八、阅读理解
In my freshman year, I asked myself, “Why am I in school ” I thought I was forced to be there, but I decided just to get along with it until I could find it meaningful.
One day it finally hit me. We were studying Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in our writing class. Each of us was asked to play a part, and I jokingly volunteered to play the nurse. They all laughed, thinking that I, a boy, couldn’t play it, but I decided I was going to be the best nurse ever to appear in the writing class. On the day of the performance, I made it a success, and then I knew what school meant to me. School was then a place where I could explore unknown areas in my mind. Perhaps I hadn’t realized that before because I had never been brave enough to discover it.
To my new-found hunger for learning, I decided that I wouldn’t be shy any more. I began raising my hand higher in class discussions. In oral communication class, I chose unpopular speech topics and made them interesting. In British literature class, I chose to write a song for a creative project. Through these activities, I made classes interesting not only for me, but also for my classmates and teachers.
In short, I have discovered that learning is not something teenagers are forced to experience. Instead, learning is a way teenagers grow. What I want to tell my classmates is that I am a brave and creative actor, musician and writer, whose name each of my teachers knows by the end of their first class, and will be reinforced (增强) each day through my brave behavior.
1. What’s the matter with the writer in the beginning
A. He did badly in his studies. B. He couldn’t get along well with others.
C. He wondered why he went to school. D. His parents forced him to go to school.
2. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to the idea that ________.
A. I played the nurse B. learning in school is disappointing
C. we studied in the writing class D. learning in school is meaningful
3. What helped the writer change his thought about school
A. The performance. B. The teachers. C. The class discussions. D. The speech topics.
4. In the end, the writer became ________ in learning.
A. serious B. active C. unwilling D. impatient
5. What can we learn from the writer
A. We should explore learning bravely.
B. We need to play a part in the writing class.
C. We should make teachers know our names.
D. We can learn to be actors, musicians and writers.
