Roger Alvarez, 22, was one of the 52 percent of students who didn’t make it through his senior year at Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles.
He dropped out several years ago, but by the time he was in ninth grade, Alvarez says he already knew he wasn’t going to graduate.
“There’s a certain amount of knowledge you have to have when you enter in a specific grade, and I didn’t have it.” Alvarez says,“Every class I used to go in, I was like, ‘Do I know this? I don’t know this.’”
It was a shameful attitude, he tells his former English teacher, Antero Garcia, 29.
“You were determined to help me, but what was I willing to give? I could have actually tried.”
For his part, Garcia wants to know how he could have reached out to Alvarez better, but Alvarez says Garcia had always been helpful.
“I mean, you could cheer me up, and then I see other students doing way better,” Alvarez says,“So then, I get nervous. I get stuck, and then my motivation goes to the floor.” He felt the situation was hopeless.
“You talked to me like if I could do it, but inside me, I knew I couldn’t.” he tells Garcia,“I just didn’t want you to think that I’m…stupid.”
Now, school is a life tool that Alvarez says he’s missing—but his teacher isn’t to blame.
“Always, I just wanted you to know…you were a good teacher, and I always respected you.” he tells Garcia,“Some teachers, I felt like they only wanted to teach a certain group of people. But you looked at me and you paid attention.”
“Maybe it didn’t get me to graduate, but there’re a lot of teachers, they don’t take the time to take a look. And it was never your fault.”
Alvarez now works the night shift at a loading dock(碼頭). He still hopes to get his degree one day.
小題1:When Alvarez entered a grade, he was sure that ___________.
A．he wasn’t going to pass the class
B．he would do better than other students
C．he might learn an amount of knowledge
D．he would try his best to learn at class
小題2:By saying “my motivation goes to the floor”,  Alvarez meant __________.
A．he hid his goal from othersB．he lost heart gradually
C．he built up his motivationD．he fell to the ground completely
小題3:In the opinion of Alvarez, most teachers _______.
A．paid no attention to teachingB．had no time to read books
C．didn’t care about what he didD．showed no respect to students
小題4:The passage mainly tells us that _________.
A．a dropout complains about being treated badly
B．a dropout plans to get his degree again
C．a dropout shows respect for not graduating
D．a dropout has thanks to his teacher not blame

Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.
Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.
The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. “Maybe I could go as Superman,” he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She has avoided buying the expensive costume(戲裝), but finally she agreed.
The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.
The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it, “If you can dream it, you can do it.”
It doesn’t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.
小題1:What do we know about Tom?
A．He was seriously ill.
B．He was a dishonest boy.
C．He was crazy about magic.
D．He was Dr. Epstein’s patient.
小題2:What can be inferred about Tom’s mother?
A．She was a rich lady.
B．She refused Tom’s request.
C．She wanted Tom to be a superhero.
D．She wanted to get Tom through the pain.
小題3:When Tom went for the third operation, he_________.
A．pretended to be painfulB．acted like a superhero
C．appeared in poor spiritsD．argued with his mother
小題4:In the last paragraph, you are advised________.
A．to go through some difficult tests
B．to wake up from your wild dreams
C．to become a powerful person in your mind
D．to wear expensive clothes for job interviews

