Wilma was born on June 23, 1940 in St Bethlehem, Tennesse. By the time she was 6, Wilma Rudolph was given metal braces (支架) to aid her in walking. She started receiving treatment with help from her family. A few years later, she walked without any assistance into the church.
When she was in junior high, she joined the basketball team. She finally made an appeal to compete in games again and when her wish was finally permitted, she amazed everyone by leading the team to an undefeated season and the state championships. Though they lost the championship title in the end, Wilma Rudolph earned the attention of the women’s track coach，Ed Template at Tennessee State University and was invited to join the "Tigerbelles"．Her efforts paid off as she turned out to be so good that the Tigerbelles invited her to join them in the national Olympic team trails. Not only did she make it into the team, but she won a bronze medal in the 4×100 m relay at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. Four years later, Rudolph set a world 200 m record (22.9 seconds) at the 1960 US Championships. At the Rome Olympics in 1960, she competed in the 100 m, 200 m and 4×100 m relay, and equaled the world record of 11.3 seconds in the semifinals (半決賽) of the 100 m. She won the final by three metres in 11.0 seconds, but it was not accepted as a world record.
Wilma Rudolph’s extraordinary achievements in Rome made her a darling of the European press who gave her the nickname "The Black Gazelle (羚羊)" and "The Black Pearl". She also became the first woman in American history to win 3 gold medals in the Olympics and was crowned "the Fastest Woman in the World", Wilma Rudolph’s spirit inspired people such as Jackie Joyner Kersee and Florence Griffith Joyner who became the next woman to win 3 gold medals.
小題1:What problem did Wilma face according to Paragraph 1?
A．Not being able to speak.B．Not being able to walk.
C．Losing her sight.D．Losing her hearing.
小題2:We learn that Wilma broke the world record in________.

試題分析：這是一篇人物傳記，Wilma在六歲時，需要別人的幫助才能走路，但在她成長的過程中，她通過不斷地自我挑戰(zhàn)與超越，她最終在體育界創(chuàng)造了輝煌的成就。

If you have ever been discouraged(受挫) because of failure(失敗), please read on. Usually, achieving(實現(xiàn)) what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.
“What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors.
“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers answered excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders（蜘蛛）, worms and a lot of insects. He removed the lid（揭開蓋子） and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were laughing at them. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!”
Their goal was far too difficult, but it made them dig. And that is what a goal is for—to make us move in the direction we have chosen. In other words, it sets us to digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!” And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters.
小題1:The writer told us the story to ________ .
A．a(chǎn)dvise us to treats（對待） our failures fairly
B．persuade us to make an aim for our lives
C．encourage us to learn from the two brothers
D．prove that failure helps us make achievements
小題2:What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Failure is the mother of success
B．When there is a will, there is a way
C．No pains, no gains
D．Joy in the journey
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Digging a hole all the way through the earth is impossible.
B．The writer thinks that the two brothers will reach their goal one day.
C．A goal is something that makes us want to dig holes.
D．Everyone can succeed if he sets a practical goal.

We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over(被迫停車). A middle-aged policeman came up to the ear and was really being troublesome at first. He said, "You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?" Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. Then his way towards us totally changed. He asked, "Oh, so you boys are in a band?" We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played, and how long we had been at it.
Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don't you?" Tim said, "Yes. " So the officer asked him to step out of the car.
