A land free from destruction（毀滅，破壞）, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply ——  all these were important  1       in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution.  2        they were not enough. Something else was needed to start the industrial process. That "something special" was men ——  3       individuals who could invent machines, find new 4       of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society. The men who created the machines of the Industrial Revolution  5      from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were  6        inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research  7        .He is not necessarily working  8       that his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is all trying to make something that has a concrete use. He may try to solve a problem by  9        the theories  10        science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a   11       result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb（燈泡）, or one of  12       other objectives. Most of the people who  13        the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had little or no training in science might not have made their inventions  14       a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years 15      .

       Many students eat their breakfasts on the way to school or in the dinning-room．But some of them don’t really know how to eat well when eating out．

       Here is some important advice．The first is to eat less fast food．The most obvious harm of eating too much fast food is weight gaining because of too much fat．Young people and adults are at risk of disease related to weight．

       Too much fast food can drag your body down．French fries, for example, were recently found to contain much more acrylamide（丙烯酰胺） than other food．This may cause cancer．Actually, deep fried food all contains acrylamide．So don’t eat it too often．

       Soda is another thing you should watch out for．Cokes and other sodas contain a lot of sugar and can slow down a person’s calcium absorption, so it’s best to drink as little soda as possible．

       Food in the dinning-room may not be as tasty as fast food, but it’s actually easier to make healthy choices．Human bodies need variety．You can have a dinner that balances lean proteins, vitamins and complex carbohydrates（碳水化合物）．In other words, a meal with fish or meat, vegetables and some bread or rice will provide you with most nutrients that the body needs．

       Some snacks, on the other hand, will help keep you going until your next big meal．It is natural for teenagers, especially boys, to feel hungry during school time．Don’t forget to take some foods, like whole-grain biscuits or low-fat milk in your school bag．

Guests sleep in seven sunny bedrooms right in the farmhouse and can participate in any of the farm jobs. Maybe you and your kids won’t be up at 6 a.m. to meet the milk truck, but you can help with the milking twice a day, collect eggs, and pick sweet corn and wild blackberries in season.

It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”

“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.

My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and went. I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.

When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, there’s no telling what might have happened. A broken rib (肋骨) might have pierced (穿透) a lung....”

My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled (憤慨地說出) those words at him earlier in the day?

It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

“Daddy... I am so sorry....”

“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay.”

“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”

My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though.” He managed a weak smile.

My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.

      A. his father had a terrible accident

      B. he couldn’t drive to the mall with his friends

       C. his friends hadn’t invited him to the cinema

      D. his father didn’t allow him to go out with his friends

      A. Because he didn’t go along with his father.

      B. Because he was rude to his father that morning.

      C. he just wanted to comfort his son

      D. he lost his memory after the accident
