My mom isn’t fancy like other moms．They wear fancy clothes and drive fancy cars．My mom wears her gardening clothes when she walks me to school．

When fancy moms laugh，their laughs sound soft and whispery．You can hear my mom’s laugh from down the hall．I show her how to laugh quietly and she practices．But before long she starts lau ghing even harder than before．

At the talent show，my mom cheers loudly，“Bravo，everyone！Bravo！”instead of clapping politely the way fancy moms do．

For our class hike（徒步旅行），parents are invited．At breakfast I go over my rules for Mom，“Please don’t whistle．Don’t laugh loudly．No clapping．And stay in line．”

The other moms show up wearing fancy jackets and sneakers．My mom wears cutoffs，a floppy straw hat，and her old hiking boots．

We hike along，all in a line．Soon Mom starts to whistle her hiking songs，She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain．I shake my head at her．She stops and whispers，“Oops．Sorry，Jane．”

We keep hiking．Everything is perfect until…

Our teacher，Ms．Steele，stops and points，“A snake！”All the moms hold their kids hands and back up，except my mom．“Watch out！It might be poisonous（有毒的）！”Ms．Steele says．

The other moms shuttle back some more．However，my mom steps forward and says，“Hmm．Let’s see what kind it is．Nope，lt’s not poisonous．”

I shut my eyes．I know what’s coming next．Mom makes a sudden attack．“Got it！”she says．The other moms scream，not sounding fancy at all．

Kids gather around as Mom examines the snake．“It’s OK to touch，”she says．

Everyone’s too scared，but I go first．“snakes aren’t slimy，”I tell them．Right away，others line up．A couple of the fancy moms come up to touch the snake’s tail．

Later，Ms．Steele tells us to draw our favorite part of the hike．After a while，I look around quickly．Everyone’s picture is of Mom and me with the snake．

As we hike back to the bus，I squeeze Mom’s hand．“I’m glad I didn’t tell you my don’t-catch-snakes rule．”She smiles．But soon，she’s whistling her hiking songs again！

I start to make her silent，then stop．Instead，I take a deep breath and sing ou t too．Everyone joins in，even the fancy moms．

Nearly half of elementary and high schools in the US use the Presidential Fitness Test．It checks kids’ fitness levels．Students are tested at least twice a year．In 1956, US President Eisenhower created the test, and it has been a tradition in schools since 1966．

There are five activities in the test: sit-ups(仰卧起坐), push-ups(俯卧撑), sit and reach, endurance run or walk and shuttle run(折返跑)．Students who get scores at or above 85 percent on all the activities can get a Presidential Physical Fitness Award．

Jane Austen (1775817), an English novelist, started writing young and completed six novels in her life．Today Austen’s books are more popular than ever．In the last 10 years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be best-sellers．

Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University, says that her novels are about marriage, friendships and the family, which are still with us today．“The stories are timeless,” Jenkyns said．

Pride and Prejudice(偏见)(1813) is Austen’s most famous work．It is a love story about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr．Darcy．At first, these two dislike each other．Elizabeth is pretty, smart and lively．She is proud because Darcy doesn’t know about her family．Mr．Darcy is handsome, rich and has a better family background．So, he is proud as well．At the same time, Darcy holds a prejudice against the Bennet family．He has no understanding of why the family, especially its mother and daughters should try so hard to find wealthy and powerful husbands．He thinks they are vulgar．Anyway, Elizabeth and Darcy finally fall in love and become a romantic couple(夫妻) but their families don’t want them to．

In Pride and Prejudice, some of the main things that Jane Austen wants to teach people are as follows．Opposites can attract（吸引） each other．Lovers should not only make each other feel relaxed or comfortable, but also educate and improve each other．

Austen os often  called the greatest romantic writer, so it is surprising she remained unmarried．‘Maybe she was too romantic, waiting for the perfect man,” Jenkyns says．

A．Jane Austen passed away in her fifties

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost．These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared (使惊恐) me so much．There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal．Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind．A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day．My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast．I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school．Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home．That was no problem．After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places．On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.

Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others．Being popular was so important t o me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.

One of the processes (过程) about growing up is being able to realize and overcome (克服) our fears．Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

1.________would scare the writer at night.

A．Streetlight and car lights

B．Wild animals and enemies

B．take a bus by herself

C．follow others closely

D．make sure not to take a wrong bus

3.Which of the following statements would be possibly TRUE when she was a child?

A．She thought being popular among people was important.

B．She was always the leader of the others.

C．She always got poor grades.
