A
I remember that it was a fall morning when the orchestra (管弦乐队) teachers came into Miss Newell’s third-grade classroom. “You have hands for the viola (中提琴),” Miss Ciano told me. I was excited because my hands were finally good for something. I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed.
Since I first touched the viola, I haven’t been able to put it down. Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day.
Classical music is truly my best friend. It is the trusted friend of every man, woman and child. Various feelings are expressed in classical music. I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto (大提琴协奏曲) of Bach in a competition, the first movement was joyful, but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain. From the piece, I learned that music expresses not only feelings, but also sudden mood changes. By listening to classical music, I know that someone else shares these feelings. Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music, I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger.
Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument I’m certain they told me I had “viola hands” not because they were fortune-tellers (算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district. Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind. If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life.
1. According to the passage, in what way does classical music help the author
A. By developing social skills. B. By improving mental health.
C. By broadening life experience. D. By building close relationship.
2. What does the underlined word “gullible” mean in the last paragraph
A. Easily tricked. B. Firmly loved.
C. Greatly challenged. D. Secretly hidden.
3. Which could be the best title for the passage
A. Special event, sweet memory. B. Classical music, endless friendship
C. Lifetime dream, great effort. D. Happy childhood, unforgotten experience.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一个偶然的机会开始拉中提琴，感受到古典音乐对我们的情感带来的好处，并把它看作一生最诚挚的朋友的故事。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段倒数三句“I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger. (当我难过的时候，古典音乐给了我安慰。它给了我一个暂时逃避问题的方法。古典音乐可以表达我的喜悦、悲伤和愤怒)”可知，古典音乐可以帮助作者改善精神状况。故选B项。
【2题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中划线词后的一二句“for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument. I’m certain they told me I had “ viola hands” not because they were fortune-tellers (算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district.（因为相信任何人，甚至是音乐老师，都能分辨出某人的手是否适合弹奏某种乐器。我确定他们告诉我，我有“一双拉中提琴的手”不是因为他们是算命先生，而是因为在那个地区缺少中提琴演奏者）”可知，作者认识到当时相信了老师说自己“有一双拉中提琴的手”，而这其实并不是真话，由此可以猜测作者觉得自己轻信了老师的话，即gullible意思为“轻信的，易受骗的”。 故选A项。
【3题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段第一句“Classical music is truly my best friend.（古典音乐是我最好的朋友）”和文章最后一句“If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life.（如果你以正确的方式了解它，它将成为你终生的朋友）”可知，本文主要讲述了作者一个偶然的机会开始拉中提琴，从此古典音乐成了作者最好的朋友。因此“Classical Music, Endless Friendship（古典音乐，永恒的友谊）”适合可以用作文章标题。故选B项。
B
From woodworker to great artist—this was the course of Qi Baishi’s life. He achieved success by coupling talent with hard work. In 1953, he was honoured with the title “People’s Artist” by the Chinese government.
For most of the general public, his masterpieces are his paintings of shrimps. At the beginning, he painted these small animals by following ancient models. Later, he developed a personal style by using shades of black ink to show a shrimp’s body, giving it an almost real-life feel. Besides, his paintings of flowers and vegetables, indicating rich harvests (丰收), are famous as well. People love these nature-based paintings because the works remind them of the countryside and of their hometowns. The dove is another common image in Qi’s art during his later years, showing his wish for world peace.
Be it landscapes, birds, flowers or figures, Qi’s paintings are rich in expression and detail. Using heavy ink, bright colors and energetic strokes (运笔), he created works in a fresh and lively manner, expressing his love of nature and life. His art reflects an international trend (趋势) in modern art at the time, yet he expressed it in a typical Chinese way.
Qi was hard-working even in his 70s. He kept looking for higher goals, especially as he got older. While many other Chinese artists retire from public life at an old age, Qi actively took on more social responsibilities. He said: “I love my hometown, my country and all the lives there. In recent years, I have realized that what I run after is world peace.”
In 1956, he was awarded the International Peace Prize by the World Peace Council.

