Mr. King lived with six hundred wild（野生）animals on the Greek Island of Kyklos. Ever since he left school, he had traveled all over the word collecting animals for his own zoo. He hoped to collect（收集） two examples of every kind of animal on his island（島嶼）. But he was afraid that people would find him someday.
He wrote books about his travels and about his animals that he collected. The money from the books helped to pay for all the food that these animals ate.
One day, when Mr. King was out looking for drinking water, he found oil（石油）. He needed money for his travels and for his zoo, and a little oil would buy enough water for what he needed all his life, but he knew that if he told anyone else about it, it would be the end of his zoo and his life’s work. So he decided not to tell anyone else about what he had found, because oil and water couldn’t mix.

When I looked at the grade on my math paper my jaw almost dropped to the ground: a big “65” in bright red ink. I had never received such a terrible grade before.
I was so ashamed that when I got home that afternoon I lied to my dad. I told him I got 85 and that the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade, so he didn’t doubt the unusual delay of my report.
A month later, Dad casually asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice, I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my math final. I had lied because I didn’t want to let him down.
For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off than that silence. Finally, Dad said, in a hurt voice, “You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not disappointed at your math score. That is no big deal – no one can be perfect all the time. But I am very disappointed in you. If you can’t be honest with your dad, who can you be honest with? It’s much easier to achieve a better grade than rebuild someone else’s trust in you.”
Dad’s words touched my heart. I couldn’t forgive myself for having hurt his feelings. I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed to him and apologized, sincerely. I realized that my honesty is not only important to me personally, but to those around me that truly care about my well-being.
In one of Shakespeare’s plays a character says: “No legacy is so rich as honesty.” After the crisis between Dad and me, I began to understand those words.
小題1:.The first paragraph may suggest that the author ______.
A．was punished by her father for a bad grade
B．never expected teachers to give her bad grades
C．usually got a higher grade
D．was bad at math
小題2:. The author lied to her father because ______.
A．she thought her father would believe her story
B．she didn’t want to let her father down
C．her father wouldn’t get her grade report
D．her father got angry whenever she got a poor grade
小題3:. Why did her father stay silent after his daughter told him that she had lied?
A．He didn’t understand what his daughter had said.
B．He was angry that his daughter lied to him again.
C．He was unhappy with his daughter’s bad score.
D．He was hurt that his daughter had lied to him.
小題4:. The purpose of the article is to tell us that ______.
A．dishonesty may work sometimes, but there is a price to pay

The house was quiet at 5 a.m. and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (輕微顫動聲) of the freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches—but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table:
Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight. Tim.
The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn’t up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves. The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn’t go in all the way...
小題1:. What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?
A．He left the house quietly.B．He had breakfast at home
C．He left a note on the freezer.D．He put a sweater in his schoolbag.
小題2:. “He settled for some biscuits” in paragraph 3 means that Tim ___.
A．had to leave the biscuits on the tableB．liked biscuits better than sandwiches
C．had to take biscuits instead of sandwichesD．could only find some biscuits in the kitchen
小題3:. What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?
A．The height of the first rocksB．The ups and downs of the waves
C．The change in the position of the sun.D．The vast stretch of the sunlit beach
小題4:. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?
A．The sea looked like a piece of gold.B．Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.
C．Tim was the only person on the beach.D．The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.
小題5:.. In the story, Tim’s mood changed from ___.
A．loneliness to crazinessB．a(chǎn)nxiousness to excitement
C．helplessness to happinessD．eagerness to nervousness
