When I was seven years old my mom was diagnosed(診斷) with cancer. The doctors told us my mom might be saved with surgery(手術(shù)). But it could also kill her. She chose to have it.
The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come and see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. We had a picnic in the park, and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was really happy. I would never forget her smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations we shared.
My mother managed to live through the surgery. Now when I look back, I realize that the best day of my life could be her last and this could be the last day I would remember with her, the last one we shared. I also understand how unselfish a mother is.
小題1: Who made the decision to have the surgery in the story?
A．The doctors.B．The patient. C．The writer.D．The patient’s family.
小題2:What did the writer’s mother do the day before the surgery?
A．She stayed at home to have a good rest.
B．She went to the doctor’s for advice.
C．She turned to her family for comfort.
D．She stayed all day with her child.
小題3: Why was the writer’s mother happy that day?
A．Because she left her child a special memory.
B．Because she realized her child had grown up.
C．Because she was proud of what her child had done.
D．Because she expected the surgery to be successful.
小題4:The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that ______.
A．her mother was ill againB．the surgery was unsuccessful
C．her mother was getting betterD．the surgery was simple
小題5: Which of the following words best describes the writer’s mother?
A．Hardworking.B．Famous.C．Rich.D．Great.

小題1:B
小題1:D
小題1:A
小題1:C

小題1:根據(jù)The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life,及下文描述，可知作者的母親和他在一起度過了一整天，故選D。
小題1:通過閱讀短文可知，作者的母親之所以這樣做，是因?yàn)閾?dān)心手術(shù)不成功，故這樣做主要是為了給作者留下一個好印象。選A。

For many years I had a good life. My illness was reasonably (適度的) under control, I had a nice relationship with my husband, I did work, I didn't hate. It was, as I said, a good life.
But there's a saying that the good is the enemy of the best. I finally realized this one day, and began making my best life. I changed doctors and tried a new way that could relieve(減輕) my symptoms (癥狀) , rather than just making them easier to deal with. I started talking more with my husband and listening to what he had to say. And I quit(辭掉) my job and started working for myself.
I have the best life I've ever had. I'd call it great. It is possible there's a better life for me, which would then be my "best life" , but for now I don't think so. I've started a business I love. My husband and kids are wonderful. I have a good friend and I'm close to my older sister who lives in town. Could it get better? I suppose so. But for me I think this is the best life I can have right now.
Think more about your life. Where are you living? Are you in a job you just don't mind? What makes your life "good" ? Why isn't it great? What's the enemy of the best and what can you do about it?
Enjoy your best life. We're only here for a short while, and we all need to have the best possible time we can. It's like going to Disney World. If you spend too much time standing in line waiting for the ride, pretty soon your time's up. Get out of the "good" line and have your best life.
小題1:Which of the following is NOT included in the writer's "good life" ?
A．Having a job.B．Having no hate.
C．Getting on well with her husband.D．Living close to her good friend.
小題2:The writer quit her job because she________.
A．was illB．didn't like working
C．wanted to go for her best lifeD．wanted to enjoy her good life
小題3:What did the writer do to make her best life?
①She visited other doctors.
②She started a business she loved.
③She played more with her kids.
④She talked more with her husband.
⑤She spent much time in Disney World.
A．①②④B．②③④C．①③⑤D．①②⑤
小題4: What's the enemy of the best?
A．Illness.B．A good job.C．Being proud.D．Being satisfied.
小題5:What is the best title for the article?
A．Attitude to LifeB．Making Your Best Life
C．What Makes Your Life "Good"D．A New Way to Treat the Illness

It’s a goal for millions and millions of families every year to keep the Christmas spending within a certain amount of money, but you can still afford the gifts because your loved ones will enjoy them. This concern (憂慮) is becoming greater and greater theses days. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.

Hit the sales. No one wants to get up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get a good deal (交易) on Black Friday ( the first Friday at Christmas time). It’s surely very difficult to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal. But sometimes it can be well worth. Many retailers (零售商) offer specials all through the day. Some even offer online Black Friday specials, so we may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.
Read advertisements regularly. Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers will be hungry for business. They will try their best to get us into the store. Please read the weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers from time to time. We may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.
Shop online. Some of us don’t like running from store to store to get the best price on the perfect gift. Some of us don’t like to go out in the cold at all, and then, we can do online shopping.
The world of online shopping makes it possible for us to visit all the major retailers and some
specialty stores on the Internet. We can find exactly what we are looking for at the best possible price without even having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping, it will always take us a long time to wait if we want to get the perfect gift.
小題1: The underlined word “specials” in Paragraph 2 means______.
A．贈品B．奢侈品C．特價商品D．圣誕禮品
小題2:We can have more choices to get a good deal ______.
A．on the Internet B．in specialty stores C．from salesmenD．from retailers
小題3:In this passage the writer wants to ______.
A．tell us to shop online
B．tell us the best way to do shopping
C．show us how hard it is to do Christmas shopping
D．give us advice on how to get a good deal at Christmas time
小題4: From the passage we can infer (推斷) that ______.
A．people are surely able to get a good deal on Friday
B．it is possible for people to buy the perfect Christmas gifts with less money
C．retailers will be hungry because they are busy selling Christmas gifts
D．with traditional Christmas shopping, people can’t buy the perfect gifts

Do you know why you sleep? You may think it’s because you’re tired. Or perhaps you’ve been told sleep is good for you. Yet no one knows exactly why or how people sleep.
Until the early 1950s, most scientists thought the body and brain rested during sleep. Then a scientist watched people sleep. He noticed that during periods of between 5 and 30 minutes each, sleepers’ eyes made rapid movements, as if they were watching something. He called these periods REM sleep, for Rapid Eye Movement. Periods when sleepers’ eyes did not move he called non-REM sleep.
Whenever the scientist woke people during REM sleep, they were having vivid dreams. Measurements showed that sleepers’ pulses（脈搏）went up quickly during REM sleep. Their breathing, heartbeat, and the blood going to the brain also increased. Far from being a time of rest, REM sleep is a time when the body is hard at work. Scientists still don’t know the reason for this. Some believe REM sleep makes learning easier. Babies spend a lot of time in REM sleep. Because of this, some scientists believe that REM sleep helps the brain grow. Others think REM sleep is a time for the brain to empty the day’s garbage.
One thing all the scientists agree on is that sleep is necessary. Without enough sleep, people make mistakes. Most major car accidents happen during the early morning hours, when people are sleepiest.
小題1:During REM sleep, a person’s breathing and heartbeat ________.
A．stopB．increaseC．decreaseD．stay the same
小題2:Which word in paragraph（段落）3 means “colorful and lively”?
A．easierB．emptyC．vividD．quickly
小題3:Which paragraph tells what happens when people don’t get enough sleep?
A．1B．2C．3D．4
小題4:What is the main idea of the article?
A．REM sleep helps the brain grow.
B．REM sleep has been watched and recorded by scientists.
C．REM sleep is a time to empty the day’s garbage.
D．REM sleep is an active time when the body is hard at work.
小題5:You can decide from the article that REM sleep ________.
A．has a restful effect on people
B．can be avoided with lots of sleep
C．is something that all people experience
D．is something that all scientists agree on
