Last year was the first year when I taught the fifth grade. Recently, I’ve been 1 by a “graduated ”student for the first time. I was really surprised when he walked into my home.
He hasn’t physically changed much since2my class last year and if I had had to guess who would come to visit me first. I wouldn’t have thought of him. Carlos was a student who had a hard time sitting 3 in the beginning of last year. He would often 4to go to the bathroom, and he’d talk or look like he was falling asleep because of little sleep. He often needed 5 in doing anything that other students could do well on their own.
I found out that the reason for his behavior in my classroom was that he had been6nightmares(噩梦)about his border-crossing experience. He was7that the immigration office would take him or his parents to prison or back to their 8. And here he was in my class trying to learn a(n)9language, which he had never touched before.
When he was in my class, one thing that stood out was that he had a(n) 10time speaking English. But when he walked in my room yesterday, all of that was missing. In walked a calm, 11 boy who spoke and understood English far better than when he left me in June. He even 12to speak to my class in the sixth grade in English. He told me he remembered doing sign language and the video I made to help him13his English.

When I was in the fifth grade and Mr. Gardner asked a question, my hand would often shoot up in enthusiasm. After giving me a few opportunities, he would try to give other students a chance. My hand, though, would remain in the air, and after some time, I’d start waving it around. Then, there was the time I entered drumming classes. But all we were allowed to do in the first class was practice one beat over and over again. I never went back.
I would have done terribly in the Stanford Marshmallow(果浆软糖) Experiment. In this classic study, researchers gave children a choice between one marshmallow right away and two later. The results showed that those who could wait 15 minutes ended up scoring 210 points higher on the SAT, an examination that American high school students take before they go to college.
So clearly, delaying(延迟的) gratification or bearing up under pain have their benefits. It needs patience, which keeps us from being stuck to ideas formed previously, and helps us let go of our strong desire for consequences. We come to accept that we don’t always or immediately know what is best, and learn to recognize that our reality is in constant changes. Patience improves our understanding of deeper truths and helps us expand our views.
The journey of patience is rooted in knowing that our present reality will finally give way to changes. But changes won’t always happen when we think they should, and patience with ourselves comes from accepting that there are things we can control and things we can’t. And though we must make great efforts to keep pushing the boundaries of our awareness and to improve our ability to rest in comfort in the present moment, how fast we develop isn’t up to us.
That same fifth grader who couldn’t wait to speak out answers now sees the value of meeting questions with a heart of patience.
1.Why did the author wave his hand around in class?
A. He wanted to entertain himself.
B. He tried to show his impatience.
C. He was making fun of his fellow students.
D. He wanted to give his fellow students a chance.
2.What’s the purpose of the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment?
A. To test children’s concentration levels.
B. To test whether children have sweet teeth.
C. To test patience and its potential advantages.
D. To test the bond between patience and desire.
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “gratification” in Para. 3?
A. Progress. B. Patience.
C. Assistance. D. Satisfaction.
4.What is the main reason for people to have patience according to the text?
A. Constant changes. B. Present reality.
C. An absence of self-control. D. A strong desire for consequences.

I remember clearly the last time I cried. I was twelve years old, in the seventh grade, and I had tried out for the junior high school basketball team. I walked into the gym. There was a piece of paper on the wall.
It was a cut list. The boys whose names were on the list were welcome to keep on practicing. The boys whose names were not on the list had been cut. Their presence was no longer desired.
I had not known the cut was coming that day. I stood and stared at the list. The list had not been made with a great deal of consideration. The names of the best players were at the top, and the other members of the team were listed in what appeared to be a descending (下降的) order of basketball skills. I kept looking at the bottom of the list, hoping that my name would appear if I looked hard enough.
I held myself together as I walked out, bat when I got home I began to cry. For the first time in my life, I had been told officially that I wasn't good enough. Sports meant everything to boys of that age. If you were on the team, it put you in the desirable group. If you were not, you might as well not be alive.
All these years later, I remember it as if 1 were still standing right there in the gym. I don't know how the mind works in matters like this. I don't know what went on in my head following that day of cut. But I know that my determination has been so strong ever since then. I have known that for all my life since that day. I have done more work than I had to be doing and pat in more hours than I had to be spending, I don't know if all of that came from a determination never to allow myself to be cut again—never to allow someone to tell me that I'm not good enough again—but I know it is there. And clearly it's there in a lot of other successful men too.
1.From the text we learn that the cut list had names of pupils __________.
A.who were cut out B.who were still on the team
C.who were the old players D.who were not good enough
2.Why did the author react so strongly to the cut?
A.It hurt his pride deeply. B.It was open to the public.
C.It listed his name at the bottom. D.It forced him to change the team.
3.We can infer from the text that the author __________.
A.has made friends with many other men
B.has never learned the truth of the cut
C.has become quite successful in life
D.has learned to play basketball very well

