When I was a little child, my parents divorced, making my mother a single parent. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”

At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to do it badly enough. She sent that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!

When the Great Depression (大萧条) happened, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the family. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.

My real change took place on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was angry that the second-class hotel charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the common American family. I decided to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children.

Not surprisingly, mother was one of my strongest supporters. We experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my mind, I strongly believed we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.

You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.

1.When Kemmons was a little child, what his mother usually told him was _____.

A.funny. B.sad.

C.worrying. D.encouraging.

2.In the writer’s view, who made Kemmons walk back to school again?

A.Mother. B.Teachers.

C.Friends. D.Classmates.

3.According to the passage, what made Kemmons start a motel by himself?

A.His successful business. B.His terrible experience in the hotel.

C.His mom’s support. D.His wife’s advice.

4.In your opinion, which of the following best describes Kemmons’ mother?

A.Honest and hard-working. B.Careful and beautiful.

C.Loving and supportive D.Strict and helpful.

I grew up in a middle-class household in Australia. In terms of safety and standard of living，a comfortable lifestyle is all I ever knew，and as a result，I was not aware just how lucky I was.

It was a Monday，and a teacher told us about an oversea mission trip to Cambodia. I had never been overseas before，and I knew absolutely nothing about Cambodia，but something inside of me knew l needed to go on this trip.

I spent the next few months working on S7. 25 hourly wage at an awful fast food chain，saving every penny I earned. Just days before the trip was set to depart，I managed to hit my target.

I will never forget the moment I nervously stepped off the plane in Cambodia. I vividly recall the sight of malnourished （营养不良）children begging for money tearing at my heart. I saw what true poverty looked like as we went to hand food packages out at a massive garbage dump in the city，home to thousands of families，many of whom were forced to seek for food among the rubbish.

On the following days，I played with children who，despite living in hard conditions, were overflowing with joy and happiness. I met families who，despite having nothing，were some of the kindest people I'd ever met. For the first time，my eyes were opened to the reality that happiness is not defined by money. People here were rich in relationships and community，and shared with each other the little that they had.

Through the trip，I began to see the value of learning from people of other races，cultures and religions. I finally saw that there was a much bigger world outside of my little one，and experienced first-hand the beauty of human diversity.

1.How did the author react when hearing about the overseas mission trip?

A.she considered it a little bit risky.

B.She really looked forward to taking it.

C.She hesitated in the first place.

D.She imagined a lot about Cambodia.

2.How did the author feel when she saw the children at first?

A.Upset B.Bored

C.Moved D.Inspired

3.What did the author think of the locals after getting along with them?

A.They considered wealth very important.

B.They were poor but had their simple pleasure

C.They struggled very hard to become rich.

D.They were really bad at building relationships.

4.What was the biggest benefit the author got from the trip?

A.She got some work experience.

B.She learnt to be independent.

C.She made friends with some locals.

D.She learned about the outside world.

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved reading crime and detective novels, so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older. However, my family is very big on having a traditional career and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing, my parents told me that I couldn’t. They told me that I had to study for a degree so that I would achieve a career, and not something as risky as writing. I suppose I could have studied journalism, but I didn’t want to lose interest in writing because it would be something I would do every day for work, not for pleasure. I thought that teaching looked like a pretty good compromise, especially because of the long holidays. It was a good choice: by the time I was twenty-five, I’d already finished two novels and had an agent.

To be honest, I never meant to keep my being a crime writer a secret or anything, and my friends have always known. One of the reasons most people don’t know is because my agent told me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance novelist for older women. She suggested Brooke Lane and I thought, “Well, if you think it’ll make me successful, okay,” I’d totally forgotten about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel. I asked her some questions about it, and it was so clear that she had no idea that I’d written it—she even offered to lend it to me after she’d finished! Of course, sometimes I wonder what my students would think if they knew that their teacher was going home on the weekend to write about murders and dead bodies, but I think my parents probably did me a favor: my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world.

1.Hazel is probably 　　 .

A.a teacher and writer B.a journalist

C.a teacher and artist D.an agent

2.The underlined words “is very big on” in the passage most probably mean 　　 .

A.to give no advice B.to misunderstand something

C.to have more experiences D.to like something very much

3.From the passage we can know that Hazel 　 .

A.told her workmates about her writing novels B.would like to write something for teaching

C.accepted Brooke Lane as her pen name D.agreed to study journalism for a degree

4.Hazel finally realized that her parents’ advice on her career was 　　 .

A.helpful B.exciting C.disappointing D.risky

Mom noticed that something was wrong when I started getting so thirsty. I’d have a lot to drink before bed, which was unusual for me. One time, I opened a big container of apple juice and kept refilling my glass. Before I knew it, I’d drunk the entire container! My mom called my doctor. I then had a few blood tests, and the results were certain — I had diabetes (糖尿病), which meant that the amount of sugar in my blood was very high. That can be dangerous, so I had to learn how to control my blood-sugar level.

My eating habits had to change in a big way. With diabetes, I can’t eat a lot of sugar or carbohydrates (碳水化合物). I have to figure out exactly how much sugar I plan to eat, and then I get an injection of insulin (注射胰岛素) before the meal to help my body process the food. Also, I test my blood-sugar level often. I’m always trying to keep my blood-sugar at a healthy level. The level can drop when I exercise, but that doesn’t keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court — I just keep some juice boxes around to boost my blood-sugar if I need to.

It’s a lot of work and not a lot of fun — to keep track of everything, but I’ve gotten used to my new habits. I was a little scared at first because I wasn’t sure how my life would change. Once I knew what I needed to do, though, it wasn’t a big deal. My life is different now from what it was before, but it has become completely regular to me.

1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A.How the author was found to have diabetes.

B.The author’s life before having diabetes.

C.Who found the author had diabetes.

D.The author’s eating habits before having diabetes.

2.What did the author do after knowing she had diabetes?

A.She stopped playing basketball in the gym.

B.She controlled her blood-sugar level strictly.

C.She stopped eating food with natural sugar.

D.She tested her blood-sugar level before every meal.

3.What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Absorb. B.Control. C.Increase. D.Test.

4.What’s the author’s attitude toward her having diabetes now?

A.Worried. B.Frightened. C.Pessimistic. D.Positive.
