The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat's days were numbered. The doctor had said there wasn’t anything more that could be done, and that he should take the Cat home and make him as comfortable as possible.
A tear rolled down the Man’s cheek and landed on the Cat’s forehead, The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look. “Why do you cry, Man?” the Cat asked. “Because you can’t bear the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?” The Man nodded “yes”.
“Pick up that piece of string from the floor. There, my ‘toy’. The Man reached over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to entertain himself for hours with it. “Now take each end of the string in one hand,” the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
“The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my death. Now bring the two ends together,” the Cat said. The man did so. Then the Cat continued, “You have made a continuous circle. Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?” The Man inspected the string and then shook his head.
“Close your eyes.” the Cat said. “Now lick your hand.” The Man widened his eyes in surprise. “Just do it,” the Cat said. “Lick your hand, think of me in all my familiar places, and think about all the pieces of string.”
Licking his hand, he discovered what a cat must know, that licking a paw is very calming and allows one to think more clearly. He continued licking and the corners of his mouth turned upward into the first smile he had shown in days. He waited for the Cat to tell him to stop, and when he didn’t, he opened his eyes. The Cat’s eyes were closed. The Man stroked(輕撫) the warm, brown fur, but the Cat was gone.
One day, not long after, there was a new cat on his lap. She was a lovely white cat. It is very different from his earlier beloved Cat and very much the same.
小題1:Why did the Cat give the man a slightly annoyed look?
A．Because the man’s tears made the Cat really anxious.
B．Because the Cat didn’t know what made the man burst into tears.
C．Because the Cat couldn’t go to sleep when the man was in low spirits.
D．Because the man didn’t have to be so sad and concerned.
小題2:According to the text, which of the following is the reason why a cat licks paws?
A．Licking paws can make a cat remain calm and have a clear mind.
B．Licking paws will make a cat happy and energetic.
C．Licking paws will make a cat find out many unknown secrets.

As I write this, I have half an eye on an old James Bond film that is showing on my computer. But this is a story about how I stopped watching TV and began reading again for pleasure, after ten years in which I hardly turned a page.
I suppose I was an enthusiastic reader of "literature" between the ages of nine and fourteen. I had enough time to be White Fang, Robinson Crusoe, and Bilbo Baggins and Jeeves. Of course there was room in the schoolboy's imagination for some real historical figures: Scott of the Antarctic, all of the Vikings, and Benjamin Franklin were good friends of mine.
Then, in adolescence, I began a long search for strange and radical (激進(jìn)的) ideas. I wanted to challenge my elders and betters, and shock my fellow students with amazing points of view. Of course, the only place to look was in books. I hunted out the longest titles and the authors with the funniest names; I searched the library for completely unread books. Then I found one which became my bible for the whole of 1982, it had a title composed of eleven long words and an author whose name I didn't know how to pronounce. It was really thick and looked dead serious. Even better, it put forward a whole world-view that would take days to explain. Perfect. I took it out of the library three times, proud to see the date-stamps lined up on the empty library insert.
Later, I went to university. Expecting to spend long evenings in learned discussion with clever people, I started reading philosophy. For some reason I never found the deep-thinking intellectuals I hoped to meet. Anyway, I was ready to impress with my profound (深?yuàn)W的) knowledge of post-structuralism, existentialism and situationism. These things are usually explained in rather short books, but they take a long time to get through. They were the end of my youthful reading.
Working life was hard to get used to after so much theory. It was the end of books for me. There didn't seem to be much in books that would actually get things done. To do things you had to answer the telephone and work a computer. You had to travel about and speak to people who weren't at all interested in philosophy. I didn't stop reading, you can't avoid that. I read all day. But no books came my way, only manuals (操作手冊(cè)) and contracts and documents. Maybe most people satisfy their need for stories and ideas with TV and, to tell the truth, it was all I needed for ten years. In those days I only had a book "on the go" for the duration of aeroplane flights. At first I would come home and watch TV over dinner. Then, I moved the TV so I could watch it from bed. I even got a switch so I could turn it off without getting out of bed. Then, one fateful day, my TV broke and my landlady took it away.
My new TV is an extra circuit board (電路板) inside my computer. It's on a desk in front of a working chair and I can't see it from the bed. I still use it for the weather forecasts and it's nice to have it on while I'm typing this… but what to do last thing at night? Well, have another go with books.
Now, I just like books. I have a pile of nice ones by my bed and I'm reading about six at the same time. I don't want to be any of the characters. I don't care if a thousand people have already read them. I don't have to search through libraries. There are books everywhere and all of them have something to read in them. I have the strange feeling that they've been there all along, waiting for me to pick them up.
小題1:The writer enjoyed reading “l(fā)iterature” between the ages of nine and fourteen because ________.
A．he thought it was important for a schoolboy to do so
B．he was still too young to understand other books
C．he believed all the real historical figures were his friends
D．he could imagine himself being the characters in the books
小題2:“Existentialism” (in paragraph 4) is probably ________.

C．a(chǎn) philosophy theoryD．a(chǎn) kind of reading skill

A．he found watching TV was more interesting

An old woman had two large pots, one on each end of a pole. She carried the pole with the pots across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full.
For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection.
One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman by the well: “I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”
The old woman smiled: “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them.”
“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, I would not have this beauty.”

A．Proud. B．Disappointed.C．Annoyed. D．Embarrassed.
小題3:Where were the flowers growing?
A．On both sides of the path.B．In the woman’s house.
C．On the perfect pot’s side of the path.D．On the cracked pot’s side of the path
小題4:Which is the correct order of the following events?
① The woman picked the flowers and decorated the table.
② The woman told the truth to the cracked pot.
③ The cracked pot talked to the woman about its crack.
④ The woman found a crack on one pot.
⑤ The woman planted some flower seeds.
A．④⑤①③② B．⑤④③②①

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It's like looking at the tiled(鋪瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 小題1: .
Once I heard a bald(禿頭的) man said. “Whenever I enter a room,  小題2:  I see is hair." Once you've   小題3: what your missing tile is, explore whether getting it will   小題4:  make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different  小題5:  , or forget about it and  小題6:  the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively  小題7:  life, yet are often unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but  小題8:  remain happy.
The first  小題9:  is gratitude. All happy people are  小題10: . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to  小題11:  , but it's truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret, is 小題12: that happiness is a byproduct(副產(chǎn)品) of something else. The most obvious 小題13: are those pursuits(追求) that give our lives purpose—anything 小題14: studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are  小題15: to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our  小題16:  has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We   小題17: a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life.

At a school of thirty-five thousand people, I found a small place that was as   小題19: to me as my Social Security number.
