• 11．When we are kids，we don't know what we will overcome.At the age of thirteen，I fell ill.This illness lasted three years and I missed a lot of schooling.Doctors tried their best to help me as much as possible，but in the end this was something I just had to be used to.I felt little hope in life.However，in my junior year of high school，I had a turning point.I discovered my gift for writing and then I realized if I continued to let this problem hold me back，my dream would never come true.So my state of mind changed.Going through the difficulty also gave me the strong desire to write.Writing what mattered most to me helped me overcome what sickened me.
     During my freshman and sophomore（高中二年級的）year I did not learn much due to illness.So I became focused and determined and actually completed high school in two years instead of four.At the close of my junior year，I had straight A's and became an honor roll student.Seeing what I had accomplished，I realized that having disadvantages doesn't mean it is impossible to achieve success.
     By becoming a writer，I've become a reader.While performing community service at the library，I read to those who are less fortunate and unable to read.From pre-school children to the elderly，I enjoy my time reading to people of all ages.It is pleasing to see the awesome expressions on their faces as the words become a vision in their minds.Giving back is one of the greatest gifts you could give in life.It inspires me to write something people can learn from.

• 12．I'm retiring from teaching and will enjoy family life with my wife and grandchildren.Recalling my teaching career，I have a lot to share，but one thing is for sure：Teachers learn just as much from students as students learn from teachers.Here are a few of the things I have learned in my job.
     Roger was physically and mentally delayed.About once a month，we would have a dance in our classroom.Roger was awkward and ashamed when it came to asking a girl to dance with him.But once，I noticed that Roger was slow dancing with Leah，one of the most popular girls in the class.He had the biggest smile on his face.The next day，when Roger left my classroom to work with his support teacher，I praised Leah for inviting Roger to dance.That simple act of including him in a slow dance was such a great move.At our next dance，Roger asked Leah and every girl in the class to dance.No one turned him down.Leah taught me about the kindness of a simple act and its great effect.
     It was Serena who showed us what bravery was about.Serena was our play's narrator （旁白員）.She was scared she would forget her lines. "If you do，" I advised， "pause，stare at the audience and take time to remember.The audience will think it's part of the play." Halfway through the opening night，Serena forgot her lines.She stared out at the 300 people gathered in the gym.After what seemed like forever，Serena remembered.After the performance，she burst into tears backstage，thinking she had let everybody down.When our principal came back to congratulate our cast，she turned to Serena and said her pause worked so well.Little did she know about Serena's little act of bravery.
     Teachers spend hours making lessons to teach skills and knowledge.We adjust lessons，keep the good and throw out the bad.A good teacher listens to and learns from students and often it has nothing to do with the curriculum.
  （1）How did Roger feel in the class dance at first？

  
  A．Embarrassed.
  B．Surprised.
  C．Confident.
  D．Delighted.
  （2）Which of the following words can best describe Leah？

  
  A．Creative and funny.
  B．Clever and brave.
  C．Humorous and patient.
  D．Kind and likeable.
  （3）Why did Serena cry after the performance？

  
  A．She felt she had disappointed others.
  B．She was praised for her good performance.
  C．She was blamed for saying the wrong lines.
  D．She was extremely happy she had finished the task.
  （4）What does the author want to express in this passage？

  
  A．He is proud of being a teacher.
  B．Students should be kind and brave.
  C．He is unwilling to retire from teaching.
  D．Teachers should also learn from students.

• 13．Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon？Many people feel this way after lunch.They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness.Or，in summer，they may think it is the heat.However，the real reason lies inside their bodies.At that time-about eight hours after you wake up-your body temperature goes down.This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day.The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern.They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
     In many parts of the world，people take naps in the middle of the day.This is especially true in warmer climates，where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon.Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate.A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general.In countries where naps are traditional，people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.Many working people，unfortunately，have no time to take naps.Though doctors may advise taking naps，employers do not allow it!If you do have the chance，however，here are a few tips about making the most of your nap.Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up.A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward.This can also happen if you sleep for too long.If you do not have enough time，try a short nap-even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
  
  （1）Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon？

  
  A．Because you eat too much for lunch.
  B．Because it's hot in summer.
  C．Because your body temperature goes down at that time.
  D．Because you didn't have a good sleep last night.
  （2）What can we learn about "naps" according to the last paragraph？

  
  A．All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.
  B．Doctors need to take naps while employers don't.
  C．If you take naps every day，you'll never suffer from heart disease.
  D．Taking naps regularly is good to people's health.
  （3）If you get up at 6：30 am，what is the best time for you to take a nap？

  
  A．About 12：30 pm.
  B．About 1：30 pm.
  C．About 2：30 pm.
  D．About 3：30 pm.
  （4）What would be the best title for the text？

第二節 （共 5 小題；每小題 2 分，滿分 10 分）根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項．選項中有兩項為多余 選項．

• 15．Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question："Should I jump？ "This is what motivation or the lack of it can do．Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of same coin．（1）

  Like the child on the diving board，you will stay undecided．
     （2）

  More than that，how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal？First，you need to evaluate yourself，your values，your strengths，your weaknesses，your achievements，your desires，etc．Only then should you set your goals．
     You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation．This is quite important，because it is directly related to your commitment．There are times when your heart is not in your work．（3）

  So，slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment．Clarity（清晰）of thoughts can help you move forward．
     Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives，keeping in mind your beliefs，values and strengths．Remember that goals are flexible．（4）

  They also need to be measurable．You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals．
     Your personal circumstances are equally important．For example，you may want to be a pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough．（5）

  You should reassess your goals，and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal．
     You will surely need to overcome some difficulties，some planned，but most unplanned．You cannot overcome them without ample motivation．Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals．
  
  A．This can affect your work．
  B．So how should you motivate yourself？
  C．However，this should not discourage you．
  D．So why should we try to set specific goals？
  E．They can change according to circumstances．
  F．Motivation is what you need most to do a good job．
  G．Without motivation，you can neither set a goal nor reach it．
