I was small for my age. I was shy and sometimes it was hard for me to make friends with others. However, learning came fairly easy for me. I was the best in most of my classes, but PE class was my nightmare (噩梦) and made me feel that I was not as good as the others. Miss Forsythe was our PE teacher. She was young and energetic. Everyone liked her. She said that we all had to come to her classes. No one could hide from Miss Forsythe!

One day she told me that she wanted me to play a game with another girl in a PE show. I was rather worried that I wouldn’t do a good job as she explained her idea, but she was excited. With her encouragement, I had no choice but to agree.

It was a \Ann, played the girl. We were dressed in evening clothes and danced around the floor. According to Miss Forsythe, I had to pick up Margaret Ann when we finished the dance. Since I was not strong enough to pick the tallest girl up, it was she who picked me up. I suddenly felt ten feet tall! It was a huge success and everybody applauded (鼓掌) for our excellent performance. What a wonderful ending! Afterwards, I smiled confidently (自信地).Miss Forsythe’s understanding and willingness to create a place for me in her show (which certainly did not need me) gave me some much needed confidence. She was and always will be my favorite teacher. 1. What do we know about Miss Forsythe? A. She was good at dancing.

B. She was a strict and understanding teacher.

C. She liked to play games with the students after class. D. She taught students how to dance.

D. the author lost confidence by dancing with her classmate 4 What is the best title for the passage? A. Our PE Teacher —Miss Forsythe B. My School Life

Most people in Europe visit the Alps (阿尔卑斯山脉) in France, Austria, Italy or Switzerland in winter on their skiing holidays. I visited the Alps in mid summer. Obergurgl, 1,930 meters high, lies in Otzt覿l in the Austrian Alps. No village in Austria lies at a higher altitude than this one. There are many mountains of 3,000 meters and higher in this area, including the Wildspitze, Austria’s highest mountain, which rises to 3,772 meters.

The first goal of my hike was to reach the Breslauer Hütte, at an altitude of 2,840 meters. This was the starting point for hikers that go to climb the Wildspitze. I didn’t climb the Wildspitze —although it was not a technically difficult mountain, I couldn’t climb it without a mountain guide. Besides, the weather decided whether or not we could go on a particular hike.

I did go on another fantastic hike in the Vent area, however. From the Breslauer Hütte, I went on to the Vernagthütte, 2,766 meters high and a few more hours away from the Breslauer Hütte. This is a relatively easy hike, and the sights are magnificent (壮丽的)! Most of all, you are above the tree level here. There is nothing but rocks, ice and snow: this is my favorite part of the mountains. On the way back to the village of Vent, one came down gradually, and sheep were a common sight on the lower green meadows (草地).

When I got back to the village of Vent, it was absolutely wonderful to drink a beer or a glass of buttermilk…

5. From the passage we can learn that Obergurgl is _____. A. a village in Austria B. not very high C. the highest mountain in Austria D. the first goal on the author’s hike 6 What can we learn from the passage?

A. The author continued his hike from the Wildspitze. B. The author visited the Alps in winter for skiing. C. There is ice and snow in Vernagthütte in summer. D. The author liked the village of Vent best of all.

7. Which of the following is the RIGHT order of the author’s hiking route?

A. Obergurgl →Wildspitze →Breslauer Hütte →Vernagthütte →the village of Vent

B. Obergurgl →Wildspitze →Vernagthütte →Breslauer Hütte, →the village of Vent

C. Obergurgl →Breslauer Hütte →the village of Vent →Vernagthütte D. Obergurgl →Breslauer Hütte →Vernagthütte →the village of Vent C

Dalton Ghetti has the smallest shoe you probably will ever see. No, he doesn’t have tiny feet. The shoe is a tiny boot on the tip of a pencil! Ghetti is an artist. He uses pencils to make many things.

Today, a pencil can be sharpened (削尖) in a few seconds. When Ghetti was a child in Brazil, however, sharpening pencils was not easy. He didn’t have a pencil

sharpener, so he had to sharpen his pencils using a knife. When he was 8 years old, Ghetti began using knives for more than just sharpening pencil tips. He began making designs in the wood of pencils, as well as in soap and chalk. Ghetti uses a knife and a sewing needle (针)to create his sculptures(雕刻). He doesn’t use a magnifying glass(放大镜)on his tiny work of art. Instead, he works under a very bright light. He carves pencils for only about one and a half hours a day. If he works any longer, his eyes get tired.

\—insects, moths, spiders. I spend a lot of time watching them. There’s a whole tiny world that people don’t even notice.\ Most of Ghetti’s sculptures take months to complete, and some take years. Sculpting pencils may look fun, but you shouldn’t try this type of art yourself. Using a tool such as a knife is dangerous unless you’re very skilled like Ghetti. 8. Why did Ghetti make the smallest shoe? A. Because he has little feet.

B. Because he wanted to show his skills. C. Because he hadn’t seen a tiny shoe before. D. Because he is interested in it.

If you find that your teacher is unfair to you, think about what is happening. Try to find out whether your teacher really dislikes you, or whether something else is going on. Here are some questions to ask yourself:

16 Ask your classmates if they are having trouble with the teacher, too. If they say yes, perhaps your teacher is to blame.

Are you working up to your ability? Maybe you got a C in your last test, and your teacher told you that you could do better. And the kid sitting beside you got a C, too. 17 Isn’t this unfair? Well, it could be that your teacher knows that you could do better if you put more effort into it. 18 19 There’s nothing wrong with being sensitive (敏感的) ，but if you react to criticism quite differently from others, this could be a reason why you think your teacher doesn’t like you.

Does your teacher seem to act unfairly all the time, or just once in a while? Think about the harsh (苛刻的) things your teacher has done to you. Are these things happening every day, or just once or twice a month? If your teacher really hates you, you would probably be picked on all the time. 20

A. Are you the only person being treated badly, or is your teacher rough on the whole class?

B .Are you getting along well with your classmates?

xkb1.comC. Are you more sensitive than other students? D. Are you interested in your lessons?

E. If your teacher has acted unfairly only a few times, then there’s probably something else going on.

F.Teachers often grade students by different standards. G.But the teacher didn’t say anything to him！
