When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was         and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the          in my records. His beaming (歡笑的) face turned to         “You’re lowering my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in          ……”
He didn’t finish the          but it was obvious that his display of honesty was false. He thought he’d have it all—praise and the          grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade stand        all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being         in the future. And every time I tell this         , some people agree with this remark.
But I can’t see how I could give good          for worsening my mistake in grading by undermining (損害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to          an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest reflection of his          and it would have been         to other students. How could I possibly give a          a gift of an unearned grade?
I know voluntarily reporting an error in one’s favor is         , but, like          extra change, it’s the         thing to do. People with real honesty, hate to give up benefits as mush as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is reward enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps         the student’s grade did discourage him from being honest in the future, but bribing (賄賂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have         him even more. The duty to be honest is         right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

小題11:考查動詞。A. make使得；B. find發(fā)現(xiàn)；C. avoid避免；D. correct改正。因為學生指出我未能批改出他作業(yè)中的錯誤，所以這里用“fail to correct”表未能改正。故選D。

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I’m not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances don’t come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However，to succeed in life，one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And，in addition to that，in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain things，it’ll require even more time，time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you don’t enjoy what you do，it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，but thinking that way does you no good，and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it，you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work，don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent，hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want，but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
小題1:Paragraph 1 mainly talks about________.
A．the reasons for success
B．the meaning of success
C．the standards of success
D．the importance of success
小題2:In Paragraph 2，the underlined word that refers to________.
A．being good at something
B．setting a practical goal
C．putting in more time
D．succeeding in life
小題3:Successful people suggest doing what one loves because________.
A．work makes one feel pain
B．one tends to enjoy his work
C．one gives up his work easily
D．it takes a lot of time to succeed
小題4:What can we infer from Paragraph  4?
A．Successful people like to show their great skills.
B．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
小題5:What is the main theme of the passage?
A．Having a goal is vital to success.
B．Being good is different from being great.
C．One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D．Luck，talent and family help to achieve success.

On Saturday, Feb 12, 2000, two things happened that changed my life.
First of all, my baby sister got married. She was 26 this day, and yet to me she was still my baby sister.
I was happy, but also sad. Gone were the days of me bossing(支使) her around. My bossy behavior had once earned me the nickname Lucy. If you’re a fan of Peanuts, then you can clearly imagine my behavior as an older sister.
At one point, I left the wedding reception to get some air. I went outside and walked to a nearby playground. I’m not sure how long I sat there before my sister came and joined me. We talked about how we were both grown up. As she wiped a tear from my eye, she lovingly said, “You’ll always be Lucy to me.” We hugged.
Then, my cousin Mike walked over to tell us that it was time to cut the cake, and the second thing that changed my life that day came to pass.
“Hey, did you guys hear that Charles Schulz died today?” he said casually – as if it were no big deal. Then he took my sister’s arm and they turned to head back to the reception hall. “Coming?” they asked. “In a minute,” I replied, and I sat back down on the bench, dizzy from what Mike had just told me.
How could Charles Schulz be dead? He was my creator! He was almost like a father to me!
I had lost so many things on that day. My innocence had slipped away like a thief in the night. It was gone before I could do anything about it, taking with it all the treasures that I had held in my heart. I felt myself grow up in an instant. I saw, for the first time, what I really was – a 30-year-old woman with a husband of my own, and soon, a child of my own.
I took a deep breath and stood up from the bench. I turned and headed back to the hall, hoping I hadn’t missed the cutting of the cake. It was the day that my sister grew wings of her own and left the nest – the day that Lucy died, and I was born.
小題1:Why did the author feel sad at her sister’s wedding?
A．She was afraid of change.
B．Her sister was getting ready to move far away from her.
C．Her wonderful childhood with her sister had become a thing of the past.
D．She had nobody to turn to for help with housework.
小題2:When the author’s cousin told her that Charles Schulz had died, she __________.
A．felt a great sense of loss
B．burst into tears
C．thought he was joking
D．got angry at him for his attitude
小題3:What is implied when the author says that “Lucy died, and I was born”?
A．The author has realized how her sister must have felt about her and decided to change.
B．Lucy no longer matters to the author.
C．The author doesn’t like the nickname Lucy anymore.
D．The author is no longer sad and ready to face the fact that she is an adult.
小題4:The best title of the passage can be __________.
A．Two things changing my life
B．My baby sister’s wedding
C．Not Lucy anymore
D．Not innocent anymore

Car Talk
When I got the driving license last summer, Mom and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot. Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me. It wasn't that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother's "helpful instructions" only managed to make me more nervous.
Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a typical father-daughter relationship. He'd ask how school was, and I'd say it was fine. Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations. Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me.
As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully appreciate his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about past failed dates, "basic body" gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of his first meeting with Mom.
Dad' s sudden chattiness was shocking until I thought about why he was telling me so much in the car. In all the years that I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, I had never stopped to consider that it was because I had never bothered to listen. Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently, I never thought my quiet father had anything to say.
Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important, though, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased. Just living with him wasn't enough—it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.
小題1:The author couldn't practice driving with her mother because             .
A．she couldn't talk with her motherB．her father wanted to teach her
C．her mother made her nervousD．she didn't trust her mother
小題2:At first, the idea of learning driving from her father made her             .
A．happyB．uneasyC．satisfiedD．disappointed
小題3:What surprised the author when the driving lessons went on?
A．Her Dad liked modern music.B．Her Dad was the best teacher.
C．Her Dad was a chatty person.D．Her Dad told her his sad stories.
小題4:With her story "Car Talk", the author indicates that             .
A．fathers love their daughters dearly
B．mothers are less patient than fathers
C．family members need real communication
D．it takes time to improve the father-daughter relationship

Children find meanings in their old family tales.  
When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker,        all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the darkest times when his strong-minded grandfather was nearly         , he loaded his family into the car and          them to see family members in Canada with a         , “There are more important things in life than money.”
The          took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to a          house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was          that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset. To his surprise, they weren’t. Instead, their reaction echoed (重復) their great-grandfather’s. What they          about was how warm the people were in the house and how much of their heart was accessible.
Many parents are finding family stories have surprising power to help children through           times. Storytelling experts say the phenomenon (現(xiàn)象) reflects a growing         in telling tales, evidenced (證明) by a rise in storytelling events and festivals.
A university          of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids’ ability to          parents’ stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.
The          is telling the stories in a way children can hear. We’re not talking here about the kind of story that         , “When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow.” Instead, we should choose a story suited (適合) to the child’s         , and make eye contact to create “a personal experience”. We don’t have to tell children what they should take from the story and what the moral is.

When I was young I wanted to be a model，so when a national contest was staged，I convinced my parents to take me for an audition (試演)．I was selected and told I had potential.They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious (有聲望的) modeling agencies from around the world would attend.At 13，my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgement and I begged my parents to let me go.We have never been rich，but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.
I imagined being signed by some famous model companies.For months，any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be real model.I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!
Of course，I wasn't signed，but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5′9″(about 1.75 metres) I could be a success.I prayed for a growth spurt (沖刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream.I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes.$500 for a photo shoot，and $300 for other expenses.My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.
The agency sent me out on a few auditions，but with every day I didn't receive a call，I grew more depressed.The_final_straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling.There was an open call in New York City.We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting，only to be told that I was too short.I was devastated (極度不安的)．
Years later，I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actually love modeling，just the idea of it.I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal.The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.
小題1:What's the main reason why the author wanted to be a model?
A．She won a national contest.
B．She wanted to get reputation and wealth.
