I’d just got in a taxi at the railway station when suddenly I found one of my suitcases missing. Just then, I saw a young fellow about 30 walking away with it, opening it and drawing out the valuables. “Stop thief! Stop thief!” I shouted and threw open the car door and rushed out to him, followed by the driver and half a dozen passers-by. Very soon the thief was cornered at the turn of the road. My driver caught the thief by the neck and put his hand into his trouser pocket, drawing out money, credit card, telephone book and so on and put them back into my suitcase.
Half an hour later, the car was running at full speed on the express highway. I sat back and breathed a long sigh of relief (松口氣). But as I pulled out those stolen things from the suitcase and started to check them, I became dumbfounded (驚呆了). Before my eyes were 200 yuan instead of 100. And a blood test report of a 58-year-old woman appeared. I suddenly realized that the taxi driver must have mistaken the thief’s belongs and put his into my suitcase. The pitiful and begging look of the poor young man flashed across my mind again. My heart began to sink.
Two years has passed since then. But this event keeps coming back to me. Was the young man a habitual robber or a dutiful son who had been driven to desperation (鋌而走險) to find money to save his mother’s life? My heart aches for him. How I wish I had gone back that summer afternoon to return the 200 yuan and say sorry to him. For the first time in my life, I realized that hate and love are very close.
小題1:Why was the writer dumbfounded when he opened his suitcase?
A．Because he was now searching a different suitcase.
B．His own blood test report has changed into an old woman’s.
C．An old woman had put her savings into his suitcase.
D．He was facing things that did not belong to himself.
小題2:Who helped the writer catch the thief?
A．No one. He caught the thief all by himself.
B．The driver with several other people.
C．Some policemen.
D．The thief came back and gave back the suitcase to him.
小題3:What was one of the reasons for the young man to steal in the writer’s opinion?
A．The young man was a born thief.
B．The young man couldn’t afford to pay for his old mother’s medical treatment.
C．The young man’s mother asked him to do so.
D．Young people are likely to steal when they are poor.
小題4:The major purpose for the writer to write this passage is ______.
A．to describe what hate and love are like
B．to entertain the readers with an interesting story
C．to impress the readers with an interesting story
D．to encourage the readers to help him find the thief

Writing a long book seemed to be too much for me. So, for a long time, I just wrote short articles. One day, inspiration(靈感) for an article hit me and, as I started writing, paragraphs began flowing out fast. It turned out to be too long to be an article. I thought it would not hurt to try self-publishing a booklet(小冊子). The first printing of this 32-page black and white booklet sold out within a week. Here is something that I have learned through my experience.
1.Start small.
Don’t try to have a 400-page work as your first publication. I suggest you publish a booklet under 50 pages to launch your career as an author.
2.Ask for advice.
If you know some people who have published something, ask them for advice and help. You will gain useful information from them and save yourself many problems.
3.           
When you put your heart into something only to hear“We’re not interested”,you may get hurt. But you must remind yourself that this is quite common. Every“yes”you receive comes after at least five“noes”,especially at the beginning. You need to revise your book many times to reduce the chances of being turned down.
4.The more you market, the more you sell.
You can publish an excellent book. But if no people know about it, you cannot expect many buyers. Send out an e-mail to friends, family and business partners, telling them your book’s publication date. Ask them to help sell your book.
Do not be afraid to try novel ideas.
小題1:What does the underlined word“l(fā)aunch”in Point 1 there mean?
A．Begin.B．Develop.C．Lead.D．Describe.
小題2:What’s the best title for Point 3?
A．No one will like what you wrote at first.
B．You will get hurt by what you wrote at first.
C．Prepare for a“yes”rather than a“no”.
D．Be prepared to deal with“noes”.
小題3:According to the passage, if you want to have more copies of your book sold, you should      .
A．a(chǎn)dvertise your book in newspapers
B．try to make more people know your book
C．a(chǎn)sk your business partners to buy your book
D．write something that people are interested in
小題4:About self-publishing a book, the writer would most probably agree that       .
A．one usually makes no money out of self-publishing a book
B．one should never self-publish a book longer than 400
C．self-publishing a book is impossible for most people
D．a(chǎn)sking advice from people who have published a book is helpful

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (大牧場) in San Isidro. He lets me use his house to hold events to raise money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he greeted me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a poor horse trainer who would go from stable (馬廄) to stable, farm to farm, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school was continually interrupted (打斷). One day in the last year of high school, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to do when he grew up.
“He wrote a seven-page paper about his goal of owning a horse ranch in great detail. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and even drew a detailed floor plan for the dream ranch. Then the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. But he got a low mark with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’
“The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive a low mark?’
“The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There’s no way you could ever do it, your dream couldn’t come true . ’Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your mark.’
“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’
“Finally, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He wrote, ‘You can keep the low mark and I’ll keep my dream.’
“I was that boy twenty years ago.” My friend said, smiling.

