    I've worked all my life. I've done men's jobs. I've done everything.　　 I've used screw drivers,electric drills, and punch presses. I really know　　 what it means to do man's work. What gets me is, you work all your life　　 like a dog. You pay your taxes into these government programs.

    So I went down to the welfare and told them I needed help. We were　　 living with my son at the time. The welfare people said that since we　　 were staying there, they had to take care of us. If we wanted help, we'd　　 have to move out. The trouble was we didn't have anything at all, and　　 George was in the hospital.

　　 　　 　　

    When I knew I needed some help, I went up here to this place called　　 Hub Center where they're supposed to help people. Well, I told this　　 young kid that was working there that we were starving and didn't have　　 the money to pay our rent or buy our medicine. Well, he started writing　　 something down on a slip of paper, and he wrote for the longest time.　　 Then he gave it to me and he said,"Take this paper to 1631 Vine Street　　 and they'll give you a sandwich."said."Thanks for nothing, kid".

　　 　　 　　

    I never was so embarrassed in all my life. I thought well. I know　　 I have to be going mad. I just have to be, this just can't be happening.

第三部分閱讀理解（共20小題。每小題2分，；滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、Ｂ、Ｃ和Ｄ）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。                           
Everyone has their friends, but I knew one girl who didn't. I guess you could call her a geek, because all she did was reading, studying, and doing homework. I don't think she even played a sport. She was one of those quiet people who no one really paid attention to, and
those who did only made fun of her. I had heard all kinds of rumors (謠言) that she had problems, but I didn't really believe them. I felt bad for her.
My friends and I were nice to her. We let her sit at our lunch table and we often said "Hi" to her, but she wasn't our best friend. Throughout the year, she started talking to us more and more. We continued being kind to her. She was normal as far as I was concerned (就我而言). She was just really quiet.
That summer I got a letter. When I opened it, I realized it was from her. “I just wanted to thank you so much for being so extremely kind and friendly to me this year. Before you
became my friend, I had no one to talk to or sit with at lunch. I even wanted to kill myself. But you and your friends changed that. You made me feel wanted and included. It meant so much to me. I am going to be moving and switching to another school next year. I'll never forget you and what you did."
By the time I finished the letter, I was in shock. I could not believe what I had just read. I learned that the simplest things and the smallest acts of kindness can mean the world to someone else.
56. What kind of person does the underlined word "geek" in Para1 probably refer to?
A. A confident and hardworking student.
B. A dishonest and badly behaved person.
C. Someone is not popular and does strange things
D. Someone is naughty and always makes fun of others.
57. How did the girl feel before the author became her friend？
A. Happy and comfortable.                 B. Pleased and confident.
C. Worried and surprised.                   D. Sad and lonely.
58. From the passage, we learn that the author and her friends ______.
A. helped get the girl out of trouble           B. got the girl to go to another school
C. changed the girl’s the habit of working hard  D. didn't want to help the girl at all
59. What's the best title for the passage？
A. A Strange Girl                          B. A Quiet Heart
C. A Girl without Any Problems              D. Just the littlest Things

Science summer camps are one of the best ways to improve creativity of students and teach them a practical approach towards science and its applications （應(yīng)用）．Students taking part in the camps can learn to appreciate science and technology at an early age, to be better positioned for further learning and finally better prepared to face challenges．Apart from theories, scientific experiments and discussions are encouraged at these camps．

The science summer camps are usually held between June and August and it’s good for parents to start planning their children’s summer camps at least 6 to 7 months in advance．This period of time provides an opportunity for them to do proper research and save money．With more than 2,000 summer camps in the US, there is a wide variety for parents to choose from．If the child doesn’t like biology, there  is no point sending him to an anatomy （解剖學(xué)） science camp．Likewise （同樣地）, if one thinks that his child limits himself to books throughout the school year, he should try and choose camps which provide students with an opportunity to move out in the open and be physically active．To make the task easier, there are many websites which provide online resource materials to help parents select a summer camp that fits the needs of their children．

Generally, a science summer camp costs between $ 150 and $ 500, depending on where the camp is located, how long it lasts and of course what subject it covers．Some of them also provide scholarships （獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金） for bright students to encourage them．
