“How was school, Ben?” I asked my grandson after he began kindergarten(幼兒園) this year. “The work is too long… and there’s not enough time to play,” he replied.
I couldn’t help but remember Ben’s own mother, my daughter, Jane, and her reaction(反應) to the first day of school. Julie was also disappointed with the first day of school and so was her little sister. My three-year-old daughter announced angrily after her big sister got on the big yellow school bus, “I want to go ‘sool’ and you not let me!”
When Julie returned home that afternoon, I asked her the same question that I asked Ben, “How was school, Julie?” Julie replied, “I didn’t learn to read today.”
This year as the school bus passed my house, my mind went back to those school days again. I could almost smell the chalk dust in the air. I also wonder what the children these days manage to get chosen to do in order to get out of school for a few moments since there are no erasers to clean. It was fun to be “chosen” for eraser cleaning duty. This was a task finished by going outside and beating erasers together while sneezing and coughing. No wonder so many babies now have allergies(過敏癥), and it’s simply because we all have chalk dust in our lungs!
On the first day of school, the expectation was so great that I would be ready long before it was time to leave for school. We didn’t have backpacks because we had cigar boxes. We carried our small supplies inside a cigar box from one of the local stores. We saved the cigar boxes and used them from year to year until they fell apart.
The first day of school was exciting. It was a new beginning. The doors of knowledge had been opened. The first day of school is an event in our lives that most of us remember. It’s a big step for a small child toward leaving babyhood and so “there isn’t enough time to play”

  1. 1.

    Why did Jane become angry according to the passage?

    1. A.
      Because she didn’t learn to read on the first day of school
    2. B.
      Because there was too much work for her to do at school
    3. C.
      Because she had no time to play at school
    4. D.
      Because she was not allowed to go to school
  2. 2.

    The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggests that______.

    1. A.
      the author was thinking of her school days jokingly
    2. B.
      the author warned students against the harm of chalk dust
    3. C.
      the author suffered from an allergy because of chalk dust
    4. D.
      the author doubted whether her lungs had chalk dust
  3. 3.

    In the opinion of the author, the first day of school is______.

    1. A.
      a day when a child is the happiest
    2. B.
      a day when a child does much work
    3. C.

In 1995, Susan Boyle went to Glasgow to audition (試演) for My Kind of people, a televised talent show popular in the UK. She was immediately rejected. She was nervous during the audition, and felt she didn't perform well, but her brother said that she was rejected because of her plain looks. Boyle was not discouraged and continued to sing at church and at the karaoke nights in a local pub.

Boyle suffered a personal loss in 1997, when her father passed away. After his death. Boyle put her big dreams on hold to care for her sick mother Bridget Boyle. The mother and daughter often talked of Susan's possible fame. Bridget Boyle encouraged her daughter to take part in singing competitions. “She was the one who said I should enter Britain's Got Talent. We used to watch it together.” Susan later told reporters. “She thought I would win.”

In 1999, Boyle used all of her savings to pay for a professional demo (樣本唱片) tape. which she sent to record companies. In 2002, Boyle began taking singing lessons from voice coach Fred O'Neil.

In 2007, Boyle's mother passed away at the age of 91. A neighbor reported that when Bridget Boyle died, her daughter “wouldn't come out for three or four days or answer the door or phone.” She lived alone with her cat, Pebbles. For over a year, she refused to sing. But in August of 2008, O'Neil urged her to try out for Britain's Got Talent. Convinced that the performance would be an honor to her mother, Boyle auditioned in Glasgow, Scotland. She sang I Dreamed A Dream in the first round of the show, which was aired on 11 April 2009.

The 47-year-old Scottish woman's plain looks provided a sharp contrast (對比) to her powerfully beautiful voice. The performance astonished the audience and the judges. Online videos of her performance totaled over 40 million views within a week. Although she failed to win the final of Britain's Got Talent, Susan Boyle became globally popular. Her first album I Dreamed A Dream has sold over five million copies.

He wasn’t sick. He wasn’t old. And he wasn’t losing. He had a very good final season and won his last game in 2008. And then he walked away.
Lloyd Carr was 62. That’s a few years earlier than retirement(退休) age in America and many years earlier than some college football coaches say goodbye. How was Carr, who coached University of Michigan, able to leave so easily?
“ It can be intoxicating,” Carr admits. “The Saturday afternoons and the crowds. And when you win, there’s nothing like it.”
But the job needs hard work. The pressure to win. The endless training. The hours are so long that sleeping at the office is a normal thing. I reported Carr’s career at Michigan from 1995 to 2007. I saw him run onto the field before 100,000 cheering fans, saw him enjoy a share of a national championship with a 12-0 season.
And when I visited him recently in retirement, the difference was noticeable. He seems much calmer, relaxed, more at peace. He says, “As much fun as it is, there’s a period when you have other things to deal with.”
Carr knew he wanted to travel, see the world, read more, do other work. He is now connected with a children’s hospital, does some speaking, plays golf, and enjoys relaxing with his wife, Laurie, and their many grandchildren.
Several of today’s big-name coaches are all about Carr’s retirement age. Nick Saban turns 59 this month. Jim Tressel is 57. Frank Beamer is already 63. None of them seems to be slowing down.
So when, I ask Carr, is the right moment to leave such a great job?
He thinks. Finally, he says, “When you love it and can still walk away from it. That’s the right moment.”
【小題1】Lloyd Carr stopped working as a coach because he _______.

