Here is what Matt said about his life changes in an interview.

“It’s like getting a new life, I mean, living with the Tragers.

Being the oldest kid in Rosario Landing isn’t something you’d be proud of. People who go there usually want younger kids, babies even, because babies remember little about their real parents, and it’s easier for them to become close to their new parents. I felt happy for those who left with their new families. I really did. But it got harder to be happy for them when you were never the one to go.

I never thought Nicole and Thomas would pick me. They said they felt like they had known me for many years. After spending a few afternoons with me, they decided to take me home.

It’s never easy to have a stranger in your life. Lori is nice, but she’s too polite, like I was just one of her parents’ friends. We talk, but not very warmly.

Sean deals with it better than his older sister. I slept in his room before I had my own, and we got to play tricks on each other three nights later, like real brothers.

If there’s anything I can do to make them feel easier with me, I’ll try. I want to, because, for the fi rst time in my life, I feel that I belong somewhere.”

42. From the interview, what do we know about the children at Rosario Landing?

(A) They do not live with their parents. (B) They are not treated kindly.

(C) They have serious learning problems. (D) They were born there.

43. What can we learn about Matt from the interview?

(A) He shares a room with Sean now.

(B) He hopes to get close to Lori and Sean.

(C) He misses his friends in Rosario Landing.

(D) He fi nds his new life is easier than he thought.

44. Which is true about the Tragers?

(A) Sean is the oldest child in the family.

(B) There were two children in the family before.

(C) Nicole and Thomas decided to have another baby.

(D) Thomas thinks Matt looks just like him at a young age.

45. What does it in the fourth paragraph mean?

(A) Living with a stranger. (B) Being polite to a stranger.

(C) Playing tricks on one’s brother. (D) Talking to one’s parents’ friends.

artist 藝術家 (39­41)

In the art world, many artists with “weak” bodies have shown us a “strong”

power in their great works of art. Take Frida Kahlo for example. She was a healthy girl until she was knocked down by a bus at the age of twelve. Much of her body was seriously hurt, but her mind wasn’t. In her paintings, we can feel her strong love of art and life. Another example is Christy Brown. He was born in bad health, and the only part of his body that could move was his left foot. However, using his only foot, he still was able to write and draw wonderfully. In his autobiography, Brown wrote what happened in his life and how he began to draw pictures with his left foot. And don’t forget Stevie Wonder. He became blind soon after he was born, but he is now a popular singer and songwriter.

These artists with “weak” bodies bring us many good things and much hope with their “strong” minds. Their stories tell us that the most important thing in life is not what we have, but what we make of it.

39. What is the writer trying to say?

(A) History always repeats itself.

(B) Art is the best medicine for a weak mind.

(C) We should try to make the best use of our lives.

(D) It takes more than hard work to make a great artist.

40. What does autobiography mean?

(A) A movie about great writers’ lives.

(B) A book of a person’s life by that person.

(C) A videotape that teaches how to write stories.

(D) A picture with the painter’s name on the bottom.

41. Which is true about the three artists in the reading?

(A) They all died at a young age.

(B) They are all famous painters.

(C) They all had problems with their bodies.

(D) They were all in bad health when they were born.

artist 藝術家 (39­41)

In the art world, many artists with “weak” bodies have shown us a “strong”

power in their great works of art. Take Frida Kahlo for example. She was a healthy girl until she was knocked down by a bus at the age of twelve. Much of her body was seriously hurt, but her mind wasn’t. In her paintings, we can feel her strong love of art and life. Another example is Christy Brown. He was born in bad health, and the only part of his body that could move was his left foot. However, using his only foot, he still was able to write and draw wonderfully. In his autobiography, Brown wrote what happened in his life and how he began to draw pictures with his left foot. And don’t forget Stevie Wonder. He became blind soon after he was born, but he is now a popular singer and songwriter.

These artists with “weak” bodies bring us many good things and much hope with their “strong” minds. Their stories tell us that the most important thing in life is not what we have, but what we make of it.

39. What is the writer trying to say?

(A) History always repeats itself.

(B) Art is the best medicine for a weak mind.

(C) We should try to make the best use of our lives.

(D) It takes more than hard work to make a great artist.

40. What does autobiography mean?

(A) A movie about great writers’ lives.

(B) A book of a person’s life by that person.

(C) A videotape that teaches how to write stories.

(D) A picture with the painter’s name on the bottom.

41. Which is true about the three artists in the reading?

Here is what Matt said about his life changes in an interview.

“It’s like getting a new life, I mean, living with the Tragers.

Being the oldest kid in Rosario Landing isn’t something you’d be proud of. People who go there usually want younger kids, babies even, because babies remember little about their real parents, and it’s easier for them to become close to their new parents. I felt happy for those who left with their new families. I really did. But it got harder to be happy for them when you were never the one to go.

I never thought Nicole and Thomas would pick me. They said they felt like they had known me for many years. After spending a few afternoons with me, they decided to take me home.

It’s never easy to have a stranger in your life. Lori is nice, but she’s too polite, like I was just one of her parents’ friends. We talk, but not very warmly.

Sean deals with it better than his older sister. I slept in his room before I had my own, and we got to play tricks on each other three nights later, like real brothers.

If there’s anything I can do to make them feel easier with me, I’ll try. I want to, because, for the fi rst time in my life, I feel that I belong somewhere.”

42. From the interview, what do we know about the children at Rosario Landing?

(A) They do not live with their parents. (B) They are not treated kindly.

(C) They have serious learning problems. (D) They were born there.

43. What can we learn about Matt from the interview?

(A) He shares a room with Sean now.

(B) He hopes to get close to Lori and Sean.

(C) He misses his friends in Rosario Landing.

(D) He fi nds his new life is easier than he thought.

44. Which is true about the Tragers?

(A) Sean is the oldest child in the family.

(B) There were two children in the family before.

(C) Nicole and Thomas decided to have another baby.

(D) Thomas thinks Matt looks just like him at a young age.

45. What does it in the fourth paragraph mean?

(A) Living with a stranger. (B) Being polite to a stranger.
