A kindergarten teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she cannot forgive（寬恕）.
So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3, while some had up to 5 potatoes.
The teacher then told the children to carry the potatoes with them wherever they go (even to the toilet) for one week. With days passing by, the children started to complain because of the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten (腐爛) potatoes they were carrying.
Those children who have 5 potatoes really began to feel the weight of the heavier bags. After one week, the children were happy to hear that the teacher had finally ended the game. The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for one week?" The children started complaining of the trouble that they had to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred（仇恨）for somebody inside your heart. The burden（負擔）of hatred will pollute your heart and you will end up carrying an unnecessary burden with you wherever you go.
If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what a burden it would be to have the hatred in your heart for your lifetime?"
小題1:According to the teacher, if a Child hates three persons, he or she needs to carry ________.
A．one potato B．two potatoesC．three potatoesD．four potatoes
小題2:The underlined word “tolerate ” in the last paragraph probably means _____________.
A．carry B．hate C．receive D．stand
小題3:In fact, the teacher wants to ______________.
A．play a game with the students B．teach the students a lesson
C．make the students more tired D．play jokes on the students
小題4:What is the main idea of the story?
A．It’s best to learn to forgive and forget.
B．Students should love people around them.
C．Children should carry less rotten potatoes.
D．Rotten potatoes are really a heavy burden.

Lexi Peters, a 14-year-old girl in New York, loves hockey. She’s not only good at playing on her after-school team, but also at playing hockey video games. But when Peters played the popular NHL (National Hockey League) games made by Electronic Arts, something really bothered her. The virtual (虛擬的) character in the game could only be a boy — not a girl.
She didn’t think that was reasonable. There must be many girls playing hockey in the US. So she wrote a letter to Electronic Arts.
“Being represented by a man is unfair to women and girl hockey players,” Peters wrote. “Women’s hockey is a fast-growing sport. I am confident that I’m not the only woman interested in the opportunity to create herself in the game.”
Several weeks later, Peters received an unexpected e-mail from the senior producer for EA Sports’ NHL games, David Littman. “Hi, Lexi,” the e-mail began. “We agree with you!”
Electronic Arts said it would create a female player in the game. “I was thinking you could be the model,” Littman wrote. Peters almost couldn’t believe it. Later, she sent photos of herself taken at all different angles (角度).
And so, when Electronic Arts released the newest version of their game, NHL 12, this fall, Peters was the face of the female player. She can now skate with the NHL’s great players. “It’s strange at first, but you get used to it,” said Peters. “It’s really funny and cool.”
For Peters, there is also an important lesson that she will take with her the rest of her life. “If you have something to say, and you think it’s important, go for it!” she said.
小題1:What bothered Peters when playing NHL games?
A．There was no girl character in the game.
B．The characters were not real at all.
C．No girls would like to play the game.
D．It was not like playing real hockey games.
小題2:According to Peters’ letter, we can know that ________.
A．girls were not allowed to play hockey in the past
B．female players can be represented by men
C．boys don’t like to play hockey with girls
D．more and more girls are interested in hockey
小題3:What was David Littman’s opinion of Peters’ letter?
A．He ignored it.B．He disliked it.
C．He agreed to it.D．He voted against it.
小題4:Peters’ experience tells us that we should ________.
A．enjoy the fun of being a model
B．do what you think important to do
C．work hard to get used to any new situation
D．think about problems from different angles

I was doing some Christmas shopping in a toy store and decided to look at Barbie dolls for my nieces. A nicely dressed little girl was excitedly looking through the Barbie dolls as well. As she was looking, a little boy came to the Pokemon toys. He was dressed neatly, but his clothes were obviously old. He was with his father as well, and kept picking up the Pokemon video toys. Each time he picked one up and looked at his father, his father shook his head and said, “No.”

The little girl had chosen her Barbie. However, she stopped and was watching them. Rather dejectedly, the boy had to give up the Pokemon toys and choose something else. The little girl put her Barbie back on the shelf, and ran over to the Pokemon toys. She excitedly picked up one and raced towards the checkout. I picked up my purchases and got in line behind them. Then, much to the little girl’s delight, the little boy and his father got in line behind me. After the toy was paid for and bagged, the little girl handed it back to the cashier (收銀員) and whispered something in her ear. The casher smiled and put the package under the counter.
I paid for my purchases and was rearranging things when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier checked his purchases and said, “Congratulations, you are my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize!” With that, she handed the little boy the Pokemon toys, and he could only stare in surprise. It was exactly what he had wanted!
The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway during all of this. Then they walked out. As I walked back to my car, I heard the father ask his daughter why she had done that. I’ll never forget what she said to him. “Daddy, didn’t Grandparents want me to buy something that would make me happy?” He said, “Of course they did, honey.” To which the little girl replied, “Well, I just did!”
I feel very shocked to have witnessed the true spirit of Christmas in that toy store, in the form of a little girl who understands more about the meaning of this festival than most adults I know.
小題1:The underlined word “dejectedly” in the second paragraph probably means _____.
A．delightedlyB．disappointedlyC．excitedlyD．unexpectedly
小題2:How did the little boy get the Pokemon toys?
A．His father bought him the Poknemon toys.
B．Fortunately, he was the hundredth customer and won the Poknemon toys.
C．The cashier felt sympathy for the little boy and gave him the Poknemon toys.
D．The little girl bought the Poknemon toys for him.
小題3:What did the little girl mean when saying “Daddy, didn’t Grandparents want me to buy something that would make me happy?”
A．Her Grandparents wanted her to be happy.
B．Making the little boy happy made her happy.
C．The Poknemon toys made her happy.
D．Her Grandparents hoped that she could help others.
小題4:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．the story happened before Christmas.
B．The little boy had not enough money to buy the Poknemon toys.
C．Although the little girl liked the Poknemon toys very much, she gave them to the boy.
D．The author was deeply moved by the behavior of the little girl.

I was with a group of businessmen, and we were dealing with a question—What is a good person?
At a certain point during the discussion, one of the students—a young man of about thirty—described an event that happened at Christmas. He and his five-year-old son were decorating the Christmas tree, and a little boy came to the front door begging. If you ever visit Mexico, you will see that the people there take begging as nothing to get upset about and nothing to get embarrassed by.
So, this little boy came to the door, a boy about the same age as my student’s son. The father and the son went to the front door, and the father went back with his five-year-old son and said to him, “Give him one of your toys.” At the words, the little boy quickly picked up some toy, and his father said to him, “No, no－give him your favorite toy.”
And the little boy, like a little tiger, said, “No way!” He cried; he refused. But the father, like a big tiger in a way, insisted gently, “No, you must give him one of your favorite toys.”
And finally the boy, with his head down, picked up a toy he had just gotten. The father waited in the living room, and the boy walked to the front door with the toy in his hand. The father waited and waited.
What do you think happened?
After a couple of minutes, his son came running back into the living room, his face radiant (喜氣洋洋). “Daddy,” he said, “can I do that again?”
I think I have got the answer to the question.
小題1:From the passage, we can learn that in Mexico ________.
A．begging is looked down upon
B．begging is considered as a normal part of life
C．visitors all over the world treat beggars kindly
D．few people are living a poor life
小題2:The sentence “can I do that again?” showed that the boy ________.
