In the office of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, there is a picture of Catherine the Great, the legendary Russian Empress. When asked why she has the picture, Merkel says, “She was a strong woman”. Many say the same of Merkel.
The most powerful woman in the world, according to US Forbes magazine, was in China last week. She came to discuss trade and environmental issues with China’s top leaders. Germany’s first woman leader is known as a brave and practical statesman(政治家). Even since her time at school, she had the habit of getting everything in order. Every day before doing her homework she would clean the desk and think about what to do next. “I prefer a long time for full preparations to make my decision. But once I decide, I will stand up for what I believe,” Merkel said.
Perhaps it was good habits that helped her do well in her studies. At 32, she got a doctorate (博士學位) in physics and then she worked as a researcher.
However, the life of a scholar couldn’t put off her love of politics. While working in labs, Merkel took time off to read political books and at last joined a political party. “Her calmness helped her stand out in the party. She could always find a way out while others felt hopeless,” said one of her old friends.
In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, her scientific background proved very useful. In 2005 she became Germany’s youngest chancellor since the second World War.
Now half way through her four-year term, the 53-year-old woman has made a name for herself both in Germany and abroad. At the EU summit in 2005 when France quarreled with Britain over the EU budget(預算), some people believed the EU was close to breaking down. But Merkel didn’t give up. She shuttled(穿梭) between the heads of the two powers and had them reached an agreement.
“Strength comes from composure(鎮(zhèn)定) and courage. Many people say I am a strong woman. But I would rather say I have perseverance,” said Merkel.
小題1: Why does Merkel put a picture of Catherine the Great on the wall of her office?
A．Because Catherine the Great is beautiful.
B．Because Merkel wants to be a strong woman too.
C．Because Merkel likes the drawing skill of it.
D．Because it is very expensive.
小題2:What is the correct order of the following events?
a. became the German Chancellor
b. got a doctorate in physics and then she worked as a researcher
c. join a political party
d. visit China
e. take part in the EU summit
f. as Minister for the Environment
A．bcafdeB．cbfdaeC．bcfaedD．cbfaed
小題3:Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Merkel usually is hurry to make a decision when facing difficulties.
B．At the EU summit in 2005, the relationship between French and Britain was in tension.
C．Merkel is a well-known leader all over the world.
D．She is outstanding because of her calmness.
小題4: What is the best title for the passage?
A．An excellent lecturerB．Germany’s iron lady
C．The change of a scholarD．The youngest chancellor

       How do you get a man to do his share of the housework? If you are like most women, you’ve faced this question the hard way.
A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually won’t make the effort to clean or organise it. This doesn't mean that a woman has to do all the housework:; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partner’s participation（參與）. A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility（責任） for housework.
Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as women’s work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, and it’s important that you give your man appreciation for those things, too. Most men will take on a little additional housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored.
Here’s the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or because they simply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do a household task just for the good of the house.
小題1: The passage is mainly about how to _____.
A．get men to take on some housework
B．get men to serve their families
C．praise men’ housework
D．make men do all the housework
小題2:According to the passage, a man_____.
A．is willing to do housework
B．likes to be told to do housework
C．is taught to be responsible for housework from childhood
D．likes a clean house but doesn’t make efforts to clean it
小題3:In order to get men to do some housework, women should often_____.
A．order them to do their share
B．a(chǎn)sk them to do some housework politely
C．blame men’s laziness
D．monitor men’s work
小題4:According to the passage, the underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that men won’t _____.
A．work without any payment
B．do unimportant household tasks
C．do housework without women’s praise
D．please their wives
小題5: According to the passage, which of the following would a husband most probably like to do?
A．Cleaning the table.B．Doing some sewing.
C．Painting the fence.D．Asking his wife to work on the yard.

The Chinese-born American architect Ieoh Ming Pei is one of the most creative architects of our times. He has incorporated both eastern and western ideas into his designs.
Ieoh Ming Pei was born in Guangzhou, China on April 26, 1917. His father was a famous banker. In 1935, at the age of 17, he came to the United States to study architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1942, he entered the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
In 1964, Jacqueline Kennedy selected Pei to design the Kennedy library. After that he became well-known all of the world. People named it one of the Ten Best Buildings in the United States. In 1968, Pei started work on the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art, in Washington D.C.. Over one million people visited the building during its first 50 days in existence.
Following the East Wing project Pei's fame has continued to grow widely. In 1983, French President commissioned(委任) Pei to help make the Louvre more modern. Ten years later, the completion of Pei’s glass pyramid at the Louvre created a new historic landmark for Paris. Pei described it as, "the greatest challenge and greatest accomplishment of my career." At Fragrant Hill, a 300-room hotel in the Chinese capital, Pei has attempted to bring to his native China his often-quoted "third way of making buildings." Avoiding both a complete copying of traditional Chinese motifs(特色) as well as the modernism of the West, Pei has managed, at Fragrant Hill, to make one of his most eloquent(有說服力的) statements.
Pei has designed nearly 50 projects in the United States and abroad. About half of these projects have won major awards. Pei has been awarded the highest honors from nations over the world. In 1990, Pei was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President George Bush for his contributions to world peace and service to the US government.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings.
Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
小題1:Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A．Not an Enemy, but the Best FriendB．The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C．My FatherD．My Childhood
小題2: What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?
A．Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
B．She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
C．I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D．Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
小題3:Why did her father listen to her quietly?
A．Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
B．Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
C．Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D．Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
小題4:What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?
A．He told her not to pay any attention to what her“enemy” had said.
B．He criticized (批評) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.
C．He told her to write down all that her“enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.
D．He refused to take the list and have a look at it.
