（2022·北京东城·九年级期末）A Dance Competition
Jenny is a seventh grader. She is very good at dancing. Last year, she entered the school’s dance competition and won the first place. Her whole class was there to support her. This year, the school held another dance competition, but there was a change — the competition had to be done in pairs.
Jenny’s class expected her to win the competition again this year, but Jenny was unsure of it because she had never danced with a partner before. She asked some boys in her class to enter with her, but they all said no because they did not know how to dance.
She finally turned to one of her friends, Carl. Carl refused at first because he couldn’t dance either. Jenny insisted. Finally he agreed to join the competition. Jenny was very happy.
The competition was in two months. Jenny made a good plan to increase their chance of winning. On the first few days, Jenny chose a piece of music, and planned out their dance routine（整套动作）. Then they spent two weeks memorizing their steps. It was very difficult for Carl at first, but finally he got the hang of it. They spent the rest of the time perfecting their moves.
The day of the competition arrived. They were going up against nine other pairs, and they were to perform last. The pairs this year were better dancers compared to last year’s competition. Jenny got nervous. Carl noticed this and told her, “It’ll be okay, Jenny. You are great, and I’m sure we’ll win.” Jenny felt better after hearing Carl’s words. Soon, it was their turn to perform. They were off to a great start. People began cheering them on.
After their performance, the judges counted up the scores. Jenny and Carl won! Their hard work finally paid off. They were presented with a trophy（奖杯）, and they were very happy.

I began volunteering with Berkeley Animal Shelter at age 12. I helped get cats adopted(收养), cleaned up after them, fed them, and gave them love and attention. I really feel like I’ve made a difference. There’s nothing like watching a cat go out the door with a happy new pet parent.

Laura
My dad asked me to volunteer at our local Meals on Wheels when I was 13 years old. We volunteered every Saturday morning by sending hot meals to some old people in our town. They were unable to make their own food. This experience made me think a lot more about other people and their needs.

I Was Told I Can
About 6 months ago, I joined a gym. Every morning, there was one trainer who worked out at the same time as I did. He did his daily exercise with such a quiet determination(决心) that he made it all look effortless although I knew all too well how hard he was working.
A couple of weeks ago, I was watching him do chin-ups. I had never tried doing chin-ups before, but it looked so easy, so I asked him if I could try one. He eagerly stepped aside and encouraged me to try. I pulled myself up without thinking … once … then twice. I stopped because that was all I had in me, but he stepped up behind me and pushed me up for two more. It felt so good and I felt strong.
The next few days when I finished my workout, I would ask him to watch me do chin-ups. However, each time I could only do two. I was quite upset, but he told me that when he trained firefighters, men were required to do 5 chin-ups, and women were required to do one or two. Most people couldn’t do them at all, so he was amazed at what I could do. He further told me that if I practiced every day, I would be doing five or six in no time.
Because he told me I could, I didn’t realize how difficult it was. I was encouraged to try and I didn’t doubt it for a moment. I truly thank him for letting me believe that for me success is not only a possibility, but also a realistic goal that I can achieve.

（2022·北京丰台·九年级期末）My mom was badly ill and died on her 50th birthday. Though she tried her best to fight, she just couldn’t get over it.
My mom never took herself too seriously. She just wanted everyone to be happy, and we loved her for it. Even when I was upset with her for not letting me stay overnight with my friends, or when she expressed disappointment that I couldn’t bring my grades up, I still loved her so much. She respected my privacy (隐私). And if I ever needed to talk, she would leave her door wide open and listen to me carefully. She left us too soon, but she left her children with the memory of being loved. My mom wasn’t perfect. But I remember her as perfect, not because she did everything right, but because she tried to know me, to connect with me, and to always make me feel safe and loved.
Ten years after her death, I welcomed my own child into the world. At the beginning, I was just angry. Angry that this new person would never get to know her wonderful grandmother. Angry that I couldn’t pick up the phone and ask my mom how she dealt with this or that. I missed her love. I just missed her.
Later, I accepted and tried to change the situation. How can I give my daughter what my mom managed to give me? Could I be easygoing like her? Will my daughter feel as loved as I did?

（2022·北京海淀·九年级期末）The Art of Singing
When Alana first saw the musical Annie, she knew she wanted to try out for the lead role at sometime in her life. She went home and sang the show tune (曲目) of Annie. She recorded her singing and listened back to it, but it didn’t sound as good as she thought.
“Your voice is like an instrument. You need to learn how to use it,” her mother suggested.
So Alana joined a band and a singing club. She also learned how to read sheet music and other singing skills.
Days later, Alana went to the library and took out some CDs of female artists to listen to. She ran through the female artists and tried very hard to emulate (模仿) their singing. First, Alana put on Aretha Franklin, who is know as the Queen of Soul. Then, she put on Billie Holiday. She learned to relax her neck and shoulders and breathed in from above her belly. Alana found that each singer had their own way of forming the notes. She was amazed to see that the human voice could stretch (伸展) in so many different ways. As Alana experimented with various ways of singing, she got more comfortable with what her own voice naturally sounded like.
Around this time, it was announced that her school would produce their own performance of Annie. Alana wanted the lead!
When she tried out for Annie, she sang very powerfully. “The sun’ll come out.. tomorrow!” she belted out. “You’re only... a dayyy....a... wayyyyy!”
Her music teacher applauded. “Alana, you’ve been working hard to become a better singer. Congratulations! You’ve got the lead role! You’re our new Annie!”
Alana’s dream came true. But she knew her dream didn’t just happen because she wished and hoped it would. She’d been taking lessons and working hard. She walked home whistling (用口哨吹奏) a happy little song.
28．Why did Alana practice singing the show tune of Annie?
A．Because her mother encouraged her to join a band.
B．Because she wanted to try out for the role of Annie.
C．Because Alana would teach her classmates to sing it.

