Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends. They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them likes to use his head. They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.
Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor（拖拉機）. Bad luck! A lot of apples had already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price (價格)。They felt unhappy and returned to their   village.
"I can't understand why we sustained (蒙受) losses in business while others always profit (盈利)" Uncle Li asked one day. "The tractor was too small " Uncle Wang said without thinking. "We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!" "I agree!" said Uncle Li.

Success is often measured by the ability to overcome  adversity.But，it is often the belief of others that gives us the  courage to try.
J．K.Rowling，author of the Harry Potter book series，began writing at the age of 6.In her biography，she remembers  with great fondness when her good friend Sean，whom she met  in secondary school，became the first person to encourage her   and help build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer
“He was the first person with whom I really discussed my  serious ambition to be a writer.He was also the only person  who thought I was bound to be a success at it，which meant  much more to me than I ever told him at the time.”
Despite  many  setbacks，Rowling  persevered  in  her writing，particularly fantasy stories.But it wasn’t until 1990 that she first conceived the idea about Harry Potter.As she recalls，it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into her head.“To my immense frustration (沮喪)，I didn’t have a functioning pen with me，and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one.I think，now，that this was probably a good thing，because I simply sat and thought，for four (delayed train) hours，and all the details bubbled up in my brain，and this scrawny，black­haired，bespectacled (戴眼鏡的) boy who didn’t know he was a wizard became more and more real to me.”
That same year，her mother passed away after a ten­year battle with  multiple  sclerosis，which  deeply  affected  her writing.She went on to marry and had a daughter，but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.
During this time，Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression.Unemployed，she completed her first novel in area cafes，where she could get her daughter to fall asleep.After being rejected by 12 publishing houses，the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small British publishing house.
Now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages，J.K.Rowling is the highest earning novelist in history.And it all began with her commitment to writing that was fostered by the confidence of a friend!
小題1:Who believed J．K.Rowling was to be a good writer?
A．Her friend Sean.　　　B．Her mother.
C．Her daughter.　D．Her husband.
小題2:Rowling first came up with the idea about Harry Potter________.
A．a(chǎn)t the age of 6　B．on a train journey
C．a(chǎn)fter her mother’s death　　D．in her secondary school
小題3:She felt frustrated on the train because________.
A．her train was delayed for four hours
B．she didn’t have a pen with her
C．her mind suddenly went blank
D．no one would offer her help
小題4:It can be concluded from Paragraph 5 and 6 that Rowling is________.
A．open­mindedB．warm­hearted
C．good­natured　D．strong­willed
小題5:The text mainly tells us________.
A．hardship makes a good novelist
B．the courage to try is a special ability

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

My dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement. But we knew he loved us. He just had his own way of showing it.

When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers(野營者)at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived. Each family had their own campsite with water and electric, and you basically parked your camper there from May to October. Most “seasonals” visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional week-long stay. There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends. Of course, many of them were boys.
We kids paired up(結(jié)對)with our little boyfriends or girlfriends, and we’d hold hands as we walked around the campground. We’d play ping-pong, have some snacks, and sing songs. Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change. You’d see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before. You know how it is when you’re a teen—a three-week relationship is a really long time.
So, needless to say, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys. But every single one of them had something in common. They’d all received the Evil Eye.
The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing. One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess with me. It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser(激光)beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys’ brains.
“You will not put your hands on my daughter. You will not kiss my daughter. You will not even whisper sweet things into my daughter’s ear. ”
I remember one night in particular walking with a boy around the campground after dark. We came from one direction, and my dad from the other. The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick “See you later. ”
Yes, that’s the Evil Eye: best way ever to keep wandering teen boys’ hands away from your daughter.
小題1:The Evil Eye in the passage implies that　　　.
A．Dad gets angry easily
B．Dad’s eyes are evil
C．Dad’s eyes are ugly-looking
D．Dad’s eyes are protective to his daughter
小題2: The underlined words “mess with” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean“　　　”.
A．cause trouble for　　　B．make untidy
C．get married toD．talk to
小題3: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．As teenagers, we went camping every weekend.
B．We made lots of friends during the seasonal camping.
C．We had regular boyfriends or girlfriends and enjoyed ourselves.
D．The boy dropped my hand and turned away because he loved the Evil Eye.
小題4: It can be inferred from the passage that the author　　　.
A．is a teenage girl who loves her father
B．is a teenage boy who hates his father
C．is now an adult who has come to understand her father’s love
D．used to be a naughty boy who changed girlfriends now and then

