It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles（车辆） several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine?The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a workers family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldnt tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.21. The main idea of the passage is _.A. James Watt invented the steam engineB. James Watt first used horse-power as a unit of measureC. how much power does a horse haveD. why Watts engine is called a ten horse-power engine22. The story says that Watt made the first _.A. engine B. horse-power engine C. useful engine D. widely used steam engine23. James Watt was born in _.A. a workers family B. a farmers family C. a teachers family D. a doctors family24. One horse-power means the _.A. work a horse could do in a minute B. weight a horse could do in ten minutes C. work a horse could do in ten minutes D. weight of one horseBFire can help people in many ways. But can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water, warm your houses, give light, and cook food. But fire can burn things too. It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests. Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down. Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast. Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen（氧气） they die. There is oxygen in the air. Cover a fire with water, sand, or in an emergency（紧急情况）, with your coat or something else. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it. Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you. 25. Which is true?A. We are not sure how people started to use fire. B. It is an Australian who started a fire. C. We know how people began to use fire. D. Nobody knows how to make a fire. 26. Children mustnt play with matches because _. A. matches burn paperB. it is not interestingC. matches can be dangerousD. they dont know how to make a fire with matches27. If you are going to put out a fire, you _. A. must be careful with matchesB. ought to know it can be harmfulC. have to cover it with water onlyD. should keep air away from itCMost of us know about the Nobel Prize, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, but few of us know anything about the man who set them up. His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives（炸药）. His companies even made and sold weapons（武器）. Isnt this something that surprises you? The man who made money from weapons should set up the Peace Prize?Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world. He was one of the richest in Europe. When he died in 1896, he left behind him a lot of money and his famous will. According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund. He wanted the interest（利息） from the fund to be used as prizes every year. We know them as the Nobel Prizes. The Nobel Prizes are international. Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from.Alfred Nobel had given his whole life to his studies and work and to the benefits of mankind.
