Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky in 1809. His mother died when he was ten years old. Later, his family moved to Illinois and his father remarried. The family was poor, so they had to struggle just to live. In Illinois, there were neither teachers nor schools, but Lincoln’s stepmother encouraged him to study. He learned to read and write while working on the farm.

At twenty-one, Lincoln left home. He soon received a law license and became a lawyer. People trusted him and began to call him “Honest Abe”.

During the following years, he took a more active part in polities. Soon he was not only a highly respected lawyer but also a well-known politician. He was elected the sixteenth president of the United States in 1860, and in the next year the Civil War broke out.

The Civil War was between the southern states that wanted to leave the Union and form their own country, and northern states that wanted to keep all the states as one country. The southern states wanted to keep the laws that allowed them to own slaves. Both the northern states and President Lincoln wanted to get rid of those laws. On April 9, 1865, the Civil War ended and all slaves were set free.

Less than a week later, on April 14, 1865, Abraham Lincoln was shot at the Ford Theater in Washington D.C. He died the next day from his wounds.

Can a soft-looking girl be tough(堅韌的) inside? Taiwan’s pop singer Evonne Xu is like this. If she thinks something is right, she goes out of her way to do it.

“If anyone around me gets treated unfairly,” she said, “I can’t pretend not to see. I feel it’s my duty to speak out and protect their rights.” Her friends sometimes advise her not to invite trouble, but she isn’t afraid.

She was born in a hospital in Texas, America, where she was the only Asia baby. A lot of people came to look at her. She was so pretty that she was called “Snow White”.

Even so, Xu did not want to lie to her parents like many kids did. “I could have told them I was going to the library to study, when in fact I was going to a party,” she said, “But it would have made me feel very bad. I would rather argue with them for my rights.”

A class teacher, in my opinion, plays an important role in a child’s development. Every year when my daughter moves to a new class, I have a usual big worry –her new class teacher. This year, she is moving to Class Three and I can’t wait to see how things are going on.

Last year, my daughter did not like her teacher at all. It was so bad that she did not look forward to school. It was a year full of trouble and worries.

This year, Miss Purity is gentle and humorous. It’s hard not to like her. Here are the changes in my daughter.

She becomes an early bird. Last year, mornings were like a fight because I had to force Tasha to hurry up when she was preparing for school. I had to pull her out of bed, tell her to take breakfast and then drove her to school. But now, our mornings are like a party. She wakes up early, prepares everything at a high speed and then rushes to school to be with Miss Purity.

She’s happy. She enjoys school and school work and keeps talking about what they did at school when she comes home.

She’s responsible. She used to be careless and forgetful. But now she never forgets even her water bottle at school. She makes her bed and helps in the kitchen.

Her diary is full of praises. The diary is the tool of communication between the teacher and the parents. Last year, her diary was always full of negative reports. One time, she poured water in a child’s lunchbox, another time she threw another kid’s textbook in the toilet. Now she began to share her snacks with those who did not have anything. She’s always volunteering to clean the blackboard, the teacher’s chair and desk.

She does well in school. Finishing her classwork was such a big problem. She had to do it at home. But now, she finished both the classwork and homework at school.

1. What is the big worry of Tasha’s father every year?

A. Who will be Tasha’s class teacher. B. Which class Tasha will be in.

C. How Tasha goes to school in the morning. D. What Miss Purity looks like.

2.What did Tasha do when she didn’t like her class teacher?

A. She had a fight with her mother in the morning. B. She didn’t want to go to school.

C. She missed a lot of classes. D. She refused to do classwork and homework.

3.What does “early bird” mean in the passage?

A. It is a lovely little child. B. It is the most beautiful bird.

C. It is someone who lives alone. D. It is someone who gets up early.

4.Which of the following is not true about Tasha’s past?

A. She couldn’t finish her classwork at school. B. She often forgot things at school.

C. She didn’t get on well with her classmates. D. She was careless and silent.

5.What is not mentioned about the changes in Tasha.

C. Her habit of living D. Her behaviors at school.
