Unit 2 Working the land 同步练习 蚌埠二中 马爱军 1-20（略） 第一节：(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A Did you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old, and could not read until he was seven? His parents and teachers worried about his mental ability. Beethovens music teacher said about him, “As a composer (作曲家) he is hopeless.” What if this young boy had believed it?

His father said of him, “I have an idiot (白痴) for a son.” His uncle agreed. “Hes_uneducable，” he said. What if Rodin had doubted his ability? Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no “good ideas”. Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher, “You cant sing. You have no voice at all.” And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal. What if these people had listened and become discouraged? Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven, the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney? As Oscar Levant once said, “Its not what you are but what you dont become that hurts.” You have great potential. When you believe in all you can be, rather than all you cannot become, you will find your place on earth. 21．How many successful people are mentioned as examples in the passage? A．Six.
