24、   It was September. I had just entered Grade Six. As a shy boy, I chose to be all alone reading books during the breaks while most of my classmates were eager to make new friends. And I was doing well until the third lesson on the first day.

A teacher had us fill out a questionnaire (问卷) with "get to know you" questions. I thought she would read them privately, so I felt safe to share who I was. However, after the teacher collected the papers, she mixed them up and passed them to the class. One by one, we read out the student's name and then our two favorite answers. My paper went to a mean kid. His "favorite answers" of mine were the two worst ones to be read out loud.

The first question was "What's your favorite movie?" While other kids wrote the latest movies, my answer was "The Wizard of Oz (绿野仙踪)." It was a film made in 1939. The next question was "Where would you like to travel?" The others had said "Australia" or "Japan." I wrote, "Wherever a good book takes me." A loud laugh broke out immediately.

My face burned. I stared at my schoolbag. How I wished I could disappear inside it!

But then, something amazing happened. A voice from the back of the room said, "Guys, cut it out!" It was Michael, a popular boy. The room went silent.

Michael then turned to the teacher, "Why are you letting this happen? What is the point if we are making fun of each other?"

Fifteen years have passed since then. I don't remember the teacher or the mean kids. But Michael was the hero in my eyes. I can't forget how it felt when he spoke up for me.

【1】From the first two paragraphs, we know that the writer ________.

A.was the shyest in class B.showed great interest in reading

C.was good at his lessons D.felt too nervous to write anything

【2】The teacher had the students write down the answers to ________.

A.let them know each other B.find out the cleverest kid

C.learn to be friendly to classmates D.introduce the most popular movie

【3】It can be inferred that the writer was laughed at because ________.

A.he made his favorite film in 1939 B.both of his answers were wrong

C.he gave his answers quite differently D.his classmates didn't like him

【4】What might be the best title for the passage?

A.The hero in my eyes B.The mean kids

C.Two difficult questions D.An important survey

25、Imagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain.

We all judge (评判) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who takes too long of a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger matters, such as a person who behaves selfishly or hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog (or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel threatened(威胁). We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for another’s behaviour.

Although judgment is a natural reaction(反应), try to catch yourself before you speak, for you can’t get your words back. Make a short stop. Try to change your thought into a positive(正面的) one. After all, like that dog in the trap, we really don’t know the reasons for someone’s behaviour.

When someone disagrees with us or somehow makes our life difficult, remember that it’s usually not about us. It may be about their pain or struggle (挣扎). Why not give others the right to express their doubts? “Never underestimate the pain of a person,” Will Smith said, “because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others.”

【1】The writer talks about the dog in the first paragraph mainly to ________.

A．give an example

B．make a comparison

C．share a good story

D．set the background

【2】According to the writer, we usually judge others ________.

A．over big matters instead of small ones

B．after thinking carefully about their situation

C．about the real reasons behind their behaviour

D．for our own survival when feeling threatened

【3】What does the underlined sentence “Never underestimate the pain of a person” mean?

A．Never believe others have pain.

B．Never pay attention to others’ pain.

C．Never think others’ pain is bigger than it really is.

D．Never think others’ pain is smaller than it really is.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．The best way to judge

B．Too late to judge

C．Think twice before you judge

D．You’ve got a reason to judge

26、   It was Mother’s Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn’t go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind. “I’ll send Mum some roses (玫瑰).”

While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam?” he asked. The salesgirl told him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen (一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨). She told him they were much cheaper than roses.

“No, I have to have red roses,” he said, “My mum was badly ill last year and I didn’t spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special. It has to be roses. Roses are her favorite.”

After hearing this, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the salesgirl said, “Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you two.” Taking the roses, the young man jumped with joy. He thanked John, and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty-five dollars John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the salesgirl to send them to his mother.

As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon he realized it was not a park but a cemetery(墓地). Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses, “Mum, oh, Mum, why didn’t I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”

Seeing this, John turned and quickly walked back to the shop. He would take the flowers home himself.

27、   As a boy I was always small for my age. I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. As a result, I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn't want their younger brother listening to their conversations either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten.

I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I hardly saw my own friends outside of school. I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt a single tear coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well. Even though (尽管) he didn't know me he greeted me like a long lost friend, licking (舔) my chin and sitting beside me on the spring grass. It must have been at least an hour that I patted and talked to this four-legged angel (天使). He let me pour out all my troubles and shared my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye and ambled off either to Heaven or his home. I went back inside feeling happy, knowing that no matter what life may hold I was loved. Now over 40 years later I still remember that angel with a smile.

I believe that God sent him at that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me. There is nothing more important than knowing we are loved. When we are loved, we will learn to love others. Learning to love helps us to understand ourselves and other people better.

【1】The underlined phrase "left out" most probably means "________" in Chinese.

A.被处理的 B.被厌恶的 C.被冷落的 D.被鄙视的

【2】The writer shared his troubles and thoughts with the dog because ________.

A.it was his friend B.it could understand him

C.it looked like an angel D.it was friendly to him

【3】The writer wrote the story to ________.

A.encourage people to talk about their troubles

B.show that knowing you are loved is the most Important

C.tell people they should treat animals friendly

D.share his unforgettable experience with us

If you like watching movies, you must know Oscar (奥斯卡). It is one of the most famous m【1】 awards (奖) in the world. Lots of actors and actresses all dream of w【2】 the Oscar award.

Oscar welcomes movies, directors, actors and actresses all over the world, but some people s【5】 Hollywood is run by “white men”. W【6】 did they say so?
