One Sunday morning in June my mother walked into my room. "Surprise!" she said, proudly holding up a yellow dress with black and white stripes. "I made it just for you. What do you think?"

I bit my tongue. How could I tell Mum it was the ugliest dress I had ever seen?

"It's perfect for church," my mother continued delightedly. "I wish someone had made a dress like this for me."

Too bad you can't wear it, I thought. But I knew Mum had spent a lot of time on the dress. Only the world's most ungrateful daughter would refuse. Unwillingly I put it on.

All through church I prayed, "Lord, let me get out of here without anyone seeing me." Especially Dennis Pearce, the boy I had a crush on. He was one of the cutest boys at Neptune High School. Although we were in some of the same classes, Dennis had never taken any notice of me. Every time I got near him, I became tongue﹣tied.

At the end of the service I hurried to the door. But I had to wait on the steps while my parents chatted with their friends. Just a little while longer… Then out of the corner of my eye I saw the Pearce approaching. Before I could escape, Dennis was right beside me.

I started talking a mile a minute, hoping if I kept it up he wouldn't notice my awful dress.

"I'm going to college in September," I said.

"That's great," Dennis replied, "I got accepted to police academy."

"Wow!" I said. Somehow I kept the conversation going. Soon we were walking to the parking lot together. The next thing I knew Dennis had asked me out on a date!

We fell in love through college, and finally got married. Months after our wedding I asked Dennis if he remembered the day he had first asked me out.

"You bet I do," he said. "You were always quiet in school, almost coldhearted. I didn't think you'd be much fun. But you were so lively when we talked on the church steps, I wanted to get to know you better." Maybe that zebra﹣striped yellow dress wasn't what I would have chosen, but that day it was the perfect dress for me.

1.What did the writer think of the dress?

A.It had special colors. B.It looked really awful.

C.Its style was boring. D.It was right for church. .

2.How did the writer probably feel when she was at church?

A.Proud. B.Angry. C.Nervous. D.Happy.

3.The writer kept up the conversation with Dennis in order to ________.

A.catch his parents' attention B.ask him out on a date

C.stop him noticing her dress D.get to know him better.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A.A perfect dress. B.An excellent mother.

C.A creative date. D.An unforgettable service.

Once upon a time a little leaf was heard to cry, as leaves often did when a gentle wind passed by. The twig (小枝) asked, "What's the matter, little leaf?" The leaf said, "The wind just told me that one day it will pull me off!" When the tree heard this, it swung all over and promised the leaf, "You will not go till you want to."

The sunny days of the autumn came. The little leaf saw all the leaves around becoming very beautiful. Some were yellow, some were red, and some were in both colors. The little leaf asked the tree what it meant. The tree said, "All these leaves are ready to fly away, and they have put on these beautiful colors because of joy."

The little leaf wanted to go, and grew very beautiful in thinking of it. When it was very bright in color, it saw the branches (树枝) of the tree had no color in them. The leaf asked, "Branches, why are you brown?" "We must keep our working clothes on. Your clothes are for holiday, because your tasks are over," said a branch.

Just then a little puff of wind came, took the leaf up and turned it over and over. The little leaf was like the fire in the air, and fell down silently among hundreds of other leaves. It began to dream — a dream so beautiful that perhaps it would last forever.

1.The tree wanted to ________ the little leaf at first.
