阅读理解。     My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United
States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become
another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare, but out of fear: if his only
son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.
     One day in 1918, my uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my
mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how
he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant
that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.
     The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded
the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I"m sure my grandmother had a
tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly
paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before
the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, "The war is over." For a moment, nobody
moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked
down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed
home. My mother said it was great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn"t last a tiny bit longer. 1. What the grandfather was most worried about was _____.A. the spread of the world war
B. the safety of his living two cousins
C. a drop in his living standards
D. his relatives killing each other 2. The underlined phrase "draft notice" means "_____" A. order for army service
B. train ticket for Europe
C. letter of rejection
D. note of warning 3. What did the "service pins"(in Para. 2)stand for in the dyes of the little girls? A. Strength.
B. Courage.
C. Victory.
D. Honor. 4. Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story? A. Disappointing.
B. Unexpected.
C. Uncertain.
D. Inspiring.

     Eddie McKay, a once-forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in
Canada.
     It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay"s
name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni
(校友) who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist
in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives (档案馆) in a fruitless search
for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad"s glance
happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture
of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling
realization. "After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case," said
Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers
and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.
     Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes,
outlived his entire squadron (中队) as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then
returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But
there"s more to his story. "For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,"
says Broad. "He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time."
Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another
German plane.
     McKay"s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London-an explanation for
why he was all but forgotten.
     But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay"s memory was placed on
the university grounds in November 2007. "I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word "deceased"
(阵亡) next to his name," said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform.
"This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing
his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country."
1. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?
A. A uniform of McKay.
B. A footnote about McKay.
C. A book on McKay.
D. A picture of McKay.
2. What did the students find out about McKay?
A. He trained pilots for some time.
B. He lived longer than other pilots.
C. He died in the Second World War.
D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.
3. McKay"s flying documents were destroyed in _____.
A. Belgium
B. Germany
C. Canada
D. England
4. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay _____.
A. preferred fight to his study
B. went to war before graduation
C. left a picture for Corey Everrett
D. set an example for his fellow students
5. What is the text mainly about?
A. The research into war history.
B. The finding of a forgotten hero.
C. The pilots of the two world wars.
D. The importance of military studies.

     A long time ago, Milton S. Hershey, the creator of the popular chocolate bars, was dipped in warm
chocolate. I know all about it. My grandfather was there!
     At nineteen, Hershey established a candy business in Philadelphia. Although it failed, he tried again
in several other cities and succeeded with Crystal A Caramels. But Hershey was not content. He began
experimenting with chocolate and managed to sell his first chocolate bars in 1900. They were an instant
success. In 1903, Hershey built a factory.
     Hershey was usually pleasant and kind and enjoyed a good joke. However, in his chocolate factory,
he held high standards for all the workers. He was both respected and feared. His anger would burst
out when things didn"t go as he"d expected, and workers were fired for mistakes.
     My grandfather began working in the factory as a young man. His job was to push the vats (大桶)
of warm chocolate to a storage area. To do this, he had to push the heavy vats up a ramp (斜坡) and
across the walkway. One day, Hershey was walking backward on the walkway while my grandfather
was pushing a vat of chocolate up the ramp. Bump. Clunk. Ker-plop! Hershey fell backward into the vat.
Everyone else held their breath and ran up to pull him out. Grandfather froze in fear. Was he going to
lose his job?
     Hershey stood stiffly with his hands on his hips. Color rose in his face. He said something in a low
voice. Then he smiled. "It"s not your fault, son," he said. "I need to watch where I"m going." He put
some chocolate in his mouth. "Mmm, that"s good," he said. Everyone laughed. The tour continued, with
Hershey dripping chocolate as he went. And Grandfather kept his job.

wear them, and I hate them!" Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I
wasn"t an annoying little girl. She pushed and shoved. less gently this time,and the boots were returned to
their proper place on my feet. With a great sigh of relief, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked,
