黃金閱讀第28篇 William Smith
第一段
In 1769 in a little town in Oxfordshire, England, a child with the very
ordinary name of William Smith was born into the poor family of a village
blacksmith. He received rudimentary village schooling but mostly he roamed
his uncle's farm collecting the fossils that were so abundant in the rocks of
the Costwold hills. When he grew older William Smith taught himself surveying
from books he bought with his small savings and at the age of eighteen he was
apprenticed to a surveyor of the local parish. He then proceeded to teach
himself geology and when he was twenty-four, he went to work for the company
that was excavating the Somerset Coal Canal in the south of England.

Smith is NOT true?
A) Smith learned surveying by reading and by apprenticing for a local surveyor.
B) Smith's family lived in a small English town and possessed little wealth.
C) Smith learned about fossils from books he borrowed from his uncle.
D) Smith eventually left his village to work on the excavation of an English
canal.
