As we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence (《獨立宣言》). He wrote it in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accepted by the Congress (國會). As a result, he became famous.

Born in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a brilliant student at school and almost talented lawyer later, was much interested in politics.

Jefferson was elected the Governor of Virginia in 1779, and he was sent to France as the representative of the American government in 1784. Sixteen years later, at the age of 57, he was elected president after Washington and Adams.

Far from a handsome man, he was tall with long arms and big hands. Jefferson, who was an amusing talker in conversation but a poor speaker, was generally good-natured.

Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom in America. As a president, he protected the right of free speech. Interestingly enough, in his eight years as president, Jefferson never vetoed (否決) a bill which the Congress had passed. He did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia.

Thomas Jefferson died on July the fourth, 1826, the fiftieth anniversary of American Independence.

5. From the passage we can infer that America won its independence in _______.

A. 1786       B. 1800       C. 1842           D. 1776

6. How old was Thomas Jefferson when he became the Governor of Virgina?

A. He was 26.                         B. He was in his forties.

閱讀以下材料，然后按要求完成材料后面的三個小題。

There are all kinds of stress ( 壓力) in our daily lives such as stress from work, stress from study and stress from examinations. How to manage stress is thus a very important problem that we have to deal with properly.  Stress itself doesn’t exist. It’s only because we consider things to be bad and regard all of them as our own fault and won’t forgive ourselves. As we all know, there is nothing you can do without error. So it’s impossible to expect everything to be perfect. If we have done our best,  although not successfully, there is nothing to regret. And we don’t need to blame ourselves continuously. In fact we have done a quite good job. Then we will feel the stress less. We will stay healthy and do well in the future. Eventually we will be successful.
