She couldn't leave me at home on my own, so I had to go to the market with her. As I grew older, I began to help my mom and I really enjoyed it. Things changed when I was 14. My grandma gave me a book for Christmas, which was all about making candles. I loved it so much that I spent all my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made hundreds of them. One day, my mother was ill so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to take some candles with me and see if I could sell them. To my surprise, they were sold out in 20 minutes! The next week, my mom gave me some money to buy some wax to make more candles. They were sold out really quickly, too. Nine months later, we decided to stop selling flowers. My mom and I couldn't make enough candles during the week, so some of my school friends started to help us. I paid them one pound for every candle, and we used to sell them for three or four times more expensive than that. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market. When I was 22, my uncle lent me some money and I opened my first shop on Portobello Road. Since then, I've never looked back, even in difficult times. At the first store, we only sold candles, but now we sell everything from designer furniture to paintings. 1. The writer felt when helping her mother sell flowers. A. enjoyable B. surprised C. difficult D. bored 2. We can learn from the passage that . A. the writer helped her mother since she was five B. the writer made candles in order to sell at first C. people liked the candles the writer made very much D. the writer paid four pounds for every candle made by her classmates 3.Who taught the writer to help make candles? A. Her mother. B. Herself. C. Her grandma. D. Her school friends. 4.What do we know about the writer's first store? A. It was opened when she was 14. B. It was opened with her mother's help. C. It only sold candles and flowers at fir st. D. Running it was not an easy task. 5.What's the passage mainly about? A. How the writer succeeded in her busin ess. B. How the writer got her family's support. C. How to develop our interests. D. How to set up real goals. (B) I always believe that one's destiny(命运) is in one's own hands. But what happened recently proved me wrong. Simba, our German Shepherd Dog(牧羊犬) had died about forty days ago and we had still not stopped missing him. He was our shadow all along-during our long walks in Sanjay Van, at every corner of our home, and our family picnics. On that day we made up our minds not to raise another dog for a while. My husband and I have been going for our morning walks to Sanjay Van for years. It was one such morning when destiny decided to prove my beliefs wrong. For the very first time, we decided to explore a new track and see where it took us. Well, the track very quickly came to a d ead end and one small gate brought us out on to the main road. As we walked back, we came across this little Pomeranian dog(博美犬) crossing the road and was alm ost about to come under the wheels of a passing car. We quickly moved to rescue him and found that he was probably searching for his master, looking so tired and ill. He might not have eaten for days. He probably lost his way. We got him treated for all kinds of illnesses and at the same time distributed(分发) posters with his picture and description. But not a single person came to find him. His sweet nature and cuteness made us change our minds. We decided not to leave him in a shelter. He has been with us for the last two months now and has been surely towards taking Simba's place in our hearts. This incident has made me think differently about the role of destiny in our lives. I now believe that destiny decides not only the family that we are born into but also many other people and creatures. 6.Before meeting the little Pomeranian dog, the writer . A. thinks her belief in life is wrong B. doesn't think she can change her destiny C. believes her destiny is not good D. is sure that she can create her own life 7.After the German Shepherd Dog died, A. the writer decided not to keep dogs forever B. the writer's family went out more for picnics C. the writer's family missed it very much D. the writer tried her best to forget it 8..Why did the writer's family come to a dead end during a morning walk to Sanjay Van? A. Because they hadn't been to Sanjay Van before. B. Because they decided to walk on a new track. C. Because they were too sad at the death of the German Shepherd Dog. D. Because they wanted to help the little Pomeran ian dog. 9.When the writer saw the little Pomeranian dog, . A. it was hurt by a passing car B. it was very tired and sick C. she was sure that it was abandoned D. she gave it something to eat immediately 10.It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that .

I never understood Spanish until seventh grade when my middle school got a new Spanish teacher, Mr. McKenna. However, everybody called him "Jefe". Jefe means "Boss" in Spanish and that relates to his funny personality. Jefe made Spanish fun and easy, which made his lessons most popular among the students. Jefe would always save time for kids who needed extra help, even if it cut into his personal life. As a talented student from his high school, he not only could help out in Spanish, but also in any other subject too, which is not a requirement as a teacher. Jefe was young and knew how to talk to teens. I could tell him anything and he would help me out. Jefe never looked down on us. He always treated us like we were one of his friends. Jefe would play basketball with students after school or during lunch and rest. He made everyone feel comfortable and like a friend. Jefe was always a great role model and many students looked up to him. He would teach us life skills and how to prepare for high school and college. He always told us to find the best in people, and would stick up for the failures. Before I graduated from eighth grade, he wrote everyone a letter about all the advantages they have and how they could put them to use. I haven't kept in touch with Jefe because he doesn't work at my middle school anymore, but I still think of him from time to time. I will always remember Jefe. He was a good friend and an excellent teacher. 11.Mr. McKenna is called Jefe because . A. he comes from Spain B. he looks like a Spanish C. the name reflects his personality D. it means "boss" in Spanish 12.What subject did Mr. McKenna teach? A. Spanish B. All the subjects. C. Writing. D. P.E. 13.How did Mr. McKenna help his students? A. He cared about their personal lives. B. He helped them with any subject. C. He often played with them. D. He often wrote letters to them. 14.We can learn from the third paragraph that the students . A. got good grades with the help of Mr. McKenna B. learned how to make friends with other people C. wanted to become the person like Mr. McKenna D. learned much from Mr. McKenna 15.Why does Mike lose touch with Mr. McKenna? A. Because Mike went to study in another middle school .B. Because Mike forgot Mr. McKenna since he left. C. Because Mr. McKenna taught another grade. D. Because Mr. McKenna left Mike's middle school. (D) As a father of a student, I have expe rienced personally what a great teacher is. My son who was in the 4th grade las t year had a teacher called Miss Jane that he will surely look back on when he is an adult as being the best teacher he has ever had. My son has attention deficit disorder(注意力不集中) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn. She often changes her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result, he earned straight As for three out of the four grading periods. She referred to her class as a family and they even had their own class song which she would have them sing every so often to encourage them and develop a team spirit. When she would see that they were no longer "tuned into" what she was teaching, she would have them close their textbooks and stand up all around the room and throw around a small football just to help them to clear their minds and then refocus on the lesson. She was quick to return any phone calls or emails from us and worked quickly to address any concerns we had. When we went to 5th grade this year, we had to stop by her classroom. When she saw my son come through the door, her face lit up and she hugged him. She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows. I can only hope that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years. 16.What do we know about the writer's son? A. He never met a good teacher. B. It is not easy for him to concentrate in class. C. He always got bad scores. D. He can't sing the class songs well. 17.Which of the following is NOT true about Miss Jane? A.
