二、阅读理解(每小题3 分, 共30 分)

A

I asked my dad if I had ever made him cry before because I couldn't remember

ever seeing him cry.

“There was once,” he said.

He told me that when I was one year old, he put a pen, a piece of paper money

and a toy in front of me. He wanted to see which one I would pick. It’s a tradition that

a lot of Chinese people do when their kids are one year old. According to this tradition,

it shows what the kid will value most when he or she grows up. For example, if the

kid takes the pen, it means he or she will be an intelligent person in the future. If the

kid takes the money, it means he or she will value money more than others and

become rich. If the kid takes the toy, it means he or she will like fun things and play a

lot.

My father was doing it because he was curious (好奇的). It was interesting for

him to see which one I would pick.

He said that I just sat there and stared at the three things. He sat across from me

and waited to see the result.

According to him, I moved toward him and he held his breath. Then I pushed

everything aside and went right into his arms. Tears (泪水) came to his eyes. He didn't

realize that he was one of the choices.

And that was the first and only time I made him cry.

11. How many choices did the father prepare?

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

12. According to the tradition, if the kid takes the pen, it means he or she will be

_______.

A. rich B. intelligent C. humorous D. successful

13. Which one did the writer finally pick?

A. His father.

C. The money.

B. The pen.

D. The toy.

14. The father felt ________ after the writer pushed everything aside and went into

his arms.

A. curious B. nervous C. relaxed D. moved

15. Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?

A. A Father’s Warm Hug

B. Joyful Tears for an Old Tradition

C. Different Choices of a Father

D. A Tradition for a Kid’s First Birthday

B

Shyness is a kind of fear. People who are shy always worry too much about what

people think of them or embarrass themselves in some way in front of others. How

can we overcome (克服) shyness?

Have a good posture (姿势)

The way a person holds themselves says a lot about that person. People with

sloped (倾斜的) shoulders don’t think of themselves as important. So stand up

straight, shoulders back, keep your head up, and always make eye contact (接触). By

practicing a good posture, you will feel you have the ability to do things well.

Increase your walking speed

You can tell if a person is confident (自信的) by the way he walks. People who

walk in a slow way, and look at the ground while walking usually have no confidence

in themselves. While people who have confidence in themselves walk faster. That is

because they have important things to do, friends to meet or places to go. So walk a

little faster, head held up, and look straight ahead.

Do some exercise

Exercise increases your energy in the body. That will put you in a more positive

(积极的) state of mind. By having exercise, you will feel sure of yourself. Think

about it: it is better to do some exercise than just watch TV all day.

Do things that make you feel good about yourself

There can be something that you really like doing, such as going to the theater,

listening to music, traveling or helping someone out with a problem.

16. According to the passage, what is a good posture?

It’s probable that you talk to friends more than you talk to

your parents. , most of us want parents’ help, advice,

5

and support at times. But talking to the parents may be difficult or terrible —

especially when it comes to certain subjects. Here are some suggestions to make it

easier.

Talk about everyday stuff (日常生活) and do it every day. 37.有的事情做得越多,

它就会变得越简单。Talking to parents about everyday stuff builds a bond (纽带) that

can help you discuss something more serious with them later.

Find something to chat (聊天) about each day. Talk about how your team did at

the sports meet. Share what one of your teachers said. Even small talk about what’s

for dinner can help improve your relationship. It’s never too late to start. If your

relationship with your parents makes you feel nervous, try getting into conversations

slowly. Talk about how well your little sister is doing in math. Chatting with parents

every day not only keeps the present relationship strong, but also can help a

might-be-worse relationship get better.

When parents feel connected to your daily life, they can be there for you if

something is really important.
