My son Joey was born with club feet．The doctors told us that he would be able to walk，but would never run very well．By the time he was eight，you wouldn’t know he had a problem when you saw him walk．
The children in our neighborhood ran around playing，and Joey would join them， run and play，too．We never told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to run as well as the other children．So he didn’t know．
In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team．Every day he worked harder and ran more than any of the others．Although the entire team runs，only the top seven runners score for the school．We didn’t tell him he probably would never be on the team，so he didn’t know．
He continued to run four to five miles a day，every day - even the day he had a high fever．I was worried，so I went to see him after school．I found him running all alone．I asked him how he felt．"Okay，" he said．He had two more miles to go．Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running．We never told him he couldn’t run miles with a high fever．So he didn’t know．
Two weeks later，the names of the team runners were called．Joey was Number Six on the list．Joey was on the team! He was in seventh grade．We never told him he couldn’t do it!

Dear Gramps,
I was so upset last week when somebody stole my Super Racer from the park by your house. I called up the toy company but they said they have only red, blue and green racers. Dad called Cobb’s Toy Store today and found out they might have purple ones. Can we go there when I come to visit you next week?You and I were only gone for a few minutes to the shop down the street to get ice-cream and cookies. Maybe the thief was watching us. Mum was surprised when I told her the racer was stolen. She said she used to leave things at the park all the time when she was young. Once she even left her bicycle for two days near the swimming pool.
Tell Grandma that I like the food she made last time. Ask Grandma if we can have pancakes with sugar for breakfast when I come this time. I have packed in my towel, comb and soap. Tell her this time I won’t forget to pack in my toothbrush.
Love
Toby

If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals(信號). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.
In case(假使) you don’t think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone(語氣) and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.
These non-verbal(非口頭的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to be able to read people’s body language, but it is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too. Body language may be given several interpretations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the person and the situation. Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal.
小題1:The numbers mentioned in the second paragraph are to ___________.
A．explain what body language is
B．show the importance of body language
C．tell us body language is less used than verbal language
D．tell us body language is the only tool in communication
小題2:What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A．Body language is widely used all over the world
B．Body language can be explained in different ways.
C．It’s too hard to understand the meanings of body language
D．People have already looked through many books on body language.
小題3:According to the writer, body language is very ___________.
A．simple to learnB．negative to be used
C．hard to understandD．helpful in communication
小題4:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．Body language is uncomfortable.
B．What people are saying is not important
C．Body language can show your emotion.
D．To send wrong signals is not body language
小題5:We can infer(推斷) that the writer will most probably talk about __________ next.
A．what the wrong body language signals are
B．examples of how to understand body language correctly.
C．numbers about how many people wrongly use body language
D．a(chǎn)n analysis (分析) of why people wrongly understand body language

I had the meanest mother in the whole world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have porridge, eggs or toast. When others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn’t alone when I was sad. My sister and two brothers had the same mean(刻薄的) mother as I did.?
My mother preferred to know where we were all the time. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. We had to clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids got to wear the same clothes for days. We could not lie in bed “sick” in order to miss school.?
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and get up at eight the next morning. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, my mother was brave to break the Child Labour Law. She made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook and all sorts of things at home. I believe she lay awake thinking up all things for us to do. ?
My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Two of her children received higher education. None of us have ever been arrested(taken away by the police) or divorced. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. I am trying to raise my three children this way. I am filled with pride when my children call me “mean”. Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.?
小題1: How many children does the writer’s mother have??
A．Four.B．Two.C．Three.D．Six. ?
小題2: What can you infer(推測) from the passage??
A．My family was rich, so I ate a sandwich for lunch.?
B．My mother was a great success. We love her.?
C．If we didn’t want to go to school, the best way was to pretend to be sick.?
D．We needn’t share the housework at home. ?

A．My childhoodB．The meanest mother?
C．I do as my mother didD．Unforgettable memories
