The night started out ordinarily enough. Jack and Tara, our   36  , were in their small beds surrounded by toy animals. My husband, Pat, and I went to sleep   37 .
  38  after midnight, Jack quietly touched me. “Mommy, I want to stay with you. I promise I won’t take much room.” I shifted   39  to make room. My son soon fell asleep.
An hour later, Tara cried and I carefully went downstairs. “Mommy, my   40  is all stuffed up(堵。. I can’t really breathe very well.

I did manage to get some sleep   46  I heard Tara’s voice again. I returned to   47 Tara. “Mom, please lie down with me a little bit, I had a bad dream, and I’m so   48 .” “Of course, honey. It was only a dream. Mommy’s here and   49  is okay.” We fell asleep   50  each other’s arms.
Even in my sleepy state, I thought of   51  these nights of merry-go-round(一連串的繁忙活動(dòng))beds will be over. In their place, my twins will be grown.   52  before I’m ready, our children’ rooms will be much too   53  and empty.

Angela Chang(張韶涵) didn’t know it would be so hard to turn singing into a career. She went to many different record companies. But she was always turned down for looking too young and small.
“I’d never had such difficulties before,” Chang said. But Chang’s talent was finally accepted in 2002. When she got a piece of work, she cried.
She soon became a star. Her first album Over the Rainbow sold very well. She won many awards.
“You wouldn’t believe such a beautiful voice could come from such a small body,” said one musician after hearing Chang sing. “She has a special voice. You can’t forget it.”
But the 25-year-old girl has other talents too. Chang is also an actress. She has played a role in the popular TV plays, My MVP Valentine and At Dolphin Bay. Many people remember her common-girl parts in the plays. But acting is difficult. Chang once acted so badly that she was nearly fired. Another time it took her 27 tries to get a scene right.
“I cried when I got back home,” Chang said. “But I knew that I wouldn’t always fail. You only fail when you give up.”
Now with four albums behind her - Over the Rainbow, Aurora, Pandora and Flower in the Wonderland, it’s clear that Chang and music were made for each other. As she sings in one song, “I have a pair of invisible wings. They fly me to the sky and give me hope.”
小題1:The word “invisible” in the last paragraph means “________________”.

A young man named Charles Lyell had different ideas. He wrote a book about them called Principles of Geology. The earth,according to Lyell,was not only thousands of years old,it was millions of years old. As to the common belief that changes in the earth’s surface happen suddenly because of a single earthquake or flood,he said that this might happen once in a while,but usually these changes took place very slowly. He believed that the surface of the earth had been changing from the beginning of time. The changes,he said,were caused by the long-term action of the winds and seas,and by forces such as volcanoes breaking out under the earth’s surface. Once in a great while he thought,a mountain might appear for the first time after an earthquake. But usually mountains would rise slowly and steadily.
Professor Henslow was interested in Lyell’s ideas,but he did not actually believe them. Charles Darwin could not make up his mind about them. But they set him thinking along lines which would later change the beliefs of thoughtful people all over the world.
At Cambridge,Charles Darwin studied just enough to pass the examination,and received his college degree in 1831.During this time,he had become more and more interested in geology. At the end of the school year,he went to North Wales with one of his teachers to examine the rock formations (構(gòu)成) and to search for fossils. Fossils are the remains of ancient living things. They are usually found fixed in rocks in the earth’s crust (地殼). Fossils may be of animals,such as fish,insects,birds,or humans. They may be of plants from tiny leaves to huge trees.
When a living creature dies,it usually decays (腐爛)or is eaten by animals. However,if it sinks into a riverbed or is quickly covered by the blowing sands of a desert storm,the bones are kept up in the earth. Over many years the soft inner parts of a bone disappear,leaving the inside hollow. Water containing mineral enters into the hollow. Slowly the mineral hardens and makes the bone hard and heavy,like stone.
71.According to Charles Lyell,it is mainly        that the earth has been formed like today’s shape.
A. from the beginning of time                           B. past some experiences of big flood
C. over a very long period of years                    D. because of several big earthquakes
72.Charles Lyell believed the fact that a mountain is formed         .
A. more by seas than by volcanoes                     B. more slowly than suddenly
C. more by an earthquake than by winds      D. more steadily than quickly
73.Unlike Professor Henslow,Charles Darwin         .
A. never thought Lyell’s ideas were right
B. did made up his mind not to accept Lyell’s ideas
C. thought about what the world were then thinking about
D. thought over Lyell’s ideas and developed them
74.The main purpose of Darwin’s going to North Wales was to         .
A. make a study of fossils
B. appreciate the rock formation
C. to do research work into dead animals
D. look for plants from tiny leaves to huge trees
75.In which order are fossils formed?
a. A living thing sinks into a riverbed or sands.
b. Water goes into a bone hollow together with mineral.
c. Something soft in a bone disappears.
d. The hardened mineral makes the bone hard.
e. The bone becomes hollow inside.
A.a b c d e             B.c a b e d                    C.a c e b d                    D.e c d b a

