My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always    21   of my success. If I    22   a spelling contest at school, he was on top of the   23  . Later in life whenever I got a promotion, I’d call my father    24   and he’d rush out to tell all his    25  . In 1970, when I was    26   as president of the Ford Motor Company, I don’t know    27   of us was more excited.
Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their    28   and their love not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would    2 9   hug their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every    30  —nothing could have felt more    31  .
He was a(n)    32   man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle.    33  , my father and his motorcycle didn’t    34  too well. He fell off it so often that he   35   it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again    36   any vehicle with less than four wheels.
Because of that motorcycle, I wasn’t    37   to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to   38   one from a friend. However, my father let me drive a car as soon as I    39   sixteen.
My father and I loved and   40   each other. We were close to each other all the time.

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(推進(jìn)，敦促)  by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation (形成) of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them..
There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness(周詳).
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons form habits which ought to have been avoided.
We ought to keep from all these old habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.
小題1:Habits, whether good or bad, are formed_______, _______ everyone knows.
A．day by day; and
B．gradually; as
C．gradually; that
D．century after century; as
小題2:Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?
A．Because habits are of great help to every one of us.
B．Because a man can never get rid of a habit.
C．It is because we are forced to do them again and again.
D．It is because it’s hard and even not possible to smooth them away
小題3:The bad habits formed by __________
A．children sometimes stay in all their lives
B．older people sometimes can kill them
C．persons sometimes can remain with them
D．younger people sometimes can break them

When I was born, my parents immediately noticed something wrong. My feet were deformed (畸形的), pointing inward and curling under. I wore casts (石膏) and foot braces (支架) in my first two years to correct the problem. Yet I learned to balance and walk in casts. Soon after the last set of casts came off，Mom enrolled me in dance classes as therapy for my feet. I, however，quickly decided to try something else. Not far from my house was an ice rink (溜冰場) in the mall. There，local skaters would perform ice shows. I wanted to try skating.
I started taking group skating lessons. Performing on ice came naturally. For me，skating has never been about beating others. It’s been about being my personal best. I progressed through various levels rapidly and gave my first ice performance at age seven. Soon I started winning local and regional competitions. That’s because being on the ice has always been the one place I can truly express my emotions. The ice is like home.
I began seriously training when I was nine years old. After graduating from girls’ high school，I moved to Canada. Saying goodbye to my family and friends made me homesick，but I knew deep down that I had to leave and train full－time to give my dreams a chance at reality.
I went to compete in the Olympic Games in 1992.I was the first of the final six skaters on the ice. My long performance started well，but I slipped while landing one of my easiest triple jumps，and my hand touched the ice. I didn’t want to make two mistakes in a row，so next I did a jump with just two spins to play it safe. As I neared the end，I had one more jump. I landed it perfectly.
When medals were awarded，I found myself on the top step，the gold hanging around my neck and America’s national anthem playing. Words can’t describe the overwhelming mixture of emotions I felt.
小題1:The author was enrolled in dance classes to________.
A．meet her interest
B．improve her dancing skills
C．help treat her feet
D．prepare her for skating
小題2:When the author says “The ice is like home”，she really means she________.
A．can express herself through her performance on ice
B．can beat others in local and regional competitions
C．can overcome her difficulty in walking
D．has realized her dream to perform on ice
小題3:The author moved to Canada after graduating from girls’ high school because________.
A．she could get better treatment of her feet there
B．she would do full－time training there
C．that was where the Olympics would hold
D．she wanted to have further study there
小題4:What do we learn about the author’s performance in the 1992 Olympic Games?
A．She completed it without any mistake.
B．She made one mistake on the final landing.
C．She did it quite well except for one mistake.
D．She made more than one mistake.
小題5:By her own experience，the author intends to tell us________.
A．we can realize our dream if we have the courage to pursue it
B．even the disabled can take part in the Olympic Games
C．sports can help people heal both body and mind
D．sports events are not about winning only

