The end of the school year was in sight and spirits were high. I was back teaching after an absence of 15 years, dealing with the various kinds of “forbidden fruit” that come out of book bags. Now was the spring of the water pistol(手槍).

I decided to think up a method of dealing with forbidden fruit.

“Please bring that pistol to me,” I said.”I’m going to put it in my Grandma’s Box.”

“What’s that?” they asked.

“It’s a large wooden chest full of toys for my grandchildren,” I replied.

“You don’t have grandchildren,” someone said.

“I don’t now,” I replied. “But someday I will. When I do, my box will be full of wonderful things for them.”

My imaginary Grandma’s Box worked like magic that spring, and later. Sometimes students would ask me to describe all the things I had in it. Then I would try to remember the different possessions I supposedly had taken away —sine I seldom actually kept them. Usually the offender would appear at the end of the day, and I would return the belonging.

The years went by, and my first grandchild Gordon was born. I shared my joy with that year’s class. Then someone said,” Now you can use your Grandma’s Box.” From then on, instead of coming to ask their possessions back, the students would say. “That’s okay. Put it in your Grandma’s Box for Gordon.”

I loved talking about the imaginary box, not only with my students but also with my own children. They enjoyed hearing about all the forbidden fruit I had collected. Then one Christmas I received a surprise gift—a large, beautifully made wooden chest. My son Bruce had made my Grandma’s Box a reality.

24. What was the author’s purpose in having the conversation with the students?

A. To collect the water pistol.

B. To talk about her grandchildren.

C. To recommend some toys.

D. To explain her teaching method.

25. What do the underlined words “the offender” in paragraph 8 refer to?

A. The student’s parent.

B. The maker of the Grandma’s Box.

C. The author’s grandchild.

D. The owner of the forbidden fruit.

26. What did the students do after they learned about the birth of Gordon?

A. They went to play with the baby.

B. They asked to see the Grandma’s Box.

C. They made a present for Gordon.

D. They stopped asking their toys back.

27. What can we infer about the author?

A. She enjoys telling jokes.

B. She is a strict and smart teacher.

C. She loves doing woodwork.

D. She is a responsible grandmother.

C

In May 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday party. The bridge was closed to motor traffic so people could enjoy a walk across it. Organizers expected perhaps 50,000 people to show up. Instead, as many as 800,000 crowded the roads to the bridge. By the time 250,000 were on the bridge, engineers noticed something terrible: the roadway was flattening under what turned out to be the heaviest load it had ever been asked to carry. Worse, it was beginning to sway (晃動). The authorities closed access to the bridge and tens of thousands of people made their way back to land. A disaster was avoided.

The story is one of scores in To Forgive Design: Understanding Failure,a book that is at once a love letter to engineering and a paean (贊歌) to its breakdowns. Its author, Dr. Henry Petroski, has long been writing about disasters. In this book he includes the loss of the space shuttles (航天飛機) Challenger and Columbia, and the sinking of the Titanic.

Though he acknowledges that engineering works can fail because the person who thought them up or engineered them simply got things wrong, in this book Dr. Petroski widens his view to consider the larger context in which such failures occur. Sometimes devices fail because a good design is constructed with low quality materials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a design works so well it is adopted elsewhere again and again, with seemingly harmless improvements, until, suddenly, it does not work at all anymore.

Readers will encounter not only stories they have heard before, but some new stories and a moving discussion of the responsibility of the engineer to the public and the ways young engineers can be helped to grasp therm.

“Success is success but that is all that it is,” Dr. Petroski writes. It is failure that brings improvement.

28. What happened to the Golden Gate Bridge on its 50th birthday?

A. It carried more weight than it could.

B. It swayed violently in a strong wind.

C. Its roadway was damaged by vehicles.

D. Its access was blocked by many people.

29. Which of the following is Dr. Ptroski’s idea according to paragraph 3?

A. No design is well received everywhere.

B. Construction is more important than design.

C. Not all disasters are caused by engineering design.

D. Improvements on engineering works are necessary.

30. What does the last paragraph suggest?

A. Failure can lead to progress.

B. Success results in overconfidence.

C. Failure should be avoided.

D. Success comes from joint efforts.

31. What is the text?

A. A news report.    B. A short story.        C. A book review.     D. A research article.
