Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Daniel when he was young. “Someday, you’ll have a home of your own and can live however you want.

Focusing on those things was much better than replaying the unpleasant things during the day.During the next few days, I felt a renewed sense of hope.

Jose Hernandez kept trying 12 times over 12 years until he finally realized his dream of becoming an astronaut.Hernandez was born in Mexico. He lived a difficult life when he was young. As the son of a migrant (移居的) farmer, he had to work on different farms to make a living. He traveled with his parents and 1 them pick vegetables, following the growing seasons from Mexico to the farmlands of California in the southwestern United States. As a result, he faced 2 in learning English. But he found balance in other subjects, especially in math and science, because two plus three is five in any language. So he became interested in engineering when he was really young, 3 by his love for numbers and logic. Then, at the age of nine, when he watched TV and saw the astronaut walk on the moon’s surface in the Apollo lunar mission, he had his real dream of becoming an astronaut.When he shared his 4 dream with his parents, they sat him down at the kitchen table and told him some keys to success: a clear goal, an understanding of the steps to get from where you are to where you want to be, hard work, education and most importantly, heart. With their support, Hernandez worked 5 to achieve his dream, even forgetting to have rests. Years later, he graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering and later earned a higher degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Hernandez’s educational career finally 6 some of the requirements to become an astronaut. So he sent his first application (申请) to NASA．Then he started 7 one rejection (拒绝) letter after the other, 11 times in total.But he never gave up.

Before long, Grandpa joined me in eating ice cream. We laughed when a drop fell on Grandpa’s belly. “Your mother will be angry with me for that.”“You mean my grandma,” I corrected. Grandpa often 1 me with Mom when she was a little girl. Mom said Grandpa had Alzheimer’s, which made him forget things. “Yes, your grandma,” Grandpa said softly. Grandma came out as we finished our ice cream. “We’re going shopping,” she said, handing me a shopping list. The phone rang inside. “I’ll be back in a minute.” she said, leaving her handbag by Grandpa. Grandpa found Grandma’s 2 in her handbag and smiled. “How about we go to the store and surprise her?”My heart beat a little faster. I knew Grandpa was not supposed to drive anymore. Grandpa pushed himself to his feet. “Come on, before she gets back.” Though a little worried, I 3 him as he headed to the car. “Grandpa,” I whispered, “I think we should wait for Grandma.”Grandpa smiled at me warmly and took the shopping list from me with a determined look. I felt relaxed as Grandpa slowly backed the car down the driveway. Suddenly, I saw Grandma waving her arms 4 from the porch, screaming. “George! No!”“Why is she so upset?” Grandpa asked calmly. As we neared the stop sign, the car sped up instead of slowing down. “Grandpa! You have to stop!” I shouted. He didn’t hear me and 5 through the intersection. Grandpa looked at his watch, causing the car to run into the opposite lane. I was too scared to speak. “I think we won’t be late, Judy,” Grandpa said absently. Mom’s name. “Grandpa, it’s me, Melanie. I don’t have school—it’s summer,” I said. “Stop trying to distract (打扰) me or I’ll miss the school,” Grandpa said. Suddenly, we were racing up behind a man on a red bicycle. “Grandpa!” I screamed. “The bicycle!”“Whoa!” Grandpa shouted, 6 the man just in time. He quickly turned the car and kept speeding up. Tears filled my eyes. The man who once made me feel safe was now scaring me. It wasn’t just the speeding car that frightened me; it was realizing that my old grandpa was gone. This confused man who had once taken care of me now needed me to take care of him. I took a deep breath and forced my voice to sound 7 . “Hey, Dad. Do you think you can pull over real quick?”“Pull over? Why?”“I can’t remember if I put my backpack in the trunk (后备箱), and my homework is in it. Can you help me look?” I knew I had to get him out of the car. Grandpa opened the car door and headed out. At that moment, a police car stopped around the corner. Before I knew it, Grandma and an officer were at our sides. Grandma, whom I had never seen cry, was sobbing (啜泣) as she hugged Grandpa and me. With all the confusion, Grandpa seemed to 8 about taking me to school. We were all back into the car and Grandma started driving, when suddenly Grandpa turned and gave me a wink (眨眼). That’s when I knew the old Grandpa was still there.

