When Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer in
rural Illinois, he and a certain judge in town once got to bantering with
one another about horse trading. The upshot of the discussion was that they
agreed that the next morning, at nine o’clock, they would meet in front of the
general store and make a trade. Each would bring a horse, unseen by anyone up to
that hour. If either backed out of the deal, he would forfeit $ 25. The money
from each man was held by the local banker.
The next morning, at
the appointed hour, the Judge, came up the dirt road, leading the sorriest
looking specimen of a horse ever seen in those parts of Illinois. The large
crowd viewing the spectacle burst out laughing, already knowing that Abe Lincoln
was bound to get the worst of the deal. A poorer horse just couldn’t exist
anywhere and still be walking.
A. singing
B. insulting
C. joking
D. deceiving

Where was Abraham Lincoln born
[单项选择] Abraham Lincoln On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criti- cism of President, Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere. It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Li A. very critical B. unpopular C. very popular D. very courteous
[单项选择]
President Abraham Lincoln often visited hospitals to talk with wounded soldiers during the Civil War. Once, doctors pointed out a young soldier who was near death and Lincoln went over to his bedside.
"Is there anything I can do for you7" asked the President.
The soldier obviously didn’t recognize Lincoln, and with some effort he was able to whisper. "Would you please write a letter to my mother"
A pen and paper were provided and the President carefully began writing down what the young man was able to say:
"My dearest mother, 1 was badly hurt while doing my duty. I’m afraid I’m not going to recover. Don’t grieve (悲伤) too much for me, please. Kiss Mary and John for me. May God bless you and father."
The soldier was too weak to continue, so Lincoln signed the letter for him and added, "written for your son by Abraham Lincoln."
The young man asked to see the note and was
A. Because he wanted to let the mother remember him.
B. Because he wanted people to know he was the president.
C. Because he wanted to show his thanks and kindness to the mother.
D. Because he wanted to encourage the young soldier.
