Martha was busy with her job. She believed she had to work harder because she loved her father who was sick with cancer. She had to provide for his expensive medicines. Her brothers and sisters meanwhile stayed with their father most of the time. They bathed him, sang for him, spoon-fed(用匙喂) him or simply kept him company.
One day Martha was hurt. She overheard(無意中聽到) her father telling her mother, "All our children love me except Martha."
"How can this be?" Martha thought. "Am I not the one killing myself in my work to have money to pay for his medicines? My brothers and sisters do not even provide their share in the expenses."
One night, as Martha was as usual late in going home, she saw her father was lying awake. She walked close to his bedsides. Her father held her hands and said, "I miss you. I don't have much time. Stay with me." And she stayed with her father holding his hand the whole night.
The next morning Martha said to everybody, "I have taken a leave of absence. I would like to be with father. I will bathe him and sing for him from now on." Her father had a beautiful smile. He knew Martha loved him, too.
As children, we need the presence of our loved ones. Adults need no less. I have observed my mother’s orchids(蘭花). When she is away for a long time, they are unhealthy and many of them wither(干枯). But when she is around , they bloom with beautiful flowers. My mother does nothing special . She just spends her time looking after them.
小題1:Before Martha heard her parents’ talk ,she thought her father _____.
A．was satisfied with her love for him
B．disliked her brothers and sisters
C．was proud of her
D．would recover from the disease
小題2:After staying with her father for one night, Martha _____.
A．decided to give up her job
B．understood what her father really needed
C．realized her father loved her most
D．loved her father more than before
小題3:By telling Matha’s story, what does the author try to express?
A．Nothing is more important than the company of loved ones.
B．Money and a successful career don’t always bring happiness
C．Adults need the presence of their loved ones more than children do.
D．Plants like orchids do have feelings.

Do you have bright ideas? Ideas or inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encourages young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16, and there were eleven prize-winners altogether.
Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called “Sunshine Superman(超人)”. It’s important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neil’s is more accurate(精確的) and this is very important for research into the way of using solar(太陽的)power.
You can do so much with animated（模擬有生命物體的）cartoon. Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving , horses running or a car falling over the edge of a cliff(懸崖). Quite a warning!
The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power!”
61. The writer thinks that people seldom ______.
A. have bright ideas                            B. turn their bright ideas into reality
C. make their life easier                         D. think of inventing something
62. The organizers of the competition hoped the schoolchildren who joined in it would ___.
A. become good designers for future Britain      
B. invent something for immediate use
C. design something useful for the next day       
D. win as many prizes as they could
63. Neil Hunt’s design would finally lead to the improvement of the way of _______.
A. recording direct sunshine                       B. recording the hours of sunshine
C. using the energy of the sun              D. knowing how strong sunlight is
64. What’s the use of Simon West’s animated road signs?
A. To warn people to be careful while working.  
B. To warn people on the roads of the danger ahead.
C. To add to the beauty of a city.                       
D. To help make a car trip more exciting.
65. The writer seems to be encouraging the British industry to ______.
A. take better care of schoolchildren               
B. help schoolchildren in their studies
C. stop asking schoolchildren for suggestions                   
D. pay more attention to schoolchildren’s inventive power

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
David Beckham had a dream: to be the first English player to appear in four World Cups.
But now it appears that dream is over after a serious injury to his Achilles tendon（跟腱）which means he could be out of action for around six months. With this year's World Cup in South Africa only three months away, sadly Beckham looks set to miss out.
The injury happened while Beckham was playing for AC Milan against AC Chievo in the Italian league. After attempting to kick the ball he collapsed to the ground and hobbled off the pitch before being stretchered（被擔(dān)架抬走）away.
It is not yet known whether he has completely severed（切斷）his Achilles tendon or only torn it. The player has now flown to Finland for assessment and treatment by a knee specialist.
England manager Fabio Capello fears the worst for Beckham's World Cup chances.
"We have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the World Cup," he said in a statement. "I spoke with him after the game on Sunday night to offer my support.
"David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow."
Beckham's former manager at American club LA Galaxy, Alexei Lalas, echoed（共鳴）Capello's words of support:
"It is a horrible situation for Beckham. I know how much it meant to him to be in the World Cup and how important he was to the England team.
David Beckham is now 34 and some are asking whether this serious injury could mean his whole career is over.
Whatever happens, as one of football's best-known and popular players, Beckham will have no shortage of encouragement from fans around the world.
Some will remember Beckham's miraculous recovery from an Achilles injury in 2006, when he was back on the pitch after only eight weeks.
If he could repeat the same feat，in time for the World Cup it really would be the stuff of fairytales.
So, perhaps all is not lost. Optimists will take heart from Alexei Lalas' words:
"You never want to write off（排除）David Beckham as he has shown us his ability to bounce back（恢復(fù)原狀）."
56．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Beckham had a dream?
B．Beckham—a great football player!
C．The end for Beckham?
D．World Cup in South Africa!
57．What does the author mean by saying “missing it will be a big blow?”
A．Missing the World Cup will be a big success.
B．Missing Beckham means a great failure.
C．Missing Beckham means an important opportunity for the American club LA Galaxy.
D．Missing the World Cup means a big disappointment for Beckham.
58．We may infer from the passage that____________
A．Beckham will definitely not be able to play football again
B．Beckham was cured by a great knee specialist he found
C．Beckham has his ability to bounce back
D．Beckham is likely to miss the World Cup
59．What do the underlined words “take heart” probably mean?
A．get disappointed      B．get help    C．get encouraged D．get hurt
