I was at a coffee shop last night taking in a wonderful folk music performance, and was busy tapping my feet，and  32 along to the relaxing tunes!
WhenI got up to get a cup of coffee and a  33 ，I noticed a middle-aged woman nearby．She had  34 been caught in a fire of some sort． Her face had been seriously  35 ，so that the skin looked very tight．She almost had no nose．a(chǎn)nd her eyes were tiny．I took a deep
breath，and went back to my  36 ，thinking how brave she was to come out and  37 in public．I also felt  38 of myself for shuddering（戰(zhàn)栗）and looking down while I   39 back to my seat，unable to send even a weak  40 her way
As I was sipping（啜飲）my coffee and eating my cookie，I kept thinking about  41 I should ignore this moment and just  42 my own business，or do something about my feelings．I couldn’t let it go．I went for a refill of coffee and to get another cookie，  43 this time I made my way slowly  44 the wonan，said，“Isn’t he a wonderful performer?”and gave her a largest smile I was able to give．To my  45 ，she looked right at me and gave me a huge SMILE in return!
I’m sure it took this woman a   46 time to find her smile after her terrible  47 ．I believe that my smile  48 her day，and hers also made me very happy．She seemed to have
  49 to find peace with herself，and I was  50 ，because her smile had made her beautiful
Sometimes it takes  51 to smile，considering how hard life can be．

"When I met my wife and fell in love, which was the best time of my life."
"The Second World War came, and my wife and I had to flee Austria to save our lives. When we were together and safe on a ship bound for North America, which was the best time of my life. "
"When we came to Canada and started a family, which was the best time of my life."
"When I was a young father, watching my children grow up, that was the best time of my life."
"And now, Joe, 1 am seventy - nine years old. I have my health, l feel good and I am in love with my wife just as I was when we first met. This is the best time of my life."

第三部分 閱讀理解（共15小題，每小題2分，滿分30分）
閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項A、B、C、D中，選出最佳選項。
Social customs and ways of behaving changes. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room. Customs also change from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or on the right in your company? Or does it matter? Should you have one hand in your lap(衣兜) or on the table? The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both countries people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and America. That is, if a dinner is for seven o’clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay（拖延）. The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make people feel uncomfortable especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to cut his peas with a knife. The other guests were surprised or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish and uncomfortable.
56. If a man smoked in the room where a lady stayed, he would be considered as_____.
A. a gentleman      B , a boss      C. a fool      D. a worker
57. Which of the following is true?
A. A respected man usually behaves properly
B. social customs in some countries never change
C. English people open the door for women while Americans don’t
D. To eat peas with a knife is good manners
58. The underlined word “promptness” means _____.
A. to show respect for a lady     B. to apologize when you are late
C. to invite sb to dinner         D. to do things without delay
59. The writer tells us a story just to ______.
A. amuse the readers       B. tell us how to avoid making others uncomfortable
C. tell us how to eat peas   D. show that social customs and ways change
60. Which might be the title of the passage ?
A. American and British culture       B. Table manners
C. Change old customs              D. Social customs

It was getting dark and snow was coming down. Joe was driving home. He’d been unemployed since the factory closed. Most of his friends had left, but he stayed on. After all, he was born here.
Suddenly he saw a lady standing on the side of the road and pulled up. She was worried. No one had stopped to help her. Was he going to hurt her? He looked poor and hungry. Joe knew how she felt and said, “My name is Joe and I’m here to help you.” All she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Joe changed the tire, but he got dirty and his hands were hurt. She wanted to pay Joe and said any amount would have been all right. Joe never thought twice about the money and there were plenty who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance that they needed.
Later the lady went in a dingy-looking restaurant to grab a bite to eat. The cash register was like the telephone of an out-of-work actor----it didn’t ring much. The waitress, who was nearly eight months pregnant, brought a clean towel to her with a sweet smile. The old lady remembered Joe. After the waitress brought the change from a 100-dollar bill, she found the lady gone and something written on a piece of paper, “Someone once helped me out----the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, don’t let the chain of love end with you.”
That night the waitress gave her sleeping husband a soft kiss and whispered, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Joe.”

A．On his way home after work, he helped an old lady.
B．He had worked in a factory in his hometown before.

The church seems cold this morning, even after all the people, friends and family, fill the benches. I sit here in silence, in shock and denial. This was not supposed to happen. What about our dreams, or our plans? We were going to raise our children, travel the world, and grow old together. I’m only 37, a typical housewife. I don’t know if I can do all this alone—two children, no father. What do I do or say?
The faces of so many people confuse me as they come to pay their last respects. Some have real sorrow; I can see it in their eyes. The others seem to just say, “I told you so.” Those famous last words: I-told-you-so. How I can’t stand them. And the pointing fingers as so-called family and so-called friends pick me out of the crowd for others to see. I want to scream and wake up but I can’t do anything but sit there. How can they be so blind? I fell in love with a man. Love knows no boundaries .
He was a good man, hardworking, caring and kind. He was retired from the Navy and a gentleman. He was sensitive to others’ needs, the kind of man that knew what to do or say, how to humor any situation and calm everyone’s fears. I remember our first child was a big surprise to both of us. I remember when I told him the news. He fell off his chair, saying over and over in disbelief, “But I’m almost sixty.” After a few months he started planning our next and even doing his famous little dance whenever he discussed the idea.
A man, thirty years older than I, lies in a coffin. Flowers, the American flag and his VFW comrades surround him, paying tribute（頌詞）to him as the man he really was. And I sit alone here, with our two children, in silence, praying that this cold morning at church is only a nightmare and I will awake to his loving arms again.
49. What can we know from the passage about the writer?
A. She married a man much older than she. 
B. She is going to give birth to their second child.
C. She lost her husband, who was as old as she.
D. She lost her father, whom she loved deeply.
50. From Paragraph Two, we can see ______.
A. the writer didn’t really love the man
B. some of her family members didn’t understand her
C. some of her family members and friends were blind
D. she thought her marriage to the man was a mistake
51. Which of the following can best replace the underlined words “But I’m almost sixty”?
A. I can’t believe it.                  
B. That’s a lot of trouble.
C. That should have happened long ago.    
D. It can’t be my child.
