听力原文：Robert Goddard, American physicist and rocket scientist, once said that the dream

听力原文： Robert Goddard, American physicist and rocket scientist, once said that the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow. It was his scientific work that gave hope to many of our dreams about space and then turned them into reality.

Robert Goddard's many studies and tests in the early 1900s led to the first rocket. Then he developed rockets with more than one engine. Each engine pushed the rocket higher and higher out of Earth's atmosphere. His ideas are still used today.So, in a way, every rocket that flies today is a Goddard rocket.

Robert Goddard was far ahead of his time. He developed and flew many rockets that got their power from solid fuels. Then, in 1925, he made and tested the first rocket engine using a soft chemical fuel. In 1926, he successfully fired the world's first liquid-fuel rocket.

Robert Goddard died in 1945 of cancer. He was sixty-three years old. He received a special honor many years after his death. In 1959, the United States established the Goddard Space Flight Center near Washington, D.C. The Goddard Space Flight Center honors the man whose work proved that machines could travel out of Earth's atmosphere, into space.

(23)

A．An airplane designer.

B．A science fiction writer.

C．The inventor of rockets.

D．A famous theoretical physicist.

短文翻译（英译汉)When I was nine years old living in a small town in North Carolina I fou

短文翻译(英译汉)

When I was nine years old living in a small town in North Carolina I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back of a children’s magazine. I thought to myself I can do this. I begged my mother to let me send for the kit. Two weeks later when the kit arrived, I ripped off the brown paper wrapper, grabbed the cards and dashed from the house. Three hours later, I returned home with no card and a pocket full of money proclaiming “Mama, all the people couldn’t wait to buy my cards!” A salesperson was born.

When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Ziegler. I remember sitting in that dark auditorium listening to Mr. Ziegler raise everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling, I left there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to make people feel like that.” My father asked me what I meant, “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Ziegler.” I replied. A dream was born.

Robert Spring, a 19th century forger（伪造者), did well in his job that he was able to make

Robert Spring, a 19th century forger(伪造者), did well in his job that he was able to make his living for 15 years by. selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some money by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs(亲笔签名). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating(模仿)signatures of George Washington and Ben' Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To reduce the chance of detection, he sent his forgeries(焦造品)to England and Canada for sale.

Forgers have a difficult time selling their products. A forger can't go to a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don't have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their works look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they treat paper and ink with chemicals.

After the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so, Spring invented a respectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General" Stone Wall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny's financial (财政的)problems forced her to sell a great number of letters belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring dying in poverty.

Why did Spring sell his false autographs in England and Canada？

A．There was a greater demand there than in America.

B．There was less chance of being discovered there.

C．Britain was Spring's birthplace.

D．The prices were higher in England and Canada.
