(the paragraph)
1 I gathered my energies and launched them in this blunt sentence—



2 “I am not deceitful: if I were, I should say I loved you; but I declare I do not love you: I dislike you the worst of anybody in the world except John Reed; and this book about the liar, you may give to your girl, Georgiana, for it is she who tells lies, and not I.”



3 Mrs. Reed’s hands still lay on her work inactive: her eye of ice continued to dwell freezingly on mine.



4 “What more have you to say?” she asked, rather in the tone in which a person might address an opponent of adult age than such as is ordinarily used to a child.



5 That eye of hers, that voice stirred every antipathy I had. Shaking from head to foot, thrilled with ungovernable excitement, I continued—



6 “I am glad you are no relation of mine: I will never call you aunt again as long as I live. I will never come to see you when I am grown up; and if any one asks me how I liked you, and how you treated me, I will say the very thought of you makes me sick, and that you treated me with miserable cruelty.”
7 “How dare you affirm that, Jane Eyre?”

8 “How dare I, Mrs. Reed? How dare I? Because it is the truth. You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness; but I cannot live so: and you have no pity. I shall remember how you thrust me back—roughly and violently thrust me back—into the red-room, and locked me up there, to my dying day; though I was in agony; though I cried out, while suffocating with distress, ‘Have mercy! Have mercy, Aunt Reed!’ And that punishment you made me suffer because your wicked boy struck me—knocked me down for nothing. I will tell anybody who asks me questions, this exact tale. People think you a good woman, but you are bad, hard-hearted. You are deceitful!”

TEXT 1 :Since 1983, the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) and the Sudanese Government have been at war in southern Sudan. The conflict has already claimed more than 500,000 lives and displaced huge numbers of people. Among these were at least 20,000 children, mostly boys, between 7 and 17 years of age who were separated from their families. These ‘lost boys’ of the Sudan trekked enormous distances over a vast unforgiving wilderness, seeking refuge from the fighting. Hungry, frightened and weakened by sleeplessness and disease, they crossed from the Sudan into Ethiopia and back, with many dying along the way. The survivors are now in camps in Kenya, the Sudan and Uganda

Question 1: What's the main idea,detail 1 and detail 2?

TEXT 2:This extraordinary exodus has its origins in traditional forms of migration. After being initiated into manhood, young adolescent boys in southern Sudan have generally been quite mobile. Organized into small groups of their peers, they would leave home for a period to look after cattle. Or they might head for the towns or cities to go to school or to seek their fortune, before eventually returning home. In addition, at times of stress families all over Africa send their children elsewhere to find safety, food, work and schooling.

Question 2: What's the main idea,detail 1 and detail 2?

TEXT 3:But during the war this process has escalated dramatically. Fearing they would be targeted as potential combatants, many boys left their villages and headed for cities such as Juba and Khartoum. Here they hoped to find work or schooling, though as these cities became saturated with migrants, the boys often had to resort to begging or petty crime.


Question 3: What's the main idea ONLY???

TEXT 4:.Others set out for refugee camps in Ethiopia. Some travelled with friends or relatives, others slipped away on their own at night. Few had any idea of what lay ahead of them. They believed the trek would last only a few days and discovered that they faced a harrowing journey of 6 to 10 weeks. Continually under threat, they would flee for their lives, losing their way in the wilderness. Often they lost everything en route—blankets, sheets, shoes, clothes and pots—to soldiers, swindlers or bandits. Many fell victim to killer diseases. Others were so weakened by hunger and lack of sleep that they could go no further and sat down by the roadside—prey for lions and other animals.

Question 4:What are the Hopes/Expectations and Realities


LAST QUESTION:Take a moment to jot down the central idea. So far, the author shows...

In paragraph 3 of Selection 2, how does the author show that the reasoning against curfews is sound and the evidence is sufficient?


A)by listing the similarities between the two cities


B)by comparing both cities over the course of several years


C)by looking at the effects of different approaches of the cities


D)by reviewing the length of time the cities enforced the curfews


(The paragraph)
3 For several years, San Francisco strictly enforced its curfew and arrested more than a thousand teens over a three-year period. However, when the city stopped enforcing the curfew, there was no rise in crime. In fact, the crime rate in San Francisco went down. Neighboring San Jose did just the opposite: it began to enforce its curfew after years of having such a law on the books but, essentially, ignoring it. In San Jose, there was no drop in crime to go along with the intensified curfew enforcement.

When Mike adjusted his bicycle, I thought I was watching a chess game. He would stare at a part for a while before he acted. Then we would wait for his opponent's response. For example, he stared for ten minutes before tightening the rear sprockets. Then he rode the bike for a minute, analyzing the change in the bike's performance. At first, I thought he was too careful. Now, I realize he didn't want the bicycle to become his Waterloo.

What is the central idea of Passage 2?

A)Advertising on school buses helps local businesses, but their ads should be monitored.

B)Advertising on school buses allows larger numbers of people to see ads, and that amount of exposure leads to profits.

C)Advertising on school buses is gaining popularity, but has a long way to go before being widely accepted by the public.

