Susan Sontag (1933----2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything---to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.
Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong watchwords(格言),but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes on Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. “Notes on Camp”, she wrote, represents “ a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ over ‘morals’”.
By conviction（信念）she was a sensualist, but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s , it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor —published in 1978, after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.
In America, her story of a19thcentury Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000.But it was as a all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame. “Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending …is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.
小題1:The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means Sontag_________.
A．was a symbol of American cultural life
B．developed world literature, film and art
C．published many essays about world culture
D．kept pace with the newest development of world culture
小題2:She first won her name through ___________.
A．her story of a Polish actress
B．her book Illness as Metaphor
C．publishing essays in magazines like partisan Review
D．her explanation of a set of difficult understandings
小題3:According to the passage, Susan Sontag__________.
A．was a sensualist as well as a moralist
B．looked down upon the pop culture
C．thought content was more important than form
D．blamed the victim of cancer for being repressed
小題4:As for Susan Sontag’s lifelong habit, she __________.
A．misunderstood the idea of seriousness
B．re-examined old positions
C．a(chǎn)rgued for an openness to pop culture
D．preferred morals to beauty
小題5:Why Susan Sontag won her lasting fame was because of___________-.
A．her point which was suitable for common cultural view
B．her lifelong watchword：seriousness
C．her publishing books on morals
D．her enjoying books worth reading and movies worth seeing

Wings of Angel
I used to hate myself because I wasn't "normal". Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not 36 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder(脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much 37 than others. I hated going to school and I hated  others  38  at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing 39 and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the 40 and seeing an ugly  hunchback(駝背).
My friends found me 41 because I didn't let other get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life 42 Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school—a spot where no one would 43 me. That's when I first heard your voice. "Hi. Can I sit down?"
I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face. "What are you looking at?" you asked. "Ants." "What are they doing?" "No 44 ." "I bet they're playing games and make friends. Don't you think so?" That was how our 45 started and it didn't stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche(處境)—until it was sunset. Then suddenly, you saw my 46 . She just stared. My heart 47 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would 48 me now. She stood up, pointed at my back and said, "I know 49  your back is hunched." I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be 50 . I begged in my heart for her to 51 , but she just kept on going. "I know what you've got there. Do you?" "No," I answered 52 . She bent and whispered in my ears. "Your back is bunched because you've got a pair of wings from the angels."I was 53 . I looked into her eyes and her 54 touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to 55 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind_hearted friend.

“It's really cool to have a dad who flies fighter jets,”thought 11-year-old Casey as she was watching him fly overhead.
Living on an Air Force base was not as bad as some people might think. Casey rather enjoyed being around friends who had something in common with each other. They had their own school, bowling area, and movie theatre. She especially loved it when her dad would come home each day and greet her with a new joke and tickles.
Today was different, though. When her dad walked into the room, he looked sad for some reason. He just kissed her on the forehead and told her mum that he needed to talk to her. Casey knew something was wrong.

When we read books we seem to enter a new world.  This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very    1   .  Some stories are told    2   they were true.  Real people who live in a normal world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do.  Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not    3   .  They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be   4 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this.  If we think about it, even realistic writing is only    5   .  How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real?  For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we do seem to learn something about the real world.  And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than    6   .  Reading, like writing, is an action.  It is a way of    7   .  When we read or write something, we do much more than simply look at words on a page.  We use our    8   --- which is real --- and our imagination ---which is real in a different way --- to make the words    9   in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy use the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think.  When we read    10   realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we know that we are real and they are not.  It sounds   11   , but it works.  When we read, we fill in missing information and    12   about the causes and effects of what a character does.  We help the writer by pretending that what we read is like real life.  In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our    13   when we are reading.  We    14   a book and lose ourselves in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next.  Knowing how we feel    15   we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

I was 230 pounds this spring and I decided to get down to a healthier 200.In a house full of food，including snacks bought for my 7­year­old sons，I had a hard time cutting calories. Then I noticed my neighbors were having diet meals (減肥餐)．I decided to do the same，knowing I would never be able to stick to a diet if I had to do the buying and cooking myself. I was looking for food that I could afford but I might take a diet more seriously if it hurt me in the wallet.
After online searches，I decided to compare the offerings of four companies：Zone Manhattan，Chefs Diet，Nu­Kitchen and eDiets. All four would send the meals to my door. Three send food daily，while eDiets sends a large package once a week. There were dozens of companies I could have chosen.Research suggests that the economic crisis has made diet programs less tempting.Consumers prefer do­it­yourself diets with foods bought from the supermarket.
Nu­Kitchen regards itself as the “personal chef”．I ordered the five­day plan ($230.53) and the taste was disappointing. I neither lost nor gained weight on the food.
eDiets promises “healthy，delicious meals sent to your door”．I ordered five breakfasts，five lunches and five dinners. My total cost was $119.70，or less than $25 a day. Overall，the food from eDiets was better than that from Nu­Kitchen.
Chefs Diet charged $380.99 for seven days，making it the most expensive of the four services.I never tasted anything terrible，but I never tasted anything that made me want to renew for a second week.
Zone Manhattan charged $349.80，with tax，for a week’s supply of food，or about $50 a day.I liked the food so much that I lost six pounds in the first four days on the diet.
小題1:When the author began to have diet meals，she________.
A．was 200 pounds
B．didn’t have any children
C．worked as a cook in a company offering diet meals
D．didn’t believe she could stick to a diet if she had to cook herself
小題2:What does the underlined word “tempting” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Attractive. B．Expensive.C．Delicious. D．Useful.
小題3:Which of the four companies’ food cost the least daily?
A．Zone Manhattan’s. B．Chefs Diet’s.
C．Nu­Kitchen’s. D．eDiets’．
小題4:We can learn from the passage that________.
A．the author gained weight on the food from Nu­kitchen
B．the author would choose the food of Zone Manhattan
C．the food from eDiets was the worst of the four
D．Zone Manhattan sends food once a week