A．was too oldB．was injured seriously
C．had other things to experienceD．followed others’ examples
【小題2】The underlined word “intoxicating” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A．excitingB．disappointingC．surprisingD．puzzling
【小題3】It can be inferred from the text that Lloyd Carr ________.
A．was always free after retirement
B．was a failure as a football coach
C．missed the time when he coached
D．enjoyed his retirement life very much
【小題4】The author is most probably ________.
A．a football playerB．Lloyd Carr’s assistant
C．a retired coachD．a sports reporter

This is a true story of how my car got stuck in water and how a stranger helped me during the worst rain storm.

Last Sunday, the sky was grey when I woke up. The weather report said rain was coming, but I couldn’t stay home just because of rain.

Around 8:00 am I had a doctor’s appointment. It wasn’t raining then. At 9:00 I left the doctor’s office to drive to work, and it was raining hard. I just had to go about 5-6 miles down one main road to get to a nearby school, where I could stay until the rain ended. Unfortunately, the road in front of the school was flooded, and my car stopped in the middle.

“Who is going to save me?” I wondered. I shut off the engine and turned on my flashers (車燈). I called 911. They were not helpful. I called my husband, even though he couldn’t come and help me. I was also very close to a police station. But I never saw even one police car. I decided to get out of the car, since it was still pouring.

My best decision of the day had been to wear rain boots. I took my umbrella and quickly got out and ran across the street to a shelter.

Before long, a tow truck(拖車) happened to pass by the street. The driver kindly offered to help me. At that moment, I really needed car pulled out quickly, so I trusted the stranger. He pulled my car and drove me home. After he had dropped my car off, he also helped me check the engine. He said the engine was most likely flooded, but fortunately there was no water inside the car.

Although many years have passed, I still remember that stormy day and the warm-hearted stranger clearly.

閱讀下面短文,并用英語句子回答問題(請注意問題后的字數要求)10分）

Words can hurt

I remember the pain most vividly. My stomach was sick, my heart hurt, and my eyes stung(刺痛的) from holding back tears.

“you know, Autumn,” my friend Nick said, “Lisa and Andrea were just talking about you.” I immediately got nervous. “They said that the only reason you start on the basketball team is because the coach （教練）likes you .It’s not because you’re good.” I might be sick. “They said they’re tired of you always getting what you want.”

I struggled to keep myself from crying, sinking（下沉） to my knees on the cold floor. After Nick told me everything my supposed best friends said about me, I was hurt.

Lisa and Andrea came in from lunch break acting as if nothing had happened . Lisa was still my deskmate, and Andrea was still my partner for our history project.

I was amazed at their ability to pretend we had the perfect friendship, especially since they’d said such hurtful things.

I was a freshman in high school, and I felt like I didn’t have a friend in the world, all because of a rumor（謠言）.

The tongue can be our worst enemy. Rumors harm confidence（信心） and separate close friends. They are like sharp knives, cutting one’s dignity（尊嚴） into pieces. When we say unkind things about others, we’re thrusting(插) knives into their hearts.

So how was I to act next? When Lisa and Andrea pretended our friendship hadn’t changed, I thought of attacking them back. But instead, I told them directly that they had hurt me. Lisa started crying and Andrea was speechless. I know they were both sorry for what they had said. They apologized, and I forgave them with grace(優(yōu)雅). Sure, things were a little awkward(尷尬) at first, but soon enough everything was back to the way it had been before.

I still deal with gossip（流言）, sometimes as a recipient（接受者） and sometimes as a participant（參與者）. But the more I learn about love, the more I realize the importance of encouraging others- sometimes gossip never does.

1.What word can exchange the underlined word in para1?

______________________________________________________

2.Why was the author hurt in the passage?(within 10words)

________________________________________________________

3.Which sentence in the passage is closest in meaning to the following one?

“I frankly told them that their rumor had made me painful.”

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

4.What did her friends do at last when they heard the author’s frank speech?(within 5 words)

________________________________________________________

5.Use one sentence to describe the author’s character.（within 10 words）

_____________________________________________________________________
