For children with cancer(癌),the facts of life include the facts of death.
There is always the fear that they might not live to grow up．Yet they realize that fighting cancer is the only way of beating it. So they fight．And sometimes, they win.It may take years．It certainly takes support from  parents and doctors.
Unfortunately, many parents can't deal with their child's illness．And doctors, no matter how caring, have other patients to care for. At times like these, the Children's Cancer Foundation can help. We are a group of Hong Kong doctors, nurses, psychologists, parents of children with cancer and concerned persons (有關(guān)人士).All of us are volunteers (offer one's help  without payment).We're with the children every day, listening to, and encouraging them.
We also advise parents, educate the public and send doctors overseas to study new cancer treatments. Our funding (providing money) has brought better equipment to the wards (large rooms of a hospital), and paid for special flats  where the children can recover.
We want to do even more．But to do it, we need your help. It will be money well spent．One who looks at our past achievements should prove that．
To the children, your contribution （貢獻(xiàn)）will also be a show of support.A sign that you're behind them is just the sort of news that a six-year-old chlid with cancer needs to hear.

Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into touch with them.Their values---this can not be repeated too often--aren’t necessarily our values.Physical comfort,cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things.The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a room with rotten food covered by small worms,and an old person lying alone on bed,taking no notice of the worms.But is it interrupting personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers,the ones who clear up the worms,think we’re in danger of carrying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risks(冒險)are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed,the old can be easily hurt or harmed.The old is like a car: it needs more mechanical repair as it gets older.You can carry this comparison right through to provision of spare parts.But never forget that such operations are painful experiences,however good the results are.And at what point should you stop to treat the old body?Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of medicine to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active,knowing that it is designed to die?You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide,because so long as they can see the technical chances,they will feel it necessary to give them a try,by the rule that while there’s life,there’s hope.
Talking to the old,however,you’re forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or health than it does on your ability to have fun.
小題1:After reading Paragraph 1，we learn that____.
A．very old people are able to keep their living places very clean
B．old people enjoy living alone so as to have more personal freedom

小題2:Some social workers think that_____．
A．old people should keep their living places clean
B．one should not take risk dealing with old people

D．personal freedom is more important than health and safety
小題3:In Paragraph 3，the underlined word“it”refers to____．
A．one’s memory or health
B．the conclusion you have come to
C．whether age is happy or unpleasant
D．your talk to the old people
小題4:The writer of this passage thinks that_______．
A．it is always morally right to treat old people and push off death
B．the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is uncertain
C．old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich

I am an e-mail user. When I first started to use the e-mail system I used to read all my e-mail. I didn’t have much mail. I was very excited about receiving any e-mail. I gave my friends my e-mail address. Soon I had more mail than I wanted. Some of the mail was junk mail. I was worried. I didn’t want my mail to control me.
I’ve tried some methods to help me get control of my mail. First, I check my mail at the same time every day. Also I try to allow myself only 15-20 minutes every day to process my e-mail. This doesn’t always work, but I try. Sometimes I save the messages. Sometimes I just read them, maybe answer a few, and then delete them.
Sometimes I’m not at all interested in a message, so I don’t even open it. I delete it right away. This is very much the way I go through the mail that the postal service delivers to my home.
These methods are very simple. I have some friends who are very clever with computers. From time to time, they teach me new tricks for managing my e-mail. I’ve also learned to transfer some messages to a disk so they don’t fill up my mail files. Then I can read them later and maybe use them in my work. I’m still amazed at what e-mail can do for me! I’m still worried, however, about having too much to read.
小題1:Which is the best title for this passage?
A．How I Go through my E-mailB．How I Manage my E-mail

C．That he likes e-mail much better than the mail delivered by the post service.

The neglected baby is crying alone. The young man, suffering from a lack of sleep, threatens suicide. The marriage fails because of the husband’s crazy behavior.
Is this just another story of social breakdown in the modern age? Not really. But they are the effects of a real social problem—Internet Addiction(沉溺), or, Internet Addiction Disorder.
The addiction is obvious from the popularity of one game alone: “Halo 2”. It’s a first-person shooter developed by Bungie Studios for the Xbox video game console. By early 2005, 1 million players worldwide had clocked up an amazing 100 million hours on the game, among which are 360, 000 Chinese players.
China has about 94 million regular Internet users. Of these, a survey suggested, 4.4 million are teenagers who are so addicted to it that they neglect anything else.
Video gamers who have gone too far show symptoms similar to those of alcohol and drug abusers. “The real world meant nothing to me when I was fully involved in online games. I lost track of time, space, hunger, pain, and everything,” explained Liu Pinyi, a 19-year-old college dropout. She has had treatment in Beijing for her addiction.
What makes it similar to drugs is that online game addicts also develop a chemical imbalance in their brains. Gaming stimulates the production of a chemical compound that produces delighted or pleasant feelings. When they’re away from the screen, they suffer feelings of anxiety and headaches.
Experts say young people are attracted to video games partly because they are partly because they are pushed right into the center of the action. This allows them to overcome a lack of confidence which people at that age can often suffer from.
小題1:What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the first paragraph?
A．To show his worries about Internet Addiction.
B．To show harm of Internet Addiction
C．To warn couples of the problem.
D．To introduce the topic of the passage.
小題2: How much time in total had Chinese game players spent on “Halo 2” by early 2005?
A．1 million hours.B．94 million hours
C．100 million hours.D．36 million hours
小題3: When video gamers get lost in a game, they do the following EXCEPT that _______.
A．They forget time, space, hunger and everything.
B．They drink a lot of alcohol and use drug.
C．They feel confident in the virtual games
D．Their brains produce a chemical which makes them delighted.
小題4: what is the passage mainly about?
A．Internet is bad for teenagers
B．Actions should be taken to deal with Internet Addiction
C．Web produces Internet Addiction Disorder
D．Teenagers should not play video games

