　　A woman brought a very limp-looking duck to see a vet. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope(聽診器) and listened to the bird’s chest.

　　After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, “I’m sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away.”

　　The woman was so disappointed and asked, “Are you sure?” “Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead,” replied the vet.

　　“How can you be so sure?” she protested. “I mean you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma(昏迷) or something.”

　　The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black dog. As the duck’s owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his back legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed(嗅) the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room.

　　A few minutes later, he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also carefully sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back down, shook his head meowed softly and went out of the room.

　　The vet looked at the woman and said, “I’m sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck.”

　　The vet turned to his computer, pressed a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.

　　The duck’s owner, still in shock, took the bill. “150 dollars!” she shouted. “150 dollars just to tell me my duck is dead!”

　　The vet shrugged, “I’m sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been 20 dollars, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it’s now 150 dollars.”

　　21. Why did the vet take a dog and a cat into the examination room?

　　A. To confirm (確認) the duck was dead.

　　B. To give to the woman as pets.

　　C. To comfort the woman.

　　D. To ask them to save the duck’s life.

　　C. Sad.

　　D. Delighted.

　　When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach(田徑教練). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.

　　About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, “John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn’t you play tennis instead? It seems that

　　would interest you a lot more, since you’re so good at it.” John answered, “Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason.”

　　From then on, I often remember my student’s reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical(不滿的) students can be of themselves, I’ve found that a simple “I trust that you can do it!” can go a long way!

　　24. According to Paragraph 1, what does the author seem to think more about?

　　A. John’s PE marks

　　B. John’s self-confidence

　　C. John’s interest in sports

　　B. He was encouraged by his teacher.

　　C. He liked running more than tennis.

　　D. He had no tennis coach to train him.

　　26. What’s the purpose of this passage?

　　A. to build a close teacher-student relationship

　　B. to introduce a new way of sports training

　　C. to explain the value of sports and games

　　D. to show the importance of encouragement

　　27. Who is the passage mainly written for?

　　A. teachers B. Parents

　　C. students

　　D. players

　　Animals, including insects, do not have a language like ours. They do not talk to each other in words and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways of communicating with each other.

　　Can you see the rabbits’ tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run too. The rabbit has reminded them of potential dangers without making a sound. It has given them a signal.

　　Many other animals use this kind of language. When a cobra(眼鏡蛇 is angry, it raises its hood(兜帽) and makes itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is.

　　Some animals say things by making sound. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs(貓的嗚嗚聲) when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sounds like “Oh” or “Ah!” when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes.

　　But we have something that no animals have－a large number of words which have the meanings of things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other all kinds of different information in words and sentences, which no other animals can do. No other animals have so wonderful a language as we have.

　　28. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? _____.

　　A. Animals do have a language like that of human beings

　　B. Bees communicate with each other by dancing

　　C. Some animals can use words

　　A. Human’s language is more wonderful than animals’ language

　　B. People should pay attention to animals’ body language and sounds

　　C. Animals have their own ways to communicate with each other

　　D. Animals are smarter than we think

　　31. Several different sounds can be made by a _____.

　　A. rabbit

　　B. bee

　　C. bird D. cat

　　I was an introvert (內向的人) by nature. For as long as I rememberputting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had never been easy. The key to a sincere smile however, is simple. It’s to be excited. But that’s the source of the problem. When meeting people, instead of being excited, I often felt upset.

　　But we all know friends are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you get, whether it’s job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. So a smile is important to make others feel comfortable. Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”

　　The smile I’m now talking about is not to make a face to cashiers(收銀員) or waiters. I’m talking about those wide smiles you make when meeting old friends. So I’ve discovered a trick. And I call this technique(技巧) “Oh, it’s Jamie!” When I meet someone, I imagine an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend when we were still kids. It’s no secret why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make. And it’s not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well.

　　And the best part, whenever you’re friendly to others, they turn friendly in return. You’re not hearing this from me. Some research done by scientists actually backs this claim. So do remember to give it a try.

　　Three years ago at the age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and decided that I was nothing. Tired of my life, I set about making dramatic changes and now I have become a popular writer. My success reflects(顯示) that nothing is too difficult if you try bravely.

　　32. What do we know from Mother Teresa’s words in Paragraph 2?

　　A. We can’t live without the help of our friends.

　　B. A smile is important to make others feel comfortable.

　　C. Many people don’t know the importance of a smile.

　　D. People who always smile are sure to have many friends.

　　33. Which of the following sayings can we infer from the passage?

　　A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. Every road leads to Rome.

　　C. A good beginning is half success. D. Try and try, never say die.

　　34. The author writes this passage mainly to ________.

　　A. tell us how to make friends B. tell us how he achieves success

　　C. encourage us to perfect our smile D. describe what a sincere smile is

　　35. From Paragraph 1 we learn that the author ________.

　　A. found it difficult to show a sincere smile to people

　　B. felt excited but nervous when meeting people

　　C. became an introvert because of his surroundings

　　D. didn’t want to smile at others
