　　：奇蹟值多少錢?

　　An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.

　　When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.

　　She hurried to a drugstore ***藥店*** with the money in her hand.

　　“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman.

　　“My brother Andrew has something bad growing in¬side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.

　　“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”

　　A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”

　　“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an opera¬tion. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”

　　“How much do you have?” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.

　　“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers.”

　　He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

　　That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.

　　How much did the miracle cost?

　　根據以上短文內容，然後從每題所給的四個選項中選擇最佳選項。

　　D. Andrew was in fact not so sick as they had thought

　　【答案及解析】

　　1. 選 D。根據第1段中的All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money可知答案。

　　2. 選 C。由於這個小女孩的家很窮，而她的兄弟又病得那樣重，所以她的父親說Only a miracle can save him now，小女孩聽了之後便翻出她所有的“積蓄”去藥店購買miracle，由此可見，小女孩可能認為miracle是一種什麼很神奇的藥。注：miracle的實際意思是“奇蹟”，Only a miracle can save him now的意思是“只有出現奇蹟才可能救得了他” ***from

　　3. 選 D。The urchin 要Paul把車停在他家門前後，立即扶著他殘疾的弟弟出來，讓他看看Paul的車，然後告訴弟弟他想為他做的事，所以他只是想告訴他弟弟他的願望。

　　4. 選 C。The urchin在坐過Paul的車後沒有忘記弟弟，並且承諾也要給弟弟買一輛車，可見他對弟弟有著一份深深的愛。答案選C，而A、B、D三項與文章不符。

　　5. 選 C。通讀全文，我們不得不為The urchin 的行為所感動，他是一個好哥哥。文章就是講述了他這樣的一位好哥哥，C選項最合適。

　　A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin***頑童*** was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.

　　Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…” He hesitated***猶豫***. Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I’d love to,” the boy answered.

　　After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you mind driving in front of my house?”

　　Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.

　　He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled***殘疾的*** brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car.

　　“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”

　　：worth more than anything could buy

　　撿錢不還雖可享用一時，但良心會一輩子不安;拾金不昧雖有點一時不忍，但那種感覺將會worth more than anything could buy。

　　I worked for a short time as a cashier***出納員*** at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable***有價值的*** in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”. At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash***現金***. He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward***酬勞*** for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.

　　Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.

　　根據以上短文內容，然後從每題所給的四個選項中選擇最佳選項。

　　1. Which of the following is true?

　　A. The owner of the wallet found a twenty-dollar bill gone.

　　B. The writer wasn’t surprised when the man gave her a reward.

　　C. Nothing in the wallet was missing.

　　D. The man was very, very excited when he got his wallet back.

　　2. The writer returned the wallet to the owner because _______.

　　A. she thought Christmas was coming

　　B. the owner came back too soon

　　C. she didn’t know there was so much money in it

　　D. as an honest person, she didn’t care much about money

　　3. Which of the following is NOT true?

　　A. The writer accepted a reward of $ 20.

　　B. The writer regretted***後悔*** that she had returned the wallet.

　　C. The writer didn’t return the wallet until the owner came back.

　　D. The writer fell very happy after she returned the wallet.

　　【答案及解析】

　　1. 選C。由於作者並未開啟錢包，更沒有從中取出什麼，所以說Nothing in the wallet was missing。

　　2. 選B。根據文章最後一段中的Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it可排除選項C和D。比較選項A和B，再結合文章大意，選B為佳***from

　　3. 選B。此題可用排除法來做：根據第1段最後兩句He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away可知選項A與文章內容相符;選項B的意思是“作者直到失主返回來才將錢包還給他”，這顯然與文章內容相符;根據第2段最後一句話The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy可知，選項D也與文章內容相符。

　　：學習不用功的後果

　　學習不用功可能挨老師的批評，考試不及格可能被父母打屁股，但你聽說過有學習不用功要被釘死在十字架上的嗎?本文中的Little Tommy就是這樣想的。

　　Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors ***家庭教師***, cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic ***天主教的*** school.

　　After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread ***鋪開*** out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.

　　Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity ***好奇心***. She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns ***修女***?”

