  A new TV series in England,Away from it all,has surprised everyone by becoming a huge success with young people across the country.Its success is surprising because the series is about the relaxing lifestyles of people who live in the country.There is none of the action that we usually see on TV today.There are also no stressful moments,busy offices or crowded cities.Away from it all is set in the peaceful English countryside and tells simple stories about people’s kindness.

  Although the series’success might have a good side,many teachers and parents are worried,however.They say that some of their students and children are becoming couch potatoes***終日泡在電視機前的人***and are using Away from it all as an excuse for not completing homework.Some children have even refused to learn for exams because they say that they can only achieve personal happiness by avoiding***避免***stressful situations completely.

  And what do the experts***專家***say? Paula Ray,a doctor of education,says that TV can influence children’s lifestyles.But she says that if a child reacts strongly,it’s likely that there are other reasons for his change in behaviour.She says that there is nothing wrong with watching Away from it all but suggests that parents should make sure their children know TV is not the same as real life,

  There is an old saying that all of us are born with two bags hung on our necks. A small bag in front of our chest is filled up with other people's faults ***缺點***, while the big one at the back is full of our own shortcomings ***短處***.

  So it’s easy to find other people's faults, but it's hard for us to see our faults behind us.

  There was a boy, Tommy, who always opened the front bag to check what was in it. He saw other people's faults very quickly. When Simon was impatient with him, he said to Simon, "It's so easy for you to get angry. It is hard to be friends with you."

  He told his mother about Jack's dishonesty. "Jack takes my things without asking. He also forgets to return them." Tommy himself did not like sharing his things with anyone.

  When Johnny was too tired to play with him, he said, "'You are such a rude person."

  He thought Harry was too proud of his rich parents. But Tommy was as proud of himself because he could not see any of his own shortcomings! He could not understand why he did not get on well with others.

  If only Tommy would switch the bags around, he would discover his own impatience, dishonesty, bad manners and vanity ***虛榮***, which were no better than that of Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.

  58. Tommy thought it was hard to be friends with Simon because Simon was _________.

  A. impatient B. a rude person

  C. dishonest D. too proud of his rich parents

  59. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

  A, Tommy was a person liked by others.

  B, Tommy liked sharing his things with others.

  C. Tommy always discovered his own shortcoming.

  D. Maybe Tommy was no better than Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.

  60. In this passage, the writer mainly wanted to tell us ________.

  A. to be more patient

  B. not to be a person with vanity

  C. not to take others' things without asking

  D. to pay more attention to our own shortcomings

  D

  One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn***穀倉***, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing***擠***out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite***咬***the tail of the other.

  Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.

  After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.

  One serious American official said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard. “The others thought for a while and said: “That was why!” A smart French said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense. A Japanese said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.

  At that moment, one Chinese asked: “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship? “Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer.

  In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.

  *** *** 61. Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because ______.

  A. one was biting the other B. the mouth of the hole was too small

  C. they were not afraid of smoke

  D. one was trying to help the blind one

  *** *** 62. “it made sense” probably means ______.

  A. it was correct B. it was strange

  C. it was funny D. it was sweet

  *** *** 63. Why did they lower their heads in shame according to the passage?

  A. They did not dare to answer.

  B. They had mistaken the relationship of the mice.

  C. They regretted***後悔***driving a poor blind mouse away.

  D. They did not express themselves much better.

  *** *** 64. It is clear that ______.

  A. all the mice came out of the hole easily

  B. each of the people understood the relationship differently

  C. the people wanted to kill the mice with smoke

  D. the people knew one of the mice was blind at the first sight

  *** *** 65. The best title for the passage is ______.

  A. TWO LO VELY MICE B. HELP PRODUCES LOVE

  C. FRIENDS IN NEED D. LOVE IS ALL

Each year 1 million people die from smoking-related ***與吸菸有關的*** diseases. Smoking causes illnesses like lung cancer and heart disease.

  I Believe I Can Fly

  I Believe I Can Fly is a nice song by R.Kelly.This song tells us that confidence is very important.When a person has confidence,he believes in himself.He believes that he can and will succeed,and this gives him the courage to try new things.Dreams and confidence are what keep us going on in the face of difficulties.No one can achieve success without them.If you believe you can fly,then you can really fly someday.
