Were you the first or the last child in your family? Or were you a middle or an only child?
Some people think  31  matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some people say that oldest children,  32  are smart and strong-willed, are very likely  33   (succeed).  The reason  34  this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child and give him or her a lot of attention. An only child will succeed for     35   same reason.
What happens to the  36  children in the family? Middle children don’t get so much attention, so they don’t feel that important. If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child,  37 , often gets special treatment. Often this child grows up to be funny. But a recent study saw things quite  38  (difference). The study found that first children believe in family rules. They didn’t take many chances in  39  lives. They usually  40  (follow) orders.  Rules didn’t mean as much to later children in the family. They took chances and they often did better in life.
 
31. it   32. who   33. to succeed  34. for   35. the  
36. other   37. however / though  38. differently   39. their    40. followed

President Coolidge’s statement, “The business of America is business,” still points to an important truth today — that business institutions have more prestige (威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige?
One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.
Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly (壟斷) of power. In contrast to one all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers’ dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.
A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important, or even more important, than democracy in preserving freedom.
Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic (貴族的) idea of inherited privilege.
1. The statement “The business of America is business” probably means______.
A. America is a great power in world business
B. Business is of primary concern to Americans
C. The business institutions in America are concerned with commerce
D. Business problems are of great importance to the American government
2. Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only ______.
A. by protecting their individual freedom                        
B. when given equality of opportunity
C. by way of competition                                               
D. through doing business
3. Who can benefit from business competition?
A. People with ideals of equality and freedom.   
B. Both business institutions and government.
C. Honest businessmen.                             
D. Both businessmen and their customers.
4. Government is believed to differ strikingly from business in that government is characterized by ______.
A. its role in protecting basic American values                  
B. its absolute control of power
C. its democratic way of exercising leadership
D. its function in preserving personal freedom
5. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes ______.
A. in many countries success often depends on one’s social status
B. businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America
C. American businesses are more democratic than those in other countries
D. Americans are more ambitious than people in other countries

I find it pleasant to be alone the greater part of the time; to be in company, even with the best, is soon tiresome and wasteful, and I never found a companion so companionable as solitude (獨處).
We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad than when we stay in the meeting-rooms, for solitude is not measured by the miles of space between a man and his fellows.
The farmer, who can work alone all day without feeling lonesome, but must do something with others to get pleasure at night, wonders how the student can sit alone at night; he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is actually at work in his field and cutting his wood as the farmer was in his.
Society is commonly too cheap:We meet at very short intervals (間隔) ,not having had time to get any new value for each other; we meet at meals three times a day and give each other a new taste of that unpleasant old cheese; we live thick and are in each other’s way, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.
We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable (可忍受的); certainly less frequency would be enough for all important and hearty communications between men.
It would be better if there were but one to live within a square mile, as where I live ,for as the value of a man is not in his skin, we need not touch him.
72.The writer uses the example of the farmer and the student to show that _____.
A.men need to do something for pleasure after their work.
B.men are not lonely when they are working.
C.solitude is necessary for a student.
D.people have different ideas of solitude.
73.When the writer says:“Society is commonly too cheap” he means that ______.
A.we meet not frequently enough so we don’t understand each other well.
B.we eat cheap food and live a simple life so we don’t feel very happy.
C.our lives are too regular for us to find any happiness in them.
D.people don’t have enough hearty communication to realize the value in others
74.The writer’s opinion on the value of a man is that _____.
A.it is made too low by the rules of etiquette and politeness.
B.it can be discovered through frequent physical touch.
C.it can be found in a man’s appearance.
D.it doesn’t lie in physical touch.
75.The writer almost believes that ______.
A.a(chǎn) student and a farmer have no idea of solitude.
B.the same life we live every day is the cause of man’s loneliness.
C.etiquette and politeness are rules that make frequent meetings tolerable.
D.less frequent meetings can make us more clear about the value of men.

Street art can be found on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and even trash cans from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings, sculptures, cloth or even stickers (張貼物). Street art has become part of a global visual culture. Now, even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists.
It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also, because it is illegal to paint public and private property without permission, street artists usually work secretly. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others see this art as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression.
Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their “tag” on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti (涂鴉). It is visually exciting and energetic. Some graffiti paintings were signs marking the territories of city gangs or illegal crime groups.
Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion (叛逆). This was art that rejected the accepted rules of culture and power. These artists could travel around areas of the city making creative paintings for everyone to see. Sometimes this street art created a conflict between artists and city officials. Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.
During the 1980s, two New York painters — Keith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums. This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.
小題1:What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.Street art has become popular and is accepted as a kind of culture.
B.Street art is very special compared with other forms of popular art.
C.Many people are beginning to learn street art.
D.Street art is better developed in big cities than in rural areas.
小題2:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.“TAG” was a word created by people to distinguish street artists and the other artists.
B.There are three reasons explaining why it is hard to define the history of street art.
C.The movement of street art began in the 1980s in New York City.
D.All the people don’t think that the street art is a rich form of cultural expression.
小題3:The city officials used to get rid of graffiti probably because _____________.
A.they caused arguments between peopleB.they were ugly in someone’s eyes
C.they were not painted under proper guidanceD.they didn’t express traditional culture
