John took over the papers from her shaking hand and 1 her in chair. He remembered her rich 2 in the
early days of the Old West. He looked through the papers. "It"s good, Grandma," he said gently. Then 3 that
she couldn"t hear him, he shouted into her ears,"I think it"s very good. I"ll send it to a publisher."
The days later, he reported that the publisher had had time to read only a few 4 . But he was so impressed (留下深刻印象) that he had sent $ 100 for an option (版权). More money would be given as an advance
(预付款). Every month John 5 $100 for her with a letter from the publisher telling about the progress of the
book.

couldn"t 6 more than a few days. She was ready to go, but she first wanted her book to be in print. John
promised that she could get it very soon.
Grandma 7 on until the day the book came into her hands with the title and her name on the cover. 8 she
couldn"t see it, she could touch it. She 9 traced (探查) her name with her fingers, tears in her eyes. Two
hours later, she died peacefully, 10 holding her book.
Her granddaughter took up the book and opened it. "Why, it"s just blank pages!" she cried in 11 . John"s
face turned red. Then the girl understood. There never was a book. Grandma couldn"t hear the little bell when
the typewriter came to the end of the line. She would keep on working, not 12 the whole sentences and
sometimes the paragraphs were missing. John did not tell her, for he couldn"t take away her only hope. It was
John himself who had written the letters and sold his car to pay the advance. | ( )1. A. pushed

my older sister Maria had.
My family was spending a week at the beach. One morning, Maria went to the beach early, but I stayed
behind to finish a drawing of a seashell. After finishing the drawing, I walked to join Maria. She was a top
gymnast (体操运动员). Her show was perfect as she wheeled along the beach. The beauty of that sight froze
me, and I decided immediately that I too would become a gymnast like her.
I knew that I had never been very good at sports. However, when I told my parents I wanted to take a
gymnastics class, they agreed with me in surprise. The next week, I went to a beginners" class.
If only my parents had talked me out of this misguided plan! Five minutes into the first class, it was clear
that I didn"t have the gift of a gymnast. But I kept at it.
During this time, drawing and painting-which had been my two favorites-all but left my mind. It must
have been hurting for my family as they watched my hopeless efforts. I blindly decided to be like Maria. I just
would not give up.
At the same time, on the advice of Ms. White, my art teacher, I hurriedly handed in my seashell drawing
for an art contest in our town. One night as I was having a hard time practicing, the phone rang. It was Ms.
White. "Alice, you won the contest!" she said loudly.
"Really?" was all I could reply.
"Yes," Ms. White said. "They"re going to give you a prize. And that"s not all. The winner is also accepted
into Wildale"s Summer Fine Arts Institute." I couldn"t believe what I heard. Only a handful of young artists
were accepted each summer.
That night I didn"t go back into the living room to continue practicing. Gymnastics was Maria"s gift, not
mine. It had taken me a while, but I realized that I had a gift of my own. | | 1. Alice wanted to be a gymnast because ________. | A. she had been good at sports
B. her sister"s show was perfect
C. she hated drawing and painting
D. her parents wanted her to do so | | 2. How did Alice feel about learning gymnastics at last? | A. Satisfied.
B. Worried.
C. Hopeful.
D. Regretful. | | 3. From the story, we can infer that ________. | A. Alice"s parents disagreed with her choice of gymnastics
B. Alice did not realize her gift in drawing and painting at first
C. Alice spent a hard time preparing for the art contest in the town
D. Alice couldn"t believe the news that she got the prize for painting | | 4. What does the writer want to tell us according to the passage? | A. We should value our own gifts.
B. It takes time to find one"s gifts.
C. We could develop different gifts.
D. It"s never too late to show our gifts. | | 阅读理解。 | Many people think sports are just for winning and honor, but there is a lot more you can gain from (get
out of) them. I have learned over the past years that sometimes when I lose, I get a lot more out of it than
winning. Also, I find a lot of times in sports, people are getting too caught up in the game instead of just having
fun. The real purpose of sports is to have fun and learn life lessons along the way.
I greatly encourage you to be a part of the school sports. Even if you are not the best, you can still have
fun. Sports give people a great and healthy way of spending an afternoon, instead of lying around playing video
games or even getting into bad things. Sports also give us a sense of achievement. There isn"t a better feeling
than to have done something fun and productive for my day.
I think that we all need sports to give us courage. If we try hard in sports, we usually do well. If we did
the same in study, we would all be champions. Another reason why I encourage you to play sports is that it"s
just fun. Without sports, our lives would just be boring. So as you may be able to tell, sports are amazing!
Our coaches not only teach us to play sports, but show class and good sportsmanship while playing them.
It"s never fun when you lose to have the competitor rub it in your face. That"s why our coaches teach us to
show class when we lose; also, when coaches get onto you, don"t get down. They only want to see you
improve and learn from what they say. When you do badly and they don"t shout loudly is when you should
start worrying because they are giving up on you.
Overall, sports are great! They bring out the best and worst of a lot of us. However, we can"t let sports get
too serious to where it brings down all the fun. So to have the most fun in sports, you just need try your best
and not worry so much about the winning or losing. | | 1. The underlined phrase "get onto you" in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. | A. point out your mistakes
B. take up your time
C. worry about your future
D. look into your privacy | | 2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? | A. Sports bring us great fun only if we have the talent.
B. Sports give us the best way of spending free time.
C. We can get more out of winning than losing.
D. We should take pleasure in doing sports. | | 3. What is the best title of this passage? | A. Are we too caught up?
B. To win or to gain?
C. Are sports really great?
D. For honor or for health? | 最新试题
