If you're into sports, you've seen it happen． You've probably even experienced it: basketball players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around, tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents （對手）  after a hard-fought match, soccer players exchanging sport shirts after an intense 90 minutes, even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 12 rounds． It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way． What's going on?
It's all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity．
What is sportsmanship? Sportsmanship is defined as: playing fair, following the rules of the game, respecting the judgment of referees and officials, treating opponents with respect．
Some people define good sportsmanship as the "golden rule" of sports --- in other words, treating the people you play with and against as you'd like to be treated yourself． You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials．
But sportsmanship isn't just reserved for the people on the field． Cheerleaders and fans also need to be aware of how they behave during competition． Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude; and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you．
Learning good sportsmanship means finding that the positive attitude learned on the field carries over into other areas of life． At school, for example, you're able to appreciate the contributions made by classmates and know how to work as part of a team to complete a project． You may enjoy more success at work as well, because a big part of learning good sportsmanship is learning to be respectful of others, including customers and co-workers．

Temperature is part of my married romance.   36  to New York from Baltimore——where there is just one small snowstorm each year——I was seated by a fireplace in my new home, with fires   37  all day, just as what ancient people did at a wedding.
My husband, Peter, comes from northern Ontario（加拿大的安大略�。�, where winter   38  from September to May and cold wind is   39 . “When Canadians have -30℃, they   40  it bravely,” he says, “Cold wind is for crybabies.（愛哭的人）”
So to marry this man I had to learn to   41  for serious cold. To get me from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to Albany’s frozen Hudson, Peter piled me   42  jackets and sweaters, scarves and gloves, even a hat with earflaps.

It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble．That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
“I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville．As I got onto  Highway 40，blue lights and sirens(警笛)going.I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway．The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me．He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder．”
But Hyde couldn’t go after him．Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders，so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident．But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove，hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car．As it turned out，keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult．Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination(目的地)．At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene．His help wasn’t needed.Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird，who by this time had developed something new to panic about．
“Just about that time，” Hyde said，“I saw fire coming out from under that car，with blue smoke and oil going everywhere.He’d blown his engine．Now he had to stop．”
“After I arrested him．I asked him why he was running．He told me he didn’t have a driver’s license(執(zhí)照)．”
That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty---a thousand dollars for the new engine---not to mention the charges for driving without a license，attempting to run away，and dangerous driving．
小題1:The underlined word“panicked”in Paragraph 2 means       .
A．fearedB．hatedC．excitedD．satisfied
小題2:The driver of the Firebird suddenly speeded down the highway because         .
A．he was racing with another driver on the road
B．he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene
C．he thought the police officer wanted to stop him
D．he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder
小題3:Which of the following statements is true?
A．Someone else was taking care of the injured person．
B．The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene．
C．Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car．
D．The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality，yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform，whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five­star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms，one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(百姓的)clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic(技工) is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse，a policeman，a barber，or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry(洗衣店）bills. They are tax­deductible(可減稅的)．They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.
Primary(主要的) among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms，the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it，without change，until retirement. When people look alike，they tend to think，speak，and act similarly，on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long­lasting，often their initial(最初的)expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain（維持，維護(hù)），requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering(洗滌) possible with many types of civilian clothes.
小題1:It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality______.
A．still judge a man by his clothes
B．hold the uniform in such high regard
C．enjoy having a professional identity
D．will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform
小題2:People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform ____.
A．suggests quality workB．discards(丟棄)his social identity
C．a(chǎn)ppears to be more practicalD．looks superior to a person in civilian clothes
小題3:The chief function of a uniform is to ____.
A．provide practical benefits to the wearerB．make the wearer catch the public eye
C．inspire the wearer ' s confidence in himselfD．provide the wearer with a professional identity
小題4:According to the passage, people wearing uniforms ____.
A．a(chǎn)re usually helpfulB．have little or no individual freedom
C．tend to lose their individualityD．enjoy greater popularity
小題5:The best title for this passage would be ____.
A．Uniforms and SocietyB．The Importance of Wearing a Uniform
C．Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD．Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms

