When Jane Austen (1775--1817) wrote her novels in England, she was writing about a   21 that most of us would not recognize.
But today Austen’s books are in great   22  than ever. In the last ten years, five or six novels have been   23  into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be bestsellers. So why is Austen still   24 ?
Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University argued that her novels still  25  people because they  26 the same issues today as they were when she wrote them.
Her novels are about women   27 to find a perfect husband, but also  28 issues surrounding marriages, friendships and the family. “The plots are fairly timeless about human interaction   29 are familiar to us,” Jenkyns says.

This is a story from 28 years ago. My dad was a used car salesman. Every Thursday night, he would head off to Shreveport, LA for an auction. Most of the time, I drove a car over there for him so he could sell it at the auction.
One day, I was riding with my dad when he noticed a hitch-hiker with a backpack. Without hesitation, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride. Dad asked him his name, and proceeded to talk to him about all sorts of things. Dad asked him where he was going. The hitch-hiker told him he was heading for the west. I can’t recall why but he told Dad a lot of things that had occurred to him and that persuaded him to make that decision. He talked about the tragic events that occurred to him several years before. He was low in spirits, but I could see that the hitch-hiker’s attitude was changing as someone was really listening to him.
We drove 45 minutes before the hitch-hiker got off. We pulled over and Dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitch-hiker a twenty-dollar bill. The guy smiled. He nearly lit up right there on the cold, dark highway.
We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely amazed by what I had just witnessed. I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch-hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one. While reflecting upon that story I came to understand that just one single kind act could change someone’s life, and I am sure that my father’s deed made that poor man’s day.
小題1:The underlined words “that decision” in Para. 2 refer to ___________.
A．catching the carB．heading for the west
C．talking about his experiencesD．driving 45 minutes
小題2:What made the hitch-hiker become less upset?
A．The writer’s father offering him a free ride
B．The writer’s father really listening to him
C．The writer’s father agreeing to driving him to his destination
D．The writer’s father talking to him about all sorts of things
小題3:When his father helped the hitch-hiker, the writer ___________.
A．was deeply movedB．strongly disagreed
C．a(chǎn)dmired his fatherD．couldn’t understand
小題4:Which of the following words cannot be used to describe the father?
A．willing to helpB．easy-goingC．far-sightedD．full of sympathy
小題5:The author wrote the text mainly to _________.
A．show his respect for his father
B．tell a story about his kind father
C．prove his father is the best teacher

A daughter’s duty? Adult daughters are often expected to caregiver for older parents. In 2007, Jorjan Sarich and her dad moved from California to Idaho. It was where he wanted to live his rest time.
“I left my occupation, I left my friends; he did the same thing,” said Sarich, who bought a house with her father, George Snyder, in the China Gardens neighborhood of Hailey after his health began to decline. Though a graduate student struggling to finish her dissertation（論文）, Sarich chose to be her dad’s full-time caregiver.
“It’s only now, several years later, that I’m realizing how much work it was. It’s the kind of exhaustion（疲憊）that sleep doesn’t cure,” she said.
About 6 million Americans provide care to elderly relatives or friends living outside of nursing homes. Laurel Kennedy, author of “The Daughter Trap” (Thomas Dunne Books, $25.95), says that women bear a disproportionate（不成比例的）share of the burden — about 70 percent of hands-on care giving such as bathing.
“I want to be clear: Women don’t hate this,” Kennedy said. “What they hate is that everyone just assumes they’ll do it.”
Kennedy is calling for a social revolution equal to the rise of affordable child care and day care: Employers should help working caregivers by offering accommodations. Men should step up more often. It’s unfair that women are always chosen to provide care for an elderly family member.
Despite the hard work it took on Sarich — interrupted sleep and the knowledge that his 2009 death was the end game, she would do it again. Since about half a century had gone by, she wasn’t the person he remembered, and he wasn’t the person she remembered either. Caring for her father changed how each saw the other.
小題1: Why did Jorjan Sarich caregiver for her father?
A．It was a very easy job.B．She had no work to do.
C．It was the social practice.D．She lived with her father.
小題2:What can we infer from the book “The Daughter Trap”?
A．Daughters don’t like care giving.
B．Daughters devote a lot to care giving.
C．Care giving is daughters’ duty.
D．Care giving should be sons’ duty.
小題3:What does the underlined phrase “a social revolution” refer to?
A．The child care revolution.B．The reform in day care.
C．The social development.D．The change in care giving.
小題4:How many years did Jorjan Sarich work as her father’s full-time caregiver?
A．Five years.B．Only one year.C．Four years.D．Two years.
小題5:In her care giving, Jorjan Sarich _____.
A．got along well with her fatherB．was a little tired of her father
C．changed her father in every wayD．felt it was unfair to do so

