In my seventh grade, I developedan interest in solving a Rubik’s Cube.I started by asking my brother to teach meand he asked me to solve a blue cross on a cube by myself.I spent around 20 minutes mixing the cube and finally got that little blue cross on the top.Excitedly, I jumped up from the chair and raced into my brother’s bedroom.After handing the cube to him, to my surprise, he mixed the perfect blue cross up, making my work completely disappear.“Do it again,” he handed it back to me.“No, I won’t.” I was angry stepping out of his room.A few weeks later, my brother wasn’t at home.“I’m going to learn how to do this without him!”I promised myself.I spent the rest of my night watching a guy on YouTube teach me to solve the first few steps.I mastered those steps.The next day, I spent the whole school day secretly practicing what I had learned the night before.When I made my way to my music class, I tried to find some spare time taking out the cube again and solving what I knew.Noah, my classmate, and also one of my best friends later, laughed at me.“Do you know how?” I sneered(嘲笑).“Actually yeah, let me see it.My fastest solving time is 15 seconds,” he noted as he began solving the cube.It took him about 25 seconds to finish it.“Okay, that was cool.” I started solving the cube again.I didn’t know at that time this boywould be my inspiration for cube solving.He taught me eac h step, each day, and when I forgot, he’d remind me how to do it.He was the best friend I’d ever had.Sadly he’s no longer with us now, but the memories of solving cubes together will be there forever.It was this boy who helped me with cube solving.It take s me around a minute to solve a Rubik’s Cube.I am proud that I can do something not many people can.Thank you, Noah.9.In his seventh grade, the writer .

Why are you looking for a book—reading for pleasure or trying to learn something? Reading silently for yourself or reading out loud for someone else? Most often, your purpose for reading can be found with a quick answer.I=Interest. With the many millions of books on shelves today, there must be something out there for everyone.If you are interested in cars, consider books about history of racing, race car drivers, or car design.Even if you have a short amount of time to choose books, you can determine interestby looking at the front cover, flipping through(快速翻阅) the pages to have a quick look at photos or illustrations, or reading the back cover or the chapter titles.C=Comprehend. It’s important to choose a book right for your level or ability.How to choose such a book? If you r ead books at Level A, for example, you’d better not choose a book at Level D.If the book isn’t labeled(贴标签) with a level, you can open the book and choose a page—then you can decide whether the book is at a right level for you by asking yourself: ·Did I un derstand what I just read?·Do I remember what I read?·Was I able to read most of the words?This brings us to our final letter: K.K=Know the Words. Readers should be able to understand most of the words on the page.The key is the“Five Finger Rule”: Choose a book you would like to read, look at a page in the middle and put one finger down for every word you don’t understand.The“Five Finger Rule” shows a general idea of the relationship between the number of unknown words and the difficulty level of a book: ·0—1 unknown word=too easy·2—3 unknown words=just right·4—5 unknown words=too difficultYou want to know how to choose books right for you—books that are enjoyable, fun, and exciting. P.I.C.K.is all about giving you the tools to be a strong and confident reader.12.What does “P.I.C.K.” stand for?13.According to the passage, what is one possible purpose for reading?14.What books does the writer advise you to read if you’re interested in cars?15.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?16.If you put three fingers down when you’re reading a page, what’s the difficulty level of the book?【参考答案】Ⅰ.1.C 2.B 3.C 4.B 5.A 6.D 7.D 8.BⅡ.[主旨大意]本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者在7年级的时候对魔方产生了兴趣,本想求助于哥哥教自己破解魔方,但是哥哥对此没有耐心,于是作者下定决心自学。