For us, it happened during a trip to Santa Barbara, while we were staying with Daniel, our eldest son near the beautiful beaches. “Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Daniel 1 on our first night. The same thing happened when I washed my hands. All right, I understood. This is California, where drought is a problem. More 2 followed. “Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dogs in the morning—it will warm up when we get to the park.” He asked why I drank so much cola and told me one pump (泵) of hand sanitizer (洗手液) was enough. He even showed me how to fold the rug (毯子) over the chair after using it. At first, I wondered how I’d 3 such a kid. Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Daniel when he was young. “Someday, you’ll have a home of your own and can live however you want. Before that, you’ll have to do as we ask.” A rude rule, but now it was payback time. Although it felt strange to follow my son’s rules, I quickly saw that there were 4 of doing so. He cleaned dishes after dinner because he thought he could do a better job than my wife and me. And he willingly drove everywhere, saving me from the stressful city traffic, even though it made me carsick. Our role 5 gave me hope for his future parenting ability. We walked along Butterfly Beach on our last afternoon and reached a big rock area. I thought we couldn’t go any further, but Daniel wouldn’t give up. He helped me step from one big rock to the next, 6 telling me where to place my arthritic (关节炎) feet and hands as ocean waves came close. I was afraid, but after a couple hundred metres we 7 it to a fresh sandy area. “You did it! I’m really proud.” Daniel said to me, smiling.

She was sitting under her favorite 1 in her family backyard, reading a storybook, when she noticed something sticking out of the ground near the roots (根).Jamilla often dug for treasure in the backyard. Now she put down the book and began to dig, 2 a small clay piece. Then out came five more! She washed them clean and found some lines and letters etched (蚀刻) into four of the six pieces. Did they have a secret message? 3 , Jamilla brought the pieces to her grandfather.“Papa, look at what I found! What do these lines and letters mean?” she asked.“That’s quite a special 4 you found. Give me those pieces of clay,” her grandpa said. “Let’s see if we can put them together like doing a jigsaw puzzle.”They soon found four pieces that seemed to 5 together.“What do you see about the lines?” her grandfather asked.Staring at the pieces, Jamilla noticed that some letters ended up under each other.“They don’t spell anything,” she told her grandpa.“That’s true. But you’ll find out soon.” Grandpa took out their family book in which the names of every generation (一代人) were written. “Now look at how the letters go in order. Then look at the names in the book.”“A, R, L, J: those four letters on the clay are in the same order as the initials (首字母) in the book!” she called out, 6 .“You’re right, dear Jamilla. And here’s why: I made a pot out of wet clay on the day you were born,” Papa said proudly. “And then I etched the initials of our family members into it before the clay became dry. Later, I planted seeds in that pot. The seeds grew into a tree—”“My favorite tree!” Jamilla shouted.“Yes. But as the tree 7 , that pot broke,” Papa noted. “You found the roots of your family at the roots of your favorite tree.”Jamilla thought about what her grandfather said. The broken pot she found was more than a backyard treasure: It 8 her family’s history! Their family had grown bigger with every generation, just like that tree grew tall.1．A．flower B．tree C．window D．umbrella2．A．hiding B．expecting C．breaking D．discovering3．A．Calmly B．Nervously C．Curiously D．Angrily4．A．tool B．present C．treasure D．reward5．A．fit B．mix C．move D．draw6．A．patient B．excited C．upset D．bored7．A．grew B．fell C．shook D．stood8．A．ended B．tested C．changed D．recordedCThree Good ThingsAs a teacher, I always hoped to give my students more than an introduction to classic literature and the skills to write good essays (文章). I wanted to teach some life lessons to help them live happily. However, it was a 1 who taught me a valuable life lesson.I was feeling stressed and burned out that day, as I had felt on most days of that school year. One of my classes was very challenging, and I was 2 of trying to encourage a group of students who seemingly did not care about school. Near the end of my class, I was 3 graded essays to my students. After Jill got hers, she read my comments (评语), checked the grade, smiled up at me, and said, “This will be one of my three good things for today.”I had not heard that 4 before, so I asked her, “What does that mean?”She explained, “Every night before I go to sleep, I think of three good things that happened that day. A good thing doesn’t have to be something big or important. It can be a kind word from a friend or a good meal.”