At Mrs. Jennings’ handsome house, in London.

While waiting for dinner, Marianne Dashwood wrote a letter very quickly. Elinor Dashwood noticed a large “W” in the address. Marianne rang the bell to have someone post it immediately.

After dinner, there was a loud knock at the door. Marianne cried, “Oh, it’s Willoughby!” and seemed to throw herself into his arms when Colonel Brandon came in. She was so surprised that she immediately left the room.

Elinor made the tea for Colonel Brandon. He did not stay long.

The next morning, upon arriving at home after shopping, Marianne flew upstairs.

“No letter has been left here for me since we went out. How strange!” she said, in a low and disappointed voice.

About a week later, they saw Mr. Willoughby’s card on the table when they came in from morning’s drive. He had been there while the ladies were out.

“He will call again tomorrow,” said Elinor.

Marianne decided to stay behind the next morning, when the others went out. One look at her sister when they returned was enough to tell Elinor that Willoughby had not called.

Colonel Brandon came again to tea and had short private conversation with Elinor.

“Your sister’s engagement to Mr. Willoughby is very well known.”

“It cannot be well known,” returned Elinor, “for her own family does not know it.”

“I am sorry but I did not realize it was a secret. I came to ask, is everything decided? Is it possible to? Excuse me, Miss Dasnwood. I believe I have been wrong in saying so much.”

From these words Elinor was sure of something, yet she knew he could never be successful with her.

Over the next three or four days, Willoughby neither came nor wrote.

One evening at a party, Marianne suddenly saw Willoughby standing in deep conversation with a young woman, whose name was Grey, a rich lady.

“He is there! Oh! Why does he not look at me? Why can’t I speak to him?”

“Marianne,” said Elinor, “perhaps he hasn’t seen you yet.”

At last he came to them.

“Willoughby, what’s wrong? Did you not get my letters? Won’t you look at me?”

After a moment’s pause, he spoke. “I came by last Tuesday but unfortunately did not see you. My card was not lost, I hope.”

“Have you not received my notes?” cried Marianne. “Tell me, Willoughby; tell me, what’s the matter?”

Quiet and embarrassed, he said nothing more and turned quickly away to Miss Grey. Marianne, turning white and unable to stand, fell into her chair.

1.Before the party, Marianne badly desired　　　　 .

A.to write a letter to Willoughby B.to receive Willoughby's card

C.to be visited by Willoughby D.to be invited by Willoughby

2.The underlined word “something” in Para.14 refers to_______.

A.Marianne’s love for Brandon B.Brandon’s love for Marrianne

C.Willoughby’s love for Marianne D.the Dashwoods’ love for money

3.What do you know about Willoughby?

A.He didn’t call Marianne until the party to give her a surprise.

B.He was too shy to declare in public his deep love for Marianne.

C.He was already on the side of another woman with more money.

D.He felt disappointed that Brandon was between him and Marianne.

4.How do you find Marianne in the story?

A.More selfish than kind. B.More strong than weak.

C.More calm than impatient. D.More sensitive than sensible.

I am Ewald. I' m not someone who has many secrets, because I' m a terrible liar. But there is one huge secret that I kept for years-I failed my driving test. I had never failed a test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious, but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam, but getting behind the wheel was a different story.

But when October 30th rolled around, my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school, showing off the brand new license they'd gotten. Looking back on that special day, I can't remember if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test, pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds, and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasn't upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn't want to take the test on my birthday.

One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I've never experienced-but sill, I couldn't imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn't. It wasn't until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out. Yes, I had also failed.

Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience, without which one couldn't make a true man.

1.What can we learn about Ewald?

A.He relied heavily on his parents.

B.He was a slow learner of driving.

C.He was afraid of taking exams.

D.He was bored with telling lies.

2.Why did the instructor ask Ewald to pull over?

A.To give him a second chance.

B.To check his parking skills.

C.To put an end to his test.

D.To show him a better way of driving.

3.What made Ewald feel extremely worried after his first attempt?

A.Losing face before his classmates.

B.Missing his birthday celebration.

C.Making his parents disappointed.

D.Failing to get a driving license.

4.What did Ewald learn from his own experience?

A.Honesty is the best policy.

B.Truth stands the test of time.

C.Failure is a way to grow up.

D.Imperfection is another form of perfection.

Today I achieved a dream that was born in April this year.Before April I never swam,biked or ran.I played basketball sometimes,but I did little in the way of endurance(耐力）workouts. One day in April,however,this changed.I want to find a way to challenge myself.I decided I was going to train for the Chicago marathon and complete it in six months.

The day finally came.For the first 11 miles,everything was going great.I was pacing(调整节奏）myself correctly and there wasn't too much pain or tiredness building up in my legs. Shortly after mile 12,however,I started to feel some pain.Miles 12-17 became a mental battle as I tried to convince myself to get to the finish line without walking.

Miles 17-20 were getting hard.I had to consciously push myself to stay at the race pace I was aiming for.My ankles(脚踝）were starting to hurt and my legs were giving out.At around mile 21 I got a stomach ache.I thought I might have to stop and walk for a minute,but the determination side of my brain took over and said,"Stick to your goals and never give up!”

The last 3-4 miles of the marathon were like nothing I have experienced.At the aid station at mile 24 I walked for a few seconds and drank some water.Then I started running and slowly I got back up to speed and went on.The last mile stands as the single most difficult thing I have done physically and mentally.Every step I took,my brain was screaming at me to walk.but I wouldn't listen.

When I crossed the finish line I was so happy and excited that I began to cry.I will never forget this day and I encourage everyone to go after that big event you have been thinking about, because although it will be hard,there are few more rewarding feelings than the feeling I had today crossing the finish line at the Chicago Marathon.

I had just delivered a memorized speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.

The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.

Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.

I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give upon a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.

I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise. Through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.

1.How did the author feel after finishing his speech?

A.Excited B.Relaxed

C.Nervous D.Confident

2.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?

A.He was disappointed with his preparations.

B.He hurt his toes on the way to the library.

C.He got up late on the day of the contest.

D.He was bottom of his group.

3.What made the author decide to enter the second contest?

A.The warmth of the victory. B.The inspiration from Lincoln.

C.His eagerness for the prize money. D.His desire to show himself on the stage.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A.Learn to fail successfully B.Never mind others’ judgments

C.Lincoln—my hero D.Losing—an indescribable feeling

I was 16 when my father finally decided he would send me to wilderness camp for several months. He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had always managed to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.

The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively (冲动地), I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff (执法官) in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dad's closest advisor talking.

"John, he's your son and he's a kid, but he is dragging you down," I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. "If you can't make your son obey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?"

So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong sergeants (军士). I was determined not to be broken. I was who I was,

Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.

Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.

One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw happiness and love in his eyes.

"So what's it like being sheriff?." I asked on the ride home.

"I lost the race, Danny," he said.

"I'm sorry, Dad." I knew my behavior probably had a lot to do with the defeat.

Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. "As long as I don't ever lose you, I'm okay."

1.The author was finally sent to wilderness because _________.
