We moved to Elmont in 1956. I was 4 years old. Elmont was a wonderful place to grow up. There were lots of kids，great schools and we had a big yard. Having grown up a city kid, my father, Nicholas Denaro, believed that grass was not just to look at, but that children were meant to play on it. We played games and badminton there. A white fence separated our backyard from a small wood. My friends and I jumped the fence and climbed trees. My father had the most amazing hands. He could fix anything. He gave those amazing hands to his son, my younger brother, Frank, who also became handy around the house. But my father saved his green fingers for me. He grew flowers, tomatoes, strawberries and figs and he shared his love of gardening with me. Fourteen years ago, I went to a local nursery and purchased a fig tree for Dad for Father’s Day. My mother, Bridget Denaro, called it the best gift I could have given him. He planted it exactly in the middle of the front yard. He loved that tree and enjoyed delicious figs every year, except just after Sandy hit in 2012. He was so disappointed when cold weather just after the superstorm froze all the remaining figs. In 2015，my father died of aspirating pneumonia (呼吸性肺炎) at 97. We sold our family home of 61years last year. We left behind Dad's tree, full of figs waiting to ripen. We briefly-considered taking it with us, but decided that his Father's Day fig tree belonged in Elmont. The new owners generously allowed me to take some branches so that I could have a precious reminder of my much-loved father and the Elmont home. 【1】What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A.She grew up in a city. B.She only liked climbing trees. C.She had a happy childhood. D.She was naughty and stubborn. 【2】What did Father teach the author? A.How to garden well. B.How to play games. C.How to color fingers. D.How to fix everything. 【3】Why did Father fail to enjoy figs in 2012? A.He was ill in hospital. B.The cold hit the fig tree. C.The tree didn’t bear figs. D.He moved to another city. 【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A.To show her love of figs. B.To share her childhood. C.To remember her father. D.To introduce her experience. |

In 2010 I left the United States for the first time to fly over 9,000 miles to Uganda, a country in recovery from civil war. I was going there to help the local kids learn soccer. As I played soccer with some kids, the sun burned my skin. I took many breaks to drink from my water bottle before realizing I was the only one who did that. All the energetic children running around never stopped to get water. After looking around, I realized there was NOWHERE for them to get water, and there was no well or water pump in sight. I asked a man who was traveling with us why the kids didn’t ever stop to drink water. He told me that they would have to walk all the way to the pump in the next village and they didn’t want to miss out on playing soccer with a real ball. The kids seemed happy but it was not fair that to get a drink of water meant they would miss out on such a rare occurrence of playing with an actual soccer ball. When I got home, I spoke with other people about kids in Uganda. They told me to do something to help them. That sounded like a great idea, but how? I spoke with my friends about helping kids in Uganda. We decided that we could try to solve their most urgent problem—water. And we decided to organize soccer camps to collect money. It has been three years since our first camp and we have successfully run two more and funded two water filtration (净化) systems as well as 60 water pumps for farmers. We have been able to improve the health of thousands of Ugandans. 【1】The kids didn’t drink water while playing soccer, because ______. A. they didn’t feel thirsty at all B. they couldn’t get any nearby C. they were too poor to afford bottled water D. they were not allowed to drink water during the play 【2】How did the author most probably respond after hearing that man’s explanation? A. She was unwilling to stay there anymore. B. She decided to buy water for the kids at once. C. She felt very proud of her own life. D. She felt very sad for the kids. 【3】What can we learn from the passage? A. We should fully enjoy what we have. B. We can make a difference to others’ life. C. We should be grateful for what we receive. D. We can change our lives through hard work. |

Jim, one of the fast runners of the school was confident that he would win so he was not doing anything at all. “You have to work hard to come first in the race, Jim. You are not practicing at all,” said Jim's mother. “Mom, you know how fast I am! Then why should I waste my time running? Only I will win；no one else will win!” shouted Jim. “Jim, you may be right but talent without hard work is not good at all. This laziness of yours will cost you greatly,” his mother warned him. Jim just laughed and shrugged (耸肩) his shoulders. He was so confident that would win the prize as no one else in his class was as fast as he was!

However, he was very devoted and practiced till late night and had developed great endurance (耐力) and willpower (意志) to win the race.
