B
Yes. It’s really happening. This is the last weekend that Washington D.C.’s beloved giant panda, Tai Shan (aka Butterstick), has resided at the National Zoo. Born in Washtington D.C. four and a half years ago, Tai Shan is leaving for China on February 4 to become part of a breeding(培育) program that will help support panda populations in the wild. We’ve known it was coming: He’s the property of China and his departure was part of an agreement made long before he stole our hearts. And while acknowledging that he will be helping the breed (there are only about 1,600 giant pandas left in the wild), we can’t help but be sad to see him go. He’s been an international concern from the moment he was born on July 9, 2005, thanks in part to the popularity of the PandaCam, which cameraed his every roly-poly(不倒翁似的) move.
The National Zoo is hosting a huge send-off celebration this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to say goodbye to Tai Shan, gathering their team of vets, nutritionists, reproduction specialists, and other scientists to share their knowledge about pandas. The Chinese Embassy will present dance and music presentations, kids will be able to write cards for Tai Shan, and in the most brilliant display we’ve seen in a while, Land O’Lakes will host a photo gallery of favorite images of Tai Shan from the past few years. “When Tai Shan was born,” the Zoo explains in its press release, “...he was about the size of a stick of butter. This earned him the affectionate nickname ‘Butterstick.’” .
Happily, Tai Shan will be departing in style. According to the Washington Post, FedEx has offered to donate the transportation and he’ll be leaving in a 777 FedEx aircraft next week that’s fitted with his own logo on the side. There’ll be “only eight people on board, including a doctor, as well as a panda member of the opposite sex...and more than 50 pounds of his favorite food available on demand,” says the Post. Not a bad way to travel 8,642 miles, even if it is in a crate(板條箱).
So goodbye, Butterstick, safe travels, and may you lead a long and fruitful life in China!
46. We can infer from the passage that the author most probably is ________.
A. an American    B. a Chinese     C. a foreign tourist  D. a young writer
47. Why must the National Zoo send Tai Shan to China on February 4?
A. Because he’s the property of China.
B. Because his mother was stolen from China.
C. Because it’s the first part of a breeding program.
D. Because it’s bound and required by the agreement.
48. By saying “l(fā)ong before he stole our hearts” (in paragraph 1), the author means “l(fā)ong before______”.
A. he made us heartbroken     B. he made us lose heart
C. we fell in love with him      D. we felt disappointed with him
49. The send-off celebration will include the following activities except ______.
A. sharing knowledge about pandas       B. dance and music presentations
C. a photo gallery of images of Tai Shan    D. collecting nicknames for Tai Shan
50. Which of the following statements is True?
A. The number of pandas in the world is now sharply decreasing.
B. FedEx will fly Tai Shan to China in a Boeing 777 aircraft for free.
C. Washington Post is a branch company of FedEx’s in the US.
D. Tai Shan is to be accompanied on board only by eight people.

I get off the bus and walk a few blocks. I stop when I get to a garage-like place and walk to the metal door with brown paint. I turn the knob(把手)and walk in. A thousand eyes look at me as I take my place at the end of the long line. When I finally get up to the window, I hand the officer my ID. “I’m here to visit Mr C. Yes, I’m his daughter.”
I learn that line by heart. The officer hands me a piece of paper with my name as the visitor and my father’s as the prisoner. It tells me which floor to go to. As I get on the elevator, a rush of excitement runs through me. Then I go to the eighth floor, look around and see the faces I see here every Sunday and Thursday.
There he is. I stand on tiptoe(腳尖)to get a better view since I can hardly see him. He doesn’t look like my father. He’s got a beard now and he looks a lot weaker. He’s the dad that I see through a window. My dad who is separated from the world. The only place he now knows is his room in the prison. When I look deep into his eyes, I see emptiness and pain.
It’s difficult to hear him through the thick glass and over everyone else who is trying to talk. We try to carry on a normal conversation about simple things including my day and what I’m doing in school, but we mostly talk about how we can’t wait until he gets out. After an hour my time is up. We say our good-byes and love-yous.
I get on the bus to go home. My favorite place is where my father is—prison. I know, how can prison be anyone’s favorite place? But it is because my father is there. It’ll no longer be my favorite place once he gets out, though—home will be.

閱讀理解。
     When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault." or "I know
I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down." It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit
of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could
do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if
you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's
key to success.
     Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down,
maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the
useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes
you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or
inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person.
You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of
how your colleague fails to do his job well.
     This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful
no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult
situation to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities
to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your
power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
1. According to the passage, winners _____.
A. deal with problems rather than blame others
B. meet with fewer difficulties in their byes
C. have responsible and able colleagues
D. blame themselves rather than others
2. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. avoid
B. accept
C. impure
D. Consider
3. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should _____.
A. find a better way to handle the problem
B. blame him for his lack of responsibility
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. ask a more able colleague for help
4. When problems occur, winners take them as _____.
A. excuses for their failures
B. barriers to greater power
C. challenges to their colleagues
D. chances for self-development
5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A Winner's Secret.
B. A Winner's Problem.
C. A Winner's Opportunity.
D. A Winner's Achievement.
