【題目】Jack was born without eyes. He’s very lucky with his timing. He grew up having other kittens to play and socialize with, and was used to people from the moment he was born since there are always kids hanging around the barn. He was a favorite amongst the students at the barn. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up. That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one can take him.” Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.

When we first brought him home Jack stayed mostly in my room. He walked cautiously around, sniffing everything. After about a day he had no issues running around, jumping onto my bed and climbing on everything. He went through a time where he could climb the stairs, but couldn’t get down. He would sit at the top and cry until someone came and got him. Every now and then when he gets disoriented he’ll stop and cry. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.

Also, a few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new barn cat named Bear. I always take Jack outside at that time for some fresh air and exercise. He loves to run (at top speed!) around the back yard and gardens. Bear and Jack have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see, Jack always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They chase each other around and wrestle, and when they’re tired they’ll lie down in the grass together.

Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned a lot of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest, most playful of them all. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. Heck, for all he knows, all cats are just like him. People who know Jack don’t feel sorry for him. They cherish him for the treasure that he is. I have talked to a few people who haven’t met him personally who tend to pity him, but they just don’t understand. Jack doesn’t need pity. I think Jean (who has Gumbo the eyeless ginger) said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities, they have adaptabilities.

1According to the first paragraph, Jack __________.

A. got seriously disabled after birth

B. had a good time in the place where he was born

C. ended up wandering in the street at first

D. grew up lonely and sad

2When Jack first came to the authors house, he __________.

A. would cry when he felt lonely

B. was very happy and played wildly in the room

C. had difficulty getting down the stairs

D. always needed someone to guide him

3Which of the following has a similar meaning to the underlined word “disoriented”?

A. Hurt. B. Caught.

C. Lost. D. Broken.

4What can we conclude from the last paragraph?

A. Jack needs people’s pity.

B. All disabled cats have strong adaptabilities.

C. People always feel sad for Jack.

D. Jack’s story has inspired people.

【題目】The world seems gloomy(陰沉的)and gray when you’re feeling blue. In fact, being down might even affect how you perceive(感知)the color blue. A recent study about color was published in the journal Psychological Science. It shows a direct connection between a person’s ability to perceive color and their emotions.

Psychologists have long known that emotions can affect the way people perceive things. That’s in part because chemicals from your brain might affect how you process what you see. “Color is such an important part of our experience,” says lead author Christopher Thorstenson, a psychologist at the university of Rochester, in New York. There’s reason, he says, that sad people commonly describe the world as “colorless” and “gray”, and happy people use words like “bright” and “colorful”.

In the experiment, the researchers randomly assigned people to one of two groups. People in the “sadness” group watched a sad scene from The Lion King. Those in the “amusement’ group watched a comedy.

Everyone was then asked to look at red, yellow, green, and blue patches(斑點(diǎn))that had been changed to a grayish color. “Some of the patches are pretty difficulty to make out,” Thorstenson admits he says it takes some time to figure out their shade. People were scored on how accurate their color perception was. Then they completed an emotional evaluation.

The result? Sad people had a hard time seeing the difference between shades along the blue-yellow color axis(色軸). But they did no have problems seeing colors in the red-green spectrum(光譜). Thorstenson says this could be the result of an evolutionary need to see red as a response to anger.

Thorstenson says these results highlight the possible important of dopamine in sight. Dopamine is a chemical that sends signals to the brain. Researchers are hoping to focus more on dopamine in the future. “We know dopamine affects how we see colors, too,” Thorstenson says “How we feel can really influence how we see the world around us” he says.

1According to paragraph 2, how people describe the world reflects ________.

A. how they feel B. how they think

C. their world view D. their language skills

2In the experiment, the participants were asked to watch different programs so as to __________.

A. check their feelings B. influence their moods

C. develop their interests D. test their personalities

3Why were the patches made grayish in the experiment?

A. To make them look prettier

B. To make them hard to recognize

C. Because it changed the participants’ attitudes

D. Because it was good for the participants’ eyes

4Which color is easier to recognize for sad people?

A. Blue B. Yellow

C. Red D. Gray

【題目】請閱讀下面短文,并按照要求用英語寫一篇 150 詞左右的文章。

In China, Yang Zhiqiao is 77 and has retired. She does the Mickey Mouse costume in Luoyang, Henan Province to earn some pocket money from passers-by, which she saves for her son. “My son is 40 and is still single. I don’t want to be a burden to him. I want to help him financially so he can get a wife,” Yang says.

According to an unrelated news story, parents in a Beijing suburb are getting up at 5 am each day and standing in line for shuttle buses. The early birds have developed this habit not for themselves, but for their grown-up children, who work in downtown Beijing. The youngsters have to spend four or five hours each day commuting and their parents chip in插嘴by waiting in line for them so they can squeeze an extra half hour of sleep.

However, children in the US will leave their parents when they grow up. They want to find better jobs, so they usually live far away from their parents. They often write to their parents or call them. And they go to visit their parents during their holidays.

Parents will ask their children to do some work around their house. In many families children will get money for doing some housework so that they can learn to make money on their own. Parents usually let their children choose their own jobs. Americans think that for young people it is important to decide on their lives by themselves.
