A

Making choices is necessary, but not always easy. Many of our expressions tell about this difficulty.

One of these expressions is “Hobson’s choice”. It is often used to describe a difficult choice. But that is not what it really means. Its real meaning is to have no choice at all. The Hobson in the expression was Thomas Hobson. Mr. Hobson owned many horses in Cambridge. Mr. Hobson often rented his horses to the students at Cambridge University. But he didn’t really trust them to take good care of the horses. So, he had a rule that prevented the students from riding his best horses. They could take the horse that was nearest the stable door. Or, they could not take any horse at all. Thus, a Hobson’s choice was really no choice.

Another expression for having no real choice is “between a rock and a hard place”. It is often used to describe a difficult situation with few choices —none of them is good. For example, your boss may ask you to work late. But you have plans to go to a movie with your friends. If you refuse to work, your boss may get angry. But if you do not go to the movies with your friends, they may get angry. So what do you do? You are “caught between a rock and a hard place”.

Another expression — “between the devil and the deep blue sea” — also gives you a choice between two equally dangerous things. Its meaning seems clear. You can choose the devil and his burning fires of hell. Or, you can choose to drown in the sea. Some experts in lexicology (词汇学) say the expression comes from the days of wooden ships. The “devil” is a word for a seam between two pieces of wood along the waterline of a ship. If the seam or crack between the two pieces of wood begins to leak (漏), then a sailor must fix it. The sailor ordered to make the repairs was in a dangerous situation. He was hung over the side of the ship, working “between the devil and the deep blue sea”.

There is still another expression that describes a situation with only bad choices — “on the horns of a dilemma” (左右为难). The dictionary says a dilemma is a situation in which you must make a decision between two equally balanced choices. When your dilemma has horns (角), making a choice becomes impossible. When you are “on the horns of a dilemma”, no matter which horn you choose, something bad will happen.

36. We could learn from Mr. Hobson’s story that he       .

A. wanted to teach the students a lesson

B. liked to make things difficult for the students

C. didn’t permit the students to ride his best horses

D. didn’t know the students were good at riding horses

A. have no choice but to wait and see

A. the line where two pieces of wood meet

B. the piece of wood which begins to leak

B

In the 1700s, a scientist was someone who thought about the way things work and tried to find out ways to make things work better. Today, that definition (定义) is still true. Every time Ben Franklin saw a question and tried to answer it, he was a scientist. Ben is most famous for his questions about electricity, but he also experimented with many other ideas in nature.

In 1743, Ben observed that northeast storms begin in the southwest. He thought it was strange that storms travel in an opposite direction to their winds. He predicted that a storm’s course could be charted (绘制). Ben rode a horse through a storm and chased a whirlwind three-quarters of a mile in order to learn more about storms. So, in a way, Ben was a weatherman too!

Since Ben spent so much time sailing to Europe across the Atlantic Ocean, he became very interested in both ocean currents and shipbuilding. Ben was actually one of the first people to chart the Gulf Stream.

In November of 1783, Ben happened to be in Paris, France working on a peace treaty (条约) to end the American war against England. From his hotel window, he was able to watch the world’s first known hot-air balloon flight. The balloon lifted the Montgolfier brothers off the ground as the first human beings ever known to fly. Ben was very interested in the idea of flight, predicting that one day balloons would be used for military (军事的) spy flights and dropping bombs during battle. Soon, balloons were actually being used for entertainment, military, and scientific purposes. Even though they could not yet be steered, many people volunteered to take a ride just for fun! Sadly, Ben Franklin died three years before the first American hot-air balloon voyage. In 1793, Jean-Pierre Blanchard lifted off from the Walnut Street Prison Yard in Philadelphia, beginning the hot-air balloon craze in America.

41. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Ben Franklin was a true scientist.

B. Ben Franklin could hardly be called a scientist.

C. Ben Franklin was most interested in electricity.

D. Ben Franklin was only interested in things in nature.
