"I've changed my mind．I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back．" Lucien Lawrence's letter to Father Christmas, written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gale, must have touched every heart．Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn't see the stars in the sky．When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stare for a while．
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again．And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart．I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than 1 ever did when they were alive．I still live to please them and I'm still surprised by their reactions．I remember that when I became a professor,! was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn't wait to call my parents．The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was "I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!" I haven't forgotten．The values of my parents still live on．
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care．Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors （挑釁者）, and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas'' It's a serious thought, one to give me pause．
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet " Deliver my soul from the sword（劍）, and my darling from the power of the dog．" Yet I know the death comes to us all,
and sometimes comes suddenly．We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die
tomorrow．We live on, I'm sure, in the lives of those we loved．a(chǎn)nd therefore we ought to have a care
for what they will remember and what they will treasure．If more parents knew this in their hearts to
be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today．

Man, a land animal. But he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the world’s population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man’s needs.
The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is big. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (貝類動物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people, including people in China.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent us from exploiting（開發(fā)） fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.
小題1:The major things that the sea offers man are ______.
A．fish and oil
B．minerals and oil
C．warm temperature and ocean currents
D．the food, energy sources, and minerals
小題2:We can conclude from this passage that ______.
A．the sea resources have largely been used up
B．the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed
C．the problems that prevent us from using the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea have already been solved.
D．by the year 2020, the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources
小題3:The underlined words “Oriental people” in the fourth paragraph probably mean ______.
   
A．the people in AsiaB．African people
C．European peopleD．American people
小題4:The best title for this passage is ______.
A．Sea HarvestB．Sea Food
C．Technology for Exploiting the SeaD．Man and the Sea

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.
小題5:The passage is most likely to benefit________ a lot.
A．science researchersB．public speakers
C．dress designersD．sports players

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. Parents often give their children an amount of money that they may spend as they wish. The purpose is to let the children learn from experience at an early age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
A child may receive an allowance each week or each month. The amount is not so important.  But parents should make clear what the child is expected to pay for with the money.
At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents should not offer more money until the next allowance is to be given.
Older children may be responsible enough to budget larger costs like those for clothing. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.
Many people who have written on the subject say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the home, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to organizations. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer free savings accounts for young people with small amounts of money.
小題1:The functions of allowances given to children are the following EXCEPT ______.
A．they can save more money for their future business
B．they can give them to charities
C．they may spend them on what they like
D．they can learn to deal with money
小題2:The underlined word "sacrifice" in the last paragraph means "_____".
A．犧牲B．計劃C．選擇D．放棄
小題3:What's the main idea of the passage?
A．Children should save part of their allowance.
B．Don’t pay your child for work around the home.
C．Allowance helps teach children early about money.
D． Parents should allow children to spend money as they wish.
小題4:How many advantages of saving has the passage mentioned?
A．2 B．3 C．4D．5
小題5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? 
A．Children are advised to buy anything they wish to with the allowance.
B．Parents should offer children more money if they spend all of their allowance soon after they get it.
C．It can be useful to pay children to do extra work around the home.
D．It is unnecessary for the children to save part of the allowance.

Birds don’t need lessons in building nests. Fish don’t need coaching to learn how to swim. All animals have instincts. They’re born with natural abilities to do certain things. Wild animals also learn by copying their parents and practicing. And pets learn through training.
But instincts and training aren’t the only keys to animals’ behavior. Scientists say animals’ thoughts and feelings also influence their actions. Animals often make choices, plans, and sensible changes. They can help others and solve problems. Some even make and use tools!
If animals could talk, what would they say about their thoughts and feelings? A gorilla (大猩猩) born in captivity (關(guān)在籠子里) has helped answer that question. Koko, a gorilla, was taught to use sign language . She has learned hundreds of words!
Koko once had a pet cat she named All Ball. “Koko love Ball,” she signed. “Soft good cat.” One time, she blamed the cat for biting her by signing “You bad dirty toilet!” When her pet died, Koko cried. “Sad for sleeping cat,” she signed.
Koko calls herself “fine animal gorilla”. She uses sign language to argue, joke, and ask and answer questions.
“Most animals can’t use words to tell us their thoughts,” says Dr. Jonathan Balcombe. “But Koko shows us that animals have their own ideas and feelings.” Dr. Balcombe is a scientist at the Humane Society of the United States. He says there’s even more to discover about animals through field studies. In field studies, people watch animals in their natural environment.
“Scientists who study animals’ natural behaviors learn how animals live and think,” Balcombe says. “That knowledge can help others respect every animal who shares the planet with us.”
小題1:The underlined word “instincts” in the first paragraph probably refers to the ability that _____.
A．a(chǎn)nimals copy their parentsB．a(chǎn)nimals learn by practicing
C．a(chǎn)nimals are born withD．a(chǎn)nimals learn through training

Dear sir,
I read your story (of the 4th February) about the cost of living in the country rather than in the town, and I agree with most of the points that you made. My husband and I lived in the middle of Horlton until two years ago — a seaside town of nearly five hundred thousand people. When my husband stopped working, we moved to our present house in a small village at the foot of Roland Hill, and there is no doubt that our costs are higher now.
I have to do my shopping in small shops, where the food is more expensive than in city supermarkets; it costs more to travel by bus; and because the men who come to mend the television or the washing machine, have to come farther, we have to pay them more.
But it does not cost us much to enjoy what is beautiful in the country; and peace and quiet are cheap. Many people spend a great deal of time and money driving into the country to enjoy the simple things of life; yet we can enjoy them just by going out of the front door. It costs more to live here than it did in Horlton but now life really is worth living.
Yours faithfully.
Edith Randall
小題1:What do you know about Horlton?
A．A quiet town not far from the sea.
B．A middle-sized town until two years ago.

小題2: What Mrs Randall really wants to express in the letter is that _____.

小題3:One can probably find this letter in _____.
A．a(chǎn) guidebookB．a(chǎn) newspaperC．a(chǎn) speechD．a(chǎn) story book

A．The letter is written by an unknown person.
B．This letter is a reply to the questions of 4th February.
C．Living in the country is better than living in the city.
D．The cost of living in the city is lower than that of the country.
