21、I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古雅)—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. I used to use it , but now I’m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
【1】The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.
A. is not used to the life there now
B. has lived there for seventeen years
C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house
D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there
【2】Where do people usually meet their friends in England?
A. In a cafe. B. In a restaurant.
C. In a nightclub. D. In a pub.
【3】The underlined part “it” (in Para. 4) refers to______.
A. a taxi B. the money
C. a bomb D. public transport
【4】The writer took her neighbors to France for Christmas because he ______.
A. felt lonely in England
B. had never been to France
C. was from a typical French family
D. didn't like the British idea of family
22、Who is your role model? Normally the answer to this question would be anyone around you who you find truly inspiring. It could also be someone like J. K. Rowling or Martin Luther King. Jr. , who have proven to be strong and intelligent people.
However, in today’s world, stars are regarded as role models along with the heroes listed above, despite their intentions or actions. Teens attempt to imitate their actions for two major reasons. Firstly, to be fashionable and accepted by popular culture, and secondly because stars’ actions are so well documented by the media that it seems to grab our attention and turns it to following stars’ lives. Much of the reports about stars is shocking and exhibits bad morals or lifestyles that aren’t right for teenagers. In addition, almost everything stars do is described beyond truth to make a shocking story by taking it to the next level.
However, teens must take responsibility for their actions. We can’t always blame stars for influencing us. Only you have control over yourself and only you choose to do something. Our bodies and actions are in the hands of no one else.
Now, whoever said stars are role models? Whether they choose to be or not, stars set examples as soon as they step into the spotlight. With reporters following and recording every move they make, it is impossible not to be watched and then be imitated. These people influence teens whether or not they want to. Why should someone who doesn’t want to be setting an example set one? So,should we look up to them or to people who are true and good role models? It’s our responsibility as teens to know right from wrong, and it’s time for us to take responsibility for our actions. In doing so,we will lean toward those inspiring people that want to be setting an example, and follow in their steps to be like them.
【1】 According to the first paragraph, _______ can usually be role models.
A. political leaders
B. wealthy writers
C. people inspiring others
D. people with great intelligence
【2】What are the major reasons for the teens to imitate stars?
A. Interest in stars’ life and expectation of getting rich.
B. Motivation for being fashionable and inspiration from popular examples.
C. Intentions to gain acceptance and encouragement from stars’ lifestyle.
D. Desires to be stylish and great influence from the mass media.
【3】 The author writes the passage mainly to advise the teenagers to _______.
A. have a control over their own bodies and actions
B. be responsible for their own choices and behaviors
C. follow fashionable stars’ steps to be more popular
D. choose right role models according to different reports
【4】It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. stars have the responsibility for teenagers’ actions
B. not all famous stars choose to influence teenagers
C. teenagers choose those inspiring people as their role models
D. stars set examples immediately they stepped into the spotlight
23、 Becky had everything Sarah wanted: a pool in her backyard, popularity, and new clothes. Worse, it seemed (at least to Sarah) that Becky had the Midas touch. Everything she touched turned to gold. She won the class lottery and with it $50! She won every race she entered, every art competition, and every award the school offered. She had all the luck in the world.
Sarah was an only child. She wore hand-me-downs from her older cousin Clementine. She didn't have many friends. Her best friend Kiara was really the best in a lot of ways: kind,generous, and loyal. Just the kind of person you would want for a best friend. But Sarah most certainly did not have good luck. She never won anything. On the days she carried an umbrella, it never rained; on the days she forgot her umbrella, dark ruin clouds seemed to follow her around.
One rainy day in April, though, Sarah and Becky swapped luck. That's how Sarah thought of it anyway. It wasn't expected, and it certainly wasn't planned. But after weeks of wishing for it, Sarah woke up and things felt different. She felt lucky.
She rolled out of bed and noticed a small package on her desk. She opened it: it was a brand new dress, the same one she had been eyeing for weeks. Mom!" she called. Did you get me this dress?”
“It's from your grandmother.” her mother called back," Early birthday gift!”
Sarah shrugged. Her birthday wasn’t until August..
And it didn’t stop there. On the school bus, Carlos, the most popular boy in school, saved her a seat. Then Mrs. Nelson picked her—yes, her!-- to take care of the class rabbit over the weekend. But the best part of the day was art class. Mr. Rodriguez, her art teacher, walked around the room slowly. Sarah hadn't spent much time on her project. But it was still pretty, still unique. Mr. Rodriguez walked past Becky's art project and didn't even pause. Becky looked devastated. Her hair was still wet from that morning's rain. She had forgotten to bring an umbrella.
“Well, class!” Mr. Rodriguez said." I think our winner for this month is Sarah! Excellent work, Sarah--this shows a lot of progress!"
Sarah smiled proudly, “Guess you have some competition," she whispered to Becky.
Sarah was on top of the world. Today, she felt like a better-than-average fourth grader, possibly the best fourth grader who had ever existed. She wondered what was next.
Becky, she noticed had spent most of the day sulking(生闷气的)."Let someone else have a shot at being lucky for once," Sarah thought to herself. Then she noticed that Becky was crying. Small tears dropped down onto her t-shirts.
“What’s wrong?” Sarah asked.
“I just spent a lot of time on that project," Becky said between hiccupped sobs.
Sarah was beginning to feel awful: After all she hadn’t spent much time on her project at all.
Then she felt Kiara tap on her shoulder. “You know, Sarah,” Kiara started. She looked angry and hurt at the same time. “You haven’t been very nice today. You’ve been acting like…like you’re the best person in the world,” She shook her head. “This isn’t just like you at all.”
Now Sarah felt even worse. It was one thing to have the class pet dislike you, but another thing entirely to disappoint you best friend, “I’m sorry, Kiara,” she said. “It’s just been a weird day.”
She walked over to Becky and gave her a hug. “Don’t worry,” she whispered, “your luck will change soon enough.” Luck, Sarah was beginning to think, was overrated.
【1】Which word can describe Sarah at the beginning of the story?
A.Grateful B.Lucky
C.Popular D.Jealous
【2】Why was Becky upset when her artwork was not praised by the art teacher?
A.Because she had lost her luck.
B.Because she had put a lot of effort into it.
C.Because she thought her art was better than Sarah’s
D.Because she thought he art showed a lot of progress.
【3】Towards the end of the story, Kiara’s comments make Sarah feel even worse because.____
A.Sarah thought Kiara misunderstood her.
B.in Sarah’s eyes Kiara was only on Becky’s side.
C.Sarah felt like she had disappointed her best friend.
D.Sarah didn’t think she deserve the teacher’s recognization.
【4】What did Sarah learn from this incidence?
A.Efforts will pay off.
B.A lucky person gains more.
C.Being nice outweighs being lucky.
D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
