We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four．Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner．I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang．Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom． The guests arrived．I introduced my two daughters to each of them．The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids． Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile．They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age． I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt．We do it with the best of intention． But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child．I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined （胜过）．I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes．I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying． I said, “What are you doing, my dear?” She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?” I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better． Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first． 1.The underlined expression ‘make a big “to do” over’ （paragraph 4） means ____． A．show much concern about B．have a special effect on C．list jobs to be done for D．do good things for 2.The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ____． A．young age B．lovely smile C．pretty clothes D．beautiful hair 3.Kristen felt sad and cried because ____． A．the guest gave her more coats to carry B．the guests praised her sister more than her C．her mother didn’t introduce her to the guests D．she didn’t look as pretty as Kelly。 4.We can conclude from the passage that ____． A．parents should pay more attention to the elder children B．the younger children are usually more easily hurt C．people usually like the younger children more D．adults should treat children equally

First Days First days are milestones in our lives．They mark the beginning of a new experience or journey．They are also filled with mixed emotions．They can be a little frightening as we step into the unknown, but they can also inspire us as they give us fresh hope for the future, First days are powerful as we can leave our mistakes and failures in the past and make a new start． I want to share a story that perfectly illustrates （说明）this point．It is a story about a little girl named Trisha．Trisha was born into a family of teachers who had taught her that reading was the key to knowledge．She watched her older brother as he read his schoolbooks and could hardly wait for the day when she would learn to read． But when Trisha finally started school, she found that she was not able to understand the words like the other boys and girls．No matter how hard she tried, the letters mixed up together, and she saw only confusion．Trisha fell further behind, the other children laughed and made fun of her, and she began to believe that she was not smart．By the time Trisha entered fifth grade, she had lost all confidence in herself．That was the year she met Mr．Falker．He was different．He praised Trisha’s talents, and he wouldn’t tolerate（容忍） the other children teasing her．Mr．Falker realized that Trisha didn’t know how to read, but he knew she could with some help． He recruited（招聘）a reading specialist, and together they worked with Trisha after school．They helped her to write letters and hear the sounds until one day Mr．Falker handed her a book and she read it all by herself．She didn’t even notice the tears in his eyes． This is a true story．The little girl is Patricia Polacco, the famous children’s author, and Thank you Mr．Falker is the twenty-sixth book that she has written． Mr．Falker gave her a fresh new start when she walked into his fifth grade class on that first day of school．And he made a difference in her life． We can all make a difference in the world —one student at a time by using “first days” with wisdom and grace（仁慈）, and giving each individual the chance to start over and become the best that they can be． 1.Trisha fell far behind in school because she _______． A．was not confident B．was not smart enough C．did not know how to read D．did not try her best 2.The passage is probably intended for _______． A．teachers B．students C．children’s authors D．reading specialists 3.How does the writer make his point?

Who’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people—society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community．We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course．We were brainwashed．We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us．As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people．Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry（模仿）, their passions a quotation（引用）．” So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good．We long for this good feeling like a drug．Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to．Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix （一剂毒品）．We worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval． But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay．The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves．The truth is that we cannot control what other people think．People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you．Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand．Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time．The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process． So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think．We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values---not values imposed（强加）from the outside by others, but innate（天生的） values which come from within．If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life． 1.What Oscar Wilde says implies that _____________． A．we have thoughts similar to those of others B．most people have a variety of thoughts C．most people’s lives are controlled by others’ thoughts D．other people’s thoughts are more important 2.What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph ? A．We may lose ourselves to please others． B．Changing opinions may cost us our freedom． C．We need to pay for what we want to get． D．The price of taking drugs is freedom． 3.In order to live a happy, effective and purposeful life, we should _________． A．care about others’ opinions and change opinions all the time B．guide ourselves by means of values from the outside C．persuade others to accept our opinions D．stick to our own values 4.It can be concluded from the passage that __________． A．we should live our own life B．it’s better to do whatever we like C．we shouldn't change our own opinions D．it’s important to accept others’ opinions

Dear Peter, I’m writing to ask whether you are able to give me a favor．I want to have a pen pal, especially a girl in her early twenty, and with interests similar to mine．In my mind, she was someone who is interested in travelling and swimming．Beside, it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have kept one at home for some times． With such a pen pal, I think I can share with him our travelling experiences, the way in that we take care of pets, or whatever we have in common．But I believe I will improve my English doing so and learn more about her country． I look forward to hear from you． Best regards, Yours Li Hua
