The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff (东西) they call “books”in front of me.
I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed ” I asked myself. I didn’t answer. In fact I dared not.
The clock struck twelve. “Oh dear” I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the poorest creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He didn’t have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite sad now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow.

At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Lous Braile. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts, spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problem, why should I ever give up
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came hack to me the next day-with an “A” on it . At the bottom of the paper were these words, “See what you can do when you keep trying ”

As you grow rapidly through your teenage years,you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don't panic!You will deal successfully with them!You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility,you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine!Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.
Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.
It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life's journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.
You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!

第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you want to be at the top of your class Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student!
16 I cannot stress (强调) enough how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you. Take part in class discussions if you have something worthwhile to add. Pay attention during class, especially during lectures.
Taking notes is important. You don’t need to write down every word your teacher says but write down what he/ she writes on the board, or any special fact you think you might need for a test. 17 This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.
Don’t skip school (逃学) 18 It is true that you could make up the work. However, you will have more work because you have missed lectures and in-class activities. Also, try not to be late for class. It’s most likely that your teachers won’t appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.
19 If you have an “I don’t care about school or this class” attitude, then teachers will be less willing to help you with problems. The same goes for a lazy attitude. Have a respectful attitude to the teacher and other students. Try not to laugh when other students make a mistake.
Always ask questions. 20 If you don’t understand, ask someone. Read your textbook and notes, and then if that fails, seek help. Ask a teacher, friend, classmate, parent, ect. Get a tutor if you need one.
A. Hold on to it.
B. Write in your own words.
C. Staying organized will be helpful.
D. You will be missing something out.
E. Keep a good attitude towards things.
F. There is no shame in asking for help.
G. Pay attention to everything the teacher says.

Dear Amy,
Thank you for writing me this letter. I'm sorry to hear that you are upset about your weight and your friends laugh at you. Maybe I can give you some advice.
I recommend that you should try to do some healthy exercises, such as playing ball games and swimming. It is a good way to keep fit and healthy. If you keep on doing these, I am sure you will become slimmer and healthier. Besides, you should not mind your own appearance a lot. Everyone has different appearances and you should tell your friends about this. I am sure they will be friendly to you again. I also suggest that you should keep a positive attitude in your daily life, which will make you happier even when you are in trouble.
Hope my advice works and things will get better soon. Write to me again if you have further problems.
