　　Passage 1

　　At Denver there was a flow of passengers into the coaches on the eastbound express. In one coach there sat a very pretty young woman dressed in elegant taste and surrounded by all the comforts of an experienced traveler. Among the newcomers were two young men, one of handsome look with a bold, frank expression; the other heavily built and roughly dressed. The two were handcuffed together.

　　As they passed down the aisle of the coach the only vacant seat offered was the one facing the attractive young woman. Here the linked couple seated themselves. When the young woman’s glance fell upon them, her face brightened with a lovely smile.

　　“Well, Mr. Easton, if you will make me speak first, I suppose I must. Don’t you ever recognize old friends when you meet them in the west?”

　　The young man roused himself sharply at the sound of her voice, seemed to struggle with a slight embarrassment which he threw off instantly, and then clasped her fingers with his left hand.

　　“It’s Miss Fairchild,” he said, with a smile. “I’ll ask you to excuse the other hand; it’s otherwise engaged just at present.”

　　He slightly raised his right hand, bound at the wrist by the shining “bracelet” to the left one of his companion. The glad look in the girl’s eyes slowly changed to a puzzled horror. The glow faded from her cheeks. Easton, with a little laugh, as if amused, was about to speak again when the other stopped him. The heavily-built man said, “You’ll excuse me for speaking, miss, but, I see you’re acquainted with the marshal here. If you’ll ask him to speak a word for me when we get to prison he’ll do it, and it’ll make things easier for me there. He’s taking me to Leavenworth prison. It’s seven years for making fake money.”

　　“Oh!” said the girl, with a deep breath and returning color. “So that is what you are doing out here? A marshal!”

　　The conversation between the girl and Easton carried on happily until the heavily-built man growled, “Say, Mr. Marshal, this isn’t quite fair. I’m needing a drink, and haven’t had a smoke all day. Haven’t you talked long enough? Take me in the smoker now, won’t you? I’m half dead for a pipe.”

　　When the two men left for the smoker, said one of the passengers near by: “That marshal’s a good sort of guy. Some of these Western fellows are all right.”

　　“Pretty young to hold an office like that, isn’t he?” asked the other.

　　“Young!” exclaimed the first speaker, “Why―Oh! didn’t you catch on? Say―did you ever know an officer to handcuff a prisoner to his right hand?”

　　21. The train set off from ______.

　　A. the east of the United States

　　B. the west of the United States

　　C. the south of the United States

　　D. the middle west of the Untied States

　　A. she wanted to be polite to the other passengers

　　B. she recognized Easton, who was a friend of hers

　　C. she was glad to have someone to talk to in the coach

　　D. she thought it was funny for two men to be linked together

　　23. When the heavily-built man asked the pretty woman to speak a word for him, he wanted to ______.

　　A. save Easton from embarrassment

　　B. reduce his own suffering in prison

　　C. strike up a conversation with the attractive woman

　　D. help Easton to carry on the conversation with the woman

　　Passage 2

　　America has long been considered the land of opportunity by those from other countries. Americans, too, believe that the United States provides almost limitless opportunity for those who want to open businesses on their own.

　　Today, Americans are still fond of trying their hand at becoming small business people, even though only one out of two survives the first two years. Many of these people start their businesses for the wrong reasons: to get away from the paper work of their present jobs or to exchange the responsibility of their present jobs for freer life styles. But more, not less, paper work and responsibility come with ownership of a small business. John Shuttleworth, owner of the recently successful news magazine Mother Earth, reports having had to work sixty hours straight in order to bring out the first issue.

　　John Shuttleworth waited years after thinking about the idea for Mother Earth before he attempted to put out the first issue. During that time, he collected as much information as he could about his plan. He borrowed books about business from the library; he talked to people already established in the field; and he began planning in detail the amount of money and the kinds and numbers of supplies he would need. When he finally opened with a capital of $1,500, he set up his office in the kitchen of his home and his printing press in the garage. Due to his devotion to business, his skill and talent, Mother Earth now has a circulation of 300,000.

　　Not all small businesses succeed as well as Mother Earth does. Fifty percent of the 450,000 that start in the United States every year fail. Still, ninety-five percent businesses in the States can be described as small. Combined, these businesses account for forty percent of America’s gross (總的) national product.

　　26. Many people start their businesses for the wrong reasons as they do not realize that their businesses will ______.

　　A. have a great chance of failure

　　B. provide large income but less responsibility

　　C. require longer working hours but less paper work

　　D. not relieve them from much paper work and responsibility

　　27. In the second paragraph “straight” means ______.

　　A. continuously B. honestly

　　C. alone D. not curved

　　28. Before John Shuttleworth started his business, he ______.

　　A. borrowed money B. developed a rough plan

　　C. made all kinds of preparations D. visited some established businesses

　　29. Which of the following is NOT true of the small businesses in the United States?

　　A. One can start a small business at home.

　　B. America’s development depends a lot on small businesses.

　　C. Many people in America start small businesses to escape paper work.

　　D. 50% of the small businesses fail because the owners are not well prepared.

　　30. This passage is mainly about ______.

　　A. John Shuttleworth’s success

　　B. the failure of businesses in the United States

　　C. starting a small business in the United States

　　D. American people’s attitude towards businesses

　　Mum kept a really close eye on us when we were born, and as soon as she spotted something wrong she immediately fixed it 51 .
