Some disabled people use a special card when they park their cars. These are called disabled placards, which are removable signs that can be hung from the rear-view(后視) mirror of a car. These placards are only supposed to be for disabled people.
These placards are meant to help disabled people in a number of ways. They allow the person to park in special parking spaces. They can also be used when disabled people are being dropped off or picked up. Disabled people can even use them to park without having to pay.
Parking officials think that some people are cheating. Not all people who have these placards are disabled. Today, one in sixteen drivers in California carries the sign. There are a lot more people who have disabled placards today than ten years ago. An official from the DMV(加州車輛管理局) says that there are many reasons for the increase. As people get older, they may develop health problems and need to have one. There are also other reasons why more drivers have them today. Finally, there are a number of people who have them that should not.
Last year the DMV cancelled more than 25,000 permits. They found that lots of people who had the disabled placards had died. These permits are no longer valid.
Some people are worried that the system is being abused. They are worried that access to the program could be limited because of the misuse. More rules could make it harder for people with real disabilities to get these placards.

“Old wives tales” are beliefs lasting for many generations. 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 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. However, 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 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.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the test?
A．Eating garlic is good for our eyes.
B．Sticky sweets are damaging our teeth.
C．Swimming after a meal is dangerous.
D．Carrots prevent people from catching colds.
小題2: The phrase “hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means”_____”.
A．to be believableB．to be valuable
C．to be admirable D．to be suitable
小題3:What is the author’s attitude toward “old wives tales” in the text?
A．Subjective B．Objective C．Dissatisfied D．Curious

Talking to Teachers—Teachers are just people．Behind that desk, is a living, breathing human being．And just like any human being, they will probably be friendly to people who talk nicely to them．Teachers also seem to get along better with children who take schoolwork seriously and are prepared for class．And, just like any other human being, teachers like to be appreciated．The next time your teacher helps you solve a math problem or figure out a science project, say thank you with a smile.
Talking to Parents—Parents can be very supportive if their children ask for help．If you think there’s something your parents can do to help you socialize more or feel more comfortable around people, then ask them．Very often, parents want very much to help, but really don’t know what to do．Pick a quiet time of the day and ask to talk．Tell them how you feel．Maybe they had the same trouble when they were kids.
This Stranger Thing—This is always a tough one．How do you deal with a neighbor, the mail carrier, or someone walking down your street—situations that often seem to cause arguments between kids and parents．The answer to these questions will vary from kid to kid, from parent to parent because all cultures are different．Some folks live in small towns where a hello to everyone is “what’s done”．Then there are kids who live in the city who may have been taught not to speak to anyone they don’t know．If you’re having trouble with this and always feel awkward in these kinds of situations, you might want to talk to your parents or a teacher about it．Where do they think you should draw the line?

It’s not entirely true that kids learn a second language easily, but it’s still the best time to learn. Babies are basically equipped to hear and distinguish every possible language and dialect, but once they reach 6 months old, they begin to focus on the particular sounds that exist in the languages that they’re exposed to. In this way, kids will naturally and automatically be bilingual(雙語的) if they hear multiple languages on a daily basis when they are still babies..
One lady told me of her son who grew up in a very multi-cultural community working at a resort. He would naturally and easily switch from Dutch, to French, to Italian, German and English depending on who he was talking to. Of course that’s an extreme case, but it’s completely possible and easy.
It’ s not true that they will get mixed up by learning multiple languages. They may mix them up purposely simply because certain words or expressions are easier, but they won’t develop any permanent language disabilities. Quite the contrary, bilingual children have been shown to be as much as a year more advanced in learning ability development for 2 and 3 years olds.
Some kids who simply aren’t gifted at learning languages, just as some aren’t gifted at sports or music, will find it difficult to continue schooling in a foreign language. In that case, it may be better not to continue with the foreign language school. Still, it will have been an excellent opportunity for Grade One. Perhaps for Grade Two you could try a bilingual school.
In any case, learning even a small amount of a foreign language, maintaining the ability to hear and pronounce it by listening to music and movies will keep a foundation for later learning. Knowing a second language can be a great benefit for gaining employment.
小題1:What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．It’s difficult for kids to learn a second language.
B．Kids are able to learn multiple languages.
C．Kids should be exposed to the native language.
D．Kids enjoy all kinds of different dialects.
小題2:What did the lady tell us about her son?
A．He could speak five kinds of languages.
B．He was learning some different languages.
C．He could talk with many people at the same time.
D．He was working in a multi-community.
小題3:In which way can learning multiple languages benefit kids according to the text?
A．Mixing up different languages.
B．Distinguish different dialects.
C．Developing learning ability.
D．Developing language disabilities.
小題4:What should you do if your kids are not good at learning language?
A．Ask them to turn to sports or music.
B．Encourage them to remain in Grade One.
C．Let them remain in the foreign language school.
D．Send them to a bilingual school later.

