The house was quiet at 5 a.m. and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (輕微顫動聲) of the freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches—but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table:
Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight. Tim.
The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn’t up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves. The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn’t go in all the way...
小題1:. What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?
A.He left the house quietly.B.He had breakfast at home
C.He left a note on the freezer.D.He put a sweater in his schoolbag.
小題2:. “He settled for some biscuits” in paragraph 3 means that Tim ___.
A.had to leave the biscuits on the tableB.liked biscuits better than sandwiches
C.had to take biscuits instead of sandwichesD.could only find some biscuits in the kitchen
小題3:. What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?
A.The height of the first rocksB.The ups and downs of the waves
C.The change in the position of the sun.D.The vast stretch of the sunlit beach
小題4:. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?
A.The sea looked like a piece of gold.B.Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.
C.Tim was the only person on the beach.D.The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.
小題5:.. In the story, Tim’s mood changed from ___.
A.loneliness to crazinessB.a(chǎn)nxiousness to excitement
C.helplessness to happinessD.eagerness to nervousness

One Saturday afternoon in February, 1943, a farmer in Mexico stopped working for a moment and looked across his fields of corn. Suddenly he saw a thin line of white smoke curling up out of his field, about 200 feet from where he stood. As he went toward the smoke to see what it was, he heard a strange noise. The line of smoke became bigger. It looked as if some great force were pushing it up into the sky.
The farmer rushed home to get his wife. While he was urging his wife to hurry from the house, the earth shook violently. When he stood up after the earth stopped shaking, he looked across the field and saw that great flames were rising from his cornfield. A volcano was being born!

Particutin did not become dark that night. The volcano lighted up the sky for miles around. Flames rushed out of the ground. The volcano threw hot stones a thousand feet through the air. Great explosion shook the earth and heavy black ashes fell from the sky, covering the roofs in Mexico city, 180 miles away.
But that was not all. On the third evening a float of lava(火山巖)began to boil up from the centre of the volcano. It came over the edge in a heavy flow, 2,000 feet wide, and travelled slowly across the valley, bringing certain death to everything that could not move from its path.

While I was in 9th grade, I built a circuit (電路裝置) for the traffic system of our city. After getting the first prize, I got this valuable advice from my father: “Do whatever interests you, and don’t let the work challenge you, make sure you are challenging that work.” 
I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small sections. When I understood it clearly, I used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding (編碼). At first, I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the question “How do I do it?” As I kept working and discussed with my professor, I became more comfortable and those “how” questions soon turned into “what if I do this and that” types of questions.
It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy. I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didn’t know what to do. At that moment, a man came in to clean. He had headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again, and soon I fixed the problem. 
My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have gained the confidence to attempt any kind of project. 
小題1:According to the passage, the writer was interested in ______.
A.developing traffic systemsB.doing challenging projects
C.winning great prizesD.writing different codes
小題2: The writer asked the question “how do I do it” at first because ______.
A.he had no clear idea about his programB.he was too shy to express himself
C.he wanted to be understood easilyD.he preferred this kind of question
小題3: We learn from the passage that the writer’s shipping program ______.
A.would benefit people a lotB.was done together with others
C.was difficult and needed patienceD.cost much money and energy
小題4: What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Do It YourselfB.No Pains, No Gains
C.Learning with InterestD.Practice Makes Perfect
