Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches (溝渠)along the highway. I travel daily to work. There is one particular    26    flower that has    27   caught my eyes. I’ve noticed it blooms only in the morning hours; the    28    sun is too warm for it. Every day for about two weeks. I see those beautiful    29   .
This spring I    30   a wildflower garden in our yard. “I can look out of the   31   window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought those lovely blue flowers from the   32  would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Everyday I    33  past the flowers thinking, I’ll stop on my way home and    34   them.” “gee (哎呀), I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty…” whatever the reason, I    35  stopped to dig them.
One day on my way home from work in my car, I was    36    to see the highway department had moved the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were    37  . I thought to myself, “You    38    too long. You should have done it when you first saw them  39   this spring. ”
A week ago, we were shocked and saddened to learn my older sister-in-law had a terminal brain tumor (腫塊). She is 10 years    40   than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance. We haven’t been as    41   as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the   42     between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband’s    43  and us. I do believe god has given us some time left to    44  some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, I’ll    45   and transplant them to my wildflower garden.

Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact(交流，溝通) these days. The term is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals(個人，個體) and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.
A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why?
In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立)us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected—helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people — at the same time!
小題1:The underlined phrase “networked individualism” probably means that by using computers people ________.
A．stick to their own ways no matter what other people say
B．have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest
C．do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people
D．a(chǎn)re able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people
小題2:According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?
A．NetworksB．FriendsC．PhonesD．Parents.
小題3:It can be inferred from the Pew study that _______.
A．people have been separated from each other by using computers
B．the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely
C．the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication
D．a(chǎn) lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing
小題4:Which would be the best title for this passage?
A．We’re Alone on the Internet.
B．We’re Communicating on the Internet.
C．We’re Alone Together on the Internet.
D．We’re in the Imaginary World of the Internet

The quest for success always begins with a target. As Berra once said, “You got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.”
Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers．Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, “What am I doing with my life?” and they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack goals．
Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction．Begin with a clear conception of what you want．Write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them．Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute—goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need．
It’s important to visualize（想象）yourself accomplishing your goal．While losers visualize the penalties（不利）of failure, winners visualize the rewards of success．I’ve seen it among athletes, statistics contrasting air and highway safety, but it made no difference．I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly．I had programmed myself, without realizing it, to stay off planes．
Then one summer I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort；I didn’t want to miss out on a great vacation．So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing．
When the day arrived, I was eager to go．To everyone’s surprise, I got on the plane and I loved every minute of it, and I still use the techniques I employed that day．
小題1:According to the passage, if you want to be successful, the first thing for you to do is   ________．
A．find the right methodsB．be careful about everything
C．know your abilityD．have a clear goal
小題2:If you have a target, you will ________．
A．wander like a sleepwalker
B．know well what you are doing
C．do the same work every day
D．put it into words
小題3:The problem with the author before he overcame his fear of air travel is that________．
A．he didn’t know air travel is safer than highway travel
B．he couldn’t imagine himself accomplishing his goal
C．he read too much about plane crashes and tried to avoid flying
D．he wanted to take a private plane instead of a public one
小題4:What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Define Your Coal
B．Visualize Rewards of Success
C．Overcome the Fear of Air Travel
D．Sleepwalking Through Life

There’s been a lot of talk about white-and-blue collar workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular（土話）—green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane（車道）, and explore new ways of living “green”.
Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well educated like a white-collar but physically tough like a blue-collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s of the last century and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5,000 yuan （about US $700）.
The life of a green collar may go something like this; Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged. 
Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief（擺脫貧困）projects in China.
“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.
小題1:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Differences between white-and-blue collars and green collars.
B．The increasing awareness of environmental protection.
C．New trends of life in China’s big cities.
D．The lifestyle of green collars.
小題2:Green collars will     after work.
A．prefer to be left alone
B．have fun with old friends
C．think nothing about work and more
D．do a lot of extra work at home
小題3:What ’s Zuo Shiguang’s attitude towards green collars?
