Joy Mangano is now an American inventor. She was divorced and had three kids under age 7 when she was 33, and was barely keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra hours as a waitress. “There were times when I would lie in bed and think. I didn't know how I was going to pay that bill,” Mangano says.
But she had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was tired, of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mangano says. “So, There's gotta be a better way.”
How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool you could twist in two directions at once, and still keep your hands clean and dry. She set out to sell it, first a few at flea markets.
Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes (电视迷) buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed Mangano was sure it would sell if they'd let her do the on-camera display. She said, “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because it's a great item.”
So QVC, a multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping, took a chance on her. “I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”

Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.
Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children of his age were not even allowed to dive.
After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.
Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them .Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for rry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken.The diving spots afforded such a wide range of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.
Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.
8. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?
A. His daughter had grown up.
B. He had become a famous diver.
C. His father would dive with him.
D. His daughter would dive with him.
9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A. Larry had some special right.
B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.
C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.
D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.
10. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?
A. Larry didn’t wear a watch.
B. Larry was not good at math.
C. Larry had a poor memory.
D. Larry enjoyed the adventure.
11. What did Larry expect his daughter to do?
A. Become a successful diver.
B. Make a good diving guide.
C. Take a lot of photo underwater.
D. Have longer hours of training.
D
This is Scientific America's 60-Second Science. I am Christopher Intagliata.
The Apollo missions brought back 842 pounds of rock and soil from the moon, that's nearly 2200 different samples. But the most interesting one, according to a scientist Meenakshi Wadhwa, is a sample named "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5collected by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11.
“He was about to step back into the lunar module(登月舱) when he turned around and saw there were little spaces in the rock box. He knew that geologists on earth would be just so excited to study these materials, so he just scooped up nine scoops(勺) of soil and put it into the box." Wadhwa explained.
It was one of the most well studied samples of the Apollo missions. And a geologist named John Wood noticed white flecks(微粒) of rock in the soil, which inspired him to dig deeper into the moon's ancient past.
“This was quite a leap of imagination — he proposed that the whole of the moon had been almost covered with a magma(岩浆) ocean nearly 4.5 billion years ago. This was a revolutionary idea at the time, because people had thought the moon had formed cold, so it completely changed our idea how the moon formed.”
But Wadhwa has a more personal reason to appreciate this sample. She met her husband Scott Parazynski also because of this rock sample. Scott, a mountaineer at that time, wanted to climbMount Everestwith a moon rock while Wadhwa was the chairman of the NASA committee that gives access to the samples for scientific purposes.
Neil Armstrong's last-minute scoop of moon dust brought two people together here on Earth and upturned
our understanding of how the moon — and the Earth itself-got here.
Thank you for listening for Scientific American's 60-Second Science.
12. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that ________ .
A. Neil Armstrong was excited to find the soil
B. the spaceship was about to land on the moon
C. Sample "Apollo1-008-5" was collected at the last minute
D. scientists were not satisfied with the samples brought back by Neil
13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. Scott made a new proposal about the moon's origin.
B. The Apollo missions brought back 842 rock samples.
C. "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5" brought new evidence to the moon's formation.
D. Wadhwa and her husband climbedMount Everestwith a moon rock.
14. What is this text?
A. A short interview.
B. An introduction to a scientist.
C. An inspiring speech.
D. A broadcast story of a program.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A romantic story of a moon rock.
B. A big leap made by Neil Armstrong.
C. An unusual task for Apollo missions.
D. An unexpected discovery in moon exploration.

Thana was a postman. His service range covered Vinayak Mudali street and its four nearby roads. It took him nearly six hours to cover the area. That was because he tried to be friendly with peopleforwhom he brought letters. He used to take personal interest in their lives and problems. He would comfort one, offer help to another and give hope to the third. On hot days, he would enjoy buttermilk at someone’s house. He had thus become a part of their life. Everybody liked him.
Thana was most friendly with Raman, a senior clerk in the bank office. Raman had a 23-year- old daughter named Kama, who was a tall, beautiful young lady. These days, Raman was worrying about her marriage and told Thana that his father, whose health was failing, was anxious to see his granddaughter get married soon. The old man, living in another city, had set apart five thousand rupees for her marriage. The old man blamed that Raman was not making enough efforts for his daughter's marriage. Thana comforted Raman and offered to contact the parents of a young man who lived in Delhi. They quickly arranged a blind date for Kama and the young man, who fell in love at the first sight.
Everything went smoothly. At last their wedding day came on May 20th. The wedding party was full of sweet smell of flowers and wines. Everyone in the neighbourhood came. Raman, in high spirits, talked with guests and laughed all the time. The pity was that grandpa didn't show up because of his worsening health. Thana went to the wedding and brought Raman several letters of congratulation. Thana congratulated the young couple, calling them a perfect match. The young couple smiled happily and thanked him for his help and warm-heartedness.
