the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon.

The success of this

book encouraged him to write more stories such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864)

and From the Earth to the Moon ( 1865).

In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions. Jules Verne

wrote about scientific subjects in his stories and, as a result, they were very

popular. Verne's writing included many predictions(预言) for the 20th

century and many of them came true. He described space flight, movies, and

air conditioning, a long time before they appeared. These books were very

successful and they made Verae rich. Jules Verne's books have been the

subjects for many movies. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a successful

movie for Walt Disney. It was the first Disney movie to use real actors

instead of cartoon drawings. Around the World in Eighty Dap is another

Gloria is a famous hostess of a TV station. When she was 15, she happened to walk into a

bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. Hie man behind the

counter, John Smith, asked if she'd like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said

yes.

Gloria worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first

year of college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the student

union, was a hotel cleaner and even made maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one

of the most satisfying jobs.

One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Gloria for books on cancer. The woman

seemed anxious. Gloria showed her practically everything they had and found other books they

could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Gloria has always remembered the

pride( 自豪顾客).

Years later, as a television hostess, Gloria heard about a child who was born with problems

with his fingers and hand. His family could not afford an operation, and the boy lived in shame,

hiding his hand in his pocket all the time.

Gloria persuaded(说服) her boss to agree to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast,

some doctors called, offering to perform the operation for free.

Gloria visited the boy in the hospital after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up

his repaired hand and say, "Thank you. " What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!

At Smith's bookstore, Gloria always realized she was working for the customers, not the store.

Today it's the same. The TV station pays her, but she feels that she should work for the people

who watch the programmes, helping them understand the world better.

( )56. When did Gloria get her first job?

A. A few years before college. B. Several years after college.

C When she was studying at college. D. When she was working in the TV station.

( )57. In which part-time job did Gloria feel the happiest? A. Cleaning in the hotel. B. Selling books in the bookstore.

C. Serving coffee in the student union. D. Making maps for the Forest Service.

( 所指) ?

A. The boss.

B. The woman. C Gloria. D. The doctor.

( )59. How did Gloria help the child get the operation he needed?

A. Her boss agreed to raise money. B. She paid for the operation herself.

C She allowed the boy to show on TV. D. Her news report affected some doctors.

( )60. What particularly gives her the feeling of pride?

A. Helping people through her work. B. Reporting interesting stories.

C Being able to do different jobs well. D. Paying for her college education herself.

Boys and girls, please stay together. Let's hurry up and begin our class trip to the museum. The visit starts on the first floor. Pay attention to the information about the technology in the old days. Spend as much time as you can looking at everything, because we won't come back.

Then we' 11 go upstairs to the second floor. After we arrive at the Inventors of the 20th Century Room, please read the invention stories and look at some modern inventions as well. While you look at these inventions, think about how they can make our lives more comfortable.

When you have finished looking at the things on show, take a lift up to the fourth floor. You can go to the cafe for a drink, but don't stay too long. If you want to know more about the museum, you can buy books or magazines, or ask the guide for help. Remember: the most helpful way is to search the museum' s website and download everything you need. I'm looking forward to reading the reports about your visit next Monday.