I remember the first time that I was extremely happy, I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself a limitless number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn’t even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.
I’ve noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth and achievements.
Success , wealth or achievements can also bring some people happiness , yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy . I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing .I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys , such as cars , computers ,and televisions ,yet never seem content for too long .Please remember , happiness is the journey of life , not the destination.
1.What can we know from Paragraph 1?
A. The author has a great talent for algebra.
B. Creative thinking is necessary for every child.
C. The BASIC code of the computer is not difficult.
D. The author’s experience in his childhood changed his life.
2.The author wants to tell us through the first paragraph that___________.
A. interest is the best teacher
B. children are the hope of the future
C. young people are fearless
D. where there’s a will , there’s a way
3.What is the secret of happiness in the author’s opinion?
A. Success and wealth.
B. Gifts and self-confidence.
C. Enthusiasm and good health.
D. Knowledge and achievements.
4.We can infer from the last paragraph that ___________.
A. rich people generally feel unhappy
B. wealth can’t bring people any happiness
C. one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things he wants
D. being enthusiastic about what you are doing is more important than wealth

It was my first day back home since starting college. A lot had changed in the last year. Not with my hometown but with me. I had left as a 17-year-old boy and had now returned as an 18-year-old man. In the city, I was living on my own, had a part-time job and was studying. Even the government recognized I was an adult: I had a driver’s license. So here I was, on my summer vacation, walking down the main street with my father, desperate for him to acknowledge how mature I was. When his recognition failed to appear, I took matters into my own hands. “Dad,” I said casually, “I’m thirsty. Let’s go for a beer.” It was the first time I’d ever mentioned beer in front of my father, let alone ask him to drink one with me.
He turned to me with a curious expression on his face. “A beer ? Well I guess you’re old enough now. Let’s go to Sailors’ Bar. It’s where my cousin Tom, your uncle, used to drink. You remember him, right?”
I had only some vague(模糊的) memories of my uncle. He was the black sheep of the family. We didn’t talk about him much. “What ever happened to Uncle Tom, Dad? I haven’t seen him in years,” I said as we continued towards the bar.
“Neither have I, unfortunately. He was a good kid once. But things changed,” my father said sadly. As a boy, he explained, there had been no better-behaved boy than Tom. But after leaving school, he moved to the city and fell in with bad company. He started going out every night, drinking in nightclubs and playing cards. Soon he lost everything and had to beg his mum to pay his debts. She agreed on the condition he returned home.
My dad took a deep breath and continued his tale. “Things settled down for a while. He married a lovely woman, gave up his bad habits. But it didn’t last. He was soon back to his old ways. He couldn’t resist. He was at Sailors’ Bar almost every night. His poor mother died of grief and shame. His wife followed her soon after.
“What ruined him was alcohol. He told me once, when a man begins drinking, he never knows where it’ll end. ‘So’, Tom warned me, ‘beware of your first drink!’
“He went from bad to worse. Last year Tom sent me a letter saying he had been found guilty of stealing, and sent to prison for ten years.”
Dad finished talking just as we reached the front of Sailors’ Bar. “Anyway, here we are. Let’s go in,” he said. But I understood. I put my arm around my father and said, “I’m not thirsty any more, Dad. Let’s go home.”
1.Why did the young man invite his father to drink a beer?
A. Because he was thirsty.
B. Because he wanted to show he was an adult.
C. Because he wanted to impress his father casually.
D. Because he wanted to discuss his Uncle Tom.
2.What does the young man mean by referring to Uncle Tom as “the black sheep of the family”?
A. The family was concerned about Tom because he was always in trouble.
B. The family showed sympathy to Tom because he was unfortunate.
C. The family felt ashamed of Tom because he was a failure.
D. The family felt disgusted about him because he was different.
3.What was the main source of Uncle Tom’s problems?
A. His overly-strict family.
B. His addiction to card games.
C. The deaths of his mother and wife.
D. His inability to control his drinking.
4.In the story, the father told his son about Tom in order to ________.
A. entertain the son while they walked to the bar
B. convince the son of the harm caused by drinking
C. recall an interesting period in the father’s life
D. warn the son to keep away from Tom