Last week, I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.
“Frank!” I cried in surprise. He couldn’t answer, as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.
My thoughts raced back more than thirty years - to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which I and about a hundred other people slept every night. Among them were Mrs West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Frank interested me because he was not normal. He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby has. Mrs West, then about 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank depended on her completely. He needed all the attention of a baby.
One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs West that her house had been all destroyed. That wasn’t quite true, because the Wests went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.
When that kind of thing happened, the rest of us helped the unlucky ones. So before we separated that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his.
They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running - and paced his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted me in the same way.
小題1: How did the writer know that the patient was Frank?
A.He was told that Frank was in the hospital.B.He was invited to study Frank’s illness.
C.Frank’s name was written on the door.D.Frank greeted him in a special way.
小題2: When and where did the writer first meet Frank?
A.In Mrs West’s house in 1941.
B.In an air-raid shelter during the war.
C.At the Ruth Hospital about ten years ago.
D.In London after he Wests’ house was destroyed.
小題3: The unlucky ones mentioned by the doctor were ______.
A.those who suffered from illnessB.those who slept in the air-raid shelter
C.those who were killed during the warD.those whose homes were destroyed in air-raids
小題4:The writer placed his foot against Frank’s before he left the shelter ______.
A.to be friendly towards Frank
B.to see if Frank’s feet were normal
C.to find out if Frank could put on his shoes
D.to teach Frank to greet people in a special way

My life as a ‘runner’ began by running in a playground near my home in order to lose weight about 2 years ago. As time went by, I found myself so good at running that sometimes, I even forgot how many rounds I ran around the playground.
Thanks to all this practice, I was able to win the 5th place in short course marathon game at ‘BASF Yeosu Site Athletic Competition’ held in October 2002. This event inspired(鼓舞)me to take part in public short-course marathon games such as 10km, 20km and half-course competitions. Finally, in May 2003, I was able to complete a full course (路線) marathon for the first time of my life. My next challenge was the Boston Marathon race, which is the world's oldest and most famous marathon races. To qualify for the Boston Marathon, one should meet the designated time standard of their age group at a certified marathon. So I took part in ChunCheon Marathon in Korea. I had to finish the full coursewithin 3 hours and 30 minutes to meet the time standard for my age group (45 to 49 years old). But to my pleasant surprise, I recorded 3 hours 22 minutes, which is 25 minute faster than my previous best record!
In April 2004, I was finally able to go to Boston. I was very pleased and proud because I could play a role to promote BASF all across the world through this sport. And it really happened! When I ran in the Boston Marathon wearing BASF logo(標(biāo)記), people along the streets rooted for me shouting ‘BASF! BASF!’. I was very touched and so proud of my company. Of course I completed the full course successfully. After the game, I was interviewed by Korean local newspapers and had an opportunity to appear on several TV shows, which helped me to promote BASF in the community.
小題1:The author first began running in order to ______.

In 1995, Susan Boyle went to Glasgow to audition (試演) for My Kind of people, a televised talent show popular in the UK. She was immediately rejected. She was nervous during the audition, and felt she didn't perform well, but her brother said that she was rejected because of her plain looks. Boyle was not discouraged and continued to sing at church and at the karaoke nights in a local pub.
Boyle suffered a personal loss in 1997, when her father passed away. After his death. Boyle put her big dreams on hold to care for her sick mother Bridget Boyle.
