In my memory, playing the shuttlecock( B! f)game was one of my favorite things during my childhood. My hometown is in northeast China where the winter is very long-almost five to six months. Playing the shuttlecock outside was the main game in winter. Because I liked to play this kind of game very much, the shuttlecock became my good friend who was always around me in the long winter.
How the game was played
Actually, this game was very simple. In a word, it just was played by a person who kicked the shuttlecock with his or her foot (right foot or left foot)and kept it from dropping down on the ground as long as possible
Sometimes we were divided into two teams, and each team had one, two or more persons. Then we had a match to see which team could keep playing for a long time(usually we counted the number of the kicks). The team that could keep playing much longer would win.
How I made the shuttlecocks
It was easy to make them by hand. At that time, I really didn't know where I could buy a shuttlecock. Therefore, I always made them by hand and by myself(I didn't realize that they might be a kind of folk art, so I threw all of them away when I left the primary school)I used chicken feathers to make the shuttlecock. Particularly, I preferred to use rooster feathers because of their colors. Sometimes, I also used some thread, which was made of hemp, flax, or some similar things to make the shuttlecock, if I didn’t find chicken feathers.
For the small metal base, I usually chose two or three ancient Chinese coins with a hole in the middle. I just put the chicken feathers into the hole of the base, and then tied them together very well.
1.What can we know about the writer?
A. It is warm in her hometown in winter
B. She only played the shuttlecock in winter
C. The shuttlecock was one of her favorite games
D. With the shuttlecock. she needed no other friends
2.Why did the writer make shuttlecocks by herself?
A. She had no extra money
B. Nobody sold shuttlecocks
C. Shuttlecocks were easy to make but hard to buy
D. Shuttlecocks made by hand were considered a kind of folk art.
3.To the writer, the best material for making a shuttlecock was____
A. new coins B. bird feathers C. some thread D. rooster feathers
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Shuttlecocks made of feather
B. How to play shuttlecocks
C. My shuttlecocks
D. My childhood

What was your favorite sport during your childhood? Maybe running around the playground or jumping rope for hours would bring you pleasure. At that time you weren’t thinking of health, you were just thinking of entertainment(娱乐). But in this age of high-tech home equipment, the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten. I think rediscovering it probably will give you a total-body exercise.
Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumping rope has never been widely accepted because of two reasons. First, most people consider jumping rope to be an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes in order to achieve a beneficial physical effect. Second, many people regard it as a little boring and overly repetitive —not as something fun or enjoyable.
As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun as long as you find proper ways to practice it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce(跳) over and over again, players good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce, a double –bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping .
Nowadays researchers are discovering that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres（半球）to perform equally to each other . In a word, jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life.
1.One reason that can explain why rope jumping has not spread widely is that_____.
A. it is believed to be boring and repetitive
B. it is too difficult for people to learn to jump
C. it benefits the cardiovascular system
D. it requires little equipment, time and space
2.The first sentence in Paragraph 3 implies that in rope jumping .
A. there is only one proper way to follow
B. the usual way should not be used again
C. the easiest way is always the best one
D. there are different kinds of ways to follow
3.According to the researchers, jumping rope .
A. only prepares the brain for learning
B. is suitable for students only
C. helps both brain hemispheres work together
D. can be dangerous for old people
4.What is the author’s attitude towards rope jumping?
A. He strongly argues against it.
B. He is sitting on the fence of it .
C. He is for it.
D. He knows little about it .

One spring, when I was 10, during one of my father’s layoffs (失业), I could tell my mother was unhappy. I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother’s Day gift.
One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins, which, I learned years later, was known for its high-end fashions (时尚) and styles. I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins, telling her I was looking for a Mother’s Day present.
“Do you think she’d like a purse?” she asked. I told her. I thought she might.
She took out an Italian handbag made of leather. She asked me what I thought, and I told her that my mom would like it.
“How much money do you have?” she asked.
“Twelve dollars,” I said.
“You’re in luck,” she told me. “It’s only $11. You have a dollar left over for the card.” She gift-wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business, and I rode off home with the package under my arm.
When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning, she asked in an accusing tone, “Where did you get this?”
“I bought it at the Agins. It cost me $11.” I said.
My mother was shocked into silence.
It wasn’t until many years later, when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars, that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me. I always felt bad that I never had a chance to properly thank her.
“You know, my son, what really amazes me to this day,” my mother said, “Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough. But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I’ll never forget.”

All of my childhood and early, adult life, my mom weighed over 220 pounds (one pound = 0.454 kilograms). I could feel the pain that my mom experienced with her fatness.
I was never uncomfortable about my mother, but I think she was uncomfortable about herself, and that feeling was painful for all of us. And she began to lose weight.
After more than twenty years of battling obesity（肥胖）, my mother completed a forceful eighteen-month diet that left her ninety pounds lighter than before. A new woman was born! At age twenty-eight, I got a new mom! For the first time, I met the woman my mother truly was, the beautiful little lady under the fatness. It wasn’t so much her new body that was the surprise, but rather her new spirit.
To celebrate her new size and to devote herself to dancing again, my mother joined a “Mrs. Forty-Plus” competition, where she would have to model, give a speech and provide a dance performance. She told our family that she did not care if she won — she simply had always wanted to perform on stage.
She told each one of us, “I’m not doing it to win; I’m doing it to dance!”
The competition was exciting! I prayed(祈祷) that my mom would win, but while watching her on stage I was simply overjoyed just by her effort. To me, she had already won. She posed to perfection, her speech brought tears to everyone’s eyes, and her performance was wonderful.
That night, at age fifty-three, my mother was crowned (为......加冕) “Mrs. Forty-Plus”. She was the first person in our family to ever win such a title.
