     Most people have heard the sound of bees among flowers. Bees live almost everywhere in the world
except in the Arctic areas.
     Many kinds of agriculture depend on these small, social insects. Without bees, fruit and nut growers as
well as many other farmers would not have a crop.
     There are more than 20,000 kinds of bees. But only honey bees make enough honey for people to use.
Honeybees are highly-organized social insects. They work together in a group, called a colony (群體). Each
colony lives in a hive (蜂房). It contains one queen bee -- she lays all the eggs from which the members of
the colony come. Each colony has only a few hundred males, called drones. The majority of all bees in a
colony are workers, which are all females.
     Bees even have a special stomach, called a honey stomach, which is used to store sweet fluid that the bees
gather from flowers. Bees also have long hairs on their body and legs. These hairs capture pollen (花粉) as
bees go from flower to flower. Some of the pollen is taken back to the hive. Some, however, is passed to the
next flower. This is how many plants are fertilized. Pollen is the reproductive material of plants. Many
important agricultural crops depend on bees for fertilization.
     Inside their hives, bees store sweet liquid from flowers and pollen as well. They may even gather sweet
liquid from some other kinds of insects. These kinds of sweet liquid are also stored in the hive.
     Bees make honey through a process. They add liquid from their own mouths to sweet liquid into simple
sugar. As the honey is stored, it dries. It becomes thicker and darker.
      Although bees are often thought of as honey makers, they provide a surprising number of products. Also,
their greatest economic value is in fertilizing crops-not in making honey.
1.The passage is mainly about _____.
A. bees and their colony
B. the way for bees to pass pollen
C. bees and agriculture
D. the process for bees to make honey
2.Honeybees are social insects because _____.
A. they work in groups
B. there is queen bee in every colony
C. they live in a hive
D. each of them does the same job
3.The most valuable thing honeybees do for people is in _____.
A. making honey
B. fertilizing crops
C. making flowers grow better
D. producing pollen
4.The word "fertilize" in the sentence "This is how many plants are fertilized. " probably means " _____".

A. to make plants strong and productive
B. to make soil rich for plants
C. to start the development of young flowers
D. to introduce pollen into plants

     Honesty may well be the policy, but it often deserts us when no one is watching, psychologists report
today. Experiments with an honesty box to collect payments for hot drinks show that people are better at
paying up when under the gaze (注視) of a pair of eyes. The surprise was that the eyes were not real, but
photographed.
      Researchers at Newcastle University set up the experiment in secret. They attached a poster to a cupboard
of mugs above an-honesty box alongside a kettle with tea, coffee and milk. Over 10 weeks, they alternated
each week between images of eyes and pictures of flowers.
      Dr. Bateson, a behavioral biologist and leader of the study, said that even though the eyes were not real
they still seemed to make people behave more honestly. They effect may arise from behavioral characteristics
that developed as early humans formed social groups that increased their chances of survival. Individuals had
to co-operate for the good of the group, rather than act selfishly.
     "If nobody is watching us it is in our interests to behave selfishly. But when we think we're being watched
we should behave better, so people see us as co-operative and behave the same way towards us," Dr. Bateson
said. 
     "We thought we'd get a slight effect with eyes, but it was quite striking how much difference they made.
Even at a subconscious level, it seems people respond to eyes, and that might be because eyes send a strong
biological signal we have evolved to respond to."
     The finding, which researchers believe sheds light on our evolutionary past, could be turned to practical use. The psychologists say images of eyes could promote ticket sales on public transport and improve monitor systems to prevent antisocial behavior.
1. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. the policy of honesty
B. an honesty box to collect money
C. evolution on honesty
D. an experiment on honesty
2. The reason for doing the experiment secretly is that the researchers ______.
A. wanted to get a comparatively more exact result
B. had known they wanted to do something illegally
C. meant to get the co-operation of their colleagues
D. intended to sell the hot drinks at a higher price
3. People behave honestly under watchful gaze of eyes because ______.
A. they want to leave a good impression
B. they fear to be laughed at by others
C. they've got the nature through evolution
D. they take the photo for a real pair of eyes
4. The underlined phrase " sheds light on" in the last paragraph means _____.
A. causes somebody to become cheerful
B. makes something easier to understand
C. comes upon something by accident
D. brings something into the broad daylight

                                                                      The House Fairy

like it clean. Love, the House Fairy."   8   arriving back, the children were   9   excited to receive the little note
from the House Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from
the House Fairy  10   for them, thanking them for their nice "gift" of a clean room and   11   asking them to play a certain violin   12   . Each day, thank--you notes would be worded differently to keep the ideas   13  .

 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans
could be posted.

     Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they
are used. If fire didn't hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away.
Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn't, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not
warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier-and some do exist-is
not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are
therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.
     In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go
out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are
letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as
your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.
     In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a
car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.
     In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For
example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in
a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and
decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you
have to try to overcome it.
1. Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if ______.
A. they were not well educated at school
B. they had never played with fire before
C. they had no sense of pain
D. they were fearful of pain
2. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because ______.
A. they have gained experience
B. they are warned of the danger and take quick action
C. they jump out of the way in time
D. they are calm in face of danger
3. What is implied but not stated in the passage?
A. Too much fear is harmful
B. Fear is always something helpful
C. Fear is something that can be avoided
D. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life
4. The best title for this passage should be _______.
A. No Pains, No Gains
B. Pain and Actions
C. The Value of Fear
D. The Reason Why People Fear

                                            A letter to Edward, a columnist (報刊專欄作家)
     Dear Mr Expert:
     I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home. I always Promised myself that I'd get out as soon as
possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I'm really proud of the independence
I've achieved.
     Here's the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like
mine-so much so that they make mine theirs.
     It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it
for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and
stay out forever.
     I enjoy having my friends here sometimes-it makes the place feel comfortable and warm-but this is
my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can't I seem to ask my
friends to respect my privacy (隱私)?
                                                Joan Edward's reply to Joan
     Dear Joan:
     If your family didn't pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble
letting others know your needs now.
     And if you've gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere (氣氛), you may
fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with-or destroy the nice atmosphere
you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it's okay to put your own needs first from
time to time.
     Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, "I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over."
1. We can learn from the first letter that Joan Edward _____.
A. lives away from her parents
B. takes pride in her friends
C. knows Mr Expert quite well
D. hates her parents very much
2. We can infer from the first letter that _____.
A. Joan considers her friends more important than her privacy
B. Joan's friends visit her more often than she can accept
C. Joan doesn't like the parties at all
D. Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over
3. According to Mr Expert, why can't Joan tell her friends her feelings?
A. She is afraid of hurting her friends.
B. She does not understand true friendship.
C. Her family experience stops her from doing so.
D. She does not put her needs first.
4. The underlined word "conflict" in the second letter means _____.
A. dependent life
B. fierce fight
C. bad manners
D. painful feeling
5. The second letter suggests that Mr Expert _____.
A. is worried about Joan's problem
B. warns Joan not to quarrel with her friends
C. advises Joan on how to refuse people
D. encourages Joan to be brave enough

     My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn't know who I should talk
with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house.
Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents' situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the
house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood.
Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.
      I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would
be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was
restored. He was quite happy and said, "Great opportunity."
      "What is?" I asked.
     "To talk, you and I," he said. "To hold a private little meeting about what we're going to do with your
mom and dad, and what we're going to do with ourselves now that we're in the situation we are in."
     "But we can't do anything about it, Grandpa," I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could
share my feelings and someone who was in the same "boat" as I was .
     And that's how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting there in
the dark, we talked about our feeling and fears of life---from how fast things change, to how they sometimes
don't change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could
safely talked about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.
      Suddenly, the lights all came back on. "Well," he said, " I guess that means you'll want to go now. I really
like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!"
1. I wished to get out of the house because _______.
A. I was angry about my parents' quarrel
B. I found nobody to share my feelings with
C. I wanted to escape from the dark house
D. I planned to tell my friend about my trouble
2. Grandpa was happy to see me because _______.
A. he could discuss the problem with me
B. he had not seem me for a long time

     When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But
there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people
are willing to risk (冒…危險) being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of
watching the storm close up.
      "Storm chasing (追逐) " is becoming an increasingly popular hobby (喜好), especially in the Midwest
of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the
day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where
the storm will be and wits for it to develop.
     Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw
a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused
by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations
during the storm season.
     Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. "Storm chasing is 95% driving," says Daniel
Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. "Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for
something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers."
    However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. "When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight
you will ever see in your life," says Jasper Morley."Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is
the greatest show on Earth."
1. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to _____.
A. head straight for the center of the storm
B. get into the car for safety
C. wait patiently for the storm to develop
D. collect information about a coming storm
2. Beginners of storm chasing are advised _____.
A. not to drive in a heavy rain
B. to do it in an organized way
C. not to get too close to a storm
D. to spend more time on it in summer
3. By saying "it is all worth it" in the last paragraph, the author means that _____.
A. storm chasing costs a lot of money
B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid
D. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth
4. What can we learn from the text?
A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment
B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.
C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world/
D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.

     Childhood was an illusion (錯覺) and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, Imean everything,
not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially journeys which
seemed endless."Are we there yet, Daddy?"
     Funfairs (游樂場) were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting
danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up yourself was an
unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain unbearable.
     As I've grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have bulled. Surprises have lurned into shocks. Days
go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion?
     I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger
world. I can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh and laugh with them, sometimes
helplessly like a child, and then, even though I'm a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost catch the colors and
sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little.
1. How does the author feel about his childhood?
A. It was endless.
B. It was unpleasant.
C. He is glad that it is over.

A. children could not make proper judgments
B. children were curious and eager about life
C. things appeared really big in children's eyes
D. to grow up seemed so long for children

     Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had
been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as
though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite "Why, thank you," but you
knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good
and had) reflect about your personal qualities?
     Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy-the ability to put yourself into someone
else's head and heart. We're all able to do this; in fact, we're born with a kind of natural empathy. After the
earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加強(qiáng))-by our parents, teachers, friends.
When it isn't, we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we
select, and so can many other emotional (情感的) qualities.
     Think back to the presents you've given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection,
how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping,and your feelings when the receiver opened
the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. Of course, you may express
yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.
      We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the
tradition won't make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends abead of time.
1. The underlined expression "you had missed the mark"means "you had failed to _____".
