you need to know and understand me. During the past nine years that we have been in America, I have
grown greatly, changed from that wide-eyed and scared little girl to a proud and brave young woman.
The change wasn"t always smooth, and I wasn"t always patient, but you were both always understanding.
And through your understanding I have learned.
I have learned from you. Dad, you wake up every morning to go to the steel plant, where people don"t
speak your language and you don"t speak theirs. I know that if you were in Vietnam, you would be
comfortably surrounded by friends. But you are here in America, doing what you don"t like, and through
that, you are teaching your children the power of persistence.
I have learned from you, Mom, you cook nice Vietnamese sour soup and fish, wait up at nights for
your daughters. When I see you pacing back and forth because your daughters aren"t home yet, I cry
because I see so much pain in your eyes, and through your pain I learn the meaning of home a sanctuary
that I will always be able to turn to.
Through all your sacrifices I learn the essence of being human. I learn to love. I find that this love leads
me to you, to the home, to the fact that I am Vietnamese-American. The dreams that you have taught me
slowly begin to take shape as I walk down the college path, step into the adult world and adventure out
of your world. Wherever I go, I carry my past with me, knowing that you will always be there behind me
and I will always come back, because you are where my home is.

of day.This is so __1__ that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one __2__

open as they __5_ do. As a matter of fact, they __6__ to open at their usual time. This suggests

wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises
from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon
their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of
conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy
all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.
Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society,
offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded
in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being
disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The
habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests
and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on
deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats
them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper
and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune,
nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they
bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize
their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without
worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for other
s to avoid anycontact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when
one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
B. usually are affected by the results of certain things
C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
2. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 "sour the pleasure of society" most probably means "_ _"
B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly
D. enjoy the pleasure of life
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people cannot understand happy persons
4. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _ _.
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D. tells people how to be happy in life
quietly and go by without 1 (notice). Therefore, it is 2 (advise) that you should value and
treat them with care. 3 an opportunity comes, it brings a promise but never realizes it 4
its own. If you want to achieve something _ 5 intend to fulfill one of your ambitious, you must
work hard, make efforts and get prepared, 6 , you will take no advantage of opportunities
when they come to visit you. The difference between a man who succeeds and 7 who
does not lies only in the way each treats opportunities. The successful person always 8 (make)
adequate preparations to meet opportunity- ties as they duly arrive. The unsuccessful person, on
the other hand, works little and just waits to see them pass by. In my opinion, there are plenty of
opportunities for 9 in our society, but only those 10 are prepared adequately and qualified
highly can make use of them to achieve their purpose.
Maurice Sendak"s children"s book, Where the Wild Things Are, published in 1963, has become
very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year.
The book"s main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent
to bed without any supper. Before long, Max"s room magically becomes a forest, and he sails away to
a land where monsters live. Max isn"t scared, though, and becomes king of the wild things, but after a
while, he begins feeling homesick. Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in
his bedroom.
Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and
imagination. Melina Davis, an education professor, said she likes how the book contains a couple
of pages that have only pictures on them. "This allows children to shape the story themselves," she
said.
The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children, but
experts say those words help improve children"s reading skills and challenge them.
Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. "The book talks
about what all children go through, like "I was naughty but my mommy still loves me"," Davis said.
The book also encourages children to face their fears. "I think it"s really good to show that Max
makes friends with the monsters," Davis said. "Kids can find out monsters aren"t always the thing
under the bed that"s going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows that the children can
go to scary places but still have a positive experience."
Since the book has been successful throughout the years, a movie was recently made and many
people are excited to see it. Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little
scary for younger children. "You don"t want bad dreams over a book that"s extremely wonderful,"
Davis said.
A. learn to draw their own pictures
B. understand their own fear
C. develop more quickly
D. become more imaginative
A. To add to the difficulty while children are reading.
B. To help challenge the children"s reading skills.
C. To cause the children some confusion.
D. To help children get involved in the story.
B. Max was sent to the forest as punishment.
C. It is suitable for people of all ages.
D. It is the most popular children"s book ever published.
4. What does Davis think of the movie?
B. She encourages children to see it to fight against their fear.
C. She worries that it might be too frightening for some children.
D. She believes it will be a better choice for children than the book.
5.What"s the author"s purpose in writing the passage?
B. To comment on a famous children"s book.
C. To encourage children to read scary stories.
D. To introduce a movie based on a children"s book.
