It is not easy for people to sail (航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents can happen easily and quickly.
One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. Luckily these people had another small boat——a lifeboat, so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped. At last people in a ship saved them.
How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time? They must be strong in every way, they must have a hope, and they must have a strong desire（愿望）to live. People cannot drink seawater. If they drink a lot of sea water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. So people can not cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw (生的) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food. They must eat raw food, or they will die.
小題1:When the boat sank (下沉), the lifeboat gave the people _______.
A．foodB．bedsC．rainwaterD．hope
小題2:One family once had an accident at sea, because _______.
A．their boat met bad weatherB．their boat hit a big rock and it was broken
C．nobody knew how to sailD．a(chǎn) fish bit holes in their boat
小題3: People can catch _______ for food and drink at sea in a lifeboat.
A. fish and birds                    B rainwater
C. both sea water and rainwater        D. both A and B
小題4:From the article (文章) we can know that ______.
A．It’s not interesting to sail around the world.
B．Fish in the sea are so dangerous.
C．we must have a strong desire（愿望）to live when we are in danger.
D．Nobody knows when we will die.

小題1:D
小題2:D

“Homestay is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local(當?shù)氐? family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability,” said a teacher during a school meeting last term.” Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed(失望的).”
After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.
As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.
The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.
The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.
小題1:In the “homestay” program, a visitor can _____.

It was 12:45 pm on January 2, 2007. 50-year-old Wesley Autrey was waiting for the train at a subway station in New York. His two daughters, aged four and six, were with him.
Suddenly, a sick man fell down on the platform (站臺). The man, 20-year-old Cameron Hollopeter, got up, but then fell again—this time, onto the track between the two rails (道軌). A train was coming into the station. It was a frightening moment.
But Mr Autrey wasn’t frightened. He looked at the man and the space that the man was in. It was about half a meter deep. And he thought, “The train is going to travel over this man. If he tries to get up, the train will kill him. But if he lies on the ground and doesn’t move, he’ll be OK.” So he got an idea.
He jumped down and kept Mr Hollopeter down on the ground. The train driver saw them. He was terrified, but he couldn’t stop in time. The train traveled over the two men before it stopped.
The people on the platform were surprised. When Mr Autrey heard them screaming, he shouted, “We’re OK down here, but I’ve got two daughters up there. Let them know their father is OK.”
In an interview on a TV show, Mr Autrey said, “The only thing that happened to me was my blue hat got dirty.”
小題1:Why did Mr Hollopeter fall on the platform and then the track?
A．Because he was ill.B．Because he walked so fast.
C．Because he was too old.D．Because the subway station was so crowed.
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Mr Autrey was so frightened when he saw what had happened.
B．Mr Autrey thought the space that the man was in was about one meter deep.
C．The train driver saw the two men but he couldn’t stop the train in time.

“You speak very good English”
The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English. “You  1 very good English.” But the student answered, “ No, my English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite
  2 at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself  3 or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak it very well.” But the Chinese student still  4 saying  “No”.  5 the foreigner gave up and didn’t know what to say.
What’s wrong with the student’s answer? It is because he didn’t accept a compliment as the American people  6 . He should have said “Thank you” instead of “No”. He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If someone says to a woman, “ You look  7 beautiful with the new clothes  8 .” she should be very happy and answer, “Thank you.” In our country we think  9 modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad behavior. But in the West, if you are modest and say, “ No,   10 I can’t do it well,” then the others will take it for granted (理所當然)that you  11 can not do it. If you often say,“No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by  12 . When  13 for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try on the job”, he or she can expect to get it. So in the West, one should always be confident.  14 self-confidence, he can’t go anywhere. Confidence is of great  15 to one in a country where competition is quite keen.(激烈)
