Dad taught me a lot about life, especially its hard times. I remembered one of his ___21___ one night when I was ready to ___22___ a political campaign I was losing, and wrote about it in my diary.
Tired, feeling the months of ___23___ in vain, I went up to my study to make some notes. I was looking for a pencil in the back of my desk drawer ___24___ I turned up one of Dad’s old business cards that he was proud of: Andrea Cuomo Italian-American Groceries --- Fine Imported Products. Then I thought about how he ___25___ with difficult situations. A lot of pictures ___26___ into my mind, but one scene came sharply into ___27___.
We had just moved to Holliswood, New York. We had our own house for the first time; it had some land around it, even trees. One, ___28___, was a great blue spruce (云杉) that must have been 40 feet tall.
Less than a week after we moved in, there was a terrible storm. We came home from the store that night to find the spruce pulled almost ___29___ from the ground and thrown onto the street. When my brother Frankie and I saw the spruce, our hearts ___30___. But not Dad’s.
The rain was falling. Then he ___31___ , “Ok, we’re going to push him up!” “ What are you talking about, Dad? The ___32___ are out of the ground!” “ Shut up, we’re going to push him up, he’s going to grow again.” We couldn’t say ___33___ to him. So we ___34___ him into the house and got what rope ___35___ was and tied it around the top of the tree that lay on the street, and then he stood up by the house, ___36___ me pulling on the rope, and Frankie in the street in the rain, ___37___ to push up the great blue spruce. In no ___38___ at all, we had him standing up straight again! Dad ___39___ the stakes (樁) in the ground, tied the rope from the trunk to the stakes, and said, “ Don’t worry. He’s going to grow again…”
I looked at the card and wanted to cry. I ___40 ___ wait to get back into the campaign.

"There's one more thing," she said   40 . "What' that?" "This is very important, I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."
The Rabbi stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.
“That surprises you, doesn't it?” the young woman asked. "Well, to be honest, I'm   41  by the request," said the Rabbi.
The young woman   42 . “My grandmother once told me this story, and from then on, I have always done so. I have also, always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of   43 . 
In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main   44 were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.'

So, I just want people to see me there in that casket（棺材）with a fork in my hand and I want them to   46 "What's with the fork?"  47  I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork…the best is yet to come."
The Rabbi's eyes were   48  up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of   49  than he did.

She knew that something better was coming. At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork   51  in her right  hand. Over and over, the Rabbi heard the question "What's with the fork?" And over and over he   52 .
During his message, the Rabbi told the people of the   53  he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and what it symbolized to   54 .

One Sunday a few of us decided to take advantage of the first sunny day we’d have for ages to take a trip down to the coast to visit the penguins again. Last time I went down there was a couple of months ago and it was a dull cold day. Sunday couldn’t have been more different — clear skies and sunshine made it feel like summer, although it was still -25°C.
Six of us drove to the coast. It was the first time we’d been off the base on our own without our field assistant, so it had a slightly different feeling — more like a few friends going to the seaside than an Antarctic field trip! When we reached Windy Creek, we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying seabirds, which are seldom seen there.
Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the main group to come and check us out. We’d been told that then they were nursing their chicks (剛孵出的幼雛) and they would be more careful and nervous than last time, but that didn’t seem to be the case. We walked across to the main group which were stretched for a couple of miles along the coast. We sat down for some sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers. Without any attackers on land, they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose (擺姿勢) for photos.
Before heading back, we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks, which had grown dramatically (明顯地) since our last visit. It was such a nice day.
小題1:
When did the trip most probably happen?
A．On a dull Sunday.B．On a warm Sunday.
C．On a summer Sunday.D．On a winter Sunday.
小題2:
It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the six people _____.
A．felt a little nervous
B．felt a little excited
C．were left all by themselves on their Antarctic base
D．got bored with staying with their field assistant
小題3:
What does the writer mean by saying “but that didn’t seem to be the case”?
A．They were told a lie.
B．A wrong decision was made.
C．The truth was the opposite.
D．They didn’t believe what they were told.
小題4:
The six people did the following during the trip EXCEPT _____.
A．feed the penguins
B．take pictures of the penguins
C．enjoy watching flying seabirds
D．watch the young penguins

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set foals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set---and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.
小題1:.
The article is written to throw light on ______.
A．the importance of setting goalsB．the way of setting goals
C．the winners of competitionsD．the goals in life
小題2:.
The example of two drivers is adopted in order to ______.
A．compare the difference of goalsB．explain the traffic rules
C．help readers understand the importance of goalsD．tell the function of a map
小題3:.
The main idea of the fourth paragraph is that ______.
A．it’s better to write a goal downB．written goals can’t be forgotten easily
C．try to make yourself aware of your goalsD．written goals can be reviewed regularly

When I was nine years old I lived in a small town. I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back of a children’s magazine. I thought to myself I could do this. I begged my mother to let me send for the kit (配件). Two weeks later the kit arrived. The next three hours later, I returned home with no card and a pocket full of money shouting, “Mama, all the people couldn’t wait to buy my cards!” A salesperson was born.
When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Ziegler. I remember sitting in the dark hall listening to Mr. Ziegler raise everyone’s spirits up to ceiling. I left there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to make people feel like that.” My father asked me what I meant. “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Ziegler,” I replied. A dream was born.
Recently, I began pursuing（追求） my dream of motivating others. I realized that everything I had accomplished — the graduate degree, the successful sales career, speaking appointments, training and managing for a major fortune 100 company as a senior manager— had prepared me for this moment. I told my boss who was a great leader I would leave the company though I might not reach such a height in career. He told me to proceed（進行） and he believed I would succeed.
Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job. We had recently bought a new home and needed both incomes to make the monthly mortgage (抵押) payment and now we were done to no income. I even planned to turn back to my former company, knowing they wanted me to stay but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward rather than end up with a mouth full of “if onlys” later on. A motivational speaker was born.
When I held fast to my dream, even during the tough times, the miracles（奇跡） really began to happen. In a short time period my husband found a better job. We didn’t miss a mortgage payment. And I was able to book several speaking appointments with new clients (客戶). I discovered the incredible power of dreams. I loved my old job, my workmates and the company I left, but it was time to get on with my dream. To celebrate my success I had a local artist paint my new office as a garden. At the top of one wall she marked, “The world always makes way for the dreamer.”
小題1:Why was the kit sent for?
A．Selling greeting cards.B．Collecting greeting cards.
C．Buying greeting cards.D．Sending greeting cards.
小題2:When did the author decide to become a motivational speaker?
A．After buying a new home by mortgage.
B．After giving notice to leave her safe position in the company.
C．After finding a job in a major fortune 100 company.
D．After listening to Mr. Ziegler’s inspiring speech.
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A．She was once an excellent manager.
B．She left her post at the height of her career.
C．She was not sure whether the former company could accept her.
D．She didn’t miss paying the monthly mortgage payment.
小題4:What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?
A．Carry on with your dreams and you will be successful.
B．Risk everything you have for a dream and you will succeed.
C．The world belongs to dreamers.
D．Everyone will find their dreams.
