問題詳情:
I have a new hero. It is G. M. Hennen. I found him in the old newspapers as I was doing my research for the column A Look Back in History.
In 1958, he retired as a newspaper carrier from the Sherman Herald Democrat. He was 77 years old and had delivered four million copies of the Democrat. He had gone through 17 automobiles and had thrown on average 400 newspapers a day, six days a week. He drove 100 miles a day, including the day he collected.
Before he was a newspaper carrier, he was also a teacher and a construction worker.
He opened the first motor delivery route in the newspaper’s history. Driving a Model T Ford, his route consisted of Pottsboro, Gordonville, Sadler and Southmayd. Before he started in delivery, he solicited(徵求) subscriptions(訂閱) riding horseback over the county.
Mr. Hennen had only one wreck in 30 years. The car spun(疾駛) out of control and flipped on its top. That didn’t stop him. A man with a truck used a tow rope to flip the car back over and tied the doors shut, leaving Mr. Hennen to continue on his way. Now that was determination!
Mr. Hennen told of the time his headlights went out as he was delivering newspapers. He borrowed a kerosene lantern(煤油燈) from a farmer to light the way and continued his route.
What a story! I complain when I have to drive to work when it is snowing, and I only have to travel three miles. I could never be that tough.
43. What does the underlined word “wreck” mean according to the fifth paragraph?
A. Luck. B. Success.
C. Failure. D. Accident.
44. What do we learn from the underlined sentence?
A. Mr. Hennen was a successful worker. B. Mr. Hennen was devoted to his job.
C. Mr. Hennen was not afraid of death. D. Mr. Hennen was silly.
45. What is the main idea of the text?
