From age eight to eleven, I attended a small school in Bath, England.It was a small school of four classes with about twenty-five children in each class according to age.For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class.However, sometimes the headmaster, Mr.Ronald Broaches, would come in and spend an hour or so, teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested.He was a large man with a very happy nature.He had a sense of humor and loved telling the children small stories that would make us laugh.He was a very nice man and had a great influence on many of the children.In my own case, I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles.He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle already on it.The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical(邏輯的).As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them.Not only that, they made me interested in math and problem-solving that stays with me to this day.They also showed me that intellectual(智力的)activity was enjoyable when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun.To this day, I can remember Mr.Broaches' cheerful cry of“Well done!”whenever I got a problem right.The simple communication(交流)with a man whom I loved greatly has had a deep influence on my life.I shall forever be thankful that we met each other.Mr.Broaches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.Unluckily, I had no chance to speak to him before he died.I learnt later he had heard of my success and I will hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.

閱讀理解
     From the beginning of human history, wild animals provided food, clothing and sometimes medicine
for man. We may not depend as much on wild animals now. But we hear about them every day.
Americans use the names of animals in many ways. Automobile manufacturers and gasoline companies
especially like to use big cats to sell their products. They like lions, tigers and wildcats. When Americans
say wildcat, they usually mean a_lynx, an_ocelot_or_a_bobcat. All these cats attack quickly and fiercely.
So wildcats represent something fast and fierce.  
     An early American use of the word wildcat was quite different. It was used to describe members of
Congress who declared war on Britain in 1812. A magazine of that year said the wildcat congressmen
went home. It said they were unable to face the responsibility of having involved their country in an
unnecessary war.
     Wildcat also has been used as a name for money in the 1800s. At that time, some states permitted
banks to make their own money. One bank in the state of Michigan offered paper money with a picture
of a wildcat on it. Some banks, however, did not have enough gold to support all the paper money they
offered. So the money had little or no value. It was called a wildcat bill or a wildcat banknote. The
banks who offered this money were called wildcat banks. A newspaper of the time said those were the
days of wildcat money. It said a man might be rich in the morning and poor by night.
     Wildcat then was also used for an oil well or gold mine that had almost no oil or gold in it. Dishonest
developers would buy such property. Then they would sell it and leave town with the money. The
buyers were left with worthless holes in the ground.Today, wildcat oil wells are in areas that are not
known to have oil.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Wildcats and their stories.
B. Wildcats and their characters.
C. Varieties of animal species.
D. Relationship between animals and humans.
2. From the passage we can know that__________.
A. wildcats represent the state of Michigan
B. the use of wildcats was not always the same
C. wildcats are the best friend of human beings
D. honest developers never buy wildcat oil wells
3. The underlined words "a lynx, an ocelot or a bobcat" in Paragraph 1 may refer to "__________".
A. gasoline companies
B. automobile manufacturers
C. names of wildcats
D. brands of automobile
4. Which of the following would people like to have or trust according to the passage?

A. Wildcat congressmen.  
B. Wildcat oil wells.
C. Wildcat banks.  
D. Wildcat cars.

5. It can be inferred that during the days of wildcat money__________.
A. people couldn't buy anything with the money
B. people didn't know how to save money
C. the rich invested too much on oil wells
D. people complained and suffered a lot
