In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank．He got into a life boat, but his supplies were   21 ．His chances of surviving were small．  22  when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive —much   23  than he was when he started, but alive．
His   24  of how he survived is fascinating．His cleverness —how he   25  to catch fish, how he evaporated（蒸發(fā)） sea water to   26  fresh water—is very interesting．
But the thing that   27  my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no   28  in continuing the struggle．He was starved and 29  worn-out．Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice．
When people   30  these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going．Many people in   31  desperate circumstances 32   in or go mad．Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on   33  difficulties．
"I tell myself I can   34  it," wrote Callahan in his book．-Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate．I tell myself these things over and over,  35  up courage．．．"
I wrote that down after 1 read it．It   36  me as something important．And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed   37  off or when my problems seemed too terrible．And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my   38  ．
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad   39  to something better．But others have been through the much worse, that is, in comparison with what others have been through, you're fortunate．Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you   40  through the rough situations with a little more courage．

A month after Hurricane Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans. There lay my house, reduced towaist-high ruins, smelly and dirty.
Before the trip, I’d had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill，she noticed my Louisiana license plate. “You from New Orleans?”she asked I said I was, “No charge.”She said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing happened.
As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage (抵押貸款〉on our mined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We’d began to accept that we*d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kemmedy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for State, the online magazine  and wanted to give us (""no conditions attached’）a new house across thelake from New Orleans.
It sounded too good to be true, but I replied, thanking him for his exceptional generosity, that we had no plan to go back. Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to let his house to me, while he went to England on his one-year paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kemdedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.
Throughout this painful experience, the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity. It’s almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance.
小題1:The garage employee’s attitude toward the author was that of          
A．unconcernB．sympathy
C．doubtD．tolerance
小題2:What do we know about James Kemnedy?
A．He was a writer of an online magazine.
B．He was a poet at the University of Florida
C．He offered the author a new house free of charge.
D．He learned about the author’s sufferings via e-mail
小題3:It can be inferred from the text that         
A．the author’s family was in financial difficulty
B．rents were comparatively reasonable despite the disaster
C．houses were difficult to find in the hurricane-stricken area
D．the mortgage on the ruined house was paid off by the bank
小題4:The author learned from his experience that         
A．worldly possessions can be given up when necessary
B．generosity should be encouraged in some cases
C．people benefit from their sad stories
D．human beings are kind after all.

Ann was on her first package trip in Rosas, Spain.
At the hotel, she checked in, and then went to her room to change before dinner. She was just ready to go downstairs when she found that her Spanish money wasn’t in her handbag. She carefully looked in all her luggage, but she couldn’t find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English pound notes in it!
Ann found a place to change her English money. She had very few pesetas(西班牙貨幣單位), and she would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food; she’d just have breakfast each day, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast.
For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath. When the other tourists went to interesting places, she always said she wasn’t well. In fact, her holiday wasn’t bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn’t very much.
Late in the afternoon of their last day, a girl, Jane, asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel restaurant. Ann told her about her money problems. Jane looked at her for a minute, and then said, “But didn’t you know? The price of this holiday includes everything!”
小題1:“A package trip” probably means _________.
A．a(chǎn) free trip
B．a(chǎn) long journey
C．a(chǎn) pleasant trip
D．a(chǎn) trip that includes the cost of all the tickets and services
小題2:Ann didn’t eat dinners in the restaurant of the hotel because _________.
A．she was afraid that she couldn’t pay for them with her little money
B．her doctor told her not to eat them
C．she wasn’t well
D．she wasn’t hungry
小題3:Why did Ann buy some cheese, some bread and some oranges?
A．Because they were good for her health.
B．Because she planned to eat them instead of lunch and supper.
C．Because she liked them more than dinners in the hotel restaurant.
D．Because she is afraid that she couldn’t eat enough in the hotel restaurant.
小題4:How do you think Jane would feel after she heard Ann’s answer?

Embroidering(刺繡)
When I was a little boy living in New York, my mother used to embroider a great deal. I would sit at her knee and look up from the    36    and ask what she was doing. She   37  me that she was embroidering. I told her that it looked like a mess from where I was. As from the underside I watched her work within the    38  of the little round hoop（鐵環(huán)）that she held in her hand, I complained to her that it sure looked   39   from where I sat.
She would smile at me, look down and  40   say, "My son, you go about your    41   for a while, and when I am finished with my embroidering, I will put you on my    42   and let you see it from my side."
I would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the    43   ones and why they seemed so jumbled（混亂的）from my   44  . A few minutes would pass and then I would hear Mother's voice say, " Son, come and sit on my knee." This I did only to be  surprised and    45  to see a beautiful flower or a sunset. I could not    46  it, because from underneath it looked so messy.
Then mother would    47   to me, "My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumbled, but you did not realize that there was a   48  plan on the top. It was a    49   . I was only following it. Now look at it from my side    50   you will see what I was doing."
Many    51    through the years, I have    52   up to my Heavenly Father and said, “ Father, what are You doing? ” He    53   , “ I am embroidering your    54  . ”I say, " But it looks like a mess to me. It seems so jumbled. The threads seem so dark. Why can't they all be bright ? " The Father seems to tell me, " My child, you go about your business of doing My business, and one day I will bring you to    55   and put you on my knee and you will see the plan from My side. "

Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar（美洲豹）saw Jeb and his son, Tom, before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.
Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.
“Tom, no!” shouted his father.
But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.
Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws（爪子）got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.
“Knife, Tom,” shouted Jeb.
The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.
The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.
小題1:Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?
A．To get ready to fight.B．To frighten it away.
C．To protect the boy.D．To cool down.
小題2:What do we know about cougars?
A．They are afraid of noises.
B．They hesitate before they hit.
C．They are bigger than we think.
D．They like to attack running people.
小題3:Which of the following happened first?
A．The cougar jumped from the rock.
B．Tom struggled free of his father.
C．Jeb asked Tom to get the knife.
D．Jeb held Tom across his body.

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left   1 . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other   2 ?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s,  3  children from different races and religions played and studied   4 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s   5  from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just   6  our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well   7  or otherwise.

One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I   12  my destination. The driver acknowledged my   13  but did not move off. Instead, he looked   14  at me. “Raddar?” he said, using my childhood nickname. I was astonished at being so   15  addressed (稱呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two   16  we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something   17  to describe.
If we can allow our children to be   18  without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be   19  their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and   20  we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote,“we happy few, we band of brothers”.
