Charlie was the cactus I dug up from our yard in Texas right before we moved. I wanted something to _me of the home I had to leave. I opened the front door with Charlie in my arm. A stream of cold air blew on my face as I stepped out of my house. The weather had been _in the past few days, and whats worse, overnight the land had been changed into a white world of snow. “How do people live in such an unkind environment?” I wondered, recalling the warm Texas sun. Clearly, planting Charlie outside wasnt going to happen anytime soon. As I stood at the front door, two kids on the sidewalk waved to me. The boy shouted, “Are you our new neighbor?” “Of course she is,” the girl said, “Im Kristin, and this is my brother Kyle. Do you want to go _with us?” Kristin asked. She pointed to the frozen pond across the street from my house. “We have a few extra pairs of skates at our house.” Within the hour I was sitting with Kristin and Kyle on the bench next to the pond. I _ the ice skates. I knew how to roller-skate, but these skates looked very different. Kristin laced(系鞋带) my skates for me. When I breathed, icy air filled my lungs. I stood there, shaking with cold. Kyle wrapped his _around my neck, pulling it up over my mouth and nose. “Youll get used to the cold,” he said, smiling. Kyle helped me stand up. “Not too bad,” I thought. But when I tried to take a step, my feet flew out. I landed on the ice heavily. Kyle and Kristin pulled me up and _me on each side as I slipped(滑) and stumbled. After a while I was able to balance on my own. I knew how to push off and glide too. By the end of the day, I was able to make small, uncertain turns on the ice. I almost _ about Texas as I concentrated on my new friends instead. Light shone through the open curtains of the front window of my house across the street, and I could see Charlie on the table inside. “We both will be fairly _here,” I thought with a wide smile from beneath the scarf.27 .

For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潜力）.Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.No doubt youre wondering how fast you should grow. It depends(看情况而定）.Theres no perfect or right answer.Generally speaking,kids grow about 2 inches(6 centimetres）a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty(when your body starts changing and becoming more grown-up).Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years.Two centimetres here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height youre at now,how youve been growing up to this point,and what other changes your body may be going through.Dont be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt(高峰).during puberty(青春期).The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11for boys. But it can be earlier or later-between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.Youll usually begin to notice that during puberty youre growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.Do you want to know your height?Do you want to know you height?How tall will you be ?Genes35 . your height mostly.Usually youll be36 . the height of your father and mother.Diet,37 . and exercise also effect your growth.How fast should you grow?Its38 . to answer this question.Children grow about two inches a year before they begin to39 . upDuring your pubertyYou grow40 . during puberty.Your puberty may start41 . 7 or 9.It depends.Your body begin to42 . some differences from before during puberty.What will your doctor help you?Help you43 . out how tall you will be.Tell you44 . your growth has been going over the years.Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses (吻). So, I really doubt (怀疑) whether (是否) there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money to pay the schooling for me. They dont act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV, and sending flowers to each other on Valentines Day is even impossible.One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I asked her if there was love between them. She stopped her work and looked up with surprise. Then she bowed (弯下) her head and continued sewing the quilt. I was very worried because I thought I hurt her. But after a few minutes she said, “Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time it disappears in the quilt. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly (几乎不) be seen anywhere or anytime, but its really there, and makes the quilt long-lasting.” I listened carefully but I couldnt understand her until the next spring.My mother suddenly got sick seriously and had to stay in the hospital for a one-month treatment. Every morning and dusk (黄昏) after she returned from the hospital, my father helped my mother walk slowly on the country road. There were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees, and the sun gently shone them through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world. Reading their eyes, I knew they loved each other deeply. From this experience, I realized that love was just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.45 .

The writer did not understand their parents love until_.Athe next summer Bhis mother was deadChis mother was seriously illDhe himself grew upIn ancient times, a king had a boulder (巨石）placed on a roadway. He then hid himself and watched to see if anyone would move the boulder out of the way. Some of the kings wealthiest business men and courtiers (朝臣）came by and simply walked around it.Many people even loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them did anything about getting the stone out of the way. They just complained and went away. A peasant (农民）then came along carrying a large bag of vegetables. Upon getting closer to the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to push the stone out of the road. After trying and pushing for a long time, he finally succeeded.After the peasant went back to pick up his vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. In the purse there were many gold coins and a note from the king explaining that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. If you were on the way, what would you do? Complain it or move it away? Every difficulty we come across in life gives us an opportunity to improve our situations, and while the lazy people complain, the others are creating opportunities through their kind hearts, generosity (慷慨大方)and willingness to get things done.50 . Why did the king put such a boulder on a roadway?AIn order to make the roadway special.BIn order to stop someone who are lazy from walking to his country.CTo see if anyone would move the boulder out of the way.51 .

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AMany people didnt find the stone on the way.BThe peasant got a lot of money after moving away the stone.CThe king wasnt glad to see the peasant removed the boulder from the roadway.54 . We can infer (推断）from the passage that _.Aall things are difficult before they are easyBit is never too late to mendCopportunities are for those who are willing to do something with kindness and generosity四、根据首字母、中文提示填空(A) 根据句意及所给汉语提示，写出单词的正确形式。55 .

But are everybodys dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part.What are the hopes of teenagers? We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after you finish your education? It seems that some students would like to start work as soon as they can, so that they can help offer their parents better lives. Other students hope to go on studying after they finish school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers want to do jobs they like. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.What are the dreams of teenagers? Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic(现实的) than others. For example, many students would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And many students dream of having a trip to every corner of the world one day.According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dreamed of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some students would like to go on exciting trips. One student would love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. A
