Later that same day, Hem and Haw arrived. “What? No cheese! Who moved my cheese?” Hem yelled(叫喊). They went home that night __37__and discouraged.
The next day Hem and Haw __38__to Cheese Station C. But the situation hadn’t changed. Haw asked, “Do Sniff and Scurry know something we don’t know?” Hem __39__him and said, “What would they know? They are simple   40   and we are human beings. They cannot be __41__than we are.”
Haw suggested, “Maybe we should   42  talking about the situation and just to look for some new cheese.”
Haw decided to   43  Cheese Station C while Hem was more comfortable staying in the cheese less Station C.
Meanwhile, Sniff and Scurry went farther   44  they found Cheese Station N. They found what they had been looking for. It was the biggest   45  of cheese the mice had ever seen.

For any person who must speak in public, to business or pleasure groups, humor is a helpful, and necessary, tool for getting your message across. Why does humor work a lot? There are several reasons.
People will enjoy what you have to say if it is presented with humor. But, more importantly, if you are in a situation where important, and perhaps controversial（有爭議的）, ideas must be presented to less than open minds, humor allows those ideas to be presented in a non-threatening (無威脅的) manner. Abraham Lincoln was famous for his ability to relate humorous stories to make a point. Humor used carefully throughout a presentation will also keep the listener’s interest high. In a word, individuals learning how to use humor in their speeches can strengthen arguments, support interesting presentations and, most of all, entertain their audience in a positive and comfortable way. 
While popular culture may well hold many kinds of humor, some of it has no place in presentations that are designed to educate and encourage the audience. If you want to become a professional stand-up (單人表演的) comedian whose goal is 100% entertainment, then you may be able to use some of the reference materials like The Art of Using Humor in Public Speaking. They can help you develop your skills and sources of humor. To that end, your participation in this study of humor will become necessary. Hopefully, you will come to appreciate the special difficulty of entertaining the audience with good and clean humor.
小題1: How many reasons does the author give for using humor?
A．Two.B．Three. C．Four.D．Five.
小題2:What’s the purpose of stand-up comedians?
A．To educate the audience.B．To encourage the audience.
C．To entertain the audience.D．To exchange with the audience.
小題3:Why did the author suggest reading The Art of Using Humor in Public Speaking?
A．It was good for training one’s skills of humor.
B．It helped the readers relax after work.
C．It gave some tips on how to live a positive life.
D．It was a textbook for professional stand-up comedians.
小題4: Which of the following has a similar meaning to the underlined word “end” in the last paragraph?
A．Finishing. B．Conclusion.C．Stop.D．Result.

Whether it’s a carol（圣誕頌歌）service or an evening of karaoke in the pub, many people will enjoy a good old singsong this Christmas. Singing aloud will not just lift the spirits---it’s good for your physical health as well. Filling the lungs（肺）with air, increasing the heart rate and getting blood pumping round the body faster can all help our physical health.
For the past few years Heart Research UK has been Funding a Christmas campaign aimed at getting people singing, simply for the benefit it can bring. The organizer of the campaign says singing is a safe, simple and social activity that everyone can enjoy. “Singing is linked to long life, stress reduction, and general health protection. It also brings a great amount of happiness. It is impossible to sing well with a long face because it affects your pitch（音高）.”
Professor Graham Welch, who leads the International Music Education Research Centre at the University of London, has spent more than 30 years studying the effects of singing. He says that singing is a form of exercise. It means we’re also having a strong aerobic activity（有氧運動）when we’re singing, which results in increasing the feeling of pleasure while decreasing that of stress.
“And communal（共同的）singing—like in a singing group, a church service or even a singsong in the pub—helps improve our sense of self-respect. It increases our sense of satisfaction with ourselves, a greater sense of feeling included. ”
Helen Astrid, a singing teacher, also sees the great effects that singing brings. “It lifts us up on a spiritual level, it helps our self-respect, and it’s great for all ages from small kids to grannies—you can have a good sing and let your hair down.”
But she warns people not to have too many beers or glasses of wine, though a glass may help them gather courage before taking to the stage during the holidays.
小題1:Heart Research UK holds a campaign to __________.
A．encourage people to sing for God at Christmas
B．study the effects of singing on people

