One afternoon， I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early， so I 41 my car by a small park， and 42 for her.

As I looked outside the car window， I saw a little boy， around two years old， running

43 on the grass as his mother 44 from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been 45 free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass， 46 up， without looking back at his mother， run as 47 as he could， again， still with a smile on his face， as if nothing had happened.

At that moment， I thought to myself， “Why aren’t most adults this way?” Most adults， when they fall down， make a big deal out of it and don’t even 48 a second attempt. They would be so 49 that they would not try again if someone saw them falling. Or， because they fall， they would find a good 50 for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure.

However， with kids， when they fall down， they don’t consider their falling down as a failure， instead， they treat it as a 51 experience. They try again and again until they 52 . The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. As a 53 ， they are not discouraged in any way. Besides， they 54 think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words， they allow themselves to make 55 ， so they remain energetic.

I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence (堅持不懈) and the manner in which he did.

（ ）41. A. left B. stopped

C. repaired D. drove

（ ）42. A. waited B. cared

C. prepared D. looked

（ ）43. A. carefully B. anxiously

C. freely D. easily

（ ）44. A. watched B. noticed

四、閱讀理解（共15小題，每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列材料，從各小題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出一個最佳答案。

A

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 of the art works.

A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between them-

selves. I watched them a moment and found the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband’s patience for putting up with her continuous talk. Distracted by their noise， I moved on.

I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words， I moved away quickly.

I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase 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 it into a long stick and then tapped 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 how dose 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.

A small， white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree and it has been there for the past ten years or so.

It all began because my husband Justin hated Christmas—oh， not the true meaning of Christmas. Overspending was one thing， but compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts—running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma ...， spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.

Knowing Justin felt the same way， I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts， sweaters， ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.

Our son Kevin， who was 12 that year， was wrestling (摔跤) at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas， there was a match against a team sponsored (贊助) by an inner-city church. These youngsters， dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together， while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.

As the match began， I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets (頭盔) to protect their ears. Well， our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.

Justin， seated beside me， shook his head sadly， “I wish just one of them could have won，” he said. “They have a lot potential (潛力)， but losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Justin loved kids—all kids， and he knew them， having coached little league football and baseball. That’s when the idea for his present came. That afternoon， I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.

On Christmas Eve， I placed the envelope on the tree， the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.

（ ）66. Justin hated Christmas because ________.

A. he didn’t enjoy receiving gifts B. he had a hard time choosing gifts

C. he spent too much money buying gifts

D. he disliked putting gifts under the Christmas tree

（ ）67. We know from the passage that the team sponsored by inner-city church ________.

A. were well dressed

B. paid no attention to safety

C. feared Kevin’s team

D. couldn’t afford a helmet

（ ）68. How did Justin feel about the team’s failure?

A. Upset B. Angry C. Hopeless D. Shameful

（ ）69. Why did the writer send gifts to the inner-city church without leaving her name?

A. To avoid being thanked

B. To play a joke on Justin

C. To give Justin a surprise

D. To protect her private information

（ ）70. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. The Church Gift.

B. A Special Note.

C. The White Envelope.

D. A Christmas Card.
