Do you have a sore throat, a running nose and a headache? Do you keep coughing and sneezing? If you do, the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu---but which one? Although both colds and flu are caused by viruses, they are very different illnesses.
Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a running nose and sneezing. Sometimes, they cause a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.
Flu is a much more serious illness and is caused by different groups of viruses. People with flu usually get all the symptoms(癥狀) described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much worse aching. Fever is one of the characteristic symptoms of the flu for all ages. The symptoms also last much longer. Sometimes they don’t disappear for at least two weeks.
Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly(年長(zhǎng)的), who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people, can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advised to have a flu injection(預(yù)防針) before the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely（明顯地）worth it.
If you have a cold or flu, you must always deal with used tissues(手巾紙) carefully. Don’t leave dirty tissues on your desk or on the floor. Someone else has to pick these up and viruses could be passed on. And finally, remember to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze! You don’t want to see the small drops of liquids blown(噴) out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze, do you? Disgusting(令人作嘔), eh? Now you can understand why it’s a good idea to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!
小題1: In paragraph 4, we learn that ________.
A．flu injection can cause death
B．most old people die from flu
C．flu can kill old people easily
D．flu is most common in summer
小題2: Dealing with used tissues properly(正確地) is important because ________.
A．it helps keep your classroom tidy
B．it prevents the spread of colds and flu
C．people hate picking up dirty tissues
D．picking up lots of tissues is hard work
小題3: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Both colds and flu last the same time.
B．Both colds and flu can be prevented by injection.
C．Both colds and flu are caused by the same viruses.
D．Both colds and flu have an aching symptom.
小題4:Which is probably the best title for the passage?
A．Colds and Flu
B．The Different Symptoms of a Cold and Flu
C．Prevention Is Better Than Cure
D．Cover Your Nose and Mouth When Sneezing

The two-week vacation at the end of summer school ended yesterday. Kevin had gone nowhere during his vacation. He had the money, but he hated to travel alone. He used to take vacations with Gary, his youngest brother, but they had a big argument at the end of their last vacation. Each of them had spent the last three years waiting for the other to apologize.
Kevin did not feel good about being on non-speaking terms with his favorite brother. But he was not going to ask for forgiveness when, in his mind, this whole misunderstanding was his brother’s fault.
So Kevin’s summer vacation was spent in his own “back yard.” As usual, he had planned to clean up his apartment. As usual, two weeks later his apartment looked just as it had two weeks before.
He did do one thing new and different during his vacation. There was a new coffee shop on Foothill Street. It served 25 varieties of delicious coffee at reasonable prices, and the staff was genuinely friendly. The shop was air-conditioned at a slightly chilly temperature. About eight small round tables were inside. Outside were four bigger tables. Each had four white metal chairs around it, and several big umbrellas provided shade. Even on hot afternoons, there was usually a pleasant breeze.
Kevin visited the coffee shop four times during his vacation. He always sat at a table outside by himself and read the free daily paper. Each day he was there, he read most of the newspaper articles while he enjoyed two cups of coffee.
Between articles, he took breaks by watching the nearby traffic and pedestrians. The coffee shop was next to a huge parking lot. The lot was for customers of a grocery store, movie rental store, pharmacy, bank, and restaurant. Kevin considered his outdoor seat the perfect place for one of his favorite activities—people watching.
The coffee shop, with its excellent location and coffee, had helped make his vacation a pleasant one. But he knew in his heart, had his brother been there to join him just one day, his vacation would have been a perfect one.
小題1: Why didn’t Kevin go anywhere during his vacation？
A．Because he was short of money.B．Because he didn’t like traveling.
C．Because he had no company.D．Because he had to clean up his apartment.
小題2: What did Kevin do in his vacation?
A．He cleaned up his apartment.B．He had a big argument with Gary.
C．He worked in a parking lot.D．He stayed at home most of the time.
小題3: Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the coffee house?
A．It served delicious coffee of different flavors.
B．It had an effective air-conditioning system.
C．It was often crowded with local customers.
D．It provided free newspapers for customers.

Where do most writers get their ideas? For Yoshiko Uchida, it all began with Brownie, a five-month-old puppy. So excited was Yoshiko by Brownie’s arrival that she started keeping a journal, writing about all the wonderful things Brownie did and the progress he made.
Soon she was writing about other memorable events in her life, too, like the day her family got their first refrigerator. She also began writing stories, thanks to one of her teachers. Yoshiko wrote stories about animal characters such as Jimmy Chipmunk and Willie the Squirrel. She kept on writing, sharing the kitchen table with her mother, who wrote poems on scraps of paper and the backs of envelopes.
Yoshiko grew up in the 1930s in Berkeley, California. Her parents, both of whom had been born in Japan, provided a loving and happy home for Yoshiko and her sister. They also provided a stream of visitors to their home who later found their way into Yoshiko’s stories. One visitor who later appeared in several of Yoshiko’s stories was the bad-tempered Mr. Toga, who lived above the church that her family attended. Mr. Toga would scold anyone who displeased him. The children all feared him and loved to tell stories about how mean he was and how his false teeth rattled (咯咯響) when he talked.
Yoshiko also included in her stories some of the places she visited and the experiences she had. One of her favorite places was a farm her parents took her to one summer. The owners of the farm, showed Yoshiko and her sister how to pump water from the well and how to gather eggs in the henhouse. They fed the mules that later pulled a wagon loaded with hay while Yoshiko and the others rode in the back, staring up at the stars shining in the night sky. Yoshiko, who lived in the city, had never seen such a sight. As Yoshiko gazed up at the stars, she was filled with hope and excitement about her life. The images of that hayride stayed with her long after the summer visit ended, and she used them in several of her stories.
The experiences Yoshiko had and the parade of people who marched through her young life became a part of the world she created in over twenty books for young people, such as The Best Bad Thing and A Jar of Dreams. Because of such books, we can all share just a little bit of the world and the times in which this great writer grew up.
小題1:The author tells about Mr. Toga’s false teeth in Paragraph 3 in order to ____________.
A．show health care was not good enough in Berkeley during the 1930s
B．provide an interesting detail in Yoshiko’s life and stories
C．show Yoshiko’s young life was difficult and frightening
D．tell about a beloved relative who helped Yoshiko learn how to write
小題2:In Paragraph 4 “the stars” probably refer to ____________.
A．family relationshipsB．terrors in the night
C．limitless possibilitiesD．sacrifices to benefit others
小題3: What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A．Yoshiko loved to write about parades.
B．Yoshiko met many interesting people.
C．Yoshiko liked to go for long walks with others.
D．Yoshiko preferred to talk to her pets instead of to people.
小題4:What is the main idea of this story?
A．People who live in the city should spend as much time as they can in the country.
B．Writers like Yoshiko Uchida must communicate with as many writers as possible.
C．Those who move to the United States often miss their homelands for many years.
D．Writers like Yoshiko Uchida look to the richness of their lives for material.
