Perhaps the only test score that I remember is that 55 I got when I was in

high school.

The test was the last one of the term. I remember waiting nervously as my

teacher Mr. Right gave out our papers one after another. It was a rather difficult

test. I heard my classmates groaning (叹息), and I could guess by the groans that

the scores weren’t looking good.

Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers circled to

catch attention was my score, 55! I let my head go down, and covered the score

up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see. “The

scores were not very good. None of you passed,” Mr. Right said. “The highest

score in the class was a 55.”

A 55. That’s me! Suddenly my sad look didn’t feel so bad. I had the highest

score. I was getting a little better.

I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My mother knew

that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, “How did you

do in your test?” “I got 55,”I said.

A frown ( 皱眉) appeared on my mother’s face. I knew I had to explain at

once. “But Mum, I had the highest score in the class,” I said proudly. “You failed!

Dave!” my mother replied. “But it’s the highest!” I insisted ( 坚持).“I don’t care

what scores others had, but you failed. The important thing is what you do!” my

mother said in a strong way.

For years, my mother was always in that way. My mother’s words have

made a big difference to my life.

36. When did the test take place?

A. Before the start of the term. B. At the beginning of the term.

C. In the middle of the term. D. At the end of the term.

37. Who passed the test?

A. Some students. B. Few students.

C. All students. D. No student.

38. How might Dave feel when he got his paper?

A. He felt better. B. He felt terrified.

C. He felt excited. D. He felt sad.

39. Which word can best describe Dave’s mother?

What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the exam? Right. A

pen.

Though it is small, the pen has changed the history. It has improved the trade

of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human

beings than any other tool.

Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the

wheels, the introduction of steam engine (蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these

have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has

taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and

development of the society.

In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing. The

lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when

paper was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen.

It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts

(思想).

The pen is very useful. We cannot sign (签字) a bill or write a letter or buy a

house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a

pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their exams with it

as well.

Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at

school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till

we have signed. A pen records (记录) the important events in our life.

Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful tool that man

owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.

41. What does the word “mountains” in the third paragraph refer to?

A. Something uses electricity.

B. Something about the steam engine.

C. Something stops the development of the society.

D. Something about the famous letters in the world.

42. When did the lawyers start to write the law of the country?

A. Before thinkers’ thoughts were changed. B. When paper was first used.
