Franklin's life is full of charming (有趣的) stories which all young men should know--how

Franklin's life is full of charming (有趣的) stories which all young men should know--how he peddled(叫卖) ballads in Boston, and stood, the guest of kings, in Europe; how he worked his pas sage as a stowaway to Philadelphia, and rode in the queen's own litter in France; how he walked the streets of Philadelphia, homeless and unknown, with three penny rolls for his breakfast, and dined at the tables of princess, and received his friends in a palace; how he raised a kite from a cow shed, and was showered with all the high degrees the colleges of the world could give, how he was duped by a false friend as a boy, and became the friend of all humanity as a man; how he was made Major Gen eral Franklin, only to resign because; as he said, he was no soldier, and yet helped to organize the army that stood before the trained troops of England and Germany.

This poor Boston boy, with scarcely a day's schooling, became master of six languages and never stopped studying; this neglected apprentice tamed the lightening, made his name famous, received degrees and diplomas from colleges in both hemispheres, and became forever remembered as "Doctor Franklin" ,philosopher ,patriot ,scientist ,philanthropist(慈善家) and statesman.

Self-made, self-taught, self-reared ,the candle maker's son gave light to all the world; the street ballad seller set all men singing of liberty; the runaway apprentice became the most sought-after man of two continents, and brought his native land to praise and honour him.

He built America--for what our Republic today is largely due to the prudence, the forethought, the statesmanship, the enterprise, the wisdom, and the ability of Benjamin Franklin. He belongs to the world, but especially does he belong to America. As the nations honoured him while living, so the Re public glorifies him when dead, and has enshrined him in the choicest of its niches--the one he regarded as the loftiest--the hearts of the common people, from whom he had sprung and in their hearts Franklin will live forever.

Which of the following is not mentioned in the first paragraph?

A.Franklin lived a poor life in Boston when he was young.

B.When Franklin first got to philadelphia, he was homeless and unknown, and he had to buy cheap bread for breakfast.

C.Franklin was cheated by a false friend as a boy.

D.Franklin was a candle maker's son and mastered six languages.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

听力原文: Who is the most important person in the United States? Someone will say Thomas Jefferson, some will say Washington and I believe most people will say it's Benjamin Franklin.

Often called "the first American" and "the last universal man", Benjamin Franklin's life covered most of the eighteenth century--(26) from 1706 to 1790. He was America's first great scientist and engineer and an author and philosopher of rare wit. He was one of the first supporters of the federal system of government and one of the great educational pioneers of his day. He was a successful businessman, a believer in free enterprise, and a statesman and diplomat. He truly seemed able to do almost everything.

Always curious, Franklin looked for easier and better ways to do things. He invented an open stove which gave more heat and wasted less fuel than a fireplace. It is still used in many places today. (27)He also made the first pair of bifocal glasses and invented a musical instrument called the harmonica and the stepladder chair.

(28) Franklin was especially famous as an early experimenter in electricity. On a June day in 1752, during a thunderstorm, he flew a silken kite up into the stormy sky. As a black cloud swept across the kite, a key attached to the kite string became charged with electricity. Thus, he proved that lightning and electricity are the same. Using this knowledge, he invented the lightning rod which today protects millions of buildings from lightning.

(27)

A.The World War II.

B.The World War I.

C.The American Revolution.

D.The Industrial Revolution of Britain.

听力原文: Every culture has many sayings that give advice about life. These sayings are pa
rt of what is commonly called folk wisdom. Of course, folk wisdom is also expressed in other ways, such as myths, fairy tales, legends, and songs. Often however, folk wisdom is shared in the form. of short sayings about the best ways to approach life's joys and sorrows.

One characteristic of American folk wisdom is its humor. Humor makes the bitter medicine of life easier to swallow. It sometimes makes the harsh realities of life more attractive. For example, Ben Franklin's clever saying, "A full belly makes a dull brain" means "People who are well-fed or self-satisfied can become lazy and stupid." But this paraphrasing loses the elegance and humor of Franklin's original saying. Some moralists in the United States are successful because they are able to say wise things humorously.

Abraham Lincoln expressed similar opinions about life but in a different way. Lincoln continued the tradition of "horse sense" humor. This type of humor appeals to people who are hungry for practical common sense. Lincoln, both a politician and an idealist, understood the need for horse sense. He knew how to use common sense to influence people's opinion. He could take the highest moral principles or the most critical observations and use them in folksy—or simple commonsense—humor to make them better understood and more easily accepted. Take, for example, this quote, which is one of best known in the United States: "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." Another of Lincoln's wise, folksy statements is: "The Lord prefers common-looking people. That's why he makes so many of them."

There is no doubt that people need a little push sometimes to help them see the folly of their ways. Mark Twain used humor to reveal that many popular ideas were false, foolish, or even harmful. Twain thought that most human beings didn't examine why they believe certain things, and that they were too easily influenced by the opinions of people in power. He felt that it was easier for people to be "misled" than to be led correctly, so he tried to show the foolishness of those in power. For example, he said, "Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side and ain't that a big enough majority in any town?"

Now you may get the impression that Twain was a misanthrope, a person who saw everyone' s mistakes and never noticed their good qualities. It's true that his humor was sometimes harsh, but it was used to reveal truths about human relationships. Twain thought the result would be a better, more just society. However, he also realized that he irritated a lot of people. He was aware that when newspapers reported his death, many people might be happy to hear the news. The telegram he sent from Europe to the Associated Press is typical of his humor. It read, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."

Questions:

16.According to the talk, what is major characteristic of "folk wisdom"?

17.According to the talk, what is the major difference between Franklin and Lincoln when composing short sayings of folk wisdom?

18.According to the talk, which of the following statements is true about "horse sense" humor?

19.According to the talk, what was Mark Twain's purpose for using humor?

20.According to the talk, why did Mark Twain send the telegram which said, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. "?
