第五节 阅读理解

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

Jose Hernandez made his dream of becoming an astronaut a reality and he did so despite unbelievable difficulties.

“I was working in a field near Stockton, and I heard on my radio that Franklin Chang-Diaz had been selected for the Astronaut Corps,” said Jose, who was a senior in high school at the time. “I was already interested in science and engineering,” Jose remembered, “but that was the moment I said, ‘I want to fly in space.’”

As one of four children in a migrant (移民) farming family from Mexico, Jose — who didn’t learn English until he was 12 years old — spent much of his childhood traveling with his family from Mexico to southern California each March, then working northward to the Stockton area by November, picking strawberries and cucumbers at farms along the route. They would then return to Mexico for Christmas and start the cycle all over again in the spring. “Some kids might think it would be fun to travel like that,” Jose laughed, “but we had to work”.

After graduating from high school, Jose was admitted into the University of the Pacific. In 1987, he accepted a full-time job with Lawrence National Laboratory. In 2001, Jose joined the Johnson Space Center, where he came face-to-face with Franklin Chang-Diaz.

“We actually had common experiences — a similar upbringing, the same language issues. That built up my confidence. Any barriers that existed, he had already overcome them.” Jose smiled. “Now it’s my turn!”

“NASA rejected me not once, not twice, not three times but 11 times. It wasn’t until the 12th time that I got selected,” he said. Jose was selected as part of the 19th class of astronauts in 2004. He circled the globe 217 times but remains a down to Earth guy.

Jose Hernandez received the 2016 National Hispanic Hero Award and he continues his long history in the field of engineering and space.

1. What made Jose determined to be an astronaut?

A. The influence of Astronaut Corps.  B. His talent for science and engineering.

2. What can we learn about Jose as a child?

A. He did much farm work. B. He travelled a lot for fun.

C. He hated learning English. D. He obeyed his family in everything.

3. How did Jose feel when he met Franklin Chang-Diaz personally?

A. Inspired. B. Valued. C. Relaxed. D. Puzzled.
