In high school I was very shy, content to hang around with my small group of friends and to concentrate on my courses. I was quickly labeled a "brain." I did so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect grades and enough college credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework.
But in early June of senior year, the principal called me into his office. He asked me to give a speech at graduation. I was surprised to look at him, my heart thumping. This was the reward for my hard work? I murmured something and fled the office, blaming myself for staying away from physics, a subject sure to have broken up my perfect record.
I finally agreed to a compromise. I would share the honor with five other students. I agreed to introduce my friend Judy, who would then give her own, full-length speech.
Graduation day soon arrived, I’d been practicing my speech for days, and I had it memorized. The first half hour of the ceremony passed in a blur, and then my moment came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the stage without falling down. I faced my classmates. My voice trembled a little, but mostly it was clear and strong. But within seconds, I was done and heading back to my seat. I accomplished something I’d never dreamed of — I spoke in front of hundreds of people.
Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to take part in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually break free of my shyness. I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation — or ever. But I’m glad I did. I no longer hesitate when I’m faced with the prospect of doing something I feared. I know it may very well turn out to be one of my shining moments.
1.Why was the writer called a "brain"?
A. She was the most intelligent student.
B. She was the head of her small group.
C. She was a bookworm all the time.
D. She did more coursework for good grades.
2.What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. She ruined her health by studying hard.
B. She got the reward as was expected.
C. She was grateful for giving a speech.
D. She wasn't good at physics at school.
3.How did the author feel at the beginning of the graduation speech?
A. Excited. B. Moved.
C. Scared. D. Embarrassed
4.What did the speech bring to the author at last?
A. She had nothing to fear in life,
B. She won enough college credits.
C. She got rid of her sense of shyness.
D. She desired to become a speaker.

My senior year of high school was a very hectic one, to say the least. If I wasn’t studying or worrying about my grades, I was working on after-class activities. It seemed as if my life had turned into one crazy cloud of confusion and I hoped to find some sort of direction.
Finally, I got a part-time job at the local coffee shop. I had thought it would be easy and, for the most part, stress-free. I pictured myself pouring coffee and becoming close friends with my customers.
What I hadn’t expected was the people with so many orders. There were moments when I was very angry simply because I couldn’t seem to please anyone. There was always too much sugar, too little ice, or not enough skim milk. However, I kept at it.
One day, one of my customers came in, depressed. Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He looked at me questioningly because he hadn’t ordered anything but the coffee. He opened the bag and saw his favorite doughnut (甜甜圈) I had given him. He smiled and thanked me before heading out into the rain.
The next evening, he came. Instead of ordering something, he handed me a single pink rose and a note.
“Thanks for being so sweet and thoughtful yesterday. It is so nice to meet someone who’s warm and unselfish. Please don’t change your ways because I truly believe that you will do better. Have a great day!”
As time went on, I did come across some customers really particular. But anytime I felt depressed, I thought of that man and his kindness. Then I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my throat and ask politely, “How can I help you?”
1.What does the underlined word “hectic” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Glad. B. Interesting.
C. Productive. D. Busy.
2.What can we know about the author’s part-time job?
A. It is easy and stress-free. B. It is quite busy and challenging.
C. It doesn’t need special skills. D. It gives the author a feeling of freshness.
3.The customer’s note ________.
A. showed his thanks to the author. B. offered suggestions to the author.
C. encouraged the author to work harder. D. gave an explanation of his condition.
4.What’s the message the author want to convey?
A. Kind words are worth much but cost little.
B. It is impossible to satisfy everyone in our life.
C. A small act of kindness can make a big difference.
D. Our attitude determines our suffering or our freedom.

For high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习). In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far between.
Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education.
In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.
But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized （批评）education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills.
Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school.
However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to 19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row. “The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,” said Michael, a researcher in the US.
1.What’s the main idea of the text?
A．The lack of career-based courses in US high schools.
B．Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.
C．Arguments about recent US education reform.
D．Advice for American high school leavers.
2.According to Robert Schwartz, _________.
A．there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the US
B．students should get contact with the working world at high school
C．education reform should focus on students’ performance in exams
D．teenagers in the US can’t miss out on the summer job experience
3.The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 6 most probably means __________.
A．creative B．interesting C．discouraging D．unbearable
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A．High school leavers with no practical skills can’t find a job at all.
B．Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a job.
C．US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.
D．Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.
