Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 55 when I was in high school.
The test was the final for a course. I remember waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr. Right passed out our papers one by one. It was a rather difficult test. I heard my classmates groaning(發(fā)牢騷), and I could tell by the groans that the scores weren’t looking good.
Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to draw attention, was my score, 55!
I lowered my head, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see.
“The scores were not very good, none of you passed,” Mr. Right said. “The highest score in the class was a 55.”
A 55. That’s me!
Suddenly my sad look didn’t look so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot better.
I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My father knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, “How did you do in your test?”
“I made a 55,” I said.
A frown (皺眉) now stood on my father’s face. I knew I had to explain immediately. “But Dad, I had the highest score in the class,” I proudly stated. I thought that explanation would make a difference.
“You failed!” my father replied.
“But it’s the highest!” I insisted.
“I don’t care what scores others had, but you failed. What matters is what you do!” my father firmly said.
For years, my father was always that way. It didn’t matter what others did, it only mattered what I did and that I did it excellently.
We often don’t understand the wisdom (智慧) of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents’ shoes. My father’s words have carried me throughout life.
【小題1】In class, to hide my score from my classmates, I ___________ .

A.lowered my head B.covered my score up

My earliest memory of dad is grabbing (抓住) his hand while we walked together. As I       older, I remembered my father and I listened to many basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep                the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet (計(jì)分表) with the       score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.
On cold mornings my father would drive his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered (分送) the bread to the stores. The       and the warmth from the bread made me hungry and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.
My father would attend all my games. One night before an important game my father told me          that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour       from his route. The next day as the game time drew near, I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and       saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium. He tried to make the game. I’ll always remember that.
Years later I became a teacher. I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I       up the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing was very important to me. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the         way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my       in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, spirit and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did. From that day I started. I’ll always remember that!

I bought a jasmine(茉莉花)plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom(開花)and the sweet smell would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.
One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me.

Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away.

A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the correct time and is never late for anything.
An unpunctual man never does what he has to do at the right time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be got back. Time is more useful than material(物質(zhì)) things. In fact, time is life itself. An unpunctual man is always wasting his most important things as well as others’. An unpunctual person is always saying unhapppily that he finds no time to answer letters or return calls. But the man who really has much to do is very careful of his time. He knows that he can not finish all his work unless he carefully does every piece of work.
Being unpunctual is the sign of disrespect(不尊重) towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the time when he should be there, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be thought as a great disrespect to the host and all the other guests.
Not like a punctual person, an unpunctual one can’t do his duty wonderfully, whether it is public or personal. Imagine how it would be if those who should do important tasks failed to be on time. A man who is known to be often unpunctual is never believed by his friends or fellow men.
【小題1】The Chinese meaning of the word “punctual” in this passage is probably “______”

A.聽話的 B.守時(shí)的 C.守紀(jì)律的 D.能干的
【小題2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.An unpunctual person often has more time.
B.An unpunctual person has more work to do.
C.A punctual person often has a busy life.
D.A punctual person often does his work wonderfully.

A.in a hurry B.a(chǎn)fter the host C.a(chǎn)t a decided time D.before other guests

A.saves time for others B.leaves his family and friends
C.gets his chances and knowledge D.loses his time and good name

When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “ I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students has said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mother love you?” “ Of course,” they answered.
“ How do you know?” was my logical question. They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned. So mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as “I love you”. “Then do you say‘I love you’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different responses. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
One of my favourite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “ Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
【小題1】 Chinese people prefer to show love by __________.

A.saying “I love you”B.cooking
C.getting good gradesD.doing something helpful
【小題2】 The underlined word “stunned” mean________ in Chinese.
A.好笑B.難受C.震驚D.有趣
【小題3】 In paragraph 4, what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging?
A.She is meeting her daughter at the door.
B.She loves her daughter and misses her.
C.She is glad that she has more time to herself.
D.She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
【小題4】 Which of the following statements is RIGHT?
A.Chinese people never show love to their mothers.
B.Chinese students express love to their mothers by studying hard and trying to get good jobs.
C.In foreign countries people have great depth of feelings to say “I love you”.
D.People from different countries will never understand each other.
【小題5】 What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Say “I love you” more to your family.
B.Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people.
C.Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.
D.Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.

In April, 2013, I visited Yangzhou.
Ge Garden is very beautiful and peaceful. The ticket has a map on the back of it that I didn’t noticed until I had already left. But to be honest, I don’t think that map is very useful because it isn’t very clear an tailed. In my opinion, it’s better to improve it. Compared with He Garden, the map on the back of the ticket for He Garden is much clearer, more detailed and more useful. However, in the room that has the picture of the family members, there is only Chinese, no English, so my advice is to add English in interesting places. I got lost in the Slender West Lake. I spent about 30 minutes just trying to get out of one area. I think they need more signs posted along the trails. I like the Slender West Lake best, as she is so pretty! The ladies that were sweeping were very sweet. They always smiled at me and said hello, so it was nice.
Taking a taxi is the most efficient(有效率的) and quickest way to get around Yangzhou. I didn’t have a problem getting to the places which I’d like to go to while using a taxi. The driver was very friendly. The fare isn’t too high, either. But I didn’t enjoy taking the bus. The bus ride to the Mastixia Bay (茱萸灣公園) took long although I only had to pay one yuan. It was also hard finding where Bus 32 was. I tried asking some people in English but they couldn’t understand me, so I had to ask in simple Chinese that I only know buy that still didn’t work. I spent about one hour walking around the city to look for Bus 32. The tricycle(三輪車) was nice, but it was a little too expensive for a small distance. Maybe I was ripped off by the guy who rode for me, but it was an enjoyable ride. I felt like I was part of the garden city more.
Over all I am satisfied with Yangzhou and will recommend it to others.
【小題1】How many places of interest are mentioned in the passage?

A.Three B.Four C.Five D.Six
【小題2】The underlined phrase “ripped off” in Paragraph 3 may mean “________”.
A.優(yōu)惠 B.退款 C.騙錢 D.免費(fèi)
【小題3】Which of the following I NOT the writher’s advice?
A.English should be added in interesting places.
B.Everyone in Yangzhou should speak English.
C.The Slender West Lake needs more signs along the trails.
D.The maps on the tickets for Ge Garden need improving.

Are you a gourmand(美食主義者)? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program?“A Bite of China(舌尖上的中國)” is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by Chinese central television. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:
Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures, and China is no exception(例外). The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born, parents may hold a "red egg and ginger party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, for example, an even number(1,3,5,---) for a girl, and an odd number(2,4,6---) if a boy has been born.
Noodles are a symbol of longlife in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan.
The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素),such as eating habits and the quality of eating.
【小題1】A bite of China is _______________.

A.a(chǎn) bookB.a(chǎn) documentary
C.a(chǎn) guide bookD.a(chǎn) newspaper
【小題2】How many kinds of traditional food are mentioned in the passage?
A.twoB.three
C.fourD.five
【小題3】A girl has been born in Mr. Li’s home. How many red eggs may he pass out to his friends according to Chinese tradition?
A.two eggsB.none
C.three eggsD.six eggs
【小題4】Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?
A.We can cut birthday noodles off in China if we think they are too long.
B.It is impolite to server a whole fish last at a party in China.
C.The program lasts for one hour.
D.There are many kinds of Zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival.
【小題5】What does the writer mean in the last paragraph?
A.The writer thinks the program is too long.
B.The writer thinks the program has more meanings inside than the story itself.
C.The writer thinks everyone can have a good eating habit after watching the program.
D.The writer thinks the program has brought many kinds of delicious food to us.
