“Dad! He took a book without paying!” I yelled .
My father looked surprised. Before the boy could say anything, his mother grabbed his arm and shook it. “Is it true? You stole? Tell me!”
Everyone was quiet. The boy began to cry, and he nodded his head. He pulled out the comic book (漫畫書) from under his shirt. 
“Oh, Mr. Kim. I am sorry! My Ted made a big mistake!” Mrs. Diaz told my father. She tried to take the comic book, but Ted wouldn’t let go.
“It’s OK. He can keep it,” my father said with a smile.
“Oh no,” Mrs. Diaz said. “Let me pay right now ...” She dug in her purse. “How much?”
“Three seventy-five.”
Mrs. Diaz’s eyes widened, and she dug deeper. I saw her mouth make a small line. “Three seventy-five?” she asked.  
“It’s OK. You can pay later,” my father said.
“No,” Mrs. Diaz said. She kept looking in her purse. “I have money here.”
I felt bad for yelling, for I realized that Ted had tried to steal the comic book because he didn’t have the money. Maybe the boy could have a job, I thought.
I had an idea.
“What if he worked with me?” I asked. They turned to me.
I said, “He can work with me to pay for the comic book.”
“Good,” my father said smiling at me. Mrs. Diaz nodded. She turned to her son, “You hear? You will work and buy the comic book!”  
“Yes, Mama,” Ted said, hanging his head.
As they left, Ted looked back, and though he still seemed sad, he stuck out (伸出) his tongue at me.
Ted has been working here for two weeks. He has paid for the comic book, but my father says he is such a good worker that he can work with me as long as he wants. We are friends now. 
56. Where did the story most probably take place? 
A. In a classroom.                           B. In a supermarket.  
C. At a bookstore.                       D. At a library. 
57. By saying “but Ted wouldn’t let go” in Paragraph 4, the author means Ted ______.
A. took the book by mistake      B. wanted to keep the book
C. didn’t want to go home        D. didn’t think he was wrong
58. From the underlined sentences in the eighth paragraph, we may infer that Mrs. Diaz ______. 
A. didn’t think her son stole the book
B. had been out of work for a long time
C. forgot to take money with her that day
D. couldn’t afford to pay for the book
59. In the last paragraph, what does the author mainly tell?
A. His idea was successful.        B. Ted didn’t like the job.
C. He liked Ted very much.        D. Ted was a naughty boy.

科目:高中英語 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

A young woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness(不治之癥)and given three months to live. So as she was getting her things “in order”, she asked her pastor(牧師)to come to her house to discuss her final wishes. With everything in order, the pastor was ready to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.
“What’s that?” asked the pastor.
“I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.”
The pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing what to say.
“That surprises you, doesn’t it?” the young woman asked.
“Well, to be honest, I’m puzzled by the request,” said the pastor.
The young woman explained, “In all my years of going to church meetings and dinners, I remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would always lean over and say, ‘Keep your fork.’ It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming, like chocolate cake or apple pie,some dessert like that. Something wonderful! I just want people to see me there in that casket(棺材)with a fork so that when they ask you why I have a fork, you can tell them: ‘Keep your fork—the best is yet to come.’”
The pastor hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge.
At the funeral people were walking by the young woman’s casket and they saw the pretty dress she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the pastor heard the question “Why does she have a fork?” And over and over again he smiled.
So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it reminded you of this young woman gently. Send the message to everyone you consider a friend even if it means sending it back to the person who sent it to you.
And, keep your fork!!
小題1:In the author’s opinion, the woman in this passage is _______.

D.You can not take away your fork
小題3:Which of the following is WRONG about the young woman?
A.She is optimistic about life and diseases.
B.She loves sweet food.
C.She wants her friends to remember her forever.
D.She is a regular church-goer.
小題4:According to the passage, “Keep your fork”, the message may mean “__________”

But as we headed home, I realized how wrong I was and begged him to _49_. But he just said, “That’s okay, we don’t really need one.” I felt _50_ for my selfishness and ungratefulness. He didn’t mind, or _51_ act disappointed.
I _52_ that generosity(慷慨)goes two ways and gratefulness sometimes costs more than “thank you”. On that day gratefulness would have cost 20 cents and it would have been the _53_ ice cream I’d ever had.

