But despite her worries，she let me go on my own.As I moved into my teens，she continued to give me space to grow and learn，even when it might have been difficult for her.When I reached my senior year，I decided to move away for college.Once again I found that I differed from my peers：While many of them wanted to stay close to home，I couldn’t wait to be out in the world on my own.While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away，she was supportive and excited for me. One big thing I realized during my senior year，as my mom granted me more freedom，was that she actually believes in me and trusts me.That means a lot.Most of my life，and especially when I was little，the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother.I knew she expected nothing but the best from me.Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards； getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s. I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important，like education， and made me who I am.I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life.Most of all I respect her.She is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent. 1．When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico，his mother________.

When you took my bag, I don’t know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 there's not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the ￡5 was useful to you . I have informed the social security office so you won’t be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that won't leave you too short. But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it won’t be much use to you. Actually I don’t mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I don’t suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that! I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you. I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you? Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn’t even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We've looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop. I'm not really angry with you. I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel violated and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged their shoulders. “It happens all the time,” they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I’ve lost just a little more faith in human nature．And as my young son said when I told him what had happened, “Why? Mummy, why us?” I couldn't answer that question. I wonder if you can. 1. In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to . A. describe the contents of the bag in detail. B. give some suggestions to the three thieves C. state the fact that she was careless with the money D. tell the thieves hardly any money was available 2. Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer? A. The cash in her bag. B. The handbag itself. C. The papers and notes in the bag. D. The check books in the bag. 3. What can we conclude about the police? A. They think the case quite common. B. They show sympathy for the woman. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 C. They have doubts about human nature. D. They are unable to find the thieves. 4. Why does the author write the letter? A. To give the thieves a serious warning. B. To express her affection for her valuable bag. C. To call people’s attention to their belongings. D. To complain about the fall of morality. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When Joan gave birth to the first boy in her family in three generations, she and her husband were overjoyed. So were her parents. Joan expected her elder sister, Sally, to be just as delighted as them. Joan had always admired Sally--the beauty and the star of the family--and felt happy about her achievements. But since the baby's arrival, the sisters have become distant. Joan feels hurt for Sally seems completely uninterested in her baby. Sally, who has no children, claims that her younger sister "acts as if no one ever had a beby before." Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite. Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister--and Sally doesn't like it! Their distance may be temporary, but it shows that childhood competition don't fade easily as ages grow. It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life. In a study of the University of Cincinnati,65 men and women between ages 25 and 93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters.

I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English. First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive .Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous .Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 the right words and spelling them correctly .However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across ,to talk to someone in English ,as quickly and as well as you can ,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense ,but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances（留出余地，体谅）for any mistakes he hears. The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening .You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking. Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners .Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor .If you have this proactive outlook ,then you will see English opportunities wherever you go. If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know .Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more. 5. What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To improve your reading. B. To improve your spoken English. C. To improve your listening. D. To improve your vocabulary. 6. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that . A. don’t be afraid of making mistakes .Just speak! B. don’t be nervous ,don’t be shy .Just write! C. don’t be fluency .Just be accuracy D. don’t be shy ,don’t be fluency. Just listen and write! 7. The text is most probably taken from a . A. teacher’s diary B. report on study C. sports newspaper D. movie magazine