When you do some minor image editing (修正) on your computer screen, you may make some mistakes, so from time to time you’d click undo (撤消).
There are things in life we cannot undo as easily and completely as we would with our computer files. A wrong turn, a hurtful word said to a loved one, a bad move — these we all commit as we walk our life’s journeys, no matter how careful we are in our steps. Once committed, we can no longer undo many of these mistakes, especially because unlike with our computer documents, each thing we do and say has vast impact as they involve not just us — the file that we are working on — but also others, the unopened files and computer programs in our system.
So I guess our life’s mistakes are not like our pencil scrawls (潦草書寫) that can be effectively corrected with an eraser, or errors on our computer works that can be undone with an undo button. But there are effective and reliable tools we can use—APOLOGY and FORGIVENESS. Simply click the APOLOGY button when you have committed a mistake that has hurt a loved one and the words “I’m Sorry” will flash on the other person’s screen. But, you have to be truly sorry and you must be prepared not to commit the same mistake again for your APOLOGY to work. Sincerity is definitely a necessary part.
When someone clicks the APOLOGY button and the words “I’m sorry” flash on your screen, all you have to do is click back the FORGIVENESS (原諒) button. It means that you have wholeheartedly accepted the other person’s APOLOGY. But not only that. You also have to click it when someone has sent you back the message “It’s okay. Forget about it.”. It means that you are also forgiving yourself for your mistake; that you won’t keep feeling so bad having committed it.
And lastly, don’t forget to keep clicking the SAVE button. Going through the whole process of editing—of doing and undoing, of apologizing and forgiving — is useless if you fail to save the LESSON for future use. Let the saved file be a reminder of the healing process you once went through to make yourself better; for you not to forget the lesson; and for others to access and learn from.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．However careful we are, we still make mistakes in life.
B．Things we do and say can affect computer programs in our system.
C．We can undo life’s mistakes if we are careful enough.
D．An eraser is an effective tool for our computer works.
小題2: The APOLOGY button should be clicked when ________.
A．one wants to make the computer work perfectly
B．one’s mistakes won’t influence others any more
C．one is actually saying “I’m sorry”
D．one won’t make the same mistake again
小題3:What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The UNDO button.B．The APOLOGY button.
C．The SAVE button.D．The FORGIVENESS button.
小題4:We need to click the SAVE button in life because ________.
A．we want to go through the whole process of editing
B．we need to learn a lesson from the past mistakes
C．we want to make the healing process faster
D．we need to use the computer properly

At one time, people used to travel to foreign countries because they thought they would be different from home—the building, the food, the national dress. Nowadays, however, one large city is very like another. They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels which look Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald’s, their KFCs, their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of office buildings. And, of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars, usually wearing the same kinds of clothing and the world’s airlines are all flying the same aircraft, Boeings or Airbuses.
What, therefore, is the purpose of foreign travel for people who are not on business? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they cannot experience at home? Why travel to foreign countries at all? The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a nation’s history that is its main attraction. Most of today’s tourists travel overseas to find out what foreign countries and cultures used to be like, not what they are like today. The words “cultural tourism” are now part of the language of tourism, and it is the museums and works of art in many countries that are their main attractions.
If they are lucky—and have had sensible, strong governments—many countries also usually have at least a few beautiful places for tourists to visit.
Finally there is perhaps a nation’s greatest attraction: its people. A nation is not just its historical buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, it is also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people every year. They come mainly because of the friendliness of the Thai people. It is why the Pacific Islands are also so popular. There may not be much to see or do in Fiji, but there are lots of friendly, smiling people to make visitors feel welcome.
小題1:The passage is mainly about      .
A．the importance of tourismB．different foreign cultures
C．how to plan an overseas tripD．why people travel to foreign countries
小題2:The writer thinks that large cities in foreign countries       .
A．a(chǎn)re similar to one anotherB．share the same aircraft
C．do not have good hotelsD．do not offer a warm service to foreigners
小題3:The writer believes that many tourists are interested in foreign        .
A．hotelsB．historyC．carsD．programs
小題4:The underlined phrase “cultural tourism” means        .
A．visiting lots of museumsB．traveling overseas
C．studying the history of a foreign countryD．tourists being interested in a nation’s past and ideas
