The ringing of the phone runs through my head, telling me someone needs help. I pick it up and    1   the routine, “Teen Lifeline, this is Amber.” About 45 minutes later I hang up, feeling pleased because I’ve helped another teen. Volunteering at Teen Lifeline has helped me realize how to deal with my own    2   and help others.
“My mom is always fighting with me. I want to run away.” Some teens feel their    3   is a prison, rather than a place of shelter and safety. They feel parents are only there to make their lives    4  . We try to help the teens realize the danger they could be in    5   giving them advice. All we can do is to ask questions. We also try to find out where the teens would go and how they would survive. We give them a phone number if they     6   don’t want to live in their “prison”.
“I don’t want to    7   any more” is something we hear, and suicide (自殺) calls are some of the hardest to    8  . We try to discover why they want to take their lives and how serious they are by asking them to rate it on a scale of one to ten. One means they are    9   suicide but haven’t decided how, and ten means they are always thinking about it and have a    10   . We ask them to make a promise that they will not hurt themselves. And sometimes we ask for their telephone numbers    11  we can call back to make sure that they are okay.
Although many calls are about relatively    12   problems, volunteering at Teen Lifeline has helped me realize I’m not the    13   person with problems, and has taught me how to    14   with my heart. I have made a    15   and saved many lives — possibly even my own, too.

All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer. Sports change with the season.

In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition（學會）of each new skill — the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is common that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm（熱情） for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality（準時）for meals. In general, the controls imposed（強加的）represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community（社區(qū)）as much as the child’s own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality.  Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach（說教）, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
小題1:Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills _____.
A．should be avoided
B．is universal among parents
C．sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D．will make him lose interest in learning new things
小題2: When children are learning new skills, parents should _____.
A．a(chǎn)chieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
B．not expect too much of them
C．encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
D．create as many learning opportunities as possible
小題3:The second paragraph mainly tells us that _____.
A．parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone
B．parental controls satisfy only the needs of the parents and the values of the community
C．parents should be strict with their children
D．parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation
小題4:The underlined word “precept” （in Paragraph 3） probably means “_____”.
A．ideaB．punishmentC．instructionD．behaviour
小題5:In moral matters, parents should _____.
A．satisfy their children’s needs
B．be aware of the marked difference between adults and children
C．forbid things which have no foundation in morality
D．observe（遵守，奉行） the rules themselves

There are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time set aside for fun. And the best part is that these are the kind of memories a child will remember for a lifetime.
Family game night
Find out any of the games that are already around the house. Kids often get computer games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family. Or, make up some games of your own. “Charades” is a fun game to play that will challenge a child to use his/her imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words that the other has to act out.
________________________
Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own masterpiece. It doesn’t need to be just a drawing -- take some old magazines sitting around the house, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own montage. Or, use items from nature. Let them use leaves, pine cones, twigs and whatever else they can find to create something from their imaginations.
Family Picnic
Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let the kids have a day of playing. Or, if it is the middle of winter and a foot of snow is on the ground, set up a picnic in the living room.
Family Field Trip
A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a dime. Ask a nearby farm if it would be alright to bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park and make a scavenger hunt where they need to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work -- you might be surprised at the number of people who would be thrilled to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for the kids.
小題1:We can learn from the passage that “charades” ________.
A．is a computer gameB．is too difficult for children
C．involves acting out wordsD．should be played by more than four people
小題2: What is the best title to be put in the blank of part two? ____________.

C．Family music timeD．Family cleaning time
小題3:According to the passage, the family picnic____________.
A．should be held in the middle of winter
B．can be held inside your house
C．will be very meaningful if held in offices

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist (樂觀者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays (灰色) and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined (意志堅定的). You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists (心理學家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference (愛好), and the effect (影響) that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
　　 A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful (開心的) and more comfortable (舒服的) than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing (壓抑). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.
　　 Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.
小題1:According to this passage, _________.
A．one can choose his color preference　　
B．one is born with his color preference
C．one’s color preference is changeable
D．one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly
小題2:We would pay attention to colors because _______.
A．colors do have effect on our moods(情緒)
B．colors may have effect on our work and study
C．light and bright colors make people happy
D．you can know your friends better by the colors they like or dislike
小題3: The main idea of this passage is ________.
A．one’s color preference shows one’s character
B．you can brighten your life with wonderful colors
C．psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preference
D．one’s color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beings
小題4: "I am feeling black" means ______.
A．I am feeling well 　　　　B．I am very happy 　　
C．I am excited 　　D．I am depressed

