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.

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 and how much she hated her mother.
“I want a new mom,” she cried.
“Unfortunately, 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.

A．a week B．two days C．three days D．only one day

七、话题作文：
I have changed a lot
How times flies! Two years has passed. I have changed a lot.
I used to be shy and quiet in class. But now I am not shy anymore. My good friend encouraged me to make more friends and he gave me a lot of help. Now I am outgoing and active. The most change in my life is that my English improved a lot. Thanks to my English teacher, Ms. Li, I have made great progress. She gave me some useful advice on English. Gradually, I became more and more interested in English. And my grades have become better and better.
From this experience, I get to know that when change comes, we should face it bravely.
