Two years ago, Martin was a “problem child” and he often caused a lot of trouble. But he didn’t usually give his mother much trouble. However, after his father’s death, Martin’s life became much more     . His mother didn’t have enough money to        for his education. To do this, she had to work hard, and so she was not often at home with him.
His mother looked after him as         as she could, but Martin still caused problems. He was not interested in       and he was often in trouble with the police. Luckily, his mother was very patient, and didn’t give up trying to help him. In the end, she made a difficult decision: to send him to a boys’ boarding school (寄宿學校). But Martin       it very much. One day, he told his head teacher he wanted to leave the      . The head teacher said it was necessary for Martin to talk with his       . So Martin called his mother. To his surprise, this phone call changed his life.
“    was really what I needed,” he said later. “My mother helped me to understand how much she had given me. She also told me that my father was watching me, _   he had died, and he would always be proud of everything good I did. I realized that after my father died, I was         to be alone, and I tried to make my mother pay more attention to me.”
Martin has really changed, and he is now a      student in his class. How was he able to change? His mother’s love helped _      to feel good about himself. As Martin says it’s very important for parents to be there for their children.

Two people sit down to play Go（圍棋）. One of the players is an old man. He is now 89 years old. He has spent all of his life playing this game. The other person is a young woman. She has been playing Go for only three years. Before this, the woman was an expert at playing computer games. Now she plays Go the same way she played computer games---by becoming a machine herself.
They will play many games, until they know who the winner is. The woman shows no feelings but thinking about all the possible ways of placing her next stone. The old man, on the other hand, looks at the movements of her hands and of her face. This has always helped him to win.
He wins the first three games. She wins the next game, and the man is surprised. He has never lost to a woman. The old man worries about the way the young woman is playing the game. He can’t read her face, he does not understand her way of playing.
“The way I think about the game”, says the woman, “is that it is steps for getting what I want.” Again, the old man is surprised. For him, the game is a way of life itself, and not a model of life. “There is no more beauty any longer. Everything is science and rules. Everything is about winning. Nothing is about playing,” he says.
They cannot agree with each other, but it is not necessary. “Change is a necessary part of life”, thinks the man. “Playing is as important as winning”, thinks the woman.
They start to play their final game.
小題1: According to the passage, the Go games are played by           .
A．Two Go beginnersB．two Go lovers
C．father and daughterD．husband and wife
小題2:. Before the woman plays Go, she  was
A．a(chǎn) computer game playerB．a(chǎn) computer science teacher
C．a(chǎn) computer engineerD．a(chǎn) computer store owner
小題3:. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The old man loses the third game to the woman.
B．The old man wins all the games against the woman.
C．The woman has her own way of playing Go.
D．The woman is very slow in learning how to play Go.