Facebook users may feel socially successful in the web world but they are more likely to perform poorly in exams. The majority of students who use Facebook every day are doing badly compared with those who don’t. About 83% of British 16 to 24-year-old people are using social networking site such as Facebook and MySpace, to keep in touch with friends and organize their social activities.
“Our study shows people who spend more time on Facebook spend less time studying,” said Aryn Karpinski, a researcher. “Every generation has its distractions(娛樂), but I think Facebook is a unique phenomenon.” Karpinski and a colleague questioned 219 US undergraduates and graduates about their study and general Internet use, as well as their specific use of Facebook. They found 65% of Facebook users accessed their account daily, checking it several times to see if they had received new messages. The amount of time spent on Facebook at each log-in(登錄) varied from just a few minutes to more than an hour.
Some UK students have already realized the potential danger. Daisy Jones, 21, an undergraduate, realized the time she was spending on Facebook was threatening her grades, urging her to deactivate(使無效) her account, “I was in the library and tried to write a 2,000-word essay when I realized my Facebook habit had got out of hand,” she said. “I couldn’t resist going online, when thinking about it. Before you know it , a couple of minutes have turned into a couple of hours and you haven’t written a word.”
Jones is among the few to have realized the risks. 79% of the users, however, believed the time they spent on the site had no impact on their work. The CEO of Facebook said, “There is also academic research that shows the benefits of services like Facebook. It’s in the hands of students to decide how to spend their time.”
小題1:What can we know from Paragraph 1?
A．All the students who don’t use Facebook do well in exams.
B．Social networking sites have both advantages and disadvantages.
C．Facebook is the main site for British people to keep in touch.
D．Most of British students use social networking sites daily.
小題2:Facebook users check their account frequently to ____________.
A．spend less time on studyB．make sure new messages aren’t missed
C．practise specific use of FacebookD．a(chǎn)ccumulate amount of time spent on Facebook.
小題3:Why did Daisy Jones deactivate her account?
A．She was warned about the risk of using Facebook.
B．Spending much time on Facebook affected her study
C．She wanted to write a long article in the library.
D．There was something wrong with her eyes.
小題4:What’s the best title of the passage ?

Last year, Jack Bleed cut through the bone of his ring finger while working. The 31-year-old resident of North Little Rock, Arkansas, waited for about six hours at a nearby medical center while the medical staff there called all over town — even as far away as Dallas and Memphis — to find a hand surgeon to reattach his finger. Finally, a willing doctor was located in Louisville, Kentucky. But even though Bleed had insurance(保險), he would have to hire a private plane to get himself there, at a cost of $4,300. In the end, he charged the cost to two credit cards, and his finger was saved. His insurance company eventually covered the cost of the plane, but his experience makes people aware of the fact that trauma(外傷) care in the United States is not only geographically limited, but in many places, non-existent.
Only eight states — New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, New Mexico, California, Oregon, and Washington — have local, fully functional trauma systems. The remaining states have partial systems, and 12 — including Arkansas — have no trauma system at all.
Although the President has signed a bill of $12 million for the purpose of supporting trauma care systems nationwide, many in Congress(國會) are unwilling to spend government money for a service they think should be paid for by states, says Wayne Meredith, medical director for trauma programs at the American College of Surgeons. Meanwhile, many states have also failed to find the dollars to support trauma systems. To make matters worse, many people without insurance depend heavily on the emergency care services, placing a huge financial burden on the medical centers that serve them.
For the same reason, doctors, too, often go unpaid. They are unwilling to perform emergency care, worsening critical shortages of neurosurgeons, orthopedists, and hand surgeons — the very types of specialists Bleed needed at short notice.
Supporting a trauma care system doesn’t take much. A half-penny sales tax in Miami-Dade County makes its outstanding system work. In Arkansas alone, says Wayne Meredith, a well-funded trauma system would possibly prevent 200 to 600 deaths each year. If trauma care systems were to work well across the nation, experts say, many thousands of lives each year could be saved. “You don’t get much better return on your investment than that,” Meredith says.
小題1:
In Paragraph 1, the writer uses Bleed’s case to ______.
A．make a comparisonB．describe a person
C．introduce a topicD．tell a story
小題2:
Many people in Congress argue that trauma care systems should be supported by ______.
A．the President B．each state
C．insurance companiesD．the US government
小題3:
The example of Miami-Dade County shows that ______.
A．its tax policy is admirable
B．running a trauma system is profitable
C．a(chǎn) trauma system is not expensive
D．sales tax is not heavy in small counties
小題4:
Why are the present trauma care systems in some states not satisfactory?
A．They are shared by all the states.
B．They are short of financial support.
C．The doctors are not well trained.
D．The hospitals can’t provide low-cost services.

To learn English well you must learn about yourself. You must discover what your own special needs are in English. You should pick out what makes English different from your own language and concentrate on those parts. And above all, you should pick out your own personal weaknesses in English, pick out your own special problems, find out what mistakes you most often make and   make a list of them.
It will be best if, in your preparation, you can practise doing the various sorts of work you will be asked to do in examination. You should then make a careful note of any mistakes you make more than once. Count up how many times you make each mistake, and the mistake you make most often should be at the top of your list, the next most common in second place, and so on.
For example, if your own language is Japanese, you may find the problem of articles comes at the top of your list. If you speak German, you may find using some of the conjunctions is your biggest problem. If your mother tongue is French, you find you are always having trouble with some of prepositions. And if Italian is your language, you may constantly forget to use a suitable pronoun when you should.
But these are only examples of mistakes typical of certain languages. They may or may not
be your particular personal mistakes. As I say, these personal ones are the most important of all to discover.
小題1:
