I was in a strange city I didn’t know at all, and what’s more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.   
小題1:From the story we know that the policeman______.  
A．was kind but didn’t understand the writer?
B．told the writer where to take a train
C．knew what the writer really meant
D．was cold-hearted and didn’t help the writer
小題2:What can we learn from the last paragraph?  
A．The writer got close to the hotel where he stayed.?
B．The writer got to the hotel with the policeman’s help.?
C．The writer found he was much farther away from the hotel.?
D．The writer found the hotel in the direction the policeman pointed.
小題3:In your opinion, what was the writer’s real trouble?  
A．He didn’t know the city at all.
B．He couldn’t speak the language.?
C．He went too far in the wrong bus.
D．He followed the policeman’s direction.

Short and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football, tennis,cricket — anything with a round ball, I was useless." he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England's rural Devonshire.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.
The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man's cold-water exploits (成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
Journeys to the Pole aren't the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. "John Ridgway was one of the few who didn't say, 'You are completely crazy,'" Saunders says.
In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter (遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.
Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.
This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.
小題1:The turning point in Saunders'life came when ________.
A．he started to play ball games
B．he got a mountain bike at age 15
C．he ran his first marathon at age 18
D．he started to receive Ridgway's training
小題2:We can learn from the text that Ridgway ________.
A．dismissed Saunders' dream as fantasy
B．built up his body together with Saunders
C．hired Saunders for his cold-water experience
D．won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic
小題3:What do we know about Saunders?
A．He once worked at a school in Scotland.
B．He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.
C．He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.
D．He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.
小題4:The underlined word "Intrigued" in the third paragraph probably means ________.
A．ExcitedB．ConvincedC．DelightedD．Fascinated
小題5:It can be inferred that Saunders' journey to the North Pole ________.
A．was accompanied by his old playmates
B．set a record in the North Pole expedition
C．was supported by other Arctic explorers
D．made him well-known in the 1960s

Before I started school, people felt that I was not going to be successful. At the age of four I started speech lessons because basically I could not speak well enough for anyone to understand me. The story goes downhill from here.
The first grade was a struggle. I not only had difficulty speaking, but also felt nervous about the fact that I was expected to learn to read and I just couldn’t do it. The second grade was not much better. I still struggled with the inability to read. It was in the third grade that the school district built a new school close to my home. I remember going there with my parents and helping to get the school ready so that we could move to the new one. However, things were still not much better as far as my schooling was concerned and did not get better for the next two years.
It was in the fifth grade. Mrs. Wakefield was my teacher, and if ever there was a teacher that deserved a gold star, it was her. She did not make me feel defeated. On the contrary, she did her best to let me know that I could be whatever I wanted to be. And that is just what I did.
For the past 22 years, I have been a fifth grade teacher. Because of Mrs. Wakefield’s influence on my life, I am now encouraging students who have had difficulties in their lives to believe that they can overcome any difficulty and become someone. I have won numerous awards up to now, such as Teacher of the Year. I owe it all to one fifth grade teacher who believed in me and challenged me to be all that I could be.
小題1:The writer ______ when he was in the third grade.
A．did better in readingB．began speech lessons
C．went to a new schoolD．received a high award
小題2:We can learn from the passage that the writer ______.
A．is a very successful teacher now
B．thinks teaching is a challenging job
C．has solved problems with his own effort
D．works in the same school with Mrs. Wakefield
小題3:What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To express his devotion to his work.
B．To show his respect to a special teacher.
C．To share his teaching experience with us.
D．To tell us his story of overcoming difficulties.

There was a boy who was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting (attracting) apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The  boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater, _36_ a bar of chocolate if given the choice, _37_, as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the _38_ he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
He stood on tiptoe, _39_as high as he could, but even at his tallest _40_he was unable to touch it. He began to _41_ up and down, as high as he could, at the _42_of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of _43_.
Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to _44_on.

He had tried everything he could think to do. _48_seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk_49_. At first, he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his _50_, and how he really wanted that apple. The more he _51_like this, the more unhappy he became.
_52_, the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t get what he wanted. He started to say to himself, “This isn’t_53_.I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling sad as well.

A few years ago, I moved into a new house in Los Angeles. Soon after, a family moved in next door. It wasn’t the best of times for me. I had just divorced(離婚) from my second wife, and I wasn’t working. I’d come home each day and sit by myself in the backyard. One night, I heard someone from the yard next door, “Tom ! How are you, Tom? ” 
I couldn’t see anybody through the trees, but I answered, “I’ m good.”
“Good!” said the voice.
“What’s your name?” I asked.
“Eric.” Then I heard someone say, “Eric, don’t bother him.”
“Okay!” Eric said. “Talk to you tomorrow!”                                                                           
Months later, on Halloween, we finally met face to face. Eric came to the door dressed like a rap star. We became friends.

One day, Alec called me and said, “I know you are an actor. My son’s an actor, too. And he’s very good. I want you to write a movie for him. He wants to do something like True lies.” That’s the movie I made in 1994. His father has given Eric the great gif of confidence. He believes he can do anything he wants.

I have recently completed my college degree. The last project was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out to smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake.
My husband, youngest son and I went out to McDonald. We were standing in line when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away. As I turned around I smelled a horrible body odour （氣味）and saw two poor homeless men standing behind me. As I looked at the short blue-eyed gentleman closest to me, he was “smiling”. The second man fumbled（摸索）with his hands as he stood behind his friend.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss,” because that was all they could afford.
Then I really felt it－I embraced（擁抱） the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked two more breakfast meals on and gave them to the men.
The blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.” When I sat down my husband smiled at me. We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that because of the good fortune that we had been given.
I turned in my project. My teacher said, “Can I share this?” I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings share this need to heal people and to be healed.
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s and every soul that heard the story in the classroom. But, I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn.
小題1:Why did people around the author in the McDonald step back?
A．Because they were very polite to the two men.
B．Because they were moved by the two men.
C．Because the two men smelt terrible.
D．Because the two men seemed unfriendly.
小題2:Why did the two men only buy coffee?
A．Because they didn’t have enough money.
B．Because they didn’t feel hungry.
C．Because they knew others would help them.
D．Because they were looked down upon.
小題3:How did the teacher think of the author’s project?
A．Hard to believe.B．Interesting to read.
C．Very puzzling.D．Very satisfying.
小題4:What did the author think she learn from the story?
A．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B．Helping others can bring pleasure to many people.
C．Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
D．Don’t judge people according to their appearance.

John Smith was a writer, who wrote detective stories for magazines（雜志）, though he never dealt with criminals（罪犯）. One evening he could not finish an end for a story. He sat in his study（書房）, but he had no ideas. So he decided to go to the cinema.
When he came back, he found that he had had a visitor. Someone had broken into his house. The visitor had had a drink, smoked several of his cigarettes and had read his story.
