My 8-year-old son, Kevin, has made friends with some boys in the neighborhood. He has been 1 with them after school. My wife,Qugen, and I are _2_ he has other kids to be with and we have_3_ and encouraged him to play with his friends. We also want Kevin to learn _4_,so we have asked him to tell us 5 _ he"s going and to come home at a specified time.
The 6 started when Kevin didn"t come home on time. On one occasion,I asked Kevin to be back at 6 pm. By 6:30,I needed to go 7 him. I found him at a friend"s house,and he looked _8_ that he couldn"t continue playing. After we came home,I sat Kevin down for a talk about the 9 of keeping his word. I told him I was not worried about him arriving a few _10_ late,but after half an hour,I"m going to be 11 . He told me he understood.
The next day,I came home from work at about 6:30 p.m. and Qugen asked me to go and get Kevin _12_ she said he should be bac k home at 6. I walked to his friend"s house and a look of _13_ appeared on Kevin"s face when he came to the door.
At 14 ,Qugen and I spoke to Kevin about why he didn"t come home on time again. He said he just wanted to _15_ playing. This was 16 ,so Qugen and I decided to ground (罚不准出门) him for a week. This 17 no playing with his friends.
For the next week,whenever his friends came to ask for Kevin,we let him _18_ to them that he was grounded. We felt this would help him be responsible for his 19 .

replied. She nodded and turned away. I was left wondering if people 3 me and saw only happy teeth.
Later that day at home, I began to 4 my teeth again. I felt upset. I thought my life would be somehow better if my teeth were not happy. How I wanted the perfect teeth that everyone else seemed to have!
Of course, Mom 5 everything. She has lived her entire life with happy teeth, and tried to convince me

face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he
never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were
leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked.
The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath
a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love
writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of
the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he
did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I
felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad"s face as he unwrapped those swirling
black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift. | | 1. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was _________. | A. doing shopping
B. having a debater
C. reading a message
D. leaving for Wyoming | | 2. The author"s inspiration for the gift came from _________. | A. a photo of a flower
B. a story about a kid
C. a call from the mother
D. a text about Christmas | | 3. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by _________. | A. the father
B. the author
C. William Blake
D. Edgar Allan Poe | | 4. The author made the gift by _________. | A. searching for the poems online
B. drawing the background by hand
C. painting the letters in three colors
D. matching the words with pictures | | 5. What is the main purpose of the passage? | A. To show how to design images for gifts.
B. To suggest making gifts from one"s heart.

working at a grocery store to the fast food industry.
Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago. I wanted to save up
money and buy my own car, so I applied everywhere I could that summer. The restaurant called me right
away and I thought to myself, this is going to be easy. Within four hours of my first shift (轮班), I had
angry customers who complained how slow I was. I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere,
and I heard the words that no 16-year-old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hear:"Mike, there"s a
problem in the men"s bathroom and you might want gloves for this one." I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic. The manager expected a clean environment and, particularly, fast service with a friendly smile.
Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations. I love my
co-workers there and all the customers know who I am. Every morning the same senior citizens come in
and get their morning coffees. They chat with us workers and joke around. Our smiles have just as much
to do with them making us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee does.
From my first job at the restaurant, I learned teamwork and devotion. I also learned staying positive
no matter how rough things seem to get. I will forever carry the experience that I gained at the restaurant
with me as I go forward in my life. | 1. Why did the author apply everywhere that summer? (No more than 12 words) (2 marks)
