It all started at the beginning of this term. At first, Carmen wasn’t really sure what was happening. In class, she had to squint (瞇眼) to see the blackboard clearly. As it got worse, she became more and more worried. It was important for her to see the notes and homework the teacher wrote on the board.
In class, she asked for a desk that was closer to the blackboard. One day, her teacher said, “Carmen, I’ve noticed you squinting a lot. Are you having trouble seeing the board?” Carmen shook her head. “I’m fine, Mrs. Cruz.”
At home, she had to sit closer and closer to the television. Her mother noticed her squinting as she watched her favorite shows.
“Tomorrow I will go to see a doctor,” she said firmly. Three days later, Carmen had new glasses. She was told to wear them all the time. “All of the kids at school will think I am a nerd (書呆子),” she said. “You look just as beautiful with those glasses on as you do without them,” her mother said. But Carmen didn’t believe her.
The next day, Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. Suddenly, she heard her friend Theresa shout. “What’s wrong?” she asked.
“My silver ring is gone!” Theresa cried. Carmen could tell that Theresa was very upset. They all looked for the ring in the grassy area of the playground.
Carmen realized that she could search better if she could see better. She took the glasses out of her pocket and put them on. Everything looked so different! So clear! And a glimmer (微光) of silver caught her eye.
“Here it is,” she shouted. “Thanks Carmen,” Theresa said. “I didn’t know you wore glasses. They look great!” “Thanks,” Carmen replied shyly.
As they walked back toward the school building, two more girls praised her glasses. Carmen smiled. “Maybe wearing glasses won’t be so bad after all,” she thought.
【小題1】According to the text, Carmen_________.

A.doesn’t like doing homework
B.often tells lies to her teacher
C.cares how well she does in lesson
D.has trouble getting along with her classmates
【小題2】When Carmen wore glasses for the first time, she felt________.
A.sadB.pleasedC.surprisedD.disappointed
【小題3】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A.Other girls expect to have new glasses.
B.Carmen will get used to wearing glasses.
C.Wearing glasses will make Carmen look beautiful.

73    That’s when they need their parents most.But as soon as Carmen went to school,she seemed to grow up and grow apart from her family, and any father finds it difficult with a teenage daughter.

Dear Disney,

   Last weekend, the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom - Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical.

We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice-cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride.

Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff(員工) members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, "Promise?" Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride.

   Sure enough, as we walked out the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with "her" ice-cream.

Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice-cream won't last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride;

she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit. Gloria said, "Thank you," but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice-cream.

   We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!

                                         Your fan,

                                        Carmen Rivera

   A. in the ice-cream shop           B. at the exit

   A.took Gloria to the nearest shop       B. asked her new friend to help Gloria

   C. helped Gloria get off the ride        D.bought a new ice-cream for Gloria
