My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea．As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and 31 those we had grown to love．We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again  32  at the pier （碼頭） waving good-bye to my father as his  33  pulled him away from us．My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of  34 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of  35  in the new environment again．
Throughout the years of changing  36 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother．For both my  37  and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher．She played these roles while  38  some type of part-time job．Leaving a promising career is just one of the  39  which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so． 40  she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother,  41 , managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and  42 ．
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,  43  with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability （無能） to  44  a career or establish a home．But it was not for my mother．She turned this  45  into adventure for us all! Each relocation （變換位置） was a chance to  46  another part of the world．My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood．Each new house was a  47  to rearrange furniture, make curtains and  48  pictures．Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people．
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a  49  attitude．She always had strength in the face of struggle and change．My mother was so  50  all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change．She is my hero．

One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear – producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.
Each of us had a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蠶食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.
Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive（認(rèn)知的）skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培養(yǎng)）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three – year – old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.
Kids are not to blame. They are over – protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite（儀式）of passage.
Everyone from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement（增強(qiáng)）love, respect and need for the landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
小題1:.
According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that_____.
A．we are the last generation to experience nature.
B．the author of Last Child in the Woods don’t defend parks against encroachment
C．without having a nature experience, kids are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives
D．children should grow up to be protectors of nature
小題2:.
According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will    .
A．keep a high sense of wonder
B．be over – protected by their parents
C．be less healthy both physically and mentally
D．change wild places and creatures for the better
小題3:.
. According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is    .
A．the fault on the part of their parents
B．the natural experience in their growing up
C．the result of their own carelessness in play
D．the effect of their repetitive stress from computers
小題4:.
In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to    .
A. blame children for getting lost in computer games                 
B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment
C. show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature

An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56 years has saved the lives of more than two million babies.
James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease, a form of severe anaemia. He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies, including his own daughter, Tracey, who had a healthy son thanks to her father's blood.
Mr. Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18 years old and has now racked up a total of 984 donations. When he started donating, his blood was deemed so special that his life was insured for one million Australian dollars.
He was also nicknamed the “man with the golden arm” or the “man in two million”. He said: “I've never thought about stopping. Never.” He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14 after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed 13 litres of blood. “I was in hospital for three months,” he said. “The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18.”
Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood. At the time, thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease. Other newborns suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition. The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood. It stems from one having Rh-positive blood and the other Rh-negative.
His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine called Anti-D. After his blood type was discovered, Mr. Harrison volunteered to undergo a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine. “They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of,” he said. “I wasn't scared. I was glad to help. I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away.”
Mr. Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood. It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women. It has also been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease.
It is estimated he has helped save 2.2 million babies so far. Mr. Harrison is still donating every few weeks now.
小題1:How old is James Harrison？
A．56B．70C．74D．78
小題2:What does the underlined phrase “two million” refer to?
A．babiesB．mothersC．dollarsD．a(chǎn)ll of the above
小題3:   Why did James decide to donate his blood? Because _____.
A．his daughter asked him to help her son
B．he has a golden arm worth a million dollars
C．a(chǎn) vaccine called Anti-D is to be developed
D．someone else’s blood saved his life
小題4:The sentence “The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood” (underlined in Paragraph 5) suggests that _____.
A．babies suffer permanent brain damage before born
B．the mother and the baby have different types of blood
C．Rhesus disease contributes to permanent brain damage
D．a(chǎn)ll the patients have a rare antibody in their blood
小題5:   What can we infer from the sixth paragraph?
A．Some of the tests to develop the vaccine are dangerous.
B．His wife Barbara needed to be taken care of badly then.
C．Mr. Harrison was glad to help develop a new vaccine.
D．His blood type was accidentally discovered after tests.

