Mr. Brown’s horse was stolen at night. All of his friends were very sorry about it and came to see him together. After they had been told about it, one of them said, “Why did not you lock the door of your stable (馬房)that night? I think it is your fault.”
“You aren’t deaf, are you?” the second man said, “Didn’t you hear anything at that moment? The thief must have driven the beast out of the gate, and couldn’t have carried it on his back.”
“I agree with them!” Blamed the third, “How careless you are! Every evening before I go to bed, I lock my stable first and hide the key in my box. Why didn’t you do so?”
The more they said, the more excited they became. At last Mr. Brown couldn’t bear it any more and said, “I am glad that you have come to see me. But none of you would help me either look for my horse or catch the thief. Do you think that it’s all my fault? Why don’t you blame the thief?

Many parents who welcome the idea of turning off the TV and spending more time with the family are still worried that without TV they would constantly be on call as entertainers for their children. They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were kids. But their own kids seem different, less resourceful, somehow. When there’s nothing to do, these parents observe regretfully, their kids seem unable to come up with anything to do besides turning on the TV.
One father, for example, says, “When I was a kid, we were always thinking up things to do, projects and games. We certainly never complained in an annoying way to our parents. ‘I have nothing to do’.” He compares this with his own children today: “They’re simply lazy. If someone doesn’t entertain them, they’ll happily sit there watching TV all day.”
There is one word for this father’s disappointment: unfair. It is as if he were disappointed in them for not reading Greek though they have never studied the language. He deplores (哀嘆) his children’s lack of inventiveness, as if the ability to play were something born that his children are missing. In fact, while the tendency to play is built into the human species, the actual ability to play – to imagine, to invent, to elaborate on reality in a playful way –and the ability to gain fulfillment from it, these are skills that have to be learned and developed.
Such disappointment, however, is not only unjust, it is also destructive. Sensing their parents’ disappointment, children come to believe that they are, indeed, lacking something, and that this makes them less worthy of admiration and respect. Giving children the opportunity to develop new resources, to enlarge their horizons and discover the pleasure of doing things on their own is, on the other hand, a way to help children develop a confident feeling about themselves as capable and interesting people.
小題1: According to many parents, if there’s nothing to do, the children would        .
A．turn on the TVB．complain to their parents
C．a(chǎn)sk their parents to play with themD．do all of the above
小題2: Many parents think that, instead of watching a lot of TV their children should       .
A．sit silently studying GreekB．think up things to entertain themselves
C．find chances to talk with parentsD．enjoy themselves outdoors
小題3:The father often blames their children for not being able to entertain themselves. This is unfair because        .
A．the children are not really lazy, but there’s nothing for them to do
B．they do not lack the ability to play
C．they have to learn and develop their playing ability gradually
D．the father have done nothing to help the children
小題4: When parents show constant disappointment in their children, the children will         .
A．lose their confidence and respectability
B．be much more disappointed
C．refuse to learn new things
D．discover the pleasures of doing things on their own
小題5:What is the author’s main idea?
A．Today’s children are becoming less capable and independent than before.
B．Parents should give children more help on how to be creative.
C．Turning off the TV will help us solve a lot of family problems.
D．It’s not just for parents and children to complain each other.

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day． "I was a clothes addict, "he jokes．" I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled．" Today David wears casual clothes – khaki pants and sports shirt – to the office． He hardly ever wears a necktie． "I'm working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable．"
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work． In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual． In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday, but only on Friday． This became known as "dress-down Friday" or "casual Friday．" "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing．" said business consultant Maisly Jones．

One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code． "A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work," says the owner of a software company, "so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code．" Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes． In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale （士氣）． Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative effect on productivity． Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money． "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said． "For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes．"

  Ed Jocelyn and Andy McEwen might have appeared to be a bit mad---the two set off on their own “Long March” through the remotest regions of China on October 16. The idea was to take a year to retrace one of the epic movements of modern military history.
The two British men in their mid-30s were working as editors in Beijing when they decided to reexperience the tales of the original marches. “We hold these people in such respect,” McEwen says.
They plan to keep diaries but will not share the contents during the trip. “When we get to the end we’ll put our heads together and try and come up with a book,” Jocelyn said.
Their trip has had some auspicious beginning, they have already met two Long March veterans(老戰(zhàn)士) in less than a month of travel.
In this modern version, the pair are aided by high-tech equipment including a satellite phone, mini-computer, video camera and solar panels to recharge batteries. A mountain tent and portable stove will help them in the remoter stretches.
They plan to average 35-40 kilometers a day, and rest about every third day. Ed admitted that their trip would be very tough.
If they succeed, they will be the first foreigners to complete the entire Long March route since Otto Braun, the German military advisor who accompanied the Red Army on the Long March.
小題1: This text is mainly about          .
A．high-tech equipment helpful to the Long March
B．first foreigners to walk the Long March
C．British recall of the Long March spirit
D．British editors’ adventure original in China
小題2: The underlined word “auspicious” most probably means          .
A．friendlyB．favourableC．strangeD．surprising
小題3: Which of the following statements is NOT true about the two foreigners?
A．They will use anything modern on the way.
B．They will do some cooking by themselves.
C．They’re planning to have a book published one year later.
D．They will send off news about what happens day by day.

