The couple enjoyed their children. They took care of small problems right away so they wouldnt become big problems. Fred says， “If you have trouble with one of your children， dont worry. Worry doesnt help， and in time your child will be all right.”

Can you imagine being able to remember every single experience of your life and every word in your favorite book？ Thats what Beckys life is like， and as wonderful as it sounds， it can also be quite terrifying at times.

Three years ago， Becky was reading a newspaper article which mentioned that it was impossible for people to remember the details of their life in the first three years. “What nonsense （胡說八道）！” she thought， because she could clearly remember her life all the way back to when she was just 12 days old. Her parents had carried her to the drivers seat of their car and laid her down for a photo. She was just one of only 80 known people who have a condition called HSAM （Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory）.

Beckys unusual condition was recently shown on a program called 60 Minutes， where reporter Allison tested her ability by asking her questions about her favorite book series， Harry Potter. Allison would pick up a book and open a page and read her a line. Immediately Becky would name the book， chapter number， chapter name and could recite every word until Allison told her to stop.

Being able to remember every little detail is a great ability， but it can be very hard to deal with. Forgetting is one of the things we use to get over sad experiences in our lives， but its something that people like Becky are unable to do. Even walking on the street and lightly bumping （撞） into somebody brings back memories from Beckys childhood， when a boy knocked her over. Also， like Becky， people with HSAM never do well in school， because they have problems filtering （過濾） through all the information， remembering only the important bits.

28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？

A. What people with HSAM feel like.

B. Why HSAM is unfamiliar to people.

C. How Becky knew she was different.

D. How Becky spent her early childhood.

29. Why did Allison ask Becky the questions on 60 Minutes？

A. To help treat Beckys illness.

B. To advertise Harry Potter.

C. To test Beckys ability to remember.

D. To encourage other kids to read.

30. What may trouble Becky according to the text？

A. She cant forget her painful experience.

B. She feels tired remembering everything.

C. She cant get along well with other kids.

D. She is different from other kids of her age.

31. Why does Becky do poorly at school？

A. She feels sad every time she studies.

B. She remembers too much information.

C. She cant deal with difficult problems.

D. She cant understand the teacher in class.

D

The way of womens life has changed a lot. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a womans life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties， and would be likely to have seven or eight children， of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen， the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years， and be unlikely to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement.

Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However， when they get married， they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen， but many girls stay at school after that age， and though women tend to marry younger， more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards， return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage， with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life.

32. How old did most women get married around the year 1890？

A. At about twenty-five.

B. In their early twenties.

C. As soon as they were fifteen.

D. At any age from fifteen to forty-five.

33. What is TRUE about children at the end of the 19th century？

A. Many died before five.

B. Four from five died at five.

C. Few of them had brothers or sisters.

D. Seven from eight lived to be more than five.

34. In the late 19th century， a woman ___ .

A. would expect to work until she died

B. was much unlikely to find a job in her fifties

C. was usually expected to take up paid employment

D. would be healthy enough to take up paid employment

35. According to the text， many girls are now likely to ___ .

A. marry in order to get a job

B. leave school as soon as they can

C. continue working until they have had a baby

D. give up their jobs for ever after they are married

第一節 短文改錯（共10小題;每小題1分，滿分10分）

Last weekend we decide to spend a day in the country. The only trouble was that other people had exactly same idea. We moved out of the city slowly behind a long line of car. At last we came to a quiet country road and， before some time， stopped on a lonely farm. We got our food out of the car but sat down near a path at the foot of a hill. It was very peace in the cool grass—until we heard of bells ringing at the top of the hill. That we saw made us pick up our things and ran back to the car. Hundreds of sheep was coming toward us down the path！
