While   46  his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but feeling something   47 , he bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin.
He was   48 , and looked at the coin again and again. He then looked around   49  on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and began to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was   50  on finding the other coin.
　　His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his   51 , looked up to heaven and preyed, He spoke of his wife, sick and   52 , and his children without bread. The timely giving, from some unknown hand, would   53  from dying.
　　The student was moved and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the professor, “are you not much better pleased than if you had played your   54  trick?”
The youth replied, “Thank you! Sir! I feel now the   55  of those words, which I never understood before: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’

I must admit that his performance was 40 . He had both hands on the wheel. His eyes never left the highway and his handling was far better than I’d ever imagined it would be, 41 it still needed improving.
Several 42 ago, I was teaching him to ride his bike. We started 43 . The third grade primary school student was 44 that his training wheels were taken off. Of course it was a long evening. He 45 several times but always got up quickly and kept 46 until he mastered riding.
Viewing the 47 , I guess it really wasn’t about him driving. It was about him 48 ---gaining more and more independence; not 49 me so much anymore.
He will be a(n) 50 in high school this fall. This will truly be a 51 year for both of us. He’s ready to have one of the best years of his young life and I will have (a) complete mental 52 . For this is probably the last year that my baby will be at home on a(n) 53 basis.
After this school year, he’ll go to college and then into the real world. Things all happen so 54  .
Now I see the time has just arrived for him to perform what he’s learned.
So, I guess you could say his driving lessons are lessons for me too. Yes, I’m being 55  that it’s his time to drive through life’s green lights and move towards his future as smoothly and skillfully as possible.

The day my fiancé fell to his death, it started to snow, just like the bottom hadn’t fallen out of my world when he fell off the roof. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up.
One morning, I shuffled(拖著腳步走) downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow(掃雪機(jī)) clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room, and back upstairs so those good Samaritans would not see me. I was mortified. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair, let alone shovel someone’s walk.
Before Jon’s death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors. I defined myself by my competence and independence. How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch everyday and watch the snow fall?
Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried because I couldn’t even help them set the table. “I’m not usually this lazy,” I swept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, “Mary, cooking for you is not a burden. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over, I heard similar words of comfort from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your grief may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
In many ways I have changed for the better. I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole.
小題1:What made the author feel sad?
A．Her fiancé’s sudden death.B．Constant heavy snow.
C．Her fiancé abandoning her.D．Her job being refused again.
小題2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mortified” in Paragraph 1?
A．Surprised.B．Angry.C．Ashamed.D．Moved.
小題3:It is _______ that helped the author out of darkness.
A．herselfB．her friendsC．her fiancéD．a(chǎn) snowplow
小題4:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．The author was a capable and independent woman.
B．The author was so lazy that she wouldn’t shovel the walk.
C．Finally the author got through hardest work bravely.
D．When facing the worst fear, you will get strength.
小題5:What’s the author’s purpose in the passage?
A．To talk about her hardest work in her life.
B．To talk about her real love between her and her fiancé.
C．To tell us to walk out of hardest work confidently and bravely.
D．To tell us the importance of friendship.

It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Capitan, a huge mass of rock almost three-quarters of a mile high in California’s beautiful Yosemite Valley. It had been Mark’s dream to climb El Capitan for as long as he could remember. But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it?
Mark knew he couldn’t finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter, an expert rock climber, would be there to lend a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top.
Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered a piton(巖釘) into the rock. Fastening one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton, he let one end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with a special instrument. This instrument would allow Mark to move upward, but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-shaped bar to the rope, using the same kind of instrument.
Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first of the 7, 000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above, Peter let out a cheer. “You’re on your way.”
Seven years before, at the age of twenty-one, Mark had fallen while mountain climbing, injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs, but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit.
For the first four days the two men progressed steadily upward without incident. But on the fifth day an unbearably hot wind began to blow, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger, causing Mark to sway(搖擺) violently on his rope. But Mark kept on determinedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that, he had to admit that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.
It took them one day more than they had expected, but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afternoon, the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman had shown that if you set your heart and mind on a goal, no wall is too high, no dream impossible.
小題1:What had Mark Wellman long desired to do?
A．To finish one of the most difficult rock climbs in the world.
B．To be the first to climb El Capitan.
C．To climb the highest mountain in California.
D．To help his friend Peter climb El Capitan.
小題2:How did Mark climb the mountain?
A．He fastened the rope to his wheelchair.
B．He hammered in pitons so that he had something to hold on to.
C．He held on to the T-bar and Peter pulled him up.
D．He pulled himself up using a T-bar and special equipment.
小題3: How did Mark lose the use of his legs?
A．He lost his footing and fell from the side of a mountain.
B．He fell during his first attempt on El Capitan.
C．His legs were broken by falling rocks.
D．While working out in the gym, he injured his backbone.
小題4:What was the worst problem Mark had during the climb?
A．He struck against the rock and hurt his arms.
B．A strong wind blew him away from the rock.
C．He kept falling several inches.
D．While swaying in space, he became terrified.
小題5:How did Mark react to difficulties during the climb?
A．He admitted that he was frightened.
B．He often worried about his friend’s condition.
C．He was able to remain clam and determined.
D．He was joking to cheer himself up.

