That summer I drank every day, everywhere I went. I had a bottle in my drawer next to me and a bottle next to my bed. I never did another drug, but I drank so much that my family finally asked a priest for help. My father gave me a bottle of medicine for alcoholism that produces unpleasant symptoms when users drink alcohol. I drank while taking it, which made me very sick. And I still drank.
When the priest came, he said, "Jimmy, doctors said that with your diseases and the amount of drinking you’re doing, you’d be lucky to live another six months. So your choice is either to stop drinking and live or to continue drinking and die within six months.”
I said, "I know I can't stop, so guess I'll have to die." The priest told my family what I said. My little brother–who is like my soul mate, looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, "But we don't want you to die." All I could think of was how desperately I had to get out of that room at that moment and have a drink.
But I finally stopped drinking. I was on the care team of my dentist Russell. A lot of people in New York knew him. At the time he was the most famous dentist in the city. He drank heavily and was also with AIDS, so I was selected to be on his care team. Everybody on the team was sober (清醒) but me. He went through dementia (癡呆) and died so quickly before my eyes. I stopped drinking and I’ve been with the disease for 35 years now.

A．He wanted him to cure his illness.
B．He was trying to keep him dying.
C．He thought the medicine could make him sick.
D．He believed it could prevent him drinking.
小題2: What did the priest mean by saying to the author “…you’d be lucky to live another six months” in the second paragraph?
A．The author would die after six weeks.
B．The author was too lucky to live for six months.
C．The author could hardly live for six months.
D．The author’s luck was only six months.
小題3: How did the author stop drinking?
A．The dentist Russell helped him to stop it.
B．He was persuaded by the dentist Russell’s death.
C．His care team managed to inspire him.
D．His little brother’s soul saved him.
小題4: What can we learn from the above story?
A．Drinking heavily increases AIDS patients’ illness.
B．Priests can cure many AIDS patients’ illnesses.
C．Drug taking and heavily drinking can cure AIDS patients.
D．Team work and patience can cure AIDS patients.

小題1:D
小題2:C

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I'm so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuseme too... I wasn't  36  watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went  37  our way after saying goodbye.
But at  38 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 39 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I  40  knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皺眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 41_ . I didn't realize how harshly(苛刻地) I had spoken.
That night, when I lay   42  in bed, God's quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While  43  with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite... Go look around on the kitchen floor, you'll find some flowers there by the  44 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She  45  them herself-- pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the  46 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her 47 : “Wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I  48 them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you'd like them, especially the  49 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today... And I  50  have fussed（慌亂）at you that way.”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that's okay... I still love you 51 .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the  52  you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave _53  will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our  54  than into our families--an unwise investment indeed.
Remember that  55  =" (F)ATHER" -- (A)ND--(M)OTHER -- (I)--(L)OVE--(Y)OU.

When Dave was eighteen, he bought a second-hand car for ￡200 so that he could travel to and from work more  36  than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but it got so old, and it was costing him 37 much in repairs, that he decided that he had better 38 it.

Success is often measured by the ability to overcome adversity（逆境）. But it is often the belief of others that gives us the courage（勇氣）to try.
J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, began writing at age 6. Her good friend-Sean became the first person to encourage her and help her build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer.
“He was the first person with whom I really discussed my serious ambition（志向） to be a writer. He was also the only person who thought I was bound to（注定）be a success at it, which meant much more to me than I ever told him at the time.”
Though there were many difficulties, Rowling continued her writing, particularly fantasy stories. But it wasn't until l990 that she first came up with the idea about Harry Potter. As she recalls（回憶）, it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that “the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into my head. To my great disappointment, I didn't have a pen with me, and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one. I think, now, that this was probably a good thing, because I simply sat and thought, for four (delayed train) hours, and all the details came up in my brain, and this thin, black-haired, bespectacled（戴眼鏡的）boy who didn't know he was a wizard became more and more real to me.”
That same year, her mother died after a ten-year fight with serious diseases, which deeply affected her writing. She went on to marry and had a daughter, but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.
During this time, Rowling was diagnosed with depression（診斷患有抑郁癥）. Unemployed, she finished her first novel in area cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep. After being refused by l2 publishing houses, the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small British publishing house.
Now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages, J. K. Rowling is the highest earning novelist in history. And it all began with her friend’s encouragement as well as her ambition to write.
小題1: Who believed J. K. Rowling was to be a good writer?
A．Her friend Sean.B．Her mother.
C．Her daughter.D．Her husband.
小題2:Rowling first came up with the idea about Harry Potter________.
A．at the age of 6
B．on a train journey
C．after her mother's death
D．in her secondary school
小題3: She felt disappointed on the train because_________.
A．her train was delayed for four hours
B．she didn't have a pen with her
C．her mind suddenly went blank
D．no one would offer her help
小題4: It can be concluded from Paragraph 5 and 6 that Rowling is_________.
A．open-minded B．warm-hearted
C．good-natured D．strong-willed
小題5: The text mainly tells us_________.
A．adversity makes a good novelist

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi was born in Budapest on September 16, 1893. In 1911 he entered his uncle’s laboratory where he studied until the outbreak of World War One, when he joined the army. He served on the Italian and Russian fronts, and he was permitted to leave the army in 1917 after being wounded in action. He completed his studies in Budapest before he went to Hamburg for a two-year course in physical chemistry. In 1920 he became an assistant at a university in Leiden, the Netherlands and from 1922 to 1926 he worked with H. J. Hamburger at the Physiology Institute, Groningen, the Netherlands.
In 1926, Szent-Gyorgyi was ready to end his own life after an embarrassing problem in his career. The scientist, thirty-two, had written a paper and handed it to his boss for approval to publish.

Szent-Gyorgyi’s life changed. He discovered the oxidation-preventing (防氧化的) action of vitamin C. He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937. He accounted for his success by saying that discovery is seeing what everyone else has seen but thinking what nobody else has thought.

Jeanne Calment, a French woman, become a record breaker on 17 October 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.
Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France, her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes here as being “more like a 90-year-old in good health” than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on the 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied, “A very short one.” She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.
So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a say, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying: “Sorry, I’m still alive!”
小題1: How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?
A．She feels upset and unhappy.
B．She is cheerful and humorous.
C．She likes to live much longer.
D．She feels she is going to die very soon.
小題2: The text seems to suggest that Jeanne Calment owes her good health and long life to______.
A．smoking only little every day
B．neither smoking nor drinking
C．always drinking two glasses of strong red wine a day and never smoking
D．the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercises
小題3: Which of the following could best explain the underlined word “genes” in the third paragraph?
A．good habits of body-building.
B．Some materials that control the development of a living thing.
C．Comfortable living conditions.
D．Something necessary for a person to keep his life.
小題4:Why did Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive!” to the local lawyer?
A．She had an agreement with the lawyer when she was 80.
B．The lawyer has not paid her enough rent yet.
C．The lawyer has paid her more money than the value of the house.
D．The house she sold to the lawyer was worth the money already paid.