If you want your land to keep fertile, you must try to stop soil from being carried away by water or wind. When soil is taken away by flowing water or blowing winds we call it soil erosion. Ways have been found to stop soil erosion, and this is known as soil conservation. One way of stopping soil erosion is to grow small plants such as grass. These plants are referred to a cover crops, whose roots hold the soil tightly together. The rain water can not wash away the soil. When trees and tall bushes are planted at the edges of an open field, soil erosion by strong winds can not take place. The trees and bushes, which act as a very big and firm wall, protect the open land from the winds. The way to stoop soil erosion on slopes is to build terraces on the slope of hillside and mountainside. When the slope of a hillside is cut into “step”, water carrying soil can not run straight down the terraces, which are used to slow down the speed of the flowing water containing much soil in it. In this way most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces, much soil in it.
小題1:What takes place in soil erosion?
A．Flood happens to the fertile land
B．A large quantity of the soil loses away gradually.
C．Terraces are built on the slope of hillside or mountainside.
D．Plants are grown to protect the open land
小題2:“Cover crops” in this passage means _________.?
A. grass        B. trees and bushes     C. plants life and an area
E.   covering plants that produce grain or vegetables
小題3:Besides growing small plants, another method to fight against soil erosion is to ___________.
A．build terracesB．build wallsC．plant treesD．plant tall bushes
小題4:According to the passage, trees and tall bushes are planted around an open field ________________.
A．because their roots hold soil tightly
B．to stop soil from being blown away by winds.
C．Because soil erosion causes terrible damages to crops
D．To keep the balance of nature
小題5:Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．What Causes Soil Erosion
B．The Importance of Erosion
C．Rain Erosion and Wind Erosion
D．Erosion and the Way of Tight against Erosion

       It takes courage to stand up at work．Now more and more people are standing up when they are working on something important．Standing up is in fashion．Medical researchers have found that people who stand at work tend to be much healthier than those who sit．But I wasn't just looking for better health — standing would also improve how I work and relax my body．
In recent years, many office supply companies have begun to sell adjustable desks．These so-called "sit / stand" models are equipped with an electric motor that lets them shift from chair height to person height at the push of a button．Unfortunately, sit / stand desks tend to be expensive, hard to find and not very easy to test in person．
I discovered that when I worked standing up, my mind was clearer and new ideas kept coming to me．I suspect that this is because when you're standing, you feel a bit unchained from your desk．If I got stuck on a word or sentence as I wrote it, I found myself shaking my arms, bouncing （跳） on my feet or stepping away from the desk for a bit — things I couldn't do in a chair．Often, standing up seemed to relax my mind enough for me to get over creative barriers．
There's another thing about standing for a long time: I tend to get hungrier than I do when I sit on a chair．That feels like confirmation（證實(shí)） of the stand-up advocates’ belief that you burn more calories when you stand than when you sit．For this reason alone, I' m hoping that one day mass-market furniture companies can make many low-priced versions of sit / stand desks．We could all work with a bit more standing up．
小題1:The author likes standing up while working because __________．
A．he wants to show that he has a lot of courage
B．researchers say standing makes one healthier
C．he intends to catch up the fashion trend
D．he hopes to improve his work and relax himself
小題2:It can be inferred from the text that   ________．
A．a(chǎn)djustable desks are mass-produced now
B．a(chǎn)djustable desks are easy to operate
C．cheaper adjustable desks will soon be available
D．a(chǎn)djustable desks can be tried out easily
小題3:What is the main idea of the text?
A．Standing up at work is a better choice．
B．Standing up at work takes courage．
C．Standing up at work burns more calories．
D．Standing up at work will replace traditional sitting．

Allan goes everywhere with Birgitta Anderson, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. ‘Most people don't seem to mind Allan,’ says Birgitta, who thinks he is wonderful. 'He's my fourth child,' she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allan is a dog. Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides （提供）a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money. People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance （保險(xiǎn)）for their dog. In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage （損壞）their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
小題1: Birgitta pays taxes for Allan because         .
A．he is her dogB．he is her childC．he follows her everywhereD．he often falls ill
小題2:The money paid as dog taxes is used to           .
A．keep a high level of care for the peopleB．pay for damage done by dogs
C．provide medical care for dogsD．buy insurance for dog owners
小題3: If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed, who should pay for the damage done to the car?
A．The owner of the car.B．The owner of the dog.
C．The insurance company（公司）.D．The government.
小題4:From the text it can be inferred that in Sweden          .
A．dogs are welcome in public placesB．keeping dogs means asking for trouble
C．many car accidents are caused by dogsD．people care much about dogs
