I’m a real book lover. Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories about people, journals and news—I read them all and I’ve learnt a lot, too. For example, many things in life happen for the best even if we don’t like or understand them.

Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a life-long habit.

No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. It’s just for fun.” While reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to another world. It’s like exploring through someone’s eyes, which is just as exciting as watching a movie.

Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination disappear, for we don’t exercise it often. Reading can even be good for one’s health, I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!

1.. Among the gifts my parents have given me, which is the most valuable one?

A. A love for reading. B. Picture books.

C. Good health. D. A lovable pastime.

2.. In the fourth paragraph, the author thinks reading can ____.

A. make his parents happy

B. finish his school work

C. improve writing and broaden knowledge

D. help him understand some movies

3.. If we don’t use our imagination often, ____.

A. it is bad for our healthB. we will soon learn how to write

C. it will help us to have a good restD. it will soon disappear

4.. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Why do I have few friends?B. What are my life habits?

C. Why do I love reading?D. Why do things happen for the best?

 

1.A

2.C

3.D

4.C

We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.

“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “ See, my dear,” father said gently. “ There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”

Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.

When I turned to father for help, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.

At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered（噴濺出） “ The cook must have gone mad！” Quickly I told her what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!

In the years that followed, I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

1. The author’s father took her to the top of a church tower to ____________.

A. enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole town

B. find out how many ways lead to the square

C. inspire her to find out another way to solve her problem

D. help her forget some unpleasant things earlier that day

2.What did the author want her mother to do earlier that day?

A. Do something delicious for lunch.

B. Taste her awful lunch.

C. Dismiss the mad cook.　　　　　　　　

D. Speak to the school about lunch.

3.The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph suggests that_____________.

A. the cook agreed to serve the soup to the writer’s mother.

B. the author’s mother was angry with the cook.

C. her father persuaded her mother successfully.

D. the method the author thought of was effective.

4.What did the author’s mother think of her lunch soup after she tasted it?

A. It was delicious.

B. It wasn’t so bad as the author said.

C. It is terrible.

D. It was as good as her cook did.

5. By sharing her own experiences, the author tries to tell us ____________.

A. when one road is blocked, try another

B. how bad the lunch of her school is

C. how wise her father is

D. about the church tower near her home
