She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often laughed at her. She would open a 1 , pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.‎ ‎ All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted (收养 ) by a family, and they thought that the best way for her to 2 American ways of life is to be with American kids. I looked 3 at this small girl and promised myself that I must help her.‎ ‎ But how could I help her fit in with us? There had to be a way.‎ ‎ One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had opened her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a perfect 4 .‎ ‎ I was surprised and thought that she could do 5 in the coming talent show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had drawn. “Why, it’s 6 ,” said Miss Parker, and then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough time. Could you help me, Suzy?‎ On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s 7 were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.‎ ‎ “And 8 ,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “We have a special award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students painted them.” I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could 9 that well?”‎ ‎ Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “Since this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a prize, too. Our mystery (神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”‎ ‎ Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.‎ ‎ I realized, at that time when I was looking at her 10 face, she’d probably never owned anything in her whole life.‎ ‎ Everyone started to clap their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right. ”‎ ‎1．A．bag B．book C．box D．bottle ‎2．A．learn B．borrow C．stay D．send ‎3．A．near B．up C．down D．opposite ‎4．A．copy B．note C．train D．photo ‎5．A．something B．anything C．everything D．nothing ‎6． A．colorful B．common C．ugly D．wonderful ‎7．A．photos B．books C．posters D．gifts ‎8．A．importantly B．finally C．sadly D．hopefully ‎9．A．draw B．make C．write D．think ‎10．A．sad B．beautiful C．small D．excited 7‎ 阅读理解 ‎ A ‎ Have you ever heard the saying “Don’t rest on your laurels”? “Laurels” means the achievements (业绩) you have already got.

They would always wait excitedly for the moment their grandfather would give them a few coins. Then all the children would buy sweets. The grandparents, aunts, uncles, and parents realized that, behaving like this, the children would never learn to manage their money. So they proposed a special test, the children would have to show what they could manage to get with those few coins over the course of a year. ‎ Some of the children thought that they would save their money, but Ruben and Nico, the two smallest kids, paid no attention, and they continued spending it all on sweets. Every time, they would show off their sweets in front of the other children, laughing and making fun of (取笑) their cousins. They made Clara and Joe so angry that these two could no longer stand to keep saving their money. They joined Ruben and Nico in spending whatever they had on sweets.‎ Monty was a clever boy, and he decided to start managing his money by exchanging it: buying and selling things, or betting (打赌) it with other children, in card games. Soon he had surprised the whole family. He had saved a lot of money for little hard work. The way he was going, he would end up almost a rich man. However, Monty was not being very careful, and he hadn’t a single coin left, after putting a losing bet on a horse race. ‎ Poor Julia had a wonderful secret plan. When she was to complete the second year of her plan, Julia surprised everyone with a violin and a lot of money. They were hearing her play. She did it really well. Everyone knew that Julia loved the violin, even though the family couldn’t afford to pay for her to have lessons. So Julia had got to know a poor violinist who played in the park, and she offered him all the coins her grandfather had given her if he taught her how to play. Although it wasn’t much money, on seeing Julia’s excitement, the violinist agreed, and he taught her happily for months. Julia showed so much interest that after a year the violinist lent her a violin, so they could play together in the park. They were so successful that gradually she got her own violin.‎ From then on, the whole family helped her, and she became a very famous violinist. And she would always tell people how it was possible, with just a few coins well spent, to make your wildest dreams a reality.‎ ‎5. What does the underlined word “proposed” mean?‎ ‎ A. Continued. B.

Can you imagine the flying feeling as you are pulled up to the top and then moved down to the bottom quickly again? ‎ Ferris wheel Today a Ferris wheel is usually 40 to 60 feet tall. That seems very high when you are on the top looking down. But the first Ferris wheel was 264 feet high – taller than a wenty-story building! Can you imagine the view from the top of that?‎ ‎ The first Ferris wheel was built for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. The people who planned the fair were looking for an attraction that would bring people to Chicago. George Ferris handed a drawing of a giant wheel that people could ride on. At first everyone laughed at his strange idea. But Mr. Ferris did not give up, and finally the idea was accepted. The ride opened in June of 1893.‎ ‎ Today’s Ferris wheels have 12 to 16 seats, which each carry 2 or 3 people. But that first one had 36 enclosed cars, each holding 60 passengers. When filled, it carried 2,160 people. During that summer in Chicago, about 1.5 million people rode the Ferris wheel.‎ ‎ After the fair the ride was moved to a nearby amusement park built especially to show off the wheel. In 1904, it was moved again – to St. Louis for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. After the fair there, the wheel stood unused. In 1906 it was finally sold to a company for scrap metal (废铁). ‎ ‎ Luckily a Chicago bridge builder, W.E. Sullivan, figured out how to make a smaller Ferris wheel that could easily be taken apart and put together. In 1906 he started the company that still makes many of the Ferris wheels used today.‎ ‎ But, whenever you ride one, remember that it all began with George Ferris’s strange idea!‎ ‎1. How tall is a Ferris wheel today?‎ ‎2. What was the first Ferris wheel built for?‎ ‎3. What did people think of Ferris’s idea at first?‎ ‎4.
