Removing the sleeve (封套), you will find a book that is entirely white,except for the names of its author and subject in elegant black type on the cover. It is the perfect design for the biography of a man who insisted that even the insides of his products be perfectly constructed, and that his factory walls flash in the whitest white.

The cover was the only part of the book Steve Jobs wanted to control,writes Isaacson in his introduction.Though Mr. Jobs pushed the biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin to write in his own way, generously allowing the writer more than 40 interviews, this book offers quite a different view of Mr. Jobs, who won much praise from his fans after his death on October 5th at the age of 56.

As a biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin, Mr. Isaacson knows how to celebrate long­dead genius, but he claimed that Steve Jobs would not be entirely praiseful words.The picture he paints, particularly in the first half of this book, is not nice. Mr. Jobs emerges as a controlling and often cold­blooded character. A child of the 1960s counter­culture (反主流文化)，he hated materialism and lived in simply furnished houses (in part because he was too particular about furniture),But when Apple went public in 1980, he refused to give any share to Daniel Kottke, a longtime supporter and soul mate from college. “He has to abandon the people he is close to”, observes Andy Hertzfeld, an early Apple engineer.

Mr. Jobs was undoubtedly possessing an extraordinary ability to attract others and inspire a kind of faith that could not be questioned. But also he could be cold and cruel. If he disapproved of an employee’s work，he often shamed him.“This is who I am,” he once said after being challenged,“and you can’t expect me to be someone I’m not.” This disgusting personality wasn’t always helpful, but it served a purpose, writes Mr. Isaacson, many would “end their chain of horror stories by saying that he got them to do things they never dreamed possible”．

Mr. Isaacson treats Steve Jobs as the biography of record,which means that it is a strange book to read so soon after its subject’s death.

1.The biography for Jobs is believed to have the perfect design because________.

A. it follows Jobs’ style

B. its cover is entirely white

C. black and white are his favorite

D. it is designed by a famous biographer

2.The picture of Jobs that Isaacson paints in his book is________.

①cruel ②humorous ③particular ④generous

A. ①③ B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ③④

3.It can be safely concluded that________.

A. Jobs is highly spoken of in the book

B. Isaacson doesn’t think Jobs a good man

C. Jobs didn’t care about the design of the book

D. all descriptions of Jobs are not nice in the book

4.This passage can be classified as________.

A. a personal diary B. a book review

C. a news report D. a TV interview

In summer, millions of people will head for the beach．And while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful in another way. Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity．

“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland．“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves．”

Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity．Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean．“The winds start out by making little ripples (波紋) in the water, but if they keep on blowing , those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ” Taylor said．“Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey．”

When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (渦輪) ．The turbine can then power an electrical generator (發(fā)電機) ．

The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy , and it is already being used in Scotland．

The resource is huge．We will never run out of wave power, besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil and coal．

Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface．That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world．There are some drawbacks, however．

Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money．He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown．Plus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic．

With more research, however, “many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said．“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world．Finding more energy sources is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day．”

In the future, when you turn on a light switch, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!

1.Which of the following is NOT true?

A．Wave power costs too much money．

B．Wave energy creates the same amount of pollution as other energy sources．

C．Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic．

D．Wave power may affect marine animals．

2.We can infer from the passage that ______．

A．finding new energy sources like wave energy is important

B．wave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the world

C．wave power is perfect for creating energy around the world

D．wave power doesn’t create any pollution

3.The underlined word “drawbacks” in the seventh paragraph probably means______．

A．regrets B．a(chǎn)dventures

C．disadvantages D．difficulties

4.What can be the best title for the passage?

A．How to Get Electricity by Waves．

B．A Huge Resource of Energy．

C．Can Waves Make Electricity?

D．The Disadvantages of Wave Energy．
