Last Friday， after doing all the family shopping in the town， I wanted to have a rest before catching the rain. I

1 a newspaper and some chocolate and 2 into the station coffee shop. It was a cheap self-service place with long tables to 3 at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor， 4 the newspaper and the chocolate on the table and then went to get a cup of coffee.

When I came back with the coffee， there was someone 5 in the next seat. 6 was a boy， with dark glasses and old clothes， and 7 bright red at the front. He had started to eat my chocolate！

Naturally， I was rather uneasy about him， but I didnt want to have any 8 . I just read the newspaper， tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me in 9 . Then he took a 10 piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didnt say anything to him. When he took a third piece， I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought， “Well， I shall have the last piece.” And I got it.

The boy gave me a strange look， then 11 up. As he left， he shouted out， “Theres something 12 with that woman！” Everyone looked at me， 13 I didnt want to quarrel with the boy， so I kept quiet.

閱讀下列材料，從各小題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出一個最佳答案。

A

Throughout history， people have been interested in knowing how language first began， but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. However， we do know a lot about languages， the languages of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are probably about three thousand languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers. English， Russian and Spanish are also spoken by millions of people. On the other hand， some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers.

There are several important families of languages in the world. For example， most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original language of this family was spoken about 4，500 years ago. Many of the present-day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4，500 years ago.

Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time， some even die out completely. About 1，000 years ago， English was a little known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of Europe.

If a language has a number of speakers， or if it is very old， there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is， the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of people. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China cant understand speakers from other parts.

What is your favorite color？ Do you like yellow， orange or red？ If you do， you must be an active person who enjoys life. Do you like blue？ Then you are probably quiet， shy， and would rather follow than lead.

Colours do influence our moods （情緒）. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one； and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand， black is depressing （令人壓抑的）. There was a black bridge over the Thames River， near London. The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than on any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green.

Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. In the factory， the workers will work better， harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black.

In general， its hard to spend enough time in both concentrating on lessons and taking part in social activities. But I wanted to succeed in both. I knew this would be a challenge but I didnt realize how difficult it was until my classes in the high school began.

I got on well with other girls. After school， I often had ice cream with them first instead of finishing my homework before it was time to hand it in. I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew it wasnt very good and the grades that I got showed I was not hard-working enough. I realized that I needed to find some kind of balance.

So I created a timetable that would divide my time between studying and relaxing. It was a good idea but I was only able to follow it for a few days because it made me under too much pressure.

Later， I tried another plan. Each week I listed everything that I had to get done during the week and the time by which I had to get it done. Then under the things I had to do， I made another list of things that I could do if I had time.

It worked really well. Ever since， I have never missed any important things. At the same time， I enjoyed my spare time a lot.

Planning my time has been challenging， but I continue to do it. Im glad that Ive learned to balance things and it has helped prepare for what is coming after graduation.

（ ）27. Why did the writer follow the first timetable only for a few days？

A. Because it had a specific list. B. Because it wasnt a good idea.

C. Because it brought her too much pressure.

（ ）28. What wasnt included in the writers second time plan？

A. The things she shouldnt do. B. The things she had to get done.

C. The things she could do if she had time.

（ ）29. According to the passage， which of the following is true？
