I’ll never forget driving away from my villag...

I’ll never forget driving away from my village in war-torn Vietnam. I was five and my mum, Can, told me and my brother Tam we were going on holiday, but as she hugged us goodbye, she began to sob so much her whole body was shaking. I gripped my little brother’s hand as I watched the tiny village grow smaller in the rear view window. Like many Vietnamese children, we were adopted by an Australian family.

It was a scary, lonely and confusing time, and I missed my birth family horribly. “When am I going home?” I’d ask again and again in Vietnamese, but no one would answer me because they didn’t understand. I’d ask about my birth mother so often that my new parents told me she had died. I cried myself to sleep every night until I was eight or nine. My adoptive family were dysfunctional and home life was tough.

At 15, my adoptive mother died. After that, I was going through my adoptive father’s filing cabinet (橱柜) and I found an old letter, with a Vietnamese postmark. I felt delighted as I realized it was from my birth mum. Straight away, I wrote a long letter to the address she had given, explaining who I was and asking if Can was alive.

Soon after, I got a simple fax back, saying, “Mother still alive, very happy to hear from you.” My heart soared as I read her words. For the next few years, I exchanged letters with her and was thrilled to finally have contact with her. I was so grateful for that.

I never knew how amazing it would feel to help a family 4,560 miles away from my home. I never knew how great an effect I could have on that single family.

From the moment I walked into French class, I knew almost instantly that I belonged there. My teacher, Madame Weiser, is a kind and caring woman, and is the person who started the interest within me to help a family abroad, no matter how many miles apart.

Back in 2011, my teacher traveled as a tourist to Maxi, a country settled in West Africa with a large French-speaking population. She didn’t expect to adopt an entire family, but fate had other plans. Madame met a nice man named Monsieur Diarra, a driver who had shown her the way through the dry lands of Mali.

Mali is now a war-torn country and unsafe for tourists to visit, leaving little work for taxi drivers. Madame Weiser realized how Monsieur Driarra’s family struggled on a daily basis, for he had a wife and four children to support as well as their grandmother, so she made a final decision to send the family as much money as she could raise every month.

Now, three years later, Madame Weiser has still kept up her fund, collecting money from family and friends as well as students to support the cause. It has become more than just my teacher donating to her adopted family abroad.

As president of French Club at my high school and a French Honor Society member, I decided that our club should work to raise money for the family in need. By washing cars, we raised over $1,000.

From my experience, I’ve learned that making an effort is worth more than anything. Its effect is priceless!

1. Why do taxi drivers have difficulty finding work in Mali?

A. People don’t like taking a taxi.

B. Tourists visiting Mali are few.

C. Mali is very unsafe for them.

D. Public transport is enough.

2. What does the underlined expression “the cause” refer to?

A. Teaching Trench in West Africa.

B. Looking for jobs for the drivers in Mali.

C. Helping the homeless as much as possible.

D. Donating money to the adopted family abroad.

3. What did the writer think of her experience?

A. Boring　　　　　　 B. Puzzling

C. Satisfying. 　　 D. Relaxing.

4. What is the best title of this passage?

A. The Love for Africa.　　　　　 　 B.　 A Kind Foreign Driver.

C. My Helpful Teacher　　　　　　　　 D. My Unforgettable Class

I will never forget the days when I met with my classmates. Early in the morning of our first school day, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know yet. I stood up look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. Can I give you a hug?”

I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.

“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.

She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…”

“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.

After class we shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized（迷住）listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.

“There is only one secret to staying young. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking round who are dead and don’t even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent of ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”

She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.

1.Why did the lady want to hug the author?

A. Because she wanted to challenge her professor.

B. Because she wanted to break the ice.

C. Because she wanted to find a rich husband.

D. Because she wanted to have a college education.

2.Which of the following statements agrees with the text best?

A. The author enjoyed his experience of riding in the “time machine”.

B. The author and the lady soon became close friends.

C. Talented people can easily find opportunities.

D. Old people usually don’t fear death.

3.It can be inferred that Rose is ________.

A. a lively college student　　 B. the author’s girlfriend

C. a young and innocent lady　　 D. an encouraging song

4.What is the life lesson the author learned from his experience?

A. An idle youth, a needy age.

B. Learn wherever you are.

C. A faithful friend is hard to find.

D. A man is not old until regrets to take the place of dreams.

When Dan Shaw gets up from the sofa in his home, Cuddles is never far away. When he wants to go outside, he doesn’t take Cuddles out for walk—Cuddles takes him for a walk. Cuddles is clearly no ordinary family pet. It is a two-foot-high miniature horse and serves as the guiding eyes of Shaw, who is blind.
