On Friday, Shannon Grimm noticed that a 5-year-old girl, Priscilla, in her kindergarten class was really sad and depressed at school, because she was teased by some students, who said that her short hair made her look like a boy. “What is a better way to show them that you can look any way and still be true to yourself than to cut my own hair?” Grimm said to herself. After thinking deeply, she decided to cheer the student up by showing support, so she chopped her waist-length brown hair into the same pixie cut as Priscilla's. Walking into a grocery store or other public places with her new haircut did make Grimm feel awkward. However, she said the temporary discomfort was worth it because she was able to help Priscilla feel better about her appearance. “I don't want my students to ever feel like their confidence is down because of the way people look at them and say things to them.” Grimm said. At a school meeting last week, the little girl Priscilla presented Grimm with a medal for being her hero during a difficult time. More important to Grimm, her creative way works out. “Who's beautiful?” Grimm asked Priscilla later. “Me.” the girl responded with a smile. Although Grimm said she missed her long hair, she said the experience had allowed her to better understand Priscilla's feelings. “Sometimes you just have to experience it. You have to teach them and show them that you're there for them.” Her hair will grow back, but Grimm said she hopes to give a more lasting lesson to her students.” It doesn't matter what haircut you have,” she said. “You're beautiful no matter what.” 【1】What made Priscilla teased by her classmates? A.Her ugly face. B.Her low grades. C.Her rude manners. D.Her boyish hairstyle. 【2】How did Grimm help Priscilla? A.By cutting her own hair. B.By presenting Priscilla medal. C.By praising Priscilla in class. D.By criticizing Priscilla's classmates. 【3】Why did the little girl answer that she was beautiful? A.She became a hero. B.She regained confidence. C.She deserved long hair. D.She had a heroic teacher. 【4】What can be a suitable title for the text? A.A depressed little girl. B.A crying little girl. C.Short hair, more sadness. D.Short hair, loving heart. |

Recently, I started my first day of high school. I was panicking because I knew ninth grade would have higher expectations than eighth, and I wasn’t sure how I would do at taking on that challenge. The one thing that kept me calm was that my best friend is actually at my new school, so I have someone to talk to. My friend and I took the bus together and we talked the whole way there about how we thought the first day would turn out. When we entered the school, everyone was hugging and saying hi and I was awkwardly standing there and holding onto my friend’s bag through the crowd of people. When my friend and I had to separate, I didn’t want to go to class. When I did, I awkwardly stood at the door because I had no idea where to sit. I sat in the way back. My teacher seemed friendly so I was a little calm. Movies make high school seem cool. But from what I’ve seen, that’s not true. Everyone seems so friendly. My teachers seemed really nice and not scary or mean. My math teacher had a lot of energy, and my history teacher made jokes the whole time. They told us about the high expectations for their school and I was kind of worried because I came from a school where I didn’t have too much work or high expectations. While getting from class to class I was freaking out because I had no idea where to go. But it wasn’t that hard to find my classrooms after I asked someone. Overall, my first day wasn’t really what I expected. I expected strict teachers and work harder than I could take. I haven’t been in school too long, but so far the work has not been as hard as I expected. There was a lot of homework in the past few days. I didn’t think I could do this every night. It was really stressful for me to do it because I had little free time those nights. Even though there are a lot of challenges for me, I’m still only getting used to it. 【1】Why did the author “hold onto my friend’s bag” in Paragraph 2? A.Because only by this could he remove his confusion and fear. B.Because he was helpless and didn’t know what to do at that moment. C.Because he felt a bit curious about his new school and new classmates. D.Because he was so attached to his friend that he was unwilling to be separated. 【2】What does the underlined word “freaking out” in Paragraph 3 mean? A.adventurous B.anxious C.stressed D.impressed 【3】Which of the following statement is true? A.The author felt desperate about the first day of school. B.The author had difficulty adapting to new environment. C.Nice and friendly teachers calmed and attracted the author. D.The life of high school is the same as the author’s expectation. |

Growing pains and gains It’s not easy to grow up. Actually it’s far from easy. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude (态度), we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains! As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music, just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along, not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life. They’ve always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves. Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying, so live life to its fullest! We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong.Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps (凸块) on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains! 【1】According to Paragraph 1, we learn that when we are young,_________. A.life is full of joy B.life is easy for us C.we know we can stay young forever D.we sometimes can’t do things we like 【2】When the author was young, she was forced by her parents to________. A.take music lessons B.turn gains into pains C.look back on hardships D.live a successful life by suffering a lot 【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Growing pains are necessary for us to grow up. B.We all have to experience growing pains. C.A little hard work and sweat are harmful to us. D.Life without fear is a better choice for us. |

Each fall brings a bounty of opportunities that beckon you to become involved in your school community. 【1】 【2】 Clubs are probably the easiest and most direct route to getting involved. Typically, high schools have clubs that focus on a wide variety of topics. Do you have a great affinity for German films? 【3】 If you answered yes, then you are in luck! There are probably clubs for that. Usually, the best way to approach joining a club is attending an after-school fair at the beginning of the school year. Try out for a sport! If you have any interest in a sport your school offers, there is absolutely no harm done in trying out. The worst that can happen is that you don’t make it and have to try out next year. Sports teams are a great way to make friends with people who have similar interests. 【4】 Sports provide a boost in physical and emotional health. Volunteer! 【5】 It could be answering phones in the main office at school, running passes to students during your study, or even travelling abroad to provide international aid. My point is that volunteer work can be an incredible path to discover passions and shape your personality. All in all, if you’re looking for a fresh start, now is the time!
