【題目】 At the age of 12, seeing my grandfather coming into the sitting room and sit down, I said to my brother, “I hope he doesn’t sit down.”
My grandfather wrote poems on great rolls of thin white paper with a paintbrush(毛筆), but over the years I wouldn’t listen to him read his poems. I would leave my Chinese poor as it was, which made listening to him too much of an effort.
On Mondays, he’d sit at Dragon Boat Restaurant with other old Chinese men. While from Tuesdays to Fridays, he was at a small square table by himself with a pot of tea and the Chinese newspaper. Life seemed easy and peaceful for him before he got brain cancer(癌癥)and three months later, he died.
I was never particularly kind to my grandfather. At the funeral(葬禮), my heart was filled with a sense of regret rather than sadness. I didn’t even show my grandfather the commonest kindness he was supposed to receive. I was 16 years old then.
Now I am 26. A few weeks ago, during a family dinner at a Chinese restaurant, the waiter talked with my mum about my speaking to him in Chinese, wishing that his own kids could speak a little Chinese as I did. Mom told him I had stopped speaking Chinese for some years and then had suddenly started up again in my late teens.
I have often wondered if my mum knows that my improvement in Chinese had to do with Granddad’s death. Whenever I am stuck for a word, I ask her. Whenever I am with her, or relatives, I practice. Now I am confident that the next time an elderly relative wants me to listen to them, I am not only willing, but also I am able to. In fact, the more I learn, the more interest I have in the fantastic Chinese culture. For me, the learning process is like a journey to rediscover my roots(根).
【1】The underlined part in the second paragraph probably means “______” in Chinese.
A.青出于藍B.勉為其難C.苦盡甘來D.輕而易舉
【2】The writer’s grandfather used to ______on Wednesdays.
A.practice writing poems
B.drop by the writer’s house
C.have lunch at Dragon Boat Restaurant
D.sit by himself with a pot tea and a newspaper
【3】What can we infer about the writer from the passage?
A.Her grandfather died when she was 16 years old.
B.She didn’t discover her love for Chinese culture before her grandfather’s death.
C.Her mum was disappointed to see her improvement in Chinese.
D.She loved practicing Chinese with her grandfather when he was still alive.
【4】The writer wrote the passage mainly to ______.
A.show her regret and love for her dead grandfather
B.introduce her grandfather who had deep love for his motherland
C.tell us how she started her journey to rediscover her roots
D.advise young people to study Chinese poems

Many of the games played by ancient Egyptians are similar to games we still play today. Children played racing and jumping games. They also played ball games and with wooden toys. Older children played a game like chess.
The kings of Egypt (the pharaohs) were powerful enough to control their country. The people thought that the pharaoh was a god. He owned everything. Everyone had to do what he told them to do.

【題目】 I grew up in a very poor common family. My father used some unusual ways to teach me. The following is the one I value most.
On the first day of 2nd grade, my father asked me if I could read well. “Yes, I can,” I said. So he gave me a map with street names and directions on how to walk to school. My school is 3 miles away, and I had never been off my home street by myself, ever.
My father said, “Lily, everything you need to know is written on the map, read the map and follow the directions.” My father kissed me goodbye and sent me out the door. I was afraid. How could I walk to school alone? On my way to school, I cried as I walked.
I don’t know how long it took me to get to school, but I do remember how I felt when I came around the last street corner, and saw my school. I jumped up and down. I wished I could tell my father that I made it.
My father wasn’t there when I got home and I was asleep when he got home. The next day I waited for him to ask what had happened. He never did. Years later, I asked him why he did that and why he didn’t care what had happened. He just looked at me for a while and then said, “I didn’t have to ask you, because I knew. I followed you all the way. I saw you jump up and down at the last street corner. I felt what you felt.” Then I understood and cried.