A．a(chǎn), b, cB．b, c, dC．c, d, eD．a(chǎn), b, e

Long long ago, there was an old merchant who had three sons. “To which one shall I leave my fortune?” he wondered. “It must be to the cleverest son. But which one is the cleverest?”
He called his three sons to him. “Here is some money,” he told them, “you must each take one coin to buy something that will fill this room. Anyone who can do this shall have my fortune.”
“It is a big room,” said the eldest son.
“One coin will not buy very much,” said the second son.
But the youngest son said nothing. He stood and thought, and then he smiled, “Come, brothers,” he said, “l(fā)et us go to the market.”
The eldest son bought straw with his coin. But one coin bought only a bit of straw. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the straw covered only a corner of the room.
The second son bought sand with his coin. But one coin bought only a bit of sand. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the sand covered only half of the floor.
“What did you buy?” the eldest son angrily asked the youngest son. “You don't have any straw.”
“Yes, what did you buy?” the second son asked angrily. “You don't have any sand.”
“I bought this,” said the youngest son.
“A candle！” cried his brothers. “What good is a candle?”
“Watch”, said the youngest son.
He lit the candle, and all at once the room was filled from wall to wall, from ceiling to floor. It was filled with light!
“Although you are the youngest, you are indeed the cleverest of my sons,” the old merchant said.
And that is how, the old merchant left his fortune to his youngest son, the one who could fill a room with light.

While I was in my 4th month of pregnancy (妊娠期) with my second child, we were preparing for a trip to Louisiana, where Marshall’s family live, to celebrate Jane’s 2nd birthday. Two days before we were to leave, we got the shocking news that I was going to lose the baby. Not knowing when this would happen, we decided to continue with our trip.
Since Marshall’s family lives on a 600-acre cattle farm, you often find that you have a lot of time to yourself to think when you are there. That is precisely what I did not want to do at this time. I told Marshall that I needed to get a good book to get lost in while I was there. I told him I heard the Harry Potter books were good, so he went out and got the first one for me.
During that trip, I totally got lost in the book, which was of great help during a time when I needed a distraction to forget about the sadness. In the book, I noticed the name “Seamus”. I vaguely remembered it was pronounced “Shamus” and I liked the sound of that. I mentioned it to Marshall and he liked it too. Toward the end of the trip, I had just 5 chapters left and I knew I was about to finish the first book, which I was pretty excited about.
Soon after we put Jane down to bed, I had started labor (分娩), so I was unable to read. The labor lasted 5 and 1/2 hours, but Marshall stayed there with me, sitting beside me and reading aloud the last 5 chapters of Harry Potter. I can never fully explain how much that helped me through the experience. And ever since then, Marshall and I both have been fans of the Harry Potter books. We remember how they helped us get through that time of our lives.
We were sad to have lost the baby, but the name Seamus started our journey toward adoption. And we gave this name to our adopted son. Though our Seamus doesn’t have a drop of Irish blood in him, the name fits him perfectly.
小題1:Why did the writer want a good book during the trip?
A．Because the trip to Louisiana would take a long time.
B．Because she didn’t want to think of losing her baby.
C．Because she had nothing else to do except reading.
D．Because a good book could help her enjoy her trip.
小題2: According to the story, we can know that the Harry Potter books _________________.
A．made the family’s trip more excitingB．include five books all together
C．have someone called Seamus in themD．can help people deal with their problems
小題3: The writer named her son Seamus because ___________________.
A．she wanted to keep her trip in memoryB．she loved this name very much
C．her son doesn’t have Irish bloodD．it is a perfect name for a boy
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE about the couple?
A．They planned their trip after getting the shocking news.
B．They thought the cattle farm was too large to do anything on.
C．They felt excited when they almost finished the trip.
D．They liked reading Harry Porter very much after the trip.
小題5: Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Funny Stories Of My FamilyB．Seamus And Harry Potter
C．How We Got To LouisianaD．How My Son Got His Name

A sign can be found in the front yard of a house in the US. The people living here want to let their dog play outside and ensure it won’t run into the street. So, they hire a company to set up an “invisible fence”, an electric wire buried in the ground around the yard. The dog wears a special collar and when it walks near to the “fence”, the wire will send out a small shock. The dog quickly learns to stay away from the edge of the yard. As it says at the bottom of the sign, the fence will keep your dog “safe” (away from the street) and “at home” (contained inside the yard).
The small word “BRAND” printed in blue means that “Invisible Fence” is registered as the company’s brand name. Similarly, the “TM” printed after “your dog safe at home” stands for “trade mark”, a slogan registered specifically to one company.
小題1: The people set up an “invisible fence” _________.
A．to let their dog play outside their house
B．to keep their dog away from the edge of the yard
C．to keep their dog inside their yard
D．to warn others not to enter their house
小題2: Which is NOT true about the “invisible fence”?
A．The fence does not exist at all.
B．The “Invisible Fence” is the name of a company.
C．Without the special collar, the fence won’t work on the dog.
D．Science and technology play an important part in it.

