    The most popular food in America was invented because a cook got angry. George Crum was a cook at a restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York. One day in 1853, a customer(顾客) who had ordered fried(油炸的) potatoes sent them back to the kitchen. He wanted the cook to slice(切) them thinner and fry them longer. George Crum had a bad temper(脾气), and he thought the potatoes were fine the way he made them. To teach the customer a lesson, he sliced potatoes very thin and fried them until they were crispy(脆的). But instead of being angry, the customer loved the new fried potatoes. He asked for more. Other people who tried them like them too, and customers kept asking for them. Far many years, people called them Saratoga chips after the town where they were first made.

    Even now, after more than 150 years, potato chips are very popular. At least one of every ten potatoes grown in the United States is made into potato chips. So if you like potato chips, be glad George Crum had a bad temper!

    Daisy is a teacher who works in a primary school. She often plays games with her students so they like her class a lot.

    One day, Daisy decided to have her class play a potato game. She told each student to carry a bag with a few potatoes in it to school. Each student would "name" their potatoes after people they did not like, so the number of potatoes would be different depending on*their own situations.

    The next day, all of the students brought their potatoes to school. Some children had just one or two potatoes, while others had as many as five or six. The children were taking about names of their potatoes happily when Daisy came into the classroom. She then told the children that they would have to carry their potatoes with them for one week wherever they went, even when they went to the restroom. The children laughed and thought the game was really interesting.

    A few days passed by. Some of the students started to complain, as their potatoes began to rot and had a strong and bad smell. The students who carried more potatoes also complained about how heavy their bags were.

    One week later, the kids were so happy to hear their teacher say that the game was over. Daisy asked, "How did you feel about carrying around your potatoes for a week?"

    The students complained once again. Daisy simply smiled and said, "This is what it's like to carry hate* in your heart. You have to carry it with you wherever you go. If you can't bear* carrying rotten potatoes for one week, can you imagine having hate in your heart for your lifetime?"

 Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): 

Jean Paul Getty was born in 1892 in Minneapolis,Minnesota. He became a millionaire when he was only 24. His father was wealthy, but he did not help his son. Getty made his millions alone. He made his money from oil. He owned Getty Oil and over 100 other companies. A famous magazine on economy once called Getty "the richest man in the world.

But money ____    ____. He married five times and divorced(离婚) five times. He had five children but spent little time with them. None of Getty's children had very happy lives.

Getty loved to make money and loved to save it. Although he was very rich, he was still very mean. Every evening, he wrote down every cent he spent that day. He even put telephones in the guest' s bedrooms in his house, so he could save money on phone bills.

In 1973, kidnappers (绑匪) took his 16-year-old grandson for a large amount of money. Getty' s son asked his father for money to save his child, but Getty refused. The kidnappers were cruel and Getty' s son made repeated requests for help from his father. Finally, Getty agreed to lend him $1,000,000, but he needed an extra $50,000 more in return.

Getty started a museum at his home Malibu,California. He bought many important and beautiful pieces of art for the museum. When Getty died in 1976, the value of the collection in the museum was $1 billion. He left all his money to the museum. After his death, the museum grew in size. Today it is one of the most important museums in the United States. Getty made a lot of money in his life, but he gave all his money to the art world because he wanted people to learn about art and love it.

 阅读下列材料,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。

My best friend Jenny and I got to the mall for shopping. She held up a white sweater and nice skirt. "Do you like them?" she asked. 

"They're great, " I said. Jenny smiled and keep looking while I moved about, touching the beautiful clothes. "I'll try them on, " Jenny walked towards the dressing room. After a while, she came out in the outfit (一套衣服). She looked beautiful. 

Part of me wanted to say how good she looked, but another part stopped the words coming out. Jenny was in such good shape( 外 形 )that she'd look good in the outfit. Sometimes, I regretted(后悔)choosing a best friend who was so pretty. God, why can't I be the one with the rich parents and the great look? More and more, I was envious (妒忌的) of her. 

"Well, Tina, what do you think?" Jenny asked more than once. "Do you like it?"

The outfit looked great on her, but I lied, "Not really. I think you need something with more colors. "

"You think so?" Jenny said doubtfully. 

"Just believe me. We'll find something better, " I told her, pushing her back into the dressing room. "You just can't buy the first thing you see. " I did my best to get Jenny out of the store, away from that outfit. As we left, Jenny gave the outfit one last look. 

Just down the mall, we passed an ice-cream place. "My treat, " Jenny said, pulling out her wallet(钱包). 

I could never say no to ice-cream, so we got some and sat down at a table. As Jenny talked without stopping about a million things, I thought about my feelings toward her. Those feelings weren't kind. 

Sitting there, I began to see Jenny in a new light! Jenny was attractive (吸引人的) not just because of her good luck, but more because of her kindness. Treating me to ice-cream was far from her only show of generosity(大方). She also let me drive her car and borrow her clothes. 

Finishing our ice-cream, we headed for the next clothing store. "Look at that red sweater, " Jenny said when we passed the window. "It would be nice for you. Soon maybe you'll have enough by saving your pocket money to buy something like that. "

A few minutes earlier, all I had heard was about saving my pocket money. I had hated the fact that Jenny could ask her parents for anything, and they'd buy it for her. This time, however, I heard more. I heard the voice of someone who loved for who I was. So I needed to express( 表达)the same to her.
