Time is very important in our lives. It  16  our everybody moments. However, time never had any  17  in my life until I received a watch from my father that organized my life and made me more  18 .
It’s round in the center with two silver bands that go around my wrist. And all of it is made of silver. This  19  tells me the importance of time in my life.
I received this  20  on a gray-sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 am to  21  up my uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house  22  , I was late because I was  23  out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 am, I  24  my uncle, but I was very 25  for him. He had  26  the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.
I got to my father’s house at 2:00 pm on the same day and looking at my angry father’s face I felt 27  of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my  28  father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him where he handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, “Essa, did you have  29   with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and I’m sorry about not picking up my uncle Ali.” He said, “What you  30  was not very nice and you should be sorry for your  31  .” I was ashamed and said, “Father, I’ll never do it again, I promise.” He said, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a  32  for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my 33  .
I learned a very important lesson from my father: to  34  time and never be late to get someone. This watch is  35  to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.

Good tool design is important in the prevention of overuse injuries. Well-designed tools and equipment will require less force to operate them and prevent awkward（別扭的）hand positions. They will allow the worker to keep the elbows（肘）next to the body to prevent damage to the shoulder and arm.
Overuse injuries can therefore be prevented or reduced if the employer provides, and workers use:
●power tools rather than having to use muscle（肌肉）power
●tools with specially designed handles that allow the wrist（手腕）to keep straight （See figure 1）. This means that hands and wrists are kept in the same position as they would be if they were hanging relaxed at a person’s side

Figure1. Bend the tool, not the wrist
●tools with handles that can be held comfortably by the whole hand. This means having a selection of sizes—remember that tools that provide a comfortable firm Hold for a person with a very large hand may be awkward for someone with a very small hand. This is a particularly important consideration for women who may use tools originally designed for men.
●tools that do not press fingers (or flesh) between the handles, and whose handles do not have sharp edges or a small surface area.
60. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Good tool Design for Women                        B. Importance of Good Tool Design
C. Tool Design and Prevention of Injuries           D. Overuse of Tools and Worker Protection
61. Which of the following describes a well-designed tool?
A. It’s kept close to the body.                                   B. It fully uses muscle power.
C. It makes users feel relaxed.                           D. It’s operated with less force.
62. What is Figure 1 used to show?
A. The effective use of the tool.                         B. The way of operating the tool.
C. The proper design of the handle.                    D. The purpose of bending the wrist.
63. In choosing tools for women, _____of the handle is the most important.
A. the size             B. the edge            C. the shape           D. the position

Individuality is the particular character, or aggregate (total) of qualities that distinguishes one person or thing from others. Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to build. In later years, trial, error and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators (改革者) even drew from what they considered the dread ballet, but first they had to get rid of all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed (稱贊).
Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea, and should be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.
First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movement that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity (高超技巧) shown by complex, codified positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.
Her second contribution lies in dance costume. She rejected ballet shoes and stiff costumes. These were replaced with flowing Grecian (希臘式的) tunes, bare feet, and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal.
Her third contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the symphonies of great masters including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.
She was as exciting and eccentric (怪異) in her personal life as in her dance.
小題1:According to the passage, what did nature represent to Isadora Duncan?
A．Something to conquer.B．A model for movement.
C．A place to find peace.D．A symbol of disorder.
小題2:Compared to those of the ballet, Isadora Duncan’s costumes were less _________.
A．costlyB．colorfulC．gracefulD．restrictive
小題3:Which of the following is not mentioned as an area of dance that Duncan worked to change?
A．The stage set.B．The music. C．Costumes.D．Movements.
小題4:We can infer from the passage that the author _________.
A．a(chǎn)ppreciates modern dance very muchB．dislikes Isadora Duncan’s dance
C．thinks highly of individuality D．knows a lot about modern arts
小題5:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Artists of the Last Century B．Evolution of Dance in the 20th Century
C．Natural Movement in Dance D．A Pioneer in Modern Dance

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite(胃口) and better sleep patterns. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopeful,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear on our system and allow people to feel more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never be thinking of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(視角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(無知)，fear—even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.
小題1:The text is mainly written to explain ___.
A．how to keep yourself from being hurtB．how to stay mentally healthy
C．how and when to remain calmD．why and how to pardon others
小題2:According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?
A．Try to figure out why you get hurt.
B．Write a letter to the person who hurts you.
C．Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.
D．Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.
小題3:Dr. Luskin advised us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because___.
A．we are not patient enoughB．we’d feel worse accepting other’s apology
C．people seldom want to apologizeD．people don’t mean it when they apologize

1970 was “World Conservation Year”. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger. They hoped that the governments would act quickly in order to conserve nature.

When I come across a good essay in reading newspapers,I am often inclined to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the opposite side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to keep in good health,or advice about how to behave and conduct oneself in society.If I cut the front essay,the opposite one is bound to suffer damage,leaving out half of it or keeping the text without the subject.As a result,the scissors would stay before they start,or halfway done when I find out the regretful consequence that inevitably(不可避免地) causes my repentance.   
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both deserving your attention.You can only take up one of them,the other has to wait or be given up.But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left behind.Thus you are caught in a fix and feel sad.How come that nice opportunities and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once?It may happen that your life changes dramatically on your preference of one alternative to the other.
In fact that is what life is like:we are often faced with the two opposite aspects of a thing which are both desirable like newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only after we are engaged in another.The former may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind.I still remember a philosopher’s remarks:“When one door shuts,another opens in life.” So a casual or passive choice may not be a bad one.
Whatever we do in our lifetime,wherever life’s storm tosses us,there must be something we can achieve,some shore we can land,that opens up new vistas to us.Don’t forget God always keeps an alternative door open for every one.While the front door is closed,there must be another open for you.
小題1:When the writer finds a good article in reading newspapers,______.
A．he is always glad to cut and keep it
B．he is always hesitant to cut and keep it
C．he often has a desire to cut and keep it
D．he often finds it difficult to decide which side to cut and keep
小題2:The writer feels regretful because______.
A．he fails to choose a good essay
B．he fails to cut the two essays on both sides well
C．he finds the essay on the opposite side is better
D．he finds that he just keeps the text without the subject
小題3:What’s the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 2?
A．You’re trapped in a trouble.
B．You find it difficult to fix something.
