二、完形填空

I
used
to
be
afraid
of
answering
the
teachers'
questions
in
class.
That
was
mainly
because
I
was
too
?
(11)???to
speak
in
front
of
people.
So
I
always
chose
to
sit
at
the
back
of
the
classroom.
???
However,
all
this
?
(12)???after
I
joined
a
sports
team.
A
teacher
advised
me
to
join
the
basketball
team.
At
first
I
thought
it
was
a
crazy
?
(13)???because
playing
basketball
would
be
too
difficult
for
me.
But
the
teacher
kept
encouraging
me
to
?
(14)???for
it,
so
I
decided
to
have
a
try.
???
When
I
started
the
practice,
I
didn't
?
(15)???know
the
rules
of
the
game.
I
kept
making
mistakes.
Luckily,
?
(16)???laughed
at
me.
Then
I
decided
to
try
harder
to
practice
basketball.
For
the
first
time,
I
?
(17)???I
might
be
able
to
achieve
something
I
didn't
know.
???
I
practiced
and
practiced.
Soon
I
knew
the
?
(18)???and
the
“moves”.
Being
part
of
a
team
was
fun
and
meaningful.
As
time
went
by,
I
learned
?
(19)???to
play
basketball
and
made
friends.
I
never
had
so
much
fun!
???
Now
I
have
gone
from
?
(20)???in
the
back
of
the
classroom
to
raising
my
hand—even
when
I
am
not
100
percent
sure
that
I'll
have
the
right
answer.
I've
always
been
quite
sure
of
myself!

As
an
exchange
student,
I
must
admit(承认)
that
at
first
America
was
a
big
culture
shock
for
me.
?
?
I
stayed
with
a
host
family
in
a
small
town.My
host
parents
organized
a
lot
of
activities
in
my
spare
time
so
that
I
wouldn't
miss
home
or
feel
lonely.
?
?
However,
life
was
hard
to?get
used
to.My
main
problem
was
with
the
language.I
failed
to
understand
much
in
the
first
few
weeks
because
everyone
spoke
so
fast.Though
I
managed
to
get
used
to
it,
I
still
have
problems
because
they
use
a
lot
of
idioms(习语).
?
?
Another
difference
was
with
the
food.My
host
family
always
had
bread,
potatoes
and
salad
for
meals.I
really
miss
the
dumplings,
rice
and
delicious
dishes
from
home.
?
?
Schools
were
a
big
shock,too.They
do
not
require
students
to
wear
uniforms,
so
students
can
wear
almost
whatever
they
like.Some
students
have
strange
hairstyles(发型)
as
well.Some
students
even
have
pink
or
purple
hair!

My
dream
was
to
see
some
real
snow,
so
during
the
Christmas
holiday,
we
took
our
passports(护照)
and
flew
over
the
Pacific
to
Calgary,
Canada.We
took
a
bus
to
a
ski
resort
in
the
Canadian
Rockies.
As
the
bus
climbed
through
the
mountains,
we
saw
the
thick
snow
on
the
trees.I?was
dying
to?get
out
and
play
with
it.At
last,
we
reached
the
resort
and
quickly
jumped
out
of
the
bus.This
was
our
first
experience
with
snow.We
were
like
little
children—we
made
snowballs,
and
threw
them
at
one
another.
Then
we
checked
in
at
the
hotel.
?
?
The
next
day,
we
put
on
our
ski
suits
and
gloves,
took
our
skis
and
went
outside
onto
the
snow.Our
instructor
took
us
to
a
gentle
slope(斜坡),
and
showed
us
some
basic
skills.To
be
honest,
the
first
lesson
was
not
a
great
success.I
kept
on
falling
over,
and
I
had
to
hold
on
to
a
rope
to
keep
my
balance(平衡)
.
?
?
However,
the
next
day,
I
only
fell
over
a
few
times,
and
I
managed
to
do
a
few
rapid
runs.I
felt
pleased
with
myself,
and
my
instructor
told
me
I
was
doing
much
better.Although
it
was
very
cold,
I
spent
most
of
my
holiday
skiing.I
had
a
wonderful
time.

My
dad
used
to
say
he
knew
I
would
be
a
singer.
When
I
was
a
baby,
I
was
always
singing
loudly.Dad
was
a
big
sports
fan,
but
he
was
happy
I
loved
music.
?
?
After
dinner,
Dad
would
often
ask
me
to
sing.
He
always
said
I
sang
I
Will
Always
Love
You
much
better
than
Whitney
Houston!
?
?
At
every
school
concert
he
cheered
me
on.The
look
of
pride
on
his
face
made
me
happy.
?
?
My
life
was
full
of
concerts,
singing
lessons
and
laughter.Though
my
mom
and
brothers
helped
me,
they
did
not
share
our
love
for
music.
?
?
Our
lives
changed
when
Dad
was
told
that
he
had
cancer.We
always
hoped
that
something
would
happen
and
he
would
get
better,
but
the
doctors
told
us
that
they
could
not
save
him.
?
?
About
a
week
before
my
dad
died,
he
fell
into
a
coma(昏迷)
.The
nurses
said
even
though
Dad
did
not
reply,
he
could
still
hear
me.
?
?
The
nurses
said
I
should
sing
him
a
song.I
sang
one
of
our
favorites.As
I
sang,
my
dad
gave
me
a
big
smile,
and
clapped(鼓掌)
.
?
?
I
will
always
remember
that
smile.I
was
so?pleased
to
know
that
Dad
had
heard
me
sing
one
more
song.
?
?
My
dad
died
on
May
14,
2000.It
was
hard
to
believe:
he
was
so
full
of
life.I
don't
know
how
to
say
how
much
I
miss
him.
?
?
Now
I
have
all
the
memories
of
him
and
his
beautiful
smile
deep
inside
my
heart.I
will
always
know
that
he
is
listening
from
his
front
row
seat
in?heaven.
?
?
He
used
to
say,"Sing
from
your
heart."

My
dad
has
been
and
will
always
be
my
hero.

?
As
middle
school
students,
it?s
very
important
for
us
to
be
independent.
What
should
we
do
to
make
us
independent?
First,_let?s
begin
with
our
own
things.
It?s
our
job
to
clean
our
own
rooms
and
make
our
beds.
Second,
help
with
housework.
We
can
help
cook
or
clean
the
house
in
our
free
time.
Doing
housework
teaches
us
how
to
look
after
ourselves.
Third,
learn
actively.
We
should
learn
by
ourselves
and
finish
our
homework
on
time.
Finally,
think
about
things
by
ourselves.
We
sometimes
need
to
make
plans
or
decisions
alone.
Don?t
always
depend
on
others.
???I
think
if
we
keep
on
doing
these,
we?ll
become
more
and
more
independent.
