I was sleeping in my room when my bed started shaking and a loud noise was heard. I woke up and my mom was screaming my name. Next moment I was running along with my younger sister, mom and dad. Before I ran out of the door, I realized my elder sister hadn’t come out yet. So I screamed her name at the top of my voice. My mom said she had gone to her class. Then the four of us, along with many others, were running on the staircase. We lived on the seventh floor, so I thought we would not be able to make it and the building would fall before we managed to reach even the fourth floor. My dad’s head was injured by something falling down. I did try to put my hand over his head. When we reached the sixth floor, the building split into two. We had no way to get down.

The next thing I remember is silence. There were around 30 people on the staircase and none could react. Five minutes later, someone opened the door of the sixth-floor flat. We all went in. We were wondering how would get down. From the balcony of the sixth-floor flat, I saw people standing on the ground floor. All eyes were stuck on us. I could see my elder sister crying.

Our first hope of surviving came when a worker climbed a rope to where we were. That was the first time we thought maybe we could get down. Half an hour passed and we were still trapped. Finally RSS people arrived with ropes. They got people down one by one. My biggest worry was how my dad would get down. Finally after two and a half hours, we all got down.

That day we saw the power of nature. It has taken more than two years to build the flats and it took just one and a half minutes to destroy the structure.

1.What is this passage mainly about?

2.When the building split into two, the writer and his family ____________.

3.The first time the writer thought they would probably survive was when            .

4.The earthquake made the writer realize that                       .

One summer, when I was young, my dad built me a lemonade stand. On sunny days I would set up outside the local car wash with a cooler and my little black safe. I didn’t get many customers but I always had fun, whether I was reading a book or adding paint decorations to the safe and signs.

One customer I did have was an elderly gentleman who lived across the street from the car wash.

He would come every day where I set up and buy a glass of lemonade for his wife. Even though I only charged 25 cents, he always paid me with a $1 Sacagawea coin. I built up quite a collection by the end of the summer!

Now, as a college student, I make a point of stopping at as many lemonade stands as I can, always paying more than the kids charge me. This has been going on for almost three years now but this week, I didn’t have any money with me when I stopped at a little girl’s stand. I dug around in my car thoroughly and eventually opened up one of my moving boxes showing a black safe covered in soft cloth painted rainbows and hearts. I opened it up and sure enough, there were my Sacagawea coins. I almost shut the lid again because they mean so much to me, but then I realized that this is exactly why I had to pay with the coin. When I gave that little girl the shiny gold coin, I said, “You hang on to this one; they don’t make them any more!” And her face lit up. As I drove away, I saw her running to her sister to show her the gold coin and I knew that I had made her just as happy as I was when I was a little girl.

1.What did the gentleman pay the author for the lemonade?

A.25 cents every time. B.A collection of gold coins.

C.A one-dollar gold coin each time. D.A little black safe with many gold coins.

2.Why did the author pay the little girl with a gold coin?

A.To pass the kindness. B.To show her wealth.

C.To help the poor girl. D.To make the girl happy.

3.How did the author feel when she gave the girl the coin?

A.Unwilling and hesitant. B.Excited and willing.

C.Serious and pleased. D.Peaceful and pleased.

4.What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.A Kind Young Lady B.A Shiny Gold Coin

C.A Wealthy Gentleman D.A Happy Lemonade Stand

From a young age, I would climb up and down for fun. My first introduction to gymnastics was through my older sister Arielle, who used to be a gymnast. She taught me how to do my first cartwheel(侧手翻). By the end of the week, I was teaching myself one-armed cartwheels and my sister said to my mom, “You need to put this kid in gymnastics.”

At about age 9, I realized that I wanted to pursue the Olympic path. I was used to the public eye, but the Olympic stage was different. The Games teach you to act in a certain way and to be disciplined(守纪律的). They teach you to be a mature young lady, and you grow up fast.

When I started this journey, I never knew what it actually took to get to the Olympics. I thought it was: Training. I had to give up a normal kind of life for gymnastics, but I didn’t mind. I moved from Virginia Beach to Iowa to get a different coach. I sacrificed my privacy. Gymnastics was what I was going to eat, breathe and sleep. It takes a lot to be an Olympic athlete. You may have a talent, but the people who work harder than you will surpass(超过) you.

Throughout my career, a lot of people have doubted me. When someone tells you that you can’t do it, especially when there are many people, you start to believe it. It took me years to figure out how great I was at gymnastics. Fear held me back when I hurt my leg in 2011, but I told myself that I had a talent and that I was going to use it. I went to the world championships and got a team gold.

I won three gold medals at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games and helped Team USA win gold at the 2011 and 2015 world championships. My mom used to say, “Inspire a generation.” It’s one thing when you say it, but I never thought that I would be a pioneer and that people would draw inspiration from my story.

1.Why did the author’s sister suggest putting her in gymnastics?

A. She was talented in gymnastics.

B. She needed to decide her future career.

C. She was too noisy to stay at home.

D. She had fallen in love with gymnastics.

2.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that the author ________.

A. left school at an early age

B. devoted great efforts to training

C. thought talent was necessary

D. dreamed of being famous one day

3.What did the author learn from others’ doubt?

A. Failures were unavoidable.

B. She had to improve her skills.

C. She should be confident in herself.

D. What others thought was not important.

4.What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?

A. Her childhood experience.

B. Her road to success.

C. Her passion for the Olympics.

D. Her performance in gymnastics.

One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the Bhagavat Geeta just like you but I don't understand it, What good does reading the Bhagavat Geeta do?"

When I was in the fifth grade and Mr. Gardner asked a question, my hand would often shoot up in enthusiasm. After giving me a few opportunities, he would try to give other students a chance. My hand, though, would remain in the air, and after some time, I’d start waving it around. Then, there was the time I entered drumming classes. But all we were allowed to do in the first class was practice one beat over and over again. I never went back.

I would have done terribly in the Stanford Marshmallow(果浆软糖) Experiment. In this classic study, researchers gave children a choice between one marshmallow right away and two later. The results showed that those who could wait 15 minutes ended up scoring 210 points higher on the SAT, an examination that American high school students take before they go to college.

So clearly, delaying(延迟的) gratification or bearing up under pain have their benefits. It needs patience, which keeps us from being stuck to ideas formed previously, and helps us let go of our strong desire for consequences. We come to accept that we don’t always or immediately know what is best, and learn to recognize that our reality is in constant changes. Patience improves our understanding of deeper truths and helps us expand our views.

The journey of patience is rooted in knowing that our present reality will finally give way to changes. But changes won’t always happen when we think they should, and patience with ourselves comes from accepting that there are things we can control and things we can’t. And though we must make great efforts to keep pushing the boundaries of our awareness and to improve our ability to rest in comfort in the present moment, how fast we develop isn’t up to us.

That same fifth grader who couldn’t wait to speak out answers now sees the value of meeting questions with a heart of patience.

1.Why did the author wave his hand around in class?

A. He wanted to entertain himself.

B. He tried to show his impatience.

C. He was making fun of his fellow students.

D. He wanted to give his fellow students a chance.

2.What’s the purpose of the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment?

A. To test children’s concentration levels.

B. To test whether children have sweet teeth.

C. To test patience and its potential advantages.

D. To test the bond between patience and desire.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “gratification” in Para. 3?

A. Progress.　　 B. Patience.

C. Assistance.　　 D. Satisfaction.

4.What is the main reason for people to have patience according to the text?

A. Constant changes.　　 B. Present reality.

C. An absence of self-control.　　 D. A strong desire for consequences.
