You see I can't even write this properly. I can't read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that - everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness.

I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my father’s words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!” At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year.
When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the most “useful” and busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady. She was good at cooking. All her rrelatives liked the foodshe cooked. During “fairtime”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them.
Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no loner “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Granma in her house. We did our best to make her day-to-day life as comfortable as possible. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper’s crossword puzzle. However, she didn’t look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.
To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the Fair. One day, when I came back room school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked a lot much younger. She told me that her two nieces would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again.” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I’ve had in years!”
I suddenly realized that Grandma didn’t want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful”, appreciated and helpful.
小題1:Thousands of people came to the town to __________ at the Fair.
A．enjoy Grandma’s foodB．sell and buy things
C．learn to cookD．have a big party
小題2:Why was Grandma unhappy?
A.She was too busy.   B. No one lived with her.
B.She was not “useful”.  D. She couldn’t see anything
小題3:Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．Grandma was good at cooking
B．Many people moved to big cities.
C．Grandma didn’t like “Fairtime”
D．Grandma was a kind old lady.
小題4:What’s the best title for the passage?
A．FairtimeB．My “Old” Grandma
C．A Small TownD．Grandma’s Family

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Something that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is，not surprisingly，his sense of humor. As far as I can tell，he's the first American President to have one．
That's because the term“sense of humor” really wasn't in common usage until the eighteen-sixties and seventies．In the eighteen-forties and fifties，it was called“the sense of the ridiculous," and didn't have the positive connotations（隱含意義）that“sense of humor" has today. Back then，what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule（譏笑）．Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand．Of course，they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well．
Lincoln’s humor was very different because，for one thing，it was actually "humor＂as what the word meant in his time. We don't make the distinction between "wit（風(fēng)趣）”and "humor”anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did．Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic．It’s the difference we note now when we distinguish between "laughing with”and“l(fā)aughing at．”Lincoln was much more about "laughing with”than "laughing at．”And when“l(fā)aughing at，”it was often himself he was teasing.
In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates，when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced，Lincoln replied，referencing his plain looking，“Honestly，if I were two-faced，would I be showing you this one？”And，in a way，Lincoln's face itself tells us much about his sense of humor．
You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians，soldiers，and the like from Lincoln's time and not find a single smile．
True, the long exposures（曝光）required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult．Yet Lincoln alone，as far as I can tell，overcame that difficulty.
Interestingly, while having a sense of humor，or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time，in the nineteenth century，too much humor was considered problem.  And that was the case for Lincoln．A journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates commented that“I could not take a real personal liking to the man，owing to an inborn weakness. . .that he was extremely, fond of jokes，anecdotes，and stories．”
小題1:We can infer from Paragraph 2 that＿＿
A．the American President could influence the use of English
B．the term "sense of humor”wasn't invented until the 1860s
C．what is funny to someone might be offensive to someone else
D．the concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time
小題2:The underlined words“this one”in Paragraph 4 refer to＿＿．
A．Lincoln's unattractive face
B．Lincoln's sense of humor
C．the debate they were having
D．cruelty that went with funniness
小題3:We rarely see people from Lincoln's time wear smile in their photos because＿．
A．being humorous was considered inappropriate
B．they found it quite funny to smile before camera
C．not smiling for photographs was the fashion
D．photography technology then was not advanced
小題4:What might the writer think of the journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates？
A．His comment accurately reflected his time
B．He created a false picture of Lincoln
C．He was prejudiced and self-centered
D．He was brave to point out Lincoln's weakness