There was an American writer who often told such a story to his friends and readers:
It was an exhibition of the artists’ works organized by the Red Cross. I was invited as a special guest to take part in the exhibition. During this period, two cute girls of 16 or 17 years old came to me and asked for my signature(簽名).
“I haven’t brought my pen. Is the pencil okay?” I asked. In fact I knew they wouldn’t refuse. I just wanted to show a well-known writer’s good manners to the common readers.
“Certainly,” the young girls readily agreed. I could see they were very excited. Of course, their excitement also made me more pleased with myself. One of the girls handed her notebook to me. I took out my pencil, wrote a few words of encouragement, and signed my name. The girl read my signature, frowned(皺眉), looked at me carefully and asked, “Aren’t you Robert Charboss?”
“NO,”I told her proudly, “I’m the author of Alice Adams, the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes.”
The young girl turned to another one, and said, “Mary, lend your eraser to me.”
At the moment, all my pride turned into a bubble (泡沫) immediately. Since then, I always warn(告誡)myself：Don’t think too highly of yourself even though you are so outstanding（杰出的）.
小題1:The writer went to the exhibition because he      .
A．would put out his new book
B．got a special invitation
C．wanted to meet his fans
D．wanted show off (炫耀) that he was an outstanding writer
小題2:We can infer that the two girls were the fans of   .

小題3:The underlined sentence “all my pride turned into a bubble immediately” means that the writer     .
A．had realized that he was too proud of himself
B．felt very angry when he heard the girl’s words
C．was so polite to the girls and helped them a lot
D．was regret to sign his name for the girl

Passage 1 is from the introduction to a Zen Buddhist (禪宗的佛教僧侶) manual on the art of “mindfulness”, the practice of paying close attention to the present moment. Passage 2 is from an essay by a United States author.
Passage 1
Every morning, when we wake up, we have 24 brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift! We have the capacity to live in a way that these 24 hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness to ourselves and to others.
Peace is right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don’t have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky. We don’t have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we breathe can be a source of joy.
We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. We are very good at preparing how to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with joy, peace, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.
Passage 2
The argument of both the hedonist (享樂主義者) and the guru (印度教的宗師)is that we were but to open ourselves to the richness of the moment, to concentrate on the feast before us, we would be filled with bliss. I have lived in the present from time to time and can tell you that it is much overrated. Occasionally, as a holiday from stroking one’s memories or brooding (擔(dān)憂) about future worries, I grant you, it can be a nice change of pace. But to “be here now,” hour after hour, would never work. I don’t even approve of stories written in the present tense. Ads for poets who never use a past participate, they deserve the eternity they are striving for.
Besides, the present has a way of intruding whether you like it or not. Why should I go out of my way to meet it? Let it splash on me from time to time, like a car going through a puddle, and I, on the sidewalk of my solitude (孤獨), will salute it grimly like any other modern inconvenience.
If I attend a concert, obviously not to listen to the music but to find a brief breathing space in which to meditate on the past and future. I realize that there may be moments when the music invades my ears and I am forced to pay attention to it, note for note. I believe I take such intrusions gracefully. The present is not always anunwelcome guest, so long as it doesn’t stay too long and cut into my remembering or brooding time.
小題1:The author of Passage 1 would most likely view the author of Passage 2 as _______.
A．failing to respect the feelings of other people
B．squandering (浪費) a precious opportunity on a daily basis
C．a(chǎn)dvocating an action without considering the consequences
D．a(chǎn)ttaching too much importance to the views of others
小題2:The author of Passage 1 would most likely respond to the “argument” (line 1 Passage 2) with_______.
A．a(chǎn)bsolute neutralityB．partial acceptance
C．complete agreementD．surprised disbelief
小題3:In Passage 1 line 11, the list (“a job…h(huán)ouse”) presents things that most people ________.
A．a(chǎn)ssume they will eventually obtain
B．eventually realize are overrated
C．a(chǎn)re unwilling to make sacrifices for
D．see as worth much effort to acquire
小題4:In Passage 2 lines 8—10, the “present” is characterized as _________.
A．a(chǎn)n unavoidable imposition (強加)
B．a(chǎn)n unsolvable puzzle
C．a(chǎn) dangerous threat
D．a(chǎn) burdensome obligation
小題5:Which of the following phrases from Passage 2would the author of Passage 1 most likely choose as a title for Passage 1?
A．“the hedonist and the guru” (line 1)
B．“a brief breathing space” (line 11)
C．“the feast before us” (line 2)
D．“an unwelcome guest” (line 14)
