On February 3rd，1949，New York Harbor was an exciting place. Many people were there to greet a ship from France. On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars （貨車(chē)車(chē)廂） filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America. These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train （Merci： a French word means “thank you”）.

After World War II， a lot of factories， roads and farms in France had been destroyed. Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat. In the winter of 1947， a train was sent across the United States， stopping in cities and towns along the way. At every stop， people gave whatever they could. Factories gave clothing and medicine. Farmers gave food. Families gave money. Even school children gave away their pocket money. All the things were then taken to France by ship.

By 1949， the French had begun to recover （恢復(fù)） from the war. The Merci Train was their way of saying “thank you” to America. French people had filled the boxcars with gifts. Most of them were personal， like hand-made toys， children’s drawings， or postcards. But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts. On each car， the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces with an American eagle on the front. The boxcars were taken to each state of America， where they were warmly greeted.

Now many of the states still keep their boxcars. Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums. The Merci Train came out of the war， but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace.

A. They carried many French gifts.

B. They were helpful in the development of the America.

C. They were the first boxcars after World War II.

D. They showed the friendship between the two countries.

（ ） 24. The underlinedword “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to （指的是） ___ .

A. the American peopleB. the French people

閱讀下面短文，并按照題目要求回答問(wèn)題。

Many years ago， there was a family named Franklin. They lived in Boston. There were five girls and six boys in the family. On a January day in 1706， another baby was born. The boy’s mother and her husband gave the boy a name—Benjamin.

Benjamin was the cleverest of all the children. He could read when he was five and he could write when he was seven. The next year his parents sent him to school.

In school Benjamin was good at reading and writing， but not good at math. He read all of his father’s books. And when he had money， he always went to buy books. He liked books. They told him how to do something. The boy liked to use his head and tried to find ways to help people enjoy life more. For example， he tried to know if there was some way to swim farther， maybe with something on his hands or feet. Slowly a picture of swimming shoes， or paddles， grew in his mind. The paddles must be neither too big nor too small. And they must be neither too heavy nor light. At last he invented the paddle for swimming.

56. How many children did Mr Franklin have？

57. Why did the writer say Benjamin was clever？

58. How old was Benjamin when he went to school？

59. Why did Benjamin like books？

60. What did Benjamin invent the paddles for？
