A
“Don’t worry! Lots of kids have moved here and made new friends,” my new teacher told me. “Oh, and don’t be concerned about your braces (矫正器). Almost everyone has them here.”
Even my new teacher thought I was a nerd (弱者), and he hadn’t even known me for five minutes. If my teacher thought that, I couldn’t imagine what the rest of class were going to think.
I wondered what kind of speech he gave them about me, “The new girl.” He probably made it sound like I was a nerd whose dad just died and everyone should be nice to me.
I wish I was back with my friends at my old school, where everyone knew me.
The bell rang, and the class poured in. Maybe if I didn’t move, they wouldn’t see me. Oh, well, it was a nice try. Everyone looked at me as if I were some kind of alien (外星人).
At that moment, a beautiful girl walked in and said with a sweet smile, “Hi, my name is Alicia.”
“Um, I’m Annie,” I said.
She made a face and said, “Hi, Annie. You can sit with us at lunch today if you want.”
“Maybe this new school wouldn’t be so bad after all,” I thought.

My daughter Jersey is a single parent. She works hard to provide for herself and her three young sons. She manages to plan for everything carefully.
When her eldest son, David, wanted a bicycle so that he could do a part-time job, the family saved up and soon he was the proud owner of a good second-hand bicycle. One afternoon my daughter asked David to go to the local shop to buy something. He rode his bicycle, but foolishly left it outside the shop without putting on the lock. When David came out of the shop, it was gone. He walked home in tears and then, together with his exasperated mother, went to the local police station.
Imagine their joy when they arrived at the station: David’s bike was there. The driver told my daughter how he’d seen a group of kids go for the bike once my grandson had gone inside the shop. The driver, in his late teens, had called out to them to leave the bike alone. Despite this, one of the kids in the group had jumped on the bicycle and ridden it away while the others followed.

This summer my family decided to take our vacation where the sun shines 24 hours a day! We went to Iceland. Although it sounds far away, it was actually only about 5 hours by plane from New York City.
Day 1
Today we walked around the capital city of Iceland. Reykjavik is a European city filled with lots of history, shopping, and good restaurants. One famous place in Reykjavik is the big church in the city center. The famous film Die Another Day was shot here in 2002.
Day 2
We took the bus to go through the beautiful National Park, and then we went to Golden Waterfall in the highlands and the geysers (间歇泉).
There were several active geysers that we were able to stand right near. The geysers threw up hot water every ten minutes and it was a sight to see. Hot water from the geysers is one of Iceland’s greatest treasures. Not only is it used to heat houses and produce electricity (电) but it is also wonderful to just sit in it.
We also went to see several waterfalls and were even able to walk behind one of the waterfalls. It is unusual to be able to touch a waterfall in nature. It was a very exciting day.
Day 3
Tired and exhausted from all the excitement of this wonderful country, we took a taxi to the airport. Goodbye, Iceland. I am really looking forward to our return.
8. What do we know about the capital city of Iceland?
A. It’s a new European city. B. It’s a good place to visit.
C. It’s a center of film-making. D. It’s near New York State.

I turned away from the piano. After an hour of practicing, I still couldn’t play Mozart’s piece well. It was frustrating to have spent such a long time on a piano song and still be unable to play the piece well. To me, the piece had at first seemed very easy, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t play it correctly.
I decided to take a break, and come back to the piece later. For the most part, after a little bit of work, I could usually learn the song quickly. However, it was always that song, which might have appeared simple but was difficult. These types of songs always made me upset.
After having dinner, I decided to come back to the piano. I chose to play the piece slowly and carefully, paying attention to the correct notes instead of trying to play the piece quickly. Using this new method of practicing, I focused on how I could improve myself little by little.
I didn’t even get the rhythm (节奏) right until a week later. But I learned an important lesson — sometimes, baby steps are really important. I’m the person who likes to do things quickly. But in the case of the piano, I couldn’t move forward and improve until I slowed down, and took one step at a time.
12. The writer at first thought that playing Mozart’s piece .
A. would be rather difficult B. might waste a lot of time
C. needed much practice D. was really a piece of cake
13. What do we know about the writer from the third paragraph?
A. She had difficulty in reading the notes.
B. She changed her attitude towards playing the piano.
C. She liked to play a piece of music slowly.
D. She paid attention to improving herself in the past.
14. The writer finally improved herself by .
A. reading the notes carefully
B. choosing to play a simple piece
C. practicing the piano in a slow way
D. asking her teacher for help
15. What did the writer learn at last?
A. Teachers are important to pianists.
B. Calm down or you can’t enjoy Mozart’s piece.
C. Playing the piano needs a lot of practice.
D. Go step by step and you will succeed.

One day, my parents went for a party and my brother and I were alone in our apartment. We were watching television. Suddenly the doorbell rang. 16
He opened the door and outside stood a tall man. He said that he was a salesman and asked politely if our mother or father was at home. 17 He asked if we would like to buy some storybooks and I quickly refused.
I was about to close the door when he forced his way into our house. He took out a knife and forced me to tie up my brother’s hands with some rope (绳子) which he took out from his pocket. I tied up his hands but I tied it in a special way so my brother could untie himself. 18
Soon, he went upstairs to search the bedroom for money. I managed to teach my brother to untie the rope on his hands. He then untied me. I rushed to the telephone to call the police, but the line was dead. The doors were all locked from the outside and I did not have the keys. 19 My brother managed to get out of the house through the window and asked a neighbor to call 911.

One possible version:
An earthquake drill took place on Thursday
On Thursday, October 16, our school had an earthquake drill.
Before the drill, teachers gave students detailed instructions on how to escape in an earthquake. Then, as the first alarm sounded, all of us covered the head and hid under the desks immediately. And when the second alarm sounded, we ran out one after another and ran to the playground as soon as possible. It took us only 2 minutes and 45 seconds to gather at the playground.
The earthquake drill is important for us students, from which we have learned how to escape and protect ourselves when an earthquake happens.
