When he was 19, he built a model airplane with a real working engine that won first prize at

11、 the South Dakota State Fair. That was an especially sweet moment. Daves big brother George Merry, whod helped him build his first plane and taught him everything about tools, had died four years before. Maintaining the connection to his tools was a way for Dave to keep his brothers memory alive. An

12、d the tools built new memories too. They helped Dave, now 80, repair his home in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he and his wife, Annette Merry, lived for 46 years and raised three children. The tools were placed in his carefully organized workshop. “I had a whole set-up, and it was beautiful,” says Dave

13、. But then Annette suffered a disease that left her relying on a walker to get around and the Merrys decided to move into assisted living. Daves workshop was obviously a minor consideration given Annettes condition, but the family knew that giving it up, on top of everything else, would hurt. It was

14、 one of the Merrys friends who came up with a possible solution. Hed heard about some people who were setting up a tool library. Might Dave be interested in donating his? “I said yes,” Dave says. The people creating the St. Paul Tool Library were thrilled. They had expected it would take a year to c

15、ollect enough tools. Instead it took one day: the day Dave donated his. Members of the library pay an annual fee (from $20 to $120) for unlimited tool use and a varying number of visits to the workshop. And they get an extra benefit: Dave Merry. Dave comes as often as he can to offer his knowledge t

16、o aspiring(有抱负的) woodworks and space-challenged DIYers. “It means a lot to me to be able to go and use my tools,” he says. “But it means just as much to help somebody else use the tools properly.” 2l.

It was not a success. They found success in America, however, in computers and engineering. Because of their own e

19、xperiences, Mas parents hoped he would study to become an engineer or doctor. They wanted financial security for their child. Growing up, Ma considered many professions writer, fireman, and even president. But he had a sense early on. “I didnt want to be an engineer.” However, Ma did well in math an

20、d science classes in high school and he ended up choosing to study electrical engineering in college. Several engineering jobs later, though, Ma had a change of heart. He wanted to leave the engineering world behind and enter the restaurant business. It was in his blood. After all, his parents had o

21、wned a Chinese restaurant in Arkansas. His uncle also owned one in New York. His parents, Ma says, could not understand why he would want to leave such a good job to open a restaurant. They had worked long hours but their own restaurant still failed. They kept asking, “Why?” But Ma remained certain.

22、 He was going to do things differently than his parents. He was able to learn from their one major mistake as restaurant owners they knew very little about the art of cooking. So, at age 30, Ma left engineering and returned to school cooking school. Ma soon learned that he enjoyed cooking. In 2009,

23、Ma opened his first restaurant in Virginia. It is called Maple Avenue. At Maple Avenue, Ma cooked, cleaned the ovens, fixed equipment and paid bills. He worked long hours, seven days a week. His long hours paid off. Ma opened his fourth restaurant last year, Kyirisan in Washington, D.C. Kyirisans su

24、ccess is due to the creative menu and food, Ma says. But mostly it just comes from completely hard work. “I think in this country you can create your own success, just by working hard. Not because youre smarter than anybody, not because youre more creative than anybody, just by working hard. And I t

26、r family had found success in engineering for generations. 25. Why do a lot of people come to America? A. They can learn a lot. B. They can run their business creatively. C.

The music was going to be from Hamilton. All her best friends were coming. But there was one thing that Emily refused to invit

28、e to her party: helium(氦)balloons. The first floating balloons were filled with a gas called hydrogen(氢). But hydrogen can catch on fire and nobody wants their balloons to burst into flames in the middle of a party. So people started filling balloons with helium, a safer gas. But helium is actually

29、a rare natural gas. And it has many important uses more important than making birthday party balloons float. Helium powers medical equipment. It is also used in research and experiments. It even helps send rockets into space. To many experts and Emily, its wrong to waste an important resource on som

30、ething silly like balloons. And theres another problem with helium balloons people let go of them and watch them float into the clouds. But those balloons come back down to earth. When they do, they can be dangerous to animals. Animals can mistake the balloons for meals. Dead whales and sea turtles

31、have been found with pieces of balloon in their stomachs. Not everyone agrees that helium balloons should be banned. Only 5 to 7 percent of all helium is used in balloons. And there may be an easier way to protect animals: Keep your balloons inside, and dont let them fly away. Emily still chose to go helium-free on her birthday. Her friends were disappointed until Emily explained the reasons for her balloon ban. Then they got to eat chocolate cake and celebrate with her happily. 27. Why did Emily refuse to use helium balloons on her birthday? A. T
