1. C。由文中的But Dad, it’s 18 miles可知距離遠(yuǎn)，且其他三項(xiàng)均未在原文中有所提示，故選C。
2. D。service意為“修理、維修（機(jī)器）”，文意指把車送去檢修。
3. D。promise意為“承諾、答應(yīng)”，“我”向父親承諾下午4點(diǎn)來接他。
4. C。根據(jù)上下文中父親讓“我”開車送他去Mijas，然后把車開去修車廠可知這里選C。
5. A。however意為“然而”，由上下文的內(nèi)容可知此處表示轉(zhuǎn)折，故選A。
6. B。find out意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)、查明”，句意：我想若是父親知道我是一直在看電影，他會生氣的。
7. D。由下文說晚了兩小時，可知“我”是要急忙趕去，故選D。
8. D。start意為“開始”，leave意為“離開”，不符文章意思，故排除，arrive僅指到達(dá)的瞬間動作，也排除。
9. C。look意為“眼神”，由下文父親再次看著“我”可知上父親的眼神讓“我”難以忘記。
10. D。feel意為“覺得、認(rèn)為”，文意：我對你認(rèn)為不得不對我說謊感到很失望。
11. A。turn up 意為“出現(xiàn)、露面”，父親等了很久，“我”卻仍未出現(xiàn)。
12. B。problem意為“問題、難題”，父親是在擔(dān)心出了什么問題。
13. A。ashamed意為“慚愧的”，frightened意為“害怕的”，nervous意為“緊張的”，surprised意為“吃驚的”，“我”對父親說了謊，后來告訴他真相時自然會感到慚愧。
14. B。sadness意為“悲傷、難過”，父親對“我”采取撒謊的方式而感到很難過。
15. B。根據(jù)后句I realize I’ve failed as a father可知父親是對自己感到生氣，故選B。
16. A。where指在哪里，原文中指父親要反省自己在哪些地方錯了。
17. B。meaningless意為“無意義的”，useless意為“無用的”，helpless意為“無助的”，worthless意為“無價值的”，父親已下決心，我所做的也就變得毫無意義。
18. C。ask意為“要求”，persuade意為“勸說”，beg意為“乞求”，follow意為“跟隨”，C項(xiàng)最符合文意，“我”犯了錯，想求父親上車。
19. A。相對于emotional(情感上的)的是physical(身體上)，由父親采取步行回家的方式可知他還遭受了身體上的痛苦。
20. C。also意為“也……”，這件事是“我”最痛苦的經(jīng)歷，也是“我最成功的教訓(xùn)”。

A week ago, I read When Money Talks, Listen! by Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read, and that included one trip to the coffee maker and about 10 distractions (分心)from Alex, our cat, who thinks he is the center of the universe.
When I first received a copy, I thought it was a get-rich-quick type of publication. There is nothing wrong with that kind of book, but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth. I figure that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse.
When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen!, I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry for things far more important than money.
I absolutely love this e-book. Why did I wait a week to write the review ? simple. I wanted to see if the impact it had on me could keep up. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle(副標(biāo)題)which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install a stop light to stop some while others made their way into the picture. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is.
It has been a week and the impact is the same. I guarantee this is an e-book you’ll want to read. I urge you to visit the author’s website, MysterMoney. Com, and to download the e-book. You won’t
regret it.
小題1:What’s the purpose of the passage?
A．to strongly recommend an e-book
B．to show the author’s attitude to money

A．he was too excited to write anything

    If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life，one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have．Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment．
Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal（敘舊）with the friends，relatives and acquaintances we already have．
Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!

If you haven’t seen much of them lately。is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?
If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy，take a good look at how you spend your time．Compare it with your real values and priorities（優(yōu)先考慮的事）in life．Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?   
If you have become too busy for friends，why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings?

