Lisa Reid lost her sight(視力) because of cancer ten years ago, but a knock on the head has given it back. The 24-year-old lady has    36   part of her sight after being knocked on the head. Eleven days ago, Miss Reid    37   down to kiss her guide dog good night, but accidentally(意外地) hit her head on a coffee table.    38   she woke up the next morning, she could see for the first time in 10 years.
“I could    39   believe it. It’s amazing,” she said. The cancer that stole Miss Reid’s sight was diagnosed(診斷) 13 years ago. Doctors gave her a five percent    40   of survival after discovering she had brain cancer. An operation(手術(shù)) to excide the tumor(切除腫瘤) was    41  , but it damaged her eyes and had a bad effect    42   her sight.
Miss Reid was blind at 14, and her eyes were only able to notice    43   and dark.. “I had lost hope and thought that everything was against me,” she said.
Now Miss Reid has recovered 80 percent of the sight in her left eye, but her color vision(色覺) is    44  . The eye expert has no    45   for her recovery because he has never seen a similar case(病例).
After Miss Reid recovered her sight on November 17, she    46   it a secret at the beginning, but later in the day she called her    47   and over the telephone read the health warning on a cigarette package(盒) to her mum. “Lisa    48   me and said‘there’s been a change; listen to this’,” said Louise Reid, Miss Reid’s mother. “Then she started reading to me. I was surprised.” Unsure whether her sight would last（持續(xù)), Miss Reid waited    49   the next day before    49   her walking stick and spreading the good news. She couldn’t wait to celebrate it with her family and friends.

A bout 18 months ago, my father was in hospital recovering from a major lung operation.

One evening, to our   40 , he refused to eat the ice-cream,  41  I placed it in a staffroom freezer. A little while later, my son decided he wanted it, so I   42  it for him.  
As I passed another ward（病房）, a   43 asked, “Are there more where that came from?” When I explained the   44 , she apologized. She then said that she had cancer and could eat very little,  45   the occasional ­ice-cream.
The next evening, I decided to buy two ice-creams. On the way to Dad’s room, I stopped in at the   46  woman’s room, and   47  her the ice-cream I’d bought for her. She was   48 stunned that I had thought of her, and   49  the gift with tears in her eyes.

It was the old lady’s eightieth birthday. She was sure Myra wouldn’t forgot her mother’s birthday, even if she was busy. After all, eighty was a special birthday. Perhaps Myra might come. Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excited like a child.
Mrs. Morrison had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake. Johnnie, the little boy next door, was now up with her with a packet of sweets.
“I guess you’ll get lots and lots of presents, ” he said. “I did last week when I was six.”
What would she like? A pair of slippers, perhaps. A blue new cardigan. Or a table lamp. Or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.
She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate.
“Granny, granny, ” Johnnie returned. “I’ve got your post!”
He gave her four envelopes. Three were from old friends. The fourth was in Myra’s writing.
“No parcel(包裹), Johnnie?”
“No, granny.”
Almost reluctantly, she tore the fourth envelope open. Folded in the card was a check. Written on the card was a message: Happy Birthday—Buy yourself something nice with the check, Myra and Harold.
The six-figure check fell to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady bent to pick it up. Her present, her lovely present. With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits.

“Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two?” I asked my friend. It was clear that she was wondering where I had come up with such a question. Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister. We hung out together. We gave each other advice.
“Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two.” Jenna announced loudly.
The next year, in the fourth grade, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.
The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy. I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!
I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me an awesome Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.
“Wow, ” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”
“Okay…well…I have to go,” she said softly.
“Okay. See you later then…” and I closed the door.
“Who was that at the door?” my mum asked.
The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eight-two.”
I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in her back yard. I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in trying to get even and making my friends feel sorry for me that I had forgotten about real friendship.
小題1:How would the author and Jenna get along with each other after Christmas?
A．They would be close friends again.
B．They would not speak to each other.

