School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired. I sat at the very front of the bus because of 11 to get home. Sitting at the front makes you 12 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.

Janie, the driver, tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by striking the match of 13 .

    I try to mind my manners and 14 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 15, her conversation was worth listening to.

   “My father’s sick, ”she said to no one in 16 . 1 could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him?”

   With her eyes wet and her voice tight fighting against the tears, she  17, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes 18 as she continued. “I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can 19 losing him.”

   I couldn’t react. I was 20 . My heart ached for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great 21 my own mother was thrown into when my father died.

I saw how hard it was, 22   still is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to go 23  that.

   Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver. That was just her job. She had a 24 world of family and concerns too. I had never thought of her as anything but a driver.

   I suddenly felt very25. I realized I had only thought of people as 26 as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and just considered her 27.

For all I know, I’m just another person in 28 else’s world, and may not even be important. I 29 not have been so selfish and self-centred. Everyone has places to go to, people to see and appointments to 30 . Understanding people is an art.

Sarah Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school:

Wentworth Girls’ school

Beachside

July 20th

Dearest Mom and Dad,

I’ m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.

The trouble started last night when I was smoking in bed. This breaks the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.

As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away.

Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire.

There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning.

The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.

The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.

I’m very sorry about this.

Much love,

Sarah

P. S.  None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad the things could have been!

         A．tell her parents about the fire               B．a(chǎn)sk for a lot of money

         C．tell her parents she had failed her exams               D．tell her parents she had to leave school

         C．She wanted to make them less angry at the real news.

         D．She wanted to warn them about what the principal was going to do.

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年湖北省高三第一次質(zhì)量檢查英語題 題型：閱讀理解

Ibrahim became disabled after contracting polio (小兒麻痹癥) when he was three years old. At first his parents, like many other parents of disabled children in Niger, did not want to send him to school. They were worried he would be laughed at by his classmates.  

    Despite his disability, and his parents’ doubts, Ibrahim was determined to go to school. “When I was eight,” Ibrahim says, “other kids of my age were going to school while I stayed at home. I did not like that. So, I pestered (纏著) my parents until they finally let me go to school.”

   Ibrahim’s parents sent him to a private school nearby. Although the journey to and from school was a short one, it still wasn’t easy for Ibrahim. He had to use his hands to help him move along, protecting them with plastic slippers. But at least he was getting an education.

    However, after only a year in school, Ibrahim’s education was interrupted when his parents separated. His mother did not have the means to continue paying for his tuition.

    In 2007, Ibrahim received some money to be fitted with a leg brace (支架), corrective shoes and his first pair of crutches (拐杖). Now that he was more mobile than before, the most important thing for him was to find a way to go back to school. 

    “I wanted to start school again last October,” Ibrahim says. “After my mother told me she could not afford it, I went to visit some of my relatives for support. And I collected 5,000 francs CFA (US $8) to pay my tuition for half a year. I will find the rest of the money somehow.”

    Ibrahim attends a school in which he is the only disabled student. According to his teacher, he is among the top five students in a class of 55.

1. Why did Ibrahim’s parents prefer Ibrahim to stay at home? 

A. There was a lot of housework for him to do.  

B. They had no money to pay for his tuition.

C. There were not enough schools in the country.  

D. They were afraid the students would make fun of him.

2. How did Ibrahim go to school before his parents separated? 

A. He went to school on his wheelchair.

B. He went to school on his parents’ bicycle.   

C. He walked to school with the support of his hands.

D. He walked to school using a pair of crutches.
