A farmer grew some vegetables in his garden. One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market.

There have been many great inventions or things that change the way we live The first great invention is the one that is still very important today—the wheel. This makes it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore much any more. They began to work in order to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all play a big part in our daily life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1946, jet planes in 1939. It was also a time when a new material was first made—Nylon (尼龙), which came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.
The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and allowed them to live longer. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.
By this time most people in developed countries had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire (渴望) to explore again. The Earth was known to man but stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia, United States, China and Japan have made their own steps into space.
In 1969, man took his biggest step away from the Earth. Americans first walked on the Moon. This is certainly just a beginning, though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.
40. In the 1800s, people began to work in order to make ________.
A. explorations B. their life better C. discoveries D. a trip to space
41. The underlined phrase “came out” means ________ in Chinese.
A. 出现 B. 当心 C. 试验 D. 算出
42. People can live longer lives because ________ that help cure diseases have worked very well.
A. doctors B. new hospitals C. medicines D. new ways
43. This passage mainly talks about ________.
A. why cars were very important
B. when the light was invented
C. how inventions affect people’s daily life
D. which country made the first step into space
(C)
Most people graduate (毕业) from school and then get a job. Everyone wants a job with lots of money. How much money can you make Ask yourself these questions: What can I do What skills (技能) do I have Also ask yourself: How much education (教育) do I have For most jobs, the higher your education is, the higher your earning power will be.
In the United States, high school graduates make about $18,600 a year. If you do not finish high school, you make only $10,800 a year. You can make $7,800 more each year by staying in high school!
A person with a high school degree makes about $18,600 a year. If that person goes to college and gets a bachelor’s degree (学士学位), he can make $42,000. With a master’s degree (硕士学位), he can make about $53,000. If the person gets a PhD (博士学位), he can make almost $79,000 or more a year.
We can learn a very important thing from this information. If you want to work and make more money, get a good education.
