18、 died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Fortunately he had a strong-willed (意志坚强的) caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just b
19、elieve.”She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success, ”she said. “All the people who work hard dont succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that b
20、elieving and hard work dont mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. Johns mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could
21、go to school, and here he learned the power of wordsas an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.While others discouraged him, Johns mother offered him more words to live by.“Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”She also let him pawn
22、(典当)her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mothers words in mind.“Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 riches

28、te unprepared for such a big earthquake. Experts had said that most modern buildings would be quite safe even from an earthquake as strong as the Great Kanto Earthquake. This was clearly not true.

29、y had fallen over on its side looking as if it had been pushed over by a giant (巨人).Thousands of people were homeless, However, some of the finest human qualities were seen in the time of crises (moment of great danger).

38、blanca S=Safi)DThirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key partdrivers.
39、DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had
40、 its brake lock up in the starting area, Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote (远距离的) consol. One went a little more than a mile a
41、nd rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The “winner,”if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.“You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,” says Reinhold Behringer
42、, who helped design two of the ear-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics, “Even ants (蚂蚁) can do all these tasks effortlessly. Its very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines.”The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guid
43、ance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately.

44、b up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.46. Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because _. A. they did not have any human guidance B. the road was not familiar to t
45、he drivers C. the distance was too long for the vehicles D. the prize money was unattractive to the drivers47. DARPA organized the race in order to _. A. raise money for producing more robotic vehicles B. push the development of vehicle industry C. train more people to drive in the desert D. improve

47、rom place to 101ace without being driven by human beings49.
