Ben and his wife Susan were on their way to have dinner with their friends. It was a dark，windy night, and they did not know the way very well. They drove through a town until they found what they thought was the road to Dorling，where their friends lived. But it soon became clear that they were not on the road to Dorling at all. The road that they were on was getting narrower，and there were no other cars on it. The wind was blowing harder with every minute that passed.
They came to a small village .They drove past a church and then two houses without lights on. There was nobody about to tell them where they were，or where the road went. Just then，Ben saw a telephone box，twenty meters or so further on. While he walked back along the road to see if there was a name outside the church，Susan telephoned their friends and told them that they were still on their way.
Their friends were just saying that the dinner was already getting rather cold，when Ben came back to the telephone box，his head down against the wind. He said that there was a tree lying across the road，and that the telephone lines were down. Susan heard nothing more from their friends about the dinner.
小題1:Some time later Ben and Susan found they took a wrong road because ________.

Actually we have known a lot of examples and meaningful words to support the fact that we should try our best to ease the bad impression of others. Just like the old saying goes, we should give a better assumption to the one than we think he was. But many of us always fail to do this.
Take the situation of my class for example. Right at the beginning of the first semester when we were freshmen we all showed great favor to each other. And when there was an activity that needed some people to join, we would be willing to attend whether it was interesting or not. And we were really like brothers and sisters, and our class was just like a family, a warm family. But now, I feel tired of those meaningless activities not only because of the boring activities themselves but also the cool response of our classmates.
I think the reasons why the passion of most classmates is so low may be as follows:
To start with, many of us take part in more than one organization, which will certainly make us tired. Also, in the study fields, many of us may find that our courses are sometimes difficult to understand or comprehend, especially the specialized subjects. Moreover, “history” teaches us that if one does not study hard, it is possible to fail in the exams. So it is a big and good excuse to say that “I do really want to attend, but I have a lot of homework to do, so...”
Last but not least, some people believe that some of our leaders should not be regarded as a leader, maybe I should say we, as leaders, lost the reputation, support and trust of yours. At least I am the warm-hearted one, although I cannot promise you that your advice will be adopted surely, at least I will spare no effort to “give” you the right to be heard, and to serve you.
Be active to show your talents and abilities and to create a better image of our class. Most important of all, work painstakingly for a better condition that we should have reached.
小題1:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Students’ passion for activities was high at first but disappeared gradually.
B．Students’ passion for activities grew gradually because they were interesting.
C．Students were too busy to take part in activities after their classes.
D．Students were unwilling to participate in activities because of their leaders.
小題2:We can infer from the passage that the writer must be ______.
A．a(chǎn) supporter of activitiesB．a(chǎn) responsible teacher
C．a(chǎn) top student in classD．a(chǎn) devoted class leader
小題3:The writer hopes that all the members of the class will ______.
A．develop better talents and skillsB．improve their abilities and creativity
C．work together to make a better class D．a(chǎn)dopt others’ advice patiently

Rather than talk about how he feels, often a man would express his love by buying the woman cosmetics (化妝品), or bringing home a flower, or giving up the control of the remote (遙控器).
And when men do talk, they’d prefer to talk about actions rather than emotions. For example, a lot of men would choose to express their long-range faith in a relationship by talking about next summer’s vacation plans, not by starting a conversation about undying love.
Men just prefer to say their plans with plane tickets, rather than poetry. It’s one of the reasons why men are more comfortable talking at work (the practical world) than they are at home (the castle that emotion built). But you can bring out his great communicator by making him feel more like he’s operating in the work mode, even when the topic at hand is your love life.
When men talk less and women want more, the conflict can escalate. Like when a policeman is questioning an unwilling witness, more silence equals more questions. A full 65 percent of men we surveyed recently told us that they don’t want their partners to ask them more questions about themselves.
It’s clear that some men are just tired of feeling like they’re on the witness stand. They’re not necessarily hiding anything; many men simply prefer not to have to tell confusing feelings that they may not even understand themselves.
An age-old method can make things better: back off a little, give him room to operate in a conversation, and he’s more likely to open up.
小題1:According to the author, men feel more comfortable when talking        .
A．a(chǎn)ctionsB．feelings
C．long-term friendshipD．conversations
小題2:How can women communicate more successfully with men?
A．They may give men a surprise by buying plane tickets.
B．They can ask men if they have a great time during working.
C．They might create a warm home environment first of all.
D．They can give men the feeling that they are talking at work.
小題3:The underlined word “escalate” has the similar meaning to       .
A．decreaseB．disappearC．changeD．increase
小題4:From the text it can be inferred that       .
A．women are better at writing poems about emotions than men
B．it is natural for women to be fond of finding the faults of men
C．men are more interested in learning more about their partners
D．men prefer to pour out their hearts in a forgiving environment

