One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the  36 direction at about the same speed. As we  37 each other, I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second.  I wondered whether he might be  38  , as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall  39  , not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden  40 . Though we had  41 spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.
Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world  42 . At some   43 , we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us  44  not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act  45 , with friends or even with  46 .
As technology  47 our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which  48 thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a  49  problem, one requiring coordinated action by police and intelligence forces across the world’ We must recognize that our fates are not ours   50 to control.
In my own life, I’ve put great stock in  51 responsibility.  52  , as the years have passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of  53  . So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a  54 road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of  55 .

A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.
When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."
The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (責備) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.
Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.
小題1:What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “the apple of their eye”
A．A person who always has a sweet smile in their opinion.
B．A person who is as pretty as an apple in their opinion.
C．A person who is loved more than anyone else in their opinion.
D．A person who looks like an apple in their opinion.
小題2:Why didn’t the father pick the boy up himself?
A．He was very lazy.
B．He thought the mother had picked him up.
C．He forgot to pick him up.
D．He was too tired to do it.
小題3:What can we learn from this passage?
A．Be careful in everything you do.
B．Love is the most important thing.
C．Learn to forgive others.
D．Everyone can make mistakes.
小題4:What do you think of the husband?
A．Warm-hearted.B．Careful.C．Hard-working.D．Broad-minded.

My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister’s bureau（衣櫥）and picked out a wonderful skirt. “Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago .She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.” Well, I guess this is the occasion.
He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, “Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you’re alive is a special occasion.”
I’m still thinking about his words, and they’ve changed my attitude to life. I’m spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. I’m trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them.
“Someday” and “one of these days” are being lost from my vocabulary. If it’s worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now . I’m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn’t have tomorrow.
I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.
If I knew that my hours were limited, those little things left undone would make me angry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with someday. Angry and sorry because I didn’t tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.
I’m trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, and every breath truly, is…a gift from God.
小題1:What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Every day is a gift
B．My poor sister
C．Value friendship every day
D．Every day is an important occasion
小題2:Jan bought the wonderful skirt but didn’t wear it, because(   )
A．She wanted to wear it on special occasions
B．She kept it as a special gift for someone else
C．She saved it until she grew older
D．She wanted to keep it as a sweet memory
小題3:Which of the following is not the writer’s attitude to life?
A．Spending more time staying with family every day.
B．Attending social activities as often as possible
C．Enjoying life and valuing every day.
D．Trying to get along well with friends

One day when I was driving on the freeway, I noticed all the way there were large dividing walls, which had been built between it and the road running parallel to it, for noise reduction (減少) and a sense of separation. The purpose was to create a sense of privacy (隱私) for people on the other side.
This got me thinking: How often do we put up mental barriers that keep us distant from others? Lifting the artificial barriers that keep us apart can offer opportunities to express our goodwill and create better relationships. If we can do like this, maybe our life will be a little different.
There is a little post office in a nearby town, and since it is closer to me than the post office in my own town, I go there. One day, with many people jammed into the little building, a man came hurrying in to mail a letter, and the girl at the counter saw he had too little postage on it. She told him he needed 2 more cents. Obviously he was a little at a loss. He had hurried over from his office, and didn’t have any money on him or time to stand in line. He was going to run back to get the needed money and wait in line again, but he hurried to get the letter mailed in the first place.
As we were watching him, one woman volunteered a two-cent stamp, and the whole line became very quiet. It was a beautiful moment. The man hesitated for a little while and asked her if she was sure, and she assured him she was fine with giving him the stamp. He offered to go back to his office to get the two cents, and she told him not to bother.
It was a small thing, but it meant something to both of the people involved, and to the rest of us. We aren’t a yard that needs defining or a freeway that needs barriers. We are human beings who can contribute to each other’s wellbeing by taking time to pay attention and interact. After all, we are all parts of a whole living in society.
小題1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to __________.
A．summarize the main idea
B．give detailed information
C．tell readers the author’s opinion
D．introduce the topic
小題2:What happened after the man being told he needed two more cents?
A．The man went back to his office immediately.
B．The man turned to a lady for help.
C．A woman offered a stamp to the man.
D．The man waited in line patiently.
小題3:What can we learn about the author?
A．She pays too much attention to privacy.
B．She believes people should participate in the world around them.
C．She confuses real barriers with false ones.
D．She insists all small things always have the greatest meaning.
小題4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Artificial BarriersB．Unnecessary Separation
C．An Unforgettable Experience D．The Kindness of People

