I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (觀點(diǎn)) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.

With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文學(xué)作品)．As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

What can be inferred about the author as a child?

A.  He never watched TV.            B.  He read what he had to.

C.  He found reading unbelievable.    D.  He considered reading part of his life.

The underlined word "voice" in the second paragraph most probably means “       ”.

A. an idea                                            B. a sound quality

C. a way of writing                                          D. a world to write about

What effect does reading have on the author?

A. It helps him to realize his dream.       B. It opens up a wider world for him.

C. It makes his college life more interesting .D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.

Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

A. Why do I read?                                           B. How do I read?

C. What do I read?                                   D. When do I read?

My newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job，so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards，not drivers．This suited me．I couldn’t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train，and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations．The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors．T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company．I’d be a subway guard．I could see myself being cheerful，useful，a good man in a crisis. Obviously I’d be over qualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges-those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre．

The next day I sat down，with almost a hundred other candidates，for the intelligence test．I must have done all right because after about half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test．This time there were only about fifty candidates．The interviewer sat at a desk．Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed，after a greater or shorter time．Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones．Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes．Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half．

I can remember the questions now：“Why did you leave your last job?”“Why did you leave your job before that?”“And the one before that?”I can’t recall my answers，except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter．His closing statement，I thought，evealed(揭示)a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist，he had risen no higher than the underground railway．“You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position．”

Failing to get that job was my low point．Or so I thought，believing that the work was easy．Actually，such jobs—being a postman is another one I still desire—demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give．But I was still far short of full self-understanding．I was also short of cash．

【小題1】The writer applied for the job chiefly because         .

       A．he wanted to work in the centre of London

       B．he could no longer afford to live without one

       C．he was not interested in any other available job

       D．he had received some suitable training

【小題2】The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because         .

       A．he often traveled underground

       B．he had written many poems

       C．he could deal with difficult situations

       D．he had worked in a company

【小題3】The length of his interview meant that         .

       A．he was not going to be offered the job

       B．he had not done well in the intelligence test

       C．he did not like the interviewer at all

       D．he had little work experience to talk about

【小題4】What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?

       A．How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be

   B．How difficult it is to be a poet

       C．How unsuitable he was for the job

       D．How badly he did in the interview

【小題5】What’s the writer’s opinion of the psychologist?

       A．He was very aggressive

       B．He was unhappy with his job

       C．He was quite inefficient

       D．He was rather unsympathetic

Can you remember a morning when you’ve woken up to the ring of your alarm clock and wished you could stay in bed? You haven’t slept well, your hair is a mess. Worse, you can’t stop yawning. Yawning is universal to humans and many animals. Cats, dogs and fish yawn just like humans do! Yawning is an involuntary(無意識的,不自覺的) action during which you open your mouth and breathe deeply. The average duration of a yawn is about 6 seconds.
The purpose and cause of yawning are still a mystery. Scientists are not sure what causes a yawn. People yawn when they are tired or bored, but they also yawn when they aren’t. There are many ideas explaining why we yawn.
One idea is that yawning is a way for the body to become more alert by taking in more oxygen. A yawn increases the heart rate, forces carbon dioxide out of the lungs and blood stream, and brings oxygen to the brain. But one study showed that volunteers given a lot of oxygen did not yawn any less than before, while those given a lot of carbon dioxide did not yawn more.
Another idea is that early humans used yawning as a form of communication. If one decided it was time to sleep, they would tell the others by yawning and they would do it in return to show they agreed.
A third explanation comes from psychology professor Gordon Gallup of University at Albany in New York. He said that as people yawn, they cool off their brains. “Brains are like computers.” he said. “They only operate efficiently and effectively when they’re cool. Many things connected to yawning, like being tired, make the brain hot, and yawning can reduce the heat.”
Scientists have sent people into space, and created terrible nuclear weapons, but there are lots of seemingly simple things, such as why we yawn, or hiccup（打嗝）, that they can’t figure out. Next time you are in class in the morning, let out a big yawn and watch to see how many of your classmates yawn in response!
【小題1】What’s the purpose of the description of how bad you may feel when you’re woken up in the morning?

A．To explain why humans yawn.
B．To explain how humans start yawning.
C．To lead into the topic of yawning.
D．To complain about being woken up by the clock.
【小題2】Which is not among the possible reasons for yawning mentioned in the passage?
A．A way to show that you feel hot.
B．A way to get rid of carbon dioxide.
C．A way to cool off your brain.
D．A way to communicate.
【小題3】In which situation are you likely to yawn?
A．When you feel frustrated.
B．The weather is hot.
C．Someone else yawns near you.
D．When you breathe in a lot of carbon dioxide.
【小題4】What can we learn from the passage?
A．The real reason why humans and most animals yawn.
B．Hiccups are an involuntary human action similar to yawns.
C．The more an action can be studied, the easier it is to research.
D．Finding out why humans yawn should be easier than sending people into space.
