When Ben Franklin was only a boy, he always wanted to know about things. He was always asking his father and brothers ‘What?’ and ‘How?’ and ‘Why?’

We often hear people talking about a generation gap (代溝). The name is new,but the idea is old. Young people and their parents don’t understand each other. The world has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, “Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”  There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened. “When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn’t have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. ”“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn’t know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn’t want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.” “Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They’re making people listen to them. I am proud of their generation.”
小題1: The wise man mentioned in the text told people to bury him on his face so   that when everything is turned upside down he will _____.
A．lie on his stomachB．lie on his back
C．stand quietlyD．sit in peace
小題2:Which generation did NOT want to do anything to make the world a better one?
A．Mr. Ellis’ generationB．His children’s generation
C．His grandchildren’s generationD．None of the above.
小題3: What is the writer’s attitude towards the generation gap?
A．Unacceptable.B．Awful.C．Funny.D．Common.

If we close our eyes, falling in deep______, we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a______ meaning.

Frank laughed as he tried to tear at the wrapping paper on his birthday present. He was so     ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball   _, Chuck Hart. While Hart was   for his poor sportsmanship and infamous   , he was a great player. In fact, Frank wasn't thinking about Hart’s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s      on the side of the box. The first indication that something was      came as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was      for his amazing work in the community.
Frank’s hands      ; his heart stopped. It wasn't that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think ?
They were the wrong shoes and Frank would be      by the other players. When he looked up into his dad’s eyes, however, Frank decided he     not tell him. “Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes,” Frank said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
The next morning his dad drove him to school. When they      in front of his destination, Frank slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
“Hey, Frank, wait a minute, look…” his dad said      ,“Frank, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a（n）     . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Frank’s feet, “is someone I      . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in     ?”
“No,” Frank said.
“Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a (n)      when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Frank ,      you were polite and made the best of it. You have such a good      , like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I’m hoping that someday, your name will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”
When Frank looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes      . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful      .

In the 1950s, a family that owned a farm near Beulah, Michigan kept a bull chained to an elm (榆樹). The bull paced around the tree, dragging the heavy iron chain, which led to a groove (槽) in the bark . The groove deepened over the years. Though for whatever reason, it did not kill the tree.
After some years, the family took their bull away. They cut the chain, leaving the loop around the tree and one link hanging down.
Then one year, agricultural disaster struck Michigan in the form of Dutch Elm Disease. All of the elms lining the road leading to the farm became infected and died. Everyone thought that the old elm would be the next.
The farm owners considered doing the safe thing: pulling it out and cutting it up into firewood before it died. But they simply could not bring themselves to do it. It was as if the old tree had become a family friend. So they decided to let nature take its course.
Amazingly, the tree did not die. Nobody could understand why it was the only elm still standing in the county!
Plant experts from Michigan State University came out to observe the tree. They observed the scar left by the iron chain, now almost completely covered by bark. The experts decided that it was the chain that saved the elm’s life. They reasoned that the tree must have absorbed so much iron from the chain that it became immune to the virus.
　It’s said that what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger. Or, as Earnest Hemingway put it, "Life breaks us all, but afterwards, many of us are strongest at the broken places."
小題1:What did the family do with the elm when the agricultural disaster hit Michigan one year?
A．They invited plant experts to observe it.
B．They pulled it out and chopped it up into firewood.
C．They prevented it from being infected by the disease.
D．They did nothing and just let it be.
小題2:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．A groove formed because of natural forces.
B．The family decided to keep the tree because they had become attached to it.
C．All of the elms in Beulah, Michigan died of the disease.
D．The plant experts advised the family to chop it down.
小題3:What actually saved the elm?
A．The bull.B．The groove.C．The iron chain.D．The experts.
小題4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Let nature take its course
B．Strengthened by our wounds
C．Constant dripping wears away a stone
D．Bend, but don’t break

A little boy went to a farmer who had some puppies (小狗）to sell and said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.” Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look.”
“Sure,” said the farmer. Then he called his dog, “Here, Dolly!”
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp(斜坡) ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight.
As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else moving inside the doghouse. Slowly, another little ball appeared. This one was much smaller than the others. Down the ramp it slid(滑行). Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began hobbling(蹣跚) toward the others, doing its best to catch up…
“I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the slow dog.
The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs will.”
With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of trousers. There was a steel brace(支架) running down both sides of his leg. It was joined to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, “You see, sir, I don’t run very well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”
The world is full of people who need someone who understands.
小題1: It can be inferred that “Dolly” in the passage was _______.
A．a(chǎn) mother dogB．the little boy’s name
C．the farmer’s sonD．one of the puppies
小題2:How many puppies did the farmer have in all?

Where we live，on the eastern shore of Maryland，the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.
The Canada geese know this place，as do the white swans and the ducks. In autumn，they come home for the winter. Once or twice each year，snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens，if the river is at its narrowest，there is a freeze which hardens the water to ice.
One morning，a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window，which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out，“There is a goose out there.”
We saw the figure of a large Canada goose，very still，its wings folded tight to its sides，its feet frozen into the ice.
Then from the dark skies，she saw a line of swans. They floated from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was on her feet now，with one hand against her mouth，unbelieving. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose，she feared that life it still had might be pecked(啄) out by those great swan bills.
Instead，those bills began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down，again and again. It went on for a long time. At last，the goose’s head was lifted. Its body was pulled. Then the goose was free and stood on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then，as if it had cried，“I cannot fly.” Four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice held in the feathers. Slowly，the goose spread its wings as far as they would go，and moved slowly into the sky.
This is a true story. I just think of it in the bad moment，and from it comes only one hopeful question：If so for birds，why not for man？
小題1:Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．Why Not for Man?B．Graceful Swans
C．Swans’ Brave ActD．I Just Couldn’t Believe It!
小題2:What happened to the Canada goose?
A．It was deserted by other geese.
B．It was stuck in the ice.
C．It was wounded and couldn’t fly.
D．It was lost in the water.
小題3:At first the author’s friend was worried that________.
A．the swans would not help the Canada goose
B．she didn’t care about this matter any more
C．the swans wouldn’t identify with the Canada goose
D．the swans would peck the Canada goose to death
小題4:What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldn’t fly?
A．They chipped off the ice held in its feathers.
B．They waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt.
C．They came down and lifted it up to the sky together.
D．They stayed with it and protected it.
