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.
51. The author had _________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.
A. one B. two C. three D. none
52. _________ 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
53. 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
54. 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.
55. The underlined word "overcome" means "_________" in Chinese.
A. 接受 B. 忍受 C. 信服 D. 克服
第二节：请仔细阅读第56—60题的说明，从A到F的六个选项中，选出与1~5题描述相符的最佳选项，其中一项为多余选项。
_______56. It’s always good to know what you’re aiming (瞄准目标) at, so that you know if and when you can get there. Having an aim for each week, or even each day will help you check your progress and show if you need to change your plans.
_______57. Instead of having to work through lots of notes every time you go over something, try writing down what you want to remember on a piece of paper. It doesn’t seem as much to learn that way, but it makes sure you don’t miss anything important. Once you’ve learnt the main points, rewrite them on another piece of paper without looking at your notes.
_______58. If you don’t know it by now, you’ll never learn it tomorrow.” Everyone says it, but it’s probably true. Don’t stay up all night studying. You’d better go to bed at a reasonable time, so that you can wake up fresh on exam day.
______ 59.There’s nothing worse than being disorganized. If you have a plan and keep to it, you won’t end up cramming (死记硬背) into the last few hours! List what you need to learn beforehand and then make a timetable covering all the topics. You can know what to do for a week and when to do it.
______ 60. When you reach each of your targets (目标) ，give yourself a treat( 款待). It could be drink, a short break to watch a favorite TV program or a phone call to a friend---anything to enjoy.
A. Be organized (组织起来)
B. Get some sleep
C. Reward (奖励) yourself
D. Set yourself a target
E. Write down the main points
F. Remember the difficulties

Some threw eggs and rice wrapped in leaves into the river to feed the fish in order to keep them away from Qu Yuan.

Do you believe snow also has feelings like us humans? If not, please listen to my snow stories.
In 1959, my parents, sister and I lived in Wichita Falls, Texas. That winter it snowed heavily, about two or three inches thick. All of us were excited to make snowmen and fight with snow.
In 1978, my husband and I lived in Charlottesville, Virginia, a place with a lot of beautiful snow in winter. But we never had any time to enjoy it. We lived a long and difficult life then.
In 1997, I had a new view on snow. On Christmas Eve, my father called us, saying my sick mother would leave the world. My husband, I and two kids drove 300 miles to Midland, in West Texas. That snowy night was dark and lonely. We kept singing Christmas songs and expected Mother to be all right.
In 2009, my husband and I planned to go to New York for Christmas. We were going to take a taxi to the airport. Then it began to snow hard. Soon all the taxis stopped because of bad weather. Later, we got to know “our” flight had crashed when it was on the journey to New York. So we were grateful to that lucky snow.

Last Sunday we went on an autumn outing in East Park. Early in the morning, we met outside our school gate and set off by bike.
First we went to the zoo to see some animals. Then we went boating. At lunch time, we took out the food that we brought with us and had a picnic. Before the end of our activities, we took many beautiful photos.
When we returned home, we all felt very tired, but we were glad that we had a good day.
