His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goo ds to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.” （词数268）45.Frank took a short business course in order to ____________.A．earn more money for his family B．learn something from a salesmanC．get away from the farm D．get enough to eat.46.Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because _____________.A．he cut down the price by halfB．he knew how to get people to buy his goods.C．he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way.D．the sign he put on the table was well designed.47._____________make Woolworth a world-famous man.A．His business skills and his wealth.

Japan. Some sports historians believe that the game of soccer began in England in the third century, however. They say that early English warriors（武士）kicked around the head of a killed enemy. This may or may not be true, hut it is certain that soccer is an ancient sport.Without doubt, the English played soccer during the times of King Edward I in the 1300s. In fact, the king passed a law against playing it. The law said, "There is great noise ... caused by kicking large balls from which many ghosts may appear." Anyone caught playing soccer at that time was put into prison. Two hundred years later, Queen Elizabeth I still had people put into prison for playing this "vulgar" sport.Although there were such laws, soccer grew more popular. In 1681 it became an official(正式的) sport in England. By the 1800s, people throughout the country played soccer. By the 18th century, upper-class boys played it at schools. Its popularity grew among all English people.At a meeting held in an English school in 1843, the first rules were suggested. In 1863 the heads of English soccer teams met in London to agree on some official rules. They organized an English football association（协会）. By 1871 all of the English clubs were following these rules. Today all soccer teams play by them.Soccer is called "football" everywhere but in the United States. The game is played mostly with feet. No players except the goalie (守门员) may touch the ball with their hands. They may control the ball with any part of the body except their hands.Soccer is by far the world's most popular sport. Every four years, nearly every country in the world fights for the World Cup. Tens of billions of soccer fans from around the world watch the World Cup on television.51.

A proverb is a short, well known saying that expresses a common truth or belief. Proverbs are popular around the world.Many listeners have sent us their favorite proverbs. They give advice about how to live.We begin with two popular proverbs about staying healthy by eating good food: One is an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Another is you are what you eat. (1)Several proverbs about birds also give advice. You may have heard this one: The early bird catches the worm. This means a person who gets up early, or acts quickly, has the best chance of success.Another famous proverb is a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. This means you should not risk losing something you have by seeking something that is not guaranteed.Here is another piece of advice: Do not count your chickens before they are hatched. (2) In other words, you should not think too much about some future event before it really happens.Another proverb warns do not put all your eggs in one basket. (3)Many Americans learned this the hard way by investing all their money in stock shares, which then lost value.Another proverb says a fool and his money are soon parted. This means someone who acts unwisely with money will lose it.Here is more advice: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Also, never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.You might learn that haste makes waste if you do something so fast, resulting in mistakes. Most people would agree with this proverb: honesty is the best policy. (4)Yet another proverb advises us not to be concerned about something bad that you cannot change. It says there is no use crying over spilled milk.Do you agree with the proverb that children should be seen and not heard?Maybe you have told your children that hard work never hurt anyone. But other people say that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. They believe it is not wise to spend all your time working and never having fun.Finally, here is one of our favorite proverbs: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. This means you should not criticize other people unless you are perfect yourself.(MUSIC)This VOA Special English program was written by Shelley Gollust.
