      Driving cars, trucks and motorcycles is an important part of our lives. We do it every day to get to
work, to school or to friends' houses.
      Driving can be very convenient, but can also cause many problems. Waiting in line at a red light, a
driver may get impatient and decide just to drive right through it. If another car is coming from the other
direction, there might be a terrible accident. Cutting another car off can make its driver angry, so that
driver cuts off someone else. Pretty soon everybody is angry, and impatient.
     Traffic accidents declare millions of lives every year worldwide. In Taiwan alone, over seven people
are killed in accidents every day. The annual death rate from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice that of
Japan.
      To allow traffic to move smoothly and safely, everybody must follow the rules. Before you drive,
learn all the traffic laws. That way of driving is safe, convenient and even fun!

1. The underlined sentence "Traffic accidents declare millions of lives worldwide" in the
    passage means "_______".

A. Traffic accidents make some people become millionaires 
B. Many people die from traffic accidents 
C. Millions of people say they themselves have had traffic accidents 
D. Millions of people remain healthy after traffic accidents

2. According to the passage, driving can be safe if _______.

A. you are patient                    
B. you obey all the traffic rules 
C. you don't cut another car off        
D. you wait in line at a red light

3. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?

A. Traffic Safety

    Giving life and hope

        Orphans(孤兒)whose parents died of AIDS in Henan Province have been given new hope．Last week the provincial government answered the children's cries by promising 60 million yuan to improve schools，orphanages(孤兒院)and living conditions．But without the efforts of Dr．Gao Yaojie，these cries may never have been heard．

        “I’m a doctor and it’s my duty to cure diseases and save lives，”said the 77-year-old grandmother．Gao was named one of the 2003 People of Year on February 20 by CCTV after millions of people took part in an online poll. But in 1996，when she started to promote AIDS awareness，using money from her own pocket，her actions were widely misunderstood．

        “Although some of the children were born with born with HIV，90 percent of them were not infected(被感染)，”Gao said．“But people still reject(排斥)them．Many orphans change their names after finding a foster family(領(lǐng)養(yǎng)家庭)．”

        The horror of Henan's AIDS problem became known in 1996．Frequent and unsafe blood-selling by poor farmers in the late 1980s and early 1990s had caused HIV to spread through dirty needles and infected blood use．As a doctor，Gao believed she should help：over the last eight years she has visited over 1000 AIDS and HIV patients and published thousands of pamphlets on AIDS awareness．With her help，hundreds of orphans have returned to school or found foster families．

        “It's a disaster for the whole nation，not only for those innocent(無辜的)patients and their families，”she explained．Gao is delighted that so many childless families offer to foster orphans．But there is still much that can be done to support these children．“I hope that warm-hearted high school students will also reach out and offer a helping hand，”she said．

        Comprehension question：

        In what way has Dr．Gao Yaojie helped the orphans with AIDS?

    閱讀理解

    　　It’s only 34 centimetres tall but, as the highest honour in the world of cinema, an Oscar is worth its weight in gold．

    　　Just saying its name draws up images of red carpets, bubbling champagne(冒泡的香檳), beautiful stars and, most importantly of all, success．

    　　When the 76th Academy Awards were presented this morning in Los Angeles, US, the winners became headline news across the world just as the first Academy Awards．Organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the first Academy Awards ceremony took place at a Hollywood hotel on May 16, 1929．All the guests knew who had won in advance; the present system of keeping it a secret until the envelope is opened was introduced in 1941．

    　　The trophy(獎品)is the figure of a knight(騎士)holding a sword．The first awards were solid bronze but a metal shortage during World War Ⅱ meant the trophies were made of plaster(石膏)for a while．Nowadays, the figures are made of metal and given an outer coating of gold．

    　　Officially known as the Academy Award of Merit, it isn’t clear where the nickname(昵稱)Oscar came from．One popular explanation is that an Academy librarian said it looked like her uncle Oscar and the name just stuck．

    　　The timing of the ceremony has only been disturbed on three occasions．The first was in 1938 when serious floods in Los Angeles delayed the awards by one week．Then in 1968 the ceremony was moved from April 8 to April 10 out of respect for Dr．Martin Luther King, who had been assassinated(暗殺)a few days earlier．Another assassination－a failed attempt on President Ronald Reagan－saw the Oscars delayed by 24 hours in 1981．

    (1)

    　　That “Monday morning feeling” could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath．Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break．

    　　The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day．

    　　Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week．Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day．

