This was our time，our senior year. My best friend Beth and I had big dreams…But in my world of “big dreams” this one small       freshman did not appear on my radar(關注范圍). My best friend Beth was the first to       her.
“Kristi，did you see the girl standing by us in the lunch line --- she looks so      ，so out of place.” We had heard of a family that had just       to our town from the country of Cambodia. We knew there was supposed to be a       girl at our school from that family，but we had yet to meet her until now.
Leourn was a small dark-haired beauty. She       with the little English she knew and that made it very       for her to get to know people in our small town．Every day Leourn kept her eyes fixed on the       and we never，ever saw her      .
What could we do to help Leourn？With       and faith，we decided to let her know that there were people who      . We sought out Leourn in the halls and said “ Hi ” and tried to continue to engage her in      . Leourn responded to us with smiles and small talk.
When Valentine’s Day(情人節(jié)) came，I       thought of Leourn and decided I would send her a      for the holiday. Thinking that she was       learning our language and customs，I simply wrote, “Happy Valentine’s Day,Leourn. Your friend Kristi.”
I will       forget that Valentine’s Day.
For the       time，Leourn was the one who       me out. She found me in the hall with the carnation（康乃馨）in her hands. Then she did something       ．She actually took her eyes off the floor，looked up at me with beautiful eyes and in a       whisper said two words: “Thank You.”
It was a life-changing moment for me.

Steve Nash enjoys team success far more than personal success, and always wants to share the glory and the joy with teammates.
He is a self-effacing (不愛出風頭的) Canadian, who grew up in hockey country. Today Steve Nash has to stand alone even if he doesn’t enjoy it. The Phoenix Sun’s point guard has to take ownership of a set of skills that sets him apart from every bigger, faster basketball player. He is considered the best basketball player in the game.
31-year old Nash was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the NBA on May 8, 2005. “It’s unbelievable,” he said. “It’s been a long road for me and I really enjoy playing as a team, just trying to be a good teammate. That is the only way for me to highlight what I do as a basketball player.”
It is the first time a Canadian has won any individual NBA honor. Of the 50 winners of the MVP award, only six have been guards: Steve Nash, Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, and Bob Cousy. “I’m happy for him getting the MVP, which makes us feel like we all got the MVP,” said Phoenix forward Shawn Marion.
He may be the only one who truly believes he can reach this level. “I always try to set goals for myself and have my own time frame to accomplish them and I never give up on anything,” he said. It is not as if Nash arrived at this point without countless hours of hard work.
His interests go far beyond sports and the NBA. His social conscience is such that he wore a T-shirt bearing an anti-war slogan at the NBA all-star weekend festivities in Philadelphia in 2002.
“A lot of great moments are when you win games with your teammates. There’s nothing like sharing something with someone else,” he said. “There is a pinnacle (頂點) of a player’s career individually. In many ways, the pinnacle of a player’s career really is defined by team wins.”
小題1:What does Steve Nash mean by saying the last two sentences?
A．A player’s success is decided by his / her individual efforts.
B．A player won’t succeed without a team’s support.
C．A player will succeed sooner or later.
D．A team always decides a player’s success.
小題2:Steve Nash feels happiest _______.
A．when he is named the Most Valuable Player of the NBA
B．when he is 30 years old
C．when he plays at the NBA all-star weekend festivities
D．when his team wins a game
小題3:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Nash is an American basketball player.
B．Nash is better at basketball than Magic Johnson.
C．Nash is the first Canadian winner of the MVP award.
D．Michael Jordan is the best of the six guards.
小題4: Which of the following is the main message that the passage wants to express?
A. Nash prefers team honor to personal honor.
B. Hard work will lead to the honor of the MVP of the NBA.
C. A Canadian can be an MVP of the NBA.
D. Setting goals is of importance to success.

That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in     for seventeen years, I had no    about my ability to hold their attention and toimpress on them my    for the literature of my mother tongue.
As I entered the room, I was     when the monitor shouted: “Stand up!” The entire class rose, and I was somewhat    about how to get them to sit down again. Once that awkwardness was over, I quickly     my calmness and began what I thought was an informed lecture, sure to gain their respect — perhaps    their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.
I asked my students to keep     as homework. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually    by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.    her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a     theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical    for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained. “How    they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it    became clear that my ideas about     were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise    questions and provide enough background so that students could    their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide    information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
   , I benefited a lot, for my experience with my Chinese students has made me a    American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

Albert was an ordinary worker in an oil company in America. His workmates gave a nickname(綽號) “Four dollars a bucket (桶)” to him, for he was always used to leaving an advertisement of his company “Four dollars a bucket of oil” below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name.
As time went by, people forgot his real name. Later, when Rockefeller, the board chairman of the oil company, heard of it, he was very surprised, so he invited Albert to come to his office.

“Oh! What a fantastic man!” Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Albert’s words. “Young man, work harder! You must succeed in the future! I believe in you!”
Five years later, Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller.

When two Bangs meet
Sheldon Cooper is a scientific genius on the popular American TV show, The Big Bang Theory (《生活大爆炸》). He finally met his match last year: Stephen Hawking.
This is not the first time that the scientist has appeared on TV. He has also been on Star Trek (in 1987) and The Simpsons (in 1989). Each time, he played himself.
Hawking, 71, is perhaps the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He has spent his whole life studying the beginning and the end of the universe, including the Big Bang (宇宙大爆炸) theory.
The Big Bang theory explains the early development of the universe. According to the theory, about 13.7 billion years ago everything was all squeezed （擠壓）together in a tiny, tight little ball, and then the ball exploded. The results of that explosion are what we call the universe.
Hawking has always tried to make science more popular with people. His book: A Brief History of Time was published in 1988. In the book he shares his understanding of the universe in simple language. The book tries to explain many subjects about the universe to common readers, including the Big Bang, black holes and light cones (光錐).
Hawking’s achievements are even greater if you think about his disability. When he was 21, Hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking. Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He chooses his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer (合成器).
Hawking also believes that there might be aliens in space. However, he believes they are probably very dangerous, so we should not look for them. “I imagine they might exist in very big ships ... having used up all the resources from their home planet,” Hawking said in a British documentary（紀錄片） named Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking. 
小題1:What does the “two Bangs” in the title refer to?

C．people who know little about the universe
D．people who only know simple language
小題4:The Big Bang theory mainly explains _____.
A．how the universe startedB．what the universe is like
C．how old the universe isD．how the universe exploded
