I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Hongkong. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt. Not having many chances to enjoy the sun in the UK, my legs were very white. In the UK, this is not a fashionable look at all. Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin is, the better the look is. I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!
As I walked around one shop, two shop girls didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time, talking quietly to each other in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I complained(抱怨) about the shop girls being very rude and always looking at my legs. I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin. My friend laughed, “they weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours. In fact, there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin white and a lot of money is spent on them."
It just goes to show that we are never happy with what we have. The grass is always greener on other side. If the woman of the west and east thought the same way, western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the east wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.
1.The writer had white legs because __________.
A.She spent so much money on her legs
B.She lived in a cold and cloudy country
C.She wanted them to be white
D.She didn’t like dark skin
2.What does the underlined (划线的) word in the first paragraph mean in Chinese?
A.时尚的 B.和谐的 C.好玩的 D.有气质的
3.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A.People are always happy with what they have.
B.The grass on both sides is green.
C.People in the west have the best skin.
D.People are always unhappy with what they have.

I'll always remember the day I went to my first dance class. My mother was an excellent ballet(芭蕾)dancer and I wanted nothing more than to follow her.
After class, my mom asked how I liked it. I thought of what had happened in the class: when I stood side by side with those experienced and confident girls, all my clumsy(笨拙的)movements made me want to cry. However, I still told my mom I couldn't wait to dance again.
Weeks passed and one day my dance teacher announced we were going to have a performance soon. Though I practiced as much as I could, I still saw no improvement in my ballet ability. I went to my mom and told her that dancing wasn't for me. My mom told me that she would show me all she knew about ballet. She quickly discovered how bad my dancing was, but she still taught me with the greatest patience.
By the time the performance arrived, I had been as prepared as I could be. My mom sat in the audience(观众),with worries in her eyes. I positioned myself and began moving to the music without missing a step. When the music stopped, a storm of applause broke out. I cried and I knew all my hard work had paid off.
After the performance, my mom hugged me and told me how proud she was. I looked her in the eye and told her there was no way this could have happened without her. I knew she would always be there to keep me going.
1.What was the writer's mother?
_______________________________________________________________________________
2.How did the writer feel after the performance ended?
_______________________________________________________________________________
3.Will you keep on learning something like the writer when you find you are not good at it?
Why or why not?

One day, a couple wanted to buy a tea cup. So they went into a shop. They saw a beautiful one there. They asked, "May we see that? We've never seen such a beautiful one." As the shopkeeper handed it to them, suddenly the tea cup spoke. "You don't understand." it said. "Once I was red and looked ugly. I was rolled and struck (捶打) over and over by my master. I shouted out, 'Let me alone.' But he only smiled, 'Not yet.' Then I was put on a wheel which was moving, and suddenly I was pushed to move around and around. 'Stop!' I cried. But my master only shook his head and said, 'Not yet.' Then he put me in the oven. I was fired at a very high heat. I wondered why he wanted to burn me, and I cried and knocked at the door. But he just shook his head."
"Finally, the door opened. He put me on the table, and I began to become cool. Then I was polished. After that, my master brushed and painted me all over. How terrible the smell was! I thought I would die. 'Stop!' I cried. He only shook his head, 'Not yet.' Then suddenly he put me into the second oven. This oven was twice as hot as the first one and I couldn't breathe at all. I begged (哀求). However, my master put me on the table again. 'Not yet.' I nearly lost hope. Just then, the door opened. He took me out and put me on the table again."
"One hour later he handed me a mirror and said, 'Look at yourself.' And I did so. I was surprised and said, 'That's not me. Why am I so beautiful?'I want you to remember,' my master said, 'without those paints, you would never be a perfect product.'"

When I was 5 years old, I went to the USA with my mom. I can still remember the first Halloween holiday I had in the USA.
On the morning of Halloween, we paid a visit to a pumpkin farm. Each of us brought a pumpkin to school with us. I used the pumpkin to make a lantern which had two triangle eyes and a scary mouth.
In the afternoon, we put on the Halloween costumes(服装) and went on parade in school. Some of the costumes were nice, but some of them looked scary. I chose to wear a suit of Superman’s clothes.
I did a lot of things that day, but my favorite part was “trick or treat” in the evening. After dinner, I went outside with an empty bag. I hoped to get a lot of candies from people. At first, I was a bit nervous, so when I knocked at the door, my heart was beating very fast. A lady came out, and I said carefully to her, “Trick or treat.” My voice was very low, and even myself could hardly hear it. To my surprise, the lady was so kind to give me two candy bars, and I was so excited, thanked the lady and moved on. I couldn’t remember how many houses I visited, but I could remember how many candies I got—I got 91 pieces of candy that day, and I was so proud of myself.
What a happy Halloween I had! And I wish we could have a Halloween every month!
