A year later, when Dennis and the dog were   26  in California, at first Nubs didn't   27  the guy．But within minutes, the dog jumped into Dennis' arms, jumping   28   again and again to lick his friend's face．

Most people who live in Seattle, Washington, love their city. There is a never-ending flow of fun things to do. But, people who live there do not always enjoy the day-after-day absence of sunshine during the winter months.
It is documented fact that sunshine (or lack of it) plays a major role in how each of us meets the day. It also affects how we perform at school or work. When people are derived of sunlight, they can develop seasonal affective disorder, which makes it difficult for them to feel happy or get things accomplished. No major city in the United States is more affected by the “sunshine factor” than Seattle.
To fight drizzle and fog during the winter months, Steve Murphy created a business that is very popular among the locals. The Indoor Sun Shoppe is more than a little ray of sunshine during the gray days of Seattle’s winter. His shop offers a huge source of plants and artificial lighting for people who are trying to overcome seasonal affective disorder.
Located in Fremont, Washington, The Indoor Sun Shoppe has an amazing collection of exotic plants and “good bugs” in a humid and well-lit environment. At The Indoor Sun Shoppe, you can spend up to $400 for artificial lighting that will chase away the winter blues. It will also keep your plants healthy. You can buy a dawn simulator that will gradually fill your room with a warming wake-up glow. What better way to meet a Seattle morning when real sunshine is nothing more than a happy thought!
Murphy’s in-home waterfalls are also popular with customers. But his plants and lights remain the “main course.” On a cloudy winter day, The Indoor Sun Shoppe is a bright spot in Seattle!
小題1:Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．Seattle is located in the state of Washington.
B．Citizens love Seattle for their colorful city lives.
C．Sunshine in Seattle is rare during the winter months.
D．People who live in Seattle are used to the sunshine absence.
小題2:Which of the following best defines the term seasonal affective disorder in Para.2?
A．mild temperature and a general feeling of illness caused by gray winter
B．exhaustion, depression and lack of energy caused by a lack of sunlight
C．winter-related illness caused by the low temperature and little sunlight
D．post-holiday depression that comes when relatives leave after Christmas
小題3:The Indoor Sun Shoppe _____.
A．a(chǎn)ttracts people from different parts of the whole country
B．a(chǎn)ims to create a humid and well-lit environment during winter months
C．brings only a little ray of sunshine during the gray days of Seattle’s winter
D．offers variety of goods helping people overcome seasonal affective disorder
小題4:Which of the following best explains the use of a dawn simulator?

For most people, graduation is an exciting day – the culmination (頂點) of years of hard work. My graduation day... was not.
I remember that weekend two years ago, Family and friends had traveled far to watch our class walk across the stage. But like everyone else in my graduating class, I had watched the economy go from bad to worse during my senior year. We graduates had degrees, but very limited prospects (前景). I hadn’t secured a job, and I knew that the next day, when my lease (租約) ended, I would no longer have a place to call home.
The weeks ahead weren’t easy. I gathered up everything I couldn’t carry and put it into storage. Then, because I had no opportunities in my small university town, I packed up my car and drove to California to find work. But what I thought would take a week dragged into two, then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself still jobless. The due date to begin paying back my student loans was creeping even closer.
Have you ever felt utter dread? That feeling became a constant in my life. The most frustrating part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any progress.
So what did I do to maintain my sanity? I wrote. Something about putting my words on a page made everything clearer. Something about writing gave me hope.
I channeled my frustration into a children’s book. Beyond the river was the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish who refused to give up.
And then one day, with no writing degree or contacts in the writing world – just hard work and perseverance – I was offered a publishing contract for my first book. After that, things were in place, I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with the Walt Disney Company and was hired shortly after.
The moral of this story is… don’t give up, even if things look bleak now.  Two years ago I was drinking cold soup right out the can. Things change. All we need is the courage to push beyond the river.
小題1:When it was time to graduate, the author felt _____.
A．BoredB．RelievedC．depressedD．hopeful
小題2:After the author’s graduation, _____.
A．he went on a short trip with his family to California
B．things turned even worse than he had expected
C．he focused on writing instead of applying for jobs
D．he found his salary was hardly enough to pay back his student loans
小題3:When did the author’s career life begin to run smoothly according to the article?
A．After he got his first publishing contract.
B．After he began to write his book Beyond the river.
C．After he finished his book Beyond the river.
D．After he got hired by the Walt Disney Company.
小題4:What is the main message the story intends to convey?
A．Opportunity lies everywhere.
B．Perseverance is essential to success.
C．It’s important to adapt yourself to society.
D．We should devote ourselves to whatever we do.
