I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”
“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.
My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.
When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, there’s no telling what might have happened. A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung...”
My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?
It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.
“Daddy… I am so sorry…”
“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay. ”
“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”
My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said. “Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though. ”He managed a weak smile.
My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.

Everybody may have seen the film “Death on the Nile ( 尼羅河)”, but nobody can imagine that the writer of the story, Agatha Christie, saved a baby in a most unusual way.
In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Deleville. Doctors there were unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was sent to a famous hospital in London, where there were many excellent doctors. The baby was so seriously ill that a team of doctors hurried to examine her without delay. The doctors, too, were puzzled by the baby’s illness and they also became discouraged. Just then a nurse asked to speak to them.
“I think the baby is suffering from thallium (鉈) poisoning. ” said the nurse. “A few days ago, I read a story ‘A Pale Horse’ written by Agatha Christie. Someone uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms (癥狀) are written in the book. They are exactly the same as the baby’s.”
“You’re very good at observing things,” said a doctor, “and you may be right. We’ll carry out some tests and find out whether the cause is thallium poisoning or not.”
The tests proved that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium. Once they knew the cause, the doctors were able to give her correct treatment. The baby soon got well and was sent back to Deleville. A week later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide (殺蟲劑) used in Deleville.
小題1: The baby was sent to a hospital in London because ______.
A．her parents were living in London then
B．the hospitals in Deleville were full at that time
C．doctors in Deleville were not sure about the cause of her illness
D．she was the daughter of a famous doctor in London
小題2: When the baby was first sent to the hospital in London, her illness was considered to be ______
A quite easy to treat      
B. the result of thallium poisoning
C.    a common one            
D. extraordinarily serious
小題3: From this passage it seems that the baby’s illness had something to do with ______.
A a dead writer              B. a harmful substance ( 物質(zhì)) used to kill pests
C. the water in Deleville    D. a dangerous murderer
小題4: As far as we can tell from the story, Agatha Christie ______.
A．had never met this baby
B．had spent a long time studying the baby’s illness
C．visited the baby both in Deleville and London
D．gave the nurse some advice on the telephone

Riding was the favourite activity of Thomas Jefferson, who was the third President of the United States. He usually rode good horses.
One day, he was riding outside Washington, when a jockey (賽馬師) came near. He did not know the President, but his professional eye was attracted by Mr. Jefferson’s horse. He stopped and said that he wanted to buy the horse, but Mr. Jefferson politely refused his offer.
The jockey offered more money for the horse, because the closer he looked at the horse, the more he liked it. All of his offers were refused, which made him angry. He then became rude, but his rudeness left as little an impression as his money, for Jefferson had a very good temper. At last, he hit Mr. Jefferson’s horse with his whip, getting it to run suddenly. This would have thrown a less skillful rider to the ground, but Jefferson stayed on his seat, and controlled his horse well.
The jockey then gave up. He rode with Mr. Jefferson side by side and began to talk with him about politics. Jefferson joined in the conversation. When they got into the city and came close to the gate of the presidential mansion (總統(tǒng)府), Mr. Jefferson stopped, and politely invited the man to enter.
The jockey was surprised and asked, “Why? Do you live here?”
“Yes” was the simple reply.
“Why, stranger, what’s your name?”
“My name is Thomas Jefferson.”
Embarrassed, the man quickly left, while the President looked at him with a smile and then rode through the gate.
小題1:Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Jefferson and the JockeyB．Jefferson’s Interest
C．Be Polite to EveryoneD．No Pain, No Gain
小題2: Which word can best describe the jockey?
A．Professional. B．Skillful.C．Impatient.D．Impolite.
小題3:The underlined word “embarrassed” can be replaced by “__________”.
A．worriedB．pleasedC．hurriedD．a(chǎn)shamed
小題4:We can infer from the passage that __________.
A．the jockey had once bought a horse from another stranger
B．Mr. Jefferson was very good at riding a horse
C．Mr. Jefferson would invite the jockey to his own house later
D．the jockey would not talk about this experience to others
小題5:According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?
A．The President of the US is fond of riding.
B．The jockey managed to buy the horse from Mr. Jefferson.
C．Mr. Jefferson, the third President of the United States, was a man of good manners.

It was the first month of winter -- an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, l had been able to dress myself for recess(課間休息), but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher at Princess Elizabeth School near Hamilton, Ontario, had been through first snow days , many times in her long career, but I think struggled still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow pants. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and matching scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots. In her calm, motherly voice she said, "By the end of winter, you will be able to put on own boots. “ I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do the work. After much wiggling and pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced，“They’re on the wrong feet．”With the grace that only experience can bring，she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again．Then I said，“These aren’t my boots．you know．”As she pulled the offending boots from my feet，she still managed to look both helpful and interested．Once they were off．I said，“They are my brother’s boots．My mother makes me wear them，and I hate them!” Somehow，from long years of practice，she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl．She pushed and shoved less gently this time，and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet．With a great sigh of relief，seeing the end of her struggle with me，she asked，“Now，where are your gloves?’’
I looked into her eyes and said．“I didn’t want to lose them．so I put them into the toes of my boots．”
小題1:According to the passage，the little girl got     from her brother．
A．the wool snow pants and the jacketB．the jacket and the boots
C．the jacket and the hatD．the boots and the gloves
小題2:What made it so hard for the teacher to help the little girl put her boots on?
A．The gloves in the toes of the boots．B．The slowness of the teacher．
C．The wrong size of the boots．D．The unwillingness of the girl．
小題3:It can be inferred that before the little girl finally went out to enjoy the first snow of winter，the teacher had to help her put on her boots      ．
A．onceB．twiceC．three timesD．four times
小題4:Which of the following sentences from the text BEST indicates that the teacher is very considerate?
A．In her calm，motherly voice she said，“By the end of winter，”(Paragraph 2)
B．With the grace that only experience can bring，she struggled to(Paragraph 4)
C．She still managed to look both helpful and interested．(Paragraph 4)

Andrew Carneigie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted partly from his ability to sell the product and partly from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments. Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. “He who dies rich, dies disgraced”, he often said. Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthropic(慈善的) gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts. Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie’s generosity. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.
小題1:The author quoted(引述) “he who dies rich, dies disgraced” in the passage to show______.
A．He felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society.
B．He opposed charity.
C．The wealthy die from their fortunes
D．The wealthy die from not contributing to society.
小題2:Carnegie’s success includes following aspects EXCEPT_____.
A．his policy of expanding.
B．his ability to sell the product
C．his ability to produce the product
D．his hard work
小題3:Which of the following may NOT be philanthropic gifts to society according to the passage?____
A．the Carnegie Institute of Washington.
B．the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh.