You’re finishing up your history homework when your cell phone rings. You’ve got 30 minutes to reach head-quarters, get your equipment packed and receive your task. There’s a lost hiker in the mountains near the edge of town. Your task: find the missing person; provide emergency medical treatment, if necessary; and be prepared to operate 48 hours on your own with only the supplies you carry.
Sounds like some kind of film’s plot? Not if you’re a member of the Arapahoe teen rescue patrol in the suburbs of Denver. About 25 teen guys and girls are active members of this search, rescue and emergency organization, and they know firsthand that you don’t have to be an adult to save lives.
These 9th-through-12th graders are the real deal when it comes to emergency services. In fact, they’re the only teen-commanded patrol in the nation. Sure they have adult advisers to turn to if necessary, but in the field it’s a teen patrol officer calling the shots — sometimes even giving direction to adults.
Members are trained in rock-high-angle，swift-water and avalanche rescue (雪崩施行營救), winter and alpine operation , wilderness life support and emergency care, among other skills. They also regularly ride along with the local fire and police departments, providing support such as security details and evidence searching.
When asked what qualities make a good patrol member, founder and president Stan Bush named good physical conditioning and an interest in helping people. “We put in lots and lots of hours helping people in trouble,” he says. “So if a person is not really interested in doing that kind of thing, he won’t last as a member.”
小題1:In the first paragraph, the author describes ______.
A．a plot in some kind of filmB．a teen patrol member’s life
C．an emergency rescueD．a lost hiker in trouble
小題2:Which of the following is NOT true about the Arapahoe teen rescue patrol?
A．They are trained to have many special skills.
B．They also work with local firemen and policemen.
C．They turn to adults for help sometimes.
D．They think they can save lives only when growing up.
小題3:If you want to become a good rescue patrol member, you must ______.
A．be strong and interested in offering help
B．be a 9th-through-12th grader
C．finish your history homework first
D．spend many hours helping people first
小題4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．What qualities make a good patrol member?

My husband’s niece is 13 and what I would call “a handful”. She wants to stay with us for while, and her mother and grandmother have told me what a great influence I would be on her.

I don t feel comfortable hosting her, but I don 3r know how to tell my husband’s family members without hurting their feelings.
-Reluctant Aunt
Dear Reluctant,
Let’s get you out of this mess. Your husband’s family is making a request that borders on a demand and sugarcoating it with self-serving flattery (恭維）? Put your foot down, and tell the truth.

Dear Mindful,
Lighten up! Your older stepdaughter is a considerate and generous sister who covers for and protects her younger sister. Good for her! The girls’ relationship is between them.

Xu Hui is very excited. The Senior 1 student in a middle school in Beijing will go to South Korea with his parents during the Spring Festival.
“Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.
Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.
Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(國家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes(路線).
By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.
The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.
“More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak(高峰) in European tours.”
Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association(CCA, 中國消費者協(xié)會) offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.
“Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations(名聲) and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.
Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies(旅行社) last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.
Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts(合同) with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保險).
小題1:How many reasons are given in the article as to why ordinary Chinese people are traveling abroad more today?
A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.
小題2:According to the passage, what is the biggest problem Chinese travelers face when going overseas?
A．Choosing the best travel agent.
B．Deciding the best way to get to the places they want to go to.
C．Traveling to Europe.
D．Cost.
小題3:According to the passage, what seems to be the most common result of choosing a bad travel agency?
A．People buy more souvenirs than they had planned to.
B．People spend more money than they had planned to.
C．People go to different places than they had planned to.
D．People complained more than they had planned to.
小題4:The underlined part “random changes” probably means that _______.
A．the travelers agreed with the changes.
B．the travel agency didn’t make any changes.
C．the travel agency refused to changes the routes.
D．the travel agency changed the routes or time without following the original plan.
小題5: What would be a good title for this passage?
A．Xu Hui’s Vacation in South Korea
B．The Job of the National Tourism Administration
C．Where Young Chinese Travelers Go
D．Suggestions for the Chinese Travelers

