25、   In my freshman year, I asked myself, “Why am I in school?” I thought I was forced to be there, but I decided just to get along with it until I could find it meaningful.

One day it finally hit me. We were studying Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in our writing class. Each of us was asked to play a part, and I jokingly volunteered to play the nurse. They all laughed, thinking that I, a boy, couldn’t play it, but I decided I was going to be the best nurse ever to appear in the writing class. On the day of the performance, I made it a success, and then I knew what school meant to me. School was then a place where I could explore unknown areas in my mind. Perhaps I hadn’t realized that before because I had never been brave enough to discover it.

To my new-found hunger for learning, I decided that I wouldn’t be shy any more. I began raising my hand higher in class discussions. In oral communication class, I chose unpopular speech topics and made them interesting. In British literature class, I chose to write a song for a creative project. Through these activities, I made classes interesting not only for me, but also for my classmates and teachers.

In short, I have discovered that learning is not something teenagers are forced to experience. Instead, learning is a way teenagers grow. What I want to tell my classmates is that I am a brave and creative actor, musician and writer, whose name each of my teachers knows by the end of their first class, and will be reinforced (增强) each day through my brave behavior.

【1】What’s the matter with the writer in the beginning?

A．He did badly in his studies.

B．He couldn’t get along well with others.

C．He wondered why he went to school.

D．His parents forced him to go to school.

【2】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to the idea that ________.

A．I played the nurse

B．learning in school is disappointing

C．we studied in the writing class

D．learning in school is meaningful

【3】What helped the writer change his thought about school?

A．The performance.

B．The teachers.

C．The class discussions.

D．The speech topics.

【4】In the end, the writer became ________ in learning.

A．serious

B．active

C．unwilling

D．impatient

【5】What can we learn from the writer?

A．We should explore learning bravely.

B．We need to play a part in the writing class.

C．We should make teachers know our names.

D．We can learn to be actors, musicians and writers.

26、   Every year on a special day in March , the world celebrates women's day. Women from different countries have done great achievements and made a difference. The BBC has made a list of the greatest icons of the 20th century. Among the list's 28 people, 11 are women. Let's meet three of them.

Jane Goodall ( 1934-present, UK)

Jane Goodall is one of the most famous zoologists in the world. She studied chimpanzees in a special way and made some great findings. Goodall didn't study chimpanzees in a zoo. She spent 38 years in the wild forests in Africa. She lived among them and found that chimpanzees used tools, lived in groups and had feelings like love and anger. This showed that humans and chimpanzees might have the same ancestors. Goodall's findings surprised many people. We started to ask ourselves: What does it mean to human'? How can we better protect animals?

Billie Jean King ( 1943-present, US)

Billie Jean King is one of the best tennis players in American history. She not only won many games, but also fought for more rights for women sports players.

During her time, women players got much less money than men. A top tennis player named Bobby Riggs looked down on women players. So King played a game against and won. She showed the power of women.

Tu Youyou (1930-present, China)

Tu is a chemist. She found a cure for malaria(疟疾).  This has saved many lives around the world. Tu started work in the 1960s and found artemisinin(青蒿素) in a plant in 1971.

27、When I spent Christmas away from home in Europe for the first time, I was only 14 and it was absolutely terrible. I am now married and live in the US. So there is little possibility for me to go home for Christmas. Now I am able to get through Christmas with some moments of joy:

First, you are advised to search your area for stores that carry items from your home country or town. Buy food, candles and some other things that mean something to you.

Hold on to the traditions from your home that you think are important even if other people think they are stupid. But keep in mind to be open for new traditions from wherever you might be, because those traditions are as important to those people around you as yours are to you. For me that includes celebrating Christmas on the 24th.

Call, write Christmas cards, buy gifts and mail them to loved ones, just as if you were there. If you try to pretend (假装) as if the holiday doesn't exist, you are just going to make it worse.

Introduce your traditions to your loved ones, especially your kids. It will only enrich their celebration of the holiday to have some unique (独一无二的) traditions in their home. Little by little it will become their tradition and it’s fun for them to try something new.

Find clubs, churches or organizations that are from your home country. Chances are that they will have some celebration with some of your traditions which you can join in.

Food is one of the most important factors in any kind of tradition. Find the recipe (食谱) of that cake your grandmother used and make it your tradition to bake that particular cake.

Call up your parents and get them to send you some of your favorite childhood ornaments (装饰品) for your tree.

Pay attention to new traditions, talk to your family about which ones you want to make your own and stick with them.

If you are far away from home, Christmas can never be the same as you experienced it before, but it is important to remember these traditions while appreciating the new ones. Keep an open mind and find a compromise between old and new traditions.