    　　A study of 11 000 Italians proved 8 a. m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewest heart attacks in both countries．

    　　The finding could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr．Stefan Willich of the Free University．“We know a lot about long term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol(膽固醇)but we don’t know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can’t give clear advice on how to prevent them.” he said．

    　　Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work．

    　　“When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal(荷爾蒙)changes in their bodies,” Willich explained．“All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot(血凝塊)which will cause a heart attack．”

    　　“When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes．They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activities,” said Willich．

    (1)

    Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows, ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    is not as serious as people thought

    B．

    is the first killer in Germany and Italy

    C．

    is created by researchers in Germany and Italy

    D．

    is harmful to working people in developed countries

    (2)

    To protect people from a heart attack, doctors have paid much attention to ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    people’s working time

    B．

    people’s living place

    C．

    people’s diet and lifestyle

    D．

    people’s nationalities

    (3)

    It can be learned from the passage that the heart attack has something to do with all the following EXCEPT ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    blood pressure

    B．

    heart rate

    C．

    hormonal changes

    D．

    blood type

    (4)

    If the researchers give us some advice to avoid Monday morning feeling, what might it be?

    [　　]

    A．

    Improve working conditions．

    B．

    Never go to work on Mondays．

    C．

    Stay with a doctor on Mondays．

    D．

    Get up late on Monday mornings．

      Ask Dr ? Jeffers

    This month Dr. Jeffers is answering questions about the human brain and how it works.

    Dear Dr. Jeffers,

    One of my colleagues, Felix Moeller, told me that scientists are learning to use computer to ‘read minds’. Is there any truth to this story/

    —Jane Leon, New York, USA

    Dear Ms. Leon,

    Well, a lot of research is being conducted in this area, but so far, the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs haven’t been able to actually read thoughts. In one experiment, test subjects（受試者）were connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen. They were then asked to choose between adding or subtracting（減）the two numbers. Using this method, researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions（假設(shè)）70 percent of the time. It’s not quite mind reading, but it’s certainly a first step.

    —Dr. J.

    Dear Dr. Jeffers,

    My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle （胳肢）him until he laughs uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldn’t do it. Why not?

    —Glenn Lewis, Vancouver, Canada

    Dear Mr. Lewis,

    It’s because of how the brain works. The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you don’t notice how your shoulder feels while you’re walking down the street. But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder, you may jump in fear. It’s that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction.

    —Dr. J.

    1.What can we learn from the answer to the first question?                           

    A. Some equipment is able to read human minds.

    B. Some progress has been made in mind reading.

    C. Test subjects have been used tomake decisions.

    D. Computer programs can copy brain processes.

    2.People laugh when tickled by others bedause the feeling is _______.                  

    A. unexpected        B.expected        C. comfortable        D. uncomfortable

    3.Who has got a little child according to the text?                                   

    A. Ms. Leon          B. Mr. Lewis        C. Mr. Moeller        D. Dr. Jeffers

    4.According to the text, Jeffers is probably _______.                                 

    A. a computer programmer                B. a test subject

    C. a human brain expert                   D. a medical doctor

         Dr. Julie Coulton, a British psychologist, focuses her research on the extraordinary function of the
    play in the physical and spiritual development of children and Martti Bergson from the University of
    Helsinki shows that playing outside, in the open air, contributes to a better development of the brain.
         Thus parents must encourage their children to spend as much time as possible in the open air, and
    at the same time, to ask schools and kindergartens to assure the small a playground outside. Recent
    statistics (數(shù)據(jù)) and studies show an alarming increase of the number of hours spent by children in
    front of the TV and the computer and a decrease of the time spent outside.
         As a consequence more and more children suffer from eye problems and have to wear glasses.
    Also the problem of fatness among children concerns many parents who don't know what to do
    anymore to make their children eat healthy and balanced.
         Children need a space where to develop their creativity mid parents should encourage them all the
    time. Too many rules hold back the child's personality and creativity and prevent them to develop the
    desire to know, to find out, to learn.
         If you tell your child so many times: "Don't do that, don't mess the room, don't go there ...", he
    will lose the desire to do something, anything. Parents must watch their children without suffocating
    (窒息) them. Should you consider they mustn't do that or this, you have to logically explain them your
    reasons and they will understand.
         Through playing a child learns how to communicate, how to take decisions. Playing is connected
    to the intellectual, emotional and social progress of the child. Playing lets your children learn how to
    express his feelings.
    1. What is worrying the scientists is that ______.
    A. most parents pay no attention to their children's playing