They say that cats have nine lives but our lazy old cat,PJ,had concurrent(并存的)lives and identities. He became well-known for sleeping around the neighbourhood and used to nap in the spare bedroom of elderly couple who lived three doors up from us.While I wasn’t always aware of all his liaisons, it didn’t matter as long as he always came home at mealtimes.
One day we noticed he had gained weight. We guessed he was enjoying snacks at the local takeaway shop bins and so we began to reduce the amount of his food. He didn’t seem to notice.
Some months later. we invited some new neighbours in for drinks. Not long into the evening, our new neighbor saw PJ sitting proudly on the window ledge. “You’ve got my cat!” She exclaimed, laughing.
We let her down gently, and learnt that at their house, PJ was known as Tiger. Thanks to them, he’d been receiving the royal treatment, including removing small insects from his body by spraying medicine. PJ continued living with us until a new cat and a new dog finally tested his patience. He walked out and was missing for ten days before my husband spotted him near his work. He brought our wandering cat home, but it was clear that PJ wasn’t happy. After shouting at him angrily, I let him out and he never returned.
A few months later, our new neighbour told us she’d seen PJ. It seems that an elderly neighbour had welcomed him into her home, and since taking up residence he’d doubled in size and been given his own sitting – room chair to lie. The two had become very fond of each other, ever since he’d followed her home. What a smart cat.
小題1:By exclaiming “You’ve got my cat,” the neighbour implied that           .
A．she admitted the eat belonged to that author
B．the author had stolen the lovely eat PJ
C．she was surprised at seeing the cat there
D．she was very angry with the author
小題2:What does the underlined word “He” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A．The cat PJB．the author’s husband
C．a new neighbourD．a neighbour’s husband
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that           .
A．the cat had visited all the neighbours before leaving
B．the author found the cat had gained some weight
C．The author couldn’t provide the cat with medical care
D．the neighbours loved the cat PJ very much

A psychologist once said,“If you’ve conquered every one of your fears, congratulations — you’re dead.”This humorous quote points to a simple truth — no one can escape fear completely.
However, fear can be a good thing. It is a natural, healthy reaction to danger. In fact, sometimes we are afraid of things that aren’t dangerous, such as public speaking, failing a test, or being rejected. These unhealthy fears can keep us from fulfilling our dreams. So how can we successfully face our fears?
First, admit what you fear and then share it with someone you trust. Perhaps you worry that others would look down on you if they know what you fear, but you might be surprised at how many other people share the same fears. Learning you are not the only one who fears something will give you self-esteem(自尊心) a push. Second, ask yourself,“What is the worst-case scenario（最壞的情況）?”This question can help you gain perspective（洞察力）.If you think about it, the worst might not be that bad, after all. Compared with the fear of losing a contest or being turned down, the regret of having missed opportunities can be even harder to bear. Even worse, you will never know what you might have accomplished. Finally, take small steps toward conquering your fears. If you fear public speaking, start by giving a small talk to a few people. If your talk doesn’t go well, try again. Each small success will increase your confidence and persistence is one of the keys to success.
You might never completely conquer your fear of certain things, but what is important is that you can bring yourself to do what you fear. True bravery is feeling afraid but doing what you have to do anyway. It’s also true that you struggle with fear and don’t let your fears stop you from getting the most out of life.
小題1:This passage mainly discusses     .
A．the harm of fear to successB．varieties of fear
C．ways to handle fearD．necessity of fear
小題2:In the writer’s opinion, what might be even worse than losing a contest?
A．Being turned down by others.
B．Forgetting what to say in public speaking.
C．Sharing ideas with others.
D．Missing an opportunity.
小題3:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A．Not everything we are afraid of is dangerous.
B．It’s encouraged to share your fear with others.
C．It’s difficult to overcome some fears.
D．What you fear should be worse than what you think.
小題4:It can be learned from the passage that a really courageous person     .
A．does what is necessary to do
B．always achieves what he or she wants
C．has no fear in his or her life
D．never loses a contest
