【题干】 In my living room, there is a plaque that advises me to "Bloom where you are planted." It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who "bloomed" in her remote area.
Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.
From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy's classroom, I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for "dinner" (lunch). In case you don't know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.
Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Phd.. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom(传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.
1. "Early Childhood Development" in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.
A. a program directed by Dorothy
B. a course given by the author
C. an activity held by the students
D. an organization sponsored by Union College
2. In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing ________.
A. the long track
B. the poor houses
C. the same train
D. the winding road
3. Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by ________.
A. a warm welcome
B. the sight of poke greens
C. Dorothy's latest projects
D. a big dinner made for her
4. What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph
A. She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.
B. She got a pen as a gift from the author.
C. She passed the required assessment.
D. She received her Ph.D. degree.
5. What does the author mainly intend to tell us
A. Whatever you do, you must do it carefully.
B. Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment.
C. However poor you are, you have the right to education.
D. Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.D
【解析】1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的when I was teaching Early Childhood Development可知Early Childhood Development指的是作者教授的一门课程。
2.细节理解题。通过在第二段中读到的“作者感到了压抑与沉闷(I found it depressing)”,贫困水平令人震惊,破旧的房屋给了作者一种无比绝望的感觉(The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.)得知“作者感到失望是因为看见了破旧的房屋”。
3.细节理解题。第三段中提到“从到达那所小学校的第一刻起,我所有的忧郁都消失了(From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom disappeared),我受到了热情的欢迎并得到了女王般的待遇(I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen)”,由此可知选A项。
4.细节理解题。由She came to the assessment and passed in all areas.可知选C项,她通过了要求的评定条件。
5.主旨大意题。在这篇文章中,作者主要想告诉我们的是“无论你在哪儿,你都可以取得成就”。根据第一句In my living room, there is a plaque that advises me to "Bloom where you are planted."“哪里扎根,哪里开花”,即无论你人在哪儿,只要努力就会取得成绩。

【范文】
Hi Worried,
I'm sorry to know that you're having such a bad time at the moment. The truth is that everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong, so you don't have to worry so much. The important thing is to learn to control your temper so that you may not do or say anything you'll regret. Here are three useful tips:
First, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Second, go outdoors and play team games with your friends as physical exercise is an effective way to get rid of anger. And third, remain optimistic about your future. Such a positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits.
I hope you'll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.
Yours,
Jamie
