Books which give instructions on how to do things are very popular in the United States
today. Thousands of these How-to books are useful: in fact, there are about four thousand
books with titles that begin with the words “ How to”. One book, may tell you how to earn more
money, another may tell you how to save or spend it, and another may explain how to give your
money away.
Many How-to books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a career and how to
succeed in it. If you fail, however, you can buy the book “ How to Turn Failure into Success”. If
you would like to become very rich, you can buy the book “ How to Make a Millionaire”. If you
never make any money at all, you may need a book called “ How to Live on Nothing”.
One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal problems. If you
want to have a better love of life, you can read “ How to Succeed in Love every Minute of Your
Life”. If you tired of books on happiness, you may prefer books which give step-by-step
instructions on how to redecorate or enlarge a house.

solve. How-to books help people deal with modern life.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A ,B ,C ,D on your answer question to

The national Automobiles Show in newyork has been one of the top auto shows in the
United States since 1900 . On november 3 of that year , about 8,000 people looked over the “
horseless carriages .” It was the opening the day and the first opportunity for the automobile
industry to show off its wares to a large crowd; however , the black-tie audience treated the
occation more as a social affair than as a sales extravaganza .It was also on the first day of this
show that William Mckinley became the first U.S president to ride in a car.
The automobile was not invented in the Uited States .That distinction belongs to
Germany . Nikolaus Otto built the first practical internal-combustion engine there in 1876
.Then , German engineer Karl Benz built what are regardes as the first modern automoniles in

the mid-1880s. But the United States pioneered the merchandising of the automobile.The auto
show proved to be an effective means of getting the public excited about automotive products .
By happenstance , the number of people at the first New York show equaled the
entire car population of the United States at that time .In 1900, 10 million bicycles and an
unkown number of horse-drawn carriages provided the prime means of personal
transportation. Only a quarter of those were gasoline powered .The rest ran on steam or
electriccity .
After viewing the cars made by forty car makers , the show’s audience favored
electric cars because they were quite . The risk of a boiler turned people away from steamers
and the gasoline-powered cars produced smelly fumes . The Duryes Motor Wagon Company ,
which launched the amarican auto industry in 1895 , offerd a fragrant additive designed to
mask the smells of the naphtha that it burned.Many of the 1900 models were cumbersome –
the Gasmoble , the Franklin , and thr Orient , for example , steered with a tiller like a boat
instead of with a steering wheel .None of them was equipped with an automatic starter.
These early model cars were practically handmade and were not very dependable .
They were basically toys of the well-to-do . in fact,Woodrow Wilson , then a professor at
Princeton University and later President of the United States, pridicted that automobiles would
cause conflict between the wealthy and the poor. However , among the exhibitors at the 1900
show was young engineer named Henry Ford .But before the end of the decade , he would
revolutionize the automobile industry with his Model T Ford . The Model T ,first produced in


1909 ,featured a standardized design and a streamlined method of production –the assembly
lone .Its lower costs made it available to the mass market.
Cars at the 1900 show ranged in price from $1,000 to $1,500 , or roughly $14,000 to
$21,000 in today’s prices .By 1913 , the Model T was selling for less than $300 , and soon the
price would drop even further . “ I will build cars for the multitides .” Ford said , and he kept his
promise .
13 The passage implies that the audience viewsd the 1900 National Automobile Show
primarily as a(n)_____________

A chance to buy automobiles at low price
B. formal occation
C. opportunity to learn how to drive
