One day I jumped into a taxi and took off for the airport.
We were driving in the right lane   36   suddenly a black car jumped out of a
parking space   37   in front of us. My taxi driver immediately put his foot on the   38  . The taxi slid a short distance quickly and   39   the other car by just inches! The driver of the black car moved his head around and started   40   at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy; and I mean he was   41   friendly, which is truly beyond my expectation.
  42   I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost  43   your car
and sent us to the   44  !” This is when my taxi driver   45   me what I now call “the Law of the Garbage Truck.”
He   46   that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, disappointment, frustration (挫敗感) and   47  . As their garbage   48  , they need a place to dump (丟棄) it and sometimes they’ll dump it on   49  . Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move   50 . Don’t take it   51  . Don’t take their garbage and   52   it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.                                
The   53   line is that successful people don’t let garbage trucks take over their day. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with   54  , so “Love the people who treat you   55  . Pray for the ones who don’t”.

Jerry is a popular manager of a restaurant. It was his attitude  21  made the waiters follow him. He was a natural motivator (鼓舞人心的人). If a(n)  22  was having a bad day, Jerry was always there, telling him/her how to look on the  23  side of the situation.
This attitude really made me  24, so one day I asked him, “I don’t get it! No one can be a positive person  25. How can you manage it?”
“Every time something bad happens, I can choose to  26  it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining and I can 27  the positive side of life. Why don’t we just do that later?” Jerry said.
Jerry told me an unusual story out of his experience. One day he left the back door of his restaurant  28  and was robbed by three men. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from  29 , slipped off the combination (開啟號碼的號碼組合). The robbers got angry and  30 him.
31 , Jerry was found quickly and taken to the hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of care, Jerry  32  with fragments (碎片) of the bullets (子彈) still in his body.
I saw Jerry about six months after the  33 . I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. “Did you lose consciousness? Weren’t you  34 ?” I asked.
“No,” Jerry said, “35  when I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.”
“A nurse asked if I was allergic (過敏的) to anything. ‘Yes’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped  36  as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘37 !’”
“Over the laughter, I told them, ‘Please  38  on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”
Jerry survived  39  the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. Attitude, after all, is  40 .

科目:高中英語 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

There was once an 11-year-old boy who went fishing every time he went to an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.
On the day before bass (巴斯魚) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure (魚餌) and put it into the lake. Suddenly the boy felt something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened.He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
“Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats could be seen in the moon-
light. He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed.He threw the huge bass into the black water.
The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish. That
was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
小題1:.How did the father feel when he saw his son skillfully pulling a big fish out of the water?
A.Delighted.B.Nervous.C.Embarrassed.D.Shocked.
小題2:What happened when it became clear that the big fish was a bass?
A.The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.
B.The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.
C.The father made a decision that the fish must be set free.
D.They worried other fishermen might know what they had done.
小題3:The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because            .
A.they might catch a big fish thereB.he remembered the moral lesson from his father
C.he wanted to remember his father D.their children enjoyed fishing there
小題4:What does the author want to show in the story?
A.It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.
B.An ethical decision is not difficult to make.
C.It is hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.
D.Fishing helps you to make right ethical decisions.

When 7-year-old Warren Buffet said “ I will be the richest man one day”, his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money, selling drinks, delivering newspapers and buying stocks. He had already earned $ 9,000 ( equal to $ 90,000 today) by the time he graduated from high school and became a millionaire at 32.
And this month the 77-year- old, who earned his fortune by making a lot of great investment in the stock market, made his childhood dream come true. With a fortune of $ 62billion, Buffet has risen to be the world’s richest man according to Forbes Magazine.
Born in 1930, Buffet, the only son of a stockbroker, started on achieving his billion-dollar dream at an early age and was always ready to think outside the box to develop his business. At 8 he went to golf courses collecting and selling used balls.
At 11 when he sold soda pop door to door with a friend, the pair collected lids on the streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.
As a paper boy during high school, Buffet delivered two rival (競爭對手的)papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffet bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collect rent.
Young Buffet stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $ 5. The experience taught him one of the virtues (品質) in investing: patience.
After graduating from university, Buffet started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-cola, Buffet has become rich.
“Learning is important to Buffet’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. He keeps learning, from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he finally over achieved his aptitude ( 才能) ,” said Charlie Munger, his long-time business partner.
小題1:Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the selection?
A.What is Buffet’s approach to investing.
B.How do other people view Buffet.
C.How has Buffet handled hardships in his life.
D.How did Buffet make a fortune and realize his dream.
小題2:With the example of delivering two rival papers in high school, the author intends to tell us that Buffet______.
A.had a good sense of business
B.was a good paper boy
C.was hard to deal with business
D.knew anything but how to make money
小題3:. What did Buffet learn from his early experience of investing in stock market?
A.You never stop learning.
B.Be patient in business.
C.Only buy stocks of solid companies that are undervalued and inexpensive.
D.Stick to buying stocks in companies such as American Express and Coca-cola.
小題4:. Which of the following can most probably serve as the title of the selection?
A.Buffet – Good Example for All
B.Buffet- a Newspaper Boy
C.Buffet- Investor in Stock Market
D.Buffet- a Successful Daydreamer

Violin prodigies (神童), I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear,” he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.
Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac Stern, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.
That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance(遺傳) plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.
小題1:     Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because ________.
A.it would allow them access to a better life in the West
B.Jewish children are born with excellent musical talent
C.they wanted their children to enter into the professional field
D.it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country
小題2:     Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that ________.
A.a(chǎn)re highly motivated in the education of music
B.treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full development
C.encourage people to compete with each other
D.promise talented children high positions
小題3:     Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage?
A.a(chǎn) natural gift.B.extensive knowledge of music.
C.very early training.D.a(chǎn) prejudice-free society.
小題4:     Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A.Jewish Contribution to MusicB.Training of Musicians in the World
C.Music and SocietyD.The Making of Music Prodigies

The day was Thankful Thursday. It's a weekly tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive contribution. On this particular Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do. At noon, I drove to a McDonald’s with my daughters because they kept complaining that they hadn’t had enough to eat at breakfast. There we saw some homeless people in the street and we bought lunch for them.
We were about to complete when we found a small woman standing at the corner, asking for change. We handed her some food, and then started to head home. Suddenly from the mirror of the car, I saw the woman waving at us, so I had to turn around and stopped where the small woman stood. She walked to our car, and said, "Thank you, lady! No one has ever done anything like this for me before." I replied, "Well, I'm glad that we were the first." Feeling uneasy, and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, "So, when do you think you'll eat your lunch?"
She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, "Oh honey, I'm not going to eat this lunch." I was confused, but before I could say anything, she continued. "You see, I have a little girl of my own at home and she just loves McDonald's, but I can never buy it for her because I just don't have the money. But you know what…tonight she is going to have McDonald's!"
I don't know if the kids noticed the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our Acts of Kindness were too small to have effect on those poor people. Yet at that moment, I realized the truth of Mother Teresa's words: "We cannot do great things — only small things with great love."
小題1:
According to this passage, the small woman was ______.
A.too happy to stand at the corner
B.too eager to ask for more food
C.too poor to buy McDonald’s
D.too busy to care for her daughter
小題2:
What can we know from the passage?
A.The author finally realized what she did was of use to the poor.
B.The author would stop doing her acts of kindness to the poor.
C.The author’s daughters found their mother cried at the end of the day.
D.The author’s daughters would make friends with the woman’s daughter.