There’s no shortage of web sites offering deals-everything from daily deals to members-only private sales. But when it comes to real jaw-dropping deals, there’s one company that seems to have figured out a way to really deliver.
The company is called Quibids and they auction（拍賣）the hottest, in-demand electronics like Apple ipads and ipods, as well as other items like gift cards from the top retailers（零售商）. Unlike other sites, the prices people pay are nowhere near retail. How low are the prices?
$ 33.84 for a new Apple ipad 32 GB（retail $ 600）
$ 22.10 for a new Nikon D90 Digital SLR Camera（retail $ 1070）
Our first reaction on seeing these prices was disbelief. After all, how could Quibids possibly afford to sell these items for so little ---- surely they must be losing a lot of money.
That’s where its unique business model comes into play. You see, for every bid a buyer places for an item on Quibids, the company collects a small fee from the bidder. The fee to bid is only about 60 cents, but based on the volume of sales and bids, the company is able to collect enough to make up for the ridiculous prices the items sell for.
But best of all, participating in the Quibids auction is incredibly fun. Because each bid costs a little to place, shoppers can strategize when to place their bids. Each auction has a strict time limit. When you place your bid, the system adds a little time to the auction to see if any other bids come in. If you have the winning bid when the clock runs out ---- you win the item for that price.
But the best part of Quibids may be the “Buy-It-Now” feature. This allows bidders who did not win an auction to still buy the product they want and apply the cost of the bids they placed as a discount on the regular product price. So you still get the item and the bids you placed previously in the auction don’t cost you anything!
小題1:According to the passage, the success of Quibids mainly lies in          .
A．how its buying and selling is conducted B．the change in people’s shopping model
C．the quality of the goods and serviceD．their willingness to risk losing money
小題2:It can be inferred from the passage that          .
A．other retailers will be out of business B．winning a bid is not just a matter of luck
C．Quibids only sell popular electronicsD．the prices on Quibids are the lowest
小題3:A buyer who bid twice for a $ 20 MP4 can get one from “Buy-It-Now” for          .
A．$ 21.2B．$ 20C．$ 19.4D．$ 18.8
小題4:Which might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A．Buy Products for Next to Nothing B．How to Buy New Must–have Electronics
C．The Most Successful Shopping WebsiteD．Tips on Shopping Online

Christmas is long gone. and Valentine’s Day is a distant memory. That means it's a slow time for jewelers, and a good time for you to make a purchase. Whether you’re out shopping for gold, or silver, here fife a few things you need to know:
What determines price?
The purity of the metal is one of the elements that determines the price. Gold purity is indicated with a stamp of 10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K. And different countries have their own standards. For example, for a piece to be considered gold in the US, it must be at least 10K. In Britain and Canada: 9K. In Italy and France: l 8K. Anything over l 8K is really too soft for everyday wear. That’s why jewelry stores in the US sell mostly 14K.
How much can you expect to pay?
That depends on the weight of the metal and the gemstone(寶石). So keep that in mind, especially when buying online. To keep yourself from getting ripped off, ask yourself the following:
●How long has the company been around?
●What is its return policy?
● Is the jewelry featured on the website visible from all directions?
● Is the company transparent with the gram weights and the size of the gemstones?
Yellow gold? White? Rose?
Yes, it's confusing, and while this is largely a personal decision, there fife a few things to keep in mind. For starters. white or rose gold costs about l 0% more than yellow gold. If you want the “l(fā)ook for less”, consider gold. plated jewelry. “Gold plated” and “gold overlay” mean the same thing and guarantee a thicker layer of finish than “vermeil” which is a flash finish that is thinner and less consistent, but more affordable. Buy vermeil finished pieces you want for a season or two just to follow the fashion. For pieces you want to wear for a lifetime, solid gold is best.
What about sterling silver(標準純銀)?
Sterling silver has been。an alternative for white gold during the difficult economy, and while it used to be more popular with just the younger these days it has much more mass appeal. So much so that retailers are now offering fine gemstones with silver--something you used to see only with gold.
Keep in mind that in the US. the sterling silver standard is 92.5% real silver. Don’t buy it if there isn’t a “925” stamp on it. And keep in mind that the lower price you’re paying for silver means more maintenance. To keep silver jewelry from becoming less shiny, consider keeping a piece of chalk in your jewelry box.
小題1:According to the passage, the underlined phrase “getting ripped off” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______”.
A．being chargedB．being cheatedC．being affected D．being attracted
小題2:Which of the following is relatively good for only wearing a short time?
A．A 14K necklace. B．A gold-plated ring.
C．A vermeil ear ring. D．A gemstone necklace.
小題3:We call infer from the last paragraph that silver jewelry should be kept ________
A．in a dry placeB．in a cold placeC．in a wet placeD．in a hot place
小題4:The author writes the passage mainly to ________.
A．encourage young people to buy fashionable jewelry
B．tell people the best time to purchase gold and silver
C．introduce the real value and popularity of gold and silver
D．inform people of the factors to consider in buying jewelry