Barbara and Barry Zucker – Pinchoff, both doctors from New York City, took their three daughters on a walking safari（旅行）last year in Tanzania. Barbara told about their experience in Kinbero, “It is the most remote（遙遠的）place we have ever been to,” camping with a few other Americans, two Tanzanian guides, and several Hadza（哈扎人）who had time to sit and chat because they had just killed a giraffe.
About 400 members of the Eastern Hadza tribe（部落）live in Tanzania today, the only hunter-gatherers who remain in Africa. The Hadza hunt game, gather edible plants and honey, and move from place to place whenever the weather changers. Every two weeks or so, they move to a new campsite.
At the Pinchoffs’ campsite, three Hadza men stopped by to visit and ended up staying three days. One of the guides gave the men a cigarette. They took out the tobacco, put it in a pipe, and lit the pipe with fire they started.
It takes less than two hours for Hadza women to build a new camp. They make huts（茅屋）by bending branches into round structures about six feet high, and then covering them with long, golden grass. If the weather is very wet, the women may choose a dry cave to set up a camp. Some rock caves have been used over thousands of years and are decorated（裝飾）with ancient rock paintings. Whether they sleep in huts, caves or in the open, the Hadza cover themselves only with thin cloths and depend on fire to keep them warm.
The Hadza refuse to be “settled” into villages or to have the life of farmers. By 1979, almost all of them had returned to their old ways. They Hadza may be the only tribe in Africa the has never paid taxes.
小題1: The passage mainly tells up         .
A．one of the author’s travel experiences
B．the life of the Hadza tribe in Tanzania
C．Barbara’s walking safari in Tanzania
D．the efforts of the Hadza to keep their old ways
小題2:What does the underlined word “game” ( in Paragraph 2 ) probably refer to?
A．Part of a match.B．Edible wild animals.
C．An area of work.D．A children’s activity.
小題3:What do we know about the life of the Hadza?
A．They change their campsites regularly.B．They live mainly on farming.
C．They keep warm using leaves at night.D．It takes them a long time to set up a camp.
小題4:Where do the Hadza live in wet weather?
A．On the farm.B．In huts.C．In caves.D．In the open.

Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To    1    this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that it’s fun to share with others — a lesson I needed to   2      myself as well, as it   3     .
One evening Danae had   4       a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a children’s card game called Go Fish. That evening, after Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, I’d like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They’re her favorites.”
She held up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to   5     that I didn’t want her to give them away because then our   6      wouldn’t be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae    7    . I thought perhaps she didn’t understand that when she gave something away, it was gone   8     . So I tried again, saying, “Once you give the cards to her, you can’t   9      them back tomorrow.”
A look of   10     came over Danae’s face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to   11     . But then she smiled and said. “Well, that’s okay; I want her to have them anyway.”
What could I say to that? I sat   12      for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to ask her to share. Did it   13     that our Go Fish set would be   14    ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the   15      of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy. Isn’t that what life is all about?
