“Tell me what you were like when you were my age,” I asked my mother one afternoon. She looked up, 21 at my question. After a long time she answered, “I was 22 like you. Then, there was only one career for girls — being a hard-working 23. To tell the truth, it is 24 for me to tell you that I 25 my mother when I was growing up. I did so much for her. Besides doing lots of housework, every night I would go into my parents’ bedroom, and wash their feet with warm water. Not once did my mother ever said, ‘thank you’."
I stared out of the window, remembering 26 I grew up, always wanting to hear a word of 27 from her, but getting only the rule and 28 I could never live up to (做到). I remembered the years when she 29 me to get up at six every morning and cook breakfast for the family before leaving for school. Least of all, I remembered the times she’d 30 me to other girls who were as old as me and found me useless.
“Nothing was ever 31 enough for my mother,’’ continued my mother, “ but now I know she did 32 me, even if she never said so. I told you this just for a 33. Yes, I love all my children, but you are my first child, the first in everything to me. I have been very strict and hard on you, but I 34 you in the only way I knew. I am 35 proud of you.”

I saw Jerry about six months after the  33 . I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. “Did you lose consciousness? Weren’t you  34 ?” I asked.
“No,” Jerry said, “35  when I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.”
“A nurse asked if I was allergic (過敏的) to anything. ‘Yes’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped  36  as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘37 !’”
“Over the laughter, I told them, ‘Please  38  on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”
Jerry survived  39  the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. Attitude, after all, is  40 .

Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking   34  to steal money when he chose to live on the street.

Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During the next few years I had dealt with Brett a   36  as possible, but inside I was shouting. “I don’t want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can’t   37  him!” Having wiped my tears, I continued   38  him as before.
When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall(少管所). After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping   39  teens.
At the   40  ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had  41  the most to him or her. Brett spoke   42  to his parents and then spoke to me, “You did so much. You were always there, no matter   43  . My mom and dad, I was their kid. But you,  44   troubled enough by me, always   45  me such love. And I want you to know I love you for it.”

At that moment, tears   48  in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for   49 . Although I had struggled with silent   50  toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions. Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them.

When 7-year-old Warren Buffet said “ I will be the richest man one day”, his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money, selling drinks, delivering newspapers and buying stocks. He had already earned $ 9,000 ( equal to $ 90,000 today) by the time he graduated from high school and became a millionaire at 32.
And this month the 77-year- old, who earned his fortune by making a lot of great investment in the stock market, made his childhood dream come true. With a fortune of $ 62billion, Buffet has risen to be the world’s richest man according to Forbes Magazine.
Born in 1930, Buffet, the only son of a stockbroker, started on achieving his billion-dollar dream at an early age and was always ready to think outside the box to develop his business. At 8 he went to golf courses collecting and selling used balls.
At 11 when he sold soda pop door to door with a friend, the pair collected lids on the streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.
As a paper boy during high school, Buffet delivered two rival (競爭對手的)papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffet bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collect rent.
Young Buffet stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $ 5. The experience taught him one of the virtues (品質(zhì)) in investing: patience.
After graduating from university, Buffet started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-cola, Buffet has become rich.
“Learning is important to Buffet’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. He keeps learning, from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he finally over achieved his aptitude ( 才能) ，” said Charlie Munger, his long-time business partner.
小題1:Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the selection？
A．What is Buffet’s approach to investing.
B．How do other people view Buffet.
C．How has Buffet handled hardships in his life.
D．How did Buffet make a fortune and realize his dream.
小題2:With the example of delivering two rival papers in high school, the author intends to tell us that Buffet______.
A．had a good sense of business
B．was a good paper boy
C．was hard to deal with business
D．knew anything but how to make money
小題3:. What did Buffet learn from his early experience of investing in stock market?
A．You never stop learning.
B．Be patient in business.
C．Only buy stocks of solid companies that are undervalued and inexpensive.
D．Stick to buying stocks in companies such as American Express and Coca-cola.
小題4:. Which of the following can most probably serve as the title of the selection?
A．Buffet – Good Example for All
B．Buffet- a Newspaper Boy
C．Buffet- Investor in Stock Market
D．Buffet- a Successful Daydreamer

Violin prodigies (神童), I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear,” he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.
Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac Stern, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.
That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance（遺傳） plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.
小題1:     Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because ________.
A．it would allow them access to a better life in the West
B．Jewish children are born with excellent musical talent
C．they wanted their children to enter into the professional field
D．it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country
小題2:     Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that ________.
A．a(chǎn)re highly motivated in the education of music
B．treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full development
C．encourage people to compete with each other
D．promise talented children high positions
小題3:     Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage?
A．a(chǎn) natural gift.B．extensive knowledge of music.
C．very early training.D．a(chǎn) prejudice-free society.
小題4:     Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A．Jewish Contribution to MusicB．Training of Musicians in the World
C．Music and SocietyD．The Making of Music Prodigies

The day was Thankful Thursday. It's a weekly tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive contribution. On this particular Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do. At noon, I drove to a McDonald’s with my daughters because they kept complaining that they hadn’t had enough to eat at breakfast. There we saw some homeless people in the street and we bought lunch for them.
We were about to complete when we found a small woman standing at the corner, asking for change. We handed her some food, and then started to head home. Suddenly from the mirror of the car, I saw the woman waving at us, so I had to turn around and stopped where the small woman stood. She walked to our car, and said, "Thank you, lady! No one has ever done anything like this for me before." I replied, "Well, I'm glad that we were the first." Feeling uneasy, and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, "So, when do you think you'll eat your lunch?"
She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, "Oh honey, I'm not going to eat this lunch." I was confused, but before I could say anything, she continued. "You see, I have a little girl of my own at home and she just loves McDonald's, but I can never buy it for her because I just don't have the money. But you know what…tonight she is going to have McDonald's!"
I don't know if the kids noticed the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our Acts of Kindness were too small to have effect on those poor people. Yet at that moment, I realized the truth of Mother Teresa's words: "We cannot do great things — only small things with great love."
小題1:
According to this passage, the small woman was ______.
A．too happy to stand at the corner
B．too eager to ask for more food
C．too poor to buy McDonald’s
D．too busy to care for her daughter
小題2:
What can we know from the passage?
A．The author finally realized what she did was of use to the poor.
B．The author would stop doing her acts of kindness to the poor.
C．The author’s daughters found their mother cried at the end of the day.
D．The author’s daughters would make friends with the woman’s daughter.
小題3:
What would be the best title of the passage?
A．No Pains No Gains
B．No Pleasure Without Pain
C．No Small Act of Kindness
D．No Sweet Without Sweat
