I had my first job at a local diner called the Buttercup Bakery when I was 22. I worked there for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow waitress Helen who had incredible self-respect and did what she loved—serving people. She made everyone smile and feel good, customers and co-workers alike.

Being a waitress changed my life. One of my regular customers was Fred Hasbrook, an electronics salesman. Thanks to the newfound confidence I picked up from Helen, I dreamed of having my own restaurant. But when I called my parents to ask for a loan, they said, “We just don’t have the money.”

The next day, I shared my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I can do more if somebody would just have faith in me.”

He walked over to some of the other diner regulars and the next day handed me checks totaling $50,000—along with a note that I have to this day. It reads, “The only collateral（擔保）on this loan is my trust in your honesty as a person. Good people with a dream should have the opportunity to make that dream come true.”

I took the checks to Merrill Lynch—the first time I had ever entered a brokerage（經紀業(yè)）house—where the money was invested for me. I continued working at the Buttercup, making plans for the restaurant I would open. My investments soured, though, and I lost the money.

After great deliberation（考慮） I decided to apply for a job at Merrill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was hired and ended up becoming a pretty good broker. Eventually I paid back Fred and my customers the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest. Five years later, I was able to open my own firm.

I got a thank-you note from Fred, which will be imprinted on my head forever. He had been sick and wrote that my check had helped cover his mounting medical bills. His letter read, “That loan may have been one of the best investments that I will ever make.”

According to the passage, the author thought ______.

A. Helen was full of complaint about her work

B. it was easy for Helen to make everyone happy and comfortable

C. she was lucky to have a job working with Helen

D. it was not acceptable to live in such a bad condition

By saying that “Being a waitress changed my life.” the author means that ______.

A. the author got a high pay by working hard

B. the author borrowed $50,000 with no interest from Fred Hasbrook

C. the effort which she had made influenced her a lot

D. the experience working as a waitress was worthwhile for the author

Which of the following statements is not true of Fred Hasbrook?

A. Fred Hasbrook was one of the author’s regular customers.

B. Fred Hasbrook lent the author $50,000, together with other customers.

C. Fred Hasbrook’s self-respect had a great effect on the author.

答對三題以上（含三題）才給予加分；請在完成前五部分的前提下完成該部分

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。

Honesty may well be the policy, but it often deserts us when no one is watching, psychologists report today. Experiments with an honesty box to collect payments for hot drinks show that people are better at paying up when under the gaze of a pair of eyes. The surprise was that the eyes were not real, but photographed.

Researchers at Newcastle University set up the experiment in secret. They attached a poster to a cupboard of mugs above an honesty box alongside a kettle, with tea, coffee and milk. Over 10 weeks, they alternated (輪流替換) each week between images of eyes and pictures of flowers.

Dr. Bateson, a behavioral biologist and leader of the study, said that even though the eyes were not real they still seemed to make people behave more honestly. The effect may result from behavioral characteristics that developed as early humans formed social groups that increased their chances of survival. Individuals had to co-operate for the good of the group, rather than act selfishly.

“If nobody is watching us it is in our interests to behave selfishly. But when we think we’re being watched we should behave better, so people see us as co-operative and behave the same way towards us,” Dr. Bateson said.

“We thought we’d get a slight effect with eyes, by it was quite striking how much difference they made. Even at a subconscious level, it seems people respond to eyes, and that might be because eyes send a strong biological signal we have evolved(進化) to respond to.”

The finding, which researchers believe sheds light on our evolutionary past, could be turned to practical use. The psychologists say images of eyes could increase ticket sales on public transport and improve monitor systems to prevent antisocial behavior.

1．This passage is mainly about ____________.

         A．the policy of honesty B．an honesty box to collect money

         C．evolution on honesty          D．an experiment on honesty

2．The reason for doing the experiment secretly is that the researchers __________.

         A．wanted to get a comparatively more exact result

         B．had known they wanted to do something illegally

         C．meant to get the co-operation of their colleagues

         D．intended to sell the hot drinks at a higher price

3．People behave honestly under watchful gaze of eyes because ____________.

         A．they want to leave a good impression

         B．they fear to be laughed at by others

         C．they’ve got the nature through evolution

         D．they take the photo for a real pair of eyes

4．The underlined phrase “sheds light on” in the last paragraph means _________.

         A．causes somebody to become cheerful

         B．makes something easier to understand

         C．comes upon something by accident

         D．brings something into the broad daylight

5．Images of a pair of eyes can be applied to all except ________.

         A．ticket sales on public transport        B．cold drink sales in public places

         C．places with “No spitting!” signs        D．electrical appliances(電器) used at home
