Passage Three

Nine-year-old Louis Pasteur rushed into the little house, his face white.

"Mother!" he cried, "A mad dog has bitten my friend Henry, and now they are burning him with red-hot irons. It's terrible!"

"Rabies(狂犬病), Louis. Burning the bites is the only hope of stopping Henry from catching the disease."

Henry did get rabies and died, in great pain, some days later. Louis Pasteur never forgot that. "One day," he thought, "I must do something to help people like Henry."

Sixteen years later Pasteur became a Doctor of Science. Arid he began making important discoveries in his special field.

Pasteur achieved great success in his life. But during the years of research he lost the use of his left arm and leg. Yet he worked on and on, as hard as ever, as he was eager to find a way for curing rabies. He never forgot his friend Henry.

After many dangerous experiments on mad dogs, he finally found the answer. Just then a boy who had been badly bitten by a mad dog arrived at his lab. A few days after Pasteur's treatment the boy got better. He did not catch rabies.

The discovery gave new hope to people in many countries. People sent money to help build the Pasteur Institute in Paris. Today it is one the world's most famous centers for research.

44. Pasteur became a Doctor of Science. Doctor of science here means______.

A. a degree which is the highest in science

B. a person who works in the lab

C. a post in science

D. someone whose job is to make sick people well again

Finding a Job
At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school,but the future called to him excitedly.“Get out of the classroom into a job,”it said,and Ron obeyed.His father,supporting the dcci-sion,found a place for him in a supermarket.“You're lucky,Ron,”he said.“For every boy with a job these days,there's a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.
For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food.By the end of that time he was looking back on his school days as a time of great variety and satisfaction.He searched for an in-terest in his work,with little success.
One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south.With nine pounds in his pocket,a full heart and a great longing for the sea,he set out to make a better way for him-self. That evening,in Bournemouth,he had a sandwich and a drink in a cafe run by an elderly man and his wife.Before he had finished the sandwich,the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer,at twenty pounds a week,a room upstairs and three meals a day.The ease and speed of it rather took Ron's breath away.At quiet times Ron had to check the old man's arithme- tic in the records of the business.
At the end of the season,he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living.He worked in shops mostly,but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks.Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there;he was the only one who could keep the books.

Why did Ron leave the supermarket?
A: He knew he would find work in Bournemouth.
B: He took a job as a lorry driver.
C: He gave up the job because he felt unwell.
D: He wanted to work at the seaside.

答案：D

解析：

本文第一段的第一句说到：罗恩（Ron）感到未来在向他召唤：“走出教室，找个工作”，于是他们遵从了这一召唤。因此我们可以了解到是他自己想要开始工作。
根据本文第一段，他的父亲支持这一决定，并帮助罗恩找到了一份工作。由此我们对父亲的态度是很明确的。
本文第二段提到罗恩对学校生活的留恋，想要提高自己对目前工作的兴趣未果。由此可以判断出他认为超市的工作枯燥(dull) 。
第三段说罗恩“longing for the sea”（向往大海），因此他是想在海边找个工作的。应注意C选项中的“unwell”指身体不舒服、有病，因而不选。
根据上下文判断词汇含义。此题关键在于对“keep the books”的理解，这里指罗恩负责打理鞋店的生意，因为只有他懂得如何管理账目。而选项B中的accounts即是账目的意思。
