I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
I had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day of the bird’s captivity my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.
Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.

Just as Mrs Richards was entering the dining-room, there was a knock on the front door. She knew it must be the baker. She had told him to come straight in if ever she failed to open the door and to leave the bread on the table. Not wanting to frighten the poor man, she quickly hid in the small store-room under the stair. She heard the front door opened and heavy footsteps in the hall. Suddenly the door of the store-room was opened and in came a man. Mrs Richards realized it must be the man from the Electricity Board who had come to read the meter.

The other day I was in my car on my way to the farmers market when I passed two teens standing by the side of the road with a car washing sign. My car was filthy and my heart was full, so I pulled over. There was a group directing the cars and another group spraying them down. As sponges(海绵) were wiped over every square inch of my dirty car, I sat enjoying the little water bottles. I was amazed at why forty to fifty teenagers had devoted their Saturday to washing cars.
After I handed them a twenty-dollar bill I asked what they were raising money for. They explained to me that a friend of theirs, C.T.Schmitz, had recently died of cancer. He was only fifteen years old. He had gone to school with a lot of the teenagers who were there that day and each of them had memories of a boy sweeter than any they had known. His friend Kevin had decided to put this car wash together because he wanted to honor his friend and also bring together his classmates with his boy scout troop(童子军). He told me that they wanted to plant a tree in front of their school and if they raised enough money they would put a plaque(纪念匾) there also. Both would be in memory of their friend C.T.
They handed me a bag of homemade cookies with my receipt(收据) saying“Thanks for helping us plant a tree of C.T.”
Yeah! I don’t know what is with teenagers today!

He finally decided on perfume(香水). All girls liked perfume. That raised another problem, however. What kind did she prefer? He couldn’t ask her because that would ruin the surprise.
At last the young man hit upon a brilliant idea. That afternoon, pretending to take his girlfriend’s fox terrier, a little dog for a walk, the young man and the dog went directly to the perfume counter of the town’s biggest department store. Good! There was a large array (长列) of perfume. He beckoned(招呼) a clerk, instructing her to open a large number of bottles and wave the stoppers under the dog’s nose.
Nestled in the young man’s arms, the terrier began to be restless and bored as this seemingly pointless game went on. Then Fritz suddenly became frisky, wiggling in the young man’s arms and barking excitedly, as the clerk waved one stopper under its nose.
“I’ll take that one,” said the young man to the clerk. The price was high, but it was worth it, he thought.
“My favorite perfume!” said the delighted girl the next evening as she unwrapped the package. “How did you know?” she asked, dabbing some perfume behind each ear.
“Intuition(直觉), I guess.” said the young man, deciding that it wasn’t exactly wrong to tell a lie under the circumstances. One day, after they were married, he would admit that his intuition had really been a little dog named Fritz.
小题1:Which of the following words best describes the young man in the story ?
| A．Kind-hearted | B．Curious |
| C．Creative | D．Mean |
| A．lively | B．angry |
| C．uneasy | D．puzzled |
| A．the young man | B．the store clerk | C．the man’s intuition | D．the dog Fritz |
| A．The young man wanted to give his girlfriend a pleasant surprise. |
| B．The pet dog Fritz knew what the young man wanted very well. |
| C．The kind of perfume the young man chose was expensive. |
| D．The young man told a white lie about his final choice of the perfume. |
SAT for the students is like tooth pulling. For those smart Asian kiddos, it’s like walking through the park: easy and carefree. For me, a Chinese American, …it’s: walking through the park and then tripping on a stone.
As I arrived outside of the dining hall, already a mob of students were sitting, talking, or standing silently waiting to get in. Jones students are lucky not only to have such a testing center at school, but also the feeling of their home school where it feels comfortable and familiar.
“ID, please,” my former math teacher asked at the door.
“Okay.” She looked over my ID, checked off my name on her list, and pointed towards the dining hall tables inside.
With hesitation, I picked up my feet and was directed to a large round table in the middle of the dinning hall. At least fourteen people could sit at this table but only four were allowed to take their test here.
“I’m glad it’s multiple choices.” I heard one student say. All the questions on the test have five choices except for one math section where they have only four. If you get an answer wrong, you don’t get any point, plus you get a penalty of a 1/4 point. If you don’t answer a question, you don’t get any point, nor penalties.
When everyone had a seat and the actual SAT I booklet in front of them, the proctor of the test called for our attentions. “In front of you, you should have a SAT I test and a scantron（答题卡）. Please do not open the test booklet until I say so.” He then went on to talk about the procedures, the amount of time, signature of honesty, etc. After thirty minutes of instruction reading, he gave us all a solemn expression before saying, “You may begin now. Good luck.”
I could hear a hundred booklets being opened and pencils scratching the surface. I looked to my right, I looked to my left, I did a quick prayer for whoever was in charge up in the heavens, and started my test. At least I wouldn’t know my score until summer time.
小题1:How did the author feel before the test?
| A．Confident. | B．Carefree. | C．Confused. | D．Nervous. |
| A．they can take the test in a dining hall |
| B．they can talk during the test |
| C．they can take the test in their home school |
| D．they have their math teacher supervising the test |
| A．the test would be so difficult that she might not pass it |
| B．the test seemed easy but she still needed to be careful with it |
| C．the test would be much easier for her than for the other Asian students |
| D．she found herself not as smart as the other Asian students |
| A．Fourteen students sat around a large round table, taking the test. |
| B．There were four math problems on the test. |
| C．You will lose more points if you get the answer wrong than if you give up the question. |
| D．The proctor announced the instructions as soon as the test began. |
Girls are born to imagine, particularly those at the age of seventeen or eighteen. 小题1: , I was one of them and sometimes I would go to extremes. I mean I tended to imagine too much. That was exactly what happened this time, 小题2: me great embarrassment.
I was waiting for my train home at the station when a boy 小题3: at my side. His beautifully-curved face, his fashionable clothing and everything else about him, was so 小题4: that I just couldn’t help looking at him. What was more exciting was that , he was also stealing some 小题5: at me, which made me blush(脸红) to the ends of my ears! Still, I tried to be calm and 小题6: that nothing had happened. However, once again when our eyes met, I could hear my heart beating. I lowered my head to escape his eyes, but my thoroughly red face had made 小题7: known .
To my pleasant surprise, my imagination came true this time, as the handsome guy was drawing near! “Oh, please! Don’t 小题8: .” Look at me. I am so sweaty and sloppy(不整洁的). Please don’t ask for my telephone number. You know I will give it to you without 小题9: , and that is so unladylike.
I was still struggling when he stood right in front of me. “Excuse me…” he said with a slight hesitation. His voice was so nice, but I wish I had not 小题10: it. “I am sorry, but could you please give me my 小题11: back? Yours is over there.” Oh my God! Nothing could have been more 小题12: when I handed his bag back to him, as shame almost brought me to tears.
From that , I drew a big lesson: never imagine too much if someone just gives you a few glances.