A diet high in fats and sugars actually affects the parts of the brain that are important to memory and makes people more likely to desire for unhealthful food, says American psychologist Terry Davidson.
Davidson didn’t start out studying people’s eating. Instead, he was interested in learning about the hippocampus（海马体）, a part of the brain heavily involved in memory. He noticed something strange when he studied mice with hippocampal damage. They would go to pick up food more often than the others, but they would eat a little bit, then drop it.
Davidson realized these mice didn’t know they were full. He says something similar may happen in human brains when people eat a diet high in fat and sugar. If our brain system is damaged by that diet, that makes it harder for us to stop eating that diet.
The evidence is growing. In another study by Cambridge psychologist Lucy Cheke, her researchers asked obese（肥胖的）and thin people to do a memory task, a virtual treasure hunt. The subjects had to hide something in a scene across various computer sessions（会话框）, then they were asked what they hid, where they hid it and in which session. The obese people were 15-20 percent worse than the thin ones in all aspects of the experiment.
Cheke says with the link between obesity and the brain growing as a field of research, we could see more ways of targeting obesity. For example, if the problem is that obese peopled diet degrades their memory, perhaps making peopled meals more memorable would help them eat less bad stuff. Previous researches showed that watching TV while eating will probably make people eat more, get hungry in the afternoon and eat more at dinner. So Cheke suggests not watching TV while eating. It is one of the easy changes people can make that don’t involve much self-control, but that makes a great difference.
8. What inspired Davidson’s new finding
A. The growing popularity of unhealthy diet. B. His former study on hippocampus.
C. His research on people’s eating habits. D. The strange behaviour of the studied mice.
9. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A sense of hunger. B. The similarity in brains.
C. The damage of brain. D. A diet high in fat and sugar.
10. What are the subjects in Cheke’s study required to do
A. Memorize the treasure locations. B. Answer questions on their hiding task.
C. Chat on various computer sessions. D. Conduct an experiment with obesity.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Possible approaches to targeting obesity. B. The research’s contribution to brain science.
C. The link between obesity and memory. D. Changes of people’s living habits.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明高脂肪和高糖的饮食实际上会影响大脑中对记忆很重要的部分，使人们更容易想吃不健康的食物。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Davidson didn’t start out studying people’s eating. Instead, he was interested in learning about the hippocampus（海马体）, a part of the brain heavily involved in memory. He noticed something strange when he studied mice with hippocampal damage. They would go to pick up food more often than the others, but they would eat a little bit, then drop it.(戴维森一开始并没有研究人们的饮食。相反，他感兴趣的是学习海马体，这是大脑中与记忆密切相关的一部分。当他研究海马损伤的老鼠时，他注意到了一些奇怪的事情。他们会比其他老鼠更频繁地去捡食物，但他们会吃一点，然后扔掉。)”可知，Davidson是注意到做实验的老鼠的一些奇怪的行为才开始自己的研究。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“If our brain system is damaged by that diet(如果我们的大脑系统被这种饮食破坏了)”可知，下文的“that”指的是大脑被饮食损坏。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In another study by Cambridge psychologist Lucy Cheke, her researchers asked obese（肥胖的）and thin people to do a memory task, a virtual treasure hunt. The subjects had to hide something in a scene across various computer sessions（会话框）, then they were asked what they hid, where they hid it and in which session. The obese people were 15-20 percent worse than the thin ones in all aspects of the experiment.(在剑桥大学心理学家Lucy Cheke的另一项研究中，她的研究人员让肥胖者和瘦子做一项记忆任务，这是一场虚拟的寻宝游戏。受试者必须在不同的计算机会话中隐藏某个场景中的东西，然后问他们隐藏了什么，藏在哪里，在哪个会话中。在实验的各个方面，肥胖的人比瘦弱的人差15- 20%。)”可知，在Lucy Cheke的实验中，参与实验的人员被要求回答一些和藏东西有关的问题。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Cheke says with the link between obesity and the brain growing as a field of research, we could see more ways of targeting obesity.( Cheke说，随着肥胖和大脑之间的联系成为一个研究领域，我们可以看到更多针对肥胖的方法。)”以及“So Cheke suggests not watching TV while eating. It is one of the easy changes people can make that don’t involve much self-control, but that makes a great difference.(所以Cheke建议不要边吃边看电视。这是人们可以做的一个简单的改变，不需要太多的自我控制，但却会产生很大的不同。)”可知，最后一段主要讲述的是减肥的一些可能的方法。故选A。
D
Music has been around since the first man walked on the Earth. Every beat or sound our ancestors heard was in some way a kind of music. Dating back to the early age, music would have been something as simple as the sound of the sea wave, or a wild animal running across the plain. Today’s music is so varied that almost every child or teenager has a long list of favorite songs that they like to listen to on their smartphone or other devices.
