【題目】One year ago, I had a special English lesson hold at the railway station. It was quite different from the regular English classes we were familiar to, for we had no textbooks, no blackboard or no fixed seats.

Gathering at the entrance of the station, we told to collect as many English words and sentences as possible here. Curious and excited, we walked around the station and looked everywhere, search for any information in English. Whenever an English word comes into sight, the class would burst into the cheers as if we had discovered a new world. With the Chinese translation and vividly pictures, we could figure out its meaning with ease.

Now, this unforgettable lesson still encourages me to be an active learner where I go.

【題目】閱讀理解。

Dear Mr. Wolfson，

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of one of our citizens who I believe should receive some special recognition for dedicated (敬業(yè)的) community service. The person I recommend is Elizabeth Samuelson. I believe you know her in your position as volunteer coordinator (協(xié)調(diào)員)．

I have known Elizabeth for more than 20 years as both a friend and a neighbor. During that time I have seen her work tirelessly on scores of community projects and committees. As far as I know, she has never received any kind of recognition from the community for her work. I believe she should be given some sort of special recognition.

Just last year alone, she worked on at least six different community projects including the Park Renewal Project and the Heritage Homes FundRaising Banquet. In addition, she is a weekly driver for the MealsonWheels program and she visits patients in the care unit on a regular basis. Whenever a project or committee needs her, she will put herself into the work wholeheartedly. I'm sure that if you check with a few of your staff members who have been there over the years, they will confirm Elizabeth's community service record and probably be able to add many examples to the few I have given here. By the way, Elizabeth has no idea that I am writing this. She is a humble (謙虛的) person, and if she were aware of it, she would not allow me to send it.

I thought about writing such a letter about her a nmber of times in the past but just never took action. Then last week, I noticed in the paper that you sponsor (主辦) an annual dinner at which dozens of awards are given out to people with much less community service than Elizabeth. In fact, I checked with her and she has never even been invited to that annual event!

I urge you to correct that omission (疏忽) now and take action to see that Elizabeth is properly recognized for her many years of silent but outstanding service to this community.

Sincerely，

Linda Sullivan

【題目】I was in the ninth year when I began to suffer depression. My parents noticed but felt that since I'd always been 【1】 good child, this was temporary.

【2】 (fortunate), it was not to be so. I didn't have friends. Hardly could I share my problems. Deep worry began to destroy my _【3】 (confident). Finally I refused to attend classes, 【4】(shut) myself in my room for hours.

The examination was approaching, but I simply didn't care. My parents and teachers were surprised at my bad performance. One morning, 【5】 a particularly severe lecture from my father, I stood at the school gate, 【6】 (depress). Then as the other students marched to their classrooms, our headmaster called me. The next fortyfive minutes was one 【7】 the most precious moments in my life. She said she 【8】 (notice) a big change in me and wondered why. At first she took my hands in 【9】 (she) and listened patiently as I mentioned my worries. Then she hugged me as I wept. Months of frustration and loneliness disappeared in her motherly hug.

No one had tried to understand what the real problem was except the headmaster,_【10】 helped me out simply by listening and hugging.
