them that their money is safe but these people don’t really feel safe. Another problem is security (安全). There are hackers all over the world. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.
You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing: If you want to buy something online, then you probably won’t have a choice. You’ll have to use digital currency.
1. What does Para. 1 mainly tell us
A. Why we all need cash to live. B. How to use digital currency.
C. What digital currency is. D. Where to find digital currency.
2. What is the “good answer” to the question in Para. 2
A. You cannot shop online without digital currency.
B. You cannot buy anything in China with real money.
C. You cannot buy anything in Canada without digital currency.
D. You can use both real money and digital currency to shop online.
3. What is the first problem mentioned in Para.3
A. Digital currency is not safe enough.
B. Many people still don’t trust digital currency.
C. Some people can’t hold their money in their hand.
D. Some people don’t feel comfortable with numbers.
4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Two kinds of money B. The end of real money
C. Currency around the world D. Money that you can’t touch

The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy，but it's true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing，so read on to discover the truth.
★Wrong idea No 1：An invention has to be something completely new.
Inventing means creating something “new”，but the idea could come from something that already exists(存在). The Wright Brothers，for example，got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.
★Wrong idea No.2：Inventors are born，not made.
There are a lot of factors(因素) that make invention possible. Take Mozart for an example. He was born with a talent for musical composition. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher，and Mozart practised for hours every day，from the time he was four years old. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”！
Very successful creators don't give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said，“A failure was the right answer to the wrong question.”
★Wrong idea No.3：Inventors are always old people.
Don't believe that you can't invent something when you are young. Here are two examples of young inventors：Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was fifteen，he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.
As a young man，George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show. He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This gave him an idea，and he invented the trampoline.

We all need cash (现金) in order to live our life. However, something called digital currency is slowly taking the place of cash. A currency is a kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a country’s money. If something is digital, it only exists (存在) on a computer. So “digital currency” means money that only exists on computers.
Lots of people have digital currency accounts (账户). They use a credit card (信用卡) to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes into the digital currency account. A lot of people wonder, “Why in the world should I change my real money into digital currency ” This is a fair question, but there’s a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example. If you’re in China and you want to buy something in Canada, then you’ll have to pay with the digital currency.
Many people still don’t trust digital currency. Some people think that if they can’t hold their money in their hand, then it doesn’t seem real. These people don’t feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computer tells them that their money is safe but these people don’t really feel safe. Another problem is security (安全). There are hackers all over the world. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.
You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing: If you want to buy something online, then you probably won’t have a choice. You’ll have to use digital currency.

A. Why we all need cash to live. B. How to use digital currency.
C. What digital currency is. D. Where to find digital currency.

A. Digital currency is not safe enough.
B. Many people still don’t trust digital currency.
