Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
"Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary. I prayed to be a balloon.
1.When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father, her mother _________.

When I was six years old, my mom told me that I could find anyone's number in the phone book. I used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan's phone number. When I couldn't find it, I just dialed seven numbers. When someone answered, I'd ask, "Is that Michael Jordan?" Obviously, I always had the wrong number.
A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center. It was very big. I never thought in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building. The recreation center had a special smell in it, sort of like hot rubber. I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard. The atmosphere on the court was carefree. Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually made a shot. We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant.
I got good at it, and my confidence grew. I played it all the time until the sixth grade. As soon as junior high school came, I stopped playing basketball and focused on school. When senior high school started, I tried out for the school team and made it. We worked hard. Every week we did 300 push-ups and 300 sit-ups on our own. Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power, because it gave us so much control when we were playing basketball. If we didn't want to do the sit-ups and push-ups, we could practice dribbling () and shooting more. It's just us, the ball, the court and the net. But don't take my word for it. See for yourself. After all, I'm just one kid playing the game.
1.From Paragraph 1 we know that ____.
A. the author's mother gave him some wrong phone numbers
B. the phone book contained everyone's phone number except Michael Jordan's
C. the author wanted to contact Michael Jordan very much
D. the author didn't know how to use a phone at that time
2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The days of the author playing basketball at a recreation center.
B. The author's excitement of making shots when playing basketball.
C. The days before the author went to senior high school.
D. The author's happy childhood with his teammates.
3.What surprised the author most at the recreation center?
A. That it was very near to his home.
B. That there was a basketball court inside the building.
C. That there was a special smell in it.
D. That there was a fast food restaurant in it.
4.The author's coach encouraged them to do sit-ups because ____.
A. it is the basic preparation to play basketball
B. it is more useful than dribbling and shooting
C. it is the only way to make people stronger
D. it helps keep stomach power
5.What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce some skills in playing basketball.
B. To tell us about his dream of becoming a basketball star.
C. To introduce his own experience of playing basketball.
D. To tell us how to balance playing basketball and studying.

Philip was a nine-year-old boy in a Sunday school class of 8-year-old girls and boys. Sometimes the third graders didn’t welcome Philip into their group and usually tricked him. This was not because he was older, but because he was “different”. You see, Philip suffered from a condition called Downs’s Syndrome. This made him “different”, with his facial characteristics, slow responses and mental problems.
One Sunday after Easter, the Sunday school teacher gathered some plastic eggs that pulled apart in the middle. The teacher gave one to each child. On that beautiful spring day, the children were to go out and discover for themselves some symbol of “new life” and place it inside the plastic eggs.
After the children returned to the classroom, the teacher opened their eggs one by one, asking each child to explain that symbol of “new life”. The first opened egg contained a flower. Everyone cheered. In another was a butterfly…. When the teacher opened the last egg, it was empty. “That’s stupid,” said someone. The teacher felt a pull at his shirt. It was Philip. Looking up, Philip said, “It’s mine. I did it. It’s empty. I have new life, because the tomb is empty.” Not a sound was heard in class at all. From that day on, Philip became a real part of the group. They welcomed him, and whatever made him different was never mentioned again.
1.The underlined word “condition” in the first paragraph probably means ________.
A．grade B．status C．health D．disease
2.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________.
A．The 8-year-olds were sometimes cruel
B．The 8-year-olds were friendly to Philip
C．Philip was really different in school

3.The teacher gave each child one plastic egg to let them ________.
A．play around on that beautiful spring day

C．try to pull it apart in the middle
D．go out and discover themselves
4.After Philip explained his new life, ________.
A．The class thought he was clever. B．The class fell silent.
C．He began to study in the class. D．He felt dying.
5.We learn from the passage that ________.
A．The teacher used to have classes outdoors

C．Philip was healthy as a whole
D．Philip was accepted by his classmates in the end

I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.
In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.
In New Jersey, an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.
Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved anywhere else.
1.Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?
A．Because they were born there. B．Because it was a better educational town.
C．Because the writer began his fifth grade. D．Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.
2.How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?
A．About 80. B．About 160. C．About 220. D．About 300.
3.What does the underlined expression “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?
A．None of. B．The whole of C．A large number of D．A small number of
4.Why can’t the writer forget Edison?
A．Because he regards it as his hometown. B．Because his parents got new jobs there.
C．Because there are many Asians there. D．Because it is in the state of New Jersey.
