Mr. Jones was very angry with his wife, and she was very angry with her husband.
(21) several days they didn’t speak (22) each other at all. One evening Mr. Jones was very (23) when he came back (24) work, so he went to bed (25) after dinner. Of course, he didn’t say (26) to Mrs. Jones before he went up stairs. Mrs. Jones washed the dinner (27) and then did some sewing. When she went up to bed (28) later than her husband, she found a piece of paper on the small table (29) her bed. On it were the words "Mother. Wake me (30) at 7 a.m. --Father."
When Mr. Jones woke up the next morning, it was nearly 8 a.m. and on the small table near his bed he saw another piece of paper. He took it and read these words: "Father. Wake up. It is 7 a.m. --Mother."

Passage Three
The railroad industry could not have grown as large as it did without steel. The first rails were made of iron. But iron rails were not strong enough to support heavy trains running at high speeds. Railroad executives wanted to replace them with steel rails because steel was ten or fifteen times stronger and lasted twenty times longer. Before the 1870’s, however, steel was too expensive to be widely used. It was made by a slow and expensive process of heating, stirring and reheating iron ore.
Then the inventor Henry Bessemer discovered that directing a blast of air at melted iron in a furnace would burn out the impurities that made the iron brittle. As the air shot through the furnace, the bubbling metal would erupt in showers of sparks. When the fire cooled, the metal had been changed, or converted to steel. The Bessemer converter made possible the mass production of steel. Now three to five tons of iron could be changed into steel in a matter of minutes.
Just when the demand for more and more steel developed, prospectors discovered huge new deposits of iron ore in the Mesabi Range, a 120 long region in Minnesota near Lake Superior. The Mesabi deposits were so near the surface that they could be mined with steam shovels.
Barges and steamers carried the iron ore through Lake Superior to depots on the southern shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. With dizzying speed Gary, Indiana, and Toledo, Youngstown, and Cleveland, Ohio, became major steel manufacturing centers. Pittsburgh was the greatest steel city of ail.
Steel was the basic building material of the industrial age. Production skyrocketed from seventy seven thousand tons in 1870 to over eleven million tons in 1900.
A:In Pittsburgh. B:In the Mesabi Range. C:Near Lake Michigan. D:Near Lake Erie.
