The telephone rang in the police station at Richmond, California, US. “  1 station? A train for Santa Fe collided (相撞) a   2 at the McDonald Street Crossing. Please come here at once. With an ambulance(救護(hù)車)，too. A man is badly wounded,” said a(n)  3 voice of a young woman.
“OK. We’ll come soon. Please stay there and wait.” Replied the policeman.
Within a minute, a police car and an ambulance  4 off. Soon they got to the crossing, but only to find everything was  5 . No collision, no wounded man.
“What a dirty  6 !” said the policeman angrily. “ We must find out that mischievous (惡作劇)   7  
and…”
They had not been able to say anything about a  8 when they heard the whistle of a train was nearing them quickly. All of a sudden, a truck appeared. It came  9 towards them, too. When it was passing the crossing, it suddenly  10 to move on. Right then and there, before the eyes of all the people present, the train collided with the truck heavily and struck it dozens of metres away.
When Randolph Bruce, the driver , was helped out of the damaged truck, he was badly wounded just as the young woman had foretold (預(yù)言) on the phone. As he was taken to hospital in time, he was  11 at last. Later the police did whatever they could to  12 the woman who had  13 them, but failed.
It is really  14 that a prophecy(預(yù)言) should agree with the fact so  15 .

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left   1 . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other   2 ?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s,  3  children from different races and religions played and studied   4 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s   5  from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just   6  our differences.

Even after two   16  we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something   17  to describe.
If we can allow our children to be   18  without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be   19  their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and   20  we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote,“we happy few, we band of brothers”.

“Scotty!” Mr. Brown, my Year 11 English teacher, called me by my nickname (綽號) across the classroom. His eyes were bright and a secret   36  was half hidden behind the beard.
Once he finished joking over my unbearable   37 , I realized he was going to read my story aloud to the class. I turned red, feeling at once both embarrassed and   38 . I had my very   39  reading audience! Though my classmates were a ‘passive audience’, it didn’t weaken my feeling of being   40 .
After that, I came to   41  those Year 11 English classes. Throughout school I had always studied hard and achieved well in my school subjects. But creative   42  was a passion, and it was not an assignment, but a way of understanding the world and of   43  my thoughts and feelings about events and attitudes.
Mr. Brown was the first to   44  me for my writing so openly. My scores were always 19/20 or 20/20. My stories were often read out to the class. He even   45  one with the respected Head of English teachers, which was the most   46  part that is impressed on my memory. But   47  that, he offered a belief in me that no other teacher had.
My school   48  often stated, ‘Candice is a quiet achiever.’ I thought it was meant as a(n)   49  for being hard-working. I was someone that no one really   50  before, but Mr. Brown managed to   51  all that by bringing me to the attention of the world. Though it was the relatively   52  world of school, it put the seed of belief in myself that some day I could be an   53  person rather than the person who faded into the background.
I   54  touch with my teacher long ago, as we do when we move away from the school system and enter life. I wish I could tell him now how much he   55  me.

A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.
The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.
Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (靜脈滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉), unwilling to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times.
When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, “I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies？”
But the doctor knew that her family was well­off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car.
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, “The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling.” Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.
小題1:If you’re a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, what kind of people do you have to attend to?
A．Patients with a lot of money.
B．Patients suffering from cancer.
C．Patients without many days left.
D．Patients living alone.
小題2:What can we learn from the passage?
A．The doctor told the old man the truth.
B．The old man’s children were wealthy.
C．The girl’s father encouraged her to accept the money.
D．The girl didn’t accompany the old man when he died.
小題3:What is the real reason resulting in the old man’s mental improvement?
A．The girl’s love and great care.
B．The pleasure of helping people in need.

One day, Mary asked her mother, “Mum, what do people mean by saying they have a skeleton(骨架）in the closet(衣櫥)?” Her mother paused thoughtfully and said, “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his family’s closet. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick my family?” Mary’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?”  “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now.” Mary cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was quiet. Mary’s parents were quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Mary’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Mary’s mother sank into a faint(暈倒), waking only when Mary put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Mary. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Mary looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re crazy,” she thought.  
小題1:According to Mary’s mother, “a skeleton in a closet” means _______.
A．a(chǎn) family honorB．a(chǎn) family wealth
C．a(chǎn) family storyD．a(chǎn) family secret

B．They were the earliest people living in Australia.
C．They were involved in some crimes in Australia.
D．They were not regarded as criminals in their days.
小題3:Mary’s mother fell down into a faint because she was_________.

小題4:Why did Mary bring a skeleton home?
A．She was curious about it.B．She planned to keep it for fun.
C．She needed it for her school task.D．She intended to scare her parents.
小題5:Mary’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because________.

About 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注冊) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.
In the teacher’s office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “ Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)? Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No, no, it can’t be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.
My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?
He was angry: “ Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”
No, I didn’t speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn’t want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times? “ Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and sent them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”
Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “ those people.” Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.
As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(雙語的)。
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other places- something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.
小題1:The teacher asked the author to his office________.
A．to work out a study plan for Scola
B．to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten
C．to discuss Scola’s in-class performance
D．to find a language partner for Scola
小題2:What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably  mean?
A．AttendingB．DisturbingC．BreakingD．Following
