It was not until I was 9 years old that I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday: "Kernel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him." AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to took after him.

We couldn't afford all the necessary medicine for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage. I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside even though he was too weak to feed himself.

I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.

I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn't want to call attention to AIDS. I do.

1.What does Kernel tell us about her father?

A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.

B. He worked hard to pay for his medication.

C. He told no one about his disease.

D. He was carefully attended by the nurses on his deathbed

2.What can we learn from the underlined sentence?

A. Kernel found what the teacher said hard to understand.

B. Kernel had special difficulty in hearing.

C. Kernel was too tired to hear her teacher's words.

D. Kernel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.

3.Why did Kernel keep her father's disease a secret?

A. She wanted to obey her mother.

B. She was afraid of being looked down upon.

C. She found no one willing to listen to her.

D. She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.

4.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To tell people about the sufferings of her father

B. To prove how little people knew about AIDS.

C. To draw people’s attention to AIDS.

D. To recall a hard time of her childhood.

One year ago, I had a special English lesson hold at the railway station. It was quite different from the regular English classes we were familiar to, for we had no textbooks, no blackboard and no fixed seats.

Gathered at the entrance of the station, we were told to collect as much English words and sentence as possible there. Curious and excited, we walked around the station and looked everywhere, search for any information in English. Whenever an English word comes into sight, the class would burst into the cheers as if we had discovered a new world. With the Chinese translation and vividly pictures, we could figure out its meaning with ease.

Now, this unforgettable lesson still encourages me to be an active learner where I go.
