A great French writer said that we should help everyone as much as possible because we often need help ourselves. The small even can help the great. To this effect, he tells a simple story. 
An ant was drinking at a small river and fell in. She tried hard to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant, almost tired out, was still bravely doing her best when a bird saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade (葉片) of grass, which supported her like a boat, and thus she reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass she heard a man coming near. He was walking along barefooted and carrying a gun in his hand. As he saw the bird he wished to kill her, and he would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just before he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the bird immediately flew away. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than herself that had saved her life. 
小題1: According to the French writer, we often need help from others, therefore we should________. 
A.not help others B.help those who may be helpful to us
C.get as much help as possibleD.help others as much as we can
小題2:The ant finally got on the bank _______.  
A.when the water pushed herB.with the help of a piece of wood
C.with the help of a blade of grass D.when the bird reached out a leg for her
小題3:The French writer tells the story in order to show _______.  
A.how an ant saved a bird B.how brave the ant is
C.how clever the bird isD.even the small can help the great

There was once an 11-year-old boy who went fishing every time he went to an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.
On the day before bass (巴斯魚) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure (魚餌) and put it into the lake. Suddenly the boy felt something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened.He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
“Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats could be seen in the moon-
light. He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed.He threw the huge bass into the black water.
The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish. That
was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
小題1:.How did the father feel when he saw his son skillfully pulling a big fish out of the water?
A.Delighted.B.Nervous.C.Embarrassed.D.Shocked.
小題2:What happened when it became clear that the big fish was a bass?
A.The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.
B.The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.
C.The father made a decision that the fish must be set free.
D.They worried other fishermen might know what they had done.
小題3:The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because            .
A.they might catch a big fish thereB.he remembered the moral lesson from his father
C.he wanted to remember his father D.their children enjoyed fishing there
小題4:What does the author want to show in the story?
A.It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.
B.An ethical decision is not difficult to make.
C.It is hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.
D.Fishing helps you to make right ethical decisions.

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Interact forum(論壇)asking what“PK”meant.
“My family has been watching the‘Super Girl’singing competition TV programme.My little daughter asked me what’PK’meant,but I had no idea,”explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online,it is impossible not to know this term.In such Internet games,“PK”is short for“Player Kill”,in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
In the case of the“Super Girl”singing competition.“PK”was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.
Like this father,Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students’compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand.A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language,but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons  that she didn’t understand.
“My‘GG’came back this summer from college.He told me I’ve grown up to be a‘PLMM’.I loved to‘FB’with him together;he always took me to the‘KPM’,”went one composition.
“GG”means Ge Ge(Chinese pinyin for brother).“PLMM”refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei(beautiful girl).“FB”means Fu Bai(corruption).“KPM”is short for KF.Pizza Hut and McDonald’s.
Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.
If you do not even know what a Kong Long(dinosaur,referring to an ugly looking female)ora Qing wa(frog,referring to an ugly looking male)is,you will possibly be regarded as a CaiNiao!
小題1:By writing the article,the writer tries to         
A.explain some Internet language
B.suggest common Internet language
C.laugh at the Beijing father
D.draw our attention to Internet language
小題2:What does the writer think about the term“PK”?

When 7-year-old Warren Buffet said “ I will be the richest man one day”, his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money, selling drinks, delivering newspapers and buying stocks. He had already earned $ 9,000 ( equal to $ 90,000 today) by the time he graduated from high school and became a millionaire at 32.
And this month the 77-year- old, who earned his fortune by making a lot of great investment in the stock market, made his childhood dream come true. With a fortune of $ 62billion, Buffet has risen to be the world’s richest man according to Forbes Magazine.
Born in 1930, Buffet, the only son of a stockbroker, started on achieving his billion-dollar dream at an early age and was always ready to think outside the box to develop his business. At 8 he went to golf courses collecting and selling used balls.
At 11 when he sold soda pop door to door with a friend, the pair collected lids on the streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.
As a paper boy during high school, Buffet delivered two rival (競爭對手的)papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffet bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collect rent.
Young Buffet stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $ 5. The experience taught him one of the virtues (品質(zhì)) in investing: patience.
After graduating from university, Buffet started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-cola, Buffet has become rich.
“Learning is important to Buffet’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. He keeps learning, from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he finally over achieved his aptitude ( 才能) ,” said Charlie Munger, his long-time business partner.
小題1:Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the selection?
A.What is Buffet’s approach to investing.
B.How do other people view Buffet.
C.How has Buffet handled hardships in his life.
D.How did Buffet make a fortune and realize his dream.

A.had a good sense of business
B.was a good paper boy
C.was hard to deal with business
D.knew anything but how to make money

A.You never stop learning.
B.Be patient in business.
C.Only buy stocks of solid companies that are undervalued and inexpensive.
