Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched mouth open is surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, Very dirty floors.Yes, Im glad theyve finally decided to clean them, the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, But arent you working late?Mum just pushed harder, each swipe(拖一下)of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, Thank you.Outside, Mum told me, Dagmar is fine. No fever. You saw her, Mum?Of course I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. Its a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good.

Which of the following words best describes Mum?A. strangeB. warm-hearted C. cleverD. hard-workingBWhen I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write and illustrate my own books. Half the students sneered. The rest nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Dont be silly, only geniuses can become writers,” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this semester.” I was so humiliated(羞辱) that I burst into tears.That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the Capris Weekly newspaper. To my astonishment, they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed it to my teacher and fellow students. They laughed. “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I tasted success. Id sold the first thing Id ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was fine with me.During the next two years I sold dozens of poems, letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I graduated from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks filled with my published work. I never mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their dreams.I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. While the children slept, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. It took nine months, just like a baby. People ask which college I attended or what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. Im not a genius. Im not gifted and I dont write right. To all those who dream of writing, Im shouting at you: “Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Dont listen to them.” I dont write right but Ive beaten the odds. Writing is easy, its fun and anyone can do it. 5.Why did many students laugh after hearing what the writer said?A. Because they didnt like him B. Because they wished he could be successful as a writerC. Because their teacher laughed, too D. Because they felt it impossible for him to succeed6.When the writer graduated from high school, _.A. he had become a famous writer B. he had made progress in his studies.C. his classmates and teachers changed their attitudes towards himD. he decided he wouldnt become a writer7.What can we infer from the passage?A.

A famous writerB. I Hate My Classmates and TeachersC. I Never Write RightD. A Genius Can Be a WriterCFebruary 14th is Valentines Day! In China, it is only a day for young boyfriends and girlfriends. But my teacher and friends in America told me that Valentines Day is a public day.This was my first Valentines Day in America. I didnt understand the customs(风俗) clearly. Maybe I didnt need to send any gifts. I watched others to see what they did, so next time I can understand.On that day, when we began the reading class, Mr. Peters gave every student some chocolates and said, “Happy Valentines Day!” I was very happy the teacher gave his students gifts and blessings. I never saw that in China. Maybe American teachers are very different. I didnt buy a gift for the teacher, so I owed(欠) a gift to the teacher. Anyway, I want to say, ”Thank you, Mr. Peters, and Im sorry.”When we had a break, one of my classmates gave me a Pokemon card. It was very funny and I felt thankful, but I thought I owed a gift again.When we were coming to our grammar class, suddenly I heard someone calling me. ”Shelly!” I stopped. Another classmate who had only been in our class one day gave me some chocolates. She said, “These are for you and your friends. Have a good day!” I was looking at her leaving and thinking that we were in the same class only one day, but now we are friends. Thats very great, but I owed a gift again.When I came home, my Chinese friend sent some roses and chocolates. I was surprised and happy because I had never received roses in my past life, but I hoped it was the last gift. I didnt want to owe more gifts.9.Before the writer left China, she thought Valentines Day _.A. was a day for the youngB. was different in AmericaC. was a festival for all the peopleD. was a holiday for the students10.
