I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn"t like attention drawn to myself. And 1 otherwise assigned (指定) a seat by the teacher, I always 2 to sit at the back of the classroom. All this 3 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 4 because I didn"t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 5 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my " 6 for it", I wouldn"t have decided to give a try. Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 7 of it! When I first started 8 the practice sessions, I didn"t even know the rules of the game, much 9 what I was doing. Sometimes I"d get 10 and take a shot at the wrong direction-which made me feel really stupid. 11 , I wasn"t the only one "new" at the game, so I decided to 12 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn"t 13 "just yet". I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 14 and the "moves". Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 15 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 16 - friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun! With my 17 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from "18" in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 19 raising my hand- even when I sometimes wasn"t and not 100 percent 20 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself. |

An old woman had two large pots (罐), one on each end of a pole (扁担). She carried the pole with the pots across her neck. One of the pots had a crack (裂缝) in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered (递送) a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full.
For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman by the well: "I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house." The old woman smiled: "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot"s side? That"s because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them." "For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate (装饰) the table. Without you being just the way you are, I would not have this beauty." Each of us has our own cracks. But it"s these cracks that make our lives together so interesting and meaningful. |

A. On both sides of the path. B. In the woman"s house. C. On the perfect pot"s side. D. On the cracked pot"s side. |

A. ④⑤①③② B. ⑤④③②① C. ④③①②⑤ D. ④⑤③①② |
4. What does the passage mainly want to tell us? |

Recently, one of my best friends, whom I"ve shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago,we"ve both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other. Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other selfdestructive behaviour. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn"t want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn"t believe me. Her selfrespect seemed to have disappeared. I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn"t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang out with a bunch of losers, especially her boyfriend. By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating, I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship, but I didn"t. I put the power of friendship to the final test. We"d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything. A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend. |

I fell in love with the minister"s son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. For Christmas I prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister"s family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived-the minister"s family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence. Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made a face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. "Amy, your favorite." he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear. At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped(打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. "It"s a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied." explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night. After everyone had gone, my mother said to me ,"You want to be the same as American girls on the outside." She handed me an early gift.It was a miniskirt ."But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud that you are different. Your only shame is to have shame." It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her particular menu.
