So his letters were full of frontline(前线) 42 of the things about the war. Each of my mother’s letters was marked with her 1944 dark red lipstick(口红) kiss. I was 43 to these letters like a magnet(磁铁).

I was a newcomer of Miss Burn’s seventh grade. Past“newcomer”experiences had been difficult, so I was very anxious to fit in. Lunchtime was a pleasant surprise when the girls all crowded around my table. Their chat was friendly, so I began to relax. My new classmates filled me in on the school, the teachers and the other kids. it wasn’t long before the class herd(书呆子)was pointed out to me: Mary Lou. Actually she called herself Mary Louise. A formal, overmodest young girl with old-fashioned clothes, she wasn’t ugly—not even funny looking. Practical shoes, long wool skirt and a blouse completed the image of a complete herd. The girls’ whispers got louder and louder. Mary Lou didn’t notice this. After school, the girls invited me to join them in front of the school. Arms wrapped around her backpack, Mary Lou came down the school steps. The taunting began—rude, biting comments and disrespectful words from the girls. I paused, then joined right in. My force began to pick up as I approached her, mean(卑劣)remarks falling from my lips. I even pulled the belt of her backpack and then pushed her. The belt broke, Mary Lou fell. Everyone was laughing and patting me. I fit in. But I was not proud. Something inside me hurt. Mary Lou got up, gathered her books and—without a tear shed—off, she went. She held her head high as a small trickle of blood ran down from her injured knee. I turned to leave with my laughing friends and noticed a man standing beside his car. His skin, dark hair and handsome features told me this was her father. Respectful of Mary Lou’s proud spirit, he remained still and watched the lonely girl walk toward him. Only his eyes—shining with both grief and pride—followed. As I passed, he looked at me in silence with burning tears that spoke to my shame and scolded my heart. He didn’t speak a word. No scolding from a teacher or a parent could linger(逗留)as much as that hurt in my heart from the day a father’s eyes taught me kindness and strength and dignity. I never again joined the cruel herds. I never again hurt someone for my own gain. 1. The writer felt she fit in when . A. she relaxed and talked with her new classmate B. she became a leader of a school club C. she picked a wing off a butterfly D. others cheered for her after she treated Mary badly 2.What does the underlined word“taunting”mean in the article? A. Playing a game B. Joining a club C. Criticizing a person D. Watching a movie 3.Mary’s father after he saw what happened to her daughter. A. felt shameful and angry for his daughter B. felt sad and proud for his daughter’s bravery C. felt it necessary to teach the writer a lesson D. felt it a pity that she didn’t fight back 4.The writer would never hurt someone for her own gain because she . A. was impressed by Mary’s calmness B. was afraid to be scolded by Mary’s father C. was sorry she hurt Mary’s knee D. was aware that it was a shame to make fun of Mary 5.According to the article, the writer is probably . A. a rude girl who enjoys making fun of others B. a clever girl who is good at making friends with others C. a shy girl who isn’t good at communicating with others D. a brave girl who is willing to correct her mistakes

Speech—the act of uttering sounds to convey meaning—is a kind of human action. Like any other constantly repeated action, speaking has to be learned, but once it is learned, it becomes a generally unconscious and apparently automatic process. As far as we can determine, human beings do not need to be forced to speak; most babies seem to possess a sort of instinctive drive to produce speech like noises. How to speak and what to say are another matter altogetner. There actions are learned from the particular society into which the baby is born; so that, like all conduct that is learned from a society—from the people around us—speech is a patterned activity. The meandering(漫目无地的)babble(咿呀学语)and chatter of a young child are eventually channeled by imitation into a few orderly grooves that represent the pattern accepted as meaningful by the people around him. Similarly, a child’s indiscriminate(不加分辨的)practice of putting things into his mouth becomes limited to putting food into his mouth in a certain way. The sounds that a child can make are more varied and numerous than the sounds that any particular language uses. However, a child born into a society with a pattem of language is encouraged to make a small selection of sounds and to make these few sounds over and over until it is natural for him to make these sounds and not others. 1.For an adult, the process of speaking usually involves . A. conscious selection of sounds B. imitation of those around him C. a drive to make noises D. unconscious actions 2.The selection says that most babies have an instinctive drive to . A. express ideas in words B. make speech like noise C. convey meaning D. imitate sounds around them 3.Conduct that is learned from a society may be called . A. instinctive drive B. selection C. automatic activity D. patterned activity 4.The sounds that a child is able to make are . A. not as varied as those used in language B. more varied and numerous than those in any language C. far fewer than those needed to form a language D. completely different from the sounds of language 5.We may say that a child has learned to speak if he . A. makes varied sounds B. carefully considers each sound he makes C. makes only certain sounds naturally D. imitates people around him
