That night when she got home，she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written．She and her husband needed money with the baby due(預(yù)期的)next month．She knew how worried her husband was，and as he lay sleeping next to her，she whispered，“Everything’s going to be all right．I love you，Joe．”

A Woman and a Fork
There was a young woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness and could only live three months. So as she was getting her things "in order," she   36  her Rabbi (法師）and had him  come to her house to   37  certain aspects of her final wishes.
She told him which songs she wanted sung at the   38 , what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in.
Everything was in order and the Rabbi was preparing to leave   39  the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.
"There's one more thing," she said   40 . "What' that?" "This is very important, I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."
The Rabbi stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.
“That surprises you, doesn't it?” the young woman asked. "Well, to be honest, I'm   41  by the request," said the Rabbi.
The young woman   42 . “My grandmother once told me this story, and from then on, I have always done so. I have also, always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of   43 . 
In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main   44 were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part   45  I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie…”
So, I just want people to see me there in that casket（棺材）with a fork in my hand and I want them to   46 "What's with the fork?"  47  I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork…the best is yet to come."
The Rabbi's eyes were   48  up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of   49  than he did. She had a better grasp of   50 heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge.
She knew that something better was coming. At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork   51  in her right  hand. Over and over, the Rabbi heard the question "What's with the fork?" And over and over he   52 .
During his message, the Rabbi told the people of the   53  he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and what it symbolized to   54 . The Rabbi told the people how he could not stop thinking about the   55  and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.
He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it remind you ever so gently, that the best is yet to come.

Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My home is on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I   36  my car and was about to drive off, I
  37  at the roadside. A piece of paper   38  my eye. I picked it up and read it   39 . Instantly, I was grateful that I had done that.
The form turned out to be a receipt from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’   40  of their Vehicle’s Registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their shoes and  __41 : no one would throw this away, especially   42  it was current. I also looked over the form for contact or any personal   43 , perhaps a license tag or telephone number. But that seemed __44 . The form had been blown by the wind, so   45  would I find the owners? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date and   46  the names of the owners , who must  47  in our town. I believed that the best and easiest step to take was to put the form in a（n）  48  addressed to the couple and mail it by post. Further, I imagined that if I had posted the receipt to a wrong   49  , how frantic（慌亂的）I’d be. But it was much   __50_  to attempt to return it than to leave them angry, upset , etc. over the   51  , so I did as I thought. My hunch（預(yù)感） was right. On the weekend, a happy couple   52  my house and brought me a big gift. They said they had panicked（恐慌）and   53  the receipt madly everywhere before giving up. Without it they would have to   54  another 8,000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a major trouble by doing   55  that at first glance seemed minor.

John had to go to work. So he set off half an hour 36 than usual and arrived at the library before anybody else. The 37 to come was Mr. Steele, who thought, “This must be a wonder.

When Chato’s barking didn’t stir Jerrica Seals, the recently adopted dog tried nibbling on the teenager’s leg to get the girl out of the burning house.?
“No one was hurt.” Fort Myers firefighters responded at about 7:00 a.m.
Five people lived in the Garcia’s home. That was neighbor Janice Hamilton’s main concern when she looked out of her window Friday and saw the flames. “I just threw my pants on to run outside and make sure they knew how many people lived there,” Hamilton said. “It was scary.”
“Seals called me screamingly,” said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seals’ boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the house. “She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg.”?
It is said that Garcia’s brother brought Chato home several weeks ago after the animal wandered onto a Lehigh Acres construction site. Since then, Vega said, Chato had been mostly quiet until it mattered. “He doesn’t usually bark.” Vega said. “He’s really friendly.”?
According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an improper extension cord(電纜) used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the house was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure. Estimates （估計(jì)）for repair costs were unavailable. “I’d say it’s unlikely they will recover this, but I’ve been surprised before.” Clyatt said.?
小題1:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage??
A．Janice Hamilton Helps Save Neighbors?
B．Firefighters Put out House Fire?
C．A Dog Saves the Whole Family from House Fire?
D．Family Needs Help Due to House Fire

A．other neighbors?B．Hamilton’s family members?
C．Vega and her brother Garcia?D．the firefighters
小題3:By saying “I’d say it’s unlikely they will recover this, but I’ve been surprised before.” in the
last paragraph, Clyatt means _______.?
A．it’s a wonder that Seals survived the fire?B．the house was badly damaged?
C．such a big fire was seldom seen?D．Chato is a very clever dog
小題4:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned??

