I wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but that’s impossible. For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met.
In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely.
The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn’t large and I live better. Non-imported(非出口的) foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can’t afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor area in China. But they organized Project Hope many years age. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.
When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems.
When I am asked which country I consider better. China or the US, my answer has always been the same, “We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.”

I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz（爵士音樂） concert last Friday. The advertisement（廣告） in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00.Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unluckily, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round（往返的） trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again the next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back（奔回） across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.
小題1:The man learned that there would be a concert last Friday ________.
A．from his friendsB．from one of his workmates
C．over the radioD．from the newspaper
小題2:One day the man took________ to get to the theatre by bus.
A．forty-five minutesB．fifteen minutes
C．just twenty minutesD．over an hour
小題3:The underlined word “relieved” may best be replaced by“________”.
A．worriedB．pleasedC．puzzledD．sorry
小題4:The writer mainly shows us his________.
A．enjoyment of the concertB．a(chǎn)nger for buying the ticket
C．efforts to buy the ticketD．disappointment at the concert

A group of frogs was traveling through the woods and two of them fell into a pit(坑). All the other frogs gathered around it and watched as the two frogs tried to jump out.

But      , the second frog kept jumping hard       the negative remarks of those that kept yelling at her to accept the       and just die. Finally, with one big leap, she       it out of the pit! 
In fact, the second frog was       and unable to hear what the others had been saying. She thought they had been       her on the entire time they were yelling! What she had       considered as encouragement       her to try harder and succeed. And that made all the      ! 
With a positive       and being deaf to others' opinions, the second frog reached her goals by using such       as encouragement, instead of being       by others like the first frog, who failed to develop her       to struggle for survival.      , when we overcome others' criticism or       comments, we can do anything we set our minds to, just as the second frog did.

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

It’s Pigs’ Hometown

After the war had begun, his sons were all made to join the army one after another and they all died in the fights. The old man was very sad. He didn’t have enough food and was often hungry. And nobody helped him and he didn’t know how to go on living.

Out came an old policeman at once. He took the old man into a room, gave him some bread and a cup of tea. Then he said, “Don’t say so in our village, sir!”
