A

When Abraham Lincoln was young, he worked in a store. One day a woman came into the store and bought some things. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.

The bill was paid, and the woman was entirely satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling

quite sure as to the accuracy of his calculations, added up the things again. To his surprise he found that it should have been but two dollars.

“ I’ve made her pay six and a quarter cents more, ”said Abe, disturbed.

It was an unimportant thing, and many clerks would have forgotten it, but Abe was too conscientious for that.

“ The money must be paid back, ”he decided.

At night, he closed the store, and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied.

Here is another story of young Lincoln’s strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young clerk weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day.

The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales. It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale of the previous night, and so, of course, given his customers short weight. I am afraid that there are many country merchants who would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out the balance of the half pound, shut up the store, and carried it to the defrauded customer. I think my young readers will begin to see that the name so often given, in later times to President Lincoln, of “Honest Old Abe, ”was well deserved. A man who begins by strict honesty in his youth is not likely to change as he grows older, and mercantile honesty is some guarantee of political honesty.

21. We know from the text that Abe .

A. charged less for the woman B. tricked the woman on purpose

C. was careful and responsible D. was confident of his calculations

22. From the underlined sentence, we can see that the author .

A. speak highly of Abraham Lincoln

B. learns how to succeed in the political field

C. comes to understand the importance of honesty

D. hopes to give readers some personal suggestions

23. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?

A. Better late than never. B. Honesty is the best policy.

C. A good name is better than gold. D. Where there is a will there is a way.

24. The author develops his idea mainly .

A. by reasoning B. by making comparisons

C. by giving examples D. by recalling what he had seen

Cotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying Coca-Cola and Pepsi, believing that the

sugar in the fizzy(有 泡 沫 的 ) drinks kills pests.

Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests, and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicals— although soft drink makers and scientists dismissed the remarks. N. Hamunayya, who has become a famous person in his village in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh, said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides. “We found that all the colas had uniform effect on pests. The pests became dead and fell to the ground, ”he said. He said the drinks had all the elements they needed : they were cheaper, sticky, fizzy, and attracted ants, which ate the young of the pests. But Thinupathi Reddy, assistant director of the Regional Agri-Research Station, Guntur, says tests had proved such results wrong. “We conducted some field trials on cotton crop at our research station. There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests, ”he says.

Statements from Pepsi and Coca-Cola said there was “ no scientific basis” for this practice. But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales. Mantan Wall, who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region, said sales rose up, thanks to the farmers. “ For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business. Instead of just 30 cases( each containing a dozen one-litre bottles) of cola, I started selling almost 200 cases, ”he said. “ We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues(残 留 ) in the cola drinks. Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers, ”he said.

In February, an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by Coca-Cola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards. The U. S firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.
