I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend． I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,   36   to look at each other． But we soon lost the   37    and started playing with each other． In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her． She was   38   family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people．”   39   of my new friends liked her as much as I did   40   they knew she had “problems”． However, every summer we would   41   sit at each other’s home and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked．
It was last year when I   42   the problem． I guess I was just too busy in high school to realize she needed someone there for her． Well, she made a new “best friend” and   43   did I． Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself．
She was diagnosed with clinical depression(抑郁癥)． I was very   44   at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in   45  ． I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend   46  deserted her, when people were calling her   47  , but I knew I still   48   her like a sister．
Yesterday she came   49   me and said this,” I never knew what a best friend was   50   I found you were the only person that would stop me from cutting, the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my   51  ． You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you   52   me． I   53   you so much, and you didn’t even know you were   54   me．” We both cried． And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never   55   your friends．

Friedrich Dobl, a Yugoslav working in Germany, was fed up with traffic jams. At long weekends and holiday times when he wanted to get him quickly he always found himself behind hundreds of other cars moving slowly along the notorious foreign workers’ route through Germany and Austria.
How easy it all was for police and emergency services. A siren, a flashing light? And like magic everyone was out the way. Going home from work one night he passed a garage. And there in front of him was the answer to his problems. An old ambulance(救護(hù)車) was for sale. The red cross had been removed. But not the flashing light, and the siren. He tried the light. It flashed magnificently. He tried the siren. That too sounded impressive. He bought the ambulance and opened up for himself a dream world of motoring. It began early in the morning, all his luggage in the back of the ambulance and motorway in Germany looking reasonably clear. Soon, as always, a long line of traffic appeared ahead. He switched on the flashing light and set off the siren. Cars swiftly slowed and pulled off the fast lane. Other cars stopped and drivers waved him ahead to an open road all his own. In record time he crossed the border into Austria. The big bluff was working. Police even waved him through the confusion caused by an accident.
But then the Yugoslav made his big mistake. Until then he had only stopped for petrol. Now he was driving past a real accident, lights flashing , to late realize that it was not another traffic jam as he assumed. They stopped him, and after hearing the story of his ride across two countries fined him 12. 5 pounds.
小題1:At long weekends and holidays Friedrich Dobl used to ____.
A．drive home in Germany
B．get caught in terrible traffic jams
C．meet other foreign workers
D．get to the place where he worked by a special quick route
小題2:Why did he decide to buy the ambulance?
A．because he had always wanted one
B．because he wanted to resell it at a higher price
C．because he liked the siren and the flashing light
D．because he knew that other traffic would get clear of the way for an ambulance.
小題3:The red cross had been removed ____.
A．but he soon put up a new one
B．because the vehicle did not look like an ambulance any more
C．so he asked the garage to paint another one on
D．but the siren and the flashing light still worked
小題4:Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．How to Drive quicklyB．How to Avoid accidents
C．A quick Way Home? By An Ambulance D．A Safe way Home? Non-Stop

Money, jewels and important documents are not the only valuable placed in banks these days. Some mothers store their breast milk in banks.
There’re ten breast banks set up across the United States, where mothers can donate their extra milk for other women’s babies. Experts say breast milk is the best food for babies. The World Health Organization says it is the only food babies should get during the first six months of life, in most cases. Breast milk is especially important for babies born too early. Sometimes these premature babies must stay in the hospital for many weeks.
James Cameron is a doctor who treats newborns at Lutheran Children’s Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He says breast milk is almost like medicine. Doctor James Cameron said, “The fact is that there are so many different proteins and specialized sugars in the breast milk that the mom’s able to make that help provide immunity. It’s very important for the health of the newborn.”
There are several reasons some mothers may not be able to breastfeed. Some are not able to produce enough milk. Others might be taking medicines or have medical problems that prevent the process.
Lucy Baur lives near Fort Wayne. She fed her milk to both her children and always had more milk than they needed. She wanted to donate to the Indiana Mothers Milk Bank in Indianapolis. But freezing and shipping milk can be costly. Then, a donor station opened near her home.
Milk donations in the United States work like this: Donors must be willing to provide almost three liters of breast milk. They freeze the milk and take it to the station. There, employees warm the milk and mix it with other mothers’ milk. Then, the milk is heated to kill bacteria. After that, the technicians test samples of all the milk to make sure it is safe and healthful. The milk is re-frozen and sent to the main milk bank. The milk bank transports the milk to hospitals to feed premature or sick babies. Donors are tested for diseases before any milk is accepted. They are not permitted to smoke tobacco, use illegal drugs or drink too much alcohol.
小題1:The purpose of setting up breast milk banks is to_____.
A．store extra fresh milk for school children
B．provide milk to children who go hungry
C．help mothers donate milk to other babies
D．offer free breast milk to premature babies
小題2:The breast milk is important for newborns because_____.
A．it protects them from any possible disease
B．it contains rich nutrients that they need
C．it is the only food that babies can eat
D．it benefits them as the best medicine
小題3:The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to____.
A．milk bank employeesB．milk bank doctors
C．milk bank nursesD．breast milk donors
小題4:Which of the following shows the process of milk donations in the USA?
a. The mixed breast milk is heated to kill bacteria.
b. Breast milk is donated by mothers, frozen by them and sent to the stations.
c. The breast milk samples are tested for safety reason.
d. Different donors’ breast milk is warmed and mixed together by the station.
e. The milk is frozen again and sent to the main milk bank.
A．bdaceB．bcdeaC．badecD．cbaed

