题型：不详难度：来源：
Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic parents, was failing. Surprisingly, he could read.     21  his good reading skills, Steve had been failing since first grade. Steve was a big boy, yet, he went unnoticed...    22   Miss White.
Miss White was a smiling, beautiful, young lady. For the first time in his    23  life, Steve couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher; yet,    24  he failed. In the middle of the first term, the entire seventh grade was    25  for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests, and    26  to dream of other things, as the day passed slowly. One day, Miss White’s    27  voice broke into his daydreams. “Steve!” Startled (吓了一跳), he    28  to look at her. “Pay attention!” She began to    29  the test results. “You all did pretty well,” she told the class, “   30  one boy, and it breaks my    31  to tell you this, but...” She hesitated, pinning Steve to his seat with a sharp    32 . “... The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!”
After that, Steve still    33  do his homework. “Just try it,” Miss White said one day. “Steve! Please! I care about you!” Wow! Suddenly, Steve got it! Someone cared about him? Someone, so beautiful and perfect, cared about him! Steve went home from school,    34 ,  that afternoon.
The following Monday he arrived at school on time, and waited for Miss White to enter the classroom. She walked in, all sparkle and smiles! Immediately, she gave a    35  on the weekend homework. Steve was the first to    36  his paper. With a look of    37 , Miss White took his paper. Steve walked back to his desk, his heart beating strongly within his chest.
Miss White’s face was in total    38 ! Suddenly, her face broke into a bright smile. The smartest boy in the seventh grade had just    39  his first test! From that moment   40  was the same for Steve.

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.
“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of a fame or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.
小题1:Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?
A．the writer’s studiesB．wars around the world
C．dinner plansD．the writer’s future job
小题2:We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s mother _____.
A．doesn’t think the writer should be a doctor
B．doesn’t want the writer to major in English
C．gets along very well with the writer
D．doesn’t think working in the scientific field is a good idea
小题3:The underlined word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”.
A．disagreesB．shoutsC．smilesD．complains
小题4:Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?
A．He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.
B．He wants to find a job in his community in the future.
C．He wants to do something he really likes in the future.
D．He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.
小题5:We can know from the last paragraph that ____.
A．the writer’s mother works very hard for the family
B．the writer doesn’t know what his future will be like
C．the writer doesn’t think being a doctor is a good job