“Thank you for sharing that with me,” I said. “That sounds like a really good habit that encourages you to find good in life every day.”Honestly, I was a little ashamed. A sixteen-year-old student had just taught me a life lesson that I really 5 , as I had seen only the problems in my life.That night I started to 6 the “three good things” habit, and was amazed at how easily I could recall three wonderful things from the day—the discussion I had with my students about a book, the beautiful rainbow I saw, and the evening walk at the park. Focusing on those things was much better than replaying the unpleasant things during the day.During the next few days, I felt a renewed sense of hope. I was always looking forward to 7 my “three good things”.Throughout the years, I have continued to work on being 8 and thankful, although life has thrown challenges and difficulties at me.1．A．friend B．student C．teacher D．parent2．A．afraid B．proud C．hopeful D．tired3．A．reading B．sending C．returning D．showing4．A．plan B．suggestion C．praise D．expression5．A．needed B．forgot C．understood D．doubted6．A．change B．break C．practice D．support7．A．doing B．finding C．sharing D．remembering8．A．curious B．responsible C．positive D．honest【拔高题】A阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。How many times would you keep trying, even if you failed again and again? Jose Hernandez kept trying 12 times over 12 years until he finally realized his dream of becoming an astronaut.Hernandez was born in Mexico. He lived a difficult life when he was young. As the son of a migrant (移居的) farmer, he had to work on different farms to make a living. He traveled with his parents and 1 them pick vegetables, following the growing seasons from Mexico to the farmlands of California in the southwestern United States. As a result, he faced 2 in learning English. But he found balance in other subjects, especially in math and science, because two plus three is five in any language. So he became interested in engineering when he was really young, 3 by his love for numbers and logic. Then, at the age of nine, when he watched TV and saw the astronaut walk on the moon’s surface in the Apollo lunar mission, he had his real dream of becoming an astronaut.When he shared his 4 dream with his parents, they sat him down at the kitchen table and told him some keys to success: a clear goal, an understanding of the steps to get from where you are to where you want to be, hard work, education and most importantly, heart. With their support, Hernandez worked 5 to achieve his dream, even forgetting to have rests. Years later, he graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering and later earned a higher degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Hernandez’s educational career finally 6 some of the requirements to become an astronaut. So he sent his first application (申请) to NASA．Then he started 7 one rejection (拒绝) letter after the other, 11 times in total.But he never gave up. He looked at the skills that the selected (选定的) astronauts had and that he didn’t. He learned to fly and dive, developing the skills he was short of. Finally, in 2004, his 8 paid off.

Mandy looked at the date. “It’s the last week of July.” she said. “That’s the same time as the Hill County Fair.”I knew she would mention the fair. “Yes, but we always go.” I replied. Mandy handed the flyer back and started to look at the new books. “Tessa, you’re the 1 , but I’m not,” she smiled. “My little brother thought the tulips (郁金香) I painted were rocket ships.”