21、My First Day of School

Fear started taking over, I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been there for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled (登记) in the local high school in my new town.

I was worried how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With butterflies in my stomach, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.

It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s still fourth period.”

“But the bell just rang,” I said.

Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher (刺耳的) one, she said, “That is the lunch bell, young man.”

I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I spotted my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad.

22、I believe that writing is the most important invention in history. It is the most important for two reasons. First, it helped governments and businesses work better. Second, it helped ideas to spread.

Writing was invented by the Sumerians around 5,000 years ago. 【1】 One example is The Code of Hammurabi. It was a list of laws written on a huge stone block for all to see. The law was written down, so every person knew what the law was. They knew what would happen if they broke it.

The Sumerians also wrote down rules about their government. The rules described how the government should work. 【2】 The rule said that the worker would have to pay a fine. This made the government act more responsibly.

The Sumerians also wrote down business contracts (合同). That’s because a contract explains what both sides promise to do. Written contracts helped the Sumerians run better businesses. This helped their civilization to grow.

【3】 It was an epic poem (史诗) called The Epic of Gilgamesh. The work is about more than just two friends on an adventure. It is also about life and death, happiness and sadness. It’s full of big ideas about the world. When the Sumerians wrote these ideas down, they spread. As a result, the Sumerians could study and talk about these big ideas. 【4】 Writing helped the Sumerians become great thinkers.

As you have read, writing helped the Sumerians become a great civilization. 【5】 That is why writing is the most important invention in human history.

A．They could also improve these ideas.

B．Writing continues to improve our lives today.

C．They used writing to make their government work better.

D．The Sumerians also created the world’s first written story.

E．Writing is so common to us that we hardly think about it.

F．The writing of the Sumerians further developed to include sounds and meanings.

G．One rule explained what would happen if a government worker didn’t do his job well.

24、Saroo Brierley, a 4-year-old boy, lived in rural India. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself alone. So he got on the train in front of him to search for his brother.

That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage (孤儿院), where he was adopted by an Australian family and taken to Tasmania.

Brierley is a famous writer now, and in his new book, A Long Way Home, he wrote he couldn’t help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn’t know his town’s name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country seemed impossible.

Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town’s central business district from a bird’s-eye view. He thought, “On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station”—and there it was. “And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain”—and there it was. Everything matched!

Standing in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing at the entrance. It took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.

In an interview Brierley says, “My mother came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, my eyes filled with tears and my brain blank. I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her.”

【1】Why did Brierley get on the train when he was a little boy?

A．To go back to his home.

B．To look for his brother.

C．To travel to Tasmania.

D．To follow a stranger.

【2】What made it difficult for Brierley to find his hometown?

A．The vast area of India.

B．The fact that he was nobody then.

C．His not remembering the town’s name.

D．The distance between Australia and his hometown.

【3】How did Brierley find his hometown?

A．By studying digital maps.

B．By analyzing old pictures.

C．By travelling all around India.

D．By spreading his story via his book.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Love for Mother

B．Union with Brother

C．Memory of Hometown

D．Long Way back Home
