Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holiday meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership --- a shop selling cars --- was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the show room.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
“Thank you”--- two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.

There are many kinds of friends. Some are always        you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only        friends leave footprints.
I shall always recall the autumn and the girl with the        . I know she will always be my best friend. I could see the yellow leaves         in the cool wind. In such a        , I liked walking alone in the leaves,         to the sound of them. Autumn is a harvest season. However,         is uninteresting. The free days always get me      . But one day, the sound of a violin       into my ears like a stream flowing in the mountains. A young girl, standing in the wind, was        in playing her violin.  I had        seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been     _  there for so long but my existence(存在) did not seem to disturb（打擾）her.
Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building        I went downstairs to watch her performance. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became       . Though we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good       .
One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly       . To my surprise, the girl came over to me. “You must like violin，” she said. “Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked. Suddenly, a        expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual. “I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave, I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that       me,” she said. “In fact, it was your playing        gave me a meaningful autumn，” I answered, “Let's be friends.” The girl smiled, and so did I.
I never heard her play again in my life. But I will always remember the fine figure(身影) of the girl. She is like a       －so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off much light that makes the autumn beautiful.

Bobby Moresco grew up in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, a poor working-class neighborhood on Manhattan’s West Side. But Hell’s Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen. Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners. Fearing their making fun of him, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17. If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshoreman or criminal. Not an actor.
Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east. He studied acting, turned out for all the cattle calls (試戲通告)-- and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000. “I wasn’t a good actor, but I had a driving need to do something different with my life,” he says.
He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a waiter. “ My father said, 'Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter.' ”But Moresco kept working at his chosen career.
Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a killing. Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain of Hell’s Kitchen. Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brother’s killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988. A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay.
His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood. By 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him. Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11. The two worked on the writing Crash, but every studio in town turned it down. They kept trying. Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see hard lives in modern America.
Crash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success. It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three -- Best Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hell’s Kitchen.
At age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight success. “If you have something you want to do in life, don’t think about the problems,” he says, “think about other ways to get it done.” 
小題1:Why Bobby Moresco did not tell anyone that he started taking lessons at age 17?
A．He wanted to give his girlfriend a surprise.
B．His girlfriend did not allow him to do this.
C．He was afraid of being laughed at.
D．He had no talent for acting.
小題2:Which of the following sentences is NOT true?
A．His father did not support his work as a bartender.
B．Before he became an overnight success, his life experienced ups and downs.
C．His brother’s death inspired his writing Half-Deserted Streets.
D．Moresco grew up in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen which is a few blocks east of Broadway.
小題3:The Studio executives turned the script Crash down because ______________.
A．they thought the script would not be popular.
B．the script was not well written.
C．they had no money to make the film based on the script.
D．they thought Moresco was not famous.
小題4:Which of the following can best describe Bobby Moresco?
A．ambitious and persistentB．shy but hardworking
C．caring and braveD．considerate and modest

Twenty years is just a blink in time. But 20 years is also long enough for a man to grow up. It is always painful. For Andrew Agassi, maturing in the spotlight of international tennis competition was even harder.
On September 3, the American tennis player said a tearful goodbye to his 21-year career after a third-round defeat in the US Open. The 36-year-old tried his best, but was unable to keep up with German Benjamin Becker, more than ten years his junior.
"The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn't say is what I've found," Agassi said to the fans. "I have found inspiration and you willed me to succeed." It was an emotional speech at the end of a long career.
Agassi hated tennis as a teenager as much as he loves it now. His father made him play when he was a child. He got bored, and became a rebel(叛逆). The strict training that his father pushed upon him got in the way of his wild lifestyle. He grew hair long, wore colorful clothes and spat at a judge. Over the years, he has made bad jokes during news conferences. Asked what he would say to his 17-year-old self, Agassi answered, "I would say, I understand you a lot more than I want to be you."
The turning point in Agassi's career came in 1992 when he unexpectedly won his first Grand Slam (大滿貫賽事)at Wimbledon. It was the first time Agassi understood what real champions finally understand: winning is a test of courage and not just power, it's a marathon, not a sprint(短跑).
And what a marathon Agassi was about to begin. He cut his long hair, got fitter and tightened up emotionally. On the court, he ranked No. 1 for almost two years. His lowest point came in 1997 when his ranking dropped to No. 141. He didn't quit though. "I knew that I would try to get the most out of myself every day from that day forward. That was my promise," he said. "That never stopped."
小題1:The underlined phrase "more than ten years his junior" in the second paragraph means _________.
A．having lower ranking than Agassi for more than ten years
B．having higher ranking than Agassi for more than ten years
C．more than ten years older than Agassi
D．more than ten years younger than Agassi
小題2:How did Agassi feel when he was defeated in the competition?
A．He felt angry with the judge
B．He felt satisfied with the scoreboard
C．He felt regretful but encouraged
D．He felt in great desperation
小題3:The passage implies ______.
A．after 1997 Agassi began to take up marathon besides tennis
B．Agassi began to play tennis before he was fifteen
C．Agassi hesitated to quit his sports career
D．the reason why Agassi lost his last competition was that he lacked courage and power
小題4:The score of the match between Agassi and Becker is ______.
A．0-2B．0-3 C．1-3 D．2-3

A famous Renoir had been stolen from a museum. Detective Earl Blackman was to work on the case.
Everyone was in the dark before an art professor came to point out the false picture. So the museum even didn’t know when the picture had been stolen. Thousands of people came to visit the museum every day. After long work, some art students were focused on.
The five students who had made copies of the Renoir during the last six months were asked to bring their copies to the museum. The fifth student said she had sold her copy, which was later proved to be the one in the museum. She, however, could only remember the buyer was a man with the little finger on his left hand missing.
Blackman went back and stayed in his office looking at all the pictures of known thieves. No success.