But even with such a large variety of music forms today, I’m sure the traditionalists wouldn’t agree with what today’s youngsters refer to as good music. Nowadays, young people are looking to discover the latest “in music”. This is the sort of music that is able to make everyone feel great at the moment but soon forgotten once something better comes along.
For me, I’m truly in love with rock music. Rock is a hugely misunderstood type, with many people simply connecting it with negative social problems such as drugs and overdrinking, given that some of the world’s most famous rock stars have been in the press for their frightening behaviors under the influence of beers or wines. However, it is important to tell the difference between artists and their music, and not make unnecessary judgments about the music just because of the behavior of the musician.
Another widely misunderstood belief is that rock music is only about drums and guitars, when that is just its outward face. A wide variety of other instruments are important to rock, and make an important contribution to the sound of the music as a whole, other than just guitars and drums.
12. Why does the author mention the nature sound in paragraph 1
A. To show the simplicity of early music. B. To present the variety of early music.
C. To indicate the history of music. D. To promote people’s love of nature.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. Music changes over time. B. Music comes in various forms.
C. “In music” challenges the traditionalists. D. Opinions are divided on music preference.
14. Why is rock music often misunderstood
A. Media only reports musicians negatively. B. Some rock stars behave improperly.
C. Rock expresses drugs and overdrinking. D. Music instruments of rock are traditional.
15. What does the author want to express in general
A. Every teenager has their own favorite songs. B. Traditional music can easily be forgotten.
C. Music should be judged fairly. D. Drums and guitars stand for rock music.
【答案】12 A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，指出当代年轻人与传统主义者所喜欢的音乐不同，以及摇滚乐被误解的两大方面并对此加以澄清。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的第三句“Dating back to the early age, music would have been something as simple as the sound of the sea wave, or a wild animal running across the plain.”(早期音乐十分简单，如海浪声或是野生动物在平原上奔跑的声音。)可知，提到自然声音用于举例说明早期音乐的简单质朴。故选A项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“But even with such a large variety of music forms today, I’m sure the traditionalists wouldn’t agree with what today’s youngsters refer to as good music. Nowadays, young people are looking to discover the latest “in music”. This is the sort of music that is able to make everyone feel great at the moment but soon forgotten once something better comes along.”(但即使今天有如此多样的音乐形式，我相信传统主义者也不会认可当下年轻人所说的好音乐。如今，年轻人追求最新的“流行音乐”。这种音乐能够让每个人此刻都感觉很棒，但一旦有更好的东西出现，很快就会被忘记。)可知，该段主要讲的是当下年轻人与传统主义者音乐喜好偏向的不同，许多年轻人更喜欢流行音乐，而传统主义者不认可这些年轻人所认为的好音乐。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的第二句“Rock is a hugely misunderstood type, with many people simply connecting it with negative social problems such as drugs and overdrinking, given that some of the world’s most famous rock stars have been in the press for their frightening behaviors under the influence of beers or wines.”(摇滚是最受人误解的音乐，许多人只是单纯把摇滚与诸如吸毒和酗酒等负面社会问题联系在一起，这是因为世界上一些最著名的摇滚明星曾在啤酒或葡萄酒影响下做出了可怕的行为，被媒体报道。)可知，摇滚乐常常遭人误解是由某些摇滚明星的不当行为导致的。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍早期音乐的形式；第二段谈论当下年轻人与传统主义者的不同音乐偏向；最后两段谈论人们对摇滚乐的两大误解，并表明自己的观点：“However, it is important to tell the difference between artists and their music, and not make unnecessary judgments about the music just because of the behavior of the musician.”(然而，重要的是要区分艺术家和他们的音乐之间的差异，不要仅仅因为音乐家的行为就对音乐做出不必要的判断。)即不要对音乐做出不必要的判断，这段话出自第三段的最后一句。所以，本文作者主要想表达的是要公正评判音乐。故选C项。

