When your family travels or is away from its usual eating and sleeping routines, probably someone will get sick. It can take time to adapt to the food, water and air in a new environment, and kids can be especially __________________________ travel-related problems, including motion sickness, diarrhea（腹瀉），and infections（傳染病）.
Motion sickness is caused by a disagreement between the eyes and ears: the inner ears notice movement. But the eyes, focused within a car or other vehicles, do not. These different signals coming into the brain cause a lot of problems such as sickness, dizziness, paleness, and cold sweats. Motion sickness often happens on ships and boats, but it can also affect kids when they travel in planes, buses, and cars. Here are some ways to help kids fight motion sickness:
★Before you leave, have your child eat a light meal, as motion sickness seems worse on an empty stomach. Provide foods that are easily digested and avoid fatty foods.
★Try to avoid eating during short trips. For longer trips, have a small amount of drinks and eat light, small meals and snacks.
★If your child is feeling sick, provide some mild foods, like crackers（超薄餅干）.
★Encourage kids to look outside the car, rather than inside. They should focus on still objects---not moving ones---or a far point.
★Keep the window open a little to allow fresh air in.
★Use a headrest to reduce head movement.
★Make frequent stops, if your child complains of feeling sick and it’s safe to stop, a short walk for some fresh air might help.

Teresa was born in Yugoslavia on August 27,1910. Her parents were Albanians(阿爾巴尼亞人) and member of the Roman Catholic Church. When she was seven years old, her father was murdered. She decided not to be filled with hate because of this tragedy(悲劇). Instead, she would seek a life of love. This ambition led her to Ireland where she became a nun(修女) at the age of eighteen.
After only one year of training, she was sent to India to teach in a school called Loretto House, where the students were mostly from rich Indian families. After 15 years there, she left her duties as a teacher to “follow Christ into the slums(貧民窟).” Her heart led her away from the rich to the needs of the poor. She was then 36 years old.
Teresa no longer was affiliated(隸屬) with the Irish nuns who sent her to Loreto House but worked independently. However, her work was recognised by the Pope in Rome for she still was a nun. He allowed her to set up her own group, which was called the Missionaries of Charity(仁愛傳教修女會).
She no longer dressed as a nun in the European or Irish tradition. Instead, she put on a sari, the local dress of the Indian people. At first, people were sceptical(懷疑的) about her motives. Soon, they realised she was really interested in loving poor people, even those who were dying and had no chance of survival.
Soon, other Indian people began to spare time to help Mother Teresa. She had taught everyone that the poor and dying people need love most of all.
In 1979, she won the Nobel Peace Prize.
小題1:Why did Mother Teresa become a nun?
A．Her father was killed.B．The hate of her father’s death.
C．She was looking for a life of love.D．The poor life of her childhood.
小題2:Why did she leave her duties as a teacher after 15 years in Loretto House?
A．To be a teacher was too tiredB．The students in Loretto House were rich.
C．She was tired of teaching.D．The poor in the slums needed her care.
小題3:Which of the following is WRONG?
A．Mother Teresa was a Catholic.
B．“Sari” is an Indian word that means clothing.
C．At first people didn’t believe her motives.
D．She served poor people in the slums as a teacher.

C
Last Sep.11 was an important day too. After unknown gunmen attacked aid workers from the Nobel Prize-winning Medecins sans Frontieres at a roadblock on that day , most of the international aid groups helping Darfur’s 6 million people stopped using the roads . On Dec.18 , unknown gunmen attacked the southern town of Gereida. More than 70 aid workers then pulled out of the refugee(難民) camp there—Darfur’s largest, with 130,000 people —leaving only 10 Red Cross employees behind. Yet at the time no one said what had really caused the sudden pullbacks.
Damaging has become surprisingly common in Darfur, where 200,000 Africans have been killed and a third of the population have been sent fleeing into camps in three years of war. But the attacks on international aid workers suggested a dramatic and dangerous start—to attack on purpose those helping to keep Darfur’s millions of refugee alive. A dozen people from foreign NGOs (non－governmental organizations) have been killed in just the past six months , more than previous years. There are about 14,000 aid workers in Darfur now , the majority of them Sudanese, working for foreign NGOs and U.N. agencies and delivering $1 billion a year in aid . Just a few more terrible attacks could throw that into jeopardy. Last week 14 U.N. offices working in Darfur made a clear warning that “the humanitarian (人道主義) organization cannot possibly make certain the survival of the population Darfur if aid workers don’t feel safe. ”
64．What made Sept．11 an important day according to the passage?
A．Two World Trade Center buildings were destroyed in the USA．
B．International aid workers were attacked in Darfur．
C．A fight happened between the international aid workers and some unknown gunmen in Darfur．
D．International aid groups stopped their help to Darfur．
65．Which of the following shows a picture of Darfur?
A．Darfur has been in war since the last Sept．11．
B．Many people in Datfur are homeless because of the war．
C．Darfur will not get help from organizations including the UN．
D．International aid groups have never been attacked before．
66．The underlined word“jeopardy”in the last paragraph most probably means     ．
A．light                   B．practice              C．danger            D．effect   
67．Which of the following can be the tide of the passage?
A．People in        Darfur        B．International Aid Groups in Danger
C．War in Darfur                D．International Aid to Darfur

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題紙上將該項標(biāo)號涂黑。
A
TV Shows and Long Bus Trips
Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end-with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good’n Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed-new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless（不計后果的） or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with you legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the am rests---even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.
61． According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?
A．buses on the road.    B．films on television.
C．a(chǎn)dvertisements on the board.   D．gas stations.
62．What is the purpose of this passage?
A．To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.
B．To persuade you to take a long bus trip.
C．To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.
D．To describe the billboards along the road.
63．The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because                     .
A．the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun
B．they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between
C．the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses
D．both traveling and watching TV are not exciting
64．Why does the writer think that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning?
A．Because both are exciting.       B．Because both are comfortable.
C．Because both are tiring.    D．Because both are boring.
