Coming home from school, I was filled with excitement. But I was       into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the end of the sofa,        , with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me she couldn’t type fast and she was out of work. My shock at finding mother in tears was a perfect       of how     I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very     to understand. I could      her pain and the tension (壓力) of     the strong feeling that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly,  something inside me     . I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face       my shoulder and sobbed. I held her       and didn’t try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, and that was enough. At that moment,       mother’s back with feelings, I understood for the first time her being so easy to     .  She was still my mother,     she was  something     : a person like me, capable of fear and       and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought     in her arms.
A week later mother took a job at half the salary the radio station       . “It’s a job I can do, though.” She said      . But the evening practice on the old green typewriter continued. I had a very       feeling now when I heard her tapping away across the paper at night. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to       .

Want to find Bigfoot? Matt Moneymaker, president of Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot, says the creatures have been seen in every state but Hawaii.
Redwoods State Park, California
With its towering redwoods and thick forest, it's hard to beat the  atmosphere at this  Northern California park.Moneymaker recommends taking a walk along the Smith River on Howland Hill Road.“We heard of lots of different sightings and sounds in there，”he says.“I've found tracks crossing that road.”707­465­7335.
Salmon­Huckleberry Wilderness, Oregon
You don't have to go far to find Bigfoot.This area 20 miles east of Portland in the Mount Hood National Forest is prime spotting territory.Bigfoot apparently has a sweet tooth and goes ape for huckleberries, which grow in the area.Scores of campers have been scared off by noises and have had rocks thrown at them.503­668­1700.
Valles Caldera National Preserve, New Mexico
The high density of deer attracts Bigfoot to this place.The creatures may use the park's mountainous lookouts to watch over deer in spring.Even when there's no wind, dead trees often topple mysteriously, with their roots above the earth.“They let you know that they're there.”505­661­3333.
Bird Mountain Wildlife Management Area, Vermont
This prominent mountain peak outside the town of Rutland has had its share of activity, including a trail­cam picture famous in Bigfoot circles of what appears to be a female one carrying her offspring (后代). Centuries ago，American Indians reported seeing an apelike creature and，more recently, hikers say that they have come upon a Bigfoot.800­756­8880.
Fahnestock State Park, New York
There's a long history of Bigfoot in this mountain park a mere 90 minutes from New York City. Moneymaker says investigators have found mysterious markings in the snow.845­225­7207.
Ponca Wilderness Area, Arkansas
Moneymaker says he had several good Bigfoot moments on a recent expedition in this area along the Buffalo National River in northern Arkansas.Most of the Bigfoot action centered on the area near Steel Creek Campground.870­439­2502.

Eyeglasses correct many different types of sight problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism (散光). Trying to understand those different numbers on an eyeglass prescription (驗光單) requires understanding the measurements optometrists (驗光師) use when fitting you for corrective lenses (鏡片).

Diopters (屈光度)
The numbers on your prescription are given in diopters, whose short form is "D". It is used to measure the focusing power, or amount of correction.
O.S. and O.D.
Optometrists use the Latin short form O.S. and O.D. to distinguish between your eyes. O.S. refers to your left eye, while O.D. refers to the right eye.
Generally, your prescription will show a number for O.S. and O.D. (given in diopters). The farther this number is on a number line from zero, the more correction your eyeglasses should provide. A plus sign means the eye is farsighted, while a minus sign means the eye is nearsighted.
Spherical Value
This plus or minus number for each eye is called the spherical value, or the degree of nearsightedness or farsightedness you have. Its short form is "S."
Cylinder
If you have an astigmatism, the optometrist will also measure its degree. The higher the number (given in diopters) marked as the cylinder of astigmatism, (its short form is "C"), the more astigmatism there is in that eye.
Axis
An astigmatism is also measured in terms of its axis, which is a number between 0 and 180. The axis of the astigmatism does not relate to the amount of cylinder, just the location of the irregularity of the astigmatism on that particular eye.
小題1:According to the first paragraph, various sight problems ______.
A．should be understood by the patients
B．can be avoided by wearing corrective lenses
C．should be tested by different optometrists
D．can be corrected by wearing eyeglasses
小題2:If you need a pair of corrective lenses, the optometrist will first value the numbers of ______.
A．DioptersB．Spherical ValueC．CylinderD．Axis
小題3:From the prescription above we can learn that Li Hua ______.
A．is farsightedB．is nearsighted
C．has no astigmatismD．is normal in sight
小題4:The text is probably taken from ______.
A．a(chǎn)n education reportB．a(chǎn) school bulletin
C．a(chǎn) local newspaperD．a(chǎn)n encyclopedia (百科全書)

With the development of society, the choice of food and drinks for children is more diversified than ever before. However, every coin has two sides. Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the statistics. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree to this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as guiding them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
小題1:What is suggested by the author to deal with “overweight”?
A．Blaming the shops selling unhealthy and fatty foods.
B．Asking young children to walk to school every day.
C．Living an active life and removing bad eating habits.
D．Not watching TV or playing computer games after school.
小題2:Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?

