★Reading for fun.课外阅读。 Maybe the word “hello” is used more often than any other one in the English language.Everyone in the United States and other countries uses the word,again and again,everyday of the week. The American inventor Thomas Edison is believed to be the first person to use “hello” on the telephone soon after the invention of it. At first,people began their words on the telephone with “Are you there?” They were not sure the small machine could really carry voices. Edison was a man of few words.He wasted no time.The first time he picked up the telephone,he did not ask if anyone was there.He was sure someone was there and only said “hello”. From then on, “hello” is often heard when you pick up the telephone. 参考译文： 在英语中可能单词“hello”比其他任何单词更频繁地被使用。在美国，在其他国家的人们每天都在一遍一遍地使用这个单词。 美国发明家托马斯•爱迪生被认为是在电话发明后不久第一个通过电话使用“hello”的人。 起先，人们打电话先说“你在那儿吗”。他们不相信这个小小的仪器真的能够传送声音。爱迪生是个沉默寡言的人，他从不浪费时间。他第一次拿起电话时，没有问是否那儿有人，他相信有人一定在那儿，于是只说了句“hello”。 从那以后，当你打电话的时候“hello”就能经常听到了。 参考答案 Ⅰ.1~5 CDDBC Ⅱ.A)6.beach7.relatives8.test 9.week 10.accident B)11.mixed,mixture 12.Their,them 13.died,deaths 14.Without 15.high,height Ⅲ.16.What did you do over the weekend? 17.I studied for the science test in the morning. 18.We did not finish our homework. 19.How was your weekend? 20.Did you see the interesting talk show?
