     I just experienced a moment that turned my entire day around. I went to the cafeteria today
to buy my lunch. However, when I entered the line and was ready to take out money, I realized I
forgot to take the purse with me. I dug through different parts of my bag, looking for small
change. After a while, it became clear that, while I found most of the money I had, I was still
short of money to buy my lunch.
     I started looking around for people who may nicely lend me a little change. I thought about all
the time we passed people on the street and said that we didn't have anything to share. Would
that happen to me? I was too hungry to worry about it. Someone would help. I looked for one of
my friends in the cafeteria, but it was too early for any of them to take their lunch yet.
     A very friendly woman appeared in line in front of me. I asked her if she could spare 12 cents.
Instead, she suggested that I put my sandwich in her basket, and anything else I would like to
buy! I told her that I only needed the sandwich, and offered her the change I  had found.
However, she insisted on buying me the dinner.
     A woman joyfully paid for my entire meal and I was grateful. I learned from her that we
should give without expecting anything in turn, even "Thanks".
1. When the author wanted to buy her lunch, she found that _____.
A. she didn't have enough money with her

第三部分閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
“J.C.,” he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners.
“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.
“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”
56.   Owens got his other name “Jesse” when _____.
A. he went to Ohio State University     B. his teacher made fun of him
C. his teacher took “J. C.” for “Jesse”   D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet
57.   In the Big Ten meet, Owens _____.     
A. hurt himself in the back    B. succeeded in setting many records
C. tried every sports event but failed    D. had to give up some events
58.   We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because _____.
A. he was not of the right race      B. he was the son of a poor farmer
C. he didn’t shake hands with Hitler    
D. he didn’t talk to the US president on the phone
59.   When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years”, he means that the medals_____.
A. have been changed for money to help him live on
B. have made him famous in the US
C. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life
D. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs
60.   What would be the best title for the text?
A. Jesse Owens, a Great American Athlete
B. Making a Living as a Sportsman
C. Golden Moment — a Life Time Struggle
D. How to Be a Successful Athlete

While traveling abroad, Mr. Jackson Frank ran short of money. So he wrote to his brother, asking for $500. “Send the money by telegram,” he wrote, “to the Fisher Bank in P...”?After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. He showed his passport. “ Nothing has come for you,” he was told. This went on for two weeks and Mr. Frank got very worried. He sent a telegram to his brother， but there was no reply. In the fourth week Mr. Frank was arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill. His passport was taken from him. He tried to explain the problem, but no one believed him.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

From age eight to eleven, I attended a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class. However, sometimes the headmaster, Mr. Ronald Broaches, would come in and spend an hour or so, teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested. He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and would delight in telling the children small stories that would make us laugh. He was a very fair man and had a great influence on many of the children. In my own case, I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles. He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle already on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical. As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them. Not only that, they made me interested in math and problem solving that stays with me to this day. They also served to show me that intellectual activity was rewarding when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun. To this day, I can remember Mr. Broaches’ cheerful cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right. The simple communication with a man whom I loved greatly has had a deep influence on my life. I shall forever be thankful that our paths crossed. Mr. Broaches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Unluckily, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt later that he had heard of my success and I will always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.

56. There were ________ children in each class when Richard was in     the school in Bath, England.

   A. 4              B. 8           C. 11                  D. 25

57. From the text, we can learn that ___________.

   A. the puzzles made the students laugh

   B. the students were afraid of the headmaster

   C. the puzzles made Richard enjoy math

   D. the headmaster never taught in the school

58. The writer felt sorry because __________.

   A. Mr. Broaches had passed away before he won the Nobel Prize

   B. he didn’t express his thanks before Mr. Broaches died

   C. he couldn’t find Mr. Broaches after he grew up

   D. Mr. Broaches didn’t know his success

59. What is the best title（標(biāo)題）for the text ?

   A. The Story of Mr. Broaches.

   B. The Story of Richard J. Roberts.

   C. My Early School Life.

   D. An Important Teacher in My Life.

went to doctors; one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip, but neither helped.
He said, "My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大鉗子), and the jaws of the vice were being
drawn tighter and tighter." The tension of grief (悲傷)-if you have ever been paralyzed (使癱瘓) by

thinking.In my case, building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring.So I determined to keep busy."
     "The following night, I made a list of jobs that ought to be done.Scores of items needed to be repaired.  Amazingly, I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention.During the last two years I have
completed most of them.I am busy so that I have no time for worry."