(你会逐渐形成只有通过反复练习才能获得的绘画肌肉记忆)”是对前文的总结。故选G项。
【18题详解】
分析设空处，空处位于第二句，此处应是对前一句的进一步解释，并同时引出后文，根据前文“Continually challenge yourself to try something new. (不断挑战自己，尝试新事物)”以及后文“Artistic growth can be a bit painful. (艺术的成长可能会有点痛苦)”可知，A项“Get out of your comfort zone. (走出你的舒适区)”是对前句的进一步说明，和后文构成顺承关系。故选A项。

(寻求并接受有建设性的反馈对于你的成长非常重要。我在社交媒体上发布我的作品，并因此结识了一些最友好的人。无论我的艺术水平如何，他们都让我感到受到了重视和尊重)”可知，本段主要讲述了是分享自己的作品，所以D项“Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so. (如果你感觉舒适的话，分享你的作品)”符合文意，是本段的中心句。故选D项。
【20题详解】
分析设空处，空处位于第二句，此处应是对前一句的进一步解释，并同时引出后文，根据前文“The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path. (你的旅程不会是一条笔直的道路)”以及后文“Push through, give it time and put in the effort.

56. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
People often have a tough time dealing with their feelings of disappointment. That is when you should give them time and understanding and he or she just might come around before long.
I remember talking with my friend Avery about the coming school play Alices Adventure in Wonderland, which we both applied for. Avery had a talent for acting and she was anxious for playing Alice while for me I didn’t care what part I played as long as I would be in. However, when character list was posted, we were surprised to find that I got the part of Alice and Avery was chosen to act the rabbit. I guessed it was because I hadn’t been nervous at all during the audition (试演). But that situation really didn’t occur to me.
Then I asked Avery, “Do you want to come over after school and we can practice our lines ” “You mean, practice your lines ” Avery replied, not even looking at me. “No, thanks. I’m pretty busy this week.” I continued to ask if it would be OK for next week but her answer was negative and full of anger.
That night at dinner, after my parents congratulated me on getting the lead role, they asked how I felt. “Well, I can’t understand.” I said and told them about Avery’s reaction and I believed that she pretty much threw away our friendship.
“Hmm,” said my dad. “Arizona, don’t you think this might be an opportunity for you to be an extra-good friend ” “Dad’s right,” added my mom. “Sometimes when our friends do well, we feel envious (羡慕的) and don’t know how to act. Try giving her a little time and understanding. She’ll come around.”
Over the next week, I did my best to give Avery some space. I practised my lines but I knew I needed some help since my voice was not expressive enough. Day by day, Avery’s attitude seemed softened. As the rehearsal (彩排) day was near, I made a decision.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

【答案】One day after school in the rehearsal room, I approached Avery. “Hey, Avery,” I said. “I was wondering if you could help me with my lines. I know you’re busy, but I really need your help.” Avery looked up at me and smiled. “Sure, I’d be happy to help.” We spent the next hour going over my lines and she gave me some great advice on how to make my performance more expressive. I was so grateful for her help and I could tell that she was happy to be able to help me.
Then came the big day. We both performed our parts perfectly and the audience was thrilled. After the show, Avery and I hugged each other and thanked each other for our help. I was so glad that I had given her time and understanding, and that she had come around. From then on, we were even better friends than before.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I remember that it was a fall morning when the orchestra (管弦乐队) teachers came into Miss Newell’s third-grade classroom. “You have hands for the viola (中提琴),” Miss Ciano told me. I was excited because my hands were finally good for something. I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed.
