Whenever I recall my childhood, there is one thing I remember clearly. My father used his 36 to let my mother 37 her parents who lived far away. There was just my younger brother and myself in the 38 . One evening, our father came home and there was no 39 , not even a piece of bread. My father had no money and he was as 40 as we were. My brother and I went to bed without having anything.
41 I knew from the expressions on my father’s face that he could not 42 us be hungry for long. He left the house, and about two hours later he 43 and woke us up. He had two small potato pies in his hands. I didn’t know where he got the money for the food but somehow he 44 to find a way. It was clear that he wanted to get his children 45 .
My father did not eat and had 46 all day but he sat there and felt 47 at seeing us eat. This has always stuck in my 48 . At that moment, I felt 49 knowing that he tried his best not to let us 50 , and he wanted us to know he was always there with us.
In 51 times, I think, it is important not to 52 weakness but strength. 53 the mother is the cement(黏合劑)that 54 a family together, then the father is the steel that strengthens that cement.
It is his values and 55 that have carried me forward and helped me deal with my own problems in life.

Never Save Something Beautiful for That Special Day
Years ago I was talking with a classmate in Sydney. At the time his wife had just passed away not too long ago. He told me while going through her things, he found a silk scarf _1 in a designer store when they had traveled to New York City. The scarf was beautiful, with elegant _2 , and a high price tag still hanging. His wife begrudged wearing it; she was _3 it for a special day.
He _4 at that moment; I didn’t say anything either. After a long pause he said: “Never save something beautiful for that special day. Each _5 day is a special day.”
Whenever I _6 what he had said, I would put down the things I was doing to grab a novel, turn on the music and lie down on the couch to _7 some time for myself. I would appreciate the glorious scenery of the Tanshui River through a French window, _8 the dust gathered on the glass. I would take my wife out to _9 , not thinking what to do with the meal already cooked. Life should be the experience we truly cherish, not days we just have to endure.
One time I shared the above conversation with a lady. When I saw her again, she told me that she no longer _10 the beautiful china in a cabinet. She had thought to save them for a special day, only to discover that it never _11 came. “Future”, “someday” are not contained in her _12 any more. If there are things that are pleasant or make her complacent, she wants to hear or see them now.
We often hope to gather with old friends, but always say, “let’s find a(n) _13 .” We often want to hug our grown children, but always wait for the appropriate moment. We often want to write to our spouses to express our strong affection or to show our deep admiration, but always tell ourselves that there is no need to _14 . In fact, each morning when we open our eyes, we should tell ourselves that this is a special day. Each day, each minute is so incredibly _15 .

We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests liked Kelly more, the younger one, enjoying her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a unusual girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.
But we seldom think of how it might affect（影響） the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being paid no attention. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying. I said, “What are you doing here, my dear?”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said,” Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Why don’t they say nice things about me as much?”
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging（擁抱） her to make her feel better.
Now whenever I visit a friend’s home. I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
【小題1】The underlined expression “make a big ‘to do’ over” (paragraph 4) means_______.
| A．show much concern about | B．have a special effect on |
| C．list jobs to be done for | D．do good things for |
| A．parents should pay more attention to the elder children |
| B．the younger children are usually more easily hurt |
| C．people usually like the younger children more |
| D．adults should treat children equally |
| A．the guests gave her more coats to carry |
| B．she didn't look as pretty as Kelly |
| C．the guests enjoyed her sister more than her |
| D．her mother didn’t introduce her the guests |

Dear Sir/Madam,
I read Alison Burnham’s review of When We were 12, and I do not agree with her. I thought the programme was wonderful — I found the old news pictures really interesting — they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.
The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket. I held out my hand with the money in it — one big coin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn’t catch the bus home — I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever I’ve been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I’m able to take control of the situation.
I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so-called “reality programmes”. I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.
Chris Daniels
72. What is Chris Daniels’ purpose of writing this letter?
A. To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows.
B. To entertain other readers with old news pictures.
C. To express his appreciation of the programme.
D. To have his story told on the programme.
73. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to _____.
A. describe how painful his early experience was
B. draw a direct response from Alison Burnham
C. show how the programme made him think
D. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson
74. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because _____.
A. he hadn’t got a return ticket B. he had lost his bus ticket
C. he didn’t like big crowds D. he missed the bus home
75. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus?
A. He should have told the conductor then. B. He should have been well treated.
C. He regrets going to school alone. D. He wishes it hadn’t happened.

閱讀下列短文及相關信息，并按照要求匹配信息：

A．When I take notes I always rewrite them. I also add things as I go, especially from the readings that I feel are important. This helps me remember things better and as I look things up in the text and add notes, it brings a deeper understanding of the material. |
|
B．When I have to learn a new word, I write down the word and its meaning in the back of my notebook. Then I make sure to use the word at least 7 times in the next week. I put a check next to the word each time I use it to be sure. This way I can remember that word better. |
|
C．I sit in the front of the classroom. That way there are no distractions between me and the teacher. The further back you sit, the more kids there are in front of you who can distract you. |
|
D．I watch my teachers carefully for clues about what’s most important. Some start moving around a lot, some raise their voice, and some start moving their hands about. When this happens, I write down what they’re saying in my notebook. |
E. Here are some tips on how to create a good study environment: Find a place to study and keep it for study only. Tool-up the environment with all study needs. Control the noise level at acceptable levels. Avoid relaxing while working.
F. When I work on math problems, I write each step as I do it. This makes me think carefully about what I am doing. If the answer doesn’t seem right, I can go back through the steps I wrote to see where I went wrong.
閱讀下列學習方面的問題，并與上面的經驗相匹配。
51. I love learning new words, but I’m confused about how to remember them well. Whenever I meet a new word, I look it up in the dictionary for its meaning and write it down. However, a few days later, I’ll forget what the word means. It’s really a headache.
52. I can’t concentrate on what the teacher says in class. I sit at the back of the classroom. What the students in the front row do always attracts my attention. I’m wondering if anyone else has the same problem.
53. It’s impossible to write down everything the teacher says in my notebook. I have been told to take down the important points, but how can I tell which points are important?
54. I take good notes in class. I’m curious to know how to make good use of these notes to improve my understanding. I’m often confused about how to deal with the notes.
55. I enjoy studying at home at night or over the weekend. But sometimes I just can’t focus. I think it’s the study environment that makes me not feel like studying. Who can tell me how to improve the study environment?

When I met the man who became my partner for life, we looked each other straight in the eye, and he told me I was beautiful inside and out．He meant it．My mama's love and encouragement were the spark that gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubt．I had faced adversity, encountered my problems head on, and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion for others．
"Hold your head up high," has been heard many times in my home．Each of my children has felt its invitation．The gift my mama gave me lives on in another generation．