Life is too short to waste a moment, so while you still have time, let your hair down, remove that “boring” tag in your so-called life and start making it worthwhile. Below are some tips that will help you live a wonderful life.
1. Keep a Positive Attitude. Enjoy what you have and work on getting the things you desire. Psychologists believe that optimism (樂觀主義) is a good defense against unhappiness, so it is better to keep your optimism alive. Feeling sad about your life will only make you sadder, so be happy.
2. Don’t Be Afraid to Take Risks. Life is all about taking risks, and that’s the exciting part of it. Challenges and failure are part of life. Once you learn how to take risks, you’ll soon realize how good it feels not to let moments pass you by.
3. ... You only have one life, so make it worthwhile. Being unwilling to let the past go just keeps you away from the things you should be enjoying at the present.
4. List the Things You Want to Do. Stop lazing around and give yourself something to be busy with. Write down a list of all the things you want to do and make a timeline, not to stress you out, but to remind you of your goals. So don’t put limits to yourself because you’ll never know what may happen.]
5. Try Out Something New. Getting into something or trying something unfamiliar to you may seem scary, but nothing can make you feel happier than being able to overcome your fear. Who knows? You might enjoy it! The world is a big place and there are still lots of things waiting to be explored by you. Go to a foreign place where you know no one.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

My students often tell me that they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork.
My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president.” I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.
Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “That’s irrelevant (無關(guān)的). What’s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker” dodge (訣竅), and I have come to some conclusions — all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.
If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that’s important.
That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office: “Don’t work harder. Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea.
If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”.
Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.
小題1:.
From the passage, we know that the author is probably ______ .
A．a(chǎn) poetB．a(chǎn)n educatorC．a(chǎn) novelistD．a(chǎn)n engineer
小題2:.
We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still _____ .
A．have enough timeB．can meet the president
C．get everything done wellD．should accept the explanation
小題3:.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The author’s students make good use of their time to do all their homework.
B．The author tried to tell the professor that he/she (author) had done a good job.
C．You can’t improve the quality of the work if you can’t get more time.
D．You’ll try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you’re a clever student.
小題4:.
What’s the passage mainly about?
A．Students don’t have enough time.B．Don’t work harder; work smarter.
C．No one can get more time.D．Read better and write better.

As I sat beside the window of our classroom that afternoon, my heart sank further with each passing car. This was a day I’d looked forward to for weeks: Miss Pace’s fourth-grade, end-of-the-year party.
I had happily volunteered my mother when Miss Pace looked for cookie volunteers. Mom’s chocolate chips were well-known, and I knew they’d be a hit with my classmates. But two o’clock passed, and there was no sign of her. Most of the other mothers had already come and gone, dropping off their sweet offerings.
The three o’clock bell soon took me away from my thoughts and I took my book bag from my desk.
I decided I would slam the front door, and refuse to return her hug. But when I arrived, she wasn’t at home.
I was lying face-down on my bed upstairs when I heard her come through the front door.
“Robbie,” she called out a bit urgently. “Where are you?”
I could then hear her rushing anxiously from room to room, wondering where I could be. I remained silent.
Coming through the door, she said: “I’m so sorry, honey,” she said. “I just forgot. I got busy and forgot.”
Then my mother did something completely unexpected. She began to laugh! How could she laugh at a time like this? I rolled over and faced her, ready to let her see my rage (憤怒).
But my mother wasn’t laughing at all. She was crying. “I’m so sorry,” she said. “I let you down. I let my little boy down.”
I was moved by her tears.
I tried to remember her kind words from times past when I’d skinned knees or cut myself, times when she knew just the right thing to say.
“It’s okay, Mom. We didn’t even need those cookies. There was plenty of stuff to eat. Don’t cry. It’s all right. Really.”
We didn’t say another word. We just held each other. When we came to the point where I would usually pull away, I decided that, this time, I could hold on, perhaps, just a little bit longer.
小題1:. The author was pretty down because ______.
A．he couldn’t go to the party he had been looking forward to
B．his mother didn’t turn up at the party as she had promised
C．his mother had refused to make chocolate chips for the party
D．the cookies his mom made was not popular at the party
小題2:. When the author returned home, ______.
A．he was so angry that he slammed the front door
B．he was silent and refused to return his mother’s hug
C．he rushed from room to room looking for his mother
D．he was disappointed that he couldn’t express his anger to his mother
小題3:. We can tell from the story that _____.
A．the mother didn’t get to the party because of the traffic jam
B．the mother was sorry for her absence and laughed at herself
C．the author was a caring and thoughtful boy
D．the author was overcome with anger
小題4:. The article expresses the message that ______.
A．it is silly to be angry with your family
B．everybody should keep his or her promises
C．true love is based on understanding
D．understanding how to comfort people in low spirits is a true skill
