A few years ago, when I was still in high school, I met a wonderful and warm teacher. At that time in my life, there were many changes to adjust to, apart from the usual teenage troubles. My parents had divorced, so my elder brother and I had chosen to stay with my dad. Due to the fact that he was keeping the house, we didn’t have to move.

During this time, my teacher took a special interest in me. Being my English teacher, she encouraged my mind to travel to creativity I had long given up. She brought me out of the shell I built.

She became my mother, my older sister, my friend and my teacher. The one thing she couldn’t do though was to make me more girly as growing up with only my dad and brother made me a real tomboy.

Sometimes, I would be really immature（不成熟的）, especially if she was scoring me less than others on purpose. She knew I could do better than what I was handing in and so pushed me to extend further than limits.

When I finished school and then after college I was about to leave my hometowns she gifted me a watch that every second, with my pulse, should remind me of the one person who will forever wait and love me without reservation.

Time has passed and our friendship is distant, but in my heart, soul and mind, she is the closest I ever got.

I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure. I remember when my mum 36  me up that morning, her voice wasn’t as 37  as it usually was.

I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was 38  to leave its warmth and comfort, and didn’t want to face the problem that I’d let myself 39  for the past six months. Finally, I dragged myself out of 40 .

I finished getting ready and tried to 41 . It didn’t work, so I decided that my 42  should go with me. We had a little time, so I thought we could practice parking. I 43 , with the wheel hitting the fence. After that, the little bit of confidence I’d had was 44 . I tried two more times, but didn’t 45  much. Then we headed to the test site.

I went into a room for some paperwork. And I waited for 20 minutes—just 46  time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my 47 . I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.

I stepped outside and the sky was the light blue I love. It offered me some 48  and I realized something: something between when I pulled myself off the seat and when I got outside. I had become 49  and confident.

The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite 50 . The confidence that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well too and I 51  it all. As I drove back, the instructor told me I would not be coming back for a second 52  next Thursday.

Back in the building I didn’t have to say a word. My mum knew just by looking at me. Her 53  made her face softer. And I’m sure it was at least as big as the smile on my face. Her eyes, 54 , looked kind of teary. I knew she was 55  for me.

A few days ago we ––– that’s me and the husband ––– took a cab to the station. Chat with the driver fell to the wrong of cyclists, and the misunderstanding of the road rules. So far as the rules of the road go, there seems to be one basic principle: when you are driving a car you hate bikes, when you are riding a bike you hate cars (and I guess walkers hate everyone).
　　 There is an obvious difference of viewpoint built in here. It wasn’t until I started to drive a car (almost 20 years after I had first ridden a bike) that I actually realized that you could not see a cyclist at night without lights. In fact I now want to shout at late night cyclists without lights (like motorists once did at me): “ You’ll get killed, sunshine, I can’t see you.”
　　 The problem is that cyclists do ride headlong into danger. It's not just not having lights. It’s biking on pavements (and so threatening to injure a load of innocent walkers in the process) and biking down one-way streets the wrong way.
　　 I admit that I do bike the wrong way down a one-way street sometimes. My feeble(软弱无力) defense is that I try always to do it as if I know I was doing wrong. That is slowly, with an apologetic look on the face, and ready to get off at any minute. I can’t bear the guys(一伙人) (usually, but not always it is guys) who do it as if they owned the place, and at high speed.
　　 So cyclists are not entirely innocent. But they are among the disadvantaged groups, because the bottom line is that a car or a lorry can kill a cyclist and not the other way around.

1. When did the writer realize the danger for late night cyclists without lights?

A. Not until she became a driver herself.

B. Not until she had driven a car for 20 years.

C. After she was shouted at by a motorist.

D. After she was once knocked down by a group of guys.

2.When the writer biked the wrong way down a one way street, she felt ________.

A. angry　　　　　　 B. guilty

C. innocent　　　　　　 D. proud

3.Which group is most likely to face danger according to the writer?

A. drivers　　　　　 B. passers-by

C. cyclists　　　　 D. motorists

4.What can we learn about the writer?

A. She often took a cab with her husband.

B. She has been a motorist for over 20 years.

C. She used to ride a bike without lights at night.

D. She often biked the wrong way down a one-way street.

Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.

If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let the other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.

Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.

If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance of information; means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.

When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.

This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.

Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel — listening is the key factor to communication.

1.In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is _______ than with children.

A. more difficult　　　 B. easier

C. more uninteresting　 D. more interesting

2.The main idea of the second paragraph is _______.

A. the importance of friendship

B. to make your feeling known to others

C. the importance of communication

D. the disagreement between generations

3.The example in this passage proves that _______.

A. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her

B. Sophie is very polite to her parents

C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late

D. communication is the solution to misunderstanding

4.All the following statements are correct except _______.

A. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know

B. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing

C. If you are not able to communicate, walk away

D. Communication is a two-way deal
