　　Even before my father left us，my mother had to go back to work to support our family.Once I came out of the kitchen，complaining，“Mom，I can't peel potatoes.I have only one hand.”

　　Mom never looked up from sewing.“You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes，” she told me.“And don't ever use that as an excuse for anything again！”

　　In the second grade，our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars，swinging from one high steel rod to the next.When it was my turn，I shook my head.Some kids behind me laughed，and I went home crying.

　　That night I told Mom about it.She hugged me，and I saw her “we'll see about that”look.The next afternoon，she took me back to school.At the deserted playground，Mom looked carefully at the bars.

　　“Now，pull up with your right arm，”she advised.She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow.Day after day we practiced，and she praised me for every rung I reached.I'd never forget the next time，crossing the rungs.I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.

　　One night，after a dance at my new junior high school，I lay in bed sobbing.I could hear Mom come into my room.“Mum，”I said，weeping，“none of the girls would dance with me.”

　　For a long time，I didn't hear anything.Then she said，“Oh，honey，someday you'll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking.I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks.Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf.She had never let me see her tears.

　　One day I was sitting at the desk doing my math homework.Grandpa came over.My exercise book was in a mess.I was afraid that he might see it and blame me for that.

　　After a while，he patted me on the shoulder gently and said，“Keep it neat—that's the secret.” He then explained that when he checked his students' homework，he would like the neat ones.I still remember the lively examples he told me.For example，I can keep all my equal signs in line down the page when I'm doing equations(方程式).I made up my mind to do better in future.

　　After finishing math homework， I began to write an English essay，but I could not think of anything to write.I asked，“Grandpa，is there a secret to writing essays？”

　　He smiled，which made me feel warm and relaxed.“If there's a secret，I suppose it's imagination.If your essays lack it，anyone reading what you've written will lose track of what you are trying to say.”

　　He continued，“Don't worry，Adam.We've all got an imagination.Well，if you're stuck，just look up any of your reading books to see how it's done.Your Harry Potter books will do.”I nodded.

　　“Who's to say you can't be as successful a writer as J.K.Rowling one day？Just use your imagination；write a sentence and think of one to follow it， and then keep going...”

　　“Thanks，Grandpa.”I practiced using imagination to guide my writing from then on.

　　Thanks to the two secrets， my exercise book is clean and tidy now and I can write very good essays.

　　5.The author's grandpa advised him to.

　　答案：C

　　C

　　Every kid more or less complains about school.But five to ten percent of kids dislike it so much that they don't want to attend.If a child seems upset or anxious about school，pretends to be sick to stay at home，repeatedly winds up in the nurse's or principal's office，or refuses to talk about the school day，you should be concerned.

　　One fear that keeps children from enjoying school is separation anxiety.It most frequently occurs during times of family problems or when a child is

　　about to enter a new school.With younger kids，watch how you say good­bye those first few days of school.A firm “Have a great day，and I'll pick you up at 230！”is more confidence­inspiring than “Don't worry.I can be there in ten minutes if you need me.”

　　You can help your child handle fearful situations—from speaking up in class to taking tests—by rehearsing at home.Help make large projects less discouraging by breaking them into manageable pieces.Teach your child to replace thoughts such as “I'm going to fail” with “I can handle this”.

　　Some kids dislike school because they have no friends.This may be the case if your child is always alone，fakes illness to avoid class outings or gives away treasured possessions in an attempt to be liked.Often loneliness problems can be solved by improving social skills.A child may need to learn how to look others in the eye when he speaks，or how to talk above a whisper—or below a yell.You might teach a young child a few “friendship openers”，such as “My name's Tom.What's yours？Do you want to play games？”

　　9.When a school boy has separation anxiety，he is .

　　A.worried about his study

　　B.uncertain if he can deal with his family

　　C.eager to go to school

　　D.unwilling to leave his family for school

　　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句和第二段第一句内容可推知如果孩子有了孤立的焦虑，就不愿离开家去上学。

　　答案：D

　　10.Which of the following is NOT a fearful situation for a new school kid？

　　A.Making a public speech.

　　B.Taking an examination.

　　C.Finishing a lot of housework.

　　D.Doing a big amount of homework.

　　解析：细节推断题。根据第三段前两句可知应选C。本文探讨的是如何让刚入校的孩子克服恐惧感，C项涉及的是家务劳动，与学校生活无关。

　　答案：C

　　11.When a child gives his beloved toy to an unfamiliar classmate，he must be stuck in .

　　A.separation anxiety

　　B.complaints about school

　　C.a loneliness problem

　　D.a fearful situation

　　解析：推理判断题。最后一段前两句中提到一些孩子不喜欢上学是因为他们没有朋友，他们可能总是独自来往，假装生病，或者把珍贵的东西送给别人来讨对方的欢心，由此可推断这样的孩子患有孤独症。

　　答案：C

　　12.Which of the following best shows the composition of the passage？

　　(1)­Paragraph 1　(2)­Paragraph 2

　　(3)­Paragraph 3

　　(4)­Paragraph 4

　　A.(1)→(2)→(3)→(4)

　　Boxing Day

　　This holiday，which is observed on Dec.26，is a unique part of the Christmas season in Great Britain，as well as other Commonwealth nations.Boxing Day comes from a tradition that began in the Middle Ages more than 800 years ago.On this day，English churches would open their “alms box” and distribute its contents to needy members of the community.It was also a day for servants to celebrate the holiday with their families，usually having worked the day before.Today，Boxing Day is one of the twentytwo paid holidays received by most working Brits.Most people now spend Christmas Day with their family and reserve Boxing Day for exchanging gifts with friends.Although the government shuts down for the day，cinemas and theatres are open.

　　Queen's Telegram

　　In the United States，if you make it to the ripe old age of 101 or 102， Willard Scott will wish you happy birthday on national television.In England，the Queen herself will send her congratulations.This fairly new custom is known as “the Queen's Telegram” and assures centenarians(people at least 100 years old) that they will receive a birthday telegram from the queen on their onehundredth birthday.The telegram is so longed for by some Brits that one 98yearold woman was recently proved to have faked her age by two years just to receive the telegram.

　　High Tea

　　High tea was first enjoyed by the English working class during the 1700s.This tradition began as a practical attempt to hold off hunger pains between breakfast and supper，as eating just two daily meals was common at the time.It was called “high” tea because it was usually taken sitting on top of stools in a tea shop or standing at a counter or buffet table.Today，high tea has become a more elegant and popular tradition that is practiced in fine hotels and restaurants around the world.

　　Public Houses

　　Visiting a pub is one of Britain's oldest forms of entertainment.The idea for the first public houses was brought to Britain thousands of years ago by the conquering Roman army.The first pubs served wine， but after the discovery of hops(啤酒花) in the 14th century，pubs began to serve mainly beer and ale(麦芽酒)，as they do today.

　　British pubs operate between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. every day except Sunday，when they must close at 10∶30 p.m.

　　The drinking age in Britain is eighteen，but fourteenyearolds may enter a pub unaccompanied if they order a meal.