At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that “our family” was living in a trailer(拖車) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced.
We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house – something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?" Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, "I just want a bed."
The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.
That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.
As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?"
"A pillow," she replied.
"What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask.
"When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.
"Oh . . . that's soft," he said, hugging it tightly.
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my Dad gently asks, "Do you have a pillow?"
We know exactly what he means.
小題1:The writer’s first volunteer project was         .
A．working on a poor trailer
B．helping a poor family
C．donating beds and bedding
D．dealing with a housing problem
小題2:On hearing Josh’s answer, the writer was shocked because         .
A．the family lived in a trailer
B．he expected to get some toys
C．he didn’t know what a bed was
D．the boys had no bed to sleep in
小題3:From the passage, we can learn that Eric had never seen       before.
A．a(chǎn) trailerB．a(chǎn) truckC．a(chǎn) pillowD．a(chǎn) house
小題4:By saying “Do you have a pillow?”, the writer’s father means that        .
A．what they want to get may be unnecessary
B．they should not waste money on small things
C．they should do more volunteer work for the poor
D．what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow

Who says constant texting is just a bad habit? The teenager with the fastest thumbs in the country was crowned on Wednesday at the LG US National Texting Championship in New York City, winning ＄50,000 after a series of fierce texting battles.
16-year-old Austin Wiershke comes from Rhinelander, Wisconsin of the United States. He took home the top prize at the fifth annual texting event, beating 11 other competitors in the final, including last year’s champion Brianna Hendrickson from Brooklyn, New York.
Wiershke, who was wearing a gray shirt and having Justin Bieber’s hairstyle, sailed through each level of the competition by typing passages of text on a QWERTY keyboard rapidly without any mistaken. One special round even included being blindfolded(蒙眼) on the state to make up phrases by memory.
“I’m extremely nervous,” Wiershke said while waiting for the results after the final round. “I’m getting ready to hear Brianna’s name. When I heard my name was announced, I really couldn’t believe my ears.” After the announcement was made, confetti(五彩紙屑) dropped from the ceiling and Wiershke was met on the stage by the singer who said that she liked texting very much. She was Ashley Tisdale, a famous and beautiful singer, who awarded him his check.
In August, a film on Music Television called “Thumbs” took a behind-the –scenes look at the teenager’s life. It shows how he practiced texting to be the fastest. The film followed a series of young texting competitors, including Brianna Hendrickson, in the weeks leading up to this year’s LG US National Texting Championship.

