　　第三部分：閱讀理解(共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分)

　　A

　　I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage.For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father.Totally loving.No ifs，ands or buts.

　　The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio.The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives.Then he went on to say，“Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love.” To myself，I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well，for two weeks that would change.

　　And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said，“That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”“Oh，Tom，you noticed”，she said，surprised and pleased.Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive，I wanted to sit and read.Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach.I started to refuse，but then I thought，“Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.

　　So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director；a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy，that’s how the whole vacation passed.I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.

　　There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment，however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage，preparing for bed，Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.

　　“What’s the matter？” I asked her.

　　“Tom，” she said in a voice filled with distress，“I don’t？”

　　“What do you mean？”

　　“Well...that checkup I had several weeks ago...our doctor...did he tell you something about me？Tom，you’ve been so good to me...am I dying？”

　　It took a moment for it all to be understood.Then I burst out laughing.

　　“No，honey，” I said，wrapping her in my arms.“You’re not dying；I’m just starting to live.”

　　56．In the first paragraph，“No ifs，ands or buts” probably means________.

　　A．Unintentionally

　　B．Independently

　　C．Impressively

　　D．Unconditionally

　　57．From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage________.

　　A．with his family

　　B．with Evelyn

　　C．alone

　　D．with his children

　　58．During the two weeks on the beach，Tom showed more love to his wife because________.

　　A．he was determined to be a good husband

　　B．he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm

　　C．she looked lovely in her new clothes

　　D．the doctor said his wife was seriously ill

　　59．The author says，“There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What does “one thing” refer to?

　　A．He praised her sweater，which puzzled her.

　　B．She insisted on visiting a museum，which he hated.

　　C．He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her.

　　D．He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.

　　60．By saying “I’m just starting to live，” Tom means that________.

　　A．he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life

　　B．he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband

　　C．he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change

　　D．he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before

　　B

　　Sleeping in on Saturday after a few weeks of too little shuteye may feel refreshing，but it can give a false sense of security.

　　New research shows long-term sleep loss cannot be cured that easily.Scientists researched the effects of short-and long-term sleep loss and found that those who suffer long-term sleep loss may function normally soon after waking up，but experience steadily slower reaction times as the day goes by，even if they had tried to catch up the previous night.

　　The research has important safety significances in an increasingly busy society，not just for shift-workers but for the roughly one in six Americans who regularly get six hours or less of sleep a night.

　　“We know that staying awake 24 hours without sleep will affect your performance to do all sorts of things，and this effect equals to drinking too much when driving，” said lead researcher Dr Daniel Cohen of Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital.But when those who suffer longterm sleep loss become all-nighters，“the harm is increased ten times，” Cohen said.
