While I was in 9th grade, I built a circuit (電路裝置) for the traffic system of our city. After getting the first prize. I got this valuable advice from my father; “Do whatever interests you, and don’t let the work challenge you, make sure you are challenging that work.”
I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small sections. When I understood it clearly, used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding (編碼). At first, I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the question “How do I do it?” As I kept working and discussed with my professor, I became more comfortable and those “how ”questions soon turned into “what if I do this and that” types of questions.
It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy. I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didn’t know what to do. At that moment, a man came in to clean. He has headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again, and soon I fixed the problem.
My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have gained the confidence to attempt any kind of project.
According to the passage, the writer was interested in .
A．developing traffic systems B．doing challenging projects
C．winning great prizes D．writing different codes
The writer asked the question “how do I do it” at first because .
A．he had no clear idea about his program B．he was too shy to express himself
C．he wanted to be understood easily D．he preferred this kind of question
We learn from the passage that the writer’s shipping program .
A．would benefit people a lot B．was done together with others
C．was difficult and needed patience D．cost much money and energy
What would be the best title of the passage?
A．Do It Yourself B．No Pains, No Gains
C．Learning with interest D．Practice Makes Perfect

The Best of Friends
The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image（印象）of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.” We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team.” They’re expected to be rebellious（叛逆的） and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation（商議） and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.” My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees.”Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments. “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in out social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change fromm helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
67．What is the popular images of teenagers today?
A．They worry about school
B．They dislike living with their parents
C．They have to be locked in to avoid troubles
D. They quarrel a lot with other family members
68．The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ___
A．share family responsibility
B．cause trouble in their families
C．go boating with their family
D．make family decisions
69．Compared with parents of 30 years age, today’s parents___.
A．go to clubs more often with their children
B．a(chǎn)re much stricter with their children
C．care less about their children’s life
D．give their children more freedom
70．According to the authors, teenage rebellion____.
A．may be a false belief
B．is common nowadays
C．existed only in the 1960s
D．resulted from changes in families
71．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Negotiation in family
B．Education in family
C．Harmony in family
D．Teenage trouble in family

Mail carriers will be delivering some good news and some bad news this week.
The bad news: Stamp prices are expected to rise 2 cents in May to 41 cents, the Postal Regulatory Commission announced yesterday. The good news: With the introduction of a “forever stamp,”it may be the last time Americans have to use annoying 2-or 3-cent stamps to make up postage differences.
Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stamps in booklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-class stamp. As the name implies, “forever stamps” will keep their first-class mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up.
The new “forever stamp” is the United States Postal Service’（USPS） answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increase will be the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation （通貨膨脹），competition from online bill paying, and the rising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunders, a Spokesman for USPS.
The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp” and the savings from not printing as many 2-or 3-cent stamps. “It’s not your grandfather’s stamp,” says Mr. Saunders. “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp.”
Other countries, including
Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, he’s interested in the public’s reaction. “This is an entirely new class of stamps,” Mr. Schilling says. He adds that he’ll buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time, not because they could make him rich-the volume printed will be too large for collectors. “We won’t be able to send our kids to college on these,” he says, laughing.
The USPS board of governors has yet o accept the Postal Regulatory Commission’s decision, but tends to follow its recommendations. No plans have been announced yet for the design of the stamps.
72．The main purpose of introducing a “forever stamp”is .
A．to reduce the cost of printing 2-or 3-cent stamps
B．to help save the consumers’ cost on first-class mailing
C．to respond to the complaints about rising postal rates
D．to compete with online bill paying
73．By saying “It could be your great-grand children’s stamp”, Mr. Saunders means that forever stamps .
A．could be collected by one’s great-grandchildren
B．might be very precious in great-grandchildren’s hands
C．might have been inherited from one’s great-grandfathers
D．could be used by one’s great-grandchildren even decades later
74．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The investment in forever stamps will bring adequate reward.
B．
C．The design of the “forever stamp” remains to be revealed.
D．2-or 3-cent stamps will no longer be printed in the future.
75．What can be concluded from the passage?
A．With forever stamps, there will be no need to worry about rate changes.
B．Postal workers will benefit most form the sales of forever stamps.
C．The inflation has become a threat to the sales of first-class stamps.
D．New interest will be aroused in collecting forever stamps.

I have recently completed my college degree. The last project was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out to smile at three people and document their reactions（反應）. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake.
My husband, the youngest son and I went out to McDonald. We were standing in line when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away. As I turned around I smelled a horrible body odour（氣味） and saw two poor homeless men standing behind me. As I looked at the short blue-eyed gentleman closest to me, he was “smiling”. The second man fumbled（摸索）with his hands as he stood behind his friend.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss, ” because that was all they could afford.
Then I really felt it—I almost embraced（擁抱）the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the lady for two more breakfast meals and gave them to the men.
The blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Thank you. ”
I turned in my project. My teacher said, “Can I share this? ” I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings share this need to heal people and to be healed.
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s and every soul that heard the story in the classroom. But, I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn.
55. The underlined part “a piece of cake” in Paragraph 1 means_______.
A. easy B. embarrassing
C. moving D. comfortable
56. Why did people around the author in the McDonald step back?
A. Because they were very polite to the two men.
B. Because they were moved by the two men.
C. Because the two men smelt terrible.
D. Because the two men seemed unfriendly.
57. Why did the two men only buy coffee?
A. Because they didn’t have enough money.
B. Because they didn’t feel hungry.
C. Because they knew others would help them.
D. Because they were looked down upon.
58. How did the teacher think of the author’s project?
A. Hard to believe. B. Interesting to read.
C. Very puzzling. D. Very satisfying.
