While Christmas shopping in a jewelry store, I discovered a table of golden ornaments (飾品) on sale. So beautiful in   41  ,each had a personality of its own. I looked through hundreds of pieces,   42  a few and took them home.
I was afraid that they would disappear among other   43  gifts of a Christmas tree,   44  I used them to decorate wreaths (花環(huán)). When I stood back to    45   my work, a thought crossed my mind: Wouldn’t some of our family and friends like these, too?
I raced back to the jewelry store to discover that the piles of ornaments had been   46  even further. This time I bought dozens, as I   47  the many people who might enjoy one for the holidays.
I   48  began my creative project. While I tied lovely bows and glued golden ornaments, my mind   49  to Christmases past, how special each had been. I thought about others perhaps not so   50 . Some people in our community   51  had a family to share the joy of Christmas. Some didn’t   52  with holiday decorations.
I nodded my head in determined   53 . They would be at the top of my list to receive a little wreath.   54  the plan my husband showed great enthusiasm (熱情) and we set out together to put it into   55 .
We visited the aged, the widowed (寡居的) and the lonely. Each one was   56  at our cheerful stop and   57  hung our small gifts — often the   58  signs of celebration in their homes.
After several days, I realized we had made and given almost two hundred wreaths. Decorated with   59  and delivered with delight, they filled many homes and hearts with the joy of Christmas. We were glad that our   60  did make sense and we found our Christmas spirit in doing and giving.

Midas was a powerful king, both rich and greedy. Once he did a great favor for Bacchus, the god of wine. Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward. Midas answered at once. He asked that whatever he touched be turned into gold. Bacchus agreed, though he was sorry that Midas had not made a wiser choice.
Midas was eager to put his newly gained power to the test. He pulled a branch from a tree. The branch became gold in his hand. He picked up a stone; it turned to gold. He touched the grass, it, too, turned to gold.
Midas was overjoyed. Returning home, he ordered his servants to prepare a magnificent meal. But when he picked up some bread, it turned to gold. He lifted a glass of wine to his lips. But before he could taste it, it turned to gold.
Midas wished to free himself of his power. He hated the gift he had so recently hoped for. He raised his arms and begged and prayed for Bacchus to take away his deadly gift.
Bacchus showed pity. “Go,” he said. “to the River  Pactolus. There dip yourself in. Wash away your greed and its punishment. ”Midas did so. Hardly had he touched the waters, before the gold-making powers passed into them. The river sands changed into gold. And they remain golden to this day.

Bum rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would be $ 50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. “Angel money” it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small.
　　With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold.
　　As I was searching for “angel money”, I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn't have money for paychecks yet.
　　Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M. I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology “guy” in-house.
　　Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating officer. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.
　　We had some really good people, but we still didn't have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.
　　Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.
　　She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $ 500,000.
　　I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven.
　　“I have confidence in your plan,” she said. “You' 11 do well. You're going to work hard for it, but it' s satisfying when you build your own company.”
　　Who would have thought I'd find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.
小題1:For a newly-established business, bum rate refers to___________.
A．the salary it pays to its staff　B．the interest it pays to the bank
C．the way in which it raises capital　D．the speed at which it spends money
小題2:By "Angel money", the author refers to__________.
A．the money borrowed from banks　B．the money spent to promote sales
C．the money raised from close friendsD．the money needed to start a business
小題3:To get help from a venture-capital company, you may have to__________.
put up with unfair terms　        　B. change your business line
C. enlarge your business scope     　　D. let them operate your business
小題4:The author easily built a team for his company because__________.
A．they were underpaid at their previous jobs
B．they were turned down by other companies
C．they were confident of the author and his business
D．they were satisfied with the salaries in his company
小題5: Louise decided to lend money to the author because__________.

Robert Owen was born in Wales in 1771. At the age of ten he went to work. His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(監(jiān)工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.
When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.
Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816, he opened the first free primary school in Britain.
People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825,but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.
Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."
小題1:For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _____________.
A．improving worker's houses
B．helping people to save money
C．preventing men from getting drunk
D．providing the children with a good education
小題2:From the passage we may infer that Owen was born ___________.
A．into a rich familyB．into a noble family
C．into a poor familyD．into a middle class family
小題3:Owen's experiment in the United States failed because _______.
A．he lost all his money
B．he did not buy enough land
C．people who visited it were not impressed
D．it was too far away for him to organize it properly
小題4:We may infer form the passage that no children in Britain could enjoy free education until ____.
A．1771 B．1816 C．1825 D．1860

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

A few days ago we – that’s me and the husband – took a cab to the station. Chat with the driver fell to the wrong of cyclists, and the misunderstanding of the road rules. So far as the rules of the road go, there seems to be one basic principle: when you are driving a car you hate bikes, when you are riding a bike you hate cars (and I guess walkers hate everyone). 
There is an obvious difference of viewpoint built in here. It wasn’t until I started to drive a car (almost 20years after I had first rode a bike) that I actually realized that you could not see a cyclist at night without lights. In fact I now want to shout at late night cyclists without lights(like motortists once did at me): “You’ll get killed, sunshine, I can’t see you.”
The problem is that cyclists do ride headlong into danger. It's not just not having lights. It’s biking on pavements (and so threatening to injure a load of innocent walkers in the process) and biking down one-way streets the wrong way.
I admit that I do bike the wrong way down a one-way street sometimes. My feeble(軟弱無力) defense is that I try always to do it as if I know I was doing wrong. That is slowly, with an apologetic look on the face, and ready to get off at any minute. I can’t bear the guys(一伙人) (usually, but not always it is guys) who do it as if they owned the place, and at high speed.
So cyclists are not entirely innocent. But they are among the disadvantaged groups, because the bottom line is that a car or a lorry can kill a cyclist and not the other way around.
小題1:When did the writer realize the danger for late night cyclists without lights?
A．Not until she became a driver herself.
B．Not until she had driven a car for 20 years.
C．After she was shouted at by a motorist.
D．After she was once knocked down by a group of guys.

My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It had beautiful tailoring and an unbelievable price: $28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen topcoats were popular with teenage boys, but they could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. The fit was perfect.
John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a big grin. “Did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it,” he said.
Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and on the whole much happier. “Good dinner, mom,” he would say every evening. Without a word of objection he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said: “You’re right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.
John and I both know we should never mistake a person’s clothes for the real person within them. But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practicing standards of excellence in thought, speech, and behavior, and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside.
