举一反三

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And  1    assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always   2  to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this    3   after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy   4   because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the   5  to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. Without the teacher who kept insisting on my “   6   for  it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the   7  of it! When I first started  8   the practice sessions (练习赛), I didn’t   9  know the rules of the game, not to mention what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get    10   and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.   11  , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to   12    on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t   13  “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the  14  and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive  15  in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process (过程) — friends who respected my  16   to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!   
With my    17    self-confidence comes more praise (赞扬) from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “   18”in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,    19    raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent    20   I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

What image does the word “Britain” conjure up(令人想到)in your mind? Big Ben,the frequently changing weather, fish and chips… But have you ever wondered what British people think means “Britain”?
English playwright William Shakespeare and pop group The Beatles are the icons which inspire a sense of national pride in British people, according to a recent survey.
More than 2,000 people were asked what aspect of Britain made them feel most proud. Shakespeare topped the list, followed by the National Trust, a charity which protects places of historical or environmental interest. These beat the British currency, the pound, and the BBC.
Surprisingly, the royal family only made it to seventh on the list. “The royal family, while popular, does not inspire widespread pride,” said a spokesman for Demos, the think tank(智囊团) which carried out the research. “However, it is certainly the case that — through their unique capacity to hold and lead national events — the royal family has a central role to play in developing pride.”
Terence Blacker, a reporter for The Independent, believes the study shows the nature of new patriotism(爱国主义). “It turns out that modern British patriotism is not really about nationhood at all,” he wrote.
According to the poll, the most impressive symbols of national pride concerned private conduct and character. Volunteering topped the list, followed by politeness and patience.
小题1: According to the passage, the following statements are British most outstanding symbols except   .
A.patriotism.B.the Beatles.C.politeness.D.Shakespeare.
小题2:Which of the following is close to the right order of the top symbols of Britain?
A.a ,b, c, dB.a, d, c, bC.c, a, b, dD.a, c, b, d
小题3:The royal family does not top the list because   .
A.the royal family has a central role to play in developing pride
B.the royal family owns a lot of wealth.
C.the royal family does not attract the public attention.
D.the royal family does not influence the public as much as it used to.
小题4:It can be inferred that     can make Chinese feel most proud.
A.volunteering.B.education.C.Luxun.D.Population.

Miss Popular
I was awkward in middle school: bony and athletic, with a high grade in science and a low one in self-esteem. Though I had a few friends, I wasn’t popular. I was picked last in football and I sometimes ate lunch by myself.
I remember the day Brittany came to our school. Her teeth were crooked(歪斜的), and she was a little overweight. Not that this mattered though, because she walked around like she was better than all of us. She was outspoken and incredibly frightening, making people lose confidence.
Around Brittany, I tried my best to go unnoticed. Standing out or stealing her spotlight could only result in one thing: conflict. Brittany was always the first girl picked for teams; I was lucky if I was picked at all. I was thrown the ball while she stood with the quarterback, chatting about the last party she’d gone to. I had never been to a party before or kissed a boy.
One day, a classmate asked me to the school dance. I was flattered. Then Brittany told me during science class that she had persuaded him to invite me. She asked in front of everyone, “Why would anyone even want you?” I went home and cried.
Although she was seemingly perfect in everyone’s eyes, I wanted to be everything that she wasn’t and yet a million times more perfect. Brittany was so frightening and violent, but I wanted to be calm and not at all aggressive.
I found Brittany’s online profile a few weeks ago. She still had the same chubby(圆胖脸) face and mocking(嘲笑的)simile, and had posted half-naked pictures of herself. But as I read on, I realized that Brittany had died in a drunken driving accident a year ago. She had been 16 and pregnant at the time. Suddenly my view of Brittany changed from a bad influence into a struggling little girl whose life was taken before she could understand right from wrong. My experience with Brittany taught me that though we are all innocent in our youth, the choices we make will have great effects on us forever. I will always remember Brittany as that loud, overconfident girl. As part of that shy insecure person I used to be will always keep me modest.
小题1:From the first three passages we can conclude that           .
A.the author was trying to avoid conflict with Brittany
B.the author secretly envied Brittany for being popular
C.Brittany’s appearance made her popular with boys
D.Brittany was puzzled at how she could be popular
小题2:Which of the following is TRUE about Brittany?
A.She didn’t mean to hurt the author.
B.She took delight in hurting others.
C.Her confidence came from her popularity.
D.Her overweight made her more outspoken.
小题3:According to the passage we can learn that the author         .
A.was afraid of Brittany and followed her lead
B.saw the influence that low self-esteem can have
C.was determined to be better than Brittany
D.knew she was quietly different from Brittany
小题4:The last passage is meant to           .
A.tell us the reason for Brittany’s death
B.present the changed attitude to Brittany
C.show the influences of the youth
D.stress the importance of behaviors

After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs your eyeballs begin to move quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.
小题1:A good title for this passage is _______.
A.Sleep.B.Good HealthC.DreamsD.Work and Rest
小题2:The word “drowsy” in the last paragraph means_______.
A.sickB.asleepC.a little sleepyD.noisy
