Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had an aversion to math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related (有关的) to math.

However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. A’s class.

Mr. A always greeted (迎接) us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive! It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.

I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Mr. A. We didn’t know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes (态度).

Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding (提醒) me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!”

(    )34. What does the underlined word"aversion"in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Interest B. Responsibility.

C. Dislike D. Misunderstanding.

(    )35. What first made the author look forward to math class?

A. Mr. A’s attitude. B. He interest in math.

C. Her friends’ encouragement. D. The top achievers in her class.

(    )36. How did the author feel about her talk over lunch with Mr. A?

A. It was straight. B. It was awkward.

C. It was challenging. D. It was impressive.

(    )37. How did the author change in math?

A. She made slow progress.

B. She fell in love with math.

C. She became a straight-A math student.

D. She became comfortable with difficult math questions.

(C)

The first week of September was a week that I had been expecting all summer. I didn’t want summer to end. But I was excited about going to high school for my first week.

When I got to school in the morning on the first day I realized how large the school was, and how many students went there. I ended up in the wrong classroom because of the size of the school. Luckily, a kind senior showed up and guided me to my homeroom before I was late. I was happy to see that in a class of unfamiliar (不熟悉的) faces, the only open seat was next to my good friend, Casey. My science teacher seemed like a good teacher. She was exciting and fun.

After finishing four periods without too much of a challenge, I didn’t feel too bad about ninth grade. However, the fifth period changed everything. I didn’t feel ready after all. My teacher’s name is Mr. Valassidis but he told us to call him Mr. V. Mr V told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year. I love reading and writing, but come on, 40 ESSAYS? AP-level books? Now I was afraid.

The courses in high school seem like they’re going to get much harder, but they haven’t yet. Even though my classes look hard, they look really exciting too.

The first week passed quickly. Although a lot of things were overwhelming (令人不知所措的): the size of the campus, the crowds (人群) and the seniors, having a totally different experience than I had ever had before was really exciting. Now, I’m really happy about high school. I have lots of friends in my classes, I really like my teachers and I’m meeting new people.

(    )38. How did the author feel when his high school life was about to start?

A. Happy. B. Nervous. C. Relaxed. D. Helpless.

(    )39. What happened to the author on his first day of high school?

A. He was late for class. B. He was praised by Mr. V.

C. He got lost on the campus. D. He met Casey for the first time.

(    )40. What made the author afraid?

A. The strict rules in classes.

B. How his science teacher behaved.

C. What he was expected to do with his studies.

D. The reading homework on the first day of high school.

(    )41. Which of the following can best describe the author’s first week of high school?

A. Hard and unexpected. B. Busy but eye-opening.

C. Tiring but meaningful. D. Different and exciting.

(D)

My eyes filled with tears as I thought about his new journey in the morning. My baby was off to high school.

I thought back to his first day of kindergarten (幼儿园). How he ran in excitement to the bus as my heart broke, how his smiling face in the window caused my tears to flow. I thought about how hard it was to let go of his hand and let him fly on his own for the first time. But this time, I found it was even harder.

Kindergarten is paper and glue sticks. High school is computer projects and technology you don’t understand. Kindergarten is Mother’s Day gifts made with handprints. High school is a funny card and a “Love you, Ma.” Kindergarten is afternoons at the park. High school is keys to the car. Kindergarten is excited talk about his day. High school is just “My day was fine, Ma.”

Kindergarten is the beginning. High school is the beginning of the end. You know that your time with him at home will become less and less. The moments where your family will always feel complete at the end of the day are coming to an end. I’ve raised him to leave us. I’ve raised him to be independent (独立的), and I’m watching him pull away, one day at a time.

As I watched him board the bus to high school, my eyes filled with tears again and my heart ached more deeply than it did on his first day of kindergarten. The bus pulled away, and my eyes met his. He gave a quick wave (挥手) and mouthed, “Love you.” And then he made a silly face, and he wanted his mom to go back into the house now and set her mind at rest. I waved back and laughed. High school, here we come.

(    )42. How did the author find sending her son to high school?

A. It was more difficult than sending him to kindergarten.

B. It would allow her more free time to enjoy life.

C. It was much easier than she had expected.

D. It would steal his love for her.

(    )43. What’s the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 3?

A. To tell interesting stories of her son.

B. To describe her feelings about her son.

C. To compare kindergarten and high school.

D. To show it’s important for kids to be independent.

(    )44. What does the author mean by saying “High school is the beginning of the end” in paragraph 4?

A. Her son is going to college.

B. Her son will leave her someday.

C. Her son has completed middle school.

D. Her son must spend more time at school.

(    )45. Why did the author’s son make a silly face on the bus?

A. To stop the author from worrying about him.

B. To make himself less nervous about high school.

C. To keep the tears in his eyes secret from the author.

D. To show his excitement about going to high school.

How to Pick a Great Book to Read

The world is full of great books, just waiting to be read. How can you pick one you’ll really like? Here are some tips:

●What makes you happy?

    16    Are you really into dinosaurs or dogs or a specific person? Are there a few careers you’re interested in? You can find books about almost anything you like, and you’re more likely to enjoy reading a book if you’re already interested in its subject.

●Fact or fiction?

Some books are entirely made up and imagined. Those are called fiction books. Novels, short stories are all examples of fiction. These books can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience.

Non-fiction books give you the who, what, when and why.    17    Non-fiction books can bring everything to life from the first trip to the moon to what it’s like to explore the deepest oceans. Try both fiction and non-fiction books to see which you like better.

●Find a family favorite.

What was your mother’s favorite book when she was your age? Or your dad’s?    18    Then you can talk about what they liked about it and share your thoughts. It’s a fun way to get to know your family a little better, and to find a book you’ll enjoy!

●    19    

Your local library is a great place to find books that you’ll love, and you don’t have to search all by yourself.

Tell a librarian about your interests—rock stars, sports teams, historical events, whatever you’re into—and the names of some books you already like. Your librarian can help you find other books that you’re sure to love.

●Launch a book trade.

    20    It’s always fun to see what your friends are reading. Even if they’re not exactly bookworms, you can all encourage each other to read and share books and authors you like.You also can look for book trades in your area.It’s a great way to build your personal library for free!

A. Ask an expert.

B. Ask them and give it a read.

C. Many of them read novels from start to finish.

D. Why not get some friends together and trade favorite books?

F. They tell stories using facts—but that doesn’t mean they’re boring.

G. Read the passage and decide for yourself whether it seems knowledgeable.
