It was 1912, and Albert Berry and the Benist Aircraft Cmpany were trying t make histry by perfrming the first parachute (降落伞) jump frm an airplane. The cmpany chse Jeffersn Barracks, a U.S. military pst (哨所), as the landing site s Benist culd shw pssible military uses fr the parachutes.
Tm Benist and thers at the cmpany had been planning the jump fr mnths, but there were a few challenges t meet. Back then, parachutes were nt put in backpacks as they are tday. They were kept lse. A parachute culd easily get caught up in the plane. T slve this prblem, Tm Benist and pilt Tny Jannus designed a special cne-shaped (圆锥形的) device that was attached belw the plane t hld the parachute in place. Anther challenge was wrking ut what wuld happen t the plane when smene jumped ut. Many believed a sudden lss f weight wuld cause the plane t g ut f cntrl. Jannus and Berry experimented by repeatedly drpping heavy tls with parachutes. They were happy t discver that the plane still stayed n curse.
On March 1, Jannus flew Berry tward Jeffersn Barracks. The fficer f the pst, Clnel W. T. Wd, received a call that the plane was n its way. Sn, the plane came int sight. Sldiers rushed nt the grunds t watch.
Berry lwered himself int a harness device that was attached t the bttm f the plane and the parachute. He pulled ut a knife and cut the cnnectin between the plane and the harness. Then he fell backward t clear the landing gear (起落架). His bdy weight caused the parachute, fastened with rubber bands, t break away frm the cne. Berry separated frm the plane. His bdy started turning smersaults (空翻). He fell several hundred feet befre his parachute finally pened. Berry finally landed perfectly behind the sldiers' dining hall.
Immediately, sldiers started talking abut hw parachutes culd be used in war and hw sldiers culd be drpped nt battlegrunds t surprise the enemy. Sn, parachutes were used by the military.
Tday, parachuting is a sprt enjyed by many peple. And it all began thanks t the achievement f Tny Jannus and Albert Berry.

主题语境：人与自我——做人与做事
本文是记叙文。文章讲述了网页设计师Ben Blumenfeld如何将个人价值追求和职业规划结合起来的故事。
41. B。由上文中的Ben Blumenfeld is a web designer及wrk fr a big TV netwrk可知，Ben是一名网页设计师，故可推断其在大型电视网络公司的工作是为主要的节目设计“网页（websites）”。
42. D。由本句中的He ever made a breakthrugh及great grwth in the audience fr a TV shw可推断，此处需要填一个表示因果关系的词，故led t（导致）符合语境，意为“他取得的突破导致一档节目的观众量猛增”。
43. A。44. B。由上文中的Hwever可推断，接下来应该叙述收视率增长这一事件不好的方面。结合常识，越来越多的人花费更多的时间看电视“绝不（never）”是一件好事。沉迷于电视屏幕的人总是在现实生活中“成就（achieved）”更少的事情。
45. C。46. A。由上文可知，Ben在工作上取得成就的同时为社会带来了一定的负面影响。所以，从那时起，他“不再（stpped）”把自己的职业和对自身而言很“重要的（imprtant）”价值追求看成彼此孤立的存在。
47. C。由上文可知，Ben不想因为自己的工作影响社会的发展。他总是希望能为他的社区带来一些“好的（gd）”东西，但是他现在的日常工作却违背了这一初衷。
48. A。由上文中的his day-t-day wrk just went against that可推断，Ben意识到是时候换一份新的并且能把他的希望和职业结合起来的“工作（jb）”了。
49. B。结合上下文及本句中的frm Jeff Hammerbacher, a manager f a scial netwrking startup可推断，一天，他收到了一份工作“邀请（invitatin）”。
50. C。51. D。结合上文中提到的Ben有自己的价值追求及文中的the CEO — Mark Zuckerberg — tld Ben that what they did wuld influence the very way the human race可知，在与Mark Zuckerberg的谈话中，Ben提到了他想做一些真正“有意义的（meaningful）”工作，而Mark Zuckerberg说他们将要做的事情会影响整个人类之间的“交流（cmmunicated）”方式，将世界紧密地联系到一起。
52. B。由上文中的Attracted by the great expectatin及下文中的When he began t wrk there可知，Ben “决定（decided）”加入他们。
53. A。由本句中的When he began t wrk there和its influence was even bigger than he thught可知，当Ben去了新公司（Facebk）工作以后，他“发现（fund）”这家公司的影响力超出他的想象。
54. C。由上文中的a scial netwrking startup with 8 millin student users可知，Ben的新公司有数百万用户，故他在这里工作时设计的东西会被数百万人“使用（used）”。
55. A。由上文及本句中的t stay true t his gal f making a difference in his cmmunity, even the wrld可知，这种将许多人联系起来的能力给了Ben一个巨大的“机会（chance）”去忠于自己为社区甚至为世界做贡献的目标。
