A

(2017·安徽合肥高三第二次教学质量检测)

Susan Brownell Anthony was a lady ahead of her time. She fought for women’s rights

long before they became a popular issue.

Susan was born on February 15, 1820, in Adams,Massachusetts. At that time,

women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman

belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers.

Women could not vote.

At the age of 15, Susan became a schoolteacher. She taught for 15 years. Then

she began organizing women’s groups to promote causes that were important to women.

She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women

possession of their earnings.

After the Civil War, Susan became very involved in the women’s suffrage movement.

After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some

parts

of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first

state was Wyoming in 1869. Other areas and states gradually followed Wyoming’s

decision. It was not until 1920 that the U.S. Constitution was changed to give all

women voting rights.

Susan Brownell Anthony died in 1906 at the age of 86. She was elected to the Hall

of Fame for Great Americans in 1950. She was the first American woman to have a

likeness(肖像) of her face on a coin. It was the 1979 Susan Brownell Anthony dollar.

(2015·南宁第二次适应性考试)

A teenager has published a study suggesting the federal government could save

millions of dollars a year in printing costs by switching to a thinner font(字体) that

uses less ink. 路漫漫其修远兮,吾将上下而求索 - 百度文库

3 Suvir Mirchandani,14,who lives in the Township of O’Hara,said he noticed there

were plenty of talks at school about saving paper and he wondered about saving ink.Suvir

said on Friday that the idea began when he was in middle school and he noticed that

some teachers used heavier fonts for printing.He said he was already interested in

graphic (印刷的) design and used a software program to estimate how much ink different

fonts used.

He expanded the study to look at potential savings by the federal government,and a new essay on his research was published this month in the Journal of Emerging

Investigators,a peer­reviewed journal designed for creative middle and high school

students.He found that the Office of Management and Budget had already estimated that

federal agencies would spend about $ 1.8 billion in printing for this year and that

ink was more expensive than paper on a per­page basis.

In his essay,“A Simple Printing Solution to Aid Deficit Reduction”,Suvir analyzed

five documents produced by five U.ernment agencies and estimated how much ink

would be used with four fonts: Garamond,Verdana,Times New Roman and Century Gothic.The

analysis estimated that using 12­point Garamond would save most,about 29 percent

in ink costs.

Suvir said his school district looked at the idea but hasn’t been able to take

the switch.“It didn’t really catch on,”he said,“I understand it’s hard to make

the change.”

1.In Suvir’s opinion,how can the federal government save printing costs?

A.By saving paper.
