Once upon a time there was a great man who married the woman of his dreams. With their love, they created a little girl. She was a bright and cheerful little girl and the great man loved her very much.
When the little girl was growing up, the great man would hug her and tell her, “ I love you, little girl.” The little girl would shout and say, “ I’m not a little girls anymore.” Then the man would laugh and say, “ But to me, you’ll always be my little girl.”
The little girl who- was- not- little- anymore left her home and went into the world. As she learned more about herself, she learned more about the man. She saw that he truly was great and strong, for now she recognized his strengths. One of his strengths was his ability to express his love to his family. It didn’t matter where she went in the world, the man would call her and say, “ I love you, little girl.”
The day came when the little girl who-was- not- little-anymore received a phone call. The great man was damaged. He had had a stroke(中風(fēng) ). He couldn’t talk anymore and they weren’t sure that he could understand the words spoken to him.
And so she went to the side of the great man. When she walked into the room and saw him, he looked small and not strong at all. He looked at her and tried to speak, but he could not.
The little girl did the only thing she could do. She climbed up on the bed next to the great man. Tears ran from both of their eyes and she drew her arms around the useless shoulders of her father.
Her head on his chest, she thought of many things. She remembered the wonderful times together and how she has always felt protected. And then she heard from within the man, the beat of his heart. The heart where the musid and the words had always lived. The heart beat on, steadily unconcerned about damage to the rest of the body. And while she rested there, the magic happened. She heard what she needed to hear.
His hear beat out the words that his mouth could no longer say…
I love you
I love you
I love you
Little girl
Little girl
Little girl
And she was comforted.

Time is the easiest thing in the world to waste—the most difficult to control. When you look ahead, it may appear you have 36        you need. Yet it has a way of slipping 37        your fingers like quicksand. You may suddenly find that there is no way to stretch the little time you have 38        to cover all your obligations. For example, 39           a beginning student looking ahead to a full term you may feel that you have an oversupply of time on your hands.40      toward the end of the term you may be 41         because you are running out of time. How can you do? —Control!
Time is 42        . If you don't control it, it will control you. If you don't make it work for you, it will 43        you. You must become the master of time, not the servant. “Study hard and play hard” is an old saying, but it still 44       . You have plenty of time for classes, study, work, and play if you use your time 45        . It is not how much time you allocate for study that 46          but how much you learn when you do study.
Too much wasted time is 47         medicine. The more time you waste, the easier it is to continue wasting time.  Soon, doing nothing becomes a habit you can't 48        . You  will be       49       to wasting time. When this happens, you 50      your feeling of accomplishment and you fall by the wayside. A full schedule is a good schedule. Some students 51          to hear the time message. They refuse to 52        the fact that college life demands some53         of time control. There is no escape. So what's the next step? If you seriously want to get the time message, the next passage will give it to you. 54      — it will not only improve your grades but also free you to 55           college life more.

One Saturday afternoon in February, 1943, a farmer in Mexico stopped working for a moment and looked across his fields of corn. Suddenly he saw a thin line of white smoke curling up out of his field, about 200 feet from where he stood. As he went toward the smoke to see what it was, he heard a strange noise. The line of smoke became bigger. It looked as if some great force were pushing it up into the sky.
The farmer rushed home to get his wife. While he was urging his wife to hurry from the house, the earth shook violently. When he stood up after the earth stopped shaking, he looked across the field and saw that great flames were rising from his cornfield. A volcano was being born!

Particutin did not become dark that night. The volcano lighted up the sky for miles around. Flames rushed out of the ground. The volcano threw hot stones a thousand feet through the air. Great explosion shook the earth and heavy black ashes fell from the sky, covering the roofs in Mexico city, 180 miles away.
But that was not all. On the third evening a float of lava(火山巖)began to boil up from the centre of the volcano. It came over the edge in a heavy flow, 2,000 feet wide, and travelled slowly across the valley, bringing certain death to everything that could not move from its path.

My father came to the United States as a Ukrainian immigrant (移民) when he was 14 years old. Unable to speak English but willing to do anything to succeed, he learned the language, became a barber, and opened up his own business in a small town. He put my sister and me through college during a time when most people thought that women didn’t need an education and that they should be satisfied with getting married and having children. He gave us values and ambition. But this story didn’t really start until my father was 60 years old.
I was preparing to get married and my father was attempting to practice the polke, a must at any Ukrainian wedding. But he just couldn’t do it! He had lost mobility in his leg and was diagnosed with a brain tumor (腫瘤). After surgery, this energetic, hard-working man was forced to retire as a result of significant paralysis (癱瘓) in his right arm and leg. My dad had always worked two jobs and spent his spare time working around the house. Now that kind of life came to a sudden stop. Yet never once did he complain. He bought rubber balls and spent his days trying to regain his hand mobility by squeezing those balls over and over.
After his last operation, he chatted with me pleasantly in the hospital room until a nurse flew into the room, waving her finger at me, and yelling, “You’d better tell your father to stay in bed. He is paralyzed and will never walk again. He needs to stop trying to get out of bed and accept the fact that he can’t walk now or ever. I am sick of picking him up and you’d better warn him to stay put!” My father smiled. He spent a great deal of time on the floor that year, but he eventually got up and walked.
My father lived nineteen more years after that operation. He bought himself a motor scooter (小型摩托車) and spent years zipping around the streets of Philadelphia. He was proud, free, and always smiling.

A.a(chǎn) songB.a(chǎn) danceC.a(chǎn) musical instrumentD.a(chǎn) tool for painting
小題3:The author’s father used the rubber balls to         .
A.kill his too much spare timeB.relieve himself from work pressure
C.get his hand’s function backD.recover from his operation
小題4: Which of the following can be used to describe the author’s father?

              A middle-aged stranger visited us late on a dark rainy night when my father was working the night shift (a job for a period during the night). The stranger asked if he could wait under the eaves of our roof for the rain to stop. Then he disappeared, and we started hearing footsteps and creaking boards in the attic(the space or room at the top of a building, under the roof, often used for storing things). Was the stranger inside our house? My whole body couldn’t help but stiffen. In my mind’s eye, I could imagine the stranger pushing through the attic door and approaching us.

We were determined to leave the house immediately. As we drove away, we saw the man blocking our way on the road and staring at us. We had to swerve to miss him. After that, I never saw the stranger again.

While I was in 9th grade, I built a circuit (電路裝置) for the traffic system of our city. After getting the first prize, I got this valuable advice from my father: “Do whatever interests you, and don’t let the work challenge you, make sure you are challenging that work.” 
I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small sections. When I understood it clearly, I used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding (編碼). At first, I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the question “How do I do it?” As I kept working and discussed with my professor, I became more comfortable and those “how” questions soon turned into “what if I do this and that” types of questions.
It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy. I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didn’t know what to do. At that moment, a man came in to clean. He had headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again, and soon I fixed the problem. 
My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have gained the confidence to attempt any kind of project. 
小題1:According to the passage, the writer was interested in ______.
A.developing traffic systemsB.doing challenging projects
C.winning great prizesD.writing different codes
小題2: The writer asked the question “how do I do it” at first because ______.
A.he had no clear idea about his programB.he was too shy to express himself
C.he wanted to be understood easilyD.he preferred this kind of question
小題3: We learn from the passage that the writer’s shipping program ______.
A.would benefit people a lotB.was done together with others
C.was difficult and needed patienceD.cost much money and energy
小題4: What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Do It YourselfB.No Pains, No Gains
C.Learning with InterestD.Practice Makes Perfect
