I used to be ashamed of my grandma. I know that's a　 36　 thing to say, but it was true until today, so I have to　 37　 it.

The　 38　 started when my friend Katy found Grandma's false teeth floating in a glass on the bathroom sink. I was so used to seeing them that I　 39　 took notice of them. But Katy shouted, laughing and　 40　 to talk to them. I had to get down on my knees and　 41　 her to shut up so my grandma wouldn't　 42　 and get hurt.

After that happened, I　 43　 there were a million things about Grandma that were embarrassing（令人窘迫）.

Once she took Jill and me out to Burger King.　 44　 ordering our hamburgers well-done, she told the person behind the counter, "They'll have two Whoppers (巨無霸) well-to-do. " Jill burst out laughing, but I almost　 45　.

After a while, I started wishing I could　 46　 Grandma in a closet. I even complained to my parents. Both my parents said I had to be careful not to make Grandma feel　 47　 in our home.

Then last Wednesday, something happened that　 48　 everything completely. My teacher told us to help find interesting old people and　 49　 them about their　 50　 for a big Oral History project. I was trying to think of someone when Angie pushed me gently.

"Volunteer your grandmother," she whispered. "She's　 51　 and rich in experience."

That was the last thing I ever thought Angie would say about my grandma.

This is how I ended up on　 52　 today interviewing my own grandmother before the whole school assembly (集合). All my friends and teachers were listening to her　 53　 she was a great heroine. I was　 54　 of my grandma and hoped she would　 55　 know that I had been ashamed of her.

解析:

36根據(jù)第一句I used to be ashamed of my grandma 以及后文可知，作者過去對(duì)奶奶錯(cuò)誤的看法或態(tài)度是一件羞于啟齒的事情。funny滑稽可笑的 ；common常見的；clear清晰的。

37雖然這種事情說出來不好，但卻是一個(gè)事實(shí)，作者不得不承認(rèn)。

38后文所列舉的例子，是作者認(rèn)為由奶奶引起的麻煩事。另外后文沒有出現(xiàn)作者與Katy爭吵，故排除A；accident事故；adventure冒險(xiǎn)。

39根據(jù)句意可知此處應(yīng)為否定的語氣。

40根據(jù)動(dòng)詞的用法可排除A、C；再根據(jù)后文作者擔(dān)心奶奶會(huì)聽見受到傷害可以推斷出Katy只是假裝要宣揚(yáng)這件事。

41此處作者應(yīng)為懇求的語氣。

42根據(jù)上下文及詞意可知。

43聯(lián)系上下文可知，作者意識(shí)到奶奶會(huì)引起很多不愉快的事情。expect盼望；期望；declare 宣告；宣稱；doubt懷疑。

44根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，買漢堡包應(yīng)該買已經(jīng)做好的，而奶奶卻讓他們做一個(gè)“巨無霸”漢堡包。

45根據(jù)前文but 可知，作者的態(tài)度應(yīng)與弟弟的態(tài)度相反，再結(jié)合作者對(duì)奶奶的態(tài)度可排除B項(xiàng)，disappear 消失，不符語意， suffer受苦，遭受；此處用die表示作者十分生氣失望的心情。

46作者希望把奶奶藏起來，不讓奶奶出來引起麻煩。

47inconvenient 不便利的，不方便的，主語不能為人，故排除；結(jié)合語意可知父母不希望讓奶奶感到在家里不受歡迎。

48此處為本文的轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)，根據(jù)下文可知，作者對(duì)奶奶的看法發(fā)生了根本性的改變。finish結(jié)束；stop停止； prepare準(zhǔn)備。

49根據(jù)52個(gè)空后面的interview 可知答案。

50根據(jù)下文51個(gè)空后面的rich in experience 可知此處lives 為生活、經(jīng)歷。

51根據(jù)49個(gè)空前面My teacher told us to help find interesting old people… 的可知此處應(yīng)選C。

52作者在全體師生面前采訪奶奶，讓她講述自己的經(jīng)歷應(yīng)在舞臺(tái)上。on show在展覽，on duty 在上班，on time按時(shí)。

53  as if好象。

54 聯(lián)系上文可知，作者對(duì)奶奶的看法已經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)變。be proud of  對(duì)……感到自豪, be sure of  確信，be afraid of 害怕……。

55作者希望奶奶永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)知道自己原來對(duì)她的看法，不讓她因此受到傷害。

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter（痛苦的） about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

1.Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?

A．He was silent most of the time.             B．He was too proud of himself.

C．He did not love his children.               D．He expected too much of her.

2.When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel         .

A．nervous          B．sorry             C．tired             D．safe

3.What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?

A．More critical.                          B．More talkative

C．Gentle and friendly.                      D．Strict and hard-working.

4.The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to         .

A．the author’s son                       B．the author’s father

C．the friend of the author’s father           D．the café owner

E. Take Time to Reflect

Five Simple Ways to Increase Your Intelligence

Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus.  

Here are 5 simple ways anyone can squeeze a bit more productivity out of the old gray matter.

1. __________-This is a hard sell. People love vegetating in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity OR allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise.

When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.

Exercise- I used to think that I'd learn more by not exercising and using the time to read a book instead. But I realized that time spent exercising always leads to greater learning because it improves productivity during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy. Afterwards, you feel invigorated（精力充沛）and can concentrate more easily.

2. __________-Many people like to read popular suspense fiction, but generally these books aren't mentally stimulating. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed to the author’s style.

3. __________-Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation. You'll be most rejuvenated if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and compensate by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic（無精打采）and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early morning hours are the most tranquil and productive. Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes your mental acuity（敏銳）all day.

If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. Anything longer will make you lethargic, but a short nap will refresh you.

4. __________-Often our lives get so hectic that we become overwhelmed without even realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate because nagging thoughts keep interrupting. Spending some time alone in reflection gives you a chance to organize your thoughts and prioritize your responsibilities. Afterwards, you’ll have a better understanding of what's important and what isn’t. The unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your mind will feel less encumbered.

Conclusion-I hope you aren’t disappointed that none of the techniques I've proposed are revolutionary. But simple, unexciting answers are often the most valid. The challenge is having the will to adhere to them. If you succeed in following these 5 tips, you’ll be rewarded with increased mental acuity and retention of knowledge.

I like eating fruit and vegetables what are of great benefit to our healthy. Not only do they prevent us from falling into ill, but they help us lose weight. I used to hate vegetables, but follow the doctor’s advice, I gradually kicked the bad habit. Just as an old saying going, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. However, there are still many children dislike fruit and vegetables. On contrary, influenced by this or that kind of advertisement, many were crazy about junk food. Consequently, they become weaker and weaker instead of getting strong. In my opinion, we must take action to change them.
