阅读理解。     When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess (公主) in the school play. For weeks
my mother had helped me practice my lines. But once onstage, every word disappeared from my head.
Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator"s (解说者的) part for the play, and asked me to change
roles. Though I didn"t tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked
if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.
    It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英) popping through the grass in bunches, as
if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one
of the bunches."I think I am going to dig up all these weeds," she said."From now on, we"ll have only roses
in this garden."
     "But I like dandelions," I protested. " All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions!"
     My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn"t it?" she
asked thoughtfully. I nodded. " And that is true of people, too,"she added.
     When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. 　　
     "But you will be a beautiful narrator," she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud
to her.
     Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big
day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. "Your mother asked me to give
this to you," she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was
perhapes the only person who would keep such a weed. 1. The girl did not play the role of the princess mainly because _____. A. she felt nervous on the stage.
B. she lost her interest in that role.
C. she preferred the role of the narrator
D. she had difficulty memorizing her words 2. Why did the mother suggest a walk in the garden? A. To remove the dandelions
B. To enjoy the garden scene
C. to have a talk with her daughter.
D. to hlep her daughter with the play. 3. What is the main idea of the story? A. Everybody can find his or her own way to success.
B. Everybody has his or her own value in the world.
C. Everybody should learn to play different roles
D. Everybody has some unforgettable memory.

阅读理解。     The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not
very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing
classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts
Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles (风格). It was
almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be
with your friends at the swimming pool?
     First we had to read about ancient Egyptians (古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and then
go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested.
Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We
had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly (鬈曲的) hair and with no clothes on flying around
the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn"t see what was so great about art.
     On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it,
a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother"s expression
how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn"t stop looking at this painting! I wanted to see every
painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could
interest me so much. 1. The aim of the mother"s plan was to _____. A. take them to visit the museum
B. introduce them to the world of art
C. ask them to read about artists
D. show them different painting styles 2. What was the writer"s experience in the museum before the last visit? A. She came to feel her mother"s love.
B. She liked many paintings.
C. She hardly enjoyed herself.
D. She could understand the pictures of fat babies. 4. What was the writer"s experience in the museum before the last visit? A. She came to feel her mother"s love.
B. She liked many paintings.
C. She hardly enjoyed herself.
D. She could understand the pictures of fat babies. 5. From the text, we can see _____. A. the importance of curiosity
B. the effect of art
C. the value of learning
D. the power of family education

Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him. He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him. With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously-but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings (蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital-and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father"s words came to him. "When you are in a tight situation, don"t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it." On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. "Bees don"t like smoke," he thought. "They couldn"t get into the house." Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he lived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother. "You"ll really need that fishing break to help you recover," laughed his mother with relief. "Thank goodness you didn"t panic!" But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.
1. Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?
A. He was riding to school. B. He was listening to a strange sound. C. He was going fishing with his father. D. He was lost in the thought of the fishing trip.
2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the swarm of bees in the passage?
A. They crowded like a black cloud. B. They shocked and terrified Andy. C. They tried to attack Andy in a mass. D. They made Andy stay in hospital for two days.
3. How did Andy avoid the bees in the end?
A. He asked Mr. Nelson for help. B. He did himself under the water. C. He rushed into the Nelson house. D. He rode off in the opposite direction.
4. Which of the following can best describe Andy"s escape from the bees?
A. No pains, no gains. B. Once bitten, twice shy. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. In time of danger, one"s mind works fast.
