三、阅读单选
I used to hate my mother because she worked a lot and didn’t spend much time with me. Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life.
About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there.
On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice.
This exercise told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining(抱怨).
A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict(吸毒者) and how much she hated her mother.
“I want a new mom,” she cried.
“Unluckily, you can’t have one,” the leader replied.
“You have to accept the mother that you have.”
This hit me hard. I realized that, for better or worse, my mom was my mom. I couldn’t choose another mom, but I could try to make the best of the situation.
36．The writer used to hate his mother because ________.
A．she didn’t care for him
B．she had no time to be with him
C．she was a drug addict
D．she was too strict with him

A．a week B．two days
C．three days D．only one day
38．The writer started to change his thinking ___________.
A．during the first two days of the program
B．after the exercise named “Chocolate or Toys”
C．as soon as he came to the program

A．the writer used to love his mom for years

40．What is the main idea of this passage
A．Choices can be made as we like.
B．Everyone should take part in a self-help program.
C．Chocolate can influence one’s attitude toward things.
D．We should try to accept things instead of complaining about them.
Camilla Chomp was a strange little girl. She liked to spend her time alone eating chocolate. Her parents were worried, so they took all the chocolate away.
Camilla left her house to look for some chocolate. She found a small house full of bottles. Among the bottles, a blue bottle caught Camilla’s eyes. It was full of chocolate. In the bottle there was also a card with the words “Change tears(眼泪) into chocolate.”
Camilla was very excited. She ran out of the house with the bottle to look for someone crying. First, she met a little boy crying hard and collected his tears. The tears were quickly changed into chocolate. While Camilla was collecting the tears, she comforted the boy. Finally, the boy stopped crying and they had a good time together.
Later, Camilla met a woman and an old man crying. The woman had broken some bowls. And the old man’s dog had just died. Camilla collected their tears and made them happy again.
Soon, Camilla knew that making people happy was much more important than finding chocolate. So she stopped collecting tears and began to help sad people. As a result, she had many friends and had a happy life.

61．例文：
I have made progress
I used to be a shy girl who was afraid of speaking in front of the people. As a result, I made few friends and often felt lonely. Finally, I made up my mind to be active and outgoing. At first, it was difficult for me to join in after-school activities. Luckily, with the help of my friends, I managed to express my thoughts and helped others with their problems in my spare time. Now, I’m not a shy girl any more. I have made much progress.
I used to be poor at English, especially in reading and writing. The biggest problem was that after reading a passage, I couldn’t fully understand it. This made me very sad and stressed. However, I didn’t give up. I kept on remembering new words , listening to English songs, reading English articles and writing English diaries whenever I had a chance. Little by little, I made much progress in English and also I became more and more confident.
What great progress I have made!
