Recently, one of my best friends, whom I’ve shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me．Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we’ve both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other．
Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with．She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior．I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn’t want her around him．No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn’t believe me．Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared．
I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble．I felt like I was getting nowhere．I just couldn’t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boyfriend．
By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience．It had been so frustrating, I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship，but I didn’t．I put the power of friendship to the final test．We’d been friends for far too long．I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself．I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything．
A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend．I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face．It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life．Never had I been so proud of a friend．
小題1:In the writer’s opinion, her friend ________．
A．was a girl with no self-respect
B．could find a better boyfriend
C．was brave enough to stick to her own choice
D．didn’t value the writer’s suggestion

A．She would lose the friendship with her．
B．Her friend’s parents would be worried about their daughter．

A．didn’t want to go anywhere else
B．hated her friend’s hanging with her boyfriend
C．couldn’t believe that her friend’s choice was acceptable
D．doubted that she could in any way help her friend

The fact that blind people can see things using parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color．If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it．Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics（化妝品） should never be packed in brown．These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology．
Some of our preferences are clearly psychological．Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement．Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people's mind．People in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure．Red is exciting．Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color．Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars．
小題1:The passage tells us that salesmen have____ ．
A．tried colors on blind people
B．found out that colors affect sales
C．developed a special subject of color psychology
D．discovered the relationship between color and psychology
小題2:It can be inferred from the passage that__ _．
A．blind people cannot sense color differences
B．foods sell well in green or blue wrappings
C．w hat color we prefer depends on our state of mind
D．a(chǎn) bright color has exactly the opposite effect to red
小題3:The most effective color in the passage for warning people is____．
A．redB．dark blueC．greenD．bright yellow
小題4:If someone is in an angry mood, which color is better for him to become quiet?
A．Red．B．Dark blue． C．Brown． D．Bright yellow
小題5:Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?
A．Colors and FeelingsB．Colors and Sales
C．The Blind and ColorsD．Preferences for Colors

In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic (學(xué)業(yè)的) achievements and felt confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.
However, in the past five years the job market has changed greatly. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.
Five years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2006. There were many high-tech job chances. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance (保險) and paid vacations. However, "Times have changed and it's a new market," according to an officer of the San Jose State Career Center.
The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines (下降) in starting salaries.
Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.
In conclusion, these days a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth for some students. For now, they can only hope the value of their degree will increase over time.
小題1:The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means _____.
A．skillsB．interestsC．chancesD．ideas
小題2:Which of the following majors has the best job offers?
A．teachingB．a(chǎn)ccounting
C．political scienceD．computer science
小題3: Ryan Stewart will have to ____________.
A．go back to schoolB．get a job teaching
C．change his majorD．become a religious leader
小題4:The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ____________.
A．the best way to get rich is not to get a college degree
B．most students with degrees will not be able to find jobs
C．having a college degree does not mean that one has money for travelling
D．a(chǎn) college degree does not mean that one will find a well-paid job
小題5: The main idea of the passage is that _________.
A．a(chǎn) lot of graduates are losing their jobs
B．Ryan Stewart has been able to find a job
C．salaries in some fields have increased in the past year
D．the job market has changed greatly over the past five years

Do you enjoy reading? Do you read newspapers or magazines? Chances are, if you do any of these activities, your pre-school child is on his way to becoming a reader.
The process of learning to read is complex, and one of the most important things to know is that parents can help their children learn to read. As children have conversations with adults, they hear both new and familiar words and their vocabulary grows.
There are many opportunities for adults and children to talk together, such as when riding in the car or in a bus, doing housework like fixing dinner, or bathing and getting ready for bed. A major part of conversation is listening. When children talk, adults listen and respond. Then children listen and respond, and so the flow of conversation happens.
Have you watched you pre-school child pretend to read to his younger sisters or brothers? Have you read his favorite story over and over? These experiences tell children that reading is fun. And when things are fun and they are repeated, your child will see letters. He begins to connect them to familiar words, especially the letters that make up his name. A natural next step for him to take is to write the letters.
When children see parents make a grocery list, they want to use a pencil and paper to make their own list. To encourage these beginning writing activities, have pencils, markers, crayons and scrap paper within your children’s reach.
The more children get connected with talking, listening, reading and writing, the easier it is for them to become active readers. While you as a parent have a big influence on these early behaviors, it is important to remember that opportunities for literacy experiences happen when you and your child share in the basic routines（日常生活）of everyday life.
小題1:The third paragraph tells us that parents can talk with their children__________.
A．during daily routinesB．only in quiet places
C．in their spare timeD．when they are eager to walk
小題2:During the process of learning to read, children may _________.
A．copy the action of the adults.
B．prefer to talk with those of their own age.
C．show no interest in reading at all.
D．waste a lot of paper and other materials.
小題3: When do children want to learn to write?
A．When their parents ask them to do so.
B．When they believe they can write well.
C．When they know what they want to know
D．When they can connect letters with familiar words.
小題4:The passage is written to _____________.
A．talk about parents’ influence on their children’s behavior
B．encourage parents to set a good example to their children
C．a(chǎn)dvise parents to make reading a part of their children’s daily life
D．make parents believe in the importance of early reading

Maybe you have ever seen a cross. A cross can be a piece of jewelry or an image in
a painting. But do you know the cross is a very popular symbol for Christmas？
It came from the story of Jesus’ death on the cross two thousand years ago in Jerusalem. Jesus was Jewish，and at that time Jewish people were under Roman rule. Jesus was badly punished because he declared to be the Son of God and the King of Jews. Surely，the Son of God could have saved himself from the death！But the Bible says that Jesus had a reason to die that day. It was in God’s purpose that it would happen.
Christians call the day that Jesus died “Good Friday”.At first，it is hard to understand how a terrible day could ever be called good. Well，the story does not end there. Jesus died and he was buried. But three days later，Jesus was alive，and the whole world was changed.
Today，Christians everywhere remember this important time. They celebrate Easter. Easter is the day that Jesus rose from the dead. After his death on the cross，Jesus’ body was placed in a tomb. On the third day from then，God raised him from the dead. Jesus stayed on earth physically for several weeks. Many people saw him. Easter is the happiest time of year for Christians because they believe that Jesus had victory over death and evil and that now he lives with God the Father in heaven. But before celebrating Easter， Good Friday should be remembered. Jesus died a horrible and painful death. He suffered, though he did noting wrong. Christian believe that Jesus was God’s substitute(代表) for humans， because humans all do wrong. He died because of humans and he died for humans.
Christians often wear crossed around their necks of hang them in their homes because they believe it is a very important sign. The cross helps them remember how much God loves them.
