From the time I lined up my dolls on the sofa...

From the time I lined up my dolls on the sofa in playschool, I wanted to be a teacher.　 “Open your books,” I would 　　 my teddy bear and dolls. Then I would 　　 teach them whatever new things I had just 　　　　 at school.

For me, dream was one thing, and 　　　 was quite another. My family was too poor to 　　　　 my tuition. Finally, with others’ help, I attended a state university. However, I 　　　　 needed more money to pay for my other expenses, so I found a part-time job,　　　 test tubes in the science department. At then I believed that every dirty test tube I washed meant I was one step closer to my 　　　　 .

When working as a substitute (代替) teacher in the local area, I learned they were planning to 　　　　　 the biology teacher I had substituted for. I was sure the 　　　　 was meant for me. However, the principal (校长) said, “You’re too 　　　 . This last teacher had a lot of discipline problems because of his age. We want someone older － with more 　　　　 .”

I cried all the way to work, disappointed and 　　　　　 . Suddenly, a stranger who I met by chance asked me what had happened. I told him how much I wanted to 　 　　 　　　 and how upset I was to be 　　　　　 because of my age. Then I also shared some of my thoughts with him. He　　　 me, “Never lose heart. I believe you can make it.” The next morning my phone rang. It was the principal calling to offer me the 　　　　　 position. I was totally 　　　　 and asked him why. He explained, “You made quite an impression on the chairman of our Board of Directors. He 　　　　 that you should have this position.” A few weeks later, I stood by the door of my classroom, welcoming my 　　　　　 on their first day of school. When they were settled, I said with a smile, “Open your books.”

I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part. in. and live in.

With this unshakable belief, I, at. fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a. law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

1. What can be inferred about the author as a child?

A.　 He never watched TV.

B.　 He read what he had to.

C.　 He found reading unbelievable.

D.　 He considered reading part of his life.

2.The underlined word "voice" in the second paragraph most probably means “　　　　 ”.

A. an idea

B. a sound quality

C. a way of writing

D. a world to write about

3. What effect does reading have on the author?

A. It helps him to realize his dream.

B. It opens up a wider world for him.

C. It makes his college life more interesting.

D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.

4. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

A. Why do I read?

B. How do I read?

C. What do I read?

D. When do I read?

When Dan Shaw gets up from the sofa in his home, Cuddles is never far away. When he wants to go outside, he doesn’t take Cuddles out for walk—Cuddles takes him for a walk. Cuddles is clearly no ordinary family pet. It is a two-foot-high miniature horse and serves as the guiding eyes of Shaw, who is blind.

When Shaw lost his sight, his wife suggested he apply for a guide dog. Shaw, an animal lover, said he couldn’t bear to part with a dog (which usually lives about eight to ten years) and get used to a new one, perhaps several times in his life.

Then Shaw heard of a program about the tiny guide horses. He learned that the horse possess many qualities that make them an excellent choice for guiding people. They are clean friendly, smart and have great memories. They can be trained to remain calm in noisy and crowded places. Best of all, they live for 25-25years, which would enable Shaw to have the same guide companion for most or all of his life.

Shaw immediately applied to be and was accepted as the first person to receive a guide horse. The instant he met Cuddles, he knew he was making the right choice. Then he began his training.

Through training ,Shaw and Cuddles learned to find way on busy streets, step over curbs (便道沿儿) and find elevator buttons. Cuddles even demonstrated (显示)its ability to step in front of Shaw and block him, to prevent him from walking into a dangerous situation. The little horse also expertly led Shaw through busy shopping malls. They got along without any difficulties. Now Shaw is confident that Cuddles will change his life for the better.

On a cold winter day in Denver, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the co-author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.

During his talk, Jack　 1　 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, "Who wants this?"

Hnads　 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would　 choose. But I

ran up the　 stairs　 to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. He turned to me and said, “Yes, that’s it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply take the initiative and create what we want!”

After this week, I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mail sharing my views and dreams. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragement such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it’s much more fun that way. Love, Jack.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mail Jack.

A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had this idea if I got back in touch with Jack. I e-mailed him again and again but got no response. As I sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: What was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? I knew I needed to do something about all this waiting. I was going to write a book, which I would call “Waiting for Jack”!

It all sounded good, but then reality hit. Some nights I cried and wanted to give up. I wrote and rewrote. Even though I could feel the fear, I did it anyway. Fortunately, three years later, Waiting for Jack turns out a best-seller on Amazon!

We all have a “Jack” for whom we wait—whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. Now I would like to ask you: what are you waiting for?

1.From the first paragraph we can learn that the author _________.

A. wanted Jack to autograph her book

B. wanted to be as successful as Jack

C. wanted to make friends with Jack

D. wanted to get help from Jack

2.It can be inferred from the passage that Jack Canfield is probably a person who ________.

A. enjoys playing a lot

B. likes showing off his wealth

C. seldom takes risks

D. welcomes challenges in life

3.How did the author lose contact with Jack?

A. She and Jack had an argument

B. She had no time to contact Jack

C. Jack was too proud to get along with

D. She was too upset with her broken dream

4. What might be the theme of the book Waiting for Jack?

A. The disappointment of waiting for her hero Jack

B. The need to keep waiting for the prize of our life

C. The importance of taking action to achieve a goal

D. The harm of blindly worshipping others as heroes
