24、Dad recently read me a speech, hoping to satisfy my endless search for answers-answers to everything. Ever since I was very young, I’ve asked countless times “What should I do?”, trying to avoid making mistakes. Maybe I feared to take my first baby step on my own I think.

During my middle school years, I changed. It was when I decided to try for the lead in Beauty and the Beast (野兽) without asking Dad for advice. Never mind that I would have to memorize lines and movements, and I would take the chance that I might fail.

On the day of audition (试镜), I kept telling myself, “If you don’t think you can do it the right way, just don’t go.” My heart was pounding; my hands were shaking so badly that I wasn’t certain whether people would hear me.

But something happened. When I opened my mouth, I found the sound was loud, powerful and sweet! And I even reached the high notes that I’d never reached! It was fantastic! I was trying bravely even though I might fail. But I didn’t. That audition wasn’t the end of the trap that kept me from trying, but it was definitely an important part of the process of growing.

That day, I realized that if I want to live my life to the fullest, I have to push myself. Because my parents, friends and teachers don’t always have the answer to “What should I do?”.

Now, I do take these chances, with baby steps, every day, like voicing my opinions in class discussions, riding my horse over a three-foot jump...

“Life is learning to deal with Plan B.” Dad stated in his speech. But I now know the Plan As I make for my life will become easier and easier with every chance I take.

【1】When the author was young, she ________.

A．always liked to ask her father some strange questions

B．was afraid to fail and just wanted to do things the right way

C．often listened to Dad’s speeches at school

D．always compared Plan A to Plan B before acting

【2】What happened to the author on the day of audition?

A．She found it hard to remember all the lines and movements.

B．No one could hear her clearly since her voice was shaking.

C．She successfully beat herself and performed much better than she’d expected.

D．She regretted not accepting Dad’s advice.

【3】The father mentioned Life is learning to deal with Plan B because he ________.

A．wished the author could keep searching for answers

B．expected the author to avoid mistakes in life

C．believed Plan B was always much easier than Plan A

D．hoped the author could try things bravely and never fear to make mistakes

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．The author was scared of taking her first step when she was just a baby.

B．It was never hard for the author to reach high notes while she was singing.

C．The audition made the author more confident in life.

D．People around the author always warned her against making mistakes.

【5】The best title of the passage could be ________.

A．Taking Chances

B．The Process of Growing

C．Answers in Life

D．An Unexpected Audition

27、I would like to talk to you about one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. I was born and raised there and now I visit it from time to time. My family moved to the city, so I only go back to see friends or to camp and fish.

I grew up in a small town called Antonito Co. It is surrounded by mountains. So camping is a big source of happiness in the valley. There are so many beautiful places to hike.

The town itself is very small. It is said that if you blink (眨眼) when you’re going through it, you’ll miss it. This has some truth in it considering the size of the town. We have one grocery store (杂货店), a tiny post office , and a tiny bank. There are also a few gas stations, bars, some excellent restaurants, a small hospital and of course several schools. However, for clothing and shoes, you have to drive thirty miles to Alamosa to shop there.

Everyone in the town is nice and we all know each other. The crime rate (率) is zero unless you count some weekend fights that break out because some people drink too much. The classes in school are small, so you get a lot of attention from the teacher.

You’re probably wondering why I don’t live there. Well, I can’t get a job there. A lot of the businesses are family-owned. And they never fire(解雇) their employees. So the employees work there usually until they retire(退休). Most people have to go to other places to get a job.

【1】What can you find in the writer’s hometown?

a. bank

b. a post office

c. some gas stations and bars

d. a clothing store

e. a shoe shop

f. some restaurants and a hospital

A. abce   B. bdef   C. abcf   D. cdef

【2】Which is the following statements is TRUE?

A. Teachers pay more attention to the students because they work hard.

B. It is great fun for the writer to go camping in the valley.

C. It’s common to see some drunken people in the writer’s hometown.

D. The writer moved to the city because he didn’t like his hometown.

【3】We can learn from the last paragraph that in the writer’s hometown   .

A. not many job chances are provided

B. employees don’t make much money

C. most people live a very hard life

D. only the old still live there

28、   I'm sure many people are working hard for a lot of money, a big house, a new car, expensive clothes and so on. Those are s【1】 as the symbols of success on the material (物质的) level. When I was y【2】 , I was also crazily reaching for material success. I chose a j【3】 as a salesman and I did make some pretty good money.

But later I realized that was not what I wanted, because I was often forced to s【4】 products that might not be good for customers. I became very unhappy even though I could make a lot of money. I no longer felt p【5】 of my job and even looked down upon myself for doing things like that. So I gave up my job and t【6】 another job, this time it was helping people in need—the poor and the w【7】. The sense of belonging was great and suddenly I felt good about my life a【8】. I made less money but I was p【9】 with myself.

For my own past, success comes from the feeling of satisfaction and joy. I feel successful when I love what I do, not caring so much about money. And I feel the most successful when I s【10】 my kindness everywhere.
