Bob was a clever college student, but his family was poor, so he had to work after class and during his holidays to get enough money for his studies.
One summer he got a job in a butcher’s shop during the day time, and another in a hospital at night. In the shop, he learned to cut and sell meat. He did so well that the butcher went into a room behind the shop to do all the accounts. In the hospital, of course, Bob was told to do only the easiest jobs. He helped to lift people and carry them from one part of the hospital to another. Both in the butcher’s shop and in the hospital, Bob had to wear white clothes.
One evening in the hospital, Bob had to help to carry a woman from her bed to the operating - room. The woman already felt frightened when she thought about the operation. When she saw Bob coming to get her, she felt even more frightened.
"No! No!" she cried. "Not a butcher! I won’t let a butcher operate on me!" with these words ,she fainted away.

While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage.
The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left only one to compete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important.
I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong. I’m not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold – his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.
I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out.
But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed.
No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did.
A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have. Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors.
Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to Sydney.
小題1:From the passage we can learn that the young man         .
A．made his turn to start back pitifullyB．was skillful in freestyle in the game
C．swam faster than the average swimmerD．was not capable enough to win the medal
小題2:The crowd changed their attitudes because          .
A．they felt sorry for the young manB．they were moved by the young man’s courage
C．they wanted to show their sympathyD．they meant to please the young man
小題3:What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Compete for Gold!B．Try again!C．Break a Record! D．Go for it!

The painter Georgia O’keeffe was born in Wisconsin in 1887 and grew up on her family’s farm. At seventeen she decided she wanted to be an artist and left the farm for schools in Chicago and New York, but she never lost her bond with the land. Like most painters, O’Keeffe painted the things that were most important to her, and nearly all her works are simplified portrayals of nature.
O’Keeffe became famous when her paintings were discovered and exhibited in New York by the photographer Levered Stieglitz, whom she married in 1924. During a visit to New York in 1929, O’Keeffe was so moved by the bleak（荒涼的） landscape and broad skies of the Western desert that she began to paint its images. Cows’ skulls and other bleached（變白的） bones found in the desert figured prominently（突出的） in her paintings. When her husband died in 1946, she moved to New Mexico permanently and used the horizon lines of the desert, colorful flowers, rocks, barren(貧瘠的) hills, and the sky as subjects for her paintings. Although O’Keeffe painted her best known works in the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s, she continued to produce tributes（貢品、頌詞） to the Western desert until her death in 1986.
O’Keeffe is widely considered to have been a pioneering American modernist painter. While most early modern American artists were strongly influenced by European art, O’Keeffe’s position was more independent. She established her own vision and preferred to view her painting as a private endeavor. Almost from the beginning, her work was more indentifiably American than that of her contemporaries in its simplified and idealized treatment of color, light, space, and natural forms.
小題1: Which of the following best tells what this passage is about ?
A．O’Keeffe was a distinctive modern American painter.
B．O’Keeffe was the best painter of her generation.
C．O’Keeffe liked to paint only what was familiar to her.
D．O’Keeffe used colors and shapes that are too reduced and simple.
小題2:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an influence on O’Keeffe’s paintings ?
A．Her rural upbringingB．Her life in the West
C．The works of European artistsD．The appearance of the natural landscape
小題3:Which of the following is most similar to O’Keeffe’s relationship with nature?
A．A photoghrapher’s relationship with a model.
B．A writer’s relationship with a publisher.
C．A student’s relationship with a teacher
D．A carpenter’s relationship with a hammer.
小題4:Why is O’Keeffe considered an artistic pioneer ?
A．Her work became influential in Europe.
B．She painted the American Southwest.
C．Her paintings had a definite American style.
D．She painted things that were familiar to her.

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father. “But Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead.”
Dad , in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
Myth( 神話)Number One: It's best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.
Truth: Sorry , but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield(擋風(fēng)玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear.”
　　Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
　　Truth: Sorry again. but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.
　　Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour
　　Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other. An unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.
小題1:Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But. Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead”?
A．He was driving at great speed.
B．He was running across the street.
C．He didn't have his safety belt on.
D．He didn't take his medicine on time.
小題2:The reason Father was in a hurry to get home was that he＿＿＿＿＿．
A．wasn't feeling very well
B．hated to drive in the dark
C．wanted to take some exercise
D．didn't want to be caught by the police
小題3: According to the text, to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous ,because you ＿＿＿＿＿．
A. may be knocked down by other cars
B may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car
C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat
D. may get caught in the car door
小題4:Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe＿＿＿.
A．the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident
B．they will be unable to think clearly in an accident
C．they will be caught when help comes
D．cars catch fire easily
小題5:What is the advice given in the text?
A．Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.
B．Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.
C．Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.
D．Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.