“You can learn to draw.” I encouraged her, not wanting to go to the camp 2 . Later, I called my friends Emily and Yoshiko. Yoshiko was going to the fair, and Emily would be out of town in July. I sighed and let my head fall onto the flyer. “What’s this? ” my mom asked, taking the paper. “A flyer for an art camp.” I explained. “Do you want to go?” she asked. “Probably not.” I said. “None of my friends are going.” My mom 3 my unease with new people. “Maybe next year, dear.” she suggested. “Maybe.” I sighed, deciding to go outside to 4 the Westons’ pine tree. A pine tree with large rootsAs I sketched absent-mindedly on the front steps, my thoughts wandered, and I wished I could feel a bit braver. Mandy could make new friends 5 , but I felt nervous in new places. Using my pencil. I carefully drew the tree’s strong trunk and graceful branches (树枝), losing myself in the drawing. Mr. Weston, who was out for a walk, saw my work. “You’ve captured (抓住了) the strength of that tree.” he said. “Thanks.” I smiled. He also gave me a tip about planting trees, “You have to 6 out the roots near the surface so the tree can get enough water. If planted only too deep they dry out.”His words stayed in my mind as I drew. I realized I had been like a tree with mots in one 7 , too afraid to reach out. That night, I took a deep breath and filled out the art camp application, feeling both nervous and 8 . I was ready to branch out and grow my roots into new soil like the pine tree.1．A．singer B．athlete C．artist D．dancer2．A．early B．alone C．fast D．sadly3．A．understood B．questioned C．predicted D．experienced4．A．examine B．break C．draw D．copy5．A．finally B．easily C．slowly D．carefully6．A．dig B．pull C．move D．spread7．A．corner B．hill C．garden D．place8．A．excited B．fearful C．satisfied D．anxiousC阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。One hot summer day at my grandparents’ house, I asked Grandma for some ice cream and sat on the porch. Before long, Grandpa joined me in eating ice cream. We laughed when a drop fell on Grandpa’s belly. “Your mother will be angry with me for that.”“You mean my grandma,” I corrected. Grandpa often 1 me with Mom when she was a little girl. Mom said Grandpa had Alzheimer’s, which made him forget things. “Yes, your grandma,” Grandpa said softly. Grandma came out as we finished our ice cream. “We’re going shopping,” she said, handing me a shopping list. The phone rang inside. “I’ll be back in a minute.” she said, leaving her handbag by Grandpa. Grandpa found Grandma’s 2 in her handbag and smiled. “How about we go to the store and surprise her?”My heart beat a little faster. I knew Grandpa was not supposed to drive anymore. Grandpa pushed himself to his feet. “Come on, before she gets back.” Though a little worried, I 3 him as he headed to the car. “Grandpa,” I whispered, “I think we should wait for Grandma.”Grandpa smiled at me warmly and took the shopping list from me with a determined look. I felt relaxed as Grandpa slowly backed the car down the driveway. Suddenly, I saw Grandma waving her arms 4 from the porch, screaming. “George! No!”“Why is she so upset?” Grandpa asked calmly. As we neared the stop sign, the car sped up instead of slowing down. “Grandpa! You have to stop!” I shouted. He didn’t hear me and 5 through the intersection. Grandpa looked at his watch, causing the car to run into the opposite lane. I was too scared to speak. “I think we won’t be late, Judy,” Grandpa said absently. Mom’s name. “Grandpa, it’s me, Melanie. I don’t have school—it’s summer,” I said. “Stop trying to distract (打扰) me or I’ll miss the school,” Grandpa said. Suddenly, we were racing up behind a man on a red bicycle. “Grandpa!” I screamed. “The bicycle!”“Whoa!” Grandpa shouted, 6 the man just in time. He quickly turned the car and kept speeding up. Tears filled my eyes. The man who once made me feel safe was now scaring me. It wasn’t just the speeding car that frightened me; it was realizing that my old grandpa was gone. This confused man who had once taken care of me now needed me to take care of him. I took a deep breath and forced my voice to sound 7 . “Hey, Dad. Do you think you can pull over real quick?”“Pull over? Why?”“I can’t remember if I put my backpack in the trunk (后备箱), and my homework is in it. Can you help me look?” I knew I had to get him out of the car. Grandpa opened the car door and headed out. At that moment, a police car stopped around the corner. Before I knew it, Grandma and an officer were at our sides. Grandma, whom I had never seen cry, was sobbing (啜泣) as she hugged Grandpa and me. With all the confusion, Grandpa seemed to 8 about taking me to school. We were all back into the car and Grandma started driving, when suddenly Grandpa turned and gave me a wink (眨眼). That’s when I knew the old Grandpa was still there. He just came out when I least expected it. 1．A．presented B．confused C．provided D．compared2．A．notebook B．cards C．pen D．keys3．A．refused B．admired C．followed D．disappointed4．A．wildly B．softly C．excitedly D．impatiently5．A．looked B．got C．ran D．sped6．A．hitting B．catching C．noticing D．stopping7．A．cheerful B．careful C．nervous D．confident8．A．worry B．forget C．think D．bring学科网（北京）股份有限公司$$
