Being poor is a terrible feeling when your 3-year-old finishes his meal and says: “Can I have some more bread and jam （果酱） please, Mummy?” And you break down in tears, because you don’t know how to tell him that there is no more food.

When I was 12 years old, I was at a very hard stage in life. I was short and fat, which was bad for a girl, so coordination（协调）was not one of my strongest features. On the other hand, my mother was a very talented

softball player who even acted as my coach. Night after night, I would try my best to impress “my coach”.Unfortunately, I just felt like a terrible disappointment to my mother.

One summer afternoon, my mother told us we were going to visit Uncle David. Since we lived in an apartment, going to the country was quite a treat. My uncle David always had a way of making me feel special.

When we arrived, my uncle and cousin Jeff were throwing metal rings at two holes in the ground. I was curious about what they were doing so I went over to watch. Noticing that I was standing there, my uncle asked if I had ever played washers.

Being a “city girl”, my reply was that the only “washers” I knew were the ones that cleaned clothes. To my embarrassment, Uncle David, chuckling(咯咯笑)，explained that the metal rings were called washers. I was shocked to hear my uncle saying he wanted me to take his place. He then gave me the washers and gave tips on how to throw better.

Unwillingly, I joined Jeff. Gradually, I found myself not only enjoying but also wanting to win this game. The washer went into the air and began to fall. Then a cloud of dust appeared as the washer sank into the hole. My first try! I had actually thrown the washer into the hole!

Although 23 summers have gone by since that day, this small success in washer playing helped me get back self confidence lost when I struggled with the game of softball.

1.Why did the author live a hard life at the age of twelve?

A. Because her body has many health problems.

B. Because coordination was her strongest feature.

C. Because she was forced to learn to play softball.

D. Because her efforts at softball were disappointing.

2.When she was told that she could visit Uncle David, the author felt ________.

A. surprised　　 B. pleased

C. disappointed　　 D. nervous

3.It can NOT be learned from the passage that __________.

A. the author must be more confident now

B. the author’s mother was good at softball

C. the author had never met Uncle David before the visit

D. the author had never played washers before the visit

4.Which is the RIGHT time order of the changes in the author’s feelings when she was at her uncle’s?

A. Curious—Embarrassed—Shocked—Pleased

B. Shocked—Curious—Embarrassed—pleased

C. Pleased—Embarrassed—Curious—Shocked

D. Curious—Shocked—Pleased—Embarrassed

Madame Curie ,the youngest of five children ,was born in Warsaw ,Poland in 1867. Marie Curie's maiden name was Manya.

Manya went to join them in Paris ,changing her name to Marie. She entered the Sorbonne(now the Universities of Paris)and studied physics and mathematics, graduating at the top of her class.

One evening, at a big party,a friend asked if she would like to meet the King of Greece,who was also a guest.She answered in her simple manner, “I don't see the value of it.” Then,seeing that she had hurt the feelings of her friend, she quickly added, “But …but…of course,I shall do whatever you please.
