When I was seven years old, my mom was diagnosed（诊断）with cancer. The doctors told us my mom might be saved with operation. But it could also kill her. She chose to have it.

The day before the operation I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come and see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. We had a picnic in the park, and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was really happy. I would never forget her smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations we shared.

My mother managed to live through the operation. Now when I look back, I realize that the best day of my life could be her last and this could be the last day I would remember with her, the last one we shared. I also understand how unselfish a mother is.

People like to talk about “first”. They like to remember their first love or their first car. But not all firsts are happy ones. Few people enjoy the firsts that are bad.

A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At that time, bicycle riders were still trying to get used to（习惯） the new set of wheels on the road. No one was sure who was at fault（过错）. Anyway, a bike and a car collided. The man on the bike was hurt. The driver of the car had to stay in prison（监狱） and wait for the hospital report on the bike rider. It was lucky that the bike rider was not killed.

Three years later, another car accident happened. It was again in New York City. He was hit by a passing car. Again, no one was sure just how it happened or who was at fault. The driver of the car was put into prison. Poor Mr Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident.

八、阅读回答问题

任务型阅读

These days, we can share many things, such as bikes, cars and chargers(充电宝). Now,a “sharing bookstore” has also come out.

Sanxiaokou Xinhua Bookstore, the world’s first sharing bookstore, opened on July 16 in Hefei, Anhui Province, according to China News. It sells book as normal (普通的) bookstores. But at the same time, it allows readers to take books home for free to read after paying a 99 yuan deposit (押金). They can borrow books by scanning a QR code (扫二维码) on the book.

The bookstore is quite popular among the city’s readers. By Aug 26, more than 100,000 books had been borrowed. The number of visitors to the bookstores grows by 50 percent. The bookstore is going to open nine more stores in other places of the city.

But some people question (质疑) that these sharing bookstores are just like libraries.

“Although the two both rent (出租) books, sharing bookstores have more kinds of books,” Xu Xinwei, the store’s deputy manager (副店长), told China News that they also renew (更新) their book selection more often than libraries.

56．Good morning, everyone! I think everyone will agree with the saying that “Failure is the mother of success.” When I was in Grade 7, I took part in the 100-meter race in school sports meeting. I was not fast enough to win any prize. And I was really sad. But my mother told me not to give up. So I kept practicing running after school every day and won first prize in the race in the following year. From this experience, I learn that we should never give up when we are facing difficulties. And I think if we try hard enough, we’ll finally succeed.

Don’t be afraid of failures. If you learn how to deal with failures, you will surely taste success in the end.
