I watched a little girl playing basketball every day from my bedroom window. One day, I asked her why she practiced so much. She said, “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship(獎學金). I like basketball and I want to be the best player in college. My dad told me, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” She never changed her mind. Whenever she was in junior high school or senior high school.

She told me that her coach said she was too short to be a good basketball player, so she should stop dreaming about going to college. She was heartbroken and it made me feel bad, too. Then she smiled and told me her father said to her, “If you really want to play for the scholarship of a good college, nothing but yourself can stop your dream.” The next year, she and her team went to a big game she was seen by a coach of a famous college team and was offered a scholarship to the women’s basketball team of their college.

Leonardo da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa in 1503. He was working on an important painting for a church at the time, but the church painting was not going well. An Italian businessman asked da Vinci to paint a picture of the businessman’s second wife. This is the woman who can be seen in the Mona Lisa.
All in all, the Mona Lisa is a very good example of da Vinci’s work. Da Vinci uses darkness and light in a clever way in the painting.
Da Vinci loved science and math. Right away a person can see that there is a lot of geometry (幾何) in the Mona Lisa. The face of Mona Lisa is made of many circles and round shapes like balls. Even her smile can be seen as a small part of a large circle.
The woman in the painting is sitting on a balcony, and mountains can be seen behind her. Da Vinci loved to study rocks and mountains, so these can be seen over and over again in his other paintings.
The woman is sitting with her knees to the side. Her head is turned to look out of the painting. Her hands are held together in front of her. This way of sitting is now used by many artists when they are painting a picture of a man or woman today.

Born into a farmer’s family, life was not easy when I was a kid. We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from. I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family.
A storyteller once came to the marketplace, and I went to listen to him. My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job. But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, I couldn't help retelling stories I'd heard that day. She listened impatiently at first, since in her eyes professional（職業(yè)的） storytellers were smooth-talking men—nothing good ever came out of their mouths. But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories, and from that day on, she never gave me any task on market days, unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories. As a repayment（回報）for Mother's kindness and a way to show off my memory, I'd retell the stories for her in lively detail. Soon, she wasn't the only member of my audience, which later included my elder sisters, my aunts, even my stubborn grandmother.
I knew she was worried about me. Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village, for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much. Mother often reminded me not to talk so much, wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager. However, my natural desire（渴望）to talk never went away, and that is what makes my name – Mo Yan, which means ‘no speaking’. This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself, which is important for writers who are also considered as storytellers.
小題1:Mo Yan lived a/an ________ life when he was young.
A．hardB．colourfulC．easyD．rich
小題2:From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A．little Mo Yan was interested in selling vegetables
B．his mother was attracted by the retold story at first
C．his mother didn’t let him listen to the new stories again
D．little Mo Yan had quite a good memory
小題3:Why did his mother dislike the professional storytellers?
A．Because she thought they never said anything good.
B．Because she thought they couldn’t make much money.
C．Because she thought they would affect Mo Yan’s schoolwork.
D．Because she thought most people didn’t like listening to stories.
小題4:In Mo Yan’s opinion, a writer should be a ________ child when they were young.
A．silentB．modestC．talkativeD．trouble-making
小題5:Which is the best title（標題）of the passage?
A．My Unlucky ChildhoodB．A Storyteller’s Childhood
C．My Kind GrandmotherD．More talking leads to success
