     I found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging. I was younger than I
thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was going to become one myself. I admit, it
was not a role that I was emotionally ready to accept. I had been a young mother, and had certainly hoped my daughter would not face that same challenge. I remarried when she was a teenager, and then had two more children. On getting the news that she was expecting, I remember thinking "What do I know about
being a grandmother? -I haven't even finished raising my own kids yet!" I don't like to be unprepared, so I read a few books about grandparenting. That gave me a little help, but I was still uncertain. I thought about other grandmothers I knew, and got a few ideas I liked and a few more that I didn't. But I couldn't quite
figure out what kind of grandmother I wanted to be. Then I thought about my own grandmother, Granny,
as she's known by most people, and I knew I had the answer.
     I didn't realize it until that moment, but my own grandmother was the example for the kind of
grandmother I wanted to be. I am fortunate that I got to spend a lot of time with my grandparents when I was a little kid. Here's what I learned from my Granny:
     Grandmothers always have a cookie jar. For my entire life, Granny always had a cookie jar full of
cookies. When I was a little tiny girl, just at eye level with the counter, Granny would get the cookie jar
down for me. When I was a little older I learned how to pull the chair over so I could reach. As I got taller, if I really stretched, I could reach the cookie jar with my finger tips and move it close enough to get it down off the counter to find out what kind of treat was inside. Always the first thing I did when I went to
Granny 's house was check the cookie jar and there were always cookies in it. Many years later, I'll drive my own children to Granny's house and the first thing Pd do is get us all a cookie.
     So grandmothers must have a cookie jar and on my granddaughte' s first Christmas, my daughter
bought me my own cookie jar. She said when they came to see me, her daughter would find the treat the way she did and I did.
1. The writer thought it was a little discouraging to be a grandmother because________.
A.she was not old enough to be one
B.she was not emotionally ready to be one
C.she thought her daughter was too young to be a mother
D.grandmother should be older than she was
2. The underlined phrase "that same challenge " in the first paragraph refers to" ________"
A. taking care of a grandchild
B. taking care of a baby
C. being a young grandmother
D. being a young mother
3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________.
A.the writer has many happy memories of her grandmother's cookie jar
B.the writer always wanted to know what was inside her grandmother's cookie jar
C.the writer often drove her grandchildren to see her grandmother's cookie jar
D.womenof the writer 's age all have a cookie jar for their grandchildren

     "I didn't hear them call my name." explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about
that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004."Are you
ready?" is what she heard.Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said 'yes' and it was
announced again."
     It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeenyearold high school student from
Destrehan, Louisiana-she was still on_cloud_nine.
     "I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience (观
众) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.
     Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance
teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比赛). "She's always been my role model.I've danced
with her since I was six.She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all.I've learned to
get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."
      One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident.He was 18.She found writing helped her get through the rough days.She
said, "I write a lot about my brother.I write a lot, a lot, a lot..."
     As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers
of drinking and driving.In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe
driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.
      When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone
change you.Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself.That way, it is easy to be
yourself."

     I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely
lined with bookshelves,  most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.In fact,  I grew
up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives
(观点)by creating worlds we could step into,  take part in and live in.
     With this unshakable belief,  I,  at fourteen,  decided to become a writer.Here too,  reading became
useful.Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say,  but being unable to find the right
ways to say it.He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers
he agrees or disagrees with,  or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.He cannot write
without loving to read,  because only through reading other people's  writing can one discover what
works,  what doesn't and,  in the end,  together with lots of practice,  what voice he has.
     Now I am in college,  and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction(文学作品). As
a law student,  my reading is in fact limited to subject matter-the volume(量)of what I have to read for
classes every week means there is little time to read anything else.Such reading made it all the clearer
to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life.Reading fiction reminds me that there
is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road,  all from the
comfort of my own armchair,  to experience,  though secondhand,  exciting experiences that I wouldn't
necessariy be able to have in my lifetime.

1. What can be inferred about the author as a child?

A. He never watched TV.
B. He read what he had to.
C. He found reading unbelievable.
D. He considered reading part of his life.

2. The underlined word"voice"in the second paragraph most probably means"________".

A. an idea
B. a sound quality
C. a way of writing
D. a world to write about

     I was off to go back to work one evening when I saw my two children were busy sewing things on the sewing machine. My 11yearold daughter was, in the midst of her project, going to assist her elder brother
in making a little cushion. I left, and after a few hours returned to find a mess in the kitchen and in the front room, and both children sitting in front of the television.
     Having had a long day, I was too tired to greet them and then I noticed the material my daughter had
used. It had been purchased to make a colorcoordinated (颜色协调的) baby blanket, and now had
chunks (块) cut out of almost every piece of fabric. Not stopping to listen, I exploded at the children and
explained how angry I was at what had been done.
     My daughter listened to me sheepishly, not trying to defend herself at all, but the pain could be seen
written across her face. She retreated to her room, and spent some time there alone before she came out
to say good night and once again apologized for the mistake she had made.
     A few hours later, as I was preparing to go to bed, I found that there on my bed lay a beautiful, little
cushion made out of the forbidden fabric, with the words "I LOVE MOM". Alongside it was a note
apologizing again, and the innocence in which she had taken the fabric.
      To this day, I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how I reacted and still feel the pain of my
actions. It was I who then went to her and apologized for my actions. I display with great pride the
cushion on my bed, and constantly use it to remind me that nothing in this world is greater than a child's
love.

1. The underlined word can be replaced by "________".
A. hopefully came up
B. hopefully went back
C. quietly came up
D. quietly went back

2. What did the children do?
A. They cut out the material and made it into a baby blanket.
B. They cut the material into pieces and used them to clean the TV set.
C. They cut the material into pieces on which they wrote apologizing words.
D. They made a cushion with the material to show their love for Mom.

3. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The two children are good at sewing.
B. The two children are introverted (内向的).
C. The mother is often rude to her children.
D. The mother is regretful for what she did.

4. The passage is mainly to tell about________.
A. a mom's tears
B. a mom's love
C. a child's love
D. a child's complaint
