My family used to live in London. But then a few years ago my father got transferred (调动) and we came to a small town in Scotland. Everything was new here. The neighborhood, and the school. I was not liking it much here. At this new school, nobody knew me. As I was shy, I had difficulty making friends and felt lonely all the time.
One day, when I was sitting in my seat, a girl came to me and introduced herself. It was Vivian. She smiled at me and asked if I wanted to have lunch with her. That day, we spent a great time together. Slowly, we became best friends.
In the coming month of October, it was my best friend's birthday. I and other classmates in the school had planned a day out for her. We all decided to take her to a nearby picnic spot in the afternoon and give her a surprise party. Everybody contributed a little to the cake and snacks. After school, we took her to the picnic spot. She cut the cake and we all enjoyed the snacks. After everybody had eaten, we all decided to enjoy the boat ride.
It was a pleasant day. The lake was small but beautiful. We were all singing together and cheering up. In the clear blue water of the lake, we could see the colorful fishes swimming rapidly. There were also ducks adding to the beauty of the scene.
Everybody started clapping looking at those pretty birds. Vivian also became quite excited. Just when she was trying to touch the ducks, she lost her balance. Before anyone could do anything, she fell into the lake.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
I loved weightlifting and began to do that at 12 years old. During my first year of high school, I increased the amount of training and put everything into my dream to one day compete internationally. Unfortunately, I was not a naturally-gifted athlete. But I worked hard. When I was a senior in high school, I won two national championships and earned nine national-level medals in all.
However, I didn't make it to compete for Team USA. I didn't meet the requirements for the IWF Youth World Championships team and was later an alternate (候补者) for the Pan-American Youth Championships team. I struggled to accept the fact that I never achieved the one goal I worked for during the last four years, representing Team USA internationally. I lost the passion I once had for the sport and took a step back from competing for a few months.
After I started college, I once again came into contact with barbells (杠铃) during my PE classes. Once I touched the barbell again, I just wanted to continue lifting weights and see how far I could physically and mentally push myself. I decided to start training full-time again to see what I could achieve during the rest of my college years.
I stopped caring about the weight on the bar, the girls I was competing against and the idea of being on Team USA. I started focusing on being confident and consistent with every lift-training with consistent weights on the barbells, skills and positive self-encouragement. Training and weightlifting became a competition with myself, rather than with other weightlifters.
During University Nationals 2022, I represented Temple as a university student. It was the first competition in my eight years of competing where I felt confident during every lift. The work I put into the six minutes spent on the lift paid off in every way. Later, I became a 2022 All-American athlete and finally made my first international team.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从一名差点放弃举重梦想的高中生到成为一名全美举重运动员的历程。
1．What did the author achieve in weightlifting as a senior in high school
A．Discovering her great weightlifting talent.
B．Competing in an international game.
C．Becoming a member of Team USA.
D．Winning several national medals.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When I was a senior in high school, I won two national championships and earned nine national-level medals in all.”可知，作者在高中时赢得了几枚国家奖牌。
2．How did the author probably feel as an alternate for the Pan-American Youth Championships team
A．Honoured. B．Discouraged.
C．Nervous. D．Satisfied.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I lost the passion I once had for the sport and took a step back from competing for a few months.”可知，成为泛美青年锦标赛代表队的候补队员后，作者很难接受，失去了热情，由此可推测出，作者感到很灰心。
3．What did the author focus on in weightlifting during college
A．Making progress for herself.
B．Increasing weight on the barbells.
C．Competing with other weightlifters.
D．Entering international weightlifting games.
√

“Number 7, Jobie Nymble, takes the lead，” cried the announcer. “Just one more hurdle and ...”Cheers erupted.
“Jobie Nymble from Riverside Middle School takes first place in the girls' 100-meter hurdles！”
“County championships, here we come，” screamed Jobie, patting her worn neon-green track shoes. They were bursting at the seams, but she didn't care. They were her lucky shoes and she loved them. “Next Saturday, we're taking home the gold，” Jobie whispered to her lucky track shoes, excitedly retying them. Pop! She sighed as she stared at the broken-off piece of shoelaces dangling between her fingers.
“Don't forget, guys，” chirped Marisol, one of her teammates. “My birthday party is next Friday at Hidden Park.”
“Beep. Party recorded in calendar，” joked Jobie in her best robot voice.
Next weekend couldn't come soon enough. Jobie was excited all week long. At track practice, she leaped over those hurdles faster than she'd ever leaped before.
The day of Marisol's party, Jobie put on her favorite outfit and her lucky track shoes. “Perfect.” She smiled at herself in the mirror.
The party was in full swing when Jobie arrived. She saw two of her teammates rushing toward her, breathless and barefoot. “Come on，” they said excitedly, “You have to try the slide.” “Slide What sli ...” Suddenly, she saw it. The BIGGEST inflatable slide she had ever seen was on the far side of the park. Without thinking twice, Jobie threw aside her shoes and run toward the slide. Its ladder stretched to the sky but she reached the top in no time. She slid down, and closed her eyes as she let go. “Woo-hoo！”
Jobie couldn't get enough. When it was finally time to go home, she reluctantly made her way back to the track where she'd left her shoes. As she eyed the area from a distance, panic set in.

She picked up her pace. When she reached the place she'd left them, her heart stopped. “They're gone！” she screamed. “My lucky shoes are gone！” Her heart pounding wildly and tears circling in her eyes, she checked the place again but there was still no trace of her shoes. Her teammates also helped her search the park but with no luck. Finally, Jobie had no choice but to wear another pair of new shoes for the competition next day. Without the company of her lucky shoes, Jobie didn't know whether she could make it.
The next day, all the teams gathered for the championships. Jobie felt uncomfortable in her brand-new shoes. “Next up is the girls' 100-meter hurdles，” said the announcer. “Go, Jobie！” Her teammates patted her back as she slowly walked down to the starting e on, try your best! She said to herself. She was so focused that she felt unbelievable when her teammates told her that she had won the gold medal. Only then did she realize that it was not the lucky shoes but her own effort that brought her championship.UNIT 2 课时检测(八) Writing Workshop
Ⅰ.阅读理解
I loved weightlifting and began to do that at 12 years old. During my first year of high school, I increased the amount of training and put everything into my dream to one day compete internationally. Unfortunately, I was not a naturally gifted athlete. But I worked hard. When I was a senior in high school, I won two national championships and earned nine national level medals in all.
However, I didn't make it to compete for Team USA. I didn't meet the requirements for the IWF Youth World Championships team and was later an alternate (候补者) for the Pan American Youth Championships team. I struggled to accept the fact that I never achieved the one goal I worked for during the last four years, representing Team USA internationally. I lost the passion I once had for the sport and took a step back from competing for a few months.
After I started college, I once again came into contact with barbells (杠铃) during my PE classes. Once I touched the barbell again, I just wanted to continue lifting weights and see how far I could physically and mentally push myself. I decided to start training full time again to see what I could achieve during the rest of my college years.
I stopped caring about the weight on the bar, the girls I was competing against and the idea of being on Team USA. I started focusing on being confident and consistent with every lift training with consistent weights on the barbells, skills and positive self encouragement. Training and weightlifting became a competition with myself, rather than with other weightlifters.
During University Nationals 2022, I represented Temple as a university student. It was the first competition in my eight years of competing where I felt confident during every lift. The work I put into the six minutes spent on the lift paid off in every way. Later, I became a 2022 All American athlete and finally made my first international team.
