“How can you be nice to that man?” we said to him. “You’ve been so kind to him, and he’s not being kind back. Why would you want to give him the time of day again?”
My father shrugged（聳肩）and said to us, “I do not bend my back with   27 . ”

After my father died in 1991, a (n)   30  came from a fellow I’d had a quarrel with years before to   31  his sympathy. He wrote: “I thought I’d tell you how sorry I am   32  the loss of your father. I know he   33  the world to you. I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts. ”
Much moved, I wrote back. I thanked him for his   34 . And then, because he’d   35

Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius.“ There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.
But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.
Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “ Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.
小題1: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Edison invented the electric light.
B．Many other people have changed Edison’s life.
C．Edison has changed the life of many other people.
D．Few men in history can change other people’s life.
小題2: Edison thought              .
A．he could be happy if he was a genius
B．genius plays the most important part in one’s success
C．hard work could do better than genius
D．genius could do better than hard work
小題3: Edison was              .
A．very much interested in nature
B．interested in discovering the secrets of nature
C．interested in changing people’s ideas
D．uninterested in making people happier by discovering the secrets of nature
小題4:In Edison’s opinion,            .
A．thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as help
B．people’s success lies mostly in genius
C．hard work is the second important thing in making people successful
D．there are few secrets for him to discover later

My wife and I spent two weeks in London last year. We went there in the autumn. We think it is the best season to visit England. The weather is usually good and there aren’t too many tourists in October.
We stayed in a small hotel in the West End. It was convenient as we did most of our sightseeing on foot. Taxis were too expensive, we couldn’t understand the bus routes, and my wife didn’t like traveling under the ground. She said it made her feel sick.
We went to look at the places which all tourists visit. We saw Buckingham Palace. We went shopping in Oxford Street and spent too much money. What we liked most, though, was going to the theatre. We didn’t have the chance to see such wonderful plays at home. A lot of people say English food is bad. We didn’t think so. It is true that most of the restaurants are French or Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals.
In fact, we enjoyed our holiday so much that we have already booked again for this year. We are going to take our umbrellas, though. I’m sure we’ll need them sometimes.

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(臨終醫(yī)院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(計(jì)價(jià)器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
小題1: The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.
A．show she was familiar with the cityB．see some places for the last time
C．let the driver earn more moneyD．reach the destination on time
小題2:The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______.
A．wanted to do her a favor
B．shut off the meter by mistake
C．had received her payment in advance
D．was in a hurry to take other passengers
小題3:What can we learn from the story?
A．Giving is always a pleasure.
B．People should respect each other.
C．An act of kindness can bring people great joy.
D．People should learn to appreciate others’ concern.

Daniel stays home on workdays. He starts his personal computer in order to connect with the office which is about three hundred miles away in another city. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Daniel doesn’t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn’t see any people except the ones on television. Daniel is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals (終端) in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’ salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts. Many companies and consumers have already changed the way they sell or buy products. E-commerce, or business done on the Internet, is becoming more and more popular. This, therefore, makes it possible for people to do shopping without going out of their homes.
Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for example, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living-rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing as well. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living-rooms.
小題1:After work, Daniel likes to ______.
A．listen to music at the concert hallB．watch a movie in his living-room
C．chat with his friends on the net D．play baseball with his workmates
小題2:The underlined sentence “Daniel is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible” means ______.
A．Daniel is a person full of imagination and he can make his life colorful.
B．Daniel is not a real person but the lifestyle of his kind does exist.
C．Daniel is only an ordinary person but he has his own way of living.
D．Daniel is a model who makes full use of modern technology in life.
小題3: What will the writer most probably discuss after the last paragraph?
A．Games and sportsB．Personal banking
C．Music and filmsD．International business
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.
B．Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.
C．We may no longer need to work in the office.
D．Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.

I remember growing up, my mom always said, “Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others.” It is so true. Friends and mates allow us to enjoy our success and our joys, comfort us in our challenging moments, and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I’ve always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, “A friend is a present which you give yourself.”
To be a good friend or partner, it’s importable be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jumping to conclusions or getting defensive. Sometimes it is useful to be their mirror, for when they hear their words repeated back to them; it can help them to realize that what they said was not exactly what they meant to say.
Patience, compassion and empathy are also important traits in being a good friend or partner. You know the old golden rule, “Care for others the way you would like them to care for you.” The support of a friend during a tough time could make the difference between success and failure. Encouragement and confidence are priceless gifts that can help change a person’s life.
Take care, though, with whom you choose to have close relationship, for they can have a tremendous impact on your self-esteem and life path. As someone once told me, “the attitude of your friends is like the buttons on an elevator. They will either take you up or down.”
小題1:In order to make good friends, you should do the following except ______.
A．Be a good listenerB．Be patient, compassionate
C．Be carefulD．Be generous to your friends
小題2:What will you do to your friends according to the passage?
A．Buy your friend a mirror.B．Point out their mistakes if there is any
C．Give them encouragement and confidence.D．Pay attention what they do
小題3:What does the underlined sentence in the passage mean?
A．It is different whether you have friends or not.
B．The support of friends counts when you have difficulties.
C．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D．You are certain to succeed if you get the support of friends.
小題4:Which of the following statements is not right according to the passage?
A．It is good to share your fun with other.
B．The friend is a mirror for us to learn more about others.
C．You’d better be a good listener if you want to be a good friend.
D．Be careful to choose your friend.
