The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison (监狱). The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.At that moment, I thought to myself, “Why aren’t most adults this way?” Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure (失败).However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure; instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. What’s more, they probably think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence (坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.1.What did the little boy do when he fell down?A.He cried and lay on the grass.B.He asked his mother for help.C.He got up and went on running.D.He got up and stood there crying.2..In the writer’s opinion, what might the little boy regard his falling downas?A.A failure.B.A joke.C.An interesting game.D.A learning experience.3.In the writer’s opinion, why can’t many adults succeed?A.Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.B.Because they can’t find a good excuse.C.Because once they fail, they won’t attempt again.D.Because they don’t allow themselves to make mistakes.4.The underlined word “attempt”in Paragraph 2 means ________.A.尝试B.放弃C.面对D.怀疑5.What does the writer want to tell us?A.Practice makes perfect.B.Failure is the mother of success.C.All roads lead to Rome.D.Each coin has two sides.BAt my primary school, I was one of the smartest kids there. I never studied, but always got perfect scores. I thought I was born clever. At least I believed so. I was also a prodigy in music according to myself. I could sing better than almost anyone else in my school. I was pretty sure that once I got to sixth grade, everyone would be surprised by me. But actually, they weren’t.When I arrived at my new class, I couldn’t wait to show everyone what I could do. However, there was always someone else who could do better.My grades began to suffer. More talented girls often sang solo (独唱). I believed I wasn’t smart. I believed I wasn’t talented. I believed I was a failure.Over the next two years, I had to work very hard. Every prize for the singing competition was given to me for hard work and efforts. Grades were still very low but improving little by little. I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything.I haven’t realized until recently that I really don’t have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself. In fact, when I did badly in a test, my classmates never laughed at me.No one is perfect. There will probably always be someone better than me at something. Anyway, there are about seven billion people in this world. I will never be the number one at everything, and that’s really okay.1.What does the underlined phrase “a prodigy” probably mean?A.A smart kid.B.A crazy fan.C.A common child.D.A lazy girl.2.When the writer was at the new class, _______.A.she lost her interest in musicB.she had difficulty in learningC.she surprised everyone in solosD.she got on badly with her classmates3.What happened to the writer during the next two years?A.She won many prizes without any efforts.B.She found the best way to become perfect.C.She gave up trying because of the low scores.D.She failed to be perfect though she worked hard.4.What has the writer realized recently?A.There is no success without effort.B.Being talented is the key to success.C.Don’t expect too much of yourself.D.It’s not necessary to care about the result.5.Which would be the best title of this passage?A.No one is perfectB.My past life as a young girlC.Hard work doesn’t workD.What to do when you’re not perfectCMy mother is fifty-five years old. She retired (退休) just two months ago. After that, she was bored and didn’t know what to do every day. She was kind to us before, but recently she had a chip on her shoulder.She often quarreled with my brother and me without any reason. Also, relations between my parents became difficult. My mother got into trouble and didn’t know how to deal with it. My brother thought of a good idea to solve the problem. He bought her a new smart phone and taught her how to use WeChat (微信). My mother’s life changed a lot from then on. No matter where she went and whatever she did, she always used it. She took photos with her new smart phone and always shared her photos in her friend circle to express how happy she was. As a result, she often did something by mistake. She often forgot to turn off the gas and the food she was cooking usually got burnt. My father tried to stop her, but it didn’t work.This afternoon, my mother prepared to make dumplings for dinner. She took a lot of pictures in order to post them into her friend circle. After dinner, we took out our smart phones and waited to see the photos she had taken. To our surprise, we didn’t find any pictures of her dumplings. At last, my father couldn’t help asking her, “Why don’t you share your delicious dumplings in your friend circle today?”My mother looked embarrassed and said, “______” “Oh, my God!I have to spend more money buying a new one!” cried my brother.1.The underlined words “had a chip on her shoulder”most probably mean______.A.had a pain in her shoulderB.got angry easilyC.liked eating potato chips2.My brother bought a smart phone for my mother because ________.A.my mother liked taking photos and sharing them in her friend circleB.my father retired two months agoC.my brother wanted to help my mother out of trouble3.After my mother had a smart phone, _______.A.she liked it very much and used it all the timeB.she often quarreled with my brother and me without any reasonC.she was bored and didn’t know what to do4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.My mother stopped my father from taking pictures of food.B.My mother often forgot turning off the gas after she had a smart phone.C.After dinner, we were surprised to find no pictures of dumplings in my mother’s friend circle.5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.My mother stopped my father from taking pictures of food.B.My mother often forgot turning off the gas after she had a smart phone.C.After dinner, we were surprised to find no pictures of dumplings in my mother’s friend circle.Ⅰ.任务型阅读Alice is a college student and in her internship(实习期)now. Last month, she bought a scarf which she really liked. It cost her more than 50 dollars. It’s not cheap, but it made her happy, because she had dreamed of having one for a long time.Every morning, when she puts on her new scarf, she feels so happy that it seems the whole day is full of hope. Alice has been used to rewarding(奖励)herself through shopping. This hobbyalso drives her to work hard and makes her life keep getting better.But her mother, Mrs. Miller thinks quite differently. When Mrs. Miller knew the price of Alice’s new scarf, they started to argue with each other and the argument(争执)lasted for almost a whole day. Her mother thought that she shouldn’t spend so much money on it, while Alice thought her mother didn’t understand her at all.But Alice didn’t know that her mother’s life was very hard. When Mrs. Miller was very young, she could not find enough clothes to wear in winter. She needed to learn how to spend every penny(便士,货币单位)as if it were two so that she could survive(生存).It’s just natural that two people can’t understand each other because they have different experiences. Then, how can we change the situation?Try to be patient with the people around you. Try to get to know them. And try to stand in their shoes. If Alice follows the advice, I think she will get on well with her mother.根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