Dear Johnston,
Your request for eighty dollars, I do not think it best to satisfy now. At the various times when I have helped you a little, you have said to me, “We can get along very well again,” but in a very short time I find you in the same difficulty again. Now this can only happen by some fault in your behavior. What that fault is, I think I know. You are not lazy, and still you are an idler(游手好閑). I doubt whether since I saw you, you have done a good whole day’s work, in any other day. You do not very much dislike to work, and still you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to you that you could get much for it.
This habit of uselessly wasting time is the whole difficulty; it is vastly important to you, and still more so to your children, that you should break this habit. It is more important to them, because they have longer to live, and can keep out of an idle habit before they are in it, easier than they can get out after they are in.
You are now in need of some ready money; and what I suggest is, that you shall go to work hard, for somebody who will give you money for it.
Let father and your boys take charge of your things at home-prepare for a crop, and make the crop, and you go to work for the best money wages, or to pay back any debt you owe. And to secure you a fair reward for your labor, I now promise you that for every dollar you will, between this and the first of May, get for your own labor, I will then give you one other dollar. By this, if you hire yourself at ten dollars a month, from me you will get ten more, making twenty dollars a month for your work.
Now if you will do this, you will soon be out of debt, and what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from getting in debt again. But if I should now clear you out, next year you will be just as deep in as ever. You say you would almost give your place in Heaven for $ 70 or $80. Then you value your place in Heaven cheaply, for I am sure you can with the offer I make you get the seventy or eighty dollars for four or five months’ work. You say if I furnish you the money you will deed(抵押) me the land, and if you don’t pay the money back, you will deliver possession-Nonsense! If you can’t now live with the land, how will you then live without it? You have always been kind to me, and I do not now mean to be unkind to you. On the contrary, if you will but follow my advice, you will find it worth more than eight time eighty dollars to you.
Affectionately
Your brother
A. Lincoln
小題1:Abraham Lincoln wrote the letter to Johnston mainly to ________.
A．show his concern for himB．recommend him to save money
C．decline his request and motivate himD．introduce him a new job
小題2:What’s the problem with Johnston, according to Lincoln?
A．He was very lazy. B．He wasted time a lot.
C．He couldn’t get much from work.D．He disliked working.
小題3:In the letter Lincoln suggested that Johnston should ________.
A．keep himself from getting into troubleB．go to work hard for somebody
C．manage well the things at home D．keep the children out of the idle habit
小題4:If Johnston got one dollar for his work, Lincoln promised to _________.
A．reward him with laborB．pay off his debt
C．hire him at 10 dollars a month D．give him another dollar
小題5:In order to get 80 dollars from Lincoln, Johnston promised to ________.

Charlie Chaplin was born on April 16, 1889 in London. Both his father and mother were entertainers and although not of big names, they were doing very well. While the family was by no means rich, the music hall provided the Chaplins with a comfortable living. Unfortunately happy life didn’t last long. Father’s alcoholism was slowly, but surely destroying his marriage. Finally it ended in divorce. His mother managed to keep Charlie and his brother Syney clean and warm, clothed and fed. She would sit at the window watching the passers-by and guess at their characters from the way they looked and behaved, making up tales to delight Charlie and Syney. Charlie took in her skills and went on using them all his life.
Charlie had always believed, even in the worst times, that he had something special locked away inside him. He took his courage and went to one of the top theater agents. With no experience at all, he was offered a plum part (意外得到的好角色) in a new production of “Sherlock Holmes”, which opened on July 27, 1903 at the famous “Pavilion Theatre”. Charlie seemed to change overnight. It was as if he had found the thing he was meant to do. By 1910, Charlie had become “one of the best pantomime (啞劇) artists ever seen ”.
Cinema was born in the same year as Charlie thought people still believed it was a passing fashion, and would never replace live shows. But after using several weeks to watch and to learn, he was determined to master this new medium. It offered him the chance of money and success—and it would set him free from the unpredictability of live audience.
Charlie’s first film, released in February 1914, was called “Making a living”. After that he made another ten. The public loved him and producers were demanding more and more Chaplin films. In an incredibly short time, Charlie had become a very important man in motion picture.
小題1:Which of the following is NOT true about Charlie Chaplin?
A．Mother had much influence on Charlie Chaplin’s career.
B．“Sherlock Holmes” made Charlie rise to fame overnight.
C．Charlie had been famous when the cinema became a fashion.
D．Charlie’s work in both the theater and the cinema was welcomed.
小題2:What can you infer from the passage?
A．Charlie Chaplin’s belief in his potential led to his success.
B．Charlie Chaplin got his first role in a film at 14.
C．Cinema was a form of art showing live performance.
D．Motion picture was a passing fashion lasting a short time.
小題3:The underlined word “unpredictability” in Paragraph 3 means____________.
A．low spiritsB．opposing attitude
C．successful performanceD．changing state
小題4:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Charlie Chaplin made the cinema industry popular.
B．Charlie Chaplin’s early success in his career.
C．Charlie Chaplin was a best pantomime artist.
D．Charlie Chaplin’s determination to do what he liked.

I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such an attractive, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
　　Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.
　　Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”.
But in memoir（回憶錄） after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.
The way people stick to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, and self-improvement.
小題1:What does the author want to tell us? He wants to tell us             .
A．he lives in Hollywood, so he feels not happy
B．the true meaning of happiness
C．in fact, famous people are not very happy
D．happiness is not equal to fun
小題2:What is many intelligent people’s viewpoint about happiness?
A．Happiness just means having fun.B．Happiness is not equal to fun.
C．Happiness means doing what you like.D．Happiness means being rich.
小題3:What does the underlined word “equate” in the second paragraph mean? It means    .
A．compareB．think
C．similar or connectedD．match
小題4:According to the passage, the author may agree        .
A．a(chǎn)musement park can bring us happiness
B．fun will bring some happiness to us
C．pain will bring us happiness
D．efforts can bring us happiness