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，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
C
In any family with more than one child, chidren seem to naturally compete for their parents’ love and attention. Parents say they love every child equally. But is that true?
Susan, founder of a consulting firm in Chicago, interviewed 216 women and found that even though none of her questions asked directly about a parent favoring one child over another, about two-thirds of the women said there was a favored child. And they also remembered their experience when they were young. One of the women said, “My mother always liked my brother better, and he got to go to summer camp in 1968 and I didn’t.”
Plumez, who interviewed parents with both biological children and adoptive children for an adoption book in 2008, found that what matters most is whether your temperaments(性情) are pleasing. “In some cases, parents would say they felt closer to their adopted children,” she says, “Some parents like the children with characters similar to theirs. Two people who are shy and withdrawn might get along well, unless the shy parent doesn’t like that aspect of themselves and they try to push the naturally withdrawn child to be more extroverted.”
It could be a result of gender, birth order or how easy or difficult a child’s temperament may be, but a parent’s different treatment has far-reaching effects. Students have found that less-favored children may suffer emotionally, with decreased self-esteem and behavioral problems in childhood. Favoritism is a reason for the next generation not to like each other.
Experts say it is not realistic to say everyone should be treated equally, because no two people are the same and they relate differently to others.
“It does not mean that parent loves or likes one child more. It has to do with which one of them is independent,” says psychologist Laurie Kramer of the University of Illinois.
小題1:The study carried out by Susan shows that ______.
A．showing favoritism is common in many families
B．most mothers like their sons better than their daughters
C．only two-thirds of the women interviewed have more than a child
D．it is a favoritism that leads to absence of harmony in most families
小題2:The underlined word “extroverted” in the third paragraph means _______.
A．independentB．outgoingC．cleverD．brave
小題3:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Favoritism is not beneficial to the development of children
B．Parents’ favoritism to a certain child can’t be avoided in families
C．Parents may be favoring one of their children and don’t realize it
D．People are very much shaped by how they were treated by their parents
小題4:What is the best title for the passage?
A．Parents’ favoritism can affect children deeply
B．Why do parents show favoritism to children?
C．Parents should give attention to all their children
D．Building a harmonious family is important to children

Years after throwing a bottle-up note into a lake for a class project and just one year after his death, a man’s childhood message was found and returned to his mother.
Eleven years ago, a then 10-year-old boy, Joshua Baker, wrote the message, folded and put it in an empty container, his mother, Maggie Holbrook said. He died last February in a motor vehicle accident in California. He had recently returned after a serving in the Middle East as a US marine. “I think he was just letting us know he was OK and keep doing what we are doing.” Holbrook said.
The message surfaced in White Lake in late April, just days after the 11th anniversary of its being thrown into the lake. It was found by one of Baker’s closest friends, Steve Lieder, she said. Lieder and two friends were chatting near the lake when Lieder looked down and saw the bottle. He broke it open and found the note inside.
“My name is Joshua Baker. I am 10. If you find this, put it on the news. The date is 4/16/98.” They immediately took it to Holbrook, who said she is now having the note preserved and will display it in her home.
She can remember when her son wrote the message for the school project. She said she always wondered why he didn’t put it in the nearby Wolf River, which has a much stronger current.
“I still remember the day he wrote it, ” Holbrook said. “I couldn’t understand why he threw I in the lake. No one would never see it again. Now I know.”
小題1:What was Joshua Baker when he died in motor vehicle accident in California?
A．An officialB．A soldierC．A workerD．A teacher
小題2: Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?
A．The man threw the bottle into the lake without any purpose.
B．The man didn’t put the bottle into the nearby river because it had a strong current.
C．Not until recently did his mother understand why he put the bottle into the lake.
D．The man made the bottle-up note so as to let his parents know he was OK.
小題3:The best title for this passage would be___.
A．A man’s Bottle Message Found After His Death
B．A Ridiculous and Unbelievable Bottle Message
C．A Strange Bottle-up Note Appearing In a Lake
D．An Important Childhood Message 11 Years After His Death
