When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes (通行證) posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers.
It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (裝飾物) shining against the green of a pine.
“Where did it come from？” I asked.
“I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, but when you called--- oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon…”
The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Krystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly (難看地) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with pleasant smell of Christmas.
“It’s not like the ones you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look. But I couldn’t be picky.”
“Don’t worry, ” I told her. “It’s perfect.”
It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.
【小題1】 When the writer got home, ________.

A．it was December 23
B．it was snowing heavily
C．he found a Christmas tree in the living room
D．the Gates boy was cutting a Christmas tree for his mother

A．the writer used to cut very beautiful Christmas trees
B．his mother didn’t like perfect trees
C．his mother didn’t want to have a tree
D．the writer wouldn’t have a tree cut by someone else
【小題3】“All Christmas trees are perfect”, because they can remind you of ________.
A．the wartimeB．the green of a pine
C．the pleasant smellD．the sweet home
【小題4】 The best title for this passage would be “________”.
A．How to Choose a Christmas Tree
B．How Soldiers Spent Christmas

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago. Her husband died because of traffic accident. About a week after his death, she shared some of her insights with us.

I often think of that teacher and try to appreciate all off those things that sometimes we *overlook.
Take notice of something special you see on your lunch time today. Walk *barefoot along the beach at *sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we regret, but the things we didn’t do.

Everything that humans hear is in the form of waves(波). Just as the eye sees light waves in the form of colors, the ear hears sound waves in the form of noises. The ear and the eye turn these different waves into signals that the brain(大腦) can make sense of.
The ears and brain have an amazing ability to recognize(識(shí)別) particular sounds. For example, a mother often can tell when her baby is crying even if there are other crying babies in the same room. This is because the sound of her baby’s cry has special meaning to her and the brain has recorded its importance.
The ability to recognize sounds improves with experiences. As the brain receives information about sounds from day to day, it stores the information in its memory. When the brain hears new sounds, it gives meaning to them based on the information already in the memory. This is why certain words or songs can make a person happy. Often it is not the words or songs themselves that cause this feeling. The sounds are connected to happy memories for that person.
Another hearing process controlled by the brain is to decide where a sound is coming from. One ear is usually closer to the source(來源) of a sound than the other ear is. Sound waves are stronger when they reach the ear that is closer. They also reach the closer ear first. The brain recognizes these differences and uses them to decide the location of the source of the sound.
【小題1】Which of the following shows the normal hearing process of a mother hearing her baby crying?
a. The ears receive the sound waves.
b. The mother recognizes her baby’s cry.
c. The baby’s turn the sound waves into signals.
d. The baby’s cry travels in the form of sound waves.
e. The brain connects the signals to the information in the memory.

A．d-a-c-b-e B．d-a-c-e-b
C．a(chǎn)-d-c-b-e D．a(chǎn)-d-c-e-b
【小題2】Certain words or songs can change a person’s moods mainly because of his _____.
A．lifestyle B．personality
C．experiences D．hobbies
【小題3】 Why does a person feel happy when they hear some songs?
A．Because certain words or songs can make a person happy.
B．Because a person has the ability to recognize the sounds
C．Because the certain sounds are connected to happy memories for that person.
D．Because the person feel the song is special
【小題4】According to the last paragraph, it will be the most difficult for a person who has lost the hearing in one ear to tell ______.
A．where the source of a sound is
B．how loud a sound is
C．when a sound starts to appear
D．what makes a sound
【小題5】What is the best title for this passage ?
A．Human Brain’s Amazing Facts

