【題目】閱讀理解
Gordon Hewitt, a mean (吝嗇的) person who used to read his paper in his car to save electricity, died last week. He has left behind £250, 000 in the bank after a lifetime of saving.
When you first saw Mr. Hewitt, you might think that he was poor: he wore his old coat, his trousers didn't fit well and his shoes were worn out. He sold newspapers on the streets.
In fact, he had a quarter-of-a-million pounds in at least 20 savings. He married twice and lived in the same house all his life. His money was left to six different people.
60-year-old neighbor Jean Buckley remembers Mr. Hewitt's mean ways of life, “He used to sit in his Robin reading a newspaper with the light on so that he didn't have to turn the light on in his house. He would walk miles to find somewhere warm, even through the rain. ”
68-year-old neighbor David Cheeseman said, “I have known him for over 50 years and he was always strange and funny in his manner. I told him many times to look after himself and have heat in his house. He just laughed. He wouldn't spend a penny unless he had to. He went to every church to sit in the warm, have a cup of tea or meal. He had a dryer(烘干機(jī))in his house but never used it. He washed clothes and put them on even they were wet. He said it cost money to use the dryer. ”

【題目】C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.
Anxiety is the appropriate emotion when the personal terror – of a volcano, an arrow, a stab(刺傷) in the back and other disasters, all directed against one’s self – d【1】.
The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative s【2】, a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which one has a feeling that something unspecified(不具體的) and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety – for good times may end. If the world is going badly – it may get w【3】. Anxiety tends to be without f【4】; the anxious person doesn’t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is the current year of the administration or a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this undefined sense of unease.
It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work. W【5】 we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life insurance policy which may have out-of-date terms in it, into having a conference with our child’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.
People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, don’t take a drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either r【6】 to go into cars – and so complicate the ordinary course of life – or drive so tensely and carefully that they help avoid accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take their c【7】, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.

Last week, I took a group of officials for a week's trip to Taiwan. We t all around the island. There are lots of fascinating s on the island. My favorite sight is the Sun Moon Lake. You may ask w people call it so. If you f high up over the lake and look down from your plane, you 'll find the answer yourself. In the middle of this lake, there's a small island t is called Lalu. On one s of Lalu the lake looks like a sun, and on the other side it looks like a m. That is why people call it the Sun Moon Lake.
There are many mountains around this lake. One of the nearest is Mount Ali. We stayed there for three days. We also h a dancing party with Gaoshan people there.
Why not consider v Taiwan for your next vacation? It’s a wonderful place to visit.
