In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment
In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.
Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.
When Mrs. Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything,” I answered，and my face felt warm.
“Correct,” she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A. It is wise to value one’s time.
B. It is important to make an effort
C. It is right to stick to one’s belief.
D. It is enough to do the necessary.
2.Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to _______.
A. recite their homework together
B. grade their homework themselves
C. answer their homework questions orally
D. check the answers to their homework questions
3.The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______.
A. asked questions in a regular way
B. walked up and down when asking questions
C. chose two or three questions for the students
D. requested her students to finish their usual questions
4.The author failed to get the questions he had expected because _______.
A. the class didn’t begin as usual
B. several students didn’t come to school
C. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate
D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

B. A Future Mathematician
C. An Effective Approach
D. A Valuable Lesson

To Chinese immigrants, in the mid-1800s, California was “The Land of the Golden Mountain.” In their homeland they had heard the words, “There’s gold in California.” They sailed 7,000miles to join the gold rush and strike it rich．Between 1849 and 1882, more than 30,000 Chinese came to California．Most were men．They had been farmers in China．They came here to be miners and laborers．They ended up doing many other jobs, too.
Like many other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in America．They came because of their ties to their homeland and their families．They planned to return to China with their fortunes and help their families．
Only a few Chinese gold miners struck it rich．Most picked over the areas that had been mined already．But still, white miners resented the Chinese．Slowly, they drove the “yellow peril” from the mining camps．
By the end of the 1850s, many Chinese returned home．Those who stayed found other jobs.
Few women had come west in the gold rush．The Chinese saw a good business opportunity．They began doing the jobs women would have done．Many became house servants．Many more opened laundries.
The Chinese opened restaurants．Chop suey and show mein are popular Chinese-American dishes．The Chinese probably created these dishes to serve to the white miners.

The other day my aunt paid me a visit. She was overjoyed. “I got the highest mark in the mid-term examination!” She said. Don’t be surprised! My aunt is indeed a student, exactly, a college student at the age of 45.
“Compared with the late 70s,” she says, “now college students have many doors.” I was shocked when she first told me how she had had no choice in her major. Look at us today! So many doors are open to us! I believe there have never been such abundant opportunities for self-development as we have today. And my aunt told me that we should reach our goals by grasping all these opportunities.
The first door is the opportunity to study different subjects that interest us. My aunt was happy to study management, but she could also attend lectures on ancient Chinese poetry and on Shakespearean drama. As for myself, I am an English major, but I may also go to lectures on history.
The second door is the door to the outside world. Learning goes beyond classrooms and national boundaries. I have many fellow international classmates, and I am applying to an exchange program with a university abroad. As for my aunt, she is planning to get an MBA degree in the U.K.
The third door is the door to life-long learning. Many of my aunt’s contemporaries say she’s amazingly up-to-date for a middle-aged woman. She simply responds, “Age doesn’t matter. What matters is your attitude. I don’t think I’m too old to learn.” Yes, she is right. Since the government removed the age limit for college admissions, there are already some untraditional students, sitting with us in the same classrooms. Like them, my aunt is old but young in spirit with incredible energy and determination.
The doors open to us also pose challenges. For instance, we are faced with the challenge of a balanced learning, the challenge of preserving our fine tradition while learning from the West, and the challenge of learning continuously while carrying heavy responsibilities to our work and family. So, each door is a test of our courage, ability and judgment, but with the support of my teachers, parents, friends and my aunt, I believe I can meet the challenge head on.
1.Which of the following words can best replace the “door” in the passage?
A．challenge B．knowledge C．learning D．opportunity
2.What made the writher’s aunt overjoyed?
A．Having a chance to visit the writer
B．Having lots of choices in subjects
C．Getting the highest score in her exam
D．Getting admission to a university
3.Which of the following statements will the writer’s aunt agree with?
A．No pains, no gains.
B．Failure is the mother of success.
C．One is never too old to learn.
D．Rome isn’t built in a day.
4.The following word can be used to describe the writer’s aunt EXCEPT __________.
A．fashionable B．traditional C．energetic D．determined
5.Which chart shows the correct structure of the passage?
