That morning, I got the train as always. I was a publishing director and was looking forward to embracing a new day of work, as usual. I would always turn to the crossword(縱橫填字游戲), but that day it didn't     . I'd been doing it for 30-old years, but trying to read this one was like walking through syrup（糖漿）:    slow and hard. I thought I must be tired.
I said to my assistant. The      colleague contacted my wife, Beth, and she drove me straight to hospital. There, confirmation came that I'd had a stroke in the part of my brain that communication. I was now in a condition that means it's difficult or   to receive and produce language. It was the only time I     .
I was back at home a week later, and my goal was to get better and      work in a couple of months. The way to   my language ability was rough. I'd look at simple pictures and try to describe them as my mind      round and round in the darkness, looking for words．
As the months passed, it became      that I wasn't going to be able to go back to my old job. For 25 years, I had      myself as a publisher. I was used to a busy day of meetings. I enjoyed colleagues and the      I'd had. I didn’t feel ready to say goodbye to my old self. There were times when I felt incredibly     .
In the darkest months, I devoted myself to     . I couldn't manage novels or newspapers,   I tried reading poetry, and found the shorter lines less overwhelming(勢(shì)不可擋的). My speech came back, and I learned how to read again, though much more slowly. I also learned the      to keep up. I allowed myself to slow down, and started to enjoy it．
 ,  I get rid of my old skin. I grieved(感到悲痛) the past, its passing and its absence, and started to     it. Now, 10 years later, I look after my grandson a day a week, and my relationship with my family is deeper than ever. If you'd asked me 15 years ago to      the importance of the things in my life I might have said work, but now I'm no longer a high-achieving publisher or someone who reads 10 books a week. I'm a      man, and if I read 10 books a year, that’s pretty good.

Lilian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs Hanson different from her classmates is her age — 73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.
When Lilian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn’t think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Lilian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college.
Mrs Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again. She finds the hardest part of going back to school at her age is the sitting in class for long periods of time. Because she is not as flexible（易適應(yīng)的） as she used to be, Mrs Hanson often gets up and walks around between classes to keep from getting stiff（僵硬）. At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood and gave her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her aims were.
小題1:The difference between Lilian and her classmates is that         .
A．she works harder at her lessons
B．she is eager to graduate from college
C．she is much older
D．she is a country girl
小題2:Lilian wasn’t able to go to college after graduation from high school because ________.
A．she wanted to teach herselfB．she got married
C．she had to look after her childrenD．she hadn’t enough money
小題3:The writer wrote the passage in order to show us that ________.
A．a(chǎn) friend in need is a friend indeed
B．one is never too old to learn
C．knowledge is power
D．education is of great importance
小題4:Lilian could get a higher education when she was old because ________.
A．she borrowed money from the bank
B．her husband and children helped her
C．her classmates encouraged her to get it
D．the reason isn’t mentioned in the passage

At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example, when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.
But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn, even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers. While many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn't wait to be out in the world on my own. I had been looking forward to this chance for longer than I could remember. And once again, while my mom may not have been happy at the thought of me going away, she was supportive and excited for me. Sure, there were times when she’d nag (不斷地嘮叨)me about certain choices I made, but for the most part she did not stand in my way.
One big thing I realized during my senior year was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.
I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what's important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her; she is the strongest woman I know and that's why I have turned out so strong and independent.
小題1:When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico, his mother ________.
A．wanted to go with him
B．worried about his safety
C．didn’t allow him to go
D．a(chǎn)sked his grandmother for advice
小題2:The author decided to move away for college to ________.
A．be different from his peers
B．keep away from his mother
C．be independent in outside world
D．make his mother unhappy
小題3:We can learn from the third paragraph that the author’s mother ________.
A．had a high expectation from him
B．was too strict with him
C．used to expect nothing from him
D．cared little about his learning
小題4:We can learn from the last paragraph that the author ________.
A．is quite grateful for his mother’s trust
B．still doesn’t quite understand his mother’s attitude
C．doesn’t like his mother’s involvement in his life
D．wishes to have more freedom from his mother

F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”
This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.
小題1:How many novels written by Fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage?
A．5B．6 C．7D．8
小題2:Which of the following is the correct order to describe Fitzgerald’s life according to the passage?
a. He became addicted to drinking.
b. He studied at St. Paul Academy.
c. He published his first novel This Side of Paradise.
d. The Great Gatsby won high praise.
e. He failed to reorder his life.
f. He joined the army and met Zelda.
A．f-c-e-a-b-dB．b-e-a-f-c-dC．f-d-e-c-b-aD．b-f-c-d-e-a
小題3:We can infer from the passage that Fitzgerald            .
A．had made some money when he met Zelda in Alabama.
B．was well educated and well off before he served in the army
C．would have completed more works if his wife hadn’t broken down
D．helped his friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital
小題4:The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about _______.
A．Zelda’s personal life
B．Zelda’s illness and treatment
C．Fitzgerald’s friendship with Graham
D．Fitzgerald’s contributions to the literary world

"My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her. "Buy him the steaks. And value every      you have together."
She smiled and I saw the feeling in her      as she placed the package in her basket and      away. I turned and pushed my cart forward too. Several minutes later I saw first the green suit and then      the pretty lady coming to me. In her arms she carried something. On her face was the      smile I had ever seen.
As she came closer, I saw what she held and      welled down. "These are for you, " she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my arms. She placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what the roses     , but still unable to speak. I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my     . I looked down at the beautiful roses and found it almost     . How did she know?
Suddenly the      seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Bob, you haven't      me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.

When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. Half the students sneered（冷笑）, the   nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be silly, only    can become writers, ” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term. ” I was so    that I burst into tears.
That night I wrote a short   poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my   , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and   writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They   . “Just plain dumb luck. ” the teacher said. I tasted   and I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was   with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of   , letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I    from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks（剪貼簿） filled with my published works. I    mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and   people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their     .
I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. I wrote what I felt. It   nine months, just like a pregnant woman. I mailed it without a self addressed stamped   and without making a copy of the manuscript(原稿).
A month later I received a（n）   , and a request to start working on another book. The worst year I earned two dollars. In my best year I earned 36, 000 dollars.      years I earned between five thousand and ten thousand. No, it isn’t enough to live    , but it’s still more than I’d make working part time. People ask what college I    , what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is： “None. ” I just write. I’m not a genius.

Jean-Michael Lourdis was a promising young pianist. But when the young man played, it seemed to him, as if his hands were iron. He worried so much about his playing that he became oversensitive (過(guò)度敏感的) to the comments of his playing. Unfortunately, in those days, a critic(批評(píng)家) was not considered a critic, unless he found something wrong. This attitude of the critics would often leave the young man ready to give up his dream and return home.
He was invited to play in Helsinki. The rich, the famous, the leaders of State were all there. Jean-Michael had one of those days when everything went wrong. That night as he played, he felt as if it were the worst concert of his young life. The next day, in the newspapers, some of the comments were so unkind. The young musician was painful.
That day, as he sat in his hotel room in total despair(絕望), there came a knocking at his door. He had a visitor.The famous Finnish composer(作曲家) Jean Sibelius had come by to congratulate the young pianist on his performance. Jean-Michael asked how he thought of that and began to quote some of the newspaper critics. “ Hands of iron. No imagination. Little skill. No joy. Don't you hear what they say?” he asked.
