I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court（法庭）.
After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I'd have to have a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me to find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss（解雇）him. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time, and I left without getting a cent.
My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship honour or professional morality（職業(yè)道德）. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.
小題1:The author's roommate offered to help him because_____.

A．he felt sorry for the author

B．he thought it was a chance to make some money

C．he knew the doctor was a very good one

D．he wanted the author to have a good lawyer

小題2: A good doctor is essential for the author to __________.

A．be properly treated

B．talk with the person responsible for the accident

C．recover before he leaves America

D．eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury

小題3: The word "charge" in the passage means __________.

A．be responsible	B．a(chǎn)ccuse
C．a(chǎn)sk as a price	D．claim

小題4:Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very___.

A．friendly	B．greedy
C．professional	D．busy

小題5: What conclusion can you draw from this story?

A．Going to court is something every common in America

B．One must be very careful while driving a car

C．There are more bad sides in America than good sides

D．Money is more important than other things in the US

An 18-year-old high school student who had just learned to swim in the last summer vacation saved the life of a drowning Ohio boy on Friday afternoon.
Tom Erickson was credited with (因_{．．．．．．}而受贊揚)saving the life of Jason Pryor,10, in Mill Creek (小河) Park. Young Jason Pryor, from Chillicothe, was visiting relatives from Anchor Point when he fell into Mill Creek.
The Pryor boy had no business playing near the edge of the river, but he had no idea of the danger.
The creek, with much more water than usual for the recent spring rains, flowed fast and carried the boy around a bend and out of sight from his parents, who took Jason out there and said they had not even witnessed the incident.
Luckily for Jason, one of the most unselfish students from Brentwood’s Central High School was taking a walk alone through the park.
As soon as he found the boy struggling in the water, Erickson jumped into the creek and managed to pull the drowning boy out of the water. And it was reported that Erickson had never received any life-saving instruction before.
“I wasn’t sure I could do it,” Erickson said. “I didn’t know if I could swim through the river by myself, not to mention getting another person out with me.”
This incident should be a lesson to young children who do not know how to swim. Stay away from dangerous bodies of water.
小題1:   Young Jason Pryor lives at _______.

A．Anchor Point

B．Chillicothe, Ohio

C．Mill Creek

D．Brentwood

小題2:Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?

A．Life-saving instruction helped a lot in the incident.

B．Jason’s parents saw him fall into the creek but couldn’t help.

C．The creek flowed fast because it was very straight without any bends.

D．Erickson was not sure if he could save the boy when jumping into the creek.

小題3:What’s the possible meaning of the underlined sentence “The Pryor boy had no business playing near the edge of the river,” in the third paragraph?

A．The accident was none of the boy’s business.

B．The boy had no friends to play with him.

C．The boy shouldn’t have played near the creek.

D．The boy was very busy and had no time to play.

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”, my brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, and then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is that she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.

Many people of my generation(代，一代) say that there is no hope for the future because of the way that 11  people behave today.
Their first argument（論點） is that when we were young we used to look after the  12  people in our community and help them. They also say that young people today don’t  13  about anything or anyone. However, I think the reason why we looked after older people was that we had no 14  . People had to live with their  15  and grandparents because they had no money. Young people today earn more and have more  16   to live where they want.
Their second argument is that in our day we didn’t expect （盼望，期待）to be given jobs -----and that young people now don’t look for jobs, but just complain（抱怨） about  17   . On the other hand, things were easier in the past and it was always easy to get a job if you had friends and contacts（關(guān)系）. It is really   18 today.
In conclusion I think there is hope for the  19  . This generation, like generations before them, has new  20  as well as old problems. If they learn from our mistakes the world will be a better place in future.

In 1993 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(動畫片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said “Stop! That’s our duck!”
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(貪婪的), and because he lost his temper (發(fā)脾氣) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s  eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.
In the 1930S, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.
41. Who made Donald Duck film? ______
A. Mickey Mouse.                 B. Clarence Nash.
C. Walt Disney.                   D. Pluto.
42. When was the first Donald Duck film made? ______
A. In 1933.         B. In 1934.        C. In 1966.        D. In 1930.

A. A cartoonist.                    B. Donald Duck’s voice.

Half a century ago, during the Sino-Japanese War, I was a student at National Southwest Associated University at Kunming in southern China, Lectures were often accompanied by the pitter-patter of rain on the tin roofs of the classrooms; that mud floors were full of holes; and wind blew through paneless windows. As for the library, it was a bare skeleton. A good reference book was used for years and journals usually arrived after a couple of years’ delay.
But despite such hardship, I had the best of my student days in Kunming. Although we were short of research materials, we were uncompromising（堅定的）in our pursue of knowledge and truth. I spent six years at Southwest and obtained my first and second degrees in physics here. I still value those days fervently. In fact it was at Southwest that I first came across Reader’s Digest. To me, the magazine’s insistence on perfection both in style and accuracy—as well as its celebration of life even in the face of hardship—is similar to the values I learned at Southwest.
Later, I went to the United States to study under Enrich Ferimi, the famous physicist who directed the world’s first nuclear chain reaction. One of the first things Ferimi emphasized to me was that physics shouldn’t be so overwhelming（壓倒性的）that it is beyond the average man. Physics research, he said, should be connected with our daily lives and physicists should devote most of their efforts to solving practical problems. I couldn’t agree more. Indeed, I think this simple, close-to-life.
Approach applies other attempts too. Reader’s Digest is highly informative, but it is easy to read, and easy to understand, never exaggerating or mystifying. This truthful, down-to earth quality is what I treasure now.
小題1:What is the author?

A．A soldier

B．A teacher

C．An editor

D．A physicist

小題2: Which of the following is NOT true of the National Southwest Associated University?

A．The mud floors of the classrooms were uneven.	B．Its classroom windows had no glass.
C．The only thing its library had was a skeleton.
D．It was short of research materials.

小題3: What was the first thing Ferimi emphasized to the author?

A．Physics research should be related to daily lives.

B．Physics should not be considered as the most important course.

C． Theoretical problems need solving first.

D．The results of physics research could be used in the national defense.

小題4: What does the author think of Reader’s Digest?

A．It is far from perfect in style or accuracy.

B．It devotes its efforts to solving practical problems.

C．It gives much information.

D．Its language is simple, but beautifully written.