It was the Year from Hell-September 1993 to September 1994-the dog died, my marriage of 24 years ended, and my house burned down. I had moved into a new rented house with my youngest son, after my husband and I split up. We'd been in the house just six weeks. I went to a dinner party one night, and as I drove home, I saw helicopters hovering in the general vicinity of my new home. Smoke was billowing into the sky, and sirens were wailing. As I got closer, I thought, Wouldn't it be awful if that was my house? Then I turned the corner, and sure enough, it was my house.
I was devastated. It had been such a horrible year, and now everything I owned had gone up in smoke. Mementos, baby pictures, family keepsakes, clothes, furniture-everything was destroyed. My marriage was gone, my dog was gone, my home was gone, and all my worldly possessions, except my car and the clothes on my back, were gone too.
My son and I stayed with a friend for a couple of nights. Then my friend Gail heard about the fire, called me up, and said, "Come move into my house. I have seven bedrooms and five bathrooms-plenty of space for you and your son." It was a sprawling ranch house on a double lot in La Jolla, with an ocean view, to boot. Gail had three kids at home, but there was still plenty of room for me and my son, Sutton. Her offer was a godsend. Little did I know that her offer of a temporary place to stay would turn into a living arrangement that lasted two and a half years.
Gail and I had a lot in common. We had both been raised Catholic and our unconscious minds had been programmed the same way-we saw ourselves as good little Catholic girls who were gonna stay married forever. But both of our husbands decided they didn't want to be married anymore, and so here we were, two single mothers, dazed, confused, and in a fog. We had followed the rules... why were we not happy? Gail and I spent the next couple of years sorting out a lot of things together.
After we moved in, I soon began to look for a permanent place to live. After a few weeks, Gail said, "Please don't leave. I've never had so much freedom!" Having me in the house meant someone to help take care of her kids, someone to share cooking and gardening, and someone to share day-to-day life. She loved having me there, and I loved being there. So we stayed.
It was an important chapter in my life. Gail and I gardened together, talking back and forth as we worked in the soil. We both needed time to heal from our divorces, time to sort out the confusion, time to get some clarity on the past and some focus on the future. It was a time of deeper insight and spiritual growth for both of us. Over time, I grew to realize how strong I really was, how even-tempered, and how I really could get my act together and go on with my life.
Gail's generosity was more than anyone could ever ask or expect from a friend. She gave me a safe haven in which to mourn and heal and grow into the next chapter of my life. She showed her love in countless ways. I am eternally grateful to have a friend like Gail.
I'm also grateful for the lessons I learned from the fire and the other losses that came so suddenly, so fast. Much to my surprise, I found gratitude among the ashes. I was tested sorely-literally trial by fire. But, like a phoenix, I rose from the ashes strong and whole. I would not be the person I am today if not for that Year from Hell.
小題1:Why did the writer say Sep 1993 to Sep 1994 was the Year from Hell?
A．She got divorced from her husband
B．Both of her houses were burned down
C．She met some misfortune one after another
D．Her dog was killed in the big fire
小題2:What did the writer and Gail have in common?
A．Both of them had one son

小題3:How did the writer spend the days with Gail?
A．She looked after the 4 kids alone
B．She planted some flowers with Gail
C．She shared the same bedroom with Gail
D．They did some cleaning together
小題4:which is the right order of the following events?
①、She wanted to find a permanent house
②、She shared cooking with Gail
③、She went to a dinner party one night
④、She stayed with a friend for a couple of days
⑤、She lost her dog
A．③⑤④①②B．④①⑤③②C．③④②⑤①D．①③⑤④②

Today, we are talking about money. I can share a bit about my history with money and my new view when it comes to using green paper.
I made a web page with links to posts about our financial journey where you can look for more details of where we’ve been and how we got where we are now. It was a big part of my story in the past and was a huge part of our downsizing journey. We got out of debt and stayed out of debt.
So I feel eager to share the benefits of being on this side. It takes planning and more careful thought whenever a dollar is spent now than it did when I had a wallet full of credit cards. I now like to think all of my dollars having a job. So many of us work for money and don’t consider that money should work for us, too. Make your dollars do the job of helping you live the life you want.
Each time money is spent or saved, it should be going toward something that you purposefully want for your life. Last week I was out and I spent $20 on food in 3 days. It made me angry because afterward I thought about eating is not at all what for my life.
On the other hand, there are times I spend $20 while out with my family and it doesn’t bother me one bit. An afternoon out with my kids during which we stop for ice cream, and do something fun together has a completely different feel to it.
In the end, I want the dollars I spend to have purpose like I can enjoy life while still planning and saving for the future.
小題1:What do the underlined words “green paper” in Paragraph I refer to ______.
A．moneyB．workC．newspaperD．book
小題2:You can learn about the writer’s history with money ______.
A．by making a web page
B．by reading posts about their financial journey
C．by going on a financial journey
D．by writing to him
小題3:In the writer’s opinion, ________.
A．more credit cards should be used in our daily life
B．we should work hard to make more money
C．money should help us live better
D．saving money is very easy
小題4:Why did the writer feel happy with the money spent with his family?
A．Because the money is spent on food.
B．Because the money is spent in doing something fun.
C．Because eating is what he wanted for his life.
D．Because the money went toward something that he wanted for his life.
