"I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said 'yes' and it was announced again."
It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana — she was still on cloud nine.
"I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.
Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete. "She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."
One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot..."
As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.
When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."

【解析】这是一篇记叙文, 本文主要讲述的shelley的巨变。作为路易斯安那州妙龄小姐(Miss Louisiana Teen),她走遍了全州,向青少年宣扬醉酒驾车的祸害。作为美国妙龄小姐(Miss Teen USA)的任务,Shelley会继续向青少年宣扬安全驾驶,以及其他有益于青少年的事。
(1)考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004.”,她谈着自己在电视上赢得‘2004年美国Miss Teen'这一荣誉时的激动时刻”,再根据逻辑推测:四天后的Shelley仍然处在欣喜若狂的状态中,故选C。
(2)考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her.“她经历了这么多的困境,都克服了,因为她,我学习着克服生活中的不幸经历,学会了怎样继续前行。”可知,Shelley之所以把她的舞蹈老师当作模范,是因为老师的坚定意志,故选A。
(3)考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself.”不要让任何人改变你,和让你感到自信的人在一起,那样的话,就很容易活成你自己。,可知,Shelley给青少年的建议就是在朋友的支持下,做你自己,故选A。
