| I fell in love with the minister's son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. For Christmas I prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister's family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived-the minister's family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence. Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made a face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. "Amy, your favorite," he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear. At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped (打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. "It's a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied," explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night. After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, "You want to be the same as American girls on the outside." She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt. "But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud that you are different. Your only shame is to have shame." It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food. |

| A. she worried about their shabby Chinese Christmas B. she worried about their Chinese relatives lacking American manners C. she worried about meeting the minister's family D. she worried about being laughed at |
| 2. What does "he was not worthy of existence" probably mean? It means ________. |
| A. the writer was not interested in his existence B. he was worthless C. he should not exist D. the writer expected his coming |
| 3. The dinner threw the writer deeper into disappointment mainly because ________. |
| A. her relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks B. her father reached his chopsticks to pick fish for her C. her father leaned back and burped loudly D. she childishly expected all of them to act in the same way as Americans did at table |
| 4. We can infer from the passage that ________. |
| A. the writer appreciated her mother's lesson years later B. the writer must be proud that she is different C. the mother prepared to show Chinese different food culture D. the minister's family really enjoyed the food |

| A Divine Plan At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learningdisabled children, the father of one student delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by those who attended. He began with a question. "Everything God does is done with perfection. Yet, my son, Shay, cannot learn and understand things as other children do. Where is God's plan reflected in my son?" The audience was stilled by the question. The father continued,"I believe that when God brings a child like Shay into the world, an opportunity to realize the Divine Plan presents itself. And it comes in the way people treat that child." Then he told the following story: Shay and I walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked,"Do you think they will let me play?" I knew that most boys would not want him on their team. Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball. So I approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance from his teammates. Getting none, he took matters into his own hands and said, "We are losing by six runs(得分). The game is in the eighth inning(回合). He can be on our team and we will try to put him up to bat in the ninth inning." In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. At the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the outfield. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. They had the potential to win. Would the team actually let Shay bat at this juncture and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. At last, understanding what the boy's intentions had been, the boys from both teams helped Shay win the game for the team and Shay was cheered as the hero. "That day," said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face,"the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of the Divine Plan into this world." |
| 1. Why did the father think most of the boys wouldn't let Shay join them? |
| A. Because it was a very important game and they couldn't afford to lose it. B. Because they knew Shay was physically disabled. C. Because they didn't get on well with Shay. D. Because they knew Shay was anything but good at playing baseball. |
| 2. The sentence "Although no hits came his way, he was obviously very happy just to be on the field." should be put at the end of ________. |
| A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 6 C. Paragraph 8 D. Paragraph 9 |
| 3. What can we infer from the passage? |
| A. Shay's team would have lost the game without him. B. The opponent team let Shay score purposely. C. It was quite by accident that Shay scored. D. Shay's team let him play because they didn't take the game seriously |
| 4. The underlined word "juncture" can be explained by ________. |
| A. a critical point B. a particular place C. a dilemma D. an important game |

| I am truly saddened about what is going on in my school district, especially in the school where I am currently working. Why are so many students not doing well? Why is there such a huge achievement gap between urban and suburban students? Just this week, in my school the seventh grade team leader called a meeting to discuss academic detention (放学后留校). The purpose of the detention is to allow students who are doing poorly a second chance to redo the work. Now if a student did not understand an assignment I have no trouble allowing that student to redo a test or give some extra credit work, but if a student did poorly because he/she opted(选择) not to do the work out of sheer laziness, that student should not be given a second chance. And parents should be held accountable for their children. That is another reason why there is such a huge achievement gap. All children should be monitored at home in order to achieve great success in school. Perhaps it might be a great idea for urban school districts to offer free classes to parents on how to help their students at home. Of course this idea is far fetched, after all we do not want to offend the parents. What we will do instead is to spend a fortune on teacher training because if the kids are not doing well it must be the fault of the teacher. That kind of mindset, if allowed to continue will be a perfect recipe for greater achievement gaps. I started working at my current school in August and I have been in the teaching field for 25 years. What I believe is that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make that horse drink. You can't force kids to change bad habits over night, nor can we afford to lower standards just so a kid can pass a class. |
| 1. The seventh grade team leader in the author's school called a meeting to ________. |
| A. analyse the reason for the huge achievement gap between students B. find out who is to blame for the huge achievement gap between students C. talk about giving students who are doing poorly a second chance to redo the work D. discuss how to narrow the huge achievement gap between students |
| 2. The author believes that a student can be given a second chance ________. |
| A. if he did poorly the first time B. for whatever reason he did poorly the first time C. if he failed the first time in spite of his efforts D. if he comes from a suburban area |
| 3. In the last paragraph, the author intends to tell us that ________. |
| A. a student can make improvement only when he is willing to B. teachers are to blame if his students are doing poorly C. the school should force those students to work harder if they're doing poorly D. the school should treat different students with different standards |

| Online Movie Rentals It is generally accepted that the best way to learn a language is to totally involve yourself in its culture by living in the country where it is spoken. __ 1__ Fortunately, many aspects of a country's culture have made their way to our lives in the form of various media and entertainment outlets. Not only do they allow a peek at life, but they make excellent study material for learning the language. What to increase your language skills and enjoy some entertainment at the same time? Tired of going down to the video rental store to rent movies? __ 2__ Most companies require customers to operate on the following model: ●Select and sign up for a payment program online, which will determine how many movies you can rent and hold at any one time. ● __ 3__ You can look up movies by title, actor or director. Then movies will be sent to you within 1～3 days, and shipping is covered by the company. ●Watch the movies, often with no late fees. ● __ 4__ ●Check these sites for specific, uptodate details. Once you receive the movies, how can you improve your language skills with them? Well, just sitting in front of the TV with a drink in one hand isn't a bad way to relax, but you won't learn much. While seeing a movie you should take notes of new expressions. Write them down and look them up in a good English-English dictionary to understand their possible meanings. __ 5__ If you don't know how to use words, learning vocabulary will lose all meaning. |
| A. Return the movies in a prepaid return envelope. B. If you haven't finished on time, you can delay returning. C. Now, more and more companies are offering customers the chance to rent movies online. D. Then, think of some sample sentences for each word. E. Choose the movie you want to watch, generally 1～3 at a time. F. Watch movies as long as you have nothing to do. G. While many find packing up and moving to a country is not a practical option. |
