Just two years before her 100^th birthday, Sensei Keiko Fukuda has become the first woman to achieve a tenth-degree black belt --- the highest rank in the martial art and combat sport judo(柔道). Fukuda is now one of only four living people who’ve earned the tenth-degree (or dan) black belt. Throughout history, only sixteen people have ever achieved this honor.
Fukuda began practicing judo in 1935 and is the only surviving student of its founder, Kano Jiguro. Urged by her teacher, she learned English to help spread judo internationally.
During a time when getting married, building a family, and becoming a housewife was the standard, Fukuda went against tradition, opting out of marriage to pursue the martial art.
“All I did was judo ... this was my marriage,” Fukuda reflected tearfully to the San Francisco Chronicle. “This is when my life destiny was set. I just never imagined how long this road would be.”
She described the Jiguro’s school, known as the Kodokan, as “old-fashioned and sexist(性別歧視的) about belts and ranks”. In fact, an order that prevented women from achieving any higher than a fifth-degree black belt kept Fukuda at that level for thirty years. She was finally promoted to sixth dan in 1972 when a woman’s division was created.
Fukuda said she approached judo and her life with the intention to “be gentle, kind and beautiful, yet firm and strong, both mentally and physically”. Fukuda said this kind of beauty is decidedly not external (外部的). “ A kind soul is inner beauty,” she explained to the paper. “I believe this is true beauty … All my life this has been my dream.”
Dream realized, the 98-year-old Sensei Keiko Fukuda continues to teach judo three times a week at a woman’s judo.
小題1:It can be learned from the passage that ____________.

A．Fukuda achieved the tenth-degree black belt at 97.

B．four people earned the tenth-degree black belt in history.

C．nearly all of Kano Jiguro’s students were dead.

D．the Kodokan was founded in 1935.

小題2:The underlined part “opting out of” in the 3^rd paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.

A．choosing or welcoming	B．longing for or desiring
C．keeping out of or avoiding	D．missing or having no chance of

小題3:Why did Fukuda remain at fifth-degree black belt for so long a time?

A．It was hard for her to improve her level.

B．She suffered from a foolish rule.

C．Her family life took up too much of her time.

D．She didn’t want to improve her level.

小題4:Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

A．The only surviving student of Kano Jiguro remains single.

B．The tenth-degree black belt is the highest rank in judo.

C．Sensei Keiko Fukuda spreads judo throughout the world.

D．98-year-old woman becomes the first woman ever to earn judo’s highest-degree black belt.

I was fifteen when I walked into Black Stump Bookstore in Liverpool. As I was looking at      on the shelves, the shop owner asked if I’d like     . I needed to start     for college, so I said yes. I worked after school and during summers for the lowest wages, and the job helped      my first year of college. I had worked in many other jobs: I made coffee in the Students’ Union during college, I was a hotel maid and I     make maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most     .
One day a woman asked me for books on women’s diseases. She seemed fearful. I showed her almost everything we had at that time     and found other books we could order. She left the store less     . I’ve always remembered the      felt in having helped her.
Years later, as a     in London, I heard about a black child born      his fingers connected. His family could not      a corrective operation, and the boy lived in     hiding his hand in pocket. I     my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the     for free. I visited the boy in the     room soon after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his      hand and say “ Thank you.” I felt a sense of    .
In the past     I was at Black Stump Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not the store. Today, it’s the same. BBC News pays my     , but I feel as if I work for the viewers, helping them understand the world.

I am a mom of two young children whom we home-school. This       that they are with me almost constantly. Whenever possible I will       random acts of kindness;       things like paying for the order behind me in the drive-thru lane, holding doors, etc. So, they are very       with the concept and are, of course,       to also do "nice" things for others.
Just a few days ago we stopped       our local grocery store to pick up a few things which quickly turned into an entire cart load of stuff. We got into one of the two open checkout lanes and waited our      . While waiting a young man came up behind us with only a few       in his basket. I told him to go ahead of us as we were in no      . 
He seemed very pleasantly surprised and graciously      . As he began putting his items on the belt the clerk began to       her till tape so we had a fairly long wait in line. My kids were very      behaved but they were still children; they asked questions, they talked      , they moved around and they were generally very entertaining. (To me, anyway.) 
I could see the young man watching and listening with a smile on his face.  
We were putting our groceries on the       when the clerk finished with       order. What I didn't know was that he had heard my kids       bubble gum. I had agreed they could have some.      , he picked up a pack of bubble-gum and asked the clerk to ring it through twice before putting it back. He then told my kids that he bought their gum       their mom was       enough to let him go ahead in the queue.
The experience really drove home the       that good begets(產(chǎn)生，引起) good for my lovely little kiddos（親呢的稱呼：小伙子）.

I firmly believe in the power of forgiveness and I have got a lot of pleasure from it.
Last year, I was       at the traffic lights on my way to work when my car was hit from behind. After     , a flustered (驚慌失措的) young man admitted it was his       and apologized  to me again and again. After that, he       why he had not been “in the moment” while driving. He told me that his       had just run out and promised to pay for the damage to my car later. I could       his real stress, and as he gave me his details and promised to find a way to pay, I tried to      him and told him not to worry too much.
When I got to work, my      urged me to contact my insurance（保險(xiǎn)） company and chase the young man for compensatory（賠款） payment immediately，as I wasn’t        with him and knew nothing about his work or family. The same thing happened when I told my sister what had happened and she firmly told me not to let him get away        it. She knew that I only had a small amount of money in the bank and was      that I would not chase the young man for payment.
With everyone pressuring me to ask for payment, I was unsure about what to do. I finally decided to      a small second-hand car. After about four months, it was coming up to Christmas and I started to think about how        this young man might be feeling, waiting for me to “sting ” him, so I finally made a        and sent him this note:
“ Hi Joe,
A few months ago you        the back of my car. I have managed to pick        another car, so I have been able to get around. I want to let you know that I am not going to     _  any payment from you. If in future you could help       else out, that would be great.”
After sending it, I felt that a great weight had finally been lifted from my shoulders. It wasn’t until then that I _   _the act of      _ could make one feel happier.

The frightening thing is he still hasn’t finished—shire horses aren’t fully grown until they’re about six or seven .”
Jane has said that Noddy could be sold overseas , possibly even fetching a record price to match his height . She is unwilling to sell , but to fund the high cost of keeping him she needs to put him to work . “ He needs a job . It’s very hard to find jobs for such a big horse in Australia .

Adrian’s “Amazing Race” started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn’t hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearing-impaired (聽覺受損的)，he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.
Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular school couldn’t take care of a special needs students.

He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06--- being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.
