Once there was an island in the sea. All the feelings lived on the island: Happiness, Sadness, Love, and all of the others.
One day, all the feelings knew that the island would sink (沉沒), so they prepared to       . But Love decided to stay. When the island was         sinking, Love asked for help.
First, Love asked Richness, “Can you        me with you?” Richness answered. “No. There is a lot of        in my boat. There is no place for you.” Love asked Vanity (虛榮), “Please help me!” “I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might make my boat      .” Vanity answered. Then Love asked Sadness, “Sadness, let me go with you.” “Oh, I am so sad that I need to be       !” Later, Happiness passed by, but she was too happy to       Love’s voice!
Suddenly, there was a voice, “Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. Love felt so excited that she         to ask his name.
When they arrived at a       place, the elder went away. Love asked Knowledge, “Who helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “But        did Time help me?”   Knowledge smiled and answered, “Because only Time can understand how great Love is.”

Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. That means that we’re always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn’t like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearly family who has a little kid? That’s one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. It’s also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.
Here are some other ways to help save resources (資源)for the society:
★Use the other side of the paper.
★Use rechargeable (可再充電的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.
★ Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.
★Take your own cloth shopping bags when you go shopping.
★ Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.
And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.
小題1:The underlined word "ours" in the passage refers to (指代) _______.
A．our societyB．our old things
C．our lifeD．our throwaway things
小題2:According to the writer, if we give a second - hand toy car to a neighbor kid, we can____.

Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.
Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重視) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.
Here are a few ways to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don’t enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.
The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!
小題1: The underlined word “wealthy” means “__________” in the article.
A．pleasedB．healthyC．excitedD．rich

A．get money and something they can’t buy with money
B．do what they want to do at any time
C．enjoy health which makes them work hard

When something becomes fashionable very quickly , we say that it’s a “craze”. The latest craze is sometimes a style of clothes or a hairstyle. Sometimes it is a game or a TV programme.
In the 20th century a lot of crazes started in the USA and then became popular in the USA andthen became popular in other parts of the world. American youth culture has spread through tourism , TV , films, magazines and music videos.
One of the biggest crazes was the hula hoop（呼啦圈）. Hula hoops are not popular now, but in the1950s they were a sensation.  An American company called Wham-O started to make plastic（塑料的）hoops toys, and in the USA the company sold 100 million hoops in a year.
Frisbees（飛盤）were another Wham-O product（產(chǎn)品）. Some people say that the idea
started in the factory of the Frisbee Baking Company in Connecticut. Workers there threw metal pans to each other during their breaks. Two businessmen made a plastic type of the flying pans,  and sold their products to Wham-O. They became a big business.
So businesses usually help to produce a craze. Yoyos were another example. In the Philippines,  where its name means “comeback”, the yoyo was a popular toy in the 1920s. But it didn’t become a global (世界性的) craze until an American called Donald Duncan bought the idea and sold it to the world. Around 100 million people bought yoyos in 1962 and 1963.
Most crazes come and go, but sometimes they survive. When the big skateboard started in California in 1965, many parents and governments said that the boards were dangerous, and they were not allowed in some areas. But the boards became popular again and they are still an important part of youth culture today.
小題1:What is a “craze” ?
A. A special culture in the western country.
B. Something that is liked by the young.
C. Something that first spreads in the USA.
D. Something that becomes very popular over a short period (時期) of time.
小題2:What does the underlined word “sensation” mean ?
A．昂貴的物品
B．值得珍藏的物品
C．轟動一時的物品
D．曇花一現(xiàn)的物品
小題3:What fact does the passage provide ?
A．All crazes in the world come and go quickly.
B．Skateboards are not allowed in most areas of America.
C．In the last century the USA introduced many new crazes.
D．Crazes have nothing to do with culture.

A．Something about Crazes
B．Wham-O products

Sports, drama, and all kinds of organizations keep students busy during high school. Where do they get the money to do these things? Not everyone gets it from parents. Most have to work for at least some of the money to pay for these activities. Some adults question if high school students should have jobs. I say yes, they undoubtedly should.
Some people worry that teens with after-school jobs will have difficulty finding time for schoolwork. Actually, having a job helps teens make better use of their time. Many jobs take only a couple of hours on weeknights. According to an article, 86 percent of high school students have an after-school, weekend or summer job and students who work between 10 and 20 hours per week during the school year get higher grades than those who do not work at all. Instead of considering working after school a hindrance, it should be looked at as real-world education.
Other people think that work adds too much stress（壓力）, which may be somewhat true, but whether having a job or not, there is always stress. Better to learn how to deal with busy schedules（日程表）in a controlled environment like high school than to be out on your own and alone in the future, experiencing stress for the first time. I personally would be worried about the teenager who has to become independent without having any experience of working.
The biggest reason teens should work is that it is a healthy way of making money. There are many things teens need to pay for and they cannot do it if they don’t have a job. Not all parents can pay for these activities. My dad told me, “Having a job is a good way to save up for things you are going to need or want to do. You get a lot more out of things if you pay for them yourself.” The sooner kids make money, the sooner they can learn how to use money wisely. If they are not allowed to work in high school, they may have a hard time in the future. Teens should, without a doubt, be allowed to work on school nights.
小題1:The word “hindrance” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.
A．something that encourages teens to study
B．something that helps teens improve study
C．something that prevents teens from studying
D．something that makes teens lose interest in study
小題2:What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．Teens are too busy with study to work at high school.
B．Teens experience stress for the first time at high school.
C．Teens are worried about being independent in the future.
D．Teens who work will deal with stress better in the future.
小題3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Working makes teens get lower grades.
B．Working teaches teens to spend money more wisely.
C．Working helps teens to get on better with their parents.
D．Working stops teens from taking part in after-school activities.
小題4:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．What money means to teens.
B．Why teens should work after school.
C．Whether parents should help teens find jobs.
D．How teens get money for after-school activities.

For years and years people have been saying that railways are dead. “We can do without railways,” people say—as if cars and planes have made railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly competitive with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’t stop you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does.
Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which are traveling 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we can’t fly in because we don’t have enough money to buy the oil.
小題1:Some people think railways are dying because______.
A．planes and cars are expensive
B．oil is expensive today
C．trains are slow
D．railways look ugly
小題2:The writer thinks that railways are much alive because___________.
A．they are cheaper and more convenient
B．there aren’t any planes or cars
C．we can have a comfortable journey
D．we feel dangerous on highways
小題3:According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?
A．It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane
B．The railway station is usually at the center of the city.
C．When you get off a plane you will find yourself right in the city center.
D．No car or plane can carry as many goods as a train.
小題4: What does the underline word competitive prefer to?
A．參與性的B．性價比高的
C．競爭性的D．對比性的
小題5: The best title for this passage may be __________.
A．Which is the Best, Train, Car or Plane?
B．Railways, not the End, but the Beginning
C．Trains are More Competitive than Cars or Planes
D．Oh, Super-fast Trains
