I felt excited, curious and nervous at the same time. I was excited because I would be skipping(跳级)two grades. I was curious because I didn't know how high school students were taught. However, I was most nervous at the idea that I would be doing high school homework.
I had just walked into the class when the bell rang. This wasn't a good start. But the kid in front of me looked very friendly. Luckily, since it was the first day of school, my teacher talked for about half of the period and  we just had the rest of the period to start the class. I didn't know what he was saying at first, but when I saw the problems on the paper, I knew what to do.
The next day, the kid said hi and I said hi back. We got into a conversation. It seemed that whenever I was talking to my friend, everyone stopped staring at (盯着看)me. Then the class started. It was easy. But I was still uncomfortable because I couldn't look around without meeting others’eyes, so I just kept my eyes on the whiteboard and on my textbook.
However, my friend didn't show up the next day, and the eighth graders just kept on staring at me. I didn't know why.
The next day everything changed. My friend was back to school. I was praised for my homework. Everyone stared at me less. Some started to be a little friendlier towards me. I felt at home at last here. My teachers also seemed pretty nice.

When Sally Ride was ten years old, she had no idea that she would some day grow up to be one of America’s first woman astronauts. In fact, if you had asked her then what wanted to be, she would have said, “ I want to play shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers.” Sally collected baseball cards by the boxful, and she knew the name and batting average (击球率)of every player in the National League.
But major league baseball didn’t seem much of a possibility for a girl, even an athletic one like Sally, so her father and mother talked her into taking tennis lessons when she was twelve. At first she hated to trade in her baseball bat for a tennis racket, but it wasn’t long before she started to win tournaments in her new sport. “ Tennis became much more fun when I started winning,” Sally remembers. Soon a row of trophies (奖牌)replaced her box of baseball cards, and tennis star Billie Jean King replaced Dodger shortstop Maury Wills as her sports idol.
Sally first became interested in the space program in 1962 when astronaut John Glenn orbited the earth in his Mercury space capsule. Sally was ten years old at the time, but she remembers the launch and the splashdown (掉落) as if they happened yesterday. The girl who used to memorize batting averages became a space fan. She quickly learned the name of every NASA astronaut(there were only eight of them in 1962), the date of every launch, and the name and number of every spacecraft from Freedom 7 to Skylab 3. She could tell you the speed of light (186,300 miles per second), the distance to the moon (238,860 miles), and the names of the three nearest stars( the Sun, Alpha Centauri, and Barnard’s Star).
By the time she was sixteen, Sally had decided to become an astrophysicist, a scientist who studies space. She had also become a nationally ranked tennis player. She remembers yawning(打哈欠) through an important tennis match on June 20, 1969, after staying up all night to watch Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon. Sally lost the match.
As Sally got older, many of her friends started playing professional tennis. Some of them tried to talk her into quitting school to join them on the professional tennis circuit. But Sally said no. “ Black holes are more interesting to me than backhands,” she told them. Now she knows that she made the right choice, but in 1970 Sally had no way of knowing that NASA would open the space program to women.
小题1:At the age of twelve, Sally Ride ________.
A.was interested in playing tennis
B.was persuaded into taking tennis training
C.began to become interested in space
D.decided to become an astrophysicist
小题2:Sally Ride lost the match on June, 1969 just because________.
A.she was tired
B.she couldn’t decide whether to be an astrophysicist
C.she couldn’t decide whether to take part in a professional tennis circuit
D.she wasn’t interested in tennis
小题3:From the story we know that Sally ________.
A.had been a professional baseball player
B.had never been a professional player
C.had never been a woman astrophysicist
D.wasn’t interested in space program
小题4:A capsule is ________.
A.the name of the neareast star
B.a place where the American astronauts and the crew work
C.a place where astronauts and the crew are trained
D.a container of the crew and astronauts detached(分离) from a rocket
小题5:Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A.According to the story, Sally Ride is a woman astrophysicist.
B.The ambition of becoming a woman astronaut was made in Sally’s childhood.
C.Freedom 7 and Skylab 3 are the names of the nearest stars.
D.Sally didn’t quit her schooling at the time as she knew sooner or later NASA would hire woman astronaut.

Then we went towards the driving          site.
I waited twenty minutes---just enough time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my         . I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite well. The         that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well and I passed it.
The          of my mum made her face softer. I knew her worry was gone and she was happy for me.

There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions. He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup for the Rose of the Year.
Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted (引诱) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.
But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others.
At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble; the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.
小题1:It was Mr. Flowers’ hope to ________.
A.build glass-houses in his free time 
B.grow the Rose of the Year in a silver cup
C.win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new color
D.grow a rose with the longest name.
小题2:Boys were often tempted to ________.
A.throw stones at Mr. Flowers’ glass-house 
B.throw stones at Mr. Flowers from their school
C.be in or near by Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses 
D.play with Mr. Flowers near his glass-houses
小题3:Mr. Flowers stayed in or near by his glass-houses _______.
A.at times when school-boys were walking near them
B.all the school day when there were no boys about
C.where he could not be seen by the boys passing
D.in his free time at the beginning and end of the school day
小题4:Mr. Flowers had tried to ______ to protect his glass.
A.be on watch in his free time B.ask the headmaster for help
C.pick up all the stones around his garden D.do all the above
小题5:Mr. Flowers’ good idea was to ______.