Since I first touched the viola, I haven’t been able to put it down. Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day.
Classical music is truly my best friend. It is the trusted friend of every man, woman and child. Various feelings are expressed in classical music. I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto (大提琴协奏曲) of Bach in a competition, the first movement was joyful, but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain. From the piece, I learned that music expresses not only feelings, but also sudden mood changes. By listening to classical music, I know that someone else shares these feelings. Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music, I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger.
Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument I’m certain they told me I had “viola hands” not because they were fortune-tellers (算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district. Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind. If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life.
1. According to the passage, in what way does classical music help the author
A. By developing social skills. B. By improving mental health.
C. By broadening life experience. D. By building close relationship.
2. What does the underlined word “gullible” mean in the last paragraph
A. Easily tricked. B. Firmly loved.
C. Greatly challenged. D. Secretly hidden.
3. Which could be the best title for the passage
A. Special event, sweet memory. B. Classical music, endless friendship
C. Lifetime dream, great effort. D. Happy childhood, unforgotten experience.
B
From woodworker to great artist—this was the course of Qi Baishi’s life. He achieved success by coupling talent with hard work. In 1953, he was honoured with the title “People’s Artist” by the Chinese government.
For most of the general public, his masterpieces are his paintings of shrimps. At the beginning, he painted these small animals by following ancient models. Later, he developed a personal style by using shades of black ink to show a shrimp’s body, giving it an almost real-life feel. Besides, his paintings of flowers and vegetables, indicating rich harvests (丰收), are famous as well. People love these nature-based paintings because the works remind them of the countryside and of their hometowns. The dove is another common image in Qi’s art during his later years, showing his wish for world peace.
Be it landscapes, birds, flowers or figures, Qi’s paintings are rich in expression and detail. Using heavy ink, bright colors and energetic strokes (运笔), he created works in a fresh and lively manner, expressing his love of nature and life. His art reflects an international trend (趋势) in modern art at the time, yet he expressed it in a typical Chinese way.
Qi was hard-working even in his 70s. He kept looking for higher goals, especially as he got older. While many other Chinese artists retire from public life at an old age, Qi actively took on more social responsibilities. He said: “I love my hometown, my country and all the lives there. In recent years, I have realized that what I run after is world peace.”
In 1956, he was awarded the International Peace Prize by the World Peace Council.
4. Why are Qi Baishi’s nature-based paintings popular
A. They lift people’s spirits. B. They touch people’s feelings.
C. They inspire people’s passions. D. They reflect people’s wishes.
5. What does paragraph 3 focus on about Qi Baishi
A. His masterpieces. B. His influence.
C. His painting subjects. D. His painting style.
6. Why was Qi Baishi still hard-working at an old age
A To popularize Chinese paintings. B. To involve the youth in arts.
C. To shoulder more social responsibilities. D. To earn international reputation.
7. Which of the following words can be used to best describe Qi
A. Remarkable and admirable. B. Passionate and confident.
C. Intelligent and generous. D. Realistic and professional.
C
A diet high in fats and sugars actually affects the parts of the brain that are important to memory and makes people more likely to desire for unhealthful food, says American psychologist Terry Davidson.
Davidson didn’t start out studying people’s eating. Instead, he was interested in learning about the hippocampus（海马体）, a part of the brain heavily involved in memory. He noticed something strange when he studied mice with hippocampal damage. They would go to pick up food more often than the others, but they would eat a little bit, then drop it.
Davidson realized these mice didn’t know they were full. He says something similar may happen in human brains when people eat a diet high in fat and sugar. If our brain system is damaged by that diet, that makes it harder for us to stop eating that diet.
The evidence is growing. In another study by Cambridge psychologist Lucy Cheke, her researchers asked obese（肥胖的）and thin people to do a memory task, a virtual treasure hunt. The subjects had to hide something in a scene across various computer sessions（会话框）, then they were asked what they hid, where they hid it and in which session. The obese people were 15-20 percent worse than the thin ones in all aspects of the experiment.
