- Passage 1 -

One day a man saw an old lady standing by her expensive car， clearly in need of help. So he stopped his old truck and got out. Although he was smiling， the old lady was worried. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe.

The man could see that she was frightened， so in his friendliest voice he said， “I’m here to help you， madam. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way， my name is Bryan Anderson.” Bryan quickly fixed the car and the lady thanked him. Then she asked how much she should pay him.

But Bryan wanted no money. He was just giving a hand to someone in trouble. This was normal for him. He said， “If you really want to repay me， next time you see someone in need， help them and think of me.”

After saying goodbye， the lady continued down the road until she reached a small café where she decided to stop for something to eat. As the pretty waitress took her order， the lady noticed she was nearly eight months pregnant(懷孕). Although the waitress looked tired， she was very kind. As the lady was going to pay the $ 10 bill she remembered Bryan’s words.

She paid with a hundred-dollar bill. But when the waitress returned with the change the lady was gone. On the table she saw a small note. There were tears in her eyes when she read it: “Somebody once helped me the way I’m helping you. If you want to pay me back， continue being kind to others.” Under the note were more $ 100 bills.

Ding-Dong!

“Jason， honey? Can you answer the door?”

“I am busy， Mom!” Jason shouted back at his mother. He had spent three hours so far working to this point in the game. He couldn’t stop now.

Ding-Dong!Mom’s footsteps approached the front door.

“Jason， it’s your friend Todd.” Mom called from the doorway.

Todd， his best friend， stepped into the room. “Jason!I need a partner for playing basketball.” He sounded excitedly.

Jason snorted. “No way， Todd. I’m playing a game here.”

Jason gave his friend a dirty look， and his character in the game almost got killed while he looked away， “I almost died because of you!”

Todd looked at Jason’s mother. Jason’s mother looked back at him. They both looked at Jason. “Why don’t you play basketball with your friend?” Jason’s mother suggested.

“Tomorrow， maybe...” There were more levels to beat tomorrow， though. Maybe he had played tomorrow. He had have to see what mood he was in. He thought he heard footsteps walking away， but he was too busy beating the next level to care.

An hour later， Jason’s father came home. It was dinner time after his father washed up and sat down. Jason didn’t even hear his name being called to the table. He didn’t hear his father walk at behind him and ask him to turn the game off， either.

When the screen suddenly went black and his father’s angry face loomed in front of him， Jason finally heard. “No more game for a month.” Jason’s father shouted at him.“You don’t play basketball， you don’t come to dinner， and you don’t do your chores. We’ll make some everything else gets done before you play any more.”

- Passage 1 -

Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So， more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs， teachers find students’ posture (姿勢) and attention improve.

Dottie Pownall， a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia， USA， has been using balls as chairs for 3 years. “The students love them”， she says. Pownall took a survey of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.

The teacher， Pisa Witt， felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs， she started Witt Fitt. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. “Our products are used in 24 states， three provinces in Canada， Puerto Rico (波多黎各) and Japan，” says Witt. “Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter. You can slouch (低頭垂肩地坐) on a ball，” says Witt， “but it feels awful.” Because the students are moving， their blood (血液) increases. That carries more oxygen (氧氣) to the brain (大腦)， so the kids have more energy and can focus longer.

“Furthermore， they’re fun.” says Pownali.

( )1. What will happen if a student sits on a chair all day in school? The student will _______.

A. pay more attention to his lessons B. be fun

C. like to move around D. sit up straighter

( )2. How long has Dottie Pownall used the balls?

A. About three years. B. Only one year.

C. In 2008. D. Since he was a fifth-grade teacher.

( )3. In how many countries are the balls used as the students’ chairs?

A. Four. B. Three. C. Two. D. One.

( )4. Teachers choose balls instead of chairs because sitting on balls helps the kids _______.

A. improve the students’ posture and attention

B. slouch on the chairs

C. have fun

D. Both A and C are correct answers

( )5. Which is better for kids to study in class， sitting on a chair or sitting on a ball?

A. Sitting on a chair.

B. Sitting on a ball.

C. They are the same.

D. We don’t know.

- Passage 2 -

Shopping on the Internet is becoming more and more popular. Why do people use the Internet to shop? Some people say it is more convenient. They don’t have to leave their homes to order something; they can shop for anything they want at any time; they can find things for sale that they can’t find in the stores near their homes. Still other people say they can find better prices on the Internet.

If you want to buy something on the Internet， you need a credit (信用) card. You have to type your credit card number and information on the website (網頁) and send them to the store over the Internet. You have to be sure that the store will not use your information in the wrong way. You don’t want someone to get your credit card number， so be careful with it， beause people sometimes steal (竊取) credit card numbers from stores.

The Internet is also a good place to go window-shopping. Window-shopping is when you look at the things for sale in a store， but don’t plan to buy anything. In window-shopping you can see what kinds of things you are able to get and how much they cost. Some stores like Ross Stores have a website for information about their stores， but not for shopping. Some stores have a website for information about their stores， and can shop online there， such as Office Depot， Payless Shoe Source， Safeway. Some stores like Amazon. com are only for online shopping.

- Passage 1 -

Dear Disney，

Last weekend， the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom—Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical.

We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain， only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn’t take her ice cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice cream was not allowed on the ride.

Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy， one of the staff(員工) members， came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said， “Promise?” Then she gave Murphy her ice cream， and she completely enjoyed the ride.

Sure enough， as we walked out the exit， there was Gloria’s new friend with “her” ice cream.

Now you and I both know what happened， because we know that an ice cream won’t last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit. Gloria said， “Thank you，” but I’m sure she thought it was the same ice cream.

We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!

Your fan，

Carmen Rivera
