When I was fourteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn't the first time I had been to the foreign countries (Like man, English children, I had often been to France). So when I went to America, I thought I would have a nice easy holiday without any language problems.
How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to tell my American friend Danny that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.
"Yes," I said, "I want to give my friend a ring."
"Well, that's nice," he said. "Are you getting married But aren't you too young "
"Who is talking about marriage(婚姻) " I replied, "I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him I've arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box "
"Oh," he said, "there is a phone downstairs."
When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.

I'm not the kind of mother who often brushes her daughter's hair, and my daughter has never liked sitting quietly long enough for me to do it.
But today, I took a chair outside and let my daughter Kitty sit on it. She was sitting high with her eyes closed, skin still wet from the shower and her messy hair behind her back. I realized she was taking in every touch from my hands. Today we would send Kitty away for a week of a summer camp. This was all my idea. She's nearly 12, and I notice that I'm with my child nearly 24 hours a day. Living on the farm without neighbours, Kitty has become increasingly dependent(依赖的) on me.
After lunch, we drove to the camp place. After we got out of the car, we were introduced to the other children. Kitty followed me closely, holding my hand all the time. "I need you for a few more minutes," she said to me, horror in her eyes.
I pulled away and walked up to a camp worker. "Excuse me," I said loudly, "I'd like to introduce you to my daughter. Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids." He came over to talk to Kitty and I kissed on her face. Then we all disappeared before Kitty realized we had left.
On my way home, I felt a piece of my soul(灵魂) had been taken away from my body. I began to shake. Tears came down my face. When I arrived home, I calmed down and reminded(提醒) myself why I chose this path. "I want Kitty to have a chance to find herself, out of my shadow. If I don't set her free, I'm afraid she won't be independent forever," I said to myself.

When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do
In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.
Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star” If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn't happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.
Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit's foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit's feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit!”
People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole year of good luck!
（1）______ is mentioned (提到) in the oldest good luck tradition.
A．A rabbit's foot B．A falling leaf
C．A cheerful wish from friends D．A shooting star
（2）From Paragraph 3, we know that _______.
A．we can often see shooting stars
B．people can see a shooting star on a rainy night
C．your wish may come true if you see a shooting star
D．people believe that it's unlucky to see a shooting star
（3）The British try to catch 12 falling leaves because _______.
A．the leaves fall in autumn
B．there are so many leaves to catch
C．the leaves can bring them a lucky month
D．they want to have a whole year of good luck
（4）In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “them” refers to ______.
A．trees B．people C．leaves D．years
（5）The passage is mainly about ______.
A．how to wish upon a star

How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to tell my American friend Danny that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.
"Yes," I said, "I want to give my friend a ring."
"Well, that's nice," he said. "Are you getting married But aren't you too young "
"Who is talking about marriage(婚姻) " I replied, "I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him I've arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box "
"Oh," he said, "there is a phone downstairs."
When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.

I'm not the kind of mother who often brushes her daughter's hair, and my daughter has never liked sitting quietly long enough for me to do it.
But today, I took a chair outside and let my daughter Kitty sit on it. She was sitting high with her eyes closed, skin still wet from the shower and her messy hair behind her back. I realized she was taking in every touch from my hands. Today we would send Kitty away for a week of a summer camp. This was all my idea. She's nearly 12, and I notice that I'm with my child nearly 24 hours a day. Living on the farm without neighbours, Kitty has become increasingly dependent(依赖的) on me.
After lunch, we drove to the camp place. After we got out of the car, we were introduced to the other children. Kitty followed me closely, holding my hand all the time. "I need you for a few more minutes," she said to me, horror in her eyes.
I pulled away and walked up to a camp worker. "Excuse me," I said loudly, "I'd like to introduce you to my daughter. Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids." He came over to talk to Kitty and I kissed on her face. Then we all disappeared before Kitty realized we had left.
On my way home, I felt a piece of my soul(灵魂) had been taken away from my body. I began to shake. Tears came down my face. When I arrived home, I calmed down and reminded(提醒) myself why I chose this path. "I want Kitty to have a chance to find herself, out of my shadow. If I don't set her free, I'm afraid she won't be independent forever," I said to myself.

When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do
In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.
Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star” If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn't happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.
Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit's foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit's feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit!”
People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole year of good luck!
（1）______ is mentioned (提到) in the oldest good luck tradition.
A．A rabbit's foot B．A falling leaf
C．A cheerful wish from friends D．A shooting star
（2）From Paragraph 3, we know that _______.
A．we can often see shooting stars
B．people can see a shooting star on a rainy night
C．your wish may come true if you see a shooting star
D．people believe that it's unlucky to see a shooting star
（3）The British try to catch 12 falling leaves because _______.
A．the leaves fall in autumn
B．there are so many leaves to catch
C．the leaves can bring them a lucky month
D．they want to have a whole year of good luck
（4）In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “them” refers to ______.
A．trees B．people C．leaves D．years
（5）The passage is mainly about ______.
A．how to wish upon a star
B．things that bring good luck
