One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem— inability to read.

In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle(小猎犬). I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. Without opening the book titled Amos, the Beagle with a Plan, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.

Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book.

My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.

I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.

B．The author’s mother read the same book.

C．The author has become a successful writer.

D．The author has had happy summers ever since.

8．Which one could be the best title of the passage?

First of all，students should respect their teachers. They should pay attention in class. That means saluting（向……致敬）the teacher，standing from your chair when the teacher enters the classroom，attending any lesson attentively，etc. In the class of a certain subject or a teacher you don't like very much，if it's total anarchy（混乱），how can we talk about respect？

Play by the rules

If your teacher wants you to use wide-lined paper，do it！If he/she tells you to sharpen your pencils only before class starts，listen to him/her. If he/she doesn't accept late homework，do yours on time. Sometimes classroom rules seem strict or even silly，but most teachers know what's necessary to make things run smoothly and what it takes to let the learning begin. And the better the learning environment is，the smarter you'll be！

Expect him/her to like you

Teachers are teachers because they like kids. Given the chance, most teachers want to be your friends too. Respect your teacher, but don't be afraid of him/her. He/She wants you to have a great school year just as much as you want to have!

Put first things first

Friends are a fun part of school. But sometimes they' re not the most important part. When your teacher is teaching, give him/her your full attention. Even when it's hard to do — recess will come soon, and that's the time for playing with your friends.

9．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A．Advice Before You Go to School

B．What You Should Do at School

C．How to Get Along with Your Teacher

D．How to Plan Your Time at School

10．What do you think the title“Play by the rules”means?

A．Don't play if you haven't completed your homework.

B．Follow what the teacher says.

C．Work is work and play is play.

D．Make the learning environment as good as possible.

11．According to the last paragraph，what do you think the first thing is？

A．The teacher.B．The teacher's lecture.C．The students.D．Friends.

D

    Since I was born and brought up in a rural town, I have a great interest in nature. Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college, I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there. So after I finished the study program, I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.

I clearly remember the sixth night in Yellowknife. Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.

The northern lights were flickering (闪烁) in the sky! I was shocked and just stood there with my mouth open. I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.

Since that night, whenever it was sunny, I went outside at night and looked at the sky. It was so cold that I lost all feeling in my hands and feet.

As I took pictures of the northern lights, I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights. They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky. After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen. Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.

The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky. That’s because they come about from the collisions (碰撞) between atmospheric gases and the solar wind. Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active, which leads to the best northern lights. And the colors of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and the kinds of gases.

12．Why did the host mother ask the author to go out?

A．She wanted to take a picture of her.

B．She wanted to take a walk with him.

C．She wanted to tell him something important.

D．She wanted him to see the northern lights.

13．The author forgot to take pictures after going out because ______.

A．the host mother didn’t remind him to take the camera

B．he was shocked by the wonderful sight

C．the lights flickering in the sky disappeared too soon

D．he lost all feeling in his hands and feet

14．When is the best time to see the northern lights?

A．When they appear in the north part of the sky.

B．When they come down to the south part of the sky.

C．When they are between the north and south.

D．When they rise in the east part of the sky.

15．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A．Ways to take good pictures.

B．The relationship between the sun and the northern lights.

C．The colors of the northern lights.

D．The time of the best northern lights.
