Some years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (美洲鱷) was swimming toward the shore.
His father working in the yard saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear, he ran toward the water, yelling to his son as loudly as he could.
Hearing his voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U – turn to swim to his father. It was too late. Just as he reached his father, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the father grabbed his little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug – of – war (拔河) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the father, but the father was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, took aim and shot the alligator.
Remarkably, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his father’s fingernails dug into his fresh in his effort to hang on to the son he loved.
The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my dad wouldn’t let go.”
You and I can identify with that boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friend, are because someone has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, someone has been there holding on to you.
If you have the scars of someone’s love on your arms, be very, very grateful. Someone in your life did not and will not ever let you go.
Never judge another person’s scars, because you don’t know how they got them.
Which of the following is the most closely related to the underlined word “passionate”?
A. determined B. anxious C. frightened D. courageous
When the boy told the newspaper reporter about the scars on his arms, he felt .
A. painful and fearful B. regretful and panic
C. proud and grateful D. excited and thankful
In the story the writer intends to tell us that .
A. scars always remind people of their past experiences
B. wounds in the mind are more painful than those in the body
C. a painful past always leaves scars on a person’s mind
D. scars do not necessarily mean pain at all times
Which of the following viewpoints will the writer most probably agree with?
A. Be grateful to a painful past, for you can always learn something from it.
B. Other people’s criticism or blame may hurt you, but if it is for your own good, you should take it thankfully.
C. The swimming hole of life is filled with danger, but you don’t need to be too serious about it as someone will never let you go.
D. If someone hurts you, be grateful to them, for they mean no harm

Head held high, hands firmly gripping her walker, Mary Arnott, 99, walks slowly with dignity through the women’s changing room at the Etobicoke Olympium pool, past the teenage girls who have been blow-drying their hair for half an hour, into the mist of the showers, then out the door and first one into the heated pool. She jumps over to the shallow end, stopping to talk to friends—everyone knows Arnott here;she swims twice a week and treats it as a job—about their children, the viciousness（謬誤）of bridge and their health.
In fact, Arnott is an exception to the exception. Not only has she lived 20 years past the average lifespan for Canadians, she’s healthy, her mind is sharp and she lives independently.
Born in Brooklyn on May 28, 1909, Arnott was raised on Staten Island. She survived scarlet fever（猩紅熱）, helped bring up four siblings（兄弟姐妹）after her mother died in 1923 and worked as a secretary in New York City for 12 years, earning＄35 a week and a＄150 bonus at Christmas.
Now she’s happy living in a one-room apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom in her daughter’s house. She wears a hearing aid, does the cryptic crossword（有隱義的縱橫字謎）with a magnifying glass, and can’t really explain why she has lived so well so long.
Until recently, she has still liked to drink red wine—she used to drink two glasses before supper each day. It’s more likely genes, she admits. Her interest in other people and life in general may have had something to do with it. Asked if a star photographer can take her picture at the pool, Arnott seems cheerful.
“I look good in a swimsuit, ” she says, nodding her head firmly. “I look better in a swimsuit than I do in pants. ”
31. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Mary Arnott likes to swim and is known to the local people.
B. Mary Arnott is afraid to swim at the swimming pool.
C. Mary Arnott can’t swim but she likes water.
D. Mary Arnott just likes to talk to her friends at the bank of the swimming pool.
32. Which of the following is TRUE as for Mary Arnott as an exce
ption to the exception?
A. She has lived 30 years past the average lifespan for Canadians.
B. She’s healthy and her mind is sharp.
C. She lives with her daughter.
D. She likes to live with her children and has a happy life.
33. What happened when Mary Arnott was 14?
A. She had a disease called scarlet fever but survived.
B. Her mother died and she had to help her father to bring up her sisters and brothers.
C. She found a job as a secretary in New York City.
D. She was born in Brooklyn.
34. What may Mary Arnott think of her living alone?
A. Bitter. B. Happy.
C. Meaningless. D. Boring.
35. If someone asks about swimming, Mary Arnott may ________.
A. like pants B. like swimsuit better
C. like to sit at the bank D. like to swim with girls

C
People think being an artist must be a wonderful way to earn one's living. Of course, there are lots of great things about working for oneself, at home alone. What I really like is that nobody tells me what time to start in the morning, what to wear; or whether I can take the afternoon off and go to a football match.
But then, I have no one to chat with when I'm bored, no one to discuss last night's match with during the lunch-hour. Sure, I can spend the afternoon doing something I enjoy like swimming, walking the dog, or even sleeping, if I choose. But the work will still be there when I do finally get back home, and it's still got to be finished in time. Unfortunately, working at home means that people can always find me, whether I’m bored or not and once I’ve answered the doorbell, it's too late——my thoughts have been interrupted. No one would dream of calling if I worked in an office, but in an office I find myself making cups of coffee and listening to friends' troubles. As they talk, my ideas disappear and I feel increasingly stressed thinking of my work waiting to be done.
66. What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A. To encourage readers to work at home.
B. To explain why he has changed his job.
