Comedian Groucho Mark said, “Those are my principles. If you don’t like them, I have others.”
You and I have principles and we also have  31 . I have opinions about what I think is right or wrong or good or bad. But they’re only opinions —I could be  32 ! I won’t try to build my life  around my opinions,  33  I’ll try to keep to my principles.
A 15-year-old boy learned a valuable  34 about life principles. One day, he found a wallet that 35 $127 as well as a woman’s  36 . He jumped onto his  37  and went to her house. He told her he found her wallet and she gave him a big  38 . She also gave him twenty dollars.
That evening the boy told his parents about the  39 and his father said, “I don’t think you should have  40  $20 for doing what you should have done. A person shouldn’t be rewarded for being  41 .”
He considered his father’s statement and  42 that he would return the money. He  43 biked to the lady’s home and gave her back the money. She didn’t want to  44 it, but he told her she had to — that his father  45  something to him that he had  46 realized before.
When ideals such as honesty and a personal standard of always doing the right thing guide our every action and decision, we  47 develop a good character. These great principles  48 our lives and make us into a person of  49 . They teach confidence. That boy is  50 to be raised by a wise father who had the wisdom to say, “Those are my principles.”

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

It's common for parents to feel emotional when the moment comes for their child to leave home and go to university. Even parents who don't speak about the event are likely to feel a sense of sadness because it’s the end of an era where you and your family were at the centre of your child's world. As a parent you’ll probably continue to support your child in different ways, but the main job of raising your child is over. It's a huge change for everyone involved.
There are a few things that you can do to make the transition easier. Plan carefully for your child's departure and think about how you can help. Many parents take their child to university for the first time. If you decide to do that, be ready to feel a real wrench when the time comes to say goodbye. Your child will probably be as nervous as you are about the moment when you finally say goodbye – but that might not show!
Be positive and cheerful about the choice your child has made to continue studying, and plan to leave once you've unpacked the car and looked around your child's new living accommodations. If you can, save your tears for the car – you'll make things easier on your child and yourself.
The more you've invested in being a parent, the more you'll feel a sense of loss, so the sadness you feel now is a sign that you've been a good mom or dad. Remind yourself that parenting is all about raising an independent and confident child who functions well without you. If your child quickly settles and starts enjoying himself, you should congratulate yourself.
It's also only fair to allow yourself some time to grieve(悲痛). Don't expect to pick yourself up and move on straight away. But you may decide to find a hobby or sport to fill your extra time. Perhaps you've always wanted to learn a new language, go to yoga classes or take up swimming. You may decide to spend more time with family and close friends, who are likely to be feeling the absence of your child as well.
Agree on the best approach to staying in touch before your child leaves, and stick to your agreement. Try not to panic if your child doesn't respond immediately – remember, they're starting a new and busy life.
小題1:Why do parents feel sad when their child leaves home for college?
A．Because the absence of their child makes them feel lonely.
B．Because their children will start a new life in college.
C．Because it means the end of love between parents and their child.
D．Because they are no longer the main focus of their children’s life.
小題2:The underlined word “wrench” in Paragraph 2 means a feeling of ________.
A．sorrowB．regret C．a(chǎn)ngerD．love
小題3:What does good parenting consist of?
A．Supporting your child in different ways all the time.
B．Congratulating yourself when your child goes to college.
C．Preparing your child to stand on their own feet in the future.
D．Investing as much as possible in the growth of your child.
小題4:What’s NOT advised as the way to recover from your child’s departure?
A．Developing a new hobby or sport
B．Learning a new language.
C．Spending more time with close friends
D．Staying in touch with your child.
小題5:What would be an appropriate title for the whole passage?
A．Staying in Touch with Your Child
B．Preparing to Say Goodbye to Your Child
C．Dealing with Your Child Leaving Home for University
D．Life after Your Child Has Left Home for University

Which comes first, happiness or money? Are richer people happier? And if so, how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer.
The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29. Those who were happiest earned an average of $8,000 more than those who were the most depressed.
The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.
Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life. It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking.
A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness. In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women, Alas （the same gene doesn’t appear to have the same effect on men）. And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.
The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework? The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show, after all, that more education leads to better-paid jobs, which may give us a deep thought.
“These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success,” one of the report’s authors writes. “But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork.”
小題1:What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study?
A．Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.
B．Money can make people become happier.
C．Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.
D．Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.
小題2:The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that ________.
A．they are easy to communicate with others
B．they are good at doing their schoolwork
C．they are hopeful and optimistic about their life
D．they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day
小題3:The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A．upsetB．gloriousC．happyD．wealthy
小題4:What can be the best title for the text?
A．The way to educate kids.B．The source of happiness.
C．How to achieve your goal.D．The secret of being wealthier.

My grandparents built and lived in a small 600-square-foot cottage for most of their adult lives. They actively practiced living a   21  life.

Over the years my grandparents noticed   25  changes in their community. Every year more farmland was   26  to build larger and larger homes. With houses’ prices   27 , many of their neighbors sold their little homes and lands.   28  only their small house was still on the block, surrounded by a sea of tall buildings.

　　In many ways, I’ve modeled my life after my grandparents. Through their example I learned an important   31  : It is absolutely possible to live a small and fulfilling life.
　　My grandparents lived in a small home, but they owned a(n)   32  garden.

They said, “  35   you live in a small home or an apartment, you don’t have to give up gardening.”
My grandparents avoided lifestyle creep(攀比) by paying for their own home in cash and building it themselves. They also recycled and   36  everything. For instance, they drove the same car for over 15 years and didn’t buy anything new until their stuff was   37  worn out.
My grandparents taught me that living well on   38  isn’t about feeling bad for myself.   39 , it’s about giving yourself the time, freedom, and money to seek your dreams. You know: Becoming debt free, living in a smaller home, and others are a few ways to   40  your life.

Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(懷舊). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we ran remember pain, live, and some other experiences; We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.
If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween-when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime - waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.
Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm home.
