• 1．Scottish Storytelling Centre，Edinburgh The Centre's ethos（價值觀）is summed up nicely by the old Scottish proverb， "The story is told eye to eye，mind to mind and heart to heart." The main draw is its programme of spoken- word performances，most of which take place in its 100-seat basement theatre.The storytelling does not just happen on stage，though.The ground floor has a large airy room used for exhibitions，workshops as well as a monthly story session for tots （Tiny Tales for one-to-three-year-olds）.
     Exit through the gift shop？
     No gift shop!Better than that，the centre has an independent bookshop，which specialises in myths and folk stories.Many are classics passed down from generation to generation，although contemporary material also abounds（大量存在）.Kids' books are plentiful.Contemporary highlights include Lari Don's Serpents and Werewovles and Janis Mackay's The Selkie Girl.Also worth a look is Animals，Beasties and Monsters of Scotland by Lea Taylor，which forms part of The History Press's superb compilation（編纂） of regional Scottish folk stories.There are also Scots' versions of Harry Potter，as well as Roald Dahl's The Twins.
  Getting there？
     The centre is in the middle of Edinburgh's Old Town，at the eastern end of the Royal Mile.It is a five-minute walk from Waverley railway station.Driving in the city centre is to be avoided；the nearest bus stops are on the High Street and North Bridge.For more information，visit Lothian Buses.
     Value for money？
     Reasonable.Entry to the ground-floor space is free，although all the theatre performances are ticketed.Prices for shows vary，with the average around ￡8 for adults and￡6 for children.Cafe Voices，the centre's monthly storytelling night，is￡5.

• 2．I was sitting at my kitchen table the other day with a pen，notebook，calculator and a pile of bills.I was doing my monthly budget.There were bills for electric water，rent，insurance，the car payment，the phone bill，and the cable bill.Plus money needed to be set aside for food，gas，clothes and hopefully a little left over to save for those unexpected bills that always seemed to show up.When I was done，I shook my head，closed my eyes and thought of a time long ago when I would regularly get treasures.
     When I was a boy，we lived across the road from Camp Caesar.It held week long camps all through the summer and my grandma who I lovingly called "Nanny" worked in her big kitchen.I remember slipping there getting a smile，a hug，a kiss and a hot roll from Nanny.Then she would always take deep in her pockets and pull out a treasure，a shiny quarter.She would give it to me and I would run down the hill to either get an ice cold can of coke from the pop machine or I would head to the camp's swimming pool where I could buy a warm cup of cherry coke for 15 cents and a tiny 10 cent bag of chips from a stand.I took my time because it was always a big decision.It was nice too feeling so rich for a few minutes.
     Looking back now I can see that the real treasure was not the quarter at all.It was the love with which Nanny gave it to me.I would have still visited her at work every day if I had never gotten a single quarter.It was her smile，hugs，and kisses that were priceless in my heart then and now.
     The old saying is true，"With your work you can make a living，but it is with your love that you make a life." You can always welcome love into your heart，soul and mind.And you can always share your love with others.It is that one treasure that lasts forever.
  
  （1）According to Paragraph 1，what was the author trying to figure out？

  
  A．Where to get treasures.
  B．What food and supplies to buy.
  C．How to sort out these bills at hand.
  D．How to balance the money available.
  （2）What does the underlined word "roll" in Paragraph 2 refer to？

  
  A．A kind of bread
  B．A kind of act.
  C．A sound.
  D．A greeting.
  （3）Which of the following best describes Nanny？

  
  A．Considerate.
  B．Generous.
  C．Affectionate.
  D．Enthusiastic.
  （4）Why does the author mention the old saying in the last Paragraph？

  
  A．To change people's heart and soul.
  B．To show what we should value in life.
  C．To explain work and love can make a life.
  D．To advise more love and sharing in childhood.

• 3．There is something to be said for being a generalist，even if you are a specialist.Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole，well-lived life.Nowadays society pushes us to specialize，to become experts.This requires commitment to a particular occupation，branch of study or research.There is a great deal of pressure to master one's field.You may pursue training，degrees，or increasing levels of responsibility at work.Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.
     Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty.But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom.These specialists could work at the office until ten each night，then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends，or traveled to exciting places，meeting interesting people.Mastering one thing to the exclusion（排除） of others can hold back your true spirit.
     Generalists，on the other hand，know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections.They are people of ability，talent，and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective into specific fields of expertise.The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor，one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.
     Things are connected.Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas.Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but，once you explore their depths，you discover that they are.My editor Toni，who is also a writer，has edited several history books.She has decided to study Chinese history.Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter，she is equally interested to learn more Chinese philosophy. "I do not know where it will lead，but I am excited I am on this pursuit."
     These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives.We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life，of ourselves and the universe.Develop broad，general knowledge and experience.The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.
  
  （1）The specialists mentioned in Paragraph 2 tend to

  .
  A．treasure their freedom
  B．travel around the world
  C．spend most time working
  D．enjoy meeting funny people
  （2）According to the author，a superior doctor is one who

  .
  A．is a pure specialist in medicine
  B．should love poetry and philosophy
  C．is fully aware of his talent and ability
  D．brings knowledge of other fields to work
  （3）What can we learn from the example of Toni？

  
  A．In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible.
  B．Passion alone does not ensure a person's success.
  C．Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit.
  D．Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected.
  （4）What could be the best title for the passage？

  
  A．Ways to Become a Generalist
  B．Turn a Generalist into a Specialist

      Lisa and I paid visit to the National Museum of China last weekend. We entered into it by the North Gate with our ID after a security check. The visit was freely of charge. Several exhibitions were arranged. All of us were interested in sculptures so we go to see the Stone Sculpture Art of the Song Dynasty. The figures looked vivid. That impressed us most was the staff： some were cleaning， some dressing in traditional costumes entertaining visitors， or dancing. These sculptures give us a look into the living custom， clothing characteristics and entertaining ways of people back in the Song Dynasty. They were very attractive that we forgot time. Hearing an announcement， we realized the museum was closed.
