We are going to invite a N________ as our guide.
I remember vividly that first English class in the last term of high school. We boys (there were no girls in the school) were 16 expectantly for the new teacher to appear. Before long, through the door came a tall ordinary-looking man 17 about 40. He said shyly, “Good afternoon, gentlemen.” His 18 had a surprising tone (语气) of respect, almost 19 he were addressing （向---讲话）the Supreme Court (最高法院)20 a group of youngsters. He wrote his 21 on the blackboard---Wilmer T. Stone-- ,and 22 sat on the front of his desk.. “Gentlemen,” he began, “We are now this 23 ---your last---to continue your study of 24 . I know we shall 25 learning with and from one another. We are going to learn 26 about journalism and how to write your weekly school paper. And 27 we are going to try to 28 the joy of good literature (文学). Maybe some of us will be really 29 in reading and writing. A man who reads 30 a happy life. A man who doesn’t read 31 on the earth with a blindfold(眼罩). If I have to put all my 32 into a single word, it would be: ‘browse(广泛浏览)’”. Mr. Stone went on like that, 33 in a friendly and understanding tone. The 34 of the class came much too soon. And we boys had to 35 the classroom with an unexpected feeling of excitement.

Monday: Here I am, in the middle of nowhere. This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start. It’s raining and the tent leaks. The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still can’t understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into this? When we get home—if we ever get home—he’s going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree（狂购）at the mall!
Tuesday: Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We’re camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn’t see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging out everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily.
Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!
Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section that Carol said looked “fishy”. She had a pack rod(竿), which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch so we put them back in the stream.
Friday: I can’t believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful. We’re already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river. It’s hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.

It’s not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude and learn from them. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time.
As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn’t like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched(丰富) my life in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. They might seem so huge at the time, but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps(碰撞) on our road to success, we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!

D. make it difficult for you to do something
2.How does the author now feel when remembering what her parents did for her in the past?
A. She is fearful B. She is grateful
C. She feels trapped D. She feels hateful
3.We can know from the last paragraph that _____________.
A. life without challenges is dull
B. life needs no pains but sunshine and happiness
C. we should give up faced with challenges as the future is ours
D. we shouldn’t easily pay a little hard work in growing up
4.The purpose of the passage is to tell readers____________.
A. life is full of hardships
B. growing pains can turn into growing gains in a positive way
C. everyone is painful in growing up
D. everyone should do what they don’t like when young