D)Advertising on school buses is one way for school districts to make money, and the community may experience benefits as well.
(THE PARAGRAPH)
18 School buses are carrying more than students these days.
19 The vehicles sport fancy advertisements for local businesses and events.
20 It's part of the effort for school districts to make money in these budget-strapped times.
21 And it is paying off.
22 Lewis-Palmer School District 38 made about $8,000 in its first effort last year with eight advertisers and 11 buses. This year, it is expanding.
23 "Ultimately we hope to have advertisements on every bus to maximize our income," said Robin Adair, D-38 spokeswoman. The district, which has had $11 million in cuts in recent years, is seeking a $4.5 tax increase in the November election.
24 D-38 has 56 buses that collectively travel more than a half million miles a year. That could be a lot of bang for the advertising buck, and a nice amount of change for district coffers. Like Lewis-Palmer, most districts that allow advertising on their buses choose to put the money in general funds to help with such things as higher fuel and utility expenses and increased contributions to pension funds and student activities.
25 Other Pikes Peak districts that use their buses as rolling billboards are Colorado Springs School District 11 and Falcon School District 49.

I HAVE 5 MINUTES
The Fence

I sat in the truck and looked out over the dashboard at my dad. The lights from the truck's headlights lit up the night and I could see my dad as he knelt in the snow to inspect the mangled fence. I watched quietly as he looked at the damage. Muddy tire tracks led from the road to the damaged fence. Broken wood and wire were everywhere. Broken glass lay beside a fence post. It looked bad.

My dad struggled to straighten the wire. He was having a very hard time. The fence needed a lot of work. Dad stood up, brushed the snow from his pants and walked back to the truck. A gust of wind entered the truck as he climbed in.

"Can you fix the fence?" I asked my dad as he settled in the truck.

"I think so," he said. "But it's too dark to fix now and I need my tools and more wood." I thought he might tell me more.

"It will be a big job. It isn't right that you have to fix it all by yourself when some one else crashed through it and ruined it," I said.

My dad looked at me and smiled. "I think someone will come forward and admit to hitting the fence," he said.

When we arrived at home, dad made me hot chocolate. I sat at the table in the kitchen and sipped my drink slowly as I listened to the wind howling outside.

Thirty minutes later, as we cleaned up our hot chocolate, light shown across our lawn and into our kitchen. Dad and I looked outside to see who was there. As I looked outside, I noticed the car in the driveway only had one headlight. The car stopped and the driver walked through the snow, towards our front door.

"Are you Mr. Smith?" the stranger asked when dad opened the door.

"Yes," Dad answered. "How can I help you?"

"Well, sir, my name is Tom Jones. I want to apologize for running into your fence this morning." Mr. Jones went on the explain he had been driving home from work and hit an icy patch and slid off of the road. He apologized again and promised he would help my dad fix the fence. He wrote down his name, address, and phone number on a piece of paper. He gave the paper to my dad. He shook my dad's hand and left.

Dad smiled as he closed the door. Dad could see I was surprised that someone had come to tell the truth. "Dad, how did you know someone would come and tell you about the fence?" I asked.

Dad said, "Well, I know I would have done the right thing, and I know you would have done the right thing. I think that most people have good hearts. I had faith this person would do the right thing too."

Passage 2: "Columbus"

Behind him lay the gray Azores,



Behind the Gates of Hercules;



Before him not the ghost of shores;



Before him only shoreless seas.



5 The good mate said: "Now must we pray,



For lo! the very stars are gone.



Brave Adm'r'l, speak; what shall I say?"



"Why, say, 'Sail on! sail on! and on!'" "My men grow mutinous day by day;



10 My men grow ghastly, wan and weak."



The stout mate thought of home; a spray



Of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek.



"What shall I say, brave Adm'r'l, say,



If we sight naught but seas at dawn?"



15 "Why, you shall say at break of day:



'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!'"



They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,



Until at last the blanched mate said:



"Why, now not even God would know



20 Should I and all my men fall dead.



These very winds forget their way,



For God from these dread seas is gone.


Now speak, brave Adm'r'l, speak and say"-



He said: "Sail on! sail on! and on!"


25 They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the mate:



"This mad sea shows his teeth to-night.



He curls his lip, he lies in wait,



He lifts his teeth, as if to bite!



Brave Adm'r'l, say but one good word:



30 What shall we do when hope is gone?"



The words leapt like a leaping sword:



"Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!"



Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck,



And peered through darkness. Ah, that night



35 Of all dark nights! And then a speck-


A light! A light! At last a light!



It grew, a starlit flag unfurled!



It grew to be Time's burst of dawn.



He gained a world; he gave that world



40 Its grandest lesson: "On!

adapted from Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë My footsteps were the first to press the firm, unbroken sands. Nothing before had trampled them since last night's flowing tide had obliterated the deepest marks of yesterday. The sand was fair and even, except where the subsiding water had left behind it the traces of dimpled pools and little running streams. Refreshed, delighted, invigorated, I walked along, forgetting all my cares, feeling as if I had wings to my feet. I could go at least forty miles without fatigue and experience a sense of exhilaration to which I had been an entire stranger since the days of early youth. About half-past six, however, the grooms began to come down to air their masters' horses. First one, and then another, till there were some dozen horses and five or six riders. But, that did not trouble me, for they would not come as far as the low rocks which I was now approaching. When I had reached these, and walked over the moist, slippery sea-weed (at the risk of slipping into one of the numerous pools of clear, salt water that lay between them), to a little mossy mound with the sea splashing round it, I looked back again to see who next was stirring. Still, there were only the early grooms with their horses, and one gentleman with a little dark speck of a dog running before him, and one water-cart coming out of the town to get water for the baths. 5 Select the correct answer. Where does the story take place? A. on the beach B. near a swimming pool C. in a stable D. on a village street