What is freedom? It seems like such a simple question. Freedom is being able to do what you want to do. Allow me to explain it.
I’m tired of working for a living. I’d rather collect taxes. So that’s what I’m going to do: collect a kind of tax. You are ordered to estimate your income from the past 12 months, and write me a check for 1%. I have provided a mailing address for this purpose on my contact page …
What? You have a problem with my plan? Oh, I see. If you have to send me a check for the tax, then I have hurt your freedom to spend that money as you see fit. We have a conflict! And our basic problem is: we cannot enjoy freedom at the same time; we must settle for a limit. But what limit?
Libertarians (自由論者) believe freedom should be based on self-control. They describe freedom as being able to do what you want to do as long as it doesn’t influence the equal right of others to do what they want to do. That is, freedom is being able to do what you like as long as you do not harm another person’s life, liberty or property.
You can build a set of legal and ethical (道德的) rules on the principle of self-control, and libertarians do. Their request for self-control often becomes more important than common sense, or even freedom itself.
The definition rules out the freedom to steal, murder, and so on. Otherwise, you can do whatever you want. There is no problem until you realize that taxation is theft, that war is murder, and that national service is a form of slavery. Since only the government has a legal right to use force, libertarians focus on making the government smaller, or even going without it. The libertarians’ definition of freedom is thus freedom from the government. Isn’t it ridiculous?
小題1:According to the first three paragraphs, the author’s idea of collecting taxes is _________.
A．reasonableB．responsibleC．unacceptableD．understandable
小題2:The author takes tax-collecting as an example in the passage to prove that freedom is _________.
A．unrealB．unbelievableC．a(chǎn)chievableD．limited
小題3:In the opinion of libertarians, freedom is realized mainly by _________.
A．the lawB．self-controlC．ethical rulesD．common sense
小題4:Which of the following statements is supported by libertarians according to the passage?
A．National service should be canceled.
B．People can do whatever they want.
C．The government should have more power.
D．They should be governed by the government.

What happens to mother-daughter relationships when girls become teenagers. It seems that girls go from playing “dress up”, to arguing with their mothers about how they should dress.
When a girl is 3-4 years old they love to “dress up” in their mothers’ clothes, put on their mothers’ makeup, cook, and do whatever else their mother does. This is the time when she can be classified as being a mama’s girl.
How come girls change so much from childhood to the teenage years? Many parents seek the answer when their daughter becomes a teen. Often when a girl enters high school her behavior changes as well as her physical appearance.
When I was young I always liked playing “dress up”. It made me feel older and more like my mother. Even when I entered middle school, I still depended a lot on my mother to choose and buy my clothes. Once I entered high school there was a big change. To me, my mother’s clothes were no longer “in fashion”, and neither was her opinion. I started becoming interested in boys and tried to improve the way I looked. It was not that I wanted to look cool, I just wanted to look my age.
This is the time that the mother-daughter relationship can take a turn. It’s difficult for a mother to know that her daughter is no longer totally dependent on her.
When the daughter starts wearing revealing clothing, dating, and just wanting to be more independent, a mother starts to feel left out, or not needed. The number of arguments increases, and the number of times when the mother and daughter get along happily decreases.
When these things start to happen, it is a sign that the daughter wants her independence and the freedom to grow up.
When you notice how much your relationship had changed, try to believe positive things come out of the change. Put all the negatives aside and concentrate on what your mother is feeling instead of just on what you’re feeling.
When it seems too hard to handle, take some quiet time and write out your feelings. Maybe at another time, you can share them with your mother and try to find a way to better your relationship as mother and daughter. If you don’t feel comfortable sharing your feelings, at least write them down so you can get them out. It’s better than keeping them bottled up inside.
小題1:The girls would argue with their mothers because ________.
A．they need more independence
B．mothers want daughters to be mama’s girls again
C．they think their mothers’ clothes are no longer in fashion
D．a(chǎn)ll of the above
小題2:From the passage, we know that ________.
A．the teenage period is a sensitive part in human life
B．the parents can’t get the answer why their daughters change a lot
C．they can get on well only in talking, no matter what mothers or daughters do
D．mothers should concentrate on their own feelings
小題3:A “mama’s girl” will Not________.
A．dress up in her mother’s clothes
B．depend a lot on her mother to choose and buy her clothes
C．like wearing revealing clothing
D．think her mother’s clothes are in fashion
小題4:When the daughter starts wanting to be more independent, ________.
A．a(chǎn) mother starts to feel left out
B．it is the time when mother and daughter get on joyfully increases
C．she wants to look cool
D．All of the above
