I quickly stopped my skating. Smiling, my husband just said,“ Skating is your passion(酷爱), but of course we can stay at home.”
It was crazy, I know, that a thirty- seven- year- old mother of two children wanted to skate under disco ball lights after 10 years. I found the excitement growing inside me. I loved to skate. So I was out there having the time of my life, listening to music with a smile on my face and heart. I hoped I could skate again.
I belonged here. It was so right to be back on the ice.
“ Did you use to be a skater ”A little girl looked up at me with questioning eyes. Taking time to give my answer, I looked around the rink(溜冰场), where I could see so many years of lessons, Olympic dreams, and a love of the ice that would never die.“ No,”I answered.“I'm a skater.” With a smile, I glided away.
Skating had finally turned me into a champion—a winner of a lifelong passion for my favorite sport.

第二节 完成表格(每小题2分，共10分)
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格(一空一词)。
Some parents think grades should disappear. In their opinion, grades don't say much about skills which a student has developed in learning. Parents only get part of the information about students' study. The grade C in math could mean a student might still do badly in division(除法). It might also mean a student hand in his or her homework late. The teacher's comments(评价) give more information.
But not everyone likes the idea of grade- free report cards. Some parents don't want the change. They know an A is good and an F is bad. Teachers’ comments are not so direct. There's also another problem. Without grades, how would students prove that they are doing well at school
Two students share their opinions on which system is more meaningful.
Benje Choucroun: Grades are outdated(过时的). The letters and numbers on report cards turn school into a game. The goal becomes getting As or high marks.
What's more, a bad grade can hurt your confidence. And it doesn't give you advice about how to improve. Instead of focusing on grades, students should pay close attention to teachers' comments. They will help students to improve. Think about this: Grades have been around for more than a hundred years. Isn't it time to try something new
Gabrielle Hurd: Grades let parents follow their kid's progress at school. A parent can see the improvement from a C in math on an early report card to a B on the recent one. A grade of
C lets parents know their child needs more support, and an A shows skills. If schools don't use grades, parents have to read teachers' comments first. It takes a long time to read teachers' words carefully. After that, they can get to know how their child is doing. As we all know, reading comments is not as easy as reading a grade. If your child wants to enter a senior high school that wants top grades, teachers' comments may help, but the school may still need to see grades on a report card.
Topic: Should Letter Grades Be Changed
Different ideas Ideas from _31_ Ideas from students
Yes Grades can't provide the _32_ information about students' study. ◆ Teachers’ comments can help parents know about students’ study better. ◆ School is turned into a _33_. ◆ Students may not be as confident as before after knowing the grade.
No ◆ Teachers' comments are not as _34 _ as grades. ◆ Grades can prove that students have done well. ◆ A grade of C reminds parents of the35_ part of their kids' study. Parents have to spend more time reading teachers' comments. Some senior high schools need to see grades on a report card.

One possible version:
I used to be a why girl in my primary school. 1 was weak in English of that time, especially for spoken English, So I was afraid to answer the teacher's questions during English classes.
After I entered my dream middle school, something changed. I started to learn many interesting English stories and my English teacher was patient to help me a lot. I studied hard in clans and practiced by watching English films and listening to English songs in my free time. Little by little, I found it more and more interesting to learn English. I could even talk with my classmate s fluently in English and I was not shy any more. At last,I got high grades in English and I had confidence to do it better in the future.
