     I still remember my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened.
On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and
practiced all the answers: "I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven't lived here since
I was two. I was living in Farley. It's about thirty miles away. I came back to London two
months ago." I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but
I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.
     No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground,
expecting someone to say "hello", but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name
and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all.
     My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn't stand
out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles
Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked
several boys if they knew Dickens' birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian,
the biggest in the class, said: "Timbuktu", and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked
me. I said: "Portsmouth", and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right.
This didn't make me very popular, of course.
     "He thinks he's clever," I heard Brian say.
     After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian's team, and he
obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be
the goalkeeper.
     "He's big enough and useless enough." Brian said when someone asked him why he
had chosen me.
     I suppose Mr. Jones, who served as the judge, remembered Dickens, too, because
when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and
he gave them a penalty (惩罚). As the boy kicked the ball to my right, I threw myself down
instinctively (本能地) and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were
injured and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.
     "Do you want to join my gang (帮派)?" he said.
     At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.

1．The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT " ".

A. How old are you?
B. Where are you from?
C. Do you want to join my gang?
D. When did you come back to London?

2．We can learn from the passage that .

A. boys were usually unfriendly to new students
B. the writer was not greeted as he expected
C. Brian praised the writer for his cleverness
D. the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper

3．The underlined part "I didn't stand out" in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not .

A. noticeable
B. welcome
C. important
D. foolish

4．The writer was offered a handkerchief because .

A. he threw himself down and saved the goal
B. he pushed a player on the other team
C. he was beginning to be accepted

At 4:00 A.M. on Sunday morning, my friend, Tim, awoke me. He was sleeping in the living room right next to the front door and said there was a man pounding on my front door and screaming. At first, I was like, "Shut up and leave me alone," but then I heard one of the scariest voices of my life. The man sounded of Spanish descent (血统), older, and in pain.

I was home alone for the week, so I had two guns loaded with bullets. I had a rifle (步枪) next to my bed and a shotgun next to my front door. I grabbed my rifle. Tim asked me, "What are you doing?"

"Getting my gun, what do you think I'm doing?" I asked.

As I headed down the hall towards the front door, I remembered Chad, my older brother, telling me to protect myself when he left. Immediately, I grabbed the shotgun and gave it to Tim. Thinking that it might scare the person off, I went to my back door and shot my rifle into the dark cold sky. However, this did not work. "Protect yourself, Sarah," kept going through my head. The man kept yelling and pounding on my door. I would have just opened the door, but I watched too many "America's Most Wanted" shows, where that is how they get the little girls to open the door. So, I then called 911 myself.

The operator said, "911. What is your emergency?"

I replied, "My name is Sarah Miller and I am at Juniper Lane in Hotchkiss and there is a man beating on my front door and telling me to let him in." That was the start of all the excitement. I continued to tell her what was going on and what had already gone on. Our conversation was still going when I heard the man walk off my door. During this time, the police were having a discussion of whether they should respond to the call. When I heard the man walk off my door, I thought that he was going to leave.

I was still on the phone when I heard the man in my basement. "Protect yourself, Sarah," went through my head again. The basement stairs lead right up to a door entering our house. We leave our garage door open to cool off our house when the weather is good. The man was yelling, "Help me" from the bottom of the stairs. I walked over and made sure the door was locked and made sure there was a bullet in the rifle. I stood there with the phone in one hand and my trusty old rifle in the other just waiting for him to start coming up the stairs.

My conversation with the operator went from "Hi, how are you now?" to "What are you doing to help me here?" About this time, the operator told me that the policeman should be at the bottom of my driveway, so I turned on all of the lights, inside and outside. I still had my rifle in my hands when the policeman walked up the stairs to my front door. "Did you see an older Spanish man walking down my driveway by any chance?" I asked him.

"Um, no," he answered. I then asked him if he had seen anyone in the basement, and again he said, "No". So at this time, he went back down the stairs and approached my garage. For some reason, I knew that there was still someone in there. I crouched (猫着腰) down to where I could see into the garage / basement area. As the policeman approached the basement, he yelled, "Whoa, put your hands up. Freeze."

"I’ve got you," were the first words out of my mouth; I don't know what I was thinking. After this happened, I realized that those words weren't exactly the smartest choice of words. About this time, another policeman pulled into my driveway with his lights on followed by a police officer. As I approached the basement with my rifle, I was worried about what I would see. What I saw will always stick with me forever. A poor twenty-nine year old Spanish man was crapping (拉屎) there, and I almost shot him because he was coming to my house to find help. His face was all bloody, his nose was broken, his clothes were torn, and worst of all, he didn't speak English, and none of the policemen who were there spoke Spanish. I had taken three years of Spanish before, so I translated what the Spanish guy, Jose, was saying to the policemen. About this time an ambulance came up my driveway with its lights on. So, I had three police cars and an ambulance, all with their lights on, in my driveway. I'm sure my neighbors all came out, since nothing had ever happened in my small community.

I did protect myself that night. My brother was right when he said that you could never be too careful. "Wake up Sarah. It's time for school," my mom said a couple of mornings later. That is how I prefer to be woken up. I will always have a loaded gun next to my bed after this incident.

55. The moment Tim awoke her, the author ______.

A. screamed B. felt annoyed C. heard the voice D. grabbed the rifle

56. Why did the author go to the back door and shot into the sky?

A. Because she wanted to scare the man off. B. Because she wanted to kill the man.

C. Because she wanted to call for help. D. Because she wanted to remind the police.

57. The Spanish man pounded the author’s door so early ______.

A. to practise speaking English B. to meet his old friend

C. to seek help D. to hide himself

58. By saying “That was the start of all the excitement”, maybe the author ______.

A. thought they talked too much exciting things

B. was excited that she could talk with the operator

C. was sure that the police would come

D. wanted to say their conversation lasted a long time

59. What did the author learn from the incident?

A. She regretted what she had done to the Spanish

B. She felt it fortunate to know a little Spanish

C. She thought it couldn’t be too careful about her safety.

D. She would never live alone in a big house.

60. Which of the following can be used as the title of this passage?
