    Every school has an ugly girl. In my primary school, it was me.
    From first grade through fourth, I had to wear heavy orthopedic(整形外科的)shoes because of my weak ankles. I sounded like overweight elephant wearing bricks whenever I took a single step.
    “Hey, Bigfoot!”
    “Geez, you’re going to start an earthquake!”
    Then in sixth grade I had to start wear glasses. Mom asked for the least expensive ones and that made me look like a fool.
    “Four eyes!”
    “Couldn’t you cover up more of your faces? Why stop at the eyes?”
    In Seventh, I started competing on the city swim team, thinking that if I got a killer body, nobody would notice my face. Wrong again. I loved being fast and winning ribbons now and then, but now I had red, wet eyes from the chlorine(氯) in the pool. I also did not develop a killer body.
    I changed my strategy at Eighth grade, the last year of middle school. I offered my help to anyone who needs. I worked for other girls, so they could hang out with their friends. My new program began to work. People who would never have acknowledged my existence before were suddenly seeking me out.
    I’d been feeling pretty good until one day I went to Christine’s house to help her fill envelopes. Going into each envelope was invitation to Christine’s birthday party; it was a big event at a fancy hotel. Complete with dinner. She asked me to help her address these envelopes. There was no envelope for me.
    My heart was broken. I tried to escape from all the eyes. High school had to be better, right？ Yes and no. Now that I’m here, I know there are still lots of shallow people judging you on what you’re wearing or how cool your hair is , but there are also kids who talk to you because they liked your answers or just as you’re kind, honest, and a good friend.
    I still do kind things because I like the feeling I get when I am helping people. I, with my friends, went to Children’s hospital, playing games and reading to the sick kids.
    I still had wet red and not a smart look, but you cannot tell me I am not beautiful. Every time I visit hospital, five-year-old Terry grasps my hand, “Morri, you are so nice. I want to grow up to be just like you.”
    小题1:Why was Morri laughed at by her classmates when she was in primary school?
    A．She had weak ankles and eyesight.
    B．Her glasses couldn’t cover up her face.
    C．She couldn’t get along well with them.
    D．She looked like an overweight elephant.
    小题2:Which of the following is the real reason for Morri competing on the city swim team?
    A．To win more ribbons.
    B．To shift others’ attention from her face.
    C．To develop a killer body.
    D．To have red wet eyes.
    小题3:From what Morri experienced in the last year of middle school, we can learn that __________.
    A．her classmates thought highly of her
    B．she was popular among her classmates
    C．she was often cheated by her classmates
    D．her classmates just made use of her
    小题4:The passage is intended to encourage people to __________.
    A．address as many as invitation envelopes as possible
    B．take more sport activities including swimming
    C．take others’ comments into careful consideration
    D．take positive attitude towards disadvantages in life

    小题1:A
    小题2:B
    小题3:D
    小题4:D

    When us teenager Jake Olson isn’t playing football or golf for his high school, he’s often offering inspiration through his new book about his own life.
    These activities might be too much for the average 16-year-old to deal with, but Jake is blind. When people ask him how he can possibly play golf without being able to see the ball, he says he is thankful for his father’s guidance.
    It seems apparent that his early experience playing sports as a person with sight and muscle memory— repeating behaviors over and over until they become second nature — have also enabled Jake to hit the ball quite well.
    Jake was born with a rare kind of eye cancer that took away the vision from his left eye when he was an infant  and eventually his right eye, in 2009, when he was 12 years old. Rather than letting the disease hold him back, Jake used his loss of sight and his faith as sources of motivation .
    “If I was going to sit on the couch all day feeling sorry for myself, I wasn’t going to do anything. I decided right then and there that I wasn’t going to let it stop me and that I was going to go out and persevere (坚持不懈),” he said.
    It was with that mind-set that the student from Orange Lutheran High School in California was able to write his first book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life. “It’s about opening the readers’ eyes to their true potential in life and making sure that they use all the abilities that they have,” Jake said.
    Jake’s father, Brian Olson, said the family is impressed with what he has done with his life, including showing people that they can get through hardships. “Your darkest hour can soon become your brightest, and with every setback, there’s a setup,” Jake said. “In every one of us, there’s more potential than we can ever imagine, and it really is a choice.”
    小题1:We can learn from the article that Jake Olson ______.
    A．was born a blind child
    B．could have been a golf master
    C．has great muscle memory
    D．is trying to find the cure for his disease
    小题2:According to the article, Jake’s family members ______.
    A．pity him deeply
    B．once gave up hope on him
    C．encouraged him to write the book
    D．admire his efforts and determination
    小题3:The purpose of the book Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life is to ______.
    A．promote good approaches to getting along with disabled people
    B．inspire people to discover and use their hidden abilities
    C．help people come up with better life goals
    D．explain different definitions of “a happier life”
    小题4:The underlined word “setback” is closest in meaning to ______.
    A．fight B．failureC．opportunity D．success

    Shirley Temple, who died on February 10, 2014, was that rare example of a Hollywood child star who, when the cameras stopped rolling, carved out a new career.
    For four years, she was Hollywood’s biggest box-office star representing the kind of sweet, innocent girl that everyone wanted as their daughter. However, years later, she reappeared as a successful politician.
    Shirley Temple was born in Santa Monica, California on 23 April 1928. Encouraged by her mother, she learned to dance while she was just three.
    In 1934, Stand Up and Cheer became her first film and the film was a great success. At the age of six she was earning $1,250 a week — more than $21,000 at today’s values.
    Across the world, audiences flocked to see her in films such as Little Miss Marker, The Little Colonel and The Littlest Rebel.
    In 1935 she was awarded a special Oscar (Academy Award) and her foot and hand prints were added to those of stars such as Jean Harlow and Mary Pickford outside Grauman’s Chinese theatre in Hollywood. The peak of her film career came in 1939 when The Little Princess became a box-office success.
    Temple starred in a total of 43 feature films. But she found it difficult to maintain her film career in adulthood and retired from Hollywood in 1950.
    She disappeared from the spotlight for nearly 20 years. She returned to the public eye in 1967, as a Republican candidate for Congress. When Nixon became president, he rewarded her with an appointment to the American delegation to the United Nations. Then, in 1974, President Ford appointed her the United States Ambassador(大使) to Ghana. George Bush Snr, appointed her Ambassador to Czechoslovakia.
    Shirley Temple drew a line between her childhood stardom and her later political career. “Some people are stuck on this image of the little girl,” she once said. “She is not me. We shouldn’t live in the past; my life is now.” Nevertheless, for many across the world, the name Shirley Temple always called to mind a superstar child.
    小题1:Shirley Temple died at the age of _____.
    A．75B．80C．86D．90
    小题2:What happened to Shirley Temple when she was 7 years old?
    A．She won a special Oscar.

    I arrived in the classroom，ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English literature class．Having taught in the US for 17 years，I had no      about my ability to hold their attention and to  on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue．
    I was shocked when the monitor shouted，“    !” The entire class rose as I entered the room，and I was somewhat      about how to get them to sit down again，but once that awkwardness (尴尬) was over，I quickly      calmness and began what I thought was a fact—packed lecture，sure to gain their respect—perhaps    their admiration．I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a(n)      of achievement．
    My students    diaries．However，as I read them，the happy mood was gradually    by a strong sense of sadness．The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today．    her next lecture will be better．”Greatly surprised，I read diary after diary，each expressing a     theme．“Didn’t I teach them anything?
