After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his

 generous heart that I sent him this letter.

Dear son,

I want to thank you for teaching me a very 36 lesson in life by the great

example you 37 When we were eating at that cafe in Bondi and a person who

had __38__ his hamburger didn't have enough money to pay for it, without any

39 ,  you went over and put the     40     $2 into his hand.

When we were leaving, you 41 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and

Said 42_ like, "Some kid will really enjoy 43 this. "

Last week, a young man 44 me in the line at a petrol station didn't have

45 money to pay for his petrol.  I asked the money collector, "How much 46

is he?" She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his ear 47   he had been

looking at the wrong gauge (計量器) and had put in 15 48 ,  which came to just

 over  49'_. That is an easy mistake  50  both gauges run fast.

Something made me think of you and 51 you did that night at the cafe in

Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 52 and said, "But why would you do

this for me?" I just smiled as I thought of you.

Thank you, son, for teaching me that "it's 53 to give than receive". Now

when I sec a five-cent coin on the 54 and want to pick it up, I think of you

and leave it _55 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.

Love always.   Mum.

We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals, ” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.

It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are, we’re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,” says Isaksen.

“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,” says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But some strains (變異體) may become harmful. Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.

64. We learn from Paragraph 1 that the pet sold at the shop may ________.

A. come from Columbia

B. enjoy being with children

C. prevent us from being infected

D. suffer from monkey-pox

65. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?

A. They attack human beings.

B. We need to study native animals.

C. They can’t live out of the rain forest.

D. We do not know much about them yet.

66. What does the phrase “the wake-up call ” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?

    A. a new disease

    B. a clear warning

    C. a dangerous call

    D. a morning call

67. The text suggests that in the future we_____.

    A. may have to fight against more new diseases

B. may easily get infected by diseases from dogs.

C. should not be allowed to have pets

D. should stop buying pets form Africa.

       “Old wives tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another, For Example, most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.

Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic (蒜) is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.

       Unfortunately, not all of Mom’ s advice passed the test of medical studies, For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.

Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated (積累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.

48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the test?   

       A. Eating garlic is good for our eyes.

       B. Sticky sweets are damaging to our teeth.

       C. Swimming after a meal is dangerous.

       D. Carrots prevent people from catching colds.

49. The author develops the third paragraph mainly     .

       A. by cause and effect   B. by order in space

C. by order in time      D. by examples

50. The phrase “hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means ”_____”.

A. to be believable B. to be valuable C. to be admirable D. to be suitable

51.What is the author’s attitude toward “old wives tales” in the text?

A. Subjective    B. Objective    C. Dissatisfied    D. Curious
