I was filled with doubts and worries until my grandfather told me to stand tall.
For me, height was my trouble. I was much taller than the other girls, so I often bent(弯曲)my body at the back of the line. I had always felt unsafe as the tallest student of my class in Bala Cynwyd. And I wasn’t looking forward to entering the ninth grade.
My grandfather didn’t laugh at me. Instead, whenever I tried to bend myself in order to appear shorter, he would tell me, “Stand straight and tall, Alisa.” I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood. And whenever I was afraid of something, he always told me stories of his life.
My grandfather grew up in war-torn(受战争严重破坏的)Europe. “Stand straight, and stand tall” meant something else then. After the war, he went to America. He lived a hard life. “If they could do it, why couldn’t I Stand straight, and stand tall,” he often reminded himself. Thanks to the help of a friend, my grandfather got a job. He once told me that he was very nervous at first. He was trying to learn not only this hard new job but also a new language.
“Stand straight, and stand tall,” he would always tell himself. I am so proud of my grandfather. After listening to my grandfather’s unusual experiences, I have changed the way I look at my own life.
“Stand straight, and stand tall” has become not only a piece of advice to improve my posture(身姿), it also tells me to be proud of who I am.
And I do.

五、任务型阅读
In England, “Bank Holidays” are Easter Monday, May Day, the Spring Bank Holiday (the last Monday in May), the Summer Bank Holiday (the last Monday in August), Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. During the Bank Holiday, all the banks are closed.
The August Bank Holiday is perhaps the most popular one of the year, partly because it comes at a time when children are not at school. Very many people try to make this a long weekend, and go away to the seaside of the country. The result is that anyone who can manage to take a holiday at another day would be well advised to do so, for the roads get crowded with traffic.
In recent years, there has been much talk of creating another Bank Holiday, mid-way between August and Christmas, but nothing has yet been done. October would be a good month because the weather is often pleasant then. Many people would welcome an extra (额外的) bank Holiday or two because England has fewer than most European countries.
