During my childhood, I was looking forward to...

During my childhood, I was looking forward to growing up. When I began to learn math, I couldn't tell “6” from “9”. The two numbers looked the same to me. This was the beginning of my struggles(挣扎)in school. The teachers in the kindergarten(幼儿园) let students work out some math problems. But at that time, I still couldn't understand which one was “9” and which one was “6”. The teacher said, “You are a stupid kid.” My tears poured down like heavy rain on a summer night.

My parents were top students when they were young. So they had a high expectation for me. They said, “If you don't do well in school, you'll get a spanking(打屁股)．”

As time went by, I became a middle school student. Math was still a big problem. I was afraid to get bad grades and I often argued with my parents. I was very worried and tired out and I no longer wanted to grow up.

However, one day I realized that my painful times wouldn't stay with me for my whole life. My pain may be there for a moment, but it will leave after I learn how to deal with it. And all of these painful experiences well reward me, as long as I don't give up. What I need to do is making progress by trying and working as hard as I can.

A.Math. B.English. C.Painting. D.Life.

2.How did the writer feel after hearing his kindergarten teacher's words?

A.Because he often got a spanking.

B.Because he got bad grades at his subjects.

C.Because he often argued with his parents.

D.Because he was worried about grades and tired of arguments.

4.Which of the following is TRUE?

When I was a teenager growing up in Russia, I wanted to leave school and have my own life. The only way I could do this was to work in the local brick factory in my town, or get married.

He asked me, “What do you think of the factory?”

“It’s terrible,” I replied.

“And marriage is even worse!” he said.

Night after night, she came to help me sleep, even long after my childhood years.

I don't remember when it first started annoying me—my mom's hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt rough(粗糙的) against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, “Don't do that anymore, your hands are too rough！” She didn't say anything, but she never did it again.

Years later, I missed my mother's hands and her good－night kiss on my forehead. I'm not a little girl anymore. My mom is in her mid－70s, and her rough hands are still doing things for my family and me. She's like a doctor to us, always knowing how to calm a young girl's stomach ache. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world. Now my own children have grown up. It was late on Thanksgiving Eve. As I slept in my bedroom, a familiar hand ran across my face to push the hair from my head. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.

Taking my mom's hand, I told her how sorry I was for that night I shouted at her. But my mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten it long ago.

That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt(内疚) that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

A wise teacher once told me that every teenager needs to experience a not-so-fun first job from working at a grocery store to the fast food industry.

Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago. I wanted to save up money and buy my own car, so I looked for work everywhere I could that summer. The restaurant called me right away and I thought to myself, this is going to be easy. Within four hours of my first shift (轮班), I had angry customers who complained how slow I was. I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere, and I heard the words that no 16-year-old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hear: "Mike, there's a problem in the men's bathroom and you might want gloves for this one." I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic. The manager expected a clean environment and fast service with a friendly smile.

Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations. I love my co-workers there and all the customers know who I am. Every morning the same senior citizens come in and get their morning coffees. They chat with us workers and joke around. Our smiles have just as much to do with them making us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee does.

From my first job at the restaurant, I learned teamwork and devotion. I also learned staying positive no matter how rough things seem to get. I will forever carry the experience that I gained at the restaurant with me as I go forward in my life.

1.When did the author first work at a fast food restaurant?

____________________

2.Why did the author look for work everywhere that summer?

____________________

3.How old was the author when he first worked at the restaurant?

____________________

4.What did the manager expect besides a clean environment?

____________________

5.What did the author learn from his first job?