I knew I was all right now.  Nobody else would come a­hunting after me. I got my traps out of the canoe and made me a nice camp in the thick woods. I made a tent out of my blankets to put my things under so the rain couldn't get at them. I caught a catfish and towards sundown I started my camp fire and had supper.
When it was dark I sat by my camp fire, feeling pretty satisfied; but by and by it got sort of lonesome, so I went and sat on the bank and listened to the current crashing along, and counted the stars and drift logs and rafts that came down, and then went to bed; there was no better way to put in time when you are lonesome; you can't stay so, and you soon get it over.
And so for three days and nights. No difference—just the same thing. But the next day I went exploring around the island.  I was boss of it; it all belonged to me, and I wanted to know all about it; but mainly I wanted to spend the time. I found plenty of strawberries and green summer grapes; and the green blackberries were just beginning to show.
Well, I went fooling along in the deep woods till I judged I wasn't far from the foot of the island. I had my gun along, but I had shot nothing; it was for protection. About this time I almost stepped on a good­sized snake, and it moved quietly and smoothly through the grass and flowers, and I was after it, trying to get a shot at it. I clipped(疾馳) along, and all of a sudden I bounded(跳) right on to the ashes of a camp fire that was still smoking.
My heart jumped up among my lungs. I never waited to look further, but unlocked my gun and went sneaking back on my tiptoes as fast as I could. Every now and then I stopped a second among the thick leaves and listened, but my breath came so hard that I couldn't hear anything else. I moved quietly along another piece further, then listened again; and so on, and so on. If I saw a stump(樹樁), I took it for a man; if I stepped on a stick and broke it, it made me feel that a person had cut one of my breaths in two and I only got half, and the short half, too.
There was no time to be fooling around. When getting to the camp, I got all my traps into my canoe again to have them out of sight. I put out the fire and threw the ashes around to look like an old last year's camp, and then climbed a tree.
I suppose I was up for two hours; but I didn’t see or hear anything—I only thought I heard and saw as much as a thousand things. Well, I couldn’t stay up there forever, so at last I got down, but I kept in the thick woods and on the lookout all the time. All I could get to eat was berries and what was left over from breakfast.
小題1:The underlined part “put in time” in the second paragraph probably means _____.
A．kill the timeB．take the time
C．employ the timeD．waste the time
小題2:Why did the boy always carry his gun with him wherever he went?
A．To show off his gun.
B．To hunt some animals for food.
C．To protect himself.
D．To play with it for fun.
小題3:How did the boy feel when he saw the ashes of a camp fire that was still smoking?
A．Surprised. B．Excited.C．Frightened.D．Puzzled.
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The boy brought with himself a tent
B．The boy felt a bit lonely on the island.
C．The boy was surely the only person on the island at that time.
D．The boy might be bitten by some animal when the story happened.

One day, when I went shopping with Julie, we came across something special. Waiting in a long checkout line, I thought about going to another, which had the shortest queue. There was only one guy in it, but he was in a wheelchair. Well, we stepped in behind him. At first, he seemed to be having difficulty getting his groceries onto the checking desk. But after a while, I realized that what he was actually doing was separating them into two piles.
However, doing that job was no easy task in itself. I offered to help, but he and the checkout lady had it under control. He asked my wife if she would mind putting his empty basket away. What must it be like, I wondered, to be so dependent on other people like that? The checkout operator came around and gave him his change and the items he needed to have to hand. She hung one bag of groceries over a handle at the back of his chair. I offered to get the other, bigger, bag and he said, “No. But you could do me a favour. Take that lot along to the entrance and give it to Angela.”
As I was told, I did that, leaving Julie with our shopping. Angela, as turned out, was collecting food for people who might otherwise go hungry! I hadn't even noticed her before. This guy, despite the limitations that his physical condition imposed on him, had bought more than twice as much shopping as he needed – and given the bigger bag away to help other people! He didn't let the fact that he needed help stop him from being a help. He may have been limited physically, but his heart was more than capable of overcoming all that. And it changed my idea of dependence when I realized that the help he had given was more than the help he had received.
So … what’s holding the rest of us back?
小題1: From the first paragraph, we know that______.
A．the writer was obviously a disabled person
B．the man in a wheelchair was a shopper
C．the writer and Julie jumped the queue
D．only three people were shopping then
小題2: The man put the things he bought into two piles, probably because______.
A．his shopping bags were too small to hold all the groceries
B．he hoped to keep the balance of his wheelchair
C．he intended to help the people in need
D．it would be easy for him to carry
小題3: From the passage, we can learn that Angela was probably______.
A．the disabled person’s wife
B．the girl at the checking desk
C．a(chǎn) hungry and homeless beggar
D．a(chǎn) kind-hearted and helpful woman
小題4: Which of the following can best describe the man in the wheelchair?
A．kind, energetic and determined
B．positive, dependent and easy-going
C．a(chǎn)ctive, optimistic and open-minded
D．helpful, generous and strong-hearted