Cheke says with the link between obesity and the brain growing as a field of research, we could see more ways of targeting obesity. For example, if the problem is that obese peopled diet degrades their memory, perhaps making peopled meals more memorable would help them eat less bad stuff. Previous researches showed that watching TV while eating will probably make people eat more, get hungry in the afternoon and eat more at dinner. So Cheke suggests not watching TV while eating. It is one of the easy changes people can make that don’t involve much self-control, but that makes a great difference.
8. What inspired Davidson’s new finding
A. The growing popularity of unhealthy diet. B. His former study on hippocampus.
C. His research on people’s eating habits. D. The strange behaviour of the studied mice.
9. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to

Music has been around since the first man walked on the Earth. Every beat or sound our ancestors heard was in some way a kind of music. Dating back to the early age, music would have been something as simple as the sound of the sea wave, or a wild animal running across the plain. Today’s music is so varied that almost every child or teenager has a long list of favorite songs that they like to listen to on their smartphone or other devices.
But even with such a large variety of music forms today, I’m sure the traditionalists wouldn’t agree with what today’s youngsters refer to as good music. Nowadays, young people are looking to discover the latest “in music”. This is the sort of music that is able to make everyone feel great at the moment but soon forgotten once something better comes along.
For me, I’m truly in love with rock music. Rock is a hugely misunderstood type, with many people simply connecting it with negative social problems such as drugs and overdrinking, given that some of the world’s most famous rock stars have been in the press for their frightening behaviors under the influence of beers or wines. However, it is important to tell the difference between artists and their music, and not make unnecessary judgments about the music just because of the behavior of the musician.
Another widely misunderstood belief is that rock music is only about drums and guitars, when that is just its outward face. A wide variety of other instruments are important to rock, and make an important contribution to the sound of the music as a whole, other than just guitars and drums.
12. Why does the author mention the nature sound in paragraph 1
A. To show the simplicity of early music. B. To present the variety of early music.
C. To indicate the history of music. D. To promote people’s love of nature.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. Music changes over time. B. Music comes in various forms.
C. “In music” challenges the traditionalists. D. Opinions are divided on music preference.
14. Why is rock music often misunderstood
A. Media only reports musicians negatively. B. Some rock stars behave improperly.
C. Rock expresses drugs and overdrinking. D. Music instruments of rock are traditional.
15. What does the author want to express in general
A. Every teenager has their own favorite songs. B. Traditional music can easily be forgotten.
C. Music should be judged fairly. D. Drums and guitars stand for rock music.

People often have a tough time dealing with their feelings of disappointment. That is when you should give them time and understanding and he or she just might come around before long.
I remember talking with my friend Avery about the coming school play Alices Adventure in Wonderland, which we both applied for. Avery had a talent for acting and she was anxious for playing Alice while for me I didn’t care what part I played as long as I would be in. However, when character list was posted, we were surprised to find that I got the part of Alice and Avery was chosen to act the rabbit. I guessed it was because I hadn’t been nervous at all during the audition (试演). But that situation really didn’t occur to me.
Then I asked Avery, “Do you want to come over after school and we can practice our lines ” “You mean, practice your lines ” Avery replied, not even looking at me. “No, thanks. I’m pretty busy this week.” I continued to ask if it would be OK for next week but her answer was negative and full of anger.
That night at dinner, after my parents congratulated me on getting the lead role, they asked how I felt. “Well, I can’t understand.” I said and told them about Avery’s reaction and I believed that she pretty much threw away our friendship.
“Hmm,” said my dad. “Arizona, don’t you think this might be an opportunity for you to be an extra-good friend ” “Dad’s right,” added my mom. “Sometimes when our friends do well, we feel envious (羡慕的) and don’t know how to act. Try giving her a little time and understanding. She’ll come around.”
Over the next week, I did my best to give Avery some space. I practised my lines but I knew I needed some help since my voice was not expressive enough. Day by day, Avery’s attitude seemed softened. As the rehearsal (彩排) day was near, I made a decision.
注意：
