    Did you ever wonder how some of your favorite foods, products or toys came about? Believe it or not, they may have been an accident, or a failure of some other intention. Below, we found three mistakes we’re thankful for turned out to be what they are.

    1. Most historians hold that the Chinese invented fireworks in the 9th century when they discovered how to make gunpowder. Story has it that a Chinese cook accidentally mixed together what were then considered common kitchen items and noticed they burnt. When put tightly in a bamboo tube and lit, it blew up.

    2. In May of 1886, a law led John Pemberton, a pharmacist(药剂师), to rewrite the formula(配方) for “Pemberton’s French Wine Coca”, his popular headache treatment. Containing sugar instead of wine as a sweetener, the outcome became something for Coke, which was later mixed with carbonated(碳酸) water. His bookkeeper suggested the name Coca-Cola because he thought the two C’s would look good together, which is how what we call Coca-Cola, a world-wide drink came into being.

    3. During World WarⅡ, scientists at the University of Birmingham invented the magnetron(磁控管)—an important heat-producing part of the microwave oven. While working for Raytheon Corporation after the war, the American engineer Percy Spencer was testing the magnetron when a chocolate bar in his pocket melted. He went on to test other foods including popcorn kernels(仁), and found it to be a much more efficient way to cook. In 1947 Raytheon came out with the first restaurant microwave oven, which was six feet tall and weighed 750 lbs.
    小题1:The right time order of the three inventions should be ________.
    A．fireworks, the microwave and Coca-Cola
    B．fireworks, Coca-Cola and the microwave
    C．Coca-Cola, fireworks and the microwave
    D．the microwave, Coca-Cola and fireworks
    小题2:Percy Spencer found the microwave efficient in cooking when he was ________.
    A．looking for a way to melt his chocolate
    B．trying to know how a magnetron could cook
    C．working to know how the magnetron works
    D．asked to invent a restaurant microwave oven
    小题3:The underlined phrase “ blew up” might mean _______ in Chinese.
    A．爆炸B．膨胀C．升华D．蒸发
    小题4:What can we learn from the above invention stories?
    A．Experiments make great inventors of our time.
    B．Nothing is impossible if one tries each day.
    C．Inventors come out of hard work at any time.
    D．A small incident may lead to a great invention.

    Before I even started school, people felt that I was not going to amount to much. At the age of four, I started speech lessons because even I could not speak well enough to be understood.
    First grade was a struggle. I not only had difficulty speaking, but I was expected to learn to read and I just couldn't do it. My parents grew more and more frustrated. They bought books and offered great rewards if I could read one of them from start to finish to them. Well, with my speech problems and now my reading problems, I did not like to do reading and so refused to do it whenever possible.
    Second grade was not much better. It was in the second grade that the teacher decided that I needed special education. I remember the days of taking the physical exams. However, after all that, they decided that I did not qualify for special education.
    It was in third grade that a new school was built close to where I lived. I remember going there with my parents and helping to get the school ready so that we could transfer(转学). It was a happy day that we started school at Vandalia. However, things did not get better as my parent expected.
    It was now time for fifth grade. Mrs. Wakefield was my teacher, and if ever there was a teacher that deserved a gold star, it was her. She did not make me feel upset. Instead, she helped me in so many ways and built my self-confidence so that I actually did believe that I could do something special. And that is just what I did.
    For the past 22 years, I have been a fifth grade teacher. Because of Mrs. Wakefield's influence in my life, I am now encouraging students who have had difficulties in their lives to believe that they can overcome and become someone. I have won a large number of awards but I know that all of them belong to one fifth grade teacher who believed in me and challenged me to be all that I could be.
    I still have a class picture of her with her fifth grade class hanging on the wall of my office, encouraging other teachers to reach out to their students.
    小题1: What does the underlined phrase “amount to much” mean in Paragraph l?
    A．get rich.B．get successful.
    C．get recovered.D．become healthy.
    小题2:From the second paragraph we know that______________.
    A．the writer's parents lost confidence in the writer completely
    B．the writer's speech problems didn’t stop him from reading
    C．the writer's parents tried many things to encourage him
    D．the writer couldn't improve his speech ability from reading
    小题3:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．The writer’s parents believed he could get improved in his speech ability.
    B．The new school was not far away from where they lived.
    C．The teachers in the new school were gold stars
    D．The writer himself wanted to transfer to a new school.
    小题4:In which grade did the turning point in writer's life appear?
    A．In Grade Two.B．In Grade Three
    C．In Grade FourD．In Grade Five
    小题5:.What can we learn from the passage?
    A．A good teacher is hard to find in our lives.
    B．Many students have speech difficulties,
    C．Confidence is very important in one's life
