It was about six years ago.We were at senior high school.Those days in school were gray to most Chinese students because of the college entrance examination pressure.Not our parents and teachers didn't love us，but they loved us too much.Our only happiness was a high grade in the exam.
One afternoon after the final exam，we four girls came to a small wood and we felt it only belonging to us that afternoon.We talked and laughed.We played all the games that we could think of.We felt we were on the top of the world for the first time in our life.We totally forgot the unhappiness in our life and we threw the homework and the endless exams far away out of the wood.
In the middle of the wood ran a small and peaceful stream.Now and then，we could see some wild ducks on the water looking for food.The water weeds danced happily while the water passed beside them.The air was so fresh that we breathed it freely.
The sun had set before we knew it.We had to leave the place which brought us much happiness.We agreed to come back again every time we felt bored.
Years later，we went there several times.But，every time we went there to find that great feeling，we failed.Strangely，the feeling was different from that of several years ago.
I know that wonderful experience was just for once.We can never find that kind of happiness again which only belonged to the special afternoon in our life.That was a release of our uneasy heart.We can never go back to that young age or that simple life.It was our golden ages.No matter how boring and hard the life was，it gave us something worthy to recall.We'll treasure it forever.

About five years ago I started at a new school when my family moved to Iowa. I was just a little ex-cited, but I worried I would never fit in with the other sixth graders.
Lucy, a girl in my class, who I thought was not ready for change, didn’t like me from the start. In fact, I was pretty sure she hated me. I would ask her a question, and I could tell she thought I was a total fool.
My teacher made us sit by each other for the last term. Lucy was horrified (惊骇的). I didn’t wear make-up (化妆品), and I didn’t wear those terrible bell-bottom pants. I didn’t exactly look like the coolest girl. But, I kept smiling at her, though she rolled her eyes, and I kept telling her she looked beautiful, even when she was angry.
Finally, Lucy let me talk to her, even in sight of her “cool” friends. She started telling me how beautiful I looked. I still remember that first time when she smiled at me saying that, and I smiled right back, telling her thanks. Lucy invited me over to her house for a party, and talked to me all the time instead of her other friends. Lucy, the girl who hated me, called me her best friend. After that, we still were good friends a whole year later.
I may have moved to Arizona after that, but I will never forget Lucy. It’s funny — I still remember her birthday. She was a great friend. And to think, she considered me her enemy at first. Though it was hard, and it felt like I was wasting my time, and losing my dignity (尊严), I still smiled at Lucy when she made fun of me. I’m not stupid, I didn’t think she was right in doing those things, but I still put up with it. And we became great friends.
About two weeks ago, I read a sentence by Abraham Lincoln: “Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?” Immediately, I smiled, thinking of Lucy. That sentence just reminded me how great it was for me to change Lucy into my friend in that state of Iowa five years ago.

A. she looked stupid when asking questions

2.How did the author change Lucy’s attitude towards her?
A. By wearing make-up.
B. By keeping smiling at Lucy.
C. By wearing bell-bottom pants.
D. By sitting beside Lucy in class.
3.From Paragraph 5, we know the author thought _____.
A. it was right of her to suffer when making friends
B. it was a waste of time to make friends with Lucy
C. it was a shameful thing to put up with what Lucy did
D. it was foolish of her to smile at Lucy all the time
4. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Patience is important in making friends.
B. Friendship needs to be cared for.

