Paul was dealing with a crisis. The new girl Linda in class really liked him a lot. Paul was not happy about it.
Paul's good friend, Sam, tried to comfort him.  "What's the big deal? I think Linda is kind of cute and nice enough."
Paul glared at Sam. "Then why don't you ask her to be your girlfriend? There she is, sitting all by herself at the other end of the cafeteria. Go there and ask her to be your honey!"
"She's crazy about you, not me," Sam replied.
"Well, I don't want any girlfriend, especially not a girl like her! "Paul growled.
Sam wouldn't give up.  "The only thing pesky about her is that she keeps writing you those notes ."
"I don't like notes at all!" Paul interrupted. He took another sip of milk.
"Did you notice those strange brown eyes? Why aren't they normal red or pink?"
Sam took another look at Linda. "I think her face is a lovely shade of green. And her dark green curly hair is quite pretty. Besides, she's very gentle and that's what really matters."
Paul stuck out his tongue. "I think I'm going to be sick!  I'd better save my dessert for later." He crammed a small bag of Maggot Munchies into his even smaller shirt pocket.  "The fact is, I have a problem. That girl is getting on my nerves!  "
Sam followed Paul’s example and decided to save his dessert for later. However, he carefully placed the bag into his lunch box.  "Do you have any ideas about how to solve your problem?" Tremor asked.
"I'm going to be mean and rude to her," Paul announced.  "I'll call her names and make ugly faces at her."
"That's how you treat everyone," Sam reminded his friend.
Paul nodded. "It's time that Linda got to know the real Paul !"

Nearly two decades has passed, I still remember my favourite professor, James Sehwartz. Whenever he smiles, it’s as if you’d just been told the funniest joke on earth. Almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.
When James was a teenager, his father   36  him to a fur factory where he worked . This was during the Great Depression. The   37  was to get James a job.
James entered the factory, and immediately felt as if the   38  had closed in around him. The room was dark and hot, the windows covered with dust, and the   39  were packed tightly together, running like trains. The fur hairs were flying,   40  a thickened air, and the workers,   41  the pieces of fur together, were bent over their needles   42  the boss marched up and down the rows, searching for them to go faster .James could hardly   43 . He stood next to his father, frozen with fear, hoping the boss wouldn’t   44  at him, too.
During lunch break, his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him,   45 if there was any work for his son. But   46  there was hardly enough   47  for the adult labours, for no one would give it up once he took a job.
Thus, for James, it was a   48 . He hated the place. He made a   49  that he kept to the end of his life: he would never do any work that brought   50  to someone else, and he would never allow himself to   51  money off the seat of others.
“What will you do?” his mother, Eva, would ask him.
“I don’t know,” he   52  say. He ruled out law, because he didn’t like   53 , and he ruled out medicine, because he couldn’t take the   54  of blood.
“What will you do?”
  55 , my best professor I ever had became—he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.

Crazy is our new normal. With two teenage boys and three little boys, our family is restless—to the baseball field, track field(田徑場)and piano lessons. Even though we’ve limited each boy’s activities and try our best to defend our family time, it seems that we’re in a constant state of flight.
“Embrace it. Roll with it,” my husband, Lonny, says, “It’s going to be like this for a while.”
He is right. It’s likely that life will continue to go forward before it slows down. But I remembered the still, quiet days that our family used to enjoy. I missed long walks through the park when we held the boys’ little hands. I longed for(渴望) lazy Saturday afternoons under the tree in our backyard. I wanted to slip back a few years, when busyness was the exception and not the rule.
One night, after a particularly full day and evening games, our family gathered on the porch(門廊)for ice cream. Two parents, two teens, and three small boys piled on one old swing and a couple of rocking chairs. We were together, in one place, for a small slice of time.
The moon was full. The Mississippi River, flowing past our home, was smooth as glass. I wrapped my own arms around the son who sat on my lap and breathed deeply to inhale his little-boy scent(氣味)—dirt and sweat. My heart was still and content(滿足的).
I realized that while crazy is our new normal happiness is as usual. They may look different from before, but they are still there—even if they’re in the form of a single moment on the porch. Maybe I just need the eyes to see.
小題1:What does the author mainly talk about?
A．Her anger at her busy life.
B．Her family’s struggle for a better life.
C．Her new feelings about the present life.
D．The pleasure of staying with her children.
小題2:How did the author feel about life before the night sitting on the porch with the family?
A．Confused.B．Satisfied.C．Bored.D．Terrified.
小題3:The underlined word “inhale” in the fifth paragraph probably means ______.
A．describeB．breathe outC．removeD．breathe in
小題4:Which of the following could describe the author’s present life?
A．Busy and boring.B．Busy but happy.
C．Crazy and unbearable.D．Normal but exciting.
小題5:Which of the following statements might the author agree to?
A．Life is nothing but bitterness, busyness and horror.
B．Happiness is everywhere, but we have to discover it.
C．Parents should earn much money for their kids’ better life.
D．Life in the countryside is charming, wonderful, and sweet.

Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.
He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock（鬧鐘）. He tried to shave（刮臉）quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing（熨）, so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter（表）. He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all.

Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us．Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum （鐘擺） and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar．As some-one who understood the distinction observed, "When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours．"
Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age．They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass．For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach．Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured tune could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older．
Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly．Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we’ve never been before．Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time．But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time．The novelty of the outward journey has become routine．Thus taking a different route on occasions can often help slow the clock．
When was become as identical as identical as beads（小珠子）on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day．To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day—to stop time, so to speak．
Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time．One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery．For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn’t have to be．
小題1:The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 is used to show        ．
A．psychological time is quite puzzling
B．time should not be measured by a pendulum
C．physical time is different from psychological time
D．physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time
小題2:Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?
A．Our sense of time changes
B．We spend less time at the beach．
C．More time is structured and scheduled．
D．Time is structured with too many appointments．
小題3:In Paragraph 3 “novelty” probably means        ．
A．excitementB．unfamiliarityC．imaginationD．a(chǎn)musement
小題4:The purpose of the passage is to        ．
A．give various explanations about time
B．describe how we experience time psychologically
C．show the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time
D．explain why time flies and how to slow it down psychologically

As a boy, Charles Robert Darwin collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him.
His father was a doctor, so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, and was planned to follow a medical career. But Charles found the lectures boring. Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to be a priest. While at Cambridge, Darwin’s interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert Fitzroy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended(推薦). That voyage was the start of Darwin’s great life.
As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He began to observe everything. After he was home, he set to work, getting his collection in order. His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life.
Later Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. Darwin’s great book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (《物種起源》) appeared. It attracted a storm. People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work.
Afterwards, he published another great work, The Descent of Man. His health grew worse, but he still worked. “When I have to give up observation, I shall die,” he said. He was still working on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later.
小題1:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Charles Darwin’s ideas
B．Charles Darwin’s works
C．Father of modern biology: Charles Darwin
D．The greatest scientist: Charles Darwin
小題2:Darwin’s father sent him to Edinburgh to _____.
A．make him like natural history
B．make him become a doctor
C．let him change his hobbies
D．have him give up his collection
小題3:According to the passage, Charles Darwin’s whole life was changed by _____.
A．his study at Cambridge University
B．his collection of coins
C．the naturalists at Cambridge
D．the voyage of the Beagle
小題4:The underlined part “they were descended from monkeys” probably means “_____”.
A．they gave monkeys life
B．they were different from monkeys
C．they were developed from monkeys
D．they had to live with monkeys
