Benjamin Franklin was a great man with many talents. He was a writer, scientist, inventor, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He lived in the 18th century and became one of the most famous people in that period.
From a young age, Franklin's great love of learning set him apart from many others. He was always sitting aside reading books while other children were always busy playing. As one of 17 children in a big family, Franklin had only two years of education before he had to start work to support his family. While working in his brother's print shop, Franklin taught himself by reading a lot. He often borrowed books from booksellers and stayed up late at night so that he could return them early the next day.
Curious about the world around him, Franklin once became interested in studying storms. He followed the storms closely and did many careful tests outdoors. Then he found out that storms moved from one place to another with certain rules. His findings and research helped people better predict the weather, which was very useful for farmers and sailors at that time.
What's more, Franklin had a great love for science, so his countless inventions came as no surprise. Even in his late 70s, he invented a type of special glasses to help him see better.
Franklin did not make money from any of his inventions but let people use them for free. His greatness goes further than that. As a lifelong learner, he saw learning as an exciting and endless journey, full of wonder and success. He never stopped learning and exploring, no matter how old he was. This spirit of lifelong learning is his greatest gift to the world, encouraging people of all ages to keep curious and keep learning.

做这类英语阅读理解题，需先明确题目类型（细节理解、推理判断、主旨大意等），再根据题目关键词定位原文对应段落，对比选项与原文信息，排除错误选项得出答案。比如28题是细节理解，需找“熬夜”的原因；29题是第三段的推理，要结合段落内容判断；30题是整体理解，需看全文对富兰克林的描述；31题是主旨题，要找贯穿全文的核心内容。
【解析】
28. 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“He often borrowed books from booksellers and stayed up late at night so that he could return them early the next day.”可知，富兰克林熬夜是为了第二天早点归还借来的书，故选D。
29. 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“His findings and research helped people better predict the weather”可知，富兰克林对风暴的研究成果帮助人们更好地预测天气，即他的试验使天气预测成为可能，C项正确；A项原文是帮助人们更好预测，而非他擅长预测；B项未提及；D项与原文“storms moved from one place to another with certain rules”不符，故选C。
30. 细节理解题。根据第一段“He was a writer, scientist, inventor, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States”可知，富兰克林在多个领域有才华，C项正确；A项原文提到他仅接受两年教育，并非打工付学费；B项原文说他没从发明赚钱；D项原文提到他从未停止学习，故选C。
31. 主旨大意题。全文围绕富兰克林的经历，最后一段强调他终身学习的精神是最大的礼物，核心是“终身学习者”，B项正确；A项仅涉及科学家，片面；C项未讲家庭生活；D项仅涉及发明，片面，故选B。
