Jason
What I like best is seeing Arsenal win and playing football. If I am feeling sad I will play a football game on my Play Station 2. The best day I have ever had was when I finished first in the 800-metre race at my secondary school. It was a school record, although I didn’t know that at the time. My family makes me happy, too.
Antonio
My little sister makes me sad because she always tells tales on me to my mum. If I am having a bad day, food cheers me up. I like chili con carne and sweet chili crisps. It makes me happy because I want to be big and have lots of energy.
Usman
I haven’t done anything very exciting in my life but one of my best achievements is that I got a good report from my school this year, because last year I got a bad one. People on TV make me laugh, particularly Eddie Murphy. If I am having a bad day I watch Basil Brush. I am good at making other people happy. I just talk and my friends start laughing — they think I am silly.
Ashleigh
If I’m having a bad day, knowing that someone is there for me can make me happy. I wouldn’t say I’m the best at making other people happy, but I know that just being a good friend to other people is important. The things I like doing are singing, dancing, hanging out with my friends and just being lively and funny.
Kinzey
The most exciting thing I have ever done in my life was when I went abseiling in Wales. But that was a one-off. The things I do all the time are playing football, watching movies and going places with my friends. I know it sounds bad, but what I find funny is when people hurt themselves. If I am having a bad day and I see someone having a worse day than me, that makes me feel better.
小題1: Food is very important for _________ when he has a bad day.
A.KinzeyB.AshleighC.AntonioD.Usman
小題2:________ like playing football.

There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book   36  hand. Of course, we may   37  with our guide-books the history and   38  developments of a town and get to know them.   39  then, if we take out time and  40  in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we   41  it as a whole, we begin to have some   42  ,which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just  43  this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets   44   in this particular way, and not in any   45  way?
Here even the best guide-book   46  us. One can’t find in it the information about how a town has developed to the   47  appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的)   48  of a town. However, one may get some idea of what it   49  look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine   50  the town was first planned and built . Then one can learn more about in what direction the town   51  to develop.
What is the   52  of studying towns in the way? For me, it is   53  that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A   54  visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive   55  just reading about it in a guide-book.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to   36  in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the   37  ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too   38   for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of 39   .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there    40   between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She    41   her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had  42   her. I was    43   and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread.Sometimes it   44  , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt   45  . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen    46  , but it’s really there. Love is    47  .”
I listened carefully but I    48    her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly    49   seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked   50   . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father   51   on the country road.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t    52   me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”   53    his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and     54   . But from this experience, I understand that love is just    55   in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Begin doing the work you love as soon as possible, even if you don’t get paid for it, or if you can only work at it part-time. Albert Einstein was unable to get a job as a physics professor. He could have said to himself, “Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for something else.” Instead, he wrote the two most famous papers when he was employed as a patent  clerk. After their publication, there was not a major university in the world that would not have been glad to have him on their staff.
If you want to work as an artist and you are making a living as a waiter, don’t think of yourself as a waiter who hopes one day to become an artist. That puts the work you love somewhere off in the distant future. Rather, think of yourself as an artist, supporting yourself by waiter tables—and paint, or draw as much as you can. It is possible to earn a living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That leaves plenty of time to devote to training or developing your craft(手藝)in the off hours.
While seeking the work you love, it helps to expand your awareness  into the universe of all possibilities. You don’t want to be limited to the ideas of what you should do or what you have done before. Having opened to all possibilities, you can make a final decision and select the work you love as your own.
Doing the work you love requires that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the practical. It requires the ability to dream big dreams and the ability to face and master all the little details that make dreams come true.
小題1:According to the passage, perhaps Einstein once said to himself, “_______.”
A.Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for
something else
B.The job is just what I want, I should work very hard at it
C.I have to support myself by working as a patent clerk now, but I won’t give physics up
D.I must wait until I find my favorite job
小題2:If a person works 24 hours a week, he can________.
A.have enough spare time for his hobbies
B.have no time left to make his dream come true
C.do nothing else
D.make a good living
小題3:Which of the following is not implied in the last paragraph?
A.Sometimes the imaginative is different from the practical.
B.We have to take care of a lot of details before we make our dreams come true.
C.We shall do practical things rather than dream.
D.We shall dream big dreams and practice as well.
小題4:According to the passage, the author encourages us to ________.
A.start work quickly B.select job carefully and patiently
C.dream oftenD.make up our minds quickly

