 “BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回聲). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I walked around aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits(容許) it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.      
All the lights were off except father’s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret. However, after an argument he has the habit of tucking me underneath the covers (掖被子) while I am sleeping.
This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my face. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love—it’s second to none!
小題1:Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father’s kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
A．b-e-d-c-aB．b-e-c-d-aC．b-e-a-c-dD．b-e-c-a-d
小題2:What made the writer think of his childhood?
A．The sight of the street lights.
B．The sight of the empty street.
C．The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
D．The sight of light in his own house.
小題3:What can we infer about the reason why the father often shouts at his son?
A．The father is getting older and older.
B．The son has more fashionable opinions than his father.
C．They usually disagree with each other.
D．The father has got used to being a leader for long.
小題4:What conclusion（結論）can be drawn after reading the passage?
A．The father treats his son in an unfair way.
B．The father is actually kind to his son.
C．The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D．The father is always finding mistakes with his son.

When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should prove it. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong ― even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships changes as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the nature ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture(培養(yǎng)).
小題1:The “wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person _______.
A．who has been mistaken for anotherB．who has been blamed unfairly
C．who has treated friends badlyD．who has admitted his mistakes
小題2:According to the text a friendship can last long only if________.
A．we treat our disagreements wiselyB．we know our friends mistakes
C．we have much in commonD．we have known one another for long
小題3:What should we do if we follow the author’s second suggestion?
A．Stick to our own points of view.
B．Avoid making mistakes.
C．Make an apology first.
D．change our lifestyles.

Not long ago, I opened an interesting e-mail from Jennifer, a friend of mine. “I’ve realized I want to be around people who make me happy,” she wrote, “I’ve been seeing how I feel after communicating with different people and making a mental list of who I feel good about. And you’re on my list.”
Then she invited me — and 11 other women— to a “Movie Night” to be held every six weeks at her house. We’d chat, eat, and watch feel-good movies. She made it clear in her invitation that there was no stress to show up to all or any movie nights. Wonderful! I e-mailed her back immediately. I was in.
Later, Jennifer told me she had some puzzled reactions to her invitation. Though all the women were willing to join, some said they didn’t see themselves as cheerful people. “I’ve told them they didn’t have to be cheerful around me all the time. I invited them because they made me feel happy,” she says.
Research shows that gatherings such as Jennifer’s make sense. In a US study, researchers measured(測量) the happiness of 4739 people at regular intervals (間隔) over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on(取決于) the happiness of people they connect with. Amazingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem to be the most contagious (傳染性的) among friends of the same sex.
“People with more supportive friends are less likely to develop sadness,” says Dr Toupey Luft, a psychologist in Penticyon, British Columbia. “Though you can’t choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.” With a little effort, you can add more positive(樂觀的) relationships to your social circle. Here’s how…
小題1:How many people did Jennifer invite?
A．1B．11 C．12D．13
小題2:What kind of things can you do on Jennifer’s movie night?
A．Gathering and measuring happiness among friends.
B．Chatting, eating and watching feel-good movies.
C．Being cheerful all the time.
D．Showing up stress.
小題3:What do the underlined words mean?
A．有意義B．有鑒賞力C．有感覺D．制造氣氛
小題4:Which of the following is right?
A．Jennifer was puzzled with her invitation.
B．All the women who were invited are cheerful people.
C．Jennifer invited people who are cheerful around her all the time.
D．People with more supportive friends seem to be more positive than people who don’t.
小題5:Can you guess what will be talked about in the following passage?
A．Why it is important to pick friends who make you feel good.
B．How to make friends who make you feel good.
C．What kinds of friends you should not make.
D．How you can find your social circle.

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing(縫紉)or reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible(可見的). Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing(批評)her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings(缺點)? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge(評判)someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.
