只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。11.答案D解析：很快我们就来到一处村舍，故选D项。shortly意为“不久”，符合语境。12.答案C解析：从我们的冒险经历，我断定（得出结论）Beans可能一直知道回家的路，他只是喜欢探险新的路径罢了。由此语境可判断选C项。阅读理解。CarsareanimportantpartoflifeintheUnitedStates.Withoutacarmostpeoplefeelthattheyarepoor.Andevenifapersonispoorhedoesn’tfeelreallypoorwhenhehasacar.HenryFordwasthemanwhofirststartedmakingcarsinlargenumbers.Heprobablydidn’tknowhowmuchthecarwasgoingtochangeAmericanculture.ThecarmadetheUnitedStatesanationonwheels.AndithelpedmaketheUnitedStateswhatitistoday.TherearethreemainreasonswhythecarbecamesopopularintheUnitedStatesFirstofallthecountryisabigoneandAmericansliketomovearoundit.Thecarmakesthetravelthemostcomfortableandcheapest.Withacarpeoplecangotoanyplacewithoutspendingalotofmoney.ThesecondreasoncarsarepopularisthefactthattheUnitedStatesneverreallydevelopedapracticalandcheappublictravelsystem.LongdistancetrainshaveneverbeenascommonintheUnitedStatesastheyareinotherpartsoftheworld.Nowthereisagoodsystemofair-serviceprovidedbyplanes.Butitistooexpensivetobeusedoften.Thethirdreasonisthemostimportantone,though.TheAmericanspiritofindependenceiswhatreallymadecarspopular.Americansdon’tlikewaitingforabus,oratrainorevenaplane.Theydon’tliketohavetofollowanexacttimetable.Acargivesthemthefreedomtoplantheirowntime.AndthisisthefreedomthatAmericanswantmosttohave.LessoilhascausedabigproblemforAmericans.Buttheanswerwillnotbeabiggersystemofpublictransportation.Therealanswerwillhavetobeanewkindofcar,onethatdoesnotusesomuchoil.1.WhichofthefollowingstatementsisTRUE?AIntheUnitedStateseventhepoorowncars.BIntheUnitedStatesallthepoorhavenocars.CWhenanAmericanhasacar,hewillneverbepoor.7
