Brenda Linson never goes anywhere without an empty spectacles case. It is as vital to her as her purse. Yet, she doesn’t wear glasses. The reason she cannot do without it is that she cannot read and she cannot write. If ever she gets into any situation where she might be expected to do either of these things, she fishes around in her bag for the spectacles case, finds it’s empty, and asks the person concerned to do the reading for her. Until a few months ago hardly anybody knew about her problem. Her husband didn’t know and her children didn’t know. The children still don’t.
She had many tactics for hiding her difficult—for example, never lingering near a phone at work, in case she had to answer it and might be required to write something down.
It has never occurred to the children that their mother cannot read. She doesn’t read them stories, but then their father doesn’t either, so they find nothing surprising in the fact. Similarly they just accept that Dad is the one who writes the sick notes and reads the school reports. Now that the elder boy Tom is quite a proficient reader, Brenda can skillfully get him to read any notes brought home from school simply by asking,“What’s that all about, then?”
Brenda’s husband never guessed the truth in ten years of marriage. For one thing, he insists on handling all domestic correspondence and bills himself. A salesman for a large company, he travels a great deal and so is not around so much to spot the truth. While he’s away Brenda cores with any situations by explaining that she cannot do anything until she’s discussed it with her husband.
Brenda was very successful in her job until recently. For the last five years she had worked as waitress at an expensive restaurant, and had eventually been promoted to head waitress. She kept the thing a secret there too, and got over the practical difficulties somehow.
1. Brenda’s children have never found out about her problem as__________.
A. she isn’t often at home.
B. they are too young to guess the truth.
C. they find it normal to ask their father for everything.
D. they think it natural that short-sighted people like their mother don’t do much reading or writing.
2.What most probably made Brenda try hard to hide her difficulty?
A. Her desire to be successful in her job.
B. Her fear of losing face.
C. Her deceitful nature.
D. Both A and B.
3.Of the following suggested titles, which is the most appropriate?
A. Brenda and Her Family
B. A Woman Who Doesn’t Wear Glasses
C. A Woman with an Empty Spectacles Case
D. The Miserable Life of a Waitress

One day when I was driving on the freeway, I noticed all the way there were large dividing walls, which had been built between it and the road running parallel to it, for noise reduction (減少) and a sense of separation. The purpose was to create a sense of privacy (隱私) for people on the other side.
This got me thinking: How often do we put up mental barriers that keep us distant from others? Lifting the artificial barriers that keep us apart can offer opportunities to express our goodwill and create better relationships. If we can do like this, maybe our life will be a little different.
There is a little post office in a nearby town, and since it is closer to me than the post office in my own town, I go there. One day, with many people jammed into the little building, a man came hurrying in to mail a letter, and the girl at the counter saw he had too little postage on it. She told him he needed 2 more cents. Obviously he was a little at a loss. He had hurried over from his office, and didn’t have any money on him or time to stand in line. He was going to run back to get the needed money and wait in line again, but he hurried to get the letter mailed in the first place.
As we were watching him, one woman volunteered a two-cent stamp, and the whole line became very quiet. It was a beautiful moment. The man hesitated for a little while and asked her if she was sure, and she assured him she was fine with giving him the stamp. He offered to go back to his office to get the two cents, and she told him not to bother.
It was a small thing, but it meant something to both of the people involved, and to the rest of us. We aren’t a yard that needs defining or a freeway that needs barriers. We are human beings who can contribute to each other’s wellbeing by taking time to pay attention and interact. After all, we are all parts of a whole living in society.
1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to __________.
A. summarize the main idea
B. give detailed information
C. tell readers the author’s opinion
D. introduce the topic
2.What happened after the man being told he needed two more cents?
A. The man went back to his office immediately.
B. The man turned to a lady for help.
C. A woman offered a stamp to the man.
D. The man waited in line patiently.
3.What can we learn about the author?
A. She pays too much attention to privacy.
B. She believes people should participate in the world around them.
C. She confuses real barriers with false ones.
D. She insists all small things always have the greatest meaning.
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Artificial Barriers B. Unnecessary Separation
C. An Unforgettable Experience D. The Kindness of People

Findings from a new study were presented at a recent meeting of the American Psychosomatic(身心的) Society. Researchers in the United States studied 100,000 women during an eight-year period, beginning in 1994. All of the women were fifty or older. The study was part of the Women’s Health Initiative organized by the National Institutes of Health.
The women were asked questions measuring their beliefs or ideas about the future. The researchers attempted to identify each woman’s personality eight years after gathering the information.
The study found that hopeful individuals were 14% less likely than other women to have died from any cause. The hopeful women were also 30% less likely to have died from heart disease after the eight years.
Hilary Tindle from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania was the lead author of the report. She said the study confirmed earlier research that linked optimistic feelings to longer life.
The researchers also gathered information about people’s education, financial earnings, physical activity and use of alcohol or cigarettes. Independent of those things, the findings still showed that optimists had less of a chance of dying during the eight-year period.
Some women who answered the questions were found to be hostile (懷敵意的), or highly untrusting of others. These women were 16% more likely to die than the others. They also were 23% more likely to die of cancer.
The study also found women who were not optimistic were more likely to smoke and have high blood pressure or diabetes. They were also more likely not to exercise.
Tindle says the study did not confirm whether optimism leads to healthier choices, or if it actually affects a person’s physical health. She also says the study does not prove that negative (消極的) emotions or distrust lead to bad health effects and shorter life. Yet there does appear to be a link that calls for more research.
1. In which part of a newspaper can you read the above passage?
A. Nation B. Opinion C. Science D. Business
2.Researchers carry out the study to ________.
A. decide who is more likely to enjoy a happier life
B. find out the link between personality and health
C. gather information for the National Institutes of Health
D. compare each woman’s personality changes
3.What can be inferred from the text?
A. Negative emotions cause a shorter life indeed.
B. There may be some link between personality and health.
C. It’s uncertain whether optimism affects one’s health.
D. The more optimistic you are, the longer life you may enjoy.
4.Who is more likely to die of cancer according to the text?
A. A woman who always doubts what others say. B. A woman who doesn’t exercise.
C. A woman with high blood pressure. D. A woman with poor physical health.
5. What’s Hilary Tindle’s opinion of the study?
A. Unfair. B. Useless. C. Necessary. D. Reliable.