Scholars and researchers have tried to discover what personality characteristics go along with success in intercultural(跨文化的)experiences. Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete. But three characteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness (意識, 認識)of being unclear.
Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to, or hopes they will, or has even been sure they will. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not.
A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in his own reactions than a humorless person. The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to.
The awareness of being unclear is a more difficult concept than patience or a sense of humor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear to the newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in the situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they can’t be sure of different people’s roles in what is going on. “It’s like I just got here from the moon,” a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the United States said, “things are just so different here.”
小題1:The passage mainly tells us        .
A. that it’s not easy to travel abroad
B. that humor is very important in communication
C. of some characteristics in dealing with foreigners
D. of three main ways useful for communicating with foreigners
小題2: According to the passage, what characteristic should be most focused on?
A. Patience.
B. The awareness of being unclear.
C. The sense of humor.
D. Understanding each other.
小題3:“The awareness of being unclear” refers to        .
A. knowing the meaning of an exact situation
B. not stating clearly what happens
C. realizing the possible misunderstanding in a situation
D. being aware of the unclear situation
小題4:According to the writer, the Chinese students are        .
A. a hard-working student
B. recently back from the moon
C. interested in the study of moon
D. not used to the culture in America
小題5:Which of the following can best sum up the passage?
A. A. It is necessary to learn the language before you go to the country.
B. Americans are used to the culture of other countries.
C. One needs many characteristics to live in a foreign country.
D. To live in a foreign land one should get fully prepared.

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality，yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform，whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five­star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms，one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(百姓的)clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic(技工) is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse，a policeman，a barber，or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry(洗衣店）bills. They are tax­deductible(可減稅的)．They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.
Primary(主要的) among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms，the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it，without change，until retirement. When people look alike，they tend to think，speak，and act similarly，on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long­lasting，often their initial(最初的)expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain（維持，維護），requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering(洗滌) possible with many types of civilian clothes.
小題1:It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality______.
A．still judge a man by his clothes
B．hold the uniform in such high regard
C．enjoy having a professional identity
D．will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform
小題2:People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform ____.
A．suggests quality workB．discards(丟棄)his social identity
C．a(chǎn)ppears to be more practicalD．looks superior to a person in civilian clothes
小題3:The chief function of a uniform is to ____.
A．provide practical benefits to the wearerB．make the wearer catch the public eye
C．inspire the wearer ' s confidence in himselfD．provide the wearer with a professional identity
小題4:According to the passage, people wearing uniforms ____.
A．a(chǎn)re usually helpfulB．have little or no individual freedom
C．tend to lose their individualityD．enjoy greater popularity
小題5:The best title for this passage would be ____.
A．Uniforms and SocietyB．The Importance of Wearing a Uniform
C．Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD．Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms

My basketball coach at Princeton used to say, "On the court, you can tell who is selfish(自私的)."
  　When my sister Michelle brought Barack Obama home to meet the family, she said to me, "I want you to take him out to play, to see what type of man he is when he’s not around me." So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.
  　I was very nervous although I had already met Barack a few times. I was thinking this guy seemed like a good guy. We played a hard five-on-five. He was thin but not weak. He played extremely left-handed. He dealt with everything perfectly. He wasn’t the best guy out there or the worst guy. I liked the fact that he was confident but wasn’t proud. Barack was very team-oriented (有團隊精神的), very unselfish. He played as if he was one of us —he wasn’t trying to be president of Harvard Law Review. But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team, he did not pass me the ball each time. He wasn’t trying to suck up to my sister through me. I was glad to give my sister the good news, "Your boy is straight."
  　He isn’t selfish, which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader. America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient (有效率的) manner. That’s the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family.
小題1: Why does the author begin the passage with his coach’s words?
A．He wants to remember and thank his coach.
B．He wants to show that he is a basketball player.
C．He wants to tell his sister about the words.
D．He wants to use the words to test a person.
小題2:Why did Michelle ask the author to take Barack to play basketball?
A．To see whether he was confident.
B．To see whether he was good at sports.
C．To see whether he was selfish or not.
D．To see whether he could get along with others.
小題3:During the basketball game, Barack ______.
A．played best all the timeB．was strong enough to play
C．was not confidentD．wanted to be the team leader
小題4: The underlined phrase in the third paragraph can be replaced by "______".
A．please （使?jié)M意）B．know aboutC．helpD．look for