（2022·北京房山·九年级期末）“I don’t want to go, Miss White. I’m frightened, very frightened,” Monica told her teacher. Monica was a very quiet girl. She always sat at the back of the classroom, reading or taking notes. Every Monday morning, there would be a special show in her class and one student would be chosen to make a speech about his or her dream. Miss White hoped that Monica could have a try the next week. But she refused.
“I know that it seems difficult for you, but it will help you build up your confidence,” said Miss White. Monica was lost in thought.
The next day, Monica came to Miss White’s office. Miss White was glad that she would take the chance. Miss White red-penciled her manuscript(手稿) of speech, corrected her pronunciation and even helped with her body language.

Monica’s successful performance brought everyone a great surprise. The whole class clapped (鼓掌) for a full minute when she completed her speech. Miss White smiled. She had known that Monica would make it when she bravely took her first step to overcome(克服) her fear of speaking in public.

（2022·北京房山·九年级期末）I often cycle around Australia and I’m about to cycle the Nularbor to raise money for multiple sclerosis (MS, 多发性硬化症). I have MS myself, but cycling is a pain-free activity for me. I feel quite relaxed after cycling. But a not-so-kind person stole all of my bikes when I was traveling.
I have been shown so many kindnesses since this happened. A kind lady bought a mountain bike for me to continue my riding. A gentleman offered me another bike to continue training on roads. It was almost impossible to find a bike in my size because the bike I had before was very short and required an extra-small frame (框架). And there is a bike supply and demand issue (供需问题). My hometown got behind me to raise some money. With this funds, I have bought a bike that is just the right size for me.
So far, people have offered me places to stay, welcomed me into their warm homes and made sure I have enough water when riding long distances (距离). They also put money in my hands in the street to help me reach my goal. The stolen bikes turned into an interview with ABC Radio and papers in Tasmania.
My point is that there are so many good and kind-hearted people out there. My experience is that people are mainly kind and beautiful. I could never doubt the fact that the world holds more good and kind people than unkind people. That, in itself, is hope! It won’t be long now before I hit the road again and do my bit to give back kindness.

（2022·北京昌平·九年级期末）When I was growing up, I had an old neighbour named Doctor Gibbs. He didn’t look like any other doctor I’d ever known. He never shouted to us for playing in his yard, and was always very kind.
When Doctor Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. He had interesting opinions about planting trees. He hardly watered his new trees, which was quite different from others. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants overprotected them because it made them grow weaker. He said, “Without enough water, they will have to grow deeper roots in order to search for water themselves. Having deeper roots helps them be stronger and live longer.” Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant about 25 years ago. They were all tall and strong.
I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of caring for these trees meant they grew up weak. Hard environment seemed to benefit Doctor Gibbs’ trees in ways comfort never could.
When my son was a little baby, my wife and I often wished that his life would be easy. But now I’ve been thinking that it’s time to change our thought. I know he is going to meet with difficulties. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is expecting him to have deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, he won’t be beaten.
53．Why did Doctor Gibbs hardly water his new trees?
A．He was careless and didn’t like taking care of trees. B．He was too busy in saving lives to water them often.
C．He believed overprotecting them made them weaker. D．He thought it was enough to give the best wishes to trees.
54．What were the trees planted by Dr Gibbs like after 25 years?
A．Tall and strong. B．Short and weak.
C．Short but strong. D．Tall but weak.
55．Which is probably the author’s wish for his son now?
A．Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future. B．Be lucky and experience less difficulties.
C．Stay away from dangerous things in his life. D．Be able to stand the rains and winds in his life.

Karie checked the words carefully on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s Spelling Challenge and a new dictionary. Plus, Ms. Green had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled honesty, not honestly! She deleted the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.
After the break, Ms. Green walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. Then, as if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. Green’s feet flipped into the air. “Congratulations, Karie! You did it!” she announced while upside down. The whole class cheered! Ms. Green presented Karie with her prize. Karie smiled happily for her perfect in spelling.

I misspelled honestly and you didn’t catch it.” “I see.” For a moment, Ms. Green picked up the pen.

The writer has written another book about Nina and because she has such an exciting life. I’ve decided to read that next.

Sally
I come from England. I read Dark by Karen Gates, my favorite writer. It’s quite a sad story, but I thought it was even better than her last one. The story is not only about horses, but also about people. There are long words in the book, but I knew most of them, and I’ve read the story twice now!

Andy
I’m from Canada. I’m reading Goodbye by Philip Tate. There is a great picture on the front.

What a shiny scooter(踏板车)! Sophie couldn’t keep her eyes off it. Her dad noticed.
“Sophie, you have a scooter already, a really nice one!” “I know, but this one is so shiny and new,” Sophie said. “It is great, but it’s not cheap. We have to go,” said her dad.
They left the store. Sophie knew her old scooter was nice, and it still worked. She just couldn’t stop thinking of that new scooter!
A few weeks later, Sophie and her dad were back in the store.
The scooter was just there, with a big sale sign on it! The girl ran right over to it. Her dad looked at the price.

“Really?” Sophie said excitedly. “I promise I will pay you back!”
As they were walking towards the cashier desk (收银台), her dad asked Sophie if she knew what it meant to borrow money.
“Yes, it means that I have to give it back to you,” Sophie answered.
