10.History is a record of what has happened in the past.(36)C The really fascinating thing is that much of history has been repeated time and again.It allows us to learn from the past,both the mistakes made and the successes achieved.
One of the benefits of history is reading how other people both famous and totally unknown have overcome tremendous challenges in their life.These challenges,although particular to a person,or to a certain time in the past,or occurring in a different country or culture,all convey the same thing.(37)E
(38)B He encountered many failures while on the road to finally inventing the modern day light bulb.He could be held out as an example of a person who never gave up.(39)D However,he did not let those failures stop him.He had a dream and he just kept trying different things until he did reach success.
Or,consider the story of Abraham Lincoln who managed to become President of the United States even though he suffered many setbacks and personal losses.Most of us only realize the success of Mr.Lincoln becoming President.(40)F His life was not an easy one.His story is one that motivates us to keep moving forward no matter what obstacles we have in life.

A.History has a lot of influence on us.
B.Take for example the story of Thomas Edison.
C.History has some very unique qualities about it.
D.I am sure he was discouraged by his many failures.
E.They convey wisdom in their short stories of perseverance.
F.Few of us knew about the many challenges he had to overcome.
G.Only those with courage to face challenges can hope to live their dreams.

Is it fair for restaurants to ban little eaters? In Monronroeville, a local restaurant, McDain’s, recently decided to ban young children. Alice Roseman, its manager, says kids have bad manners and make too much noise. Other people, however, say the rule is hard to accept. Since it has become a hot topic in public, we caught several local people talking about it.

YES

There is no law stopping restaurants from banning young children. Restaurant owners should be allowed to ban them. Kids often run around and cause problems for waiters and other customers.

----Kate Barker

Kids always cause a mess, but the parents refuse to do anything about their kids’ behaviors. Although kids may be at the center of their parents’ universe, they aren’t at the center of everyone else’s.

------Mike Vuick

Adults sometimes want to talk and enjoy their dinner, but they can’t if a child is crying and running all over the place. That’s why sometimes parents don’t like eating at home. They wish they could have a good meal in the restaurants without kids’ noise.

------Dale Levitsky

NO

Banning kids from restaurants is a bad idea. If kids were banned, many restaurants would lose business. Even if restaurants gave customers the chance to buy take-away meals for their kids, many families would probably still not eat there.

--------Nicholas Song

Restaurants owners who ban kids think all children are wild and rude. But that’s not true. Most children’s eating behaviors are good enough. Even though some kids do have bad manners, banning is not a right way to teach them. I think how a society treats its children is important. After all, all kids are people, too.

-------Elliott Hall

A. Not all kids have bad behaviors.

Adele Geras's moving story Out In The Dark was set in World War I,in which young Rob came back from the battlefields.Determined to find the officer's widow to return the photo of her and their daughter that the captain kept with him,he traveled several thousand miles but never gave up.
Dead Man Talking is a fantastic tale of Pat,who had a terrible fight with his best friend,Joe,ten years ago--but now hears that Joe is dead,and he must attend his funeral.But Joe is not going quietly that very night--he's lying in his coffin being very chatty indeed.
