Last Friday my brother and I were driving home together after doing some shopping and gave our attention to an interesting conversation. Because of this distraction (分心)my brother took a wrong turn.
Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. Unwillingly, my brother paid the bridge fee and drove on. He was clearly frustrated by the mistake and the needless waste of $4.
We eventually reached an exit and, as we took it, my brother noticed a young fellow pulled over to the side of the road. He came out of his car and tried to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we would go next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a tool to get it off.
My brother gave him a wrench, and then began to help him change the flat. The young man said that this had been a bad week for him: earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us “a breath of fresh air” and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn’t come along.
After we finished the job he thanked us again and pulled out $20 from his pocket and tried to give it to us. “No,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge,we took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve.” 
What I loved most was that my brother was able to see a chance to help. His reaction in the situation is a lesson for everyone and we felt so good the rest of the day.
小題1:When did the author and his brother notice the young man who had a flat tire?
A．Before they arrived at a bridge.
B．When they were passing through an exit.
C．When the young man stopped them for help.
D．After they came back to the right road.
小題2:We can learn from the text that the writer’s brother ________.
A．didn’t know the roads well
B．was a warm-hearted young man
C．made the turn to help the young man
D．regretted making a wrong turn all the way home
小題3:What did the young man mean by calling the writer and his brother “a breath of fresh air” ?
A．He had been in the hot sun waiting for help for so long.
B．His car’s air conditioner was broken.
C．They calmed him down by offering him a cold drink.
D．They changed his bad luck and the bad mood he was in.
小題4:Which of the following sentences best describes the writer’s experience?
A．It’s no use crying over spilt milk.
B．God helps those who help themselves.
C．Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.
D．If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.

小題1:B
小題2:B
小題3:D
小題4:D
文章講述了一個小故事，想告訴我們當我們在幫助別人的時候，也就是在幫助我們自己。要讓這個時間充滿愛心。
小題1:B 細節(jié)題。根據第三段第1行e eventually reached an exit and, as we took it可知A正確。
小題2:B 推理題。我的兄弟主動停車幫助別人而且不接受報酬，說明他是一個熱心腸的人。故B正確。
小題3:D 推理題。這個人一個星期過的都很不順利，遇見了很多麻煩，現在我的兄弟和我主動來幫助他，讓他感受到溫暖，能夠改變他的壞運氣。故D正確。

One cold rainy evening last October, as a medical student, I was in a hospital, gathering data
for my graduation paper.
Holding a patient questionnaire   34  some simple yes-or-no questions, I walked towards a 43-year-old patient who lay in bed alone. I was worried whether she would approve of my demands at such a late hour.   35 , she treated it with consideration. Soon I finished and prepared to leave.   36  I could stand up, she spoke up in a weak voice asking where I was from and why I was working so late in the evening.
Then she started talking about herself as well as her   37 , "My husband died about a year ago,   38  me the only breadwinner of my family. My pay as a cleaner is   39  enough for me and my three kids. I don't know what my children would be if something bad happened to me."
I didn't know what to say. I desperately tried to remember the lessons from a communication skills class I had taken years earlier, but my mind was  40.
Without realizing it, I had begun   41  her hand. Now that I didn't have anything to say, I just sat quietly while she talked. That's when it occurred to me that she was not expecting any 42 from me. She   43  wanted me to listen. All 1 did was nod my head as a way of showing my 44.
The conversation went on for about 20 minutes. Finally, she stopped talking. "I'm very sorry for keeping you here to listen to my problems, but I feel   45  now. I had no one to   46 out my problems to. Thank you so much, doctor."
Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine or advanced technology.   47 , they just need someone with the   48  to lend an ear and spare a little of their time. For me, that is one of the best things a doctor can do for a patient, doesn't it?

Here’s an unusual story: a diamond ring was recently found in an egg. The magician（魔術師）, Liu Qian, discovered it, in front of an audience of millions at CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala. Liu’s magic tricks have made the centuries old art of magic fashionable once again, and made him the hottest magician in China.
As a seasoned young magician from Taiwan, Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States, Japan, South Korea and the UK.
Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people’s love for magic.
Liu is known for his interaction(互動) with his audiences. He has a unique understanding of showmanship (演出技巧).
“It is actually thinking, rather than one’s manipulation(操作)skills, that is more important to achieving a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively, to make them appear more intriguing(吸引人的),”Liu said.
Liu Qian’s success dates back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan, he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12, he won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest, which was judged by the great American magician, David Copperfield.
Yet, Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur（業(yè)余的） magician in his spare time. However, his failure to find a decent(體面的)job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.
To refine（升華） his performing skills, he has performed on streets, roads and fields, for pedestrians(路人), policemen and farmers.
“Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians. We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough crowds,” Liu said.
小題1:Why do people love to watch magic?
A．Because Liu Qian is known for his interaction with his audiences.
B．Because people love watching magicians make the impossible happen.
C．Because people want to know the secret of the magic.
D．Because people are curious about everything.
小題2:Which word in the following is close to the underlined word “seasoned”?
A．Handsome.B．Growing.C．Fruitful.D．Experienced.
小題3:What is the key reason that Liu Qian decided to make magic his career?
A．He was good at magic when he was young.
B．He had won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest.
C．He couldn’t find a decent job after graduation.
D．He became an amateur magician in his spare time.
小題4:The passage is mainly about         .
A．why Liu Qian plays magic well
B．what magic tricks are
C．why people love magic
D．how Liu Qian became China’s hottest magician

