21、   Thomas Edison, inventor of such items as the phonograph (留声机) and the world's first practical light bulb, is known around the world. But another lesser-known figure is owed his share of credit — Edison's competitor, Nikola Tesla. It took the work of both men to make possible a world that runs on electric power; however, their names were not always shared.

Edison, a self-made American inventor, built his name as a successful businessman.Tesla, a well-educated Serbian immigrant, was a tireless thinker. In 1882, Tesla got a job in the Paris branch of Continental Edison Company. Soon, his obvious skill won him a position at the Edison Machine Works in the United States, where the goal was to bring electricity to all of New York City. But Edison and Tesla had different ideas about how to make that goal a reality.

Edison worked mainly with direct current (DC) power. Although DC would prove useful in the decades to come, it was only effective at the time for powering things that were about a mile or less from the power source. However, alternating current (AC) power-supported by Tesla allowed electricity to be carried over long distances through power lines.

Soon the battle between the two was on. Edison proposed that several small DC-based power plants could be constructed to power different parts of a city, but this was impractical. Desperate to succeed, Edison attempted to show that DC power “was safe”— he even electrocuted (电死) an elephant to show the “dangers” of AC. In the end, however, it was practical, inexpensive AC that won the battle. By 1896, even Edison's own company had adopted AC.

Tesla succeeded, but Edison, whose self-branded companies won him over a thousand patents, is the more well-known of the two. Regardless, each inventor had a big hand in shaping the way we live.

【1】What does the underlined word “credit” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．Cast.

B．Trust.

C．Recognition.

D．Debt.

【2】What do we know about Nikola Tesla?

A．He finished college in Paris.

B．He worked as Edison's employee at first.

C．He invented many things with Edison.

D．He was admired by Edison for his invention.

【3】What's a big difference between AC and DC power?

A．DC power moves more quickly.

B．AC power ranges over larger areas.

C．AC power is much safer and cheaper.

D．DC power can be widely used in more fields.

【4】What's the best title for the text?

A．Edison vs Tesla: the war of the currents

B．Edison: the inventor of the first light bulb

C．DC vs AC: the theory behind the two concepts

D．Nikola Tesla: a name that should be remembered

22、 Hearing the Sweetest Songs

My parents said I lost my hearing as a baby, but I knew I hadn't lost anything. None of my parts had dropped off. Nothing had changed： I could hear music that was close enough to me. I could also hear my mom when she was in the same room. I could even hear my cat purr if I put my good ear on top of him.

I wasn't aware of any hearing loss until I began to wear a hearing aid when I started living alone. I noticed it ruined my peace of mind: pencils tapping, phones ringing, and refrigerators humming. Then, I began to discover many things I couldn't do. I couldn't tell where sounds came from, nor could I tell fire alarms from burglar alarms. I once missed a job interview because I misheard the address on the phone. For the first time, I had to admit that I had lost something.

Unlike a wheelchair, my disability doesn't announce itself. When I got jobs, I chose to keep it as a secret. One day a business friend said, "Nicolette, sometimes in meetings you answer the wrong questions. People don't know you can't hear, so they think you're strange, stupid﹣or just plain rude. It would be better to just tell them." But I knew if I told, people might see only my disability, and they might forget that I was also a writer, a painter, and a good gardener. I felt disabled and helpless.

This bothered me till I met my husband. One morning at the shore I was listening to the sounds of the sea when my husband said, "Hear the bird?" "What bird?" I listened hard until I heard a tiny sound. If he hadn't mentioned it I would never have noticed it. As I listened, slowly I began to hear﹣or perhaps imagine﹣a distant song. Did I really hear it? Or just heard in my heart what he shared with me? I realized that songs imagined were as sweet as songs heard and songs shared were sweeter still.

This sharing is what both the disabled and non-disabled want. Every one of us, if we live long enough, will become disabled in some way. Let's share. Now, just let me see your lips when you speak. And ask what you want to know. These are conversations we all should have, and it's not that hard to begin.

【1】When the author wore the hearing aid, she_____.

A.felt better prepared for the job interviews

B.was able to enjoy different sounds

C.experienced a sense of loss

D.was teased by others

【2】She didn't tell her disability to others because_______.

A.people might focus on her hearing loss

B.she could get the work done as abled

C.people might be curious about it

D.she wanted to do more jobs

【3】Why did Nicolette write the passage?

A.To draw people's attention to the hearing problem．

B.To tell people not to treat the disabled differently．

C.To remember the challenges she faced．

D.To show how much she missed before．