During communication, “words” express only 7% of meanings between people. About 23% of meanings are from the “tone of voice” and 70% of meanings come from “body language”. So next time you want someone’s attention—try body language instead.
Everyone does it, and most interestingly—most do it unconsciously. You may wonder: “Does that mean I have to study psychology to succeed in reading body language?” The answer is “no” because most people are already body language readers.
It’s a skill developed since we’re babies—think of how most babies can recognize facial expressions and get attention without saying anything. That is, you needn’t spend most of your time practicing some of your body language cues(暗示)!
However, you should know that the context(語境) is king. It suggests that, depending on the context of the situation, people will hide body language cues. So sometimes cues can be tricky: a woman who locks her arms may think you are boring—or she may just feel cold. You must learn to read into the context as well as the cues. Sometimes people care more about their body language cues. For example, poker(撲克牌戲) players will consciously hide more of their body language cues.
The first place to start when reading a person’s body language is the face. The easiest way to hide your feelings is to cover your face. This is why it’s sometimes hard to tell if an Islamic girl likes you.
If the eyes are the windows of the mind, the eyebrows(眉毛) are the windows of the eyes. So, notice how a person’s eyebrows will generally rise when they meet someone, see something they like or are surprised at. Eyes generally smile along with the mouth when someone is happy, so everyone knows “^ . ^”.
小題1:The first paragraph is mainly to show _____.
A．how to express your meanings clearly
B．how to draw other’s attention
C．the importance of body language
D．the role of words in communication
小題2:Most of the time in our daily life, we ______.
A．find body language very interesting
B．don’t realize we’re using body language
C．hardly use any body language
D．use body language on purpose
小題3:What does the saying “the context is king” suggest?
A．The context results from body language.
B．The context makes body language difficult.
C．The context helps when reading body language.
D．The context is more important than body language.
小題4:Who will hide their body language cues on purpose according to the text?
A．ScientistsB．Farmers.C．Teachers.D．Poker players.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition．Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity．Others say that competition is bad, that it sets one person against another, that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people．
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them, playing well and winning are often, life-and-death affairs．In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition．Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society．Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success．By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try．"What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth． Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve （緩解） can we discover a new meaning in competition ．
小題1:What does this passage mainly talk about?
A．Competition helps to set up self-respect．
B．Opinions about competition are different among people．
C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development．
D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition．
小題2:Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A．It builds up a sense of duty．
B．It pushes society forward．
C．It improves personal abilities．
D．It encourages individual efforts．
小題3:The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means ____．
A．those who try their best to win
B．those who value competition most highly
C．those who are against competition most strongly
D．those who rely on others most for success
小題4:What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a "desire to fail"?
A．One's worth lies in his performance compared with others'．
B．One's success in competition needs great efforts．
C．One's achievement is determined by his particular skills．
D．One's success is based on how hard he has tried．
小題5:Which point of view may the author agree to?
A．Every effort should be paid back．

C．Winning should be a life-and-death matter．

Beach volleyball is one of those sports that can be an exciting game to play and watch, or, can just be about some friends getting together to have a great time. It’s really easy, and all you need is sand, a net and a group of people, of any age or fitness level, who want to have fun.
Beach volleyball can be played with as few as two people on each team, making a total of four people. However, if you are less skilled and experienced in the game, it will be easier to play with a larger team. The more players you have, the less ground each person will be responsible(負責)for covering and the more time they will have to recover in between shots. If you only have a few players, each of you will get quite a workout running for the ball after each volley. If you are looking for that relaxing, fun, low-key experience, choose larger teams.
Beach volleyball is similar(相似)to regular volleyball in its rules. However, even experienced volleyball players do not realize how much more difficult it is to run and jump on sand. Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard ground, play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a playground. When a player trains for beach volleyball, he will focus(專注)on building lower body strength as well as upper body. While he needs to be able to hit the ball with a great deal of power and accuracy(準確性), strengthening his legs is extremely important.
Whether you are in it for the competition, or just to have a great time with your friends, beach volleyball can be very exciting and fun. You may even start out with friends and fall in love with the sport.
小題1:When you join a large beach volleyball team, you’ll_________.
A．have as many shots as possibleB．improve your volleyball skills
C．be responsible for more groundD．feel light-hearted(輕松)while playing
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．You can hit the ball with much less power when playing beach volleyball.
B．The playground size of beach volleyball is much larger than that of regular volleyball.
C．You can run more quickly when you are playing regular volleyball.
D．The rules of beach volleyball are totally different from those of regular volleyball.
小題3:What does the writer think of beach volleyball?
A．It is a difficult sport to learn.
B．It is a very exciting and interesting sport.
C．It is a sport which needs less power.
D．It is a sport which needs more skills.
小題4:Why is it much slower to play beach volley ball than regular volleyball?  Because _________.
A．it is not an easy job to move on sand
B．it is a workout running for the ball
C．it is usually a larger team
D．the beach volleyball is heavier
小題5:The passage mainly tells us _________.
A．the game of beach volleyball
B．how to become an excellent volleyball player
C．why beach volleyball is one of exciting sports
D．what we should pay attention to when playing beach volleyball