Several years ago， a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker， another owned one of the largest companies in the world， and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important？” the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said， “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that？” she asked.
The man shook his head， “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You‘d only be important if while you were visiting the President， there was a telephone call from the president of another country， and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so？”
“No， I don‘t，” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
“Then what would make the visitor important？” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh， I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang， and the President picked up the receiver， listened and then said， ‘It’s for you.‘ ”
小題1: There are _______ in this passage.
A．two men and two womenB．three men and one woman
C．three women and one manD．four women
小題2: The banker thought _______.
A．he was really important because he was a rich banker

A．she was really important because she owned one of the largest companies
B．the banker was really important
C．the owner of many buildings in the center of New York was really important

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set foals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set---and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.
小題1:.
The article is written to throw light on ______.
A．the importance of setting goalsB．the way of setting goals
C．the winners of competitionsD．the goals in life
小題2:.
The example of two drivers is adopted in order to ______.
A．compare the difference of goalsB．explain the traffic rules
C．help readers understand the importance of goalsD．tell the function of a map
小題3:.
The main idea of the fourth paragraph is that ______.
A．it’s better to write a goal downB．written goals can’t be forgotten easily
C．try to make yourself aware of your goalsD．written goals can be reviewed regularly

When I was nine years old I lived in a small town. I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back of a children’s magazine. I thought to myself I could do this. I begged my mother to let me send for the kit (配件). Two weeks later the kit arrived. The next three hours later, I returned home with no card and a pocket full of money shouting, “Mama, all the people couldn’t wait to buy my cards!” A salesperson was born.
When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Ziegler. I remember sitting in the dark hall listening to Mr. Ziegler raise everyone’s spirits up to ceiling. I left there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to make people feel like that.” My father asked me what I meant. “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Ziegler,” I replied. A dream was born.
Recently, I began pursuing（追求） my dream of motivating others. I realized that everything I had accomplished — the graduate degree, the successful sales career, speaking appointments, training and managing for a major fortune 100 company as a senior manager— had prepared me for this moment. I told my boss who was a great leader I would leave the company though I might not reach such a height in career. He told me to proceed（進(jìn)行） and he believed I would succeed.
Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job. We had recently bought a new home and needed both incomes to make the monthly mortgage (抵押) payment and now we were done to no income. I even planned to turn back to my former company, knowing they wanted me to stay but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward rather than end up with a mouth full of “if onlys” later on. A motivational speaker was born.
When I held fast to my dream, even during the tough times, the miracles（奇跡） really began to happen. In a short time period my husband found a better job. We didn’t miss a mortgage payment. And I was able to book several speaking appointments with new clients (客戶). I discovered the incredible power of dreams. I loved my old job, my workmates and the company I left, but it was time to get on with my dream. To celebrate my success I had a local artist paint my new office as a garden. At the top of one wall she marked, “The world always makes way for the dreamer.”
小題1:Why was the kit sent for?
A．Selling greeting cards.B．Collecting greeting cards.
C．Buying greeting cards.D．Sending greeting cards.
小題2:When did the author decide to become a motivational speaker?
A．After buying a new home by mortgage.
B．After giving notice to leave her safe position in the company.
C．After finding a job in a major fortune 100 company.
D．After listening to Mr. Ziegler’s inspiring speech.
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A．She was once an excellent manager.
B．She left her post at the height of her career.
C．She was not sure whether the former company could accept her.
D．She didn’t miss paying the monthly mortgage payment.
小題4:What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?
A．Carry on with your dreams and you will be successful.
B．Risk everything you have for a dream and you will succeed.
C．The world belongs to dreamers.
D．Everyone will find their dreams.
