　　Ⅱ.閱讀理解

　　A few days ago I asked my sons’ governess (家庭女教師) Julia to come into my study.“Be seated，Julia，”I said，“Let’s settle our accounts.I guess you most likely need some money，but maybe you’re too polite to mention it.Now then，we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”

　　“Forty.”

　　“No，thirty.I made a note of it.I always pay our governess thirty.Well，um，you’ve been here for two months，so...”

　　“Two months and five days.”

　　“Exactly two months.I made a special note of it.That means you have sixty dollars coming to you.Take nine Sundays off...you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays，and you only took walks.And three holidays...”Julia was biting her fingernail nervously，her face red，but，not a word.

　　“Three holidays，therefore take twelve dollars off your pay.Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons，as you were occupied only with Dick.Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch.Twelve and seven makes nineteen.Take nineteen off...that leaves，hmm...forty-one dollars.Correct？”

　　Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up.Her chin trembled，and she coughed nervously and blew her nose，but still not a word.

　　“Around New Year’s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer；take two dollars off your pay.The cup cost more，because it was a treasure of the family，but forget it.Then，due to your neglect(疏忽)，Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket；take away ten.Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes.You ought to watch everything！You get paid for it.So，that means five more dollars off.The tenth of January I gave you ten dollars.”

　　“You didn’t.”sobbed Julia.

　　“But I made a note of it.”

　　“Well...if you say so.”

　　“Take twenty-seven from forty-one，and that leaves fourteen.”

　　Both her eyes were filled with tears.Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose.Poor girl!

　　“Only once was I given any money，”she whispered，her voice trembling，“and that was by your wife.Three dollars，nothing more.”

　　“Really？You see now，and I didn’t know that！Take three from fourteen and it leaves eleven.Here’s your money，my dear.Three，three，three，one and one.Here it is！”

　　I handed her eleven dollars.She took them and pocketed them.

　　“Merci(Thanks)，”she whispered.

　　I jumped to my feet and started pacing the floor.I was overcome with anger.“For what，this ‘merci’？”I asked.

　　“For the money.”

　　“But you know I’ve cheated you—robbed you！I have actually stolen from you！Why this ‘merci’？ ”

　　“In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”

　　“They didn’t give you anything？No wonder！I played a little joke on you，a cruel lesson，just to teach you...I’m going to give you all the eighty dollars！Here they are in the envelope all ready for you...Is it really possible to be so spineless(懦弱)？Why didn’t you protest？Why were you silent？Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)—to be such a fool？”

　　Embarrassed，she smiled.And I could read her expression，“It is possible.”

　　I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and，to her great surprise，gave her the eighty dollars.She murmured her little “merci”several times and went out.I looked at her and thought，“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world！”

　　16．While talking to Julia，the writer expected________from her.

　　A．a(chǎn) protestB．gratitudeC．obedienceD．a(chǎn)n explanation

　　Ⅲ.任務(wù)型讀寫

　　Autumn blues？Let the sunshine in falling leaves，withering flowers，cold winds，faint sunshine.For many people late autumn can be a season of gloom and depression.Spirits can be low.

　　People who suffer from “the autumn blues” are often extremely exhausted，lack energy，need more sleep，feel increased appetite and gain weight.

　　“The exact cause of this condition，often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder(SAD)，is not known yet，” says Chen Jue，associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center.“But recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused by changes in the availability of sunlight.”

　　One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight，the biological clock that regulates mood，sleep，and hormones is delayed，running more slowly in winter.Exposure to light may reset the biological clock.

　　Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves may be altered in individuals with SAD.It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.

　　“It is a sad season，but you can try to make it happy.Remember，spring always lives in your heart，” Chen says.

　　Here are some tips to deal with autumn depression.

　　—Go outdoors and get some sunlight.Move around.Fresh air and exercise can improve the respiratory(呼吸) system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system.Thus，exercise is calming and relieves one’s mood.

　　—Relax at work.Stretch，breathe deeply.Take a tea break.Think of your next vacation.

　　—Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket.Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits.

　　—Look at bright colors，such as red and orange.Colour therapy improves mood.

　　—Listen to your favorite music.You can dance to it，or just lie on a cozy couch，reading a novel.

　　—Decorate your room and work space with flowers.Blooming plants are cheering.

　　—Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed.Recall some happy memories.