The ocean bottom，a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth， is even today largely unexplored. Until about a century ago，the deep-ocean floor was completely inaccessible and hidden beneath waters averaging over 3，600 meters deep. Total­ly without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth's surface，the deep-ocean bottom is a strange environment to humans，in some ways as forbidding and remote as the outer space.
Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks for over a century，the first detailed global study of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968，with the beginning of the National Science Foundation's Deep Sea Drilling Project ( DSDP). Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry，the DSDP's drill ship，the Glomar Challenger，was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean's surface and drill in very deep waters，taking samples of rock from the ocean floor.
The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year-research program that ended in November 1983. During this time，it sailed 600，000 kilometers and took almost
20，000samples of rocks around the world. Those samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to make out what it will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today，largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger's voyages，nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics (構(gòu)造學(xué)) and continental drift that explains many of the geological processes.
The samples of rocks drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also provided a climatic re­cord stretching back hundreds of millions of years. The information of past climatic changes can be used to predict future climates.
小題1:The underlined word" inaccessible" in Line 3 means     .
A．unrecognizable B．unreachableC．unusable D．unreasonable
小題2:Why does the author mention "outer space" in the first paragraph?
A．The Earth's climate millions of years ago was similar to that in outer space.
B．It is similar to the ocean floor in being strange to the humans.
C．Rock formations in outer space are similar to those found on the ocean floor.
D．Techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to those used in ocean exploration.
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE of the Glomar Challenger?
A．It is a type of submarine. B．It is an ongoing project.
C．It has gone on over 100 voyages. D．It made its first DSDP voyage in 1968.
小題4:The Deep Sea Drilling Project was significant because it was         .
A．a(chǎn)n attempt to find new sources of oil and gas
B．the first extensive exploration of the ocean bottom
C．made up of geologists from all over the world
D．supported entirely by the gas and oil industry
小題5:Which is NOT mentioned in the passage as being a result of the Deep Sea Drilling Project?
A．Geologists were able to determine the Earth's appearance millions of years ago.
B．Two geological theories became more widely accepted by scientists.
C．Geologists observed forms of life never before seen.
D．Information was revealed about the Earth's past climatic changes.

While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain puzzled over how to deal with another alcohol related danger: drunken pedestrains.
Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated(喝醉的) more frequently and with higher blood alcohol levels than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10 which by law in most states signifies intoxication compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.
Some types of pedestrain accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7000, or one of every seven highway accidents resulting in death.
“We’re dealing here, we think, with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety problem,” said Richard Blomberg, president of Dunlap and Associates Inc, in Norwalk, Coon.
Blomberg, whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans, was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual meeting of the Research council’s Transportation Research Board(TRB)  in Washington in January.
Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Colpitts, who chairs the board’s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been mystified（迷惑不解） about how to prevent disasters.
小題1:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Traffic Safety.B．Drunken Drivers
C．Drunken Pedestrian Accidents.D．A Severe Highway Safety Problem.
小題2:Among the causes of walkers’ accidents, the most serious problem is .      
A．long delays in traffic signals that may make people cross streets ignoring traffic rules
B．a(chǎn)lcohol
C．a(chǎn) lack of adult keeping eyes on many children involved in accidents
D．former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time
小題3:According to recent federal data, drunken drivers with an over 0.10 blood alcohol level in deadly accidents .      
A．a(chǎn)re 15 percent less than drunken adult walkers with the same level
B．a(chǎn)re 2500 a year
C．a(chǎn)re at least 7000 in US traffic accidents
D．make up one seventh of highway accidents
小題4:According to the passage, what is Blomberg?
A．A researcher.
B．A specialist in traffic safety.
C．A clerk of a consulting company.
D．A government official
