    Dwight W. Morrow was an American ambassador (大使) to Mexico   during the 1920s. He is remembered as a smart diplomat (精明的外交家).   He is also remembered by his family and friends for one of his   absent-mindedness (心不在焉).

    Once while on a train, a conductor came to Morrow, asking for his   ticket. He began to search his pockets. No ticket appeared. Morrow   began searching his suitcase (行李箱). "Never mind, sir," said the   conductor, seeing how anxious Morrow was becoming and trying to   comfort him. "When you find your ticket just post it to the station.   I'm sure you have it somewhere."

    "I'm sure, too," said the diplomat as he continued his search.   "But I must find it. I need to know where I'm going!"

    Another time Morrow got off a train in New York and hurried to a   telegraph office, where, feeling not unlike a small boy who had got   lost, he sent the following to his secretary, "I am in New York but   don't know why." Within minutes came the short reply, "You are not   supposed to be in New York. You should be in Princeton giving a   lecture."

 (3)Morrow was very upset when he couldn't find the ticket       because ______.                   [ 。      A. he had forgotten where he was going      B. he would be punished if he couldn't show his ticket      C. the conductor looked impatient      D. the conductor might think he was lying

第三部分閱讀理解(共20小題。每小題2分,;滿分40分)
閱讀下列短文,從所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。                           
Everyone has their friends, but I knew one girl who didn't. I guess you could call her a geek, because all she did was reading, studying, and doing homework. I don't think she even played a sport. She was one of those quiet people who no one really paid attention to, and
those who did only made fun of her. I had heard all kinds of rumors (謠言) that she had problems, but I didn't really believe them. I felt bad for her.
My friends and I were nice to her. We let her sit at our lunch table and we often said "Hi" to her, but she wasn't our best friend. Throughout the year, she started talking to us more and more. We continued being kind to her. She was normal as far as I was concerned (就我而言). She was just really quiet.
That summer I got a letter. When I opened it, I realized it was from her. “I just wanted to thank you so much for being so extremely kind and friendly to me this year. Before you
became my friend, I had no one to talk to or sit with at lunch. I even wanted to kill myself. But you and your friends changed that. You made me feel wanted and included. It meant so much to me. I am going to be moving and switching to another school next year. I'll never forget you and what you did."
By the time I finished the letter, I was in shock. I could not believe what I had just read. I learned that the simplest things and the smallest acts of kindness can mean the world to someone else.
56. What kind of person does the underlined word "geek" in Para1 probably refer to?
A. A confident and hardworking student.
B. A dishonest and badly behaved person.
C. Someone is not popular and does strange things
D. Someone is naughty and always makes fun of others.
57. How did the girl feel before the author became her friend?
A. Happy and comfortable.                 B. Pleased and confident.
C. Worried and surprised.                   D. Sad and lonely.
58. From the passage, we learn that the author and her friends ______.
A. helped get the girl out of trouble           B. got the girl to go to another school
C. changed the girl’s the habit of working hard  D. didn't want to help the girl at all
59. What's the best title for the passage?
A. A Strange Girl                          B. A Quiet Heart
C. A Girl without Any Problems              D. Just the littlest Things
