Ⅳ.閱讀理解（共20小題，每小題2分，共40分）

(A)

A good teacher is many things to many people. In my own experience, the people I respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded(要求) the most discipline(紀律) from their students.

I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school. I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person. I remember very vividly (清晰地) a sign over her classroom door. It was a simple sign that said, “Laboratory—in this room the first five letters of the word was emphasized(強調(diào)), not the last seven.” In other words, I guess, labor for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches.

She prepared her work very carefully and demanded us to do the same. We got lots of homework from her. Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would be reduced, but it continued just the same. She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them.

I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least. But as time goes by, this discipline really seems to benefit(有益于) the students.

1. Which of the following is considered a good teacher by the writer?

____.

A. A patient teacher B. An honest teacher

C. A strict teacher D. A hard-working teacher

2. The teacher put up the sign over her classroom door ____.

A. to remind the students that this room was a laboratory

B. to advise the students to follow the disciplines

C. to warn the students not to be careless

D. to tell the students to work hard in the classroom

3. When the teachers arm was broken, she ____.

A. gave her students the usual amount of homework

B. gave her students less homework

C. asked her students to check the homework themselves

D. gave her students more homework

4. Whats the writers opinion of discipline? ____.

A. It makes the students dislike their teachers

B. It does good to the students in the long run

C. Its too much for young children

D. It does more harm than good to the students

(B)

In most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters（惡魔）. The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.

Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they cant stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked “fire”. They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play so that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: The muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed and swollen(充血紅腫)that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call “Space Warriors Wrist”. Other strange aches and pains also are likely to affect（影響） the elbows and shoulders.

Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness and fell to the floor.

Doctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at a particular frequency.

A. people living in towns

writer ____.

A. supports playing electronic games

8. From the passage we can conclude that playing electronic games is

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy(嫉妒) my luck? “And Paul,why didnt he pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?”When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we dont really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog.” thats being friendly. But “l(fā)ucky dog”? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck.

“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up(包藏) in this phrase is the thought that your problem isnt important. Its telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you havent got a date for Saturday night.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someones got a date for Saturday night? Good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture(姿態(tài))? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.

13. This passage is mainly about ____.

A. how to interpret(understand) what people say

B. what to do when you listen to others talking

C. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people

D. why we go wrong with people sometimes

friends is that ____.

A. we fail to listen carefully when they talk

B. we tend to（傾向） doubt what our friends say

C. people usually state one thing but means another

D. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say

15. In the sentence “Maybe he doesnt see it himself” in the second

paragraph, the pronoun “it” refers to ____.

A. being friendly B. a bit of envy C. lucky dog D. your luck

16. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to

do is ____.

A. notice the way the person is talking

B. take a good look at the person talking

D. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner,

his tone and his posture

(E)

People are so busy these days that many people have no time to cook. This becomes a problem, because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only time everyone sees one another at the same time.

Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies（小甜餅） is not just satisfying（滿足） a childs sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, “I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you.”

There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of home cooking pleases people of all ages. It makes most of us feel good and loved—even if we are the ones doing the next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to your mood（心情）.