It was about seven years ago. I just picked up my threeyearold daughter from the nursery. I was weighed down with shopping bags, and with my daughter’s things. We arrived at a pedestrian crossing and she pressed the button. In the distance, I heard alarms, told my daughter to wait and watched a police car approaching.
Little did I know, as the_green_man flashed, that my daughter had begun to run into the road. I watched the police car speed toward us—that’s when you sounded your horn and waved wildly to me. My daughter was about a meter from the path of the police car, hidden from their view by your car.
I screamed her name and ran toward her. She stopped and was shocked by the rush of the police car as it sped past. She wondered why you had blown your horn, asking, “Mom, why was that woman so rude？” not realizing you had saved her life.
She wondered why I picked her up and burst into tears. My legs gave way as I reached the other side of the road. I should have followed my “wait” with a hand on her shoulder, or an explanation of why we were ignoring the green man this time, especially as I had in effect conditioned her to cross the road at the sight of the green flash.
I beat myself up for months, and still do, with flashbacks and horrible assumptions about what might have been. But for your sounding your horn, seeing what I hadn’t seen, I would have been left a mother on the other side of the road, totally broken. I apologize for putting you in that position—I can imagine that it upset you, too. You saved her life and I am so grateful.
1.What does the underlined part “the green man” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.A pedestrian. B.A policeman.
C.A traffic sign. D.A button.
2.Why did the woman sound her horn?
A.To stop the police car.
B.To show her impatience.
C.To greet passing pedestrians.
D.To draw the mother’s attention.
3.What can we infer from the incident?
A.The mother didn’t regret what had happened.
B.The daughter didn’t follow the traffic rules.
C.The woman responded quickly and properly.
D.The police drove beyond the speed limit.
4.How did the mother feel when taking hold of her daughter?
A.Angry and shocked. B.Scared but relieved.
C.Guilty and confused. D.Grateful but sad.

Very early on in my senior year of high school, my parents carried the flame of worrying about my future college. I was willing to go to a 2-year college before going after my bachelor, s degree. This was for two reasons—to help them save money and to make sure I major in English. However, they insisted I attend a 4-year college right off the bat.
I was pushed to start searching for colleges therefore, ones that my parents approved of and that were within the range of tuition that my mom thought was acceptable. I was also limited to the immediate areas, which only included New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, so I cannot apply for any colleges in one of my favorite places—New Hampshire.
I’ll be honest. It got a bit tense at times with several different opinions between my parents and me, and with other family members or friends voicing their thoughts to my parents.
In the end, I ended up applying for three schools—SUNY Albany, SUNY New Paltz and Kutztown University in Pennsylvania. I had been to New Paltz quite often as it was only 45 minutes away from our home. And Kutztown is located in an area our family often visited.
I was accepted by all three, and I quickly gave up Albany. I was not impressed with the city and wasn’t familiar with the area. It was between New Paltz and Kutztown. After a few weeks, I ended up settling on New Paltz because Kutztown just didn’t “feel right” for me. When I was on campus, I had a feeling that this was it.
Looking back now, I wish I had known more about the application process and had a little more freedom of choice about which college I could apply for. I probably would still have attended SUNY New Paltz.
1.What did the author’s parents think he should do?
A.Choose a college that could provide good jobs.
B.Go to a community college to save money.
C.Choose a college that he liked best.
D.Go to a 4-year college directly.
2.Why didn’t the author choose colleges in New Hampshire?
A.He didnt like the place.
B.His situation didn’t allow it.
C.The living expenses there were too high.
D.He wasn’t sure whether or not he would fit in there.
3.How did the author feel about his final choice?
A.Embarrassed. B.Frightened.
C.Satisfied. D.Worried.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.How I chose my college B.How to apply for a college
C.Different choices, different future D.The meaning of attending college

Think for a moment about the teachers you’ve had at junior or senior high school. Which one did you like best? And why? Were the teachers you liked best also the ones who were the best teachers, in your opinion? 1.And then begin to read further.
Some very common answers to this question are that teachers need to love their students, that they need to have expert knowledge of their subjects and that they should devote themselves completely to their work. All of these ideas are, of course, true to a certain extent.2.
It’s impossible for anyone to love everyone he knows, and teachers deal with a very large number of students over the years. On the other hand, teachers should certainly be able to make their students feel that they’re interested in them as people. 3. A deep knowledge of the subject is especially important.4. That’s to say, a teacher needs to be trained in the skills of teaching. These skills include how to control a class. Finally, teachers have to devote a lot of time and energy to their work, of course. However, because they’re also models that their students must follow, it’s important that they should be well-balanced people with interests outside their school work—families, friends, hobbies, etc. 5.
A.They’re perhaps a little too simple.
B.Students ask too much from teachers.
C.Well- qualified teachers should be educated and capable.
D.Consider for a minute the qualities that make a teacher outstanding.
E.A teacher who only lives for work is likely to become narrow-minded.
F.Equally important is the ability to pass that knowledge on to the students effectively.
G.They also pay attention to the development of both their brains and their characters.
