On the first day of the eighth grade,I waited at the stop for the school bus. When it arrived,I got on and said hello to the bus driver,Mr Rolland. Then I noticed one little girl called Amy. She was different from everyone else on the bus. "Don't talk to Amy," warned Lauren,who sat beside me. "Or everybody will make fun of you."

Amy had many physical differences―her eyes weren't straight,her glasses were an inch thick,and she had really uneven teeth. Every day as we rode to and from school,kids would shout insults at Amy.

"God,what a strange face!Stop looking at me!" "Mr Rolland!Amy took off her glasses,and now her eyes are scaring me. Make her put them back on!" they would say. For a while I shouted my share of insults,just to fit in. After all,I didn't want the other kids to treat me the same way they did to Amy. But while I was insulting her,my heart ached for the girl.

I began to pity her. Then I wanted to stand up for her. I just didn't know how to stop my schoolmates until the night of our class rollerskating party. Our whole class was there,including Amy. Amy didn't know how to skate,but I could see how much she wanted to have fun like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. I slowly pulled her away from the wall,and together we began around the skating ring. I never said a word to her,and she never spoke to me. She just smiled and every once in a while she would laugh in excitement.

On the school bus the next morning there was much news about Amy and me skating together. But nobody insulted her any more. When the school year ended,my family moved away. And I never heard from Amy again. But I've always hoped that I changed her life for the better.

It's very early in the morning and I'm sitting outside. It's also very cold and dark. With me is Jim Nightingale,and he is the reason I'm up so early. He passes me a hot cup of coffee. "Not long to wait now," he says. I hope he's right.

After a few minutes there is a very weak light in the east,and then I hear a bird singing. It sings very loudly and very clearly. "That's the robin (知更鳥) ，"says Jim. A few more birds start singing with the robin,and Jim knows the names of them,too. Half an hour later,there are more and more birds singing,and it's very loud!Suddenly,all around us is the sound of the birdsong. This is the dawn chorus (晨鳴) ，and it's beautiful.

"Wow,this is amazing！" I tell Jim,who is smiling. "Is there a dawn chorus every morning?"

"Birds can sing any time of the year,but the best time is the end of winter and during the spring. This is when the birds sing most."

"Really? Then,why do they sing?" I ask.

"Well,there are two reasons," explains Jim. "Most of the songbirds are males. They want to find a female (雌性) ，so they sing to show how strong they are. The female birds just listen and choose the best singer!The birds also sing to tell other males to go away. They need their own area. They don't like sharing with another male."

I listen to the birds,the songs seem too much to me. "Do the birds sing a special song in the morning?"

"That's a good question," replies Jim. "The successful birds have many kinds of calls and songs. Sometimes they copy the songs of other birds. This makes it sound like there are many birds in that place already and other males stay away. Also the female likes songs with different notes. Some birds,for example the European wren,have songs that contain over 700 different notes per minute！”

So,how does Jim know so much about birds? Well,he works as a volunteer for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. He is trying to help the birds live in the modern world. " More and more of the birds' habitat disappears every year. The sparrow,for example,was a very common bird in the UK,now it's in danger."

By now the sun is up and the birds are quiet. It's light so they can start looking for food; they need a big breakfast after all that singing！

   A. To visit her friend.

(   ) 12. When you hear a bird sing in the morning,it's most probably         .

   A. a robin   B. a sparrow

   C. a male bird   D. a female bird

(   ) 13. A bird sings early in the morning mainly         .

   A. to call a female's attention

   B. to fight with other males

   C. to find a place to live in

   D. to start looking for food

  In high school,the last year may be the most difficult but also the most important. Students are encouraged to work even harder and consider the universities they want to go to. In fact,working hard in that year has a great influence on which universities they will enter after they graduate from high school.

In the first term of my last year in high school,I did a good job on my study. I got up early every day and never left my homework until the last minute,and had a great amount of confidence to finish my high school with good grades. In my notebook I wrote down the grades I aimed to get;I often looked at them to encourage myself. I took part in tests online every day and went to the teachers for help regularly. I also had my elder sister help me with my English. My grades were getting better and better and I really finished the first term with great grades.

However,I did not keep my outstanding performance in the second term before my graduation. I tried playing a game on the Internet when I was bored one day. Gradually,I spent more and more time playing online games,because I was addicted to them. Therefore,I went to bed late,copied my classmates' homework often and could hardly learn anything. My final grades were surely not as great as I expected.

When I did graduate,I decided not to go to the graduation ceremony (畢業(yè)典禮) ，not for the grades I finally achieved,but for the idea that I wouldn't be comfortable if I were asked to receive my diploma        (文憑) in front of my classmates,teachers,parents and guests. At last,I stayed at home and played computer games instead of going to the ceremony.

It has been many years since I graduated from high school. Even now,I still regret (后悔) not working hard in the last term in high school and not going to my graduation ceremony.

   A. he was full of confidence

   B. his teachers helped him a lot

(   ) 7. The underlined phrase "was addicted to" in the third paragraph probably means

   A. depended on

   B. looked after

   C. was so interested in

   D. gave. . . up

(   ) 8. In the second term,the writer spent much time .

   A. asking his elder sister to help him with his English

   B. playing online games

   C. taking part in tests online every day
