Here is an interview with a painter. Read and choose the best.
Reporter:Mr Shum, you were one of Taiwan’s most outstanding youths last year. Why was that?
Mr Shum:Well, I can tell you that there are two reasons.First, I am a painter. Second, and more important reason is I am handicapped﹙殘疾的﹚。I have no arms and only one leg.
Reporter:Well, how do you paint then if you’ve got no arms? Do you use your foot?
Mr Shum:Hah! For some handicapped people, it’s true and they are able to use their feet.No,I use my mouth. I put my paintbrush or my crayons or pencils or whatever I am using in my mouth. I hold it firmly in my teeth and paint or draw like that. It was a little strange for me at first, but it quickly became very easy.
Reporter:I know you feel that you are first a painter and only secondly that you are a disablbed person, but can we talk first about your handicap?
Mr Shum:Well,in fact I think of myself firstly as a person, secondly as a painter and thirdly as someone with a physical handicap. Can I say that I am not happy with the word “handicapped”?
I am a popular painter because my paintings are good, not because they were painted by a handicapped person. “handicapped”means you can’t do anything. It is difficult for me to do some things like getting dressed.
Reporter: Were you born with your handicap?
Mr Shum:No. An accident happened to me when I was 15 years old.After that I became depressed﹙沮喪﹚and even tried to end my life, but my mother was always there for me.

It may seem easy to say that plants and animals are different. Any child can tell the difference between  a tree and a dog. But those differences are far deeper than just what they look like. The cells (細(xì)胞) that plants are made up of are different. In other words, the cell wall of plants has something special.

First of all, it's important to find that not all plant cells have a cell wall. Besides, there are many differences of a cell wall based on the kinds of plant. The following is meant to be what a plant cell wall is  like.
The cell wall of a plant is on the outside of the cell membrane (膜). It is usually hard and cannot be bent easily, but the degree of flexibility (韌性) of the cell wall is different. It is based on the special use that the cell has in keeping the plant alive. Cells that make up the trunk of a tree are clearly less flexible than  cells on a leaf.
Cell walls act in many ways. They serve to protect the plant. They provide support, as well as help in the movement of chemicals and wastes into and out of the cell.  More importantly, they control the water  that goes in and out.  Plants must have good water controlling systems (系統(tǒng)), allowing them to keep water during dry seasons, and get rid of unnecessary water. Plants can't walk around to find water, so  being able to control water is very important.
So there you have it , what a plant cell wall is. Of course, there are many other things that are not talked about here. Knowing more about plant cell wails requires further study and research.
小題1:From the first two paragraphs we can find that _____.
A．a(chǎn)ll plants have a ceil wall
B．plant cells and animal cells are the same
C．different kinds of plant have different cell walls
D．there are no differences between the cells of a tree and a dog
小題2:The underlined word "bent" in the passage is the closest in meaning to _____.
A．變形的B．防水的C．太陽(yáng)灼傷的D．表皮破損的
小題3:Cells in the trunk of a tree are _____ those on a leaf.
A．a(chǎn)s flexible asB．not so flexible as
C．more important thanD．less important than
小題4:What is the most important use of a plant cell wall?
A．To protect the plant.B．To provide support.
C．To move chemicals and wastes.D．To control the water.

People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first, a mistake is a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things, you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is: “you can’t” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. For example, Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes. We shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly, because our time and money are limited(有限的)
There is an old saying, “if you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn, and grow, and succeed.
小題1:If you are making a mistake, that means__________.
A．you’re carefulB．you’re kind
C．you’re growingD．you know nothing
小題2:If you never try new things, you can’t___________.
A．improveB．createC． spendD．A and B
小題3: After Edison failed 10,000 times, he__________.
A．gave upB．invented the light bulb
C．invented the computerD．invented 10,000 new things
小題4:When you make a mistake, you are closer to___________.
A．timeB．moneyC．successD．new things
小題5: What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Never make mistakes
B．You can make mistakes without thinking
C．Sometimes it’s good to make mistakes
D．Making mistakes is terrible

"The word "sport" first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they leant to. A few people are paid for sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional football player in England earns more than 300,000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500,000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much as that.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply mean, "Buy our things". It says, "Buy the same shirt and shoes as…". Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people's spare time.
小題1:From the passage we can learn that         .
A．famous people spend too much money and time on sports
B．The development of sports is slower than any other activity
C．Most people enjoy sports because they can earn a lot of money
D．Now sports is not only an amusement for people
小題2:In this passage "professional sportsmen" means people "        ".
A．who teach others how to make money in sports
B．who take sports as their jobs
C．who are very fond of sports
D．who teach other sportsmen how to play sports
小題3:Now, the "sport" means                 .
A．what most of the people do in their spare time
B．hunting wild animals and birds in the forests
C．organized games
D．something that people are paid to
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Most people play sports only for money.
B．Those who play sports earn more than those who do not.
C．People play sports for different purposes.
D．Those who play sports want to keep strong and fit.

Yesterday and Today

The World's Largest Insect
This giant insect can be used as a toy. A child ties one end of a string to a stick and the other end around the "neck" of an insect. Holding the stick, the child lets the insect go. With a loud whirring sound, the insect takes off, pulling the string in a large curve over the child's head. The child laughs as the stick jumps around. The child is African, and the toy is the African Goliath beetle, the largest insect in the world. 
The Goliath is a true insect because it has six legs and a body that is divided into three parts. Like all beetles, it has two pairs of wings. The front pair are thick and stiff and protect the back pair, which are soft. It is these soft back wings that make the beetle fly forward. They also cause the loud whirring sound the beetle makes when it flies. To steer, the beetle twists and turns its legs the same way you steer a bike by turning its front wheel. 
African children often use the Goliath beetle as a toy. Although it is over 15 centimeters long, it is quite harmless. 
小題1:The African Goliath beetle is _______.  
A．the world's largest insect
B．a(chǎn) toy used in many parts of the world
C．the only insect found in Africa
D．the world's smallest insect
小題2:What made the whirring sound that the child heard?
A．The curved string.B．The beetle's soft wings.
C．The beetle's six legs. D．The beetle's body.
小題3:We know the Goliath beetle is a true insect because it _______.  
A．makes a whirring sound when it flies
B．has both soft and hard wings
C．has six legs and a body with three parts
D．can fly
小題4: When flying, the Goliath steers by_______.  
A．turning its soft back wings
B．twisting and turning its hard front wings
C．twisting and turning its legs
D．twisting and turning its whole body
