Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 am. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak and elderly voice. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It's nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you are such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It's not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I'm in no hurry,” she said. “I'm on my way to a hospice (臨終醫(yī)院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (計價器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, “I'm tired. Let's go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers.” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
小題1:Why did the man help the old woman so much?
A.He wanted to get more money from the old woman.
B.He was out of patience with the woman and wanted to leave quicker.
C.The old woman asked him to help.
D.He hoped others could also treated his old mother as well as he did.
小題2:The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to       .
A.show she was familiar with the city
B.see some places for the last time
C.let the driver earn more money
D.reach the destination on time
小題3:According to the text, what would the old woman feel after the driver showed her around the city and gave her a warm hug?
A.Excited.B.Shocked.
C.Grateful.D.Upset.
小題4:What can we learn from the story?
A.Giving is always a pleasure.
B.People should respect each other.
C.An act of kindness can bring people great joy.
D.People should learn to appreciate others' concern.

Everyone wants some degree of success. Many people believe that they deserve success simply because they believe that they deserve success.
But there is a widespread belief that people who get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it, but because of influential (有影響的)  friends or the right background. Sometimes it may just be a comforting and harmless belief, while at the other extreme it can be very destructive. I once met a brilliant young engineer who worked in a chemical plant. Because of her knowledge and experience, she should have been promoted to Production Manager. Instead, the job went to a man who was totally unsuited for the post. Everyone knew that he only got it because he was politically acceptable to his superiors (上司). This injustice discouraged the young engineer and many of her colleagues. It also meant that the factory was much less efficient than it could have been.
   At the same time, we should not be pessimistic (悲觀的). More and more the modern world depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not just because their faces fit. There is a story of a factory owner who sent for an engineer to see to a machine which would not go. He examined it, then took out a hammer and tapped, once. The machine started up immediately. When he presented his bill, the owner protested, "This can't be right! $ 100 just for tapping a machine with a hammer?" The engineer wrote out a new bill: "For tapping a machine, $1; for knowing where to tap. $99."
小題1:The engineer at the chemical plant was not promoted because _____.
A.it was politically less good for the boss to accept her than the man
B.her boss did not think she had the fight qualifications for the job
C.the man who got the promotion was more experienced than she was
D.it is more difficult for a woman to get a promotion than for her male colleague
小題2:The engineer who repaired the machine was right in charging $ 100 because____.
A.he hit the machine to get it started again
B.the factory owner could not have repaired it himself
C.he was charging for his knowledge and expert skills
D.he was the only person who could find out what was wrong with it
小題3:What can we learn about the author's attitude toward the widespread belief that "people get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it"?
A.He quite agrees with it.
B.He doesn't express his opinion his opinion at it.
C.He completely disagrees with it.
D.He doesn't quite agree with it.
小題4:According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?
A.Having influential friends or right background seems helpful sometimes.
B.The engineer had good reason to overcharge the factory owner.
C.Not all those who are good in their jobs have the chance to be promoted.
D.Those who are good in their jobs are still largely needed by the modern society.

 Lifeguard, sportscaster, movie star, governor, president——there wasn’t much Ronald Reagan didn’t do in life.
“The world was a vast opportunity for him,” Lou Cannon wrote in his biography(傳記) of the former US president, who died on June 5,2004, aged 93.
Reagan’s final years saw him fight a losing battle against Alzheimer’s disease(老年癡呆癥). But his positive attitude toward life has given hope to many people.
Born in 1911 to a poor family in a small town in Illinois, his father was a failed salesman who drank too much. It was in these difficult times, though, that Reagan developed the powerful optimism(樂觀) that would serve him so well. He always believed better times lying ahead, and this was reflected in his high school yearbook entry. “Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music,” he wrote.
As a teenager, Reagan spent summers working as a lifeguard at a local beach, saving 77 lives in seven years. He graduated from college in 1932 with a degree in economics and sociology. But America was still in the middle of the Great Depression, and jobs were hard to find. Reagan finally found work as a radio sports announcer and this road led him to Hollywood in 1937.
During the 20---year film career, he never became a leading star. As in his lifeguard days, Reagan loved to play the hero and only took the role of a bad guy once in more than 50 films.
A talented speaker who was always able to connect with his audience, Reagan became involved in politics in the 1950s. This popular touch led to him being elected the governor of California in 1967.
All the while Reagan was in California, he had his eye on the White House. In 1980, aged 69, he became the oldest man ever elected president.
He held office from 1981 to 1989, the first president to serve two complete terms after World War Ⅱ. When he left, aged 77, he held the highest popularity rate of any retiring president in US history.
He remained positive even when he discovered he had an illness that would destroy him. “I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal(永恒的optimism(樂觀) for its future,”he wrote.
小題1:Reagan can be best described as a man with ______.
A.firmnessB.humourC.optimismD.talent
小題2:What didn’t Reagan do in his life time?
A.Playing the role of a bad guy.
B.Being a leading star of the film.
C.Saving people’s lives.
D.Working as a radio sports announcer.
小題3:Which is the correct order of events described in the passage?
a. Reagan fought a losing battle against Alzheimer’s disease.
b. Reagan became an actor.
c. Reagan worked as a lifeguard.
d. Reagan graduated from college.
e. Reagan was elected the governor of California.
A.a(chǎn), c, d, e ,bB.e, c, d, b, a
C.b, a, c, d, eD.c, d, b, e, a
小題4:When the writer of Reagan’s biography says “The world was a vast opportunity for him,” he really means that _______.
A.Reagan achieved much in his whole life
B.Reagan could have done much better
C.Reagan did much for America and the world
D.Reagan was a very lucky man

