Known as the Animal Lady in this area which I lived in, I was always asked to lend a hand in animal   36  . One afternoon three little neighbor girls ran up   37  my door, saying a baby squirrel was on the sidewalk. I quickly   38  the kids and they led me to a tiny squirrel still with milk teeth. I  39  and held the little creature up gently in my arms to check it for   40  . It seemed fine. I figured the mother must have been killed,   41  it an orphan(孤兒). Now, the baby was pretty hungry for milk and then left its nest to   42  the neighborhood for help.
I was about to carry it into my   43  when I found several other babies starting to run down the tree from where their nest was. With the first squirrel hid into my   44  , I stood at the base of the tree and was   45  when three more babies ran right down into my hands. Those dear little creatures were so happy to feel safe and   46  ,and they all held each other close in my shirt. I took them home and   47  them bread and milk to eat. The poor starving things went   48  as they swallowed the meal.
I phoned a lady in the next town who   49  a small squirrel shelter. She had a big back yard with large   50  surrounded by a tall wooden fence. She assured me she was well   51  to care for the babies and provide a natural home for them when they were grown.
I love that those little girls cared enough about the squirrels to seek out the   52  of the Animal Lady! And I really   53  getting to help the baby creatures. And then the   54  of caring continued    55   the lady with the squirrel shelter took them in. How wonderful to be part of a chain of kindness.

When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble—a word game—against herself, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’ home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers.
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’ve taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She has been the one teaching me all my life; to cook and sew; to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.
It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing(文字處理). This proved to be a bigger challenge(挑戰(zhàn)) to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.
“Are you demanding this with your kindergarten pupils?” she said.
“No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.”
My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy(過敏反應). For as long as I remember, and time I called, my mother would answer, Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in the past 20 years.
小題1:What does the author do?
A．She is a cook.
B．She is a teacher.
C．She is a housewife
D．She is a computer engineer.
小題2:The author decided to give her mother a computer__________.
A．to let her have more chances to write letters
B．to support her in doing her homework
C．to help her through the bad times
D．to make her life more enjoyable
小題3:The author asked her mother to write her a letter__________.
A．because her mother had stopped using the telephone
B．because she wanted to keep in touch with her mother
C．so that her mother could practice what she had learned
D．so that her mother could be free from housework
小題4:After the computer was brought home, the author’s father__________.
A．lost interest in cooking
B．took more phone calls
C．played more games
D．began to use it

In the past few years development in medical technology has made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and machines are being developed every day to extend(延長) life. However, some people, including some doctors, are not in favor of(支持) these life extending measures, and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want to. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become terrible. They say that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊嚴) and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and that the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. And so the argument goes on and on without a final answer.
小題1:The best title for this passage is _____.
A．The Right to LiveB．The Right to Die
C．The Doctor’s DutyD．The Right to Live or Die
小題2:In recent years, people can live longer than in the past. It’s because of __ .
A．the development of medical technology
B．big hospitals
C．good doctors
D．both B and C
小題3:According to some people whether a dying patient has the right to die or not is decided by _____ .              
A．the doctors
B．the head of the hospital
C．his or her family
D．the patient himself or herself
小題4:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．Most of the medical workers join in the argument.
B．The argument has ended in favor of the patient.
C．The argument hasn’t ended yet.
D．The quality of life is not as important as life itself.

I am one of those people who are terrible at saying no. I take on too many projects at once, and spend too much of my time doing things I’d rather not be doing. I get stuff done, but it’s not always the best I can do, or the best way I could spend my time.
That’s why my newest goal, both as a professional and a person, is to be a quitter.
Being a quitter isn’t being someone who gives up, who doesn’t see important things through to the end. I desire to be the opposite of that. The quitter I want to be is someone who gets out when there’s no value in what he’s doing, or when that value comes at the expense of something more important.
We get involved in something, realize we don’t want to be a part of it, but keep on going. We say “Well, I’ve already invested so much time in this, I might as well stick it out.” A friend of mine once told me, “I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it.” Odd though it sounds, we all tend to do this.
I propose the opposite: quit as often as possible, regardless of project status or time invested. If you’re reading a book, and don’t like it, stop reading. Cut your losses, realize that the smartest thing to do is stop before your losses grow even more, and quit. Instead of reading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one. Isn’t that a better use of your time?
Step back for a second. Let’s learn how to say “no” at the beginning, or in the middle, and free up more of our time to do the things we’d like to be doing, and the things actually worth doing.
Saying no is hard, and admitting a mistaken yes is even harder. But if we do both, we’ll start to make sure that we’re spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses. Let’s be quitters together.
小題1:The author wants to be a quitter, because he/she        .
A．wishes to have more time for relaxation
B．hopes to improve his/her personality
C．expects to make more efficient use of his/her time
D．has found it hard to do several things at one time
小題2:In what circumstances does the author suggest quitting is a good idea?
A．When you know a task cannot be finished.
B．When you feel tired and need a rest.
C．When you meet with difficulties along the way.
D．When you realize what you are doing is not worth the time.
小題3:The message the author tries to convey is to        .
A．learn to say noB．create more value
C．live your life to the fullestD．stop doing many things at a time

Three years ago when I was still in the university, I also worked at a restaurant.   
An old man named Mr. Candido Filio was one of our regular customers at the restaurant. He was one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever known.
Every Sunday the Philippine Star Newspaper had a special page for word puzzles and among his peers (同齡人), Mr. Filio held the record for solving all the puzzles in less than five minutes. He encouraged me to solve them too and for months and months, I did my best to beat him but failed.
Then one Sunday, I did it! I was able to complete them before anyone else. Everyone cheered for me. He came up to me with a smile and said, “No one has ever beaten me before. You’re the first. I’ll have a prize for you tomorrow.”
The next day, he gave me a special Scrabble (拼字游戲) set. I would have never been able to afford one like that by myself. Then he said to me, “Kate, what do you think is man’s final goal in life? Happiness, isn’t it? You are happy and that should be considered as a success. Many people spend a lifetime searching for that. Be thankful that you have found it.” I looked at him and knew that my life had changed, probably forever. He must have known that I always felt sad about not having much money.
He encouraged me to learn the game and love words. And true to his words, I was never able to beat him again.

A．was generous to young people

“Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty – two?” I asked my friend. It was clear 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 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 late then…” and I closed the door.
“Who was that at the door?” my mum asked.
The card stared 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.