小題3:The author writes the passage to ______________
A．show people a social problemB．provide facts for government
C．a(chǎn)dvise solutions to a problemD．compare opinions with people
小題4:The underlined word “diversified” in the first paragraph most probably means ________.
A．variousB．difficultC．expensiveD．a(chǎn)vailable

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

It was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited to hear all his news.
My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd forgotten it at home.
No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.
That's according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.
It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.
Do you have nomophobia ?
· You never turn your phone off
· You obsessively check for texts, missed calls and emails· You always take your phone to the bathroom with you· You never let the battery run out
It's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’.   Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions would outnumber people across the world by the end of 2014.
And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?
So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all – still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging(嘮叨的) desire to check my phone.
Not having it with me felt strangely liberating. Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.
小題1:What does the passage talk about ?
A．The history of mobiles.
B．The story of meeting an old university friend.
C．The addiction of playing mobile phone.
D．The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.
小題2:The underlined phrase “ on edge ”in the third paragraph probably means_______.
A． nervousB．energetic C．crazyD．surprised
小題3:Which word is used to describe old mobile phones according to the passage?
A．digital phoneB．cell phoneC．bricksD．smart phone
小題4:According to the passage, who is most likely to be addicted to mobiles ?
A．a(chǎn) successful managerB．a(chǎn) 21-year-old girl
C．a(chǎn) 21-year-old boyD．a(chǎn) lonely middle-aged person
小題5:What’s the author’s attitude towards the using mobiles ?
A．WorriedB．FavorableC．NeutralD．Critical

You are seeing a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!
Of course he isn’t really dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.
They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!
But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “ blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They sometimes get seriously injured, and even killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落傘  ) failed to open and he was killed.
In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stunt girls , too.
小題1:What can be inferred from the author’s example of the Norwegian stuntman?
A．Sometimes an accident can happen to a stuntman.
B．The percentage of serious accidents is high.
C．Parachutes must be of good quality.
D．The cliff was too high.
小題2:Stuntmen are those who __________________.
A．often dress up as actors.
B．like to lead dangerous lives.
C．often perform seemingly dangerous actions.
D．often fight each other for their lives.
小題3:When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______________
A．he needs little protection. B．he will be covered with a mattress.
C．his life is in danger.D．his safety is generally all right.
小題4:Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance?
A．StrengthB．SpeedC．ExactnessD．Carefulness

As the mobile phones so widely appear in our daily life, someone said it would be cool if you didn’t have a mobile phone nowadays. It might be true to some extent, but as for an adult, a mobile means contact. It connects your work, relatives, friends, etc. It should do great deeds for us.
Months ago, my uncle gave his dear son a phone, because my nephew’s school is far from his home. He can only come back once a term, and the phones haven’t been so expensive yet. However, someone has criticized （批評） the young people for playing on mobiles, but not using. They are fond of sending messages, taking pictures and so on. They buy expensive, high level and fashion types for showing. They play on the mobiles day in and day out ….. Holy cow!
So, what happens to youngsters around you? Do they have a phone? What do they use it for? Do you think it’s necessary for teenagers who are still in school to have a phone?
POSTER 1:
In my view, mobile phones are only a tool for communication purpose, just like any other tools which have the potential (潛力) to be misused. In my opinion, I can see young people using it for security reason, emergency purpose, etc. If the parents can afford to pay big phone bills for their kids, well, that’s their business, like the old saying goes, “l(fā)ive and let live.”

POSTER 2:
From psychological (心理學的) point of view, teenagers are more likely to be relaxed or pleasure-oriented. They would like to make something different. Buying brands that are considered “COOL” is important to them. They want others to like and admire themselves, and sometimes, even exaggerate(夸大)their own personality to show off. This can be seen as a kind of psychology during this certain range of age.
