It wasn’t until a few weeks 43 September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did
come from this tragedy(悲劇). People seem 44 now, more understanding, more friendly. Little
things that seemed to be such a bother before are no longer a 45 deal. Personally, I am more
patient than I was . I realize life is too short, and 46 , to let myself get upset over unimportant
things. Life is also too short to carry complaints and 47 I’ve become more forgiving and
understanding. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. You know how we always
say “ 48 you later”. One thing I’ve realized from September 11 is that you can’t ever say for

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody else.
Other people may fool you into overestimating(過高估計) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is certain to make a favourable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.
In a word, you can’t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
