My dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement. But we knew he loved us... he just had his own way of showing it.

When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived. Each family had their own campsite with water and electric, and you basically parked your camper there from May through October. Most "Seasonals" visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional weeklong stay. There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends. Of course, many of them were boys.

We kids paired up with our little boyfriends or girlfriends, and we'd hold hands as we'd walk around the campground. We'd play ping-pong, have some snacks, and play songs. Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change. You'd see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before. You know how it is when you're a teen — a three-week relationship is a really long time.

So, needless to say, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys. But every single one of them had something in common... they'd all received The Evil Eye.

The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing. One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess with me. It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser（激光）beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys' brains.

"You will not put your hands on my daughter... You will not kiss my daughter... You will not even whisper sweet nothings into my daughter's ear."

I remember one night in particular, walking with a boy around the campground after dark. We came from one direction, and my dad from the other. The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick, "See ya later."

Yes, the Evil Eye. Best way ever to keep wandering teen boy hands away from your daughters.

1. The Evil Eye in the passage implies that__________.

A. Dad gets angry easily B. Dad’s eyes are like evil’s

C. Dad’s eyes are ugly-looking D. Dad’s eyes are protective to his daughter

2. The underlined words “mess with” in paragraph 5 most probably means_________.

A. cause trouble B. make untidy C. get married to D. talk to

3.A. As teenagers, we went camping every weekend.

B. We made lots of friends during the seasonal camping.

C. We had regular boyfriends or girlfriends and enjoyed ourselves.

D. The boy dropped my hand and turned away because he loved The Evil Eye.

4.It can be inferred from the passage that the author ___________.

A. is a teenage girl who loves her father

B. is a teenage boy who hates his father

C. is now an adult who has come to understand her father’s love

D. used to be a naughty boy who changed girlfriends now and then

Mr. Templat was a teacher that I will never forget. I truly believe the teen years were the hardest time of my life. At that time, as a girl, I hated it when my parents asked me directly about my problems, making me more comfortable. I also remember many times when Mr. Templat would take me aside and talk to me. He had a special way of drawing out what the problem was. Every time he talked with me, I felt better

He had a way of making his classes enjoyable. We always got the highest marks in math in our grade with his teaching. If there was a big world ball game on the radio, we would drop everything and he would put the name on so we could all enjoy it. That’s just the way he is.

Teens often hear things on TV or from adults about world problems that can frighten them. Now it is terrorism. Back in my teen years, it was the cold war. It worried me so much that I thought each day would be my last. Mr. Templat knew how much it troubled his students. He opened the subject up to discussion. He gave us a way to express our greatest fears and helped us understand war and politics. “One can feel afraid however brave he is.” We were told.

When I think back to those special days, I appreciate that he helped me through such a difficult time in my life.

56. To learn about the problems the writers had, Mr Templat would _________________.

A. ask her about the problems directly

B. wait until she told him about them

C. ask her parents about the problems without letting her know

D. ask her about them without making her feel uncomfortable

57. From the second paragraph, we learn that __________________.

A. Mr. Templat was a very serious man

B. the students could do whatever they like in Mr. Templat’s class

C. the students like Mr. Templat’s teaching very much

D. the students were more interested in sports than in their studies

58. What does the underlined part “the subject” in the third paragraph most probably refer to?

A. War and politics. B. World history. C. Terrorism. D. The cold war.
