This is a true story. Tristin Saghin enjoyed the movie Black Hawk Down very much，which is about the conflict in Somalia.The battle scenes and the exciting rescues of people who are dying，interested him greatly.
There was just one problem：Tristin was only 9 years old，and it was thought that movie was not for children. When his parents caught him watching it on TV，they made him turn it off，though he had finished his homework and it was not late. Then one day，Tristin and his family were visiting his grandmother in Mesa，Arizona. Tristin’s 2­year­old sister got out of the house and fell in the backyard pool. Realizing the little girl was missing，the family ran outside，only to find the girl had fallen into the water.
Pulled from the pool and placed on the ground，the child wasn’t breathing. The family called the ambulance (救護(hù)車)，but no one knew how to do first aid. No one，that is，except for Tristin. A scene in Black Hawk Down describes a doctor giving first aid. Tristin remembered it. Then the 9­year­old gave first aid to his sister at once and saved her life.
His parents don’t stop him seeing the movies he likes any more. Tristin taught himself how to do first aid but he had never thought he could use it to save his little sister’s life. Any skill can be used in time，so you should always learn.

Zoe Chambers was a successful PR(Public Relations) consultant and life was going well — she had a great job, beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. “The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through.” she said. “After everything I’d done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn’t feel like looking for another job. I hate everything about the city and my life.”
Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later she is still on the farm.
"The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay." said Zoe. "Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."
Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. "It's a hard life, physically very tiring." she says. "In London 1 was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners."
Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing — watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, "It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had. I could never go back to city life now."
小題1:When working as a PR consultant in London, Zoe thought she lived a ______life.
A．satisfying B．tough C．meaningless D．boring
小題2:The most important reason why Zoe went to visit Kathy's farm is that______.
A．Zoe lost her job as a PR consultant
B．Kathy persuaded her to do so
C．Zoe got tired of the city life
D．Zoe loved Wales more than London
小題3:How docs Zoe feel about the country life according to the passage?
A．Tiresome and troublesome.
B．Romantic and peaceful
C．Mentally exhausting but healthy
D．Physically tiring but rewarding.
小題4:Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the passage?

C．A misfortune may turn out a blessing.
D．Kill two birds with one stone.

Prison Break is a huge hit thanks to its handsome star, Wentworth Miller. His character, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show.
Having committed a crime to get into prison and break out with his innocent brother, Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on TV today. But what about the man behind the character?
Miller,35, is a hard guy to figure out. He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way.
Miller didn’t take direct path to fame and fortune. He graduated from Princeton University in 1995, not with a degree in theatre of film, but in English. He didn’t even act when he was in college. His only performance experience was in his university’s singing group. Yet , at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood.
Miller has always been different. Although he is American, he was in Britain when his father was studying there. His family background is also a special mix of cultures. “My father is black and my mother is white. That means I have always been caught in the middle. I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place,” Miller says.
Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he
first went to Hollywood. Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant. Not what you would expect from a Princeton graduate. However, it all paid off for Miller in the end.  
In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia（《恐龍帝國》）. He starred as a thoughtful and shy man. Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later. With a golden globe nomination（提名）and another season of Prison Break on his resume, Miller seems ready to take over all of Hollywood. 
小題1:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Michael Scofield in Prison Break .
B．Hollywood’s recent big hit—Prison Break.
C．Miller’s unusual path to fame and fortune.
D．The man who will take over all of the world.
小題2:The writer thinks “Miller is a hard guy to figure out” because         .
A．it’s difficult to tell him from others
B．he is a shy man and hard to cooperate with
C．he always has ideas hard for people to understand
D．his family background and life experience are very special
小題3:Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence “it all paid off for Miller in the end”?
A．Miller put a lot of extra work for his final success.
B．Miller gained fame and fortune at last with his first film.
C．Miller finally succeeded even if he has been in low position.
D．Miller managed to pay off his debts with his small income in the end.
小題4:Which of the following statements is TRUE about Miller?
A．He is chosen to play the Michael Scofield due to his interesting personality.
B．His performance in Dinotopia makes some contributions to his success.
C．He has the same experience with the character Michael Scofield.
D．He is angry about his being born into a mixed-cultural family.

One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister. On this occasion, the task was made less troublesome by the presence of his girlfriend. I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children and the younger children would do a wonderful job of accompanying the older ones. Later, I discovered that complete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with.
I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out. I called home with this happy news. But instead of hearing his cheerful, grateful voice on the other end of the line, all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.
It was, I should point out, after 10 p.m., when the two younger children should have been in bed, and when the two older children should have been answering the phone. “I’ll give him a lesson,” I said. I decided they must be outside. Why they might be outside at 10:30 on a wintry night I had no idea, but it was the only explanation I could come up with.
Finally, in desperation, I called his girlfriend’s house. After what seemed like countless rings, his girlfriend answered. “Yes,” she said brightly, “He’s right here.”
He came on the phone. I was not my usual calm, rational self. After all, one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can’t trust modern teenagers. “Where are the children?” I said. He said they were with him. They had done nothing wrong. My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend’s house just for ice cream and cake. This was too favorable to be believed. Well, it turned out that I shouldn’t have believed it. It was only part of the truth.
The following Saturday evening we were at my parents’ home, celebrating my birthday. My oldest son gave me the children’s gifts. Mounted(裱裝) and framed were a series of lovely color photographs of my children, dressed in their best clothes, and wearing their most wonderful expressions. They are pictures to treasure a lifetime, all taken by the father of my son’s girlfriend.
That was the most precious gift of all.
小題1:Shortly after the author left home one evening, she discovered that ____.
A．her son had brought his girlfriend home
B．the father of her son’s girlfriend had come to her home to take photos of the children
C．she shouldn’t have completely trusted her son
D．she should have taken the children along with her
小題2:According to Paragraph 3, “it” means ____.
A．the two younger children have been in bed
B．the older children have been answering the phone
C．the author will give her older son a lesson
D．the older son has gone outside with his girlfriend
小題3:The sentence “It was only part of the truth.” (Para. 5) implies that the children not only enjoyed ice-cream but also ____.
A．had a birthday partyB．framed some photographs
C．had their pictures takenD．showed off their best clothes
小題4:Which of the following possible titles best expresses the main idea of this passage?
A．Puppy Love B．Brotherhood
