17.Even before my father left us,my mother had to go back to work to support our family.Once I came out of the kitchen,complaining,"Mom,I can't peel (削皮)potatoes.I have only one hand."
Mom never looked up from sewing."You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,"she told me."And don't ever use that as an excuse for anything again!"
In the second grade,our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars,swinging from one high steel rod (杆) to the next.When it was my turn,I shook my head.Some kids behind me laughed,and I went home crying.
That night I told Mom about it.She hugged me,and I saw her"we'll see about that"look.The next afternoon,she took me back to school.At the deserted playground,Mom looked carefully at the bars.
"Now,pull up with your right arm,"she advised.She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow.Day after day we practiced,and she praised me for every rung (横杠)I reached.I'll never forget the next time,crossing the rungs,I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night,after a dance at my new junior high,I lay in bed sobbing.I could hear Mom come into my room."Mom,"I said,weeping,"None of the boys would dance with me."
For a long time,I didn't hear anything.Then she said,"Oh,honey,someday you'll be beating those boys off with a bat."Her voice was faint and cracking.I peeked (偷看)out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks.Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf.She had never let me see her tears.

8.I was the oldest of five children back in the 60's.We lived in a nice little three-bedroom bungalow(平房)in Michigan.Mom and Dad worked so hard,yet always found the time to spend with us.The only place they could take five active children to was the drive-in(汽车影院)movies!
We always looked forward to going to the drive-in!Mom would fill a big bag with home-made popcorn.On the way there,Dad would make a special stop at the penny candy store,where we were all allowed to fill a little brown bag with all kinds of penny candy.We were so excited,as we carried our treasuresback to the car,knowing we couldn't eat it until the car-toon began.
We would get there early,so that we could play on the playground,right under the big screen.As soon as it started to get dark,the screen lit up,and we would race bake to the car to get our candy.
There were always two cartoons playing before the movie,like Felix the Cat,The Coyote,and Tom and Jerry.But what was just as exciting was the ticking clock advertisement for the refreshment stand,with dancing hot dogs,candy and ice cream.That came on right before the movie.It was all that five kids could hope for,and by then,stay awake for.
We would get home around 2 am,pretty late for us.Mom helped us drag ourselves and our pillows to our beds and dad carried in the little ones.
I was disappointed the day they closed the last drive-in in our town.It will always hold special memories for us-those days of penny candy.

12.Have you ever been afraid?Do thunder and lightning make your heart beat faster?Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher says you will be given a test,or your palms sweat when it's your turn to give your report in front of the class.Perhaps you get butterflies in your stomach when you see the bully(仗势欺人者) who chooses you.
We all have fears sometimes.That's true no matter how big we are or how brave we can be.Fear of getting too close to a campfire may save you from a bad burn.And fear of getting a bad grade on a test may make you study hard.Being nervous can also sharpen your senses and help you perform better during a track meet.Some people even enjoy being a little scared.That's why they like to watch scary movies.
Usually,our bodies go into fight only when there is something to fear.However,sometimes this happens when there doesn't seem to be anything to be frightened about.When you feel scared but there doesn't seem to be a clear reason,that's called anxiety.For some kids,the feeling of anxiety or worry can happen at any time.For others,it might appear only at certain times,like when they are leaving their home or family to go somewhere.For some people,this feeling of anxiety happens almost all the time and gets in the way of what they want to do.
Tell your parents if your anxiety becomes strong and is getting in the way of what you want to do.Your parents can take you to a doctor,who can help to find out if a medical problem is making you feel anxious.But you can also try these ways to kill the feeling yourself.

C.Fear is a sign of being sick and unhealthy.

B.It often appears before an important exam.
C.It sometimes doesn't seem to have a clear reason.
D.It appears when people face some frightening things.
35.What will be probably talked about in the next paragraph?C
A.The great harm fear does to people's health.
B.The person to turn to when people feel anxious.

2.While applying to college may seem easy,getting in can be tough!When you apply for college,you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit.Here are three steps to take when applying to colleges for the best chances at getting into the best college for you.
Step 1:Making A List Of Colleges To Apply To
With over 6,000 colleges in the United States,the first step in applying to college is to do some research and make a college list.This process will be different for everyone.The number of colleges you apply to can vary,from applying to 1 school (not recommended) to 30 schools (not recommended),each applicant can choose how many colleges they apply to.Many limit the number because applications are accompanied by a fee.
Step 2:Splitting The List Into Target,Reach and Safety Schools
In general,students will want to apply to three types of schools:Target,Reach and Safety schools.It is up to you how many applications you send,but a good mix would be more target than reach,and at least one safety.You will need to take your list,and now decide which are your top picks,which are attainable for you academically,which are affordable for you only with aid,and refine your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success.Talk to an admissions counselor at your high school if you have questions about this.
Step 3:Completing and Sending Applications to Colleges
Once your list is complete you are ready to apply to college by completing and sending in applications!College applications take time to complete--you have to write essays,ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schools--so stay organized!All colleges will require these types of application materials,so start thinking about these items well before October or December.Once you complete and send them,then you have successfully applied to college.

36.It can be learned from the first paragraph thatA.
A.you should be cautious to pick up the right college
B.you don't have to think twice before applying to college
C.once you apply to a college,you'll be admitted to it easily
D.each applicant should choose the best college for their ideal
37.To make a list of colleges,youB.
A.should consider more Safety schools
B.had better take your academy into account
C.are supposed to choose merely one most fit
D.are required to pick out more than 30 colleges
38.Which of the following statements is WRONG?C
A.One should clarify the list according to one's abilities.

C.One doesn't have to send his test scores to the intended college.
D.Teachers'recommendations are included in application materials.

9.In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don't get to see this soft side of others.Often,we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.
Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning (按喇叭)or even shouting at me.At that moment,I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to the other drivers,"l have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can."And everyone understood.Several times,I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way.But those are few and far between.More often,it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we're scared.

36.The author has discovered that people will feel happy whenA.
A.they offer their help
B.they receive others'help
C.they feel others'kindness
D.they show their weakness
37.The author feels sad sometimes becauseD.
A.he has a soft heart
B.he relies much on others
C.some people pretend to be kind
D.some people fail to see the kindness in others
38.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?B
A.They speeded up to pass.
B.They waited with patience.
C.They tried their best to help.
D.They put on their flashlights too.
39.In this passage,the author advises us toC.
A.handle problems by ourselves
B.accept help from others
C.admit our weakness
D.show our bravery
40.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?B
A.A Wheelchair Experience.
B.Weakness and Kindness.
C.Weakness and Strength.
D.A Driving Experience.
