When my twin sons, Chad and Brad, were born, I was concerned about everything. Five years later, our little girl, Becky   1  our family. I wanted everybody to be healthy and happy. I worked hard to see that they were.
As the kids grew older, I worried about headaches, throat infections and many other common childhood illnesses．I didn’t like it when the boys spent time “warming the bench (板凳)” during Little League football games. I worried about Becky when she  2   the ball while playing softball．Before long, the teen years were upon us. I stayed up late at night waiting for the boys to return home．Many times the   3   crossed my mind that I would call the police if they weren’t home on time.   4 , they always arrived home safe and sound before I had to take such   5  .
“Please don't ever call the police,” one of the boys said when I   6  him after a late arrival. The day the boys moved away to college was a(n)   7  day indeed. I worried about their being able to take care of themselves. Would they starve?
A few months after the boys left college, our   8  rang in the middle of the night. It startled (驚醒) us when we looked at the clock．It was 3 o’clock in the morning. “Something must be wrong,” I shouted to my husband, Roy, as we both jumped up．We ran to the door, opened it, and there stood a police officer.
“You need to call your sons,” he    9   announced. I picked up the telephone, but unfortunately, it was   10  . A line outside had been accidentally cut. Roy and I jumped into the car and   11  to the nearest telephone．My stomach ached．My husband was   12  so badly that he could hardly dial the number.
On the first   13 , Chad answered the telephone. “What's wrong?” Roy shouted into the receiver (聽筒). “We were worried about you,” Chad told him. “We’ve been trying to call you all night, but you didn’t   14  .We called the police and asked them to go and check on you.”
For the first time in their lives, the boys were worried about us. And they were the ones who   15   had to call the police.

Birthdays often involve surprises. But this year's surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.
On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. "It's very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one," said an expert from Britain's National Portrait Gallery.
　 The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image —commonly known as the "Flower portrait"— was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare's death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.
　"We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays," Tarnya Cooper, the gallery's curator (館長), told the Associated President.
　　The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.
　　"There have always been questions about the painting," said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. "Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture."
Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation (調(diào)查) and the results will come out later this month._________________
小題1:What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year?
A．It was found that he painted a portrait in 1814 instead of in 1609.
B．The Flower portrait has been found to be a fake.
C．Three portraits of Shakespeare are being tested to identify a real one.
D．It was found that there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays around 1818 to 1840.
小題2:Which statement is True according to the passage?
A．Portraits of Shakespeare are all unreliable.
B．"Flower portrait " was a portrait of Shakespeare given to Desmond Flower.
C．1814 might be when the portrait was drawn.
D．The Flower portrait is not often used as a cover for Shakespeare's play.
小題3:How many methods were used to test the portrait?
A．Not mentioned.B．TwoC．ThreeD．At least four.
小題4:The best title for this passage is _________.
A．Birthdays often involve surprises　
B．The surprise on the 441st birthday of Shakespeare
C．One portrait of Shakespeare is a fake
D．How can we know Shakespeare's appearance?
小題5:Which is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the last paragraph?
A．Soon we'll know which portrait is reliable.
B．Maybe we cannot find a real portrait of Shakespeare.
C．If the two portraits are found to be false, they will test more.
D．For now what Shakespeare really looked like will remain a mystery.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his Hunches (串) of bananas and bags of peanuts．Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life．“Banana 300 naira．Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice．I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts．When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill．He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry．He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun．My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us. I pulled over and rolled down my window．He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready．I waved them away．“What’s up?” I asked him．“I … I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills．
“Will this help?” I asked．He looked around nervously before taking the money．One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year．
“Thank you, sir,” he said．“Thank you very much!”
When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks.
What  if he’s a swindler (騙子)? And then I wondered why I did it．Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.
Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive．When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face. “Oh, gosh! Long time.”  “Are you in school now?” I asked. He nodded. “That’s good,” I said．A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted．“Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill．“Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt．“What’s wrong?” I asked．“It’s a gift.” He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back．His face shone with sweat．He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you.”
