第四节 阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文, 根据文章的内容选择最佳答案作答，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
Albert Einstein (1879—1955) was one of the greatest and most original scientific thinkers of all time．
Born of Jewish parents at Ulm in Germany，he completed his education in Switzerland and got his Ph. D at the University of Zurich. He went to live in the United States in 1933 because of the rise of Nazism(纳粹主义) in Germany and Hitler's persecution (迫害) of the Jews.
In 1905, while still at Zurich, he published his Special Theory of Relativity, which was based on things everyone may have noticed. If two trains are standing alongside each other and one train starts to move, a person sitting in the train may wonder whether his own train is moving or the other is moving, and before he finds out what is happening, he can see that one train is moving relatively to the other. From this and also from other more complicated facts, Einstein came to the conclusion that all motion is relative and that there are really no such things as absolute (绝对的) motion. Some of the other conclusions he drew are that nothing can go faster than light, and that if something such as a ruler was moving faster and faster it would seem to get shorter and shorter as its speed was near the speed of light. By 1915, Einstein had made his General Theory of Relativity known. He also improved on Newton's theory of gravity. Most of his theories have been tested and found to be true though some may sound strange. For his important work he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics.
39. In 1933, Einstein went to live in the United States because ________.
A. he loved the USA more than his own country
B. he could no longer work in Germany when Hitler came into power
C. he wanted to live quietly in the USA
D. he had got some friends there with whom he could work together
40. Einstein published his Special Theory of Relativity when he was__________.
A. in the United States. B. in Ulm, Germany after he got his Ph. D
C. still at the University of Zurich at the age of thirty-six
D. still in Switzerland at the age of twenty-six
41. One of the conclusions drawn by Einstein is that ____________.
A. places go faster than trains and buses B. people couldn't run as fast as vehicles
C. light goes the fastest of all the things D. two trains can go in different directions
42. Einstein added that if something such as a ruler was moving, it would seem to get shorter and shorter_________.
A. when it was moving faster and faster B. because the ruler itself was short
C. because we can't see it clearly D. because the ruler was broken into pieces
B
Until late in the 20th century most Americans spent time with people of different generations. Now middle-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves. That's because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our 13-year-olds in schools and sport activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior citizen homes. Why?
We live far away from the old for many reasons. Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it's got hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.
Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young.
A reporter moved her family into a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit them. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. "My children have never been lonely, " the reporter said.
The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home (养老院) when a visitor showed up with a baby, she was immediately surrounded. People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep woke up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.
Grandparents are a special case. They give their grandchildren a feeling of safety and continuity. As my husband put it "My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end." Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents. "My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting.
43. Now in an American family, people can find that________.
A. children never live with their parents
B. aged people are supported by their grandchildren
C. not all working people live with their parents
D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents
44. Seeing a baby, the old people got excited because _________.
A. they had never seen a baby before B. the baby was clever and beautiful
C. the baby's mother would take care of them D. the baby brought them the image of life
45. Why are some children quieter, calmer and more trusting ?
A. Because they have relationships with their grandparents.
B. Because their worried parents ask them to act like that.
C. Because they have nothing to worry about.
D. Because their teachers ask them to act like that.
C
Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds
Waiter / Waitress
A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds. Not only can one earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小费). Most people that visit a restaurant don't just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.
Work in a library
If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides, the pay is good. It offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework. So on returning home, they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax. So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens, especially for school students.
Internet jobs
There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements, visiting sites and signing up with them. However, such online jobs don't pay well. A better Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys(问卷). These are quite simple surveys that usually ask one about his/ her opinions and ideas. Many companies use these ideas to make products designed for teenagers.

46. What does the writer think of the job as a waiter/waitress?
A. It needs a period of training. B. It pays much more than other jobs.
C. Making diners comfortable is part of the job.. D. It can improve one's leadership skills
47. A student who is busy with his research paper will probably choose to work ______.
A. in a restaurant B. in a library C. on the Internet D. in an IT company
48. Why do some companies ask the teens to do surveys?
A. The teens have more free time.
B. They can pay less to the teens.
C. The teens usually express their true opinions.
D. They need advice to make products for teens.
D
Read the following passage and choose the correct heading for each paragraph.(选择段落题目)
A. Think about fun.
B. End family problems.
C. Pay more for healthy food.
D. Spend the money on someone else.
E. Strengthen (加强) the ties（联系）with family and friends.
The relation between happiness and money is one of the most interesting questions. Studies show, unsurprisingly, that money's impact (影响) on happiness is the greatest when you have the least amount of money.
But if you're one of the lucky people who have enough money to cover the basics, such as food, a house, and even a car. Does that mean that money can't make a difference to your happiness? Some experts say "Yes", but I don't agree.
Imagine that you have just got some money. How should you spend it?
If you want to buy a new TV set, you can buy one and get happiness out of the TV for a short while. However, you'll soon get used to it. There are other ways to spend money that are likely to give you lasting happiness.
Studies show that having close relationships is one of the most important parts of a happy life. Pay for a plane ticket to visit your brother's new baby, go to your college get-together, or take part in a neighbors' party.
If you have trouble with an overgrown lawn (草坪), or the house needs painting, see if you can throw some money at the problem. Can you find a boy in the neighborhood and pay him some money to clean your house?
Ask yourself what's fun for you? Fishing, bird-watching, traveling or cooking in the kitchen? Make sure that you spend money on something you enjoy.
Eating healthful
