Science has discovered that as each bird flaps (拍打) its wings, it makes uplift for the bird behind it. By flying in a “V” formation (隊形) , the whole group adds at least 71 percent greater flying range (范圍) than if each bird flew on its own.. In autumn, geese head south for the winter, flying in a “V” formation .

People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily, because they are traveling with the help of one another.

When a goose falls out of formation, it won’t try to go it alone but will quickly get back into formation.

If we have the sense of a goose, we can stay in formation with people who are heading in the same direction as we are. When the head goose gets tired, it goes back in the wing and another goose flies to the point. It is sensible to take turns to lead, whether with people or with geese flying south.

Finally, when a goose gets sick or is wounded (受傷) by a gunshot, two other geese fall down with that goose. They follow it down for protection and to lend help. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies.

If we have the sense of a goose, we can stand by each other like that.

1.If a goose falls out of formation , what will it do?

A.It will try to go alone.

B. It will quickly get back into formation.

C. It will ask others for help.

D. It will find another formation.

2.The word “sensible” in the six paragraph probably means__________ in Chinese.

A.明顯的 B.意識到的

C.通情達理的 D.明智的

3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage.

A.The whole group adds at most 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.

B.In winter, geese head south .

C.We can’t stay in formation with people who are heading in the same direction as we are.

D.When a goose gets sick, two other geese fall down with that goose.

4. From the passage we know that _________.

A Teamwork is important.

B. People should be brave.

C. Nothing seek(追求), nothing find.

D. Failure is the mother of success.

Language is a way to communicate with each other.We started to l 1. language when we were born.However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants (移民) are having many problems between the first generation (第一代) and the second generation because they don’t have the s 2. native language.Also, the second generation is losing their identity (身份).Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different c 3. to succeed in the States.Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a j 4. and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more s 5. .Because of this situation, their children are losing their identity, and even more, they are ignoring (忽視) their p 6. who don’t speak good English.

任務型閱讀

下面文章中有五處（第1-5題）需要添加標題。請從以下選項（A、B、C、D、E和F）中選出符合各段意思的小標題及符合文本大意的總標題。選項中有一項是多余選項。

A. TV makes kids overweight.

B. TV makes kids stupid.

C. Disadvantages of watching TV.

D. TV helps kids get to sleep.

E. TV makes kids violent(暴力的).

F. Wrong ideas of television’s effect on children.

1.______________

The average American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒謬的) sayings have appeared:

2. ______________

Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.

3._______________

The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence（暴力）instead of those suitable for their age.

4. _______________

An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A wide spread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.

5._______________

The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have bad sleep habits. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.