In high school I joined the girl athletic club. At our first track meet, I entered for the long jump, but was made an alternate(替補)for the 50 yard dash. I didn’t like it, since I was better at long distance, but they assured me I would never have to run; they just ran out of alternate.
As I walked up to the start line, I saw my Dad on the sidelines. He was watching. Position, ready, set and off went the starting gun. Believe it or not, I closed my eyes and ran like I’d never run before.
I knew I didn’t have a chance of winning. But I started to hear cheering and thought for a minute, was it possible? I opened my eyes and to my disappointment, everyone else was crossing the finish line, inches away from each other and I was only half the distance.
That moment felt like days. I felt so stupid. I just wanted to melt into the ground and disappeared. Worse than that, my Dad was watching and then I felt ashamed. I kept running hard as I could, crying all the way towards the finish line. It seemed no one noticed me as I crossed the finish line. I saw my Dad standing there looking at me. I was ashamed to look at him. He walked over to me and said, “I’m so proud of you.” I was surprised, “For what? Everyone else finished before I even got halfway. I looked like a fool.” “Because you didn’t give up, not even when you realized what had happened. You gave it your all and finished.” I laughed and cried at the same time.
I find I can face what seems impossible, even alone and afraid, and, that winning does not always come in as you expect. I give my best effort to all I do, win or lose. I don’t give up in the middle of anything.
小題1:The author meant to compete in        .
A.the 50 yard dashB.the long jumpC.the long-distance runD.the high jump
小題2:When the author heard cheering, she thought        .
A.she had the chance to win the game
B.she left others inches away halfway
C.other competitors were encouraging her
D.somebody had won the game
小題3:What happened after the author crossed the finish line?
A.She cried at the sight of her father.
B.Everyone cheered her for her success.
C.Her farther came up and comforted her.
D.She felt ashamed to meet her classmates.
小題4:What lesson can we learn form the author’s experience?
A.What seems impossible always becomes possible.
B.Don’t lose heart halfway whatever you do.
C.Success will come as long as you expect it.
D.Try to do everything until you win in the end.

Britain’s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 101. Mr John Evans had never found the time or money to make the trip from his home in Forest – fach, near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all – expense – paid birthday treat to the capital he just could not refuse.
He arrived at Paddington Station and smartly turned out in his best suit, favorite Panama hat and a red rose in his buttonhole. “It’s very exciting. There’s no doubt about it,” he said.
Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. “But I’ve been on the seas to that faraway land called Ilfracombe 21 miles from home,” he joked.
Mr Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. “There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings return from Swansea – too much I thought. All my money went to the family then,” he said.
During the next two days Mr Evans will be taken on a short tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the House of Parliament organized by his MP, Mr Gareth Wardell.
The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided for him if he gets tired. “I don’t like the chair – people will think I am getting old,” he said. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized – no wine, no tobacco and no anger.
Before setting off from Swansea with his 76 – year – old son, Amwell, he said jokingly, “I’m glad to see they’ve given me a return ticket.”
小題1:The very reason that Mr. Evans didn’t go to see the world is that                .
A.he had already been on the seas to Ilfracombe
B.he was too busy to go too far away from home
C.he couldn’t afford both the time and the money
D.he believed “East or west, home is the best”
小題2:Mr Evans didn’t like the wheelchair simply because                 .
A.he was not used to traveling in it
B.the wheelchair was of poor quality and not easy to operate
C.he actually preferred walking to sitting in it at home
D.he thought he was still young enough to manage the trip
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Mr Evans had to work hard to raise his family when young.
B.The trip to London excited Mr Evans very much.
C.Mr Evans could not really enjoy the trip because of his age.
D.Humor was one of Mr Evans’ characters.
小題4:The probable explanation to Mr Evans’ long life lies in                  .
A.his good living habitsB.his hard working for the family
C.his sticking to his hometownD.his living conditions near the Swansea