No one else knew about the extra club in Zach Nash’s golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament（錦標(biāo)賽）last summer in Wisconsin, US.
The 14-year-old accepted his medal, celebrated with his grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. “Count your clubs,” he told the teenager.
Fifteen—one more than allowed. Zach’s eyes filled with tears.
If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered a violation after the win, it would not have mattered. It is nothing unusual for a soccer player to dive to the turf to draw fouls（假摔以使對方犯規(guī)）.
Golf is different. In a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard. Golf isn’t a game where referees watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call penalties（處罰）on themselves.
“It was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They care about doing the right thing,” said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.
Honesty became a medal of honor. When one of the game’s early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open, he replied: “You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank.”
So even the error had no effect on Zach’s final score—he has never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. “But this is golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do,” he said.   
Then came another tournament. Before teeing off(開球), Zach counted his clubs—four times.
小題1:What can we infer from the text?  
A．A friend put an extra club in Zach’s bag.
B．Zach returned the medal that he had won.
C．Zach’s grandparents encouraged him to play fair.
D．Zach regretted meeting with the professional player.
小題2:According to Robert, golf is different from other sports in that ______.
A．honor comes before victory
B．players are superior to coaches
C．referees have to watch each shot
D．players needn't care about medals
小題3: What can be learned from the underlined sentence?
A．One should be praised for not robbing a bank.
B．Bobby looked down upon bank robbers.
C．Little did Bobby care about the penalty.
D．Observing rules demands no praise.
小題4: Why did Zach count his clubs four times before the following tournament?
A．He remembered the lesson.B．He lacked self-confidence.
C．He felt a little too nervous.
D．He was no good with numbers.

Steinbeck, John, 1902-68, American writer, born in Salinas, Calif., studied at Stanford. He is probably best remembered for his strong sociological novel The Grapes of Wrath, considered one of the great American novels of the 20th century. Steinbeck's early novels-Cup of Gold (1929), The Pastures of Heaven (1932), and To a God Unknown (1933)-attracted little critical attention, but Tortilla Flat (1935), an affectionate（親切的）yet realistic novel about the lovely, Spanish-speaking poor of Monterey, was enthusiastically received.
A merciful understanding of the world's poor was to be Steinbeck's mark. The novel In Dubious Battle (1936) defends striking immigrant agricultural workers in the California fields. In the novel Of Mice and Men (1937; later made into a play), Steinbeck again presents immigrant workers, but this time in terms of human worth and integrity（完好）－a theme he also used in The Moon Is Down (1942; later made into a play), about Norwegian resistance to the Nazis. The Grapes of Wrath (1939; Pulitzer Prize), while treating the hard situation of dispossessed Dust Bowl farmers during the 1930s, presents a universal picture of victims of disaster. Steinbeck's description of the westward migration of the Joad family, and their following struggles in the agricultural industry of California, is realistic and moving, and he presents his inferior characters with nobility.
Steinbeck's other works are diverse, ranging from the literal account of a voyage, The Sea of Cortez (1941; written with the marine biologist E. F. Ricketts),to a moral story, The Pearl (1948); to a French folk piece, The Short Reign of Pippin IV (1957). Love of his native land shines through the delicately nostalgic story "The Red Pony" in The Long Valley (1938). The somewhat emotional attitude of Tortilla Flat appears again in Cannery Row (1945), The Wayward Bus (1947), and Sweet Thursday (1954). 
小題1: How many novels adapted into a play are mentioned in the passage ?_________.
A．NineB．SevenC．FourD．Two
小題2:Accoding to the passage , which of the following is true?
A．The Grapes of Wrath, is considered one of the great novels of this century.
B．Only in the novel In Dubious Battle Steinbeck referred to immigrant workers.
C．In The Grapes of Wrath, farmers living in Dust Bowl possess almost nothing.
D．All Steinbeck’s late works are related to his love of his native land.
小題3:We can learn from the passage that Steinbeck         .
A．did not draw much attention until Tortilla Flat was published
B．wrote all his novels in terms of human worth and integrity
C．presented poor but noble characters in all his novels
D．showed his love for his native land in The Short Reign of Pippin IV
小題4:The passage is mainly about Steinbeck’s          .
A．worksB．lifeC．fameD．prize
