A Woman and a Fork
There was a young woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness and could only live three months. So as she was getting her things "in order," she   36  her Rabbi (法師)and had him  come to her house to   37  certain aspects of her final wishes.
She told him which songs she wanted sung at the   38 , what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in.
Everything was in order and the Rabbi was preparing to leave   39  the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.
"There's one more thing," she said   40 . "What' that?" "This is very important, I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."
The Rabbi stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.
“That surprises you, doesn't it?” the young woman asked. "Well, to be honest, I'm   41  by the request," said the Rabbi.
The young woman   42 . “My grandmother once told me this story, and from then on, I have always done so. I have also, always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of   43 
In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main   44 were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part   45  I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie…”
So, I just want people to see me there in that casket(棺材)with a fork in my hand and I want them to   46 "What's with the fork?"  47  I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork…the best is yet to come."
The Rabbi's eyes were   48  up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of   49  than he did. She had a better grasp of   50 heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge.
She knew that something better was coming. At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork   51  in her right  hand. Over and over, the Rabbi heard the question "What's with the fork?" And over and over he   52 .
During his message, the Rabbi told the people of the   53  he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and what it symbolized to   54 . The Rabbi told the people how he could not stop thinking about the   55  and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.
He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it remind you ever so gently, that the best is yet to come.

Bill Javis took over our village news-agency at a time of life when most of us only want to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity (簡單)and order (秩序) and regularity (規(guī)律) of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.
Every day he opened his shop at six a.m. to catch the early trade (買賣); the papers arrived on his door-step before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station(郵局). Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometime in the afternoon, the evening paper landed on the doormat, and at 4 o’clock Bill reopened. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.
He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.
“What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.
For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right.” I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock (鬧表) round with him before.
小題1:Bill opened the shop so early in the day because _______.
A.he liked to do as much as possible before he went to work
B.the shop had to be open when the morning papers came
C.he was never sure of the time
D.it was then that he did a lot of business
小題2:You might say “hard luck” to someone who _______.
A.has just heard some very good news
B.is less fortunate than he or she ought to be
C.puts great effort into whatever he or she tries
D.fails through his or her own fault entirely
小題3:On that sunny afternoon, the writer was surprised when he saw Bill because _______.
A.he thought it was late for Bill to be still fishing
B.he thought Bill was ill, since he was not moving at all
C.Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strange
D.Bill stayed in his flat
小題4:From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?
A.The bell was; it must have gone off at the wrong time.
B.Bill was; he had dropped off to sleep.
C.The writer’s watch was fast.
D.Bill’s clock was wrong; it was very old.

When Chato’s barking didn’t stir Jerrica Seals, the recently adopted dog tried nibbling on the teenager’s leg to get the girl out of the burning house.?
“No one was hurt.” Fort Myers firefighters responded at about 7:00 a.m.
Five people lived in the Garcia’s home. That was neighbor Janice Hamilton’s main concern when she looked out of her window Friday and saw the flames. “I just threw my pants on to run outside and make sure they knew how many people lived there,” Hamilton said. “It was scary.”
“Seals called me screamingly,” said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seals’ boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the house. “She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg.”?
It is said that Garcia’s brother brought Chato home several weeks ago after the animal wandered onto a Lehigh Acres construction site. Since then, Vega said, Chato had been mostly quiet until it mattered. “He doesn’t usually bark.” Vega said. “He’s really friendly.”?
According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an improper extension cord(電纜) used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the house was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure. Estimates (估計)for repair costs were unavailable. “I’d say it’s unlikely they will recover this, but I’ve been surprised before.” Clyatt said.?
小題1:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage??
A.Janice Hamilton Helps Save Neighbors?
B.Firefighters Put out House Fire?
C.A Dog Saves the Whole Family from House Fire?
D.Family Needs Help Due to House Fire
小題2:The underlined word “they” in the third paragraph most probably refers to _______.
A.other neighbors?B.Hamilton’s family members?
C.Vega and her brother Garcia?D.the firefighters
小題3:By saying “I’d say it’s unlikely they will recover this, but I’ve been surprised before.” in the
last paragraph, Clyatt means _______.?
A.it’s a wonder that Seals survived the fire?B.the house was badly damaged?
C.such a big fire was seldom seen?D.Chato is a very clever dog
