gotten a dirt bike (泥土路摩托车) and a lot of other kids in my neighborhood knew how to ride. i also wanted to, but i didnt even know the difference between the clutch (离合器) and the front brake. all the guys told me i couldnt do it because i was a girl. i was determined to prove them wrong, so brett let me try his bike. i wasnt on for one minute before i fell off. he came over to see if i was okay, but then started laughing. i felt like running somewhere i wouldnt be laughed at. that night i told my dad the whole story about how i wanted to be as good as the guys and how i had embarrassed myself. he asked how much i really wanted to learn, then i told him i had wanted to ride for a year and it was everything i dreamed about. a few days later my dad told me hed found a nice bike for a reasonable price. he brought it home and that was when i became the laughing stock of the neighborhood. all the guys thought it was a joke that i actually wanted to learn how to ride and i became known as a wannabe (模仿偶像者).we took it one step at a time. my dad spent four long weeks teaching me everything i needed to know about the bike and the basics of riding. no one truly believed i could learn to ride except my dad. day after day and night after night he worked with me, and i began to progress. i was so thankful. it meant so much that he would take time from his busy schedule to help me fulfill this dream. each ride on my dirt bike, i got a little better, and finally i was ready for my first time on the trails. at first i couldnt keep up and the boys had to wait for me. my bike constantly stalled and got stuck in the muddy creeks. things eventually got easier, as if i could ride with my eyes closed. every time i rode on the trails i got a little better and the guys didnt have to wait for me. i was still made fun of, not because i was an amateur or not good, but instead because they felt threatened that a girl could do what they did.i cannot even remember how many nights i spent crying when i had lost my confidence because of those boys. every time i needed a shoulder to cry on, my dad was there. he never let me give up and always had faith in me, even if i couldnt do something right. 47. why does the author write the passage?a. to show the difficulty in riding a dirt bike.b. to prove that girls can do whatever boys can.c. to thank her father for his

marks)directions: read the following passage. fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. write no more than three words for each answer.like many other teenagers, you may feel stressed at school. of course, school stress is not only caused by classes, homework, papers to write, and problems to solve. it is also caused by the heavy work of keeping up with friends, keeping up with life, keeping the parents happy, and the hard task of simply being young and trying to find out what you are going to do in the future. so it may be the best time in your life, but it is also one of the worst. luckily, there are some things you can do in order to deal with your stress at school. for example, you can prioritize (确定的优先顺序) your tasks. firstly, you need to make a list of everything you need to do, and then find out what needs to be done first, what needs to be done second, then third and so on. once you put everything in order in this way, it is time to get things done. while you are doing your work, dont think about your other tasks. just pay attention to what you are doing at the time until the work is completed. then, cross it off your list and move on to the next task. while you are trying to complete your work, remember to take a break so often. stretch (伸展) your shoulders and neck every 15 minutes or so. ab
