Many people think self-confidence is the key to a happy, successful life. But where does self-confidence come from? 【小題1】 .
I’m Lucy. Self-confidence means that I can do something well. It’s even better if someone else tells you that you’re good at something, too. When people listen to me and pay attention to my ideas, I know they like me. When people don’t listen, I sometimes feel sad. 【小題2】 .
I’m Jeff. Respect from my family and friends makes me feel the best. I don’t care if I’m the best football player, or I don’t get the highest grade on a test, or don’t succeed at everything I do. 【小題3】 . If someone says something unkind about you, you don’t mind that much because you know they’re wrong—that means you have self-confidence.
I’m Sue. I really feel good when my mum gives me a hug and says,“Have a nice day!”before I leave the house. Also, one day in a store I asked a salesman where to find something, and to my surprise, he said,“You have a beautiful smile.” For the rest of the day I was happy. These kinds of things have to come naturally and from the heart, but they make a big difference in the way a person feels.
【小題4】 . Believe that no matter who you are, you can build your own self-confidence.
| A. I hope someone will care about me B. You should remember“You can do it if you think you can.” C. Here’s what some students have to say about it D. I only care that I have tried my best and people respect me for it E. Listening shows they care about me |
【小題1】C
【小題2】E
【小題3】D
【小題4】B

One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view (觀察) of the art works.
A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted non-stop between themselves. I watched them a moment and knew the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband’s patience. I met with them several times. Each time I heard her words, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended (延長) it into a long stick and then tapped (輕敲) his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.
根據短文內容，判斷句子正(T)、誤(F)。(5分)
【小題1】The young couple were at an art museum to show their love.
【小題2】“…I moved away quickly.” shows that the writer was tired of the non-stop talking.
【小題3】We can infer (推斷) from the passage that the husband couldn’t stand his wife.
【小題4】 After hearing what the clerk had said, the writer was annoyed.
【小題5】The passage is mainly about courage of a blind man and the love between the couple.

A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average，and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.
What made these average students change so much to become top students？The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.
Do you know why? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”
Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re the naughtiest boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that’s the power of our belief and attitude toward children.
【小題1】The professor started his research by _______.
| A．teaching the five children himself |
| B．asking the five children to find a new teacher |
| C．telling the five students to work harder than ever before |
| D．telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class |
| A．the professor’s study | B．the teachers’hard work |
| C．the change in the teachers | D．the change in the teachers’ attitude |
| A．Attitude and belief can change a person. |
| B．Only teachers can make you a top student. |
| C．A professor’s study can help you score highest. |
| D．If you want to get more，you should have new teachers. |

One windy spring day, I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in control.
Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose(松散的). “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”
Yet freedom(自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障礙物).
How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve.
【小題1】Why does the writer write the first paragraph?
| A．Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites. |
| B．Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers. |
| C．Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites. |
| D．Because he wants to use readers’ similar life experience to understand the article better. |
| A．anyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad end |
| B．what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the ground |
| C．man with freedom can’t be like that kite which fell down |
| D．the unkind wind is the cause of the fallen kite’s failure |
| A．束縛 | B．放縱 | C．搖擺 | D．牽引 |
| A．without restrictions and rules we can make endless progress |
| B．kites are good examples to those who want to get freedom |
| C．restrictions are necessary for us human beings |
| D．we don’t need any freedom at all |

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. So, I really doubted whether there was any love between my parents. Every day they were working hard to pay for my high school. They didn’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books and saw on TV, and they certainly didn’t send flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day (情人節).
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I asked her if there was any love between her and my dad. She stopped and raised her head in surprise. Then she went on with her work without saying anything. I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her feelings. But after a few minutes she said, “Look at this thread (線). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time it disappears in the quilt. If life is a quilt, then love is the thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or at any time, but it’s really there, and makes the quilt long-lasting.” I listened carefully but I didn’t understand her until the next spring.
My mother suddenly got seriously ill and had to stay in hospital for about a month. Every morning and evening after she returned from the hospital, my father helped her walk slowly along our country road. There were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees, and the sun gently shone through the leaves. All of this made the most beautiful picture in the world. Reading their eyes, I knew they love each other deeply. From this experience, I realized that love is just a thread in the quilt of our lives. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
【小題1】What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph suggest?
| A．There is beautiful scenery where the writer lived. |
| B．There is true love anywhere in the world. |
| C．There is no love without beautiful flowers. |
| D．There is true love between the writer’s parents. |
| A．Because her husband didn’t love her. |
| B．Because she was thinking of a better answer. |
| C．Because she didn’t love her husband. |
| D．Because the writer had hurt her feelings. |
| A．Love Is Everywhere | B．Love Is Always Romantic |
| C．Love: Thread in Quilt | D．Love Can Last Forever |