Years ago while lying in my hammock（吊床）and drinking JD from the bottle, I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence. Upon inspection, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next door neighbor’s 10 – year – old daughter’s rabbit. For years I had watched her come home from school and head straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard. I knew that day would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast.
The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it, combed it with the dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower. Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced it back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as “natural caused”.
Back to the hammock and JD. Within the hour the neighbor’s Volvo pulled in as usual and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage. Only this time she stopped about six feet away and screamed: “D—A—D—D—Y!!!”.
Her father, panic stricken, stood looking at the cage. Being the good neighbor that I am, I rushed to fence and asked if there was anything I could do.
Her father less than calmly shouted, “What kind of sick individual would dig up a little girl’s rabbit and put it back in its cage?”
小題1:The girl was shocked because           .
A．the rabbit was killed by someone
B．the rabbit was too clean
C．the dead rabbit was cleaned and put back into the cage
D．the rabbit was asleep in the cage
小題2:That day the girl ran to the cage           .
A．because her rabbit was there
B．because she had a habit of going there to see her rabbit
C．because she wanted to see her rabbit again
D．because the rabbit was dead
小題3:We can infer that the rabbit           
A．was alive before the writer saw his dog dragging it
B．was already dead before the writer saw his dog dragging it
C．was in the cage playing with the dog
D．was at the fence seeking out for food before it was killed by the dog
小題4:According to the story, the writer           .
A．was helpful to his neighbor
B．did a smart thing
C．was honest
D．made a mistake

When I was a kid, I used to spend hours listening to Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew Pinsky on their Sunday night radio show Loveline. I listened so often that I began to use one of their well-known phrases—“good times”—in my daily conversations. Scientists have a name for this phenomenon: behavioral mimicry.
You’ve probably experienced this before: after spending enough time with another person, you might start to pick up on his or her behavior or speech habits. You might even start to develop your friend’s habits without realizing it. There is a large body of literature concerning this sort of phenomenon, and it regularly happens for everything from body postures to accents to drink patterns. For example, one study found that young adults were more likely to drink their drink directly after their same-sex drinking partners, than for the two individuals to drink at their own paces.
And the effect isn’t limited to real-life face-to-face activities. Another study found that the same you-drink-then-I-drink pattern held even when watching a movie! In other words, people were more likely to take a drink of their drinks in a theater after watching the actors on the screen enjoy a drink. At least I don’t feel so strange anymore, having picked up on Adam Carolla’s “good times”.
New research published today in the journal PLOS ONE indicates that the same sort of behavioral mimicry is responsible for social eating, at least among university-age women of normal weight. That’s right: the young women were more likely to adjust their eating according to the eating pace of their same-sex dining companion.
As with most experiments, these results raise a whole new set of questions. Still, the finding that behavioral mimicry may at least partly account for eating behavior is important, and has real effects on health. The researchers note that “as long as people don’t fully recognize such important influences on intake, it will be difficult to make healthy food choices and keep a healthy diet, especially when people are exposed to the eating behavior of others”.
小題1:The author takes his own example of using “good times” to _________.
A．express his love for radio shows
B．prove the popularity of the show
C．show the influence of the hosts’ words
D．introduce the topic of the passage
小題2:The underlined word “mimicry” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________.
A．copying
B．adjusting
C．recognition
D．observation
小題3:Which of the following is NOT an example of behavioral mimicry?
A．A boy eats his popcorn after watching the actor eat.
B．A boy buys a Nike shirt when he finds his desk-mate has one.
C．A girl unconsciously sits straight just as others do.
D．A girl takes on the Yorkshire accent after a month’s stay.
小題4:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _________.
A．behavioral mimicry is beneficial to our health
B．behavioral mimicry decides our eating behavior
C．there are doubts on the research results
D．there are people always exposed to bad eating habits
小題5:What is probably the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A．To draw readers’ attention to popular radio shows.
B．To introduce behavioral mimicry and its influence.
C．To appeal to readers not to fall into others’ habits.
D．To advocate healthy food choices among readers.

It is well known that Einstein was the father of the famous Theory of Relativity. But do you know it owes a great deal to Marits, Einstein’s former wife?
In 1896, 17-year-old Einstein went to Zurich to study physics. There he met a girl from Hungary. They studied in the same class. The same interest brought the two together and the young man fell in love with Marits. In 1903, when Einstein was 24 years old, he married Marits, who was 4 years older than he.
After their marriage, Einstein devoted himself to the research of the great theory. To give her husband more help, Marits gave up her own work, and became a good wife and assistant. She tried her best to encourage him whenever possible and she was sure that her husband would succeed. They often discussed the theory while walking outside or sitting together in the room. They even discussed it in their letters when one of them was away from home.
In 1914, the Einstein moved to Berlin and settled there. At that time, Einstein’s theory proved to be correct and he had become famous all over the world. Marits was very proud of him and his success. But it was not long before the First World War broke out. Marits as well as her two sons, who were all on holidays in Switzerland, couldn’t come back to Berlin. The war not only stopped Einstein’s work but broke up the warm, happy family.
