We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the   1 to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her  2 , so I allowed her to go to the store in my truck.
At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I  3  having it, but I said: “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t  4  forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last.
We were talking  5  we heard a loud noise.  6  hearing it, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted; “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck!”
My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting (矛盾的) thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was 7? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say: “Here is a chance to show Holly  8  you really love. She’ll never forget it.”
The  9 had happened in my own driveway. Holly had  10  my truck into our family van (搬運車). Because of her  11 , she had confused the brakes (剎車) and the gas pedal (油門). Holly was unhurt  12  but when I reached her, she was crying and saying “Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.
Later that week a friend asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened (濕潤) and she said: “That happened to me when I was a girl. I  13 my dad’s car completely. When I got home, my dad knocked me to the ground and began to  14  me.”
Over 40 years later, she still felt the  15 of the night, which was a deep wound on her soul.
I remember how  16 Holly was when she crashed our truck, and how I   17 her. One day, when Holly  18  on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times  19 any piece of  20 .

Robert Spring, a 19th century forger (偽造簽字者), was as good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he make some money by selling his small but genuine of early U.S. autographs (親筆簽字). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ban Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To make less the chance of detection (發(fā)覺), he sent his forgeries (偽造物) to England and Canada for sale and circulation (銷售).
Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can't approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don't have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.
In Spring's time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a respectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General "Stonewall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny's economic problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-eye experts the difficult task of separating this forgeries from the originals.
小題1:Why did Spring sell his autographs in England and Canada?
A．There was a greater demand there than in America.
B．There was less chance of being detected there.
C．Britain was Spring's birthplace.
D．The price were higher in England and Canada.
小題2:After the Civil War, there was a great demand in Britain for _______.
A．Southern money
B．signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin
C．Southern manuscripts and letters
D．Civil War battle plans
小題3:Robert Spring spent 15 years _______.
A．running a bookstore in Philadelphia
B．corresponding with Miss Fanny Jackson
C．a(chǎn)s a forger
D．a(chǎn)s a respectable dealer
小題4:According to the passage, forgeries are usually sold to _______.
A．sharp-eyed expertsB．persons who aren't experts
C．book dealersD．owner of the old books
小題5:Who was Miss Fanny Jackson?
A．The only daughter of General "Stonewall" Jackson.
B．A little-known girl who sold her father's papers to Robert Spring.
C．Robert Spring's daughter.
D．An imaginary person created by Spring.

It was Monday. Mrs. Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house. Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, “Take this to the butcher（屠夫）, and he’s going to give you your lunch today.” Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once. At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more. The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers(顧客). But, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled.

"Colour" and "color"，"favourite" and "favorite"... Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a "u"? Is it because they are lazy?
Of course not. In fact，the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster (1758-1843). He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger. Linguists (語言學家) celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16. After the Revolutionary War (1775~ 1783)，Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary，rather than rely on British versions (版本). He dropped the British "u" in some words. And he changed "centre" into "center" for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.
Webster wasn't shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定義) preposterous (unreasonable)，he wrote: "A republican government in the hands of females is preposterous."
Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary in 1828 with his American-style spellings. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.
"He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity，"said Joshua Kendall，who is working on a biography (傳記) about Webster. "He at last bonded (聯(lián)合)us through our language."
小題1:Which of the following would probably be the best title for the passage?
A．The shaper of American English.
B．American identity.
C．Webster's dictionary.
D．Spelling differences between American and British English.
小題2:According to the passage，when he worked on his dictionary, Noah Webster did all of the following EXCEPT        .
A．voicing his opinion B．changing "centre" into "center"
C．a(chǎn)dding local words D．dropping "u" in all the British words
小題3:Which of the following word can best describe Noah Webster’s work?
A．Interesting. B．Meaningful. C．Unfinished. D．Boring.
小題4:Why did Noah Webster create these differences in his dictionary?
A．Because he wanted to make English simple and easy.
B．Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK.
C．Because he wanted to achieve political freedom.
D．Because he wanted American English to have its own characteristics.
小題5:When did Noah Webster probably begin his project of the dictionary?
A．In 1758. B．In 1783. C．In 1800.D．In 1828.

Most dog owners feel that their dogs are their best friends. Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners. One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him.
One of my friends has a large German shepherd ( 牧羊狗) named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much. One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time, and he talked and talked.
Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk, but the visitor didn’t leave. Jack became very worried about his walk in the park.

In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods.
In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs .
The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷針). This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.
Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning has a voltage (電壓) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.
Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day.
The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also on,e should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.
With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry.
小題1:People once thought lightning came from ________.
A．the godsB．the earth
C．the skyD．nature
小題2:According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?
A．Metal fences.B．Machines.
C．Electricity. D．Lightning rods
小題3:Lightning can travel ________.
A．a(chǎn)s quickly as waterB．not so quickly as electricity
C．a(chǎn)t very high speed D．a(chǎn)t very low speed
小題4:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning.
B．Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea.
C．The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning.
D．A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm.
