We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill.

My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what our mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend our afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. It was almost as dreadful as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with our friends at the swimming pool?First we had to read about ancient Egyptians and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Age who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldnt see what was so great about art.On our last visit to the museum, things changed when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the womans expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldnt stop looking at the painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.8. The purpose of the mothers plan for her children was to _.A. take them to visit the museumB. ask them to read about artistsC. show them different painting stylesD. introduce them to the world of art9.

At the moment I know that the doctors are busy searching for a match，I simply live every day in the hope that there will be a donor right for meIf I have an opportunity for life，I wont waste it When I was a first year at university，I made the mistake of walking away from being a stem cell donorPlease dont make the same mistake that I didThere are so many people out there，including myself，that need your help； and by undergoing a simple，painfree procedure，you could have the chance to proudly say that you saved someones life12Why did the author refuse to learn more about bone marrow donation before？ABecause she could get nothing from itBBecause she was in poor healthCBecause she had known nothing about itDBecause she thought that donating would be painful13What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 1？AThe author was concerned about othersBThe author was confident about the bone marrow donationCThe author needs the bone marrow donation nowDThe author donates her bone marrow to save others14The author needs the bone marrow because she got .Aheadache Bcancer Cflu Dhigh blood pressure15The author told us her story to .Ashow us the experience of her college lifeBexplain the cause of her cancerCrecall her painful pastDencourage people to be a bone marrow donor第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Study for a TestWith exams approaching, how can you study for a test?
