I'd say I quarrel with my parents a lot.Throughout high school, I was always jealous of some of my friends who didn't seem to have those problems at home, but I've come to see over the years that no one's situation is perfect.
Part of the reason I work all week during my break, in addition to the money, of course, is to be out of the house to avoid continuing quarrels.At work, I eat lunch with my friend Krysta every day, but the best days are when our favourite workmate, Lucy, is on her lunch break at the same time as us.Her funny way of storytelling always has us laughing happily, and although she is almost old enough to be our mom, she feels more like a best friend.
A few weeks ago, however, there was a change in our lunch conversation, and the story she told had us in real tears instead of our usual tears of laughter.A more serious topic had come up, and she sat us down to explain the importance of forgiveness, especially when it came to our parents.Telling stories of her troubled relationship with her mother, she changed my whole outlook on life and my feelings towards my parents.She reminded us that no matter how much resentment (怨恨) we're feeling in a moment of anger, we have to be thankful for the support they provide and learn to forgive everything else.
This week I've spent my break at home, having very small quarrels and lots of quality time together with my parents.Sometimes you need a reminder to make you realize how important it is to let go of past resentment and work to repair broken relationships.My workmate's moving stories not only brought me to tears in the break room at work that day but served as that wake up call as well.

What are the hidden messages in the storybooks we read to our kids That's a question that may occur to parents as their children dive into the new books that arrived over the holidays.And it's a question that inspired a team of researchers to set up a study.
For a taste of their findings, take a typical book in China：The Cat That Eats Letters.Seemingly it's about a cat that has an appetite for sloppy (馬虎的) letters — “written too large or too small, or if the letter is missing a stroke (筆畫)，” explains one of the researchers, psychologist Cecilia Cheung, a professor at University of California Riverside.“So the only way children can stop their letters from being eaten is to write really carefully and practice every day.”
But the underlying point is clear：“This is really instilling (逐步培養) the idea of effort — that children have to learn to consistently practice in order to achieve a certain level，” says Cheung.And that idea，she says，is a core concept of Chinese culture.The book is one of dozens of storybooks from a list recommended by the education agencies of China, the United States and Mexico that Cheung and her collaborators (合作者) analyzed for the study.
They created a list of “learning related” values and checked to see how often the books promoted them.The values included setting a goal to achieve something difficult, putting in a lot of effort to complete the task and generally viewing intelligence as a trait that can be acquired through hard work rather than a quality that you're born with.
The results — published in the Journal of Cross Cultural Psychology：The storybooks from China stress those values about twice as frequently as the books from the U．S.and Mexico.
8．What does the underlined word “appetite” mean in paragraph 2
A．Skill. B．Desire.
C．Talent. D．Sense.
9．What is the implied message of The Cat That Eats Letters
A．Helping children get rid of sloppy habits.
B．Developing children's writing skills.
C．Analyzing the focus of children's writing practice.
D．Encouraging children to keep practicing to achieve their goals.
10．What can we learn about “learning related” values from the last two paragraphs
A．They are stressed more in China.
B．They are often promoted by researchers.
C．They can be got without effort.
D．They are part of human intelligence.
11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Problems of choosing books.
B．Values of storybooks in different countries.
C．Storybooks to read during the holidays.
D．Messages hidden in the storybooks.
D
How can you tell if someone's lying The answer is, they're probably not.
Traditional economics says that people are rational (理智的) beings who will lie if it's to their advantage.A recent university study has shown that, actually, we're pretty honest — especially when we're at home.
Researchers in Germany phoned people at home and asked them to toss (投擲) a coin.There was a strong financial incentive (刺激) to fake the result：if the coin landed tails up, the participants would receive money or a gift ticket, while if the coin landed heads up, they would get nothing.Because they were on the phone, they knew there was no risk of getting caught if they lied.
And yet people told the truth.Over hundreds of tosses, a coin will land tails up roughly 50% of the time.In this study over half the people asked (55.6%) said that the coin landed heads up, which meant they would receive nothing.
Previous studies had found that people were more dishonest.In those laboratory studies, 75% of people reported a winning coin and claimed a reward.So the research team thinks it's being in our own homes which makes us play fair, although it's not yet clear why.
In fact both types of study show people are surprisingly reliable.Even in the laboratory, 25% of people turned down a reward by telling the truth.The researchers say this is because honesty is highly valued in human society.We care about our reputation and our sense of ourselves as respectable people.So lying has a psychological cost and it seems this cost is more important than the financial benefits of lying.
12．When do people lie according to traditional economics
A．When they are at home.
B．When it's to their advantage.
C．When they would receive nothing.
D．When it comes to financial benefits.
13．Which of the following is TRUE according to the research
A．There was no risk of getting caught lying if people were on the phone.
B．The participants would receive nothing if they said the coin landed tails up.
C．The studies could help to correct the mistakes of the participants.
D．People would play fair and behave acceptably if invited to the laboratory.
14．Under what circumstance were the participants more dishonest
A．On the phone. B．On the street.
C．In their homes. D．In those laboratory studies.
15．Researchers have done an experiment in order to ________.
A．find out the rates of tossing a coin
B．prove the financial benefits of lying
C．find out the reason why people play fair
D．advocate honesty is highly valued in society
第二節(共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分)
閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don't beat yourself up about them. To err (犯錯) is human. __16__ You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” __17__ Are you caring Creative Generous A good listener Fun to be around They don't have to be world changing，just aspects of your personality that you're proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one，list all the positive things you've done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day.__18__
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. __19__ That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don't wait until you've made a mistake to try this — it's a great way to boost self confidence at any time.
It's something of a cliché (陳詞濫調) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it's true. __20__ We're all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.
A．A little self forgiveness also goes a long way.
B．Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
C.They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
D．It's just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.
E．It doesn't mean you have to ignore what's happened or forget it.
F．Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.
G．Whatever the mistake, remember it isn't a fixed aspect of your personality.

“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going？” Mom asked calmly.
“I guess ...，” I murmured (低語) under my breath.
“Sweetheart, we are going to a children's shelter.I have been there before and I think it would benefit you，” she explained.
I felt even more angry.How was I supposed to help there
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised.It was a large white Victorian home.As we got close to the large front porch, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and flowers welcomed us.Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad.
Mom rang the doorbell.The door opened and we were shown to the front room, where all of the children were playing.Toys were spread out across the floor.I noticed a baby with wounds on his body.The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars such as cuts, scratches (抓傷) and burns.What a terrible life they had before they moved here! My heart sank.

第二節　參考范文：
As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl with brown eyes looking up at me.Her angelic face lighted, although there were some scars on her little arms.“Hi.I'm Ashley.Do you want to play dolls with me？” she asked.I looked over and saw Mom nodding to me with a smile.I bent towards Ashley and whispered, “Sure.I'd love to.” Her tiny hand reached up and took mine, and we walked towards the doll house.Our time together brought her great joy and fun and she also made my day.
I returned to the shelter with Mom several times. During those visits, some of the children including Ashley shared their troubled pasts with me in great detail.I felt sorry for what had happened to them and treasured the friendship between us.I would like to do everything in my power to help the children there.At the same time, I learned to be grateful for all that I had.It was a meaningful time in my young life that I will never forget.It was Mom who taught me the valuable lesson that summer.
