When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points．He was 41 and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my  42  . His beaming(歡笑的）face turned to shock．"You're  43  my grade?" he said angrily．"I would never have come in  44  …"
He didn't finish the  45_ , but it was obvious that his display of honesty was  46_ .He thought he'd have it all —praise and the higher grade．
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade 47  because all I'd accomplished was to discourage him from being  48 in the future．And every time I tell this story, some people agree to this   49 ．
But I can't see how I could give good reason for worsening my_ 50  in grading by undermining(損害） the honesty of all my grades by failing to  51 an error．The grade itself would be a dishonest  52  of his knowledge and it would have been 53 to other students．How could I  54 give a student a gift of an unearned grade?
I know 55 reporting an error in one's favor is unusual, but, like 56_ too much change, it's clearly the right thing to do．People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up  57 as much as anyone else．The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is  58 
enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing．
Perhaps lowering the student's grade did  59 him from being honest in the future, but bribing（賄賂）him to be honest so that he does the right thing when its cost-free would have   60 him even more．The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards．

As a young girl, Margaret “Mattie” Knight never played with dolls, preferring to make toys for her brothers instead. In 1849, Knight went to work in a cotton factory where she witnessed a “shuttle,” a device that carries thread back and forth across a textile loom（紡布機）, fly off the machine when the thread broke, striking and killing a young boy about her own age.
The 12-year-old Knight developed a safety mechanism that made it impossible for a shuttle to leave the loom. The design was so effective, soon virtually every new power loom carried her invention, saving countless workers from injury or death. Being so young, she didn’t bother to patent the device, so she never received payment.
Knight wouldn’t make the same mistake later in life when she invented a machine that could produce flat-bottomed paper bags. Knight had built a small wooden model in her home, but she needed a metal version to show it could hold up to the stress of mass production. So she hired Charles Annan to make the full-sized machine for her, only to have him try to claim the patent for himself. When Knight sued（起訴）, Annan’s argument was that the design had to be his, because no woman could possibly understand the complex mechanics. Knight proved him wrong when she brought back her wooden prototype and explained how every part worked. She won the case in 1871, making her the second woman to hold an American patent. Over a hundred years later, her design is still used as the basis for many modern flat-bottom bag machines.
But that wasn’t the last the world heard of Mattie Knight. During her lifetime, she made about 90 inventions and received 26 patents, becoming one of the most productive female inventors of the 19th century.
小題1:We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.
A．Knight behaved like boysB．Knight had an unhappy childhood
C．Knight did a poor job of making toysD．Knight liked inventing things as a child
小題2:What do we know about Knight’s first invention?
A．It is still used today.B．It brought her great profit.
C．It was made when he was 20.D．It reduced injuries at textile plants.
小題3:Knight sued Charles Annan because he _______.
A．stole the wooden model for the machine she invented.
B．failed to make the full-sized machine for her
C．tried to patent her invention for himself
D．kept the metal version for himself
小題4:What would be the best title for the text?
A．Mattie Knight’s fight for her patentB．A great woman in the 19th century
C．“The female Edison”, Mattie KnightD．Great inventions, great woman

My friend got married. His mother carried two bags of cotton from the countryside by bus and train to his city. After arriving at the city, there was still a long way to his house without any bus passing by the house. His mother walked to his home breathlessly for 40 minutes without taking a taxi in order to save money.
My friend felt bitter as well as funny at his mother’s deeds. He pointed to the cashmere and silk quilts and said, “So long as you have money, you can buy anything in the supermarket. There is no need for you to carry so much cotton here in such a long way.”
But his mother insisted and said, “The cotton of this year is light and warmth-keeping. Have a try and you will know!”
Maybe every parent is the same, caring for their children with stubborn love without caring about whether they know or like it.
This early spring, I went to visit my grandmother. We had dry beans stew （燉菜）, eggplant salad bar, sauce radish （醬蘿卜條）for our dinner, all of which were dried by my grandmother last autumn and tasted wonderful. I loved the dishes to my heart’s content and could not help praising them again and again.
After a few days, my grandmother, who seldom visited us, came to my home and unpacked her bag, smilingly taking out bags of dried eggplants, dried beans and dried vegetable. She told me that I left so hastily last time that she forgot to give me some of these foods, so she took this chance to bring me what I liked.
I was speechless at that time. Due to my casual complimentary her food, my grandmother, a nearly 70-year-old lady, by taking three buses from the west of the city to the east, came to my home with the food I liked. But she was bus-sick in life and even seldom went strolling in the street.
My pretty girlfriend had a failed marriage in the past. After divorce, her parents shed the deepest protection and care to her by helping her attend to the child and offering financial aids. Her parents’ love made her pull herself together and forgot the man who had hurt her before.
Nonetheless, her father, an honest and upright old man, after hearing his ex-son-in-law got promoted in his company, felt terrifically irritated and went to his company to question his boss why a philandering man with corrupt conducts could get promoted. The whole office fell into a mess immediately and many staff just watched on the sidelines. Some people even whispered lightly, "It is a new era now and the relationship between men and women is very open. No one would care about that anymore!"
The old man stood silently in the office with his hands shivering and eyes tearing.
That night, my girlfriend cried heavily in front of me. I asked her whether it was her father’s stupid deeds that made her feel humiliated. But she said that she felt guilty for her dad and that though the rest of the whole world betrayed her, her old father would still back her up and help her get the justice she deserved, just as when she was young and the neighboring boy grabbed her ball, her father would get it back for her. However, this changed world was no longer the stage for her old father and his deeds became funnily obsolete. No one managed to see the real and ever-lasting love to his daughter behind his seemingly rude behaviors.
Now we have grown up so much so that we could support our family and have our own children. But in our parents’ heart, they are still worried that we do not have sufficient quilts and dried vegetables. They would not feel troubled to bring all these to us regardless of long tough journey. They even would not like us to suffer a bit and try all means to protect us without caring about whether what they do is awkward and stupid or not.
Who in the world would love us so deeply and relentlessly without asking for any repay? Only our parents!
小題1:What does the author want to tell us?
A．The love from our parents is real and deep though sometimes it doesn't appear so.
B．The love from our parents is awkward sometimes, which is rather annoying.
C．Children should appreciate parents' love because their life is so hard.
D．The world is changing so the love of parents should change too.
小題2:The underlined world "humiliate" in the eleventh paragraph means ________.
A．guiltyB．movedC．happyD．a(chǎn)shamed

A．OneB．TwoC．ThreeD．four

A．congratulated him

C．had a quarrel with him
D．a(chǎn)rgued with his boss

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg，distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I
stopped because it's part of a contract(契約)we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it is an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.
Trust is our first inclination(傾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
小題1:Why did the author get impatient while driving?
A．He was lonely on the road.
B．He was slowed down by a truck.
C．He got tired of driving too long.
D．He came across too many traffic lights.
小題2:What was the author's immediate action when the traffic light turned red?
A．Stopping still.
B．Driving through it.
C．Looking around for other cars.
D．Checking out for traffic police.
小題3:The event made the author strongly believe that __________.       
A．traffic rules may be unnecessary
B．doubting others is human nature
C．patience is important to drivers
D．a(chǎn) society needs mutual trust
小題4:Why was the author proud of himself?
A．He kept his promise.
B．He held back his anger.
C．He followed his inclination.
D．He made a right decision.