　　Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”

　　“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”

　　Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed ***釘*** to the plus sign ***加號***, I knew they weren’t joking. ”

　　根據以上短文內容，然後從每題所給的四個選項中選擇最佳選項。

　　1. Why did Tommy’s parents send him to a catholic school?

　　A. Because he could eat well there.

　　B. Because he could earn more about nuns.

　　C. Because his parents wanted him to do better in his math.

　　D. Because his parents didn’t want him to learn math any more.

　　2. Tommy’s mother felt surprised that his son _______.

　　A. was still the same as usual

　　B. ate so much at dinner

　　C. kissed her hello after school

　　D. worked hard but said little

　　3. “Hitting the books” means “_______” in Chinese.

　　A. 用功

　　B. 捶書

　　C. 發洩

　　D. 振作

　　4. The last sentence in the passage shows that _______.

　　A. Tommy felt sorry for the mail

　　B. Tommy was afraid of being nailed

　　C. Tommy didn’t like the plus sign

　　D. Tommy liked playing jokes on others

　　5. From the passage, we can infer ***推斷*** that _______.

　　A. teachers should be strict with their students

　　B. mistaking ***誤解*** might do good sometimes

　　C. a catholic school is much better than other ones

　　D. nuns are good at helping children with their math

　　【答案及解析】

　　1. 選C。文章第1段說Tommy數學學不好，其父母想盡了一切辦法都不奏效，最後將他送進了一所天主教的教會學校。

　　2. 選D。認真閱讀第2段前面幾句話，並注意以下資訊：After the first day, little Tommy came home…didn’t kiss his mother hello…was hard at work…without a word. 可知答案應選D。

　　3. 選A。根據文章大意和Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books這個句子的語境，可知hit the books的意思是“用功”。

　　4. 選B。Tommy學習一直不用功，但自從進了這所catholic school之後，情況就不一樣了——整天都發狠讀書，結果數學考試也得了A。這是為什麼呢?文章在最後道出了其原因：Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed ***釘*** to the plus sign ***加號***, I knew they weren’t joking. 由此可知，Tommy是擔心學習不用功會被釘在十字架上。

　　5. 選B。Tommy把the man nailed to the plus sign誤解為“學習不用功的結果”，從而一改自己原來不好學的不良習慣，很快就把數學成績趕了上去。可見，誤解有時也可以起到好的效果。

　　：see the doctor

　　A man went to see his doctor one day, because he was suffering from pains in his stomach. After the doctor had examined him carefully, he said to him, “Well, there’s nothing really wrong with you, I’m glad to say. Your only trouble is that you worry too much. Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you here a few weeks ago, and I gave him the same advice as I am going to give you. He was worried because he couldn’t pay his tailor’s bills. I told him not to worry about the bills any more. He took my advice and when he came to see me again two days ago, he told me that he now felt quite all right again. ” “Yes, I know all about that,” answered the patient sadly. “You see, I’m that man’s tailor!”

　　根據以上短文內容判斷正誤，正確的用“T”表示，錯誤的用“F”表示。

　　1. The tailor went to see his doctor because he has got a headache.

　　2. There is nothing serious with the tailor.

　　3. A man with the same trouble as the tailor a few days ago.

　　4. The doctor gave the man and the tailor the same advice.

　　5. The tailor was worried because a man couldn’t pay his bills.

　　【答案及解析】

　　1. 選F。根據第1句A man went to see his doctor one day, because he was suffering from pains in his stomach可知本題是錯誤的。

　　2. 選T。根據…there is no thing really wrong with you ***tailor***可知裁縫的身體並沒有什麼大礙，故可判斷此題與短文內容相符。

　　3. 選F。根據句子Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you here a few weeks ago可知本題所敘述的時間與短文內容不一致，因此可判斷此題是錯誤的。

　　4. 選T。根據…and I gave him the same advice as I am going to give you可知答案。

　　5. 選T。通讀全文我們可知：上一個病人是擔心他自己不能付錢給他的裁縫，而這個裁縫的病因卻是因為擔心那個人不能付錢給他的。
