If only he lived in the town. He got off the bus when it stopped at his mailbox. But he wasnt in the mood to w

22、 glass as something beautiful to look at. Only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through. Stores display their goods in large glass windows. Glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to 7 see the contents. Glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telesc
23、opes, and many other extremely useful and necessary objects. Until the Second World War, most of the glass used for optical( ) instruments was imported from Europe. However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own. Therefore, new kinds of glasses
24、 were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend has it that a very hard glass was invented by a Roman who showed his discovery to t
25、he Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years. In the present century, safety glass was invented for u
26、se in modern cars and planes. Safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. When the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter( ) and injure people. Some glass of the type is strong enough to resist bullets( ). Although nowadays plastics have
27、 replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed, for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component( ) parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world. 8 As time goes by, glass _. A. is regarded as transparent( ) B. is used to
28、make things look pleasant C. is seen as more than decoration D. is widely used to replace steel in making containers 9 Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War? A. The war blocked the way of glass import. B. The glass made in Europe was out of date. C. They refused to use t
29、he European glass. D. They were able to make a new kind of glass. 10 Why does the author tell us the legend? A. To prove the Roman was the first inventor of hard glass. 8 B. To support the Americans were as clever as the Romans. C. To give some information about hard glass. D. To provide a historica
30、l event concerned with hard glass. 11 Why are new uses of glass being developed? A. Because glass is not as safe as plastics. B. Because glass is cheap and easily obtainable. C. Because glass is not as strong and durable as plastics. D. Because glass is more and more widely used. D Beating is a sign
31、 of affection cursing ( ) is a sign of love. Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been but experts say they still ring true. Today it seems Chinese parents are more likely to send their ch
32、ildren to pre college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success. Good education doesnt mean letting your children enjoy privileges especially our boys. said Song Wenming an entrepreneur ( ) in Jinhua East Chinas Zhejiang province. They shou
33、ld be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future. In August Song sent his 17 year old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone even though it takes a lot of money around $48,000 per year to send a child to a strict military school.
34、 Statistics show that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies. A few years ago there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today there are 28. All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families some of them were spoiled. said Jennife
35、r Myers director of marketing and communications at the school. Songs only son Song Siyu had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The 9 teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult. Now three months later he has perfected the art of taki
36、ng a bath in 35 seconds finishing a meal without looking at his food and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism no matter how unreasonable. The training is hard but I know it is good for self development of individuals. said Song Siyu. The endless training and scolding are just wa
37、ys to build up our character they are not personal. But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools. But for those who stick with it there is a reward for all the hard work. 12 From the second paragraph we can kno
38、w the old Chinese saying _. A is out of date in modern times B is disagreed by rich parents C is still worth trusting D is deeply believed by better educated parents 13 The underlined sentence means that _. A Song sent his only son to military school so he feels lonely B Song is the only one who sen
