When I was a little girl, my father loved to play catch(接球) with me. I wasn’t very good at it,   16  we would play anyway. He was always telling me “Keep your eye on the ball” as I would not be able to catch even the   17  of throws.
As I got   18 , we didn’t play catch as much. If I had a problem and would go to my father to ask for his   19 , he would try to   20  with me and say “Keep your eye on the ball”. We would both laugh   21  usually that advice was not useful to the problem, but he would try to make me   22 .
My father became   23  in 1995 when I was 23. There weren’t any more conversations, as he suffered from a stroke(中風(fēng)).   24  could not speak. He could only give   25  words, which were sometimes hard to understand. I seemed to be pretty good at   26  his lips(唇) after a while, even better than the   27  who were caring for him there.
During one of our last conversations, I was telling him about a problem I was having with my boyfriend.   28 , I could read his lips: “Keep your eye on the ball.” We both smiled.
That was the last time I saw my father   29  he passed away.
Sometimes, all these years later, when I get in trouble, I just   30  myself “Keep your eye on the ball”.

Childhood was an illusion (錯(cuò)覺(jué)）and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, I mean everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially journeys which seemed endless. “Are we there yet, Daddy?”
Funfairs (游樂(lè)場(chǎng)） were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up yourself was an unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain unbearable.
As I’ve grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have dulled. Surprises have turned into shocks. Days go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion?
I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger world. I can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh and laugh with them, sometimes helplessly like a child, and then, even though I’m a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost catch the colors and sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little.
小題1:How does the author feel about his childhood?
A．It was endless.B．It was unpleasant.

小題2:The author thinks that everything was bigger in childhood because ________
A．children could not make proper judgments.
B．children were curious and eager about life
C．things appeared really big in children’s eyes

C．he has had too many surprisesD．foods no longer taste delicious
小題4:The author enjoys playing on the stage so as to _______.

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 can 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 useful phone numbers, so you can 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 situations 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 stop on for success.
小題1:According to the passage, winners           ．
A．deal with problems rather than blame others
B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C．have responsible and able colleagues

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

It's common for parents to feel emotional when the moment comes for their child to leave home and go to university. Even parents who don't speak about the event are likely to feel a sense of sadness because it’s the end of an era where you and your family were at the centre of your child's world. As a parent you’ll probably continue to support your child in different ways, but the main job of raising your child is over. It's a huge change for everyone involved.
There are a few things that you can do to make the transition easier. Plan carefully for your child's departure and think about how you can help. Many parents take their child to university for the first time. If you decide to do that, be ready to feel a real wrench when the time comes to say goodbye. Your child will probably be as nervous as you are about the moment when you finally say goodbye – but that might not show!
Be positive and cheerful about the choice your child has made to continue studying, and plan to leave once you've unpacked the car and looked around your child's new living accommodations. If you can, save your tears for the car – you'll make things easier on your child and yourself.
The more you've invested in being a parent, the more you'll feel a sense of loss, so the sadness you feel now is a sign that you've been a good mom or dad. Remind yourself that parenting is all about raising an independent and confident child who functions well without you. If your child quickly settles and starts enjoying himself, you should congratulate yourself.
It's also only fair to allow yourself some time to grieve(悲痛). Don't expect to pick yourself up and move on straight away. But you may decide to find a hobby or sport to fill your extra time. Perhaps you've always wanted to learn a new language, go to yoga classes or take up swimming. You may decide to spend more time with family and close friends, who are likely to be feeling the absence of your child as well.
Agree on the best approach to staying in touch before your child leaves, and stick to your agreement. Try not to panic if your child doesn't respond immediately – remember, they're starting a new and busy life.
小題1:Why do parents feel sad when their child leaves home for college?
A．Because the absence of their child makes them feel lonely.
B．Because their children will start a new life in college.
C．Because it means the end of love between parents and their child.
D．Because they are no longer the main focus of their children’s life.
小題2:The underlined word “wrench” in Paragraph 2 means a feeling of ________.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Life is difficult.
This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend (超越) it. Once we truly know that life is difficult — once we truly understand and accept it — then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.
Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