Which country grows the most tea? The answer is India. It grows three times as much as China. Which country drinks the most tea? It’s neither China nor Japan. It’s Great Britain.
In the wild, tea plants may be 30 feet tall. But a plant grown for market is pruned. Pruning keeps the plant only three or four feet tall. This is an easy height for tea picking. Only the two top leaves and bud of each new shoot are picked. So to make money, tea plantations must be huge.
In general, there are two kinds of tea. Black tea and green tea. Black tea is fermented. In the process, the tea loses nearly all of its healthy qualities. Green tea is steamed right after the leaves are picked. Green tea retains its healthy qualities. For example, it may prevent heart disease.
How did we get tea bag? The answer: by accident. Tea merchants used to send samples in tin boxes. This was costly. One merchant thought of a cheaper way. He sent samples in small silk bags. Customers would cut open the bag. They would brew the leaves as usual. One customer put the bag into a pot. Then he just poured hot water over it. And the tea bag was born.
Shen Nong was the first to drink tea. (Shen was a Chinese emperor.) This was about 2737 B.C. Shen had bad digestion. So he drank several cups of hot water daily. One day something happened. Leaves from a wild tea tree fell into the hot water pot. The next cup was poured. The water was now colored. Shen sipped it. He liked it. He drank it all. Shen was proud of his new drink. He served it to his guests. Word spread. People thought this way. Tea is good enough for the Emperor. So it must be good enough for the people. Tea became the drink of China.
【小題1】The best title for this passage should be ________________.

A．Black Tea B．Tea Plant
C．About Tea D．Tea Bag

A Korean(韓國(guó)的) wave is sweeping across China. Many Chinese women think South Korean actors Kim Soo-hyun(金秀賢) and Lee Min-ho(李敏鎬) are their demigods(男神). Chinese people have different ideas about South Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that many people in China are interested in Korean TV dramas. And a big part of the credit(功勞) for that goes to You Who Came From The Star《來自星星的你》, the South Korean TV series which is on the air now.
In You Who Came From The Star ,the top South Korean actors Jun Ji-hyun(全智賢) and Kim Soo-hyun recently earned a popularity rating(收視率) of 24.8 percent in their country.  You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs(繼承者們) have  been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia.
The two TV programs have several common elements(元素): a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves a woman and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programs represent the purity of love. Perhaps that’s the secret of their success; perhaps people still love Cinderella-type(灰姑娘型的) stories.
However, Chinese TV screens are full of poorly made soap operas(肥皂劇). Most of the Chinese TV dramas either describe the War against Japanese or blindly copy foreign programs. There are too many TV series on time travel or fights in the palace of Qing Dynasty (清朝1644-1911). These, in short, do harm to Chinese TV productions.
Hopefully, the success of South Korean TV programs will encourage Chinese TV drama makers to think of new ideas and give up their bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home, and possibly abroad.

【小題1】Who is the main actor in the Korean TV dramas You Who Came From The Star?

A．Jun Ji-hyun B．Kim Soo-hyun 
C．Lee Min-ho D．both A and B 
【小題2】 Why aren’t the Chinese dramas so popular as the Korean TV dramas?
A．The actors are not handsome. 
B．The stories are not interesting. 
C．Therearen’tstories about time travel. 
D．The fights in them are too cruel. 
【小題3】Which is not mentioned（提及，涉及） in the passage?
A．Therating of the Korean dramaThe Heirs. 
B．Many people in China are interested in Korean TV dramas. 
C．Too manyTV series on time traveldo harm toChinese TV productions. 
D．The success willencourageChinese TV drama makers to thinkofnew ideas. 
【小題4】Which is not the common element in Korean TV dramas?
A．A handsome actor B．Two main actors love the same woman 
C．Time travel D．Pure love story 
【小題5】Which is the best title for the passage?

B．The actors in TV dramas

 People believed for a long time that heart was the center of a person’s emotions. That is why the word “heart” is used in so many expressions about emotional situations.
One such expression is to “l(fā)ose your heart” to someone. When that happens, you have fallen in love. But if the person who “won your heart” does not love you, then you are sure to have a “broken heart”. In your pain and sadness, you may decide that the person you love is “hard-hearted”, and in fact, has a “heart of stone”.
You may decide to “pour out your heart” to a friend. Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.
If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to “have a heart”. You are asking your friend to show some sympathy(同情) for your situation. Your friend “has her heart in the right place” if she says she is sorry, and shows great concern(關(guān)心).
If your friend says no to you, do not “l(fā)ose heart”. Be “strong-hearted”. Sit down with him or her and have a “heart to heart” talk. Be open and honest about your situation. Then you may have a “change of heart” Then you could stop worrying and “put your heart at rest”.
