She handed me a five dollar bill through the car window, then turned and walked away. I don’t know her name, nor where she was going ,but I know I will never forget that stranger who generously saved me from a lot of frustration（挫折） and prevented me from walking a mile or more to my destination.
That day My husband, Leo, and I were already a half hour late for an important conference . We had taken the wrong fork in the expressway, and found ourselves stuck in traffic that was blocked for four miles due to a serious accident.
Just then, one tapped on the window on the passenger side. It was a short, medium-built woman, who was all bundled up in jacket and scarf, wearing jeans and boots. Surprised, I was reluctant, at first, to roll the window down. What could she possibly want? I lowered the window just enough to hear what the woman had to say. Through the window, she shoved a five dollar bill. “I don’t have change,” she said, “but here is an extra five dollar bill. Use it to pay for your parking spot.” I was floored! Was this woman, whom I’d never seen before, actually giving me this much money? Yes, that was exactly what she was doing! She wouldn’t take the check I offered her for the cash. She just walked away.

小題3:The underlined word “dejected” probably means        .

Yesterday was my stepmom’s birthday. I hadn’t been home for a long time so I wanted to stop by the house to see her on this special day.
I have been struggling financially so I was afraid of the long trip. Gas is so expensive nowadays! Anyway, I filled my tank with gas and set off.
I stopped at the shopping mall and found a present. It was the perfect gift and I knew she
would love it. But when I got to the cashier my card was declined! I did not have enough money in my account to pay for the gift!
So I pondered the issue for a few minutes. I could put it back and get something cheaper, but I knew there was nothing else in the store she would like as much. So, I got on my smart-phone and transferred some money from my savings account so I was able to pay for the gift. It took a big chunk of my savings but I wanted her to have something special.
She loved the gift and I felt that even though I had spent almost all my money my stepmom deserved the best and I was glad I gave her the best that I could.
Before leaving my parents’ house, my dad took me to one side and, with our secret hand-shake, he gave me some money. I had not said anything to him about my finances but I guess my dad had just known it. When I got to the car, I saw the amount he gave me was three times what I had spent on the gas and the gift!
It goes to show that doing the right thing always comes with great rewards.
小題1:Why was the writer unwilling to have a long trip？
A．Because gas was hardly available.B．Because the writer was short of money.
C．Because the writer didn’t like driving.D．Because the road was difficult to drive on.

A．thought aboutB．tried on
C．depended onD．got through
小題3:From the passage, we can infer that ________.
A．the writer loves his/her stepmom very much
B．the gift the writer bought was loved by his/her father very much
C．the writer spent all his/her savings buying the gift for his/her stepmom
D．the gift the writer bought was the most expensive one in the shop
小題4:Why did the writer’s father shake hands with the writer in secret?
A．Because he wanted to ask the writer for something special.
B．Because he wanted to give the writer some money.
C．Because he knew the writer had been struggling financially.
D．Because he didn’t want others to copy their handshake.

I suppose that having been brought up in the countryside and close  to animals，it wasn’t remarkable(不平常的)when I decided  to become a vet(獸醫(yī))．Luckily I was also good at all the necessary science subjects. So after the college entrance examination I found myself at a veterinary college，training to look after animals in all kinds of situations. I hoped that I would be able to work in the research field so that I could find cures for animal diseases.
Much to my surprise，I found public health care was a very important aspect of my course. This is an area of animal medicine where a vet’s work has many things in common with the work of a doctor of human diseases. I particularly liked it because I recognized that the study of animal diseases can help human medicine. As we know，many infectious diseases come from animals—including SARS and bird flu.
Some of the infections have only been understood after carefully analytical work in labs by animal doctors. They helped identify the animal source for diseases such as SARS. They were also the first to identify various kinds of viruses. Sometimes vets are also able to suggest a cure for human illnesses. When I found this out I was determined to make public health medicine my chosen career.
After graduation，I applied for a job in public health. Soon I found myself concerned with the problem of bird flu. This is  an illness that attacks birds，but humans can catch the disease  if they are in close contact with infected birds. Though the job  is dangerous，it makes me proud that vets and other animal  disease researchers are in the front line helping to fight these  unknown human diseases

A．it was both important and interesting
B．it could help him connect many human diseases with animals
C．it made a vet’s work very much like a doctor’s
D．it could help human medicine by studying animal diseases
小題3:What can be followed if this passage continues?
A．The writer’s happy family life.
B．How the writer did research work in studying bird flu.
C．How the writer dealt with the relationship with other workmates.
D．What difficulty the writer met in the research work.
小題4:Which of the following is implied in the passage?
A．Animals with infectious diseases should be killed.
B．Keeping animals is dangerous to humans.
C．Dangerous as a vet’s job is，it is significant to the human race.
D．Animal researchers work in the same way as human doctors.

A．Being a vet is helpful to both animals and humans.
B．Vets can cure both animals and humans.
C．Vets helped identify animal resources for SARS.

The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff they call “books”.
I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer. In fact I dared not.
The clock struck twelve.” Oh, !” I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite desperate(絕望的) now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.
小題1:When the author was going over his lessons, all the others in the house were____.

One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?”  Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug in his ear —maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk that he overlooked that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”
Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.
When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”
小題1:The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of_________.
A．a(chǎn) friend who is illB．a(chǎn) man working at his desk
C．a(chǎn) person having lost a close friendD．a(chǎn) stranger who looks somewhat worried
小題2:George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his________.
A．cheerfulnessB．clevernessC．a(chǎn)bilityD．politeness
小題3:The underlined ‘You’ve put a bug in his ear’ in the 1st paragraph means that you’ve _____.
A．made him laugh B．shown concern for him
C．made fun of himD．given him some kind of warning
