"Olyvia, love is simple. You don't have to do much to make someone happy." That was what my mother said to me when I was a child. Over a year ago, I had a chance. My good friend Kaylee told me about her t1. to a small town called Gary, and how it was a life—changing experience. I made up my mind to go there m2. .

When I told my parents about the decision, they didn't a3. at first. They said I didn't know much about the place. They were worried that it was not s4. for me to go there. Thankfully, after I explained my plan to them in detail, they said yes.

When our group arrived in Gary, I noticed how different the town was from where I lived. There were few stores or restaurants in the town; most had closed. So you would be very l5. if you could find a place to buy food or drinks. H6. were built on small hills. Many of them had broken doors or windows. My job was to help the local people to r7. houses. The work days were long and hot, but it was really good to see the houses taking on a new look day by day.

The children there were also different. They seemed to enjoy every moment in life t8. they were poor. The smallest things would make these kids happy. I couldn't find words to describe their joy when they r9. an ice-cream, a ball or even a kiss. The community was like a big family. Everyone knew each other and was there when someone needed help.

I am so glad that I had this unforgettable experience. I t10. learned the meaning of what my mother said. You don't need to do much to make a difference to others' lives.

My best friend Jenny and I got to the mall for shopping. She held up a white sweater and matching skirt.“Do you like this?” she asked.

“It’s great,’’I said. Jenny nodded and continued looking while I moved about. touching the beautiful clothes. “I’ll try this on.” Jenny walked towards the dressing room. After a while, she came out in the outfit(一套衣服). She looked beautiful.

I sighed. Part of me wanted to say how good she looked. but another part stopped the words coming out. Jenny was in such good shape that she’d look good in the outfit. Sometimes. I regretted choosing a best friend who was so pretty. God, why can’t I be the one with the rich parents and the great look? More and more, I was envious(妒忌的)of her.

“Well, Teresa, what do you think?” Jenny asked more than once. “Do you like it?’’

The outfit looked great on her, but I lied, “Not really. I think you need something with more colors.’’

“You think so?" Jenny said doubtfully.

“Just believe me. We’ll find something better, "I told her, pushing her back into the dressing room. “You just can’t buy the first thing you see.” I did my best to get Jenny out of the store, away from that outfit. As we left, Jenny gave the sweater one last look.

Just down the mall, we passed a yogurt place. ‘‘My treat, ’’Jenny said, pulling out her wallet.

Finishing our chocolate, we headed for the next clothing store. ‘‘Look at that red sweater.’’ Jenny said as we passed the window. ‘‘It would be perfect for you. Soon maybe you’ll have enough by saving your babysitting money to buy something like that.”

A few minutes earlier, all I had heard was about saving my babysitting money. I had hated the fact that Jenny could ask her parents for anything, and they’d buy it for her. This time, though.

My 11-year-old daughter has been offered an academic scholarship (獎學金) to a private school. It's only a small discount (折扣), but the scholarship means she is accepted by the school which my husband and I need to pay $ 20,000 a year for. Should we pay the private school cost, or choose free education instead?

It was really a hard decision for us to make. For me, I always wanted my children to go to a private school, like I did. Not because my family is rich, but because I believe that the best education is private. It took years for me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary school. “They'll go to a private high school.” I told myself.

But the fact is that my eldest is now in her last year of primary school, and my husband and I will find our way to afford the private school. If so, I could increase my work hours. My law degree was supposed to be my ticket to a good job and a good pay, but that was just our wishes, not the fact.

During many sleepless nights, I felt troubled by the decision. Although I want the best for my daughter, I have my own dreams too. I can't give up everything for my baby girl. I explain that I want to be a positive (積極的) role model for my daughter, and an unhappy parent is a terrible strain on a family. I point out that even the best private school won’t protect my children from disappointment or hard work. And finally, it's decided.

Because I understand it's my family that shaped me instead of my great private school education. I can no longer remember the maths problems and what Shakespeare said which I once knew so perfectly. The lessons from my family, however, have turned out to be impossible to forget.

1.The scholarship her daughter has won means that ________.

A.she is good at sports B.the family is full of love

C.she is accepted by that private school D.they don’t have to pay for the school

2.The underlined word strain in Paragraph 3 means ________.

A.憤怒 B.安慰 C.負擔 D.解脫

3.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.The writer had a good job with a good pay.

B.It took a long time for her to make the final decision.

C.Her two children attended their local private primary school.

D.The scholarship her daughter won could cover all of her school cost.

4.We can infer from the passage that ________.

A.the daughter will go to a public high school

B.private schools provide better education than public schools

C.the writer wanted her daughter to receive the best education

D.her daughter’s talent was wasted at the public primary school

You may think you can not live through summer without air conditioners. But in a1. China, hand fans were almost the only ones to cool you down.

In the shape of a full moon, tuanshan was usually made of silk. They had beautiful birds and flowers on them. Women, e7. those in the imperial palace, liked to use them. Meanwhile, men, such as the literati(文人) , used zhenshan. The literati liked them b8. they were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從A、B、C、D四個選項中選出一個能填入相應空格內(nèi)的最佳答案。

If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some “moving stars”. But they’re not real stars. They’re man-made satellites(人造衛(wèi)星). And the biggest of all is the International Space Station (ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes.

The ISS is the biggest satellite and scientists want to live on it. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.

When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most expensive space program. Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year.

Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration(探測). “The ISS will help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth better,” said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.

Sixteen countries are part of the program: the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and 11 European countries. China isn’t an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.

A.is really a big city in space B.is the biggest man-made satellite