In 1883, an imaginative engineer named John Roebling decided to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was a pipe dream. It was not practical. It had never been done before.
But Roebling refused to listen to them. He thought about the bridge day and night and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. After much discussion and persuasion he convinced his son Washington, who was a promising engineer himself, that the bridge in fact could be built.
Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished. With great excitement, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well, but several months after it began, a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was so seriously injured that he was never able to walk, talk or even move again.
"We told them so", "Crazy men and their crazy dreams", "It's foolish to chase wild visions", the critics said and most thought the project should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap Washington still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.
Washington's wife tried to inspire and pass on her husband's enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay in his hospital room, an idea suddenly hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this finger and tapping it on his wife's arm, he slowly developed a code to communicate with her. Then he used this method to tell his wife what the engineers should do. It seemed crazy but the project was under way again. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed.
Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to the triumph of one man's spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances.
小題1:_ What did most people think about Roebling's idea to build the bridge?
A．It would never become a reality.B．Washington was not experienced enough.
C．It would take a lot of time.D．Finding the money would be impossible.
小題2:_The underlined word `daunted' (para. 6) is closest in meaning to '______'.
A．unpleasantB．scaredC．a(chǎn)mazedD．determined
小題3:_ Which of the following shows the correct order of the events that happened in the story?
a. Roebling convinced his son.
b. Washington found a new way to communicate.
c. They hired the crew.
d. The bridge was completed.
e. Roebling wanted to build a bridge.
f. There was a tragic accident.
A．e, a, c, f, d, bB．e, a, f, b, c, dC．e, f, a, b, c, dD．e, a, c, f, b, d
小題4:_ What can we learn about Washington's wife?
A．She knew sign language very well.
B．She was devoted to her husband.
C．She developed a code to communicate with her husband.
D．She helped her husband design the plan.
小題5:_ What does the story tell us?
A．Success will come with the passing of time.
B．Struggles are exactly what we need in our lives.
C．Even the most distant dream can be realised with a never-say-die attitude.
D．The people who make a difference in our life should be remembered forever.

When we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again.
After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night.
We found him just in time.
This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.
Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.
There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “l(fā)ost” situation. A rainstorm or sudden blizzard may catch him without a compass in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.
When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.
The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.
小題1:The writer suggested that if the man had not been found, he would have ______.
A．been shot by a gunB．become confused
C．been attacked by wild animalsD．been in great danger
小題2:According to the text, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, he would _____.
A．worry about being laughed atB．push himself to find his way out
C．feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friendsD．feel sorry that he didn’t study hard enough
小題3:When a person tries to find his way in the woods, ________ is the most important.
A．intelligenceB．observationC．directionD．chance
小題4:The writer tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who_______.
A．go into the woods by themselvesB．don’t know how to signal for help properly
C．a(chǎn)re frightened when they think they are lostD．keep their head when they are in trouble

The Ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day.
More than 15 percent of the Chinese youth have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shanghai-­based Wenhui Daily reported.
The World Health Organization predicted that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent, and mental problems will become a major factor behind death and illness in the young worldwide.
Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, said rapid social change is one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems. If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence (發(fā)生) of crime, drug­taking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.
Experts said mental disease could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable (不穩(wěn)定的) emotions and pressure from the overload of study. A number of experts have also said the one-­child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.
Children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in one-­child families. Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental well­being. Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No. 105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling (咨詢) to students three times a month. “Students can be arranged to have 40­minute counseling lessons,” Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams, to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.
小題1: What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To urge awareness on mental health of the young.
B．To give details of the problems the Chinese youth are facing today.
C．To recommend that schools should invite more psychologists to help students.
D．To show us causes of the mental problems among students.
小題2: The underlined word “addressed” in the fourth paragraph most probably means ________.
A．talked aboutB．dealt withC．decidedD．introduced
小題3:From the passage we can know that the causes of mental problems are mainly the following EXCEPT ________.
A．one­-child policy
B．lack of ability to handle interpersonal relations well
C．lack of special training in mental health
D．heavy burden from study
小題4: We can learn that to bring down the occurrence of mental problems among the youth, ________.
A．special attention should be paid to the mental health of the young
B．psychologists must be a necessary part of schools
C．the government should cancel tests to ease the pressure on the students
D．parents must try their best to meet all the needs of their children

Count Me Out
Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but refuse to become part of this new Internet world.
I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned, the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.
Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site.” There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do it they are seeking a cure for their illness?
There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn’t interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.
And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm,” he said. “But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop ‘consciousness.’ In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”
If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude about conjurers. As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.
小題1:What’s the meaning of the title “Count Me Out”?
A．Get me out of the Internet world.
B．Computers are trying to take control of life.
C．Modern technology pushes old people away.
D．Do not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.
小題2:According to Paragraph 2, the author thinks computers are         .
A．unnecessaryB．convenientC．expensiveD．a(chǎn)dvanced
小題3:What might the author like about the future computer?
A．Taking blames.B．Curing illnesses.
C．Delivering messages.D．Responding to emotions.