On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery（公墓）. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism (批評(píng)) of President Lincoln at the time. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The other speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman (政治家) and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.
It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Later that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. His speech lasted an hour and 57 minutes and it was a perfect example of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause（掌聲）. Lincoln turned to a friend and said, “I have failed again.”
Some newspapers at first criticized (批評(píng)) the speech. But little by little, as people read the speech, they began to like its simplicity（簡潔）and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.

Most people know that a wedding ring is symbolic of the bond(連結(jié)物) of love and commitment（承諾） between two people. But not everyone knows about the history behind this small yet powerful symbol. The history of the wedding ring goes back not just hundreds but thousands of years. No other currently practiced wedding tradition has been around as long. 
The Egyptians were the first recorded civilization to use the wedding ring. In Egyptian hieroglyphics（象形文字） a circle represented eternity. Once a woman accepted the ring she became the “property” of the person who gave it to her and she was in a sense “his.” The first wedding ring could have been made of braided grass or hay （which would have been changed often）, ivory, bone, or leather.  Eventually, metal was used, but the first wedding bands were crude（未加工的） and rough. However, the sentiment（情感） remained the same-eternal commitment and love. 
The Egyptians wore the wedding ring on the left hand because it was believed that a vein（靜脈） in the left hand went straight to the heart. This tradition is still commonly practiced today in most parts of the world largely for practical purposes （most people are right handed.）It is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. But there are some countries and groups which do not follow this tradition.  In the Jewish faith, the wedding ring is put on the index finger. Roman Catholics traditionally wore their wedding band on the right hand, and in many countries and regions in Europe some people still follow this tradition. 
It is interesting to note that in the long history of the wedding ring that it is only in the last century that men have begun to wear them. However, now both men and women show their love and commitment by exchanging rings on their wedding day. 
Once you begin shopping for rings you may be amazed by the choices that await you. There are several different types of metals: traditional gold, white gold, platinum, and titanium. You can have an inscription（刻字） put on the inside of the band（鑲邊） if you like. Some people are even choosing a tattoo（刺花） band. The styles vary from a simple, yet elegant（優(yōu)雅的） band to an elaborate（精致的） ring covered with jewels. If you do not buy the wedding and engagement rings as a set you will want to be sure the styles are compatible（一致的）. Choose carefully because this choice will need to stand the test of eternity. 
小題1:What would be the best title for this passage?
A．History of rings B．Interesting facts about rings
C．Different beliefs about ringsD．The meaning of the rings.
小題2: What may the word “eternity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．EleganceB．MarriageC．WeddingD．Foreverness
小題3: Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The meaning of the rings remained unchanged.
B．One should be careful of choosing a ring in a shop from different kinds.
C．Jewish are so faithful to their beliefs to wear rings on the fourth finger.
D．Now most people in the world still follow Roman Catholics traditionally.
小題4:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Men were looked upon by women for thousands years.
B．Only women have the right to make themselves beautiful.
C．women wore rings thousands of years earlier than men.
D．You can have an inscription put on the inside the band.

Yesterday the police were joined by more than 20 volunteers in the continuing search for the two missing teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure tour of Cape York Peninsula.
This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.
The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said, “The travelers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.”
The three travelers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鱷魚). Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn’t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.
A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the “Be Careful about crocodiles” sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the photo left behind? Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest? The police said that the travelers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the point (地點(diǎn)) where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown.

A．a(chǎn) newspaperB．a(chǎn) magazineC．a(chǎn) storybookD．a(chǎn) guidebook