Instead of a normal court hearing, the trial on Wednesday appeared more like a prepared drama. Hundreds of reporters waited outside the court, in the hope of learning “shocking” information about the case, which includes well-known military singer Li Shuangjiang’s son, who gang-raped a woman with another four men on February.
The case was not a public hearing because it includes teenagers, whose privacy must be protected under law, but many details had been exposed by the lawyers before the trial.
Lawyers of all five suspects and the woman’s lawyer made a lot of debate on the Internet before the trial, making the case more confused.
Wu Ming’an, a law professor from the China University of Political Science and Law, said it was a pity to see such a “performance” by the lawyers.
“It can be understood that the two parties freely spoke their opinions, but it’s not professional or wise to see lawyers do the same,” Wu said. “Instead, the lawyers should guide and persuade their clients(當事人) to calm down, especially for such a non-public and sensitive case.”
China has no clear rule to manage lawyers’ behavior before trials, “but it should be general knowledge that the lawyers of the two sides cannot leak too many details, particularly in a case that includes teenagers”, Wu added.
Yi Shenghua, a lawyer who has been following the case, said it does more harm than good to both parties for such detailed information to be exposed before the trial.
“It’s OK for lawyers to speak, but what is said must be reasonable and legal. Although judgments should not be affected by public opinion, it’s hard for them not to be,” he said, suggesting judicial authorities should speak out if the case goes wrongly.
Trials must be conducted based on evidence, while lawyers should protect their clients’ rights instead of adding fuel to the flames, Yi said.
In my eyes, the most important aspect of the case, lies in how to make lawyers do their work more professionally and reasonably.
小題1:Why was the case not a public hearing?
A.Because it included the well-known military singer Li Shuangjiang’s son.
B.Because the victim was a woman.
C.Because teenagers’ privacy must be protected under law.
D.Because many details had already been exposed before the trial.
小題2:What is Wu ming’an’s attitude towards the lawyers’ behavior of making a lot of debate on the internet before the trial?
A.a(chǎn)pprovalB.criticalC.neutralD.indifferent
小題3:The underlined part “l(fā)eak” in para. 6 refers to_________.
A.give awayB.squeeze outC.break downD.sweep up
小題4:From Yi Shenghua, we know that _______________.
A.The lawyers’ behavior before trials hasn’t been ruled.
B.It doesn’t matter whether the detailed information is exposed before the trial.
C.What lawyers say must be reasonable and legal.
D.It is hard for judgments to be affected by public opinion.

It was really not that easy to get on a bus as often as we do today. I was so worried that the bus driver would have missed us. I waved my hands so high with all my strength. I looked hopefully at him. He didn’t move at all. He was still standing. It seemed that the late and infrequent coming of the bus wasn’t any trouble to him at all.
He took my hand. We managed to find seats on the upper deck. I was so excited. Only sitting beside the windows made me happy. Looking at the rewinding buildings, streets and people through windows from a higher ground was so much fun. Then, he was sitting peacefully by me and whispered to me where the bus finally would stop. I was curious about what would be the next stop of our destination as much as what really means something to him.[]
That is me. I know now. I am all he cares. He wants me to be happy, as he always does. That’s the strong bond between father and son. Childhood, naive(天真)  and precious, you showed me the world and the way I look at the world. I am so grateful for your presence in my life. Thanks, you are so wonderful!

Hello! My name is Lisa, and I am a lioness. I live on the open grasslands of Africa with my family. Lions living in a group are called a pride.
My father is strong and powerful. He and his cousin are the leaders of our pride. The other members are my mother, her sisters, and their children.
