【題目】閱讀理解
When I was a boy, I was always happy to see those little brown coins. After years I was still very happy to pick up pennies on the ground, I usually saved them up. I usually bought a pack of gum or a bag or chips when it was enough. After growing up, I hears a story about coins. It was said that our loved people sometimes would leave pennies on the ground in front of us. People wanted to show us that we were loved and watched over kindly. I never doubted that story even as an adult. It is difficult for me to find a lot of money on the ground, but pennies are there all the time. Maybe that is why I still enjoy seeing them and picking them up, no matter how dirty or old they are.
A few months ago, I was walking to the local post office to mail a letter. As I entered the room, I saw not one, not two, but four pennies shining in the sunlight. I smiled and picked them up. I kept them in my hands as I walked in the post office. “Four is Ok,” an office said to a lady. The lady began searching her purse. Her face went red. I understood what had happened. I laughed to myself at this surprising moment. I placed my pennies on the desk before her. The smile I got in return was worth a thousand dollars.
The coins weren't so valuable to me, but they did matter to her. I just performed a little kindness. I was happy.

A.A set of storybooks

D.A bag of sugar
(2)When grown up, the author.

B.Every coin should be used to buy important things
C.We should look for coins when we are walking
D.Pay more attention to what you hear from now on

【題目】語法填空
High in thick bamboo forests in the misty, (rain) mountains of southwestern China (live) one of the world's rarest mammals: the giant panda, also called the panda, Only about 1,000 of these black-and-white (relative) of bears survive in the wild.
Pandas eat almost nothing bamboo shoots and leaves. (occasion) they eat other plants, fish, or small animals, but bamboo accounts for 99% of their diets.
Pandas eat fast; they eat lot, and they spend about 12 hours a day (do) it. The reason is they digest only about a fifth of what they eat. Overall, bamboo is not very nutritious. To stay healthy, they have to eat a lot-up to 15 percent of their body weight in 12 hours-so they eat fast.
Pandas' molars(臼齒) are very broad and flat. The shape of these teeth helps the animals crush the bamboo shoots, leaves, and stems they eat to get the bamboo to their mouths, hold the stems with their front claws, which have enlarged wrist bones that act as thumbs for grasping things. A panda should have at least two bamboo species where it lives, or it will starve. Pandas are shy; they don't go into areas people live. This restricts pandas to very limited areas.

【題目】閱讀理解The Square
Jack Dorsey, the co-inventor of Twitter, is promoting his latest invention called the Square. The square is a small plug-in attachment to your mobile phone that allows you to receive credit card payments.
The idea starting from Dorsey's friend Jim McKelvey who was unable to sell some glass work to a customer because he couldn't accept a particular card being used.
Accepting credit card payments for something you're selling isn't always easy, especially if you are mobile like a tradesman, or delivery service at a trade show.
This latest invention uses a small scanner that plugs into the audio input item on a mobile device. It reads information on a credit card when it is swiped(刷卡). The information is not stored on the device but sent over secure channels to banks. It basically makes any mobile phone a cash register for accepting card payments.
As a payer, you receive a receipt via email that can be instantly accessed securely online. You can also use a text message to authorize payment in real time. Retailers can create a payer account for their customers which speeds the payment process. For example, a cardholder can assign a photo to their card so their photo will appear on the phone for visual identity confirmation. Mobile devices with touch screens will also allow you to sign for goods.
There are no contracts, monthly fees, or hidden costs to accept card payments using Square and it is expected the plug-in attachment will also be free of charge.
As with Twitter, it's expected that Dorsey will direct the company based upon feedback from users. Square Inc. has offices in San Francisco, Saint Louis and New York and is currently beta testing the invention with retailers in the United States.
(1)Why is Jack Dorsey promoting his latest invention?
A.To test a plug-in attachment.
B.To identify a particular credit card.
C.To sell some glass work to a customer.
D.To allow people to receive credit card payments.
(2)What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.The service performs only on special mobile phones.
B.The latest invention is just a small scanner.
C.The Square contains information on a credit card.
D.It is safe for your information to be sent to banks.
(3)How can a cardholder receive a receipt?
A.By email online.
B.By oral message.
C.By a payer account.
D.Over safe channels to banks.
(4)What does the writer imply in the last paragraph?
A.The invention may be used in the future.
B.The Square has already put into use widely.
C.The invention hasn't been tested these days.
D.The Square is popular among people in the US.
