18．(5分)     A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shining car. "Is this your car, Paul?" he asked.
     Paul answered, "Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was surprised. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…" He hesitated.
     Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
     "I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that." Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
     "Oh yes, I'd love that."
     After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, "Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
     Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.
     He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
     "There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it …then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I've been trying to tell you about."
     Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

19．(5分)     "Are you listening, Simon?" Simon's teacher asked.
     Simon smiled and shook his head. He hardly listened or tried hard in class. "I was talking to Susan," he said lazily. "One of these days, if you listen, you'll learn something." Mrs. Jacobs said. She tried to make him listen to her every day, but he never stopped talking.
     That evening, Simon started to feel a little bit sick. By his bedtime snack, his throat really hurt. He had ice cream and hot chocolate to make his throat feel better.

20．(5分)     As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
     Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy(敌人) " would not discover me. 
     Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.
     Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
     One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
(1)The author had____kind(s) of fears when she was a child.
          A.one           B.two           C.three           D.none
(2)____would scare the author at night.
          A.Streetlight and car lights           B.Wild animals and enemies
          C.Moving curtains and wind           D.Strange sights and sounds
(3)When she went to some other places, she would____.
          A.walk away without others
          B.take a bus by herself
          C.follow others closely
          D.make sure not to take a wrong bus
(4)Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?
          A.She was usually popular among people.
          B.She was always the leader of the others.
          C.She always' got poor grades.
          D.She was not at all liked by others.
(5)The underlined word "overcome" means "____" in Chinese.
          A.接受           B.忍受           C.信服           D.克服
21．(5分)     Parents often believe that they have a good relationship (关系) with their teenagers. But during the summer vacation in 2011, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut," Joanna noted.
     Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to sit with me on the sofa and talk," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is finding out which time is which."
     Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's in their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list," said Michael Riera, writer of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during the ten years," Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
     Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental (心灵的) break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children, is a better way to know them.
(1)"The door to his room is always shut" shows that the son ____.
          A.is busy with his homework
          B.doesn't want to talk to his parents
          C.needs some sleep
          D.is too tired
(2)What troubles Tina and Mark most is that their daughter ____.
          A.talks little in class
          B.asks for too much money
          C.only talks to her best friend
          D.talks with them only when she wants something
(3)The writer thinks that parents should ____.
          A.make their children study harder
          B.understand their children
          C.ask their children to open the doors
          D.give more money to their children
(4)"The wall of silence" in the last paragraph means "____".
          A.children do not talk much with their parents
          B.parents only ask their children to study hard
          C.parents always sit silently with their children
          D.children need free time to get themselves relaxed
(5)According to the passage, what advice does the writer give to parents?
          A.Be a manager with your children.
          B.Never talk too much to your children.
          C.Be a friend with your children.
          D.Give your children whatever they want.

22．(5分)     A life coach is somebody who helps you reach all kinds of personal and professional goals (目标). Each of us has the ability to be our own life coach. Here are some tips for you:
     ♦ Pay attention to your relationships with others
     Ask yourself the following questions: How do you deal with disagreements? When was the last time you showed your family members that you care for them? Your relationships with friends, family members and teachers show a lot about the kind of person you are.
     ♦ Face the fears about the future
     Now, imagine that one of your good friends told you that he or she was not strong enough to go back to school. 3 We often give better advice than we are willing to take ourselves. Remember that even the most successful people were probably told that what they wanted to do was impossible, but they followed their dreams and succeeded.
     ♦ Develop your talents
     If you want to reach your goals, you will have to spend more time developing the talents you already have, and uncovering any hidden talents that you haven't discovered yet. So you can take classes in subjects that you are interested in, even if you have no experience.
     ♦ Be thankful
     Take some time to be thankful for the things you do have. Remember positive memories. 4 Think of the best day(s) you have had in the past month or year. Remember special parties, vacations and holidays. Appreciate the wonderful people you have in your life.
