He never believed that true love existed.
His parents divorcedwhen he was young and he didn’t think that true love was able to survive in today’s world.
He was   36  wrong.
His grandparents were always supportive to the kids and tried to help them when their parents   37 . He knew they loved each other, he just wasn’t sure it was true love. He had   38  heard them say, “I love you” or they hadn’t shown any affection   39  hugging. They had been married for over fifty years and he thought that their true love was gone.
But again he was wrong. His grandfather, Ralph, was struck ill in his junior year of college and he didn’t know how serious it was until he fell and hurt his hip (臀). While in the hospital, the doctors   40    a tumor (瘤) in his lungs. They told him that he had lung cancer and due to previous illnesses, they could not operate and he was too   41  for chemotherapy (化療).
It was around Thanksgiving and by Christmas his condition worsened. The cancer spread and in late January his sister away at college too, called him crying and said she was on her way home because the doctors told their family that their   42  had only a week to live, that by the weekend he would   43   be with them. Their family came in from around the country and stayed next to his side.
It was not until then that he   44  that true love did exist and would survive beyond death. Every night as his grandfather grew more fragile, he would   45  sweet words to grandmother, Madge. The night before he died grandmother was walking out of his room and he said to her “I love you Madgie baby”.
The next morning he received a phone call at work that grandfather had passed during the night. Throughout his short battle   46  cancer, he realized how much two people can love each other and he realized how much it means to be loved and give love. It is the greatest   47  on earth and it lasts beyond life because you never forget your one true love.

She handed me a five dollar bill through the car window, then turned and walked away. I don’t know her name, nor where she was going ,but I know I will never forget that stranger who generously saved me from a lot of frustration（挫折） and prevented me from walking a mile or more to my destination.
That day My husband, Leo, and I were already a half hour late for an important conference . We had taken the wrong fork in the expressway, and found ourselves stuck in traffic that was blocked for four miles due to a serious accident.
Just then, one tapped on the window on the passenger side. It was a short, medium-built woman, who was all bundled up in jacket and scarf, wearing jeans and boots. Surprised, I was reluctant, at first, to roll the window down. What could she possibly want? I lowered the window just enough to hear what the woman had to say. Through the window, she shoved a five dollar bill. “I don’t have change,” she said, “but here is an extra five dollar bill. Use it to pay for your parking spot.” I was floored! Was this woman, whom I’d never seen before, actually giving me this much money? Yes, that was exactly what she was doing! She wouldn’t take the check I offered her for the cash. She just walked away.

Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate (交際) with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛蟲) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信號) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?
小題1: It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.
A．a(chǎn)re lying on the groundB．have an unpleasant taste
C．bees don’t likeD．have an unfamiliar shape
小題2:According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees by ______.
　    
A．waving its branchesB．giving off a special smell
C．dropping its leavesD．changing the colour of its trunk
小題3:According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.
A．making special movementB．touching one another
C．smelling one anotherD．making unusual sound

Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
　　I am one of those unlucky people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the place I was heading for.
　　I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit（承認）that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite（相反的）direction to that in which you should be going.
　　If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.
　　Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.
　　Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.
小題1:What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?
　  
A．He will direct the right way to the person willingly.
　		B．He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.
　		C．He will give the very person long list of direction.
　		D．He is going to show the man an opposite direction.
小題2:Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?
A．Because of his poor sense of direction.
B．Because he always forget the way to home.
C．Because he did not have any friend.
D． Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.
小題3:How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?
A．He felt strange.B．He felt embarrassed.
C．He felt very sad.D．He felt astonished.
小題4:Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?
A．Someone we don’t know.B．The writer did it for himself.
　		C．The secretary did so.D．A warm-hearted old lady did itI.

I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, “I’m having a dinner party” means: "I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the checque evenly, no matter what you eat." Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going?" And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know I have nowhere to go.
But in London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's, a well-known department store.
For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery's, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.
小題1:What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Choice.B．TryC．Style.D．Goal
小題2:What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?
A There is a strange mix of people.       B. The restaurants are expensive.
C. The bill is not fairly shared.        D. People have to pay cash
小題3:What does the author think of the parties in London?
A．A bit unusualB．Full of tricks.
C．Less costly.D．More interesting.
小題4: What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience？
A．Easy-going.B．Self-centred.C． Generous.D．Conservative.