We all have weaknesses and strengths, no matter who we are. Sometimes the weaknesses seem to outweigh the strengths and sometimes it’s the other way around. Some people get sick easily. Some struggle to manage their money properly. Some people are hopeless communicators and struggle with relationships.
Many people accept it as just bad luck, but not everyone. Some people facing huge limitations still manage to achieve surprising things. They rise above their weaknesses and do not allow them to limit their possibilities.
I attended a school prize-giving ceremony not so long ago and the guest speaker was Andrew Becroft, who had a severe stutter(口吃) as a child. Instead of allowing this to limit him, he chose to work hard to overcome it. He is now the Principal Youth Court Judge for New Zealand. Not only did he become successful, but he did so in a profession where he had to speak in front of others regularly.
Lots of people face far more significant limitaions than you do. They may be missing limbs or are born into extreme poverty. But no matter what the limitation you will always find people who have overcome it. Brett Eastburn has no arms or legs and yet is an inspirational speaker and also a very good wrestler. Ringo Starr, drummer for the Beatles, came from a very poor background. He was constantly plagued with illness as a child and spent large amounts of time in hospital. Mark Inglis lost both of
his legs below the knees in a mountaineering accident, but has since climbed Mt Everest.
Most of us will never have to face the challenges these people faced. Yet most of us will never achieve to the degree that these people have either, unless we choose to. If Mark Inglis can climb the highest mountain in the world without legs, _________ ?
小題1:What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? (Within 8 words.)

I still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for close to four hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows that said, “NEED A JACK（千斤頂）”.
Right as I was about to give up, a truck stopped and a man got off. He sized up the situation and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife produced a large water jug for us to wash our hands in.
I tried to put $20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I thanked them up one side and down the other. I asked the little girl, their daughter, where they lived, thinking maybe I’d send them a gift. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches, and then go back home.
After I said my goodbyes and started walking back to the Jeep, the girl called out and asked if I’d had lunch. When I told her no, she ran up and handed me a tamale（玉米粽子）. I thanked them again and walked back to my car. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $20 bill! I ran to the van and the guy rolled down his window. He saw the $20 in my hand, started shaking his head smiling, and with what looked like great concentration said in English: “Today you, tomorrow me.” Then he rolled up his window and drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.
This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.
Since then I’ve helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn’t accept money. But every time I was able to help, I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.
小題1:From the passage we know that __________.
A．the Mexican man couldn’t speak English
B．the author’s car broke down on the road
C．the Mexican family came to Oregon for a visit
D．$20 was a small amount for the Mexican family
小題2:Why did the author give the money quietly to the man’s wife?
A．Because the man had refused to accept it.
B．Because the man’s wife needn’t wash her hands.
C．Because the author thought the Mexican family was poor.
D．Because the author thought the man’s wife would take it.
小題3:The Mexican man helped the author because he tended to think that ___________.
A．it was completely wrong for others to pass by quietly
B．it was quite easy to help the author mend the jeep
C．it was possible that everyone might get into trouble
D．the author was a polite stranger and deserved the help
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE about the author?
A．He hated those who didn’t offer help.
B．He would send a present to the family soon.
C．He wondered why they didn’t take the money.
D．He considered helping others as saving money in the bank.
小題5:What can we infer from the passage?
A．The Mexican family lived a richer life than the author.
B．The Mexican family did seasonal work in Oregon each year.
C．The author was inspired to help others by the Mexican family.
D．What made the writer moved was the tamale given by the girl.

One day last summer, watching the boys and girls trying to catch butterflies I remembered something happened when I was young．When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.
We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. No musician can sing more beautiful than the birds. I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, the bird flied about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
I had left the cage out, and on the second day my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
The following morning when I went to see how my bird was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken good care of my little bird.
Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in cage.”
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.