There are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time set aside for fun. And the best part is that these are the kind of memories a child will remember for a lifetime.
Family game night
Find out any of the games that are already around the house. Kids often get computer games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family. Or, make up some games of your own. “Charades” is a fun game to play that will challenge a child to use his/her imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words that the other has to act out.
________________________
Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own masterpiece. It doesn’t need to be just a drawing -- take some old magazines sitting around the house, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own montage. Or, use items from nature. Let them use leaves, pine cones, twigs and whatever else they can find to create something from their imaginations.
Family Picnic
Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let the kids have a day of playing. Or, if it is the middle of winter and a foot of snow is on the ground, set up a picnic in the living room.
Family Field Trip
A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a dime. Ask a nearby farm if it would be alright to bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park and make a scavenger hunt where they need to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work -- you might be surprised at the number of people who would be thrilled to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for the kids.
小題1:We can learn from the passage that “charades” ________.
A.is a computer gameB.is too difficult for children
C.involves acting out wordsD.should be played by more than four people
小題2: What is the best title to be put in the blank of part two? ____________.
A.Family art timeB.Family gardening time
C.Family music timeD.Family cleaning time
小題3:According to the passage, the family picnic____________.
A.should be held in the middle of winter
B.can be held inside your house
C.will be very meaningful if held in offices
D.will cost much money if held on a farm
小題4:Who might be most interested in this passage? _________.
A.ParentsB.TeachersC.Farmers D.Employers
小題5:The writer wrote this passage mainly to _____________.
A.encourage children to use imagination.
B.share precious family memories
C.discuss young children’s interests

She is quiet, soft-spoken and has a kind face and a strong heart. She is my mom, Lili.
When I was nine, Lili quitted her job and started her own business. She said she didn’t want to stay at home and work as a housewife: “It’s a waste of life.” Lili became so busy that she spent less and less time with me. She didn’t help me with my schoolwork. It was, in her words, “so that you can develop your independence”. We quarreled because she rarely showed up at parents’ meetings.
Like mother, like daughter. I have many things in common with Lili. I want everything to be under control. I want to be perfect and I don’t expect other people to help me. I push myself hard to achieve my goals.
After I started to go to high school, Lili and I were too busy to communicate much with each other.
In biology class I began to be depressed. When the teacher showed us a picture of a butterfly, I was scared and screamed. I had a vision of thousands of butterflies flying toward me.
That night I told Lili about it. The next morning, I saw that she had red eyes with black circles around them.
She took me to see a therapist (治療師). Three hours later, the therapist told Lili that my life was like a wheel spinning (旋轉(zhuǎn)) faster and faster and that was the reason for what had happened to me. I only realized it when my body couldn’t stand the pressure anymore. At these words, Lili burst into tears. “It’s all my fault, she’s just a kid and I didn’t have time to take care of her….”  To be honest, I had never seen Lili cry before.
After that, Lili began to spend more time at home, cooking and dragging me to do sports. I realized she was the one who would always be there when I was in real trouble. No mom is perfect, but she is the one who really cares about her kid.
小題1:Lili quitted her job and started her own business because _________.
A.she wanted to make more moneyB.she was not willing to look after me

A.she began to spend less and less time with me
B.she didn’t help me with my schoolwork.

小題3:What can we learn from the passage?
A.Most women don’t want to be a housewife.
B.Most children want their mothers to accompany them at home.
C.We need to understand our mothers’ busy life.
D.Although mothers are not perfect, they all love the children

科目:高中英語 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

When you do some minor image editing (修正) on your computer screen, you may make some mistakes, so from time to time you’d click undo (撤消).
There are things in life we cannot undo as easily and completely as we would with our computer files. A wrong turn, a hurtful word said to a loved one, a bad move — these we all commit as we walk our life’s journeys, no matter how careful we are in our steps. Once committed, we can no longer undo many of these mistakes, especially because unlike with our computer documents, each thing we do and say has vast impact as they involve not just us — the file that we are working on — but also others, the unopened files and computer programs in our system.
So I guess our life’s mistakes are not like our pencil scrawls (潦草書寫) that can be effectively corrected with an eraser, or errors on our computer works that can be undone with an undo button. But there are effective and reliable tools we can use—APOLOGY and FORGIVENESS. Simply click the APOLOGY button when you have committed a mistake that has hurt a loved one and the words “I’m Sorry” will flash on the other person’s screen. But, you have to be truly sorry and you must be prepared not to commit the same mistake again for your APOLOGY to work. Sincerity is definitely a necessary part.
When someone clicks the APOLOGY button and the words “I’m sorry” flash on your screen, all you have to do is click back the FORGIVENESS (原諒) button. It means that you have wholeheartedly accepted the other person’s APOLOGY. But not only that. You also have to click it when someone has sent you back the message “It’s okay. Forget about it.”. It means that you are also forgiving yourself for your mistake; that you won’t keep feeling so bad having committed it.
And lastly, don’t forget to keep clicking the SAVE button. Going through the whole process of editing—of doing and undoing, of apologizing and forgiving — is useless if you fail to save the LESSON for future use. Let the saved file be a reminder of the healing process you once went through to make yourself better; for you not to forget the lesson; and for others to access and learn from.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE?
A.However careful we are, we still make mistakes in life.
B.Things we do and say can affect computer programs in our system.
C.We can undo life’s mistakes if we are careful enough.
D.An eraser is an effective tool for our computer works.
小題2: The APOLOGY button should be clicked when ________.
A.one wants to make the computer work perfectly
B.one’s mistakes won’t influence others any more
C.one is actually saying “I’m sorry”
D.one won’t make the same mistake again
小題3:What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The UNDO button.B.The APOLOGY button.
C.The SAVE button.D.The FORGIVENESS button.
小題4:We need to click the SAVE button in life because ________.
A.we want to go through the whole process of editing
B.we need to learn a lesson from the past mistakes
C.we want to make the healing process faster
D.we need to use the computer properly
