A young man traveled by train. As it was running across a wild land, the passengers looked out of windows without aims.

When the train came near a turning, it slowed down and then a simple house came into view. It was the only house the passengers saw on such a long journey. Everybody on the train admired it with eyes wide open. Some passengers even began a discussion about it.

The young man was also impressed by the scene. On his return, he got off the train at the nearest station from the house and found his way there. Its owner told him he was troubled by the noise of the train and that he wanted to sell the house but nobody would buy it.

Soon the young man paid 30,000 dollars for the house, thinking it a wonderful place for advertisement. It faced the railway turning, where the train had to slow down and the bored passengers would cast their eyes at the house to refresh their minds.

The young man tried to contact big companies and make them realize the place was the perfect for advertisement. Finally the Coca-Cola Company put up an advertisement on the house. The young man got 180,000 dollars for three year’s rent.

Good chances always hide somewhere around us, waiting for those who are careful and smart enough to find them.（改編于《初中英語讀本9A》）

【題目】閱讀與回答問題

Lizzie was born in 1842. She lived in a small house on a farm with her parents and two brothers. Her father and older brother worked in the fields picking cotton, and her mother and younger brother worked in the vegetable garden. Lizzie worked in the farmer’s house.

The farmer didn’t like Lizzie’s older brother and gave him the hardest jobs. Lizzie was afraid that one day the farmer would hurt her brother, or sell him to another farmer.

Many slaves(奴隸) tried to run away to the free states. But most were caught by slave catchers or tracking dogs. However some slaves found clever ways to escape(逃跑）. Lizzie was one of them.

Everyday she went to the farmer’s house, where she made beautiful clothes for the farmer’s daughters. She was allowed to keep small pieces of left-over materials, and she stitched(縫) these together into small patterns. Then she stitched the small patterns together to make a quilt. The patterns all had names such as ‘Flying Geese’, ‘Bear’s Paw’, or ‘Nine Patch’.

That quilt was really a map. Lizzie hung it on the clothes line outside the house, and her brother and other slaves saw Lizzie’s map and knew which way to go.

They also knew that Lizzie’s cabin was a “safety house” because a quilt with a sky blue square in the middle meant “safety house”. At each safe house, they were hidden and given food. With the quilt’s help, they knew the way to get to the next safe house until they got to the free states in the north.(改編于《新理念英語》)

【題目】In the past, many people depended on horses for transportation(運(yùn)輸), farming and other kinds of work. Nowadays a lot of people still like to ride horses. So it is not surprising that many expressions about it are still used by Americans today.

Long ago, people who were rich or important rode horses that were very tall. Today, if a girl is too proud and looks down upon others, you might say she should "get off her high horse."

Sometimes you get information "straight from the horse's mouth." It comes directly from the person who knows most about the subject and is the best source. Let us say your teacher tells you there is going to be a test tomorrow. You could say you got the information "straight from the horse's mouth." However, you would not want to call your teacher a horse!

You may have heard this expression: "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink." That means you can give someone advice but you cannot force him to do something he does not want to do.

In politics, a "dark-horse candidate" is someone who is not well known to the public. Sometimes, a dark horse unexpectedly wins an election(選舉).

Another piece of advice is "do not change horses in midstream." You would not want to get off one horse and on to another in the middle of a river. Or make major changes in an activity that has already begun.
