“Wanted: Violin. Can’t pay much. Call…”

Even though times were   16 , I couldn’t wait any longer to ask. “Daddy, may I have a violin of   17 ?” Daddy’s face looked   18 . But a few weeks later, Daddy went home, with a case in his hand,   19 ,“Mary, I found this secondhand violin for seven dollars.”
The day when I carried my violin to school for my first lesson , no one could know how   20  I was. I practiced, joined the school orchestra(管弦樂隊(duì)), gave performances……Several years seemed to run even quickly and I found myself in the first violin chair. More years   21 , and my violin made every move with me, until one day, I carefully   22  it away.
Now here   23  this want advertisement, I discovered the case deep in my closet（儲(chǔ)藏室）. I put it on the table. Then I picked up the   24 , walked to the telephone and called by the   25 .
Later in the day, a man of about 30 knocked at the door. “I’ve been expecting someone would  26  my advertisement. My daughter wants a violin so  27 ,”he said, examining my violin. “How much are you asking?”
I said, “Seven dollars.” “Are you sure?” he asked,   28  he did not believe his ears. “Seven dollars.” I   29  and then added,” I hope your little girl will enjoy it   30  I did.”

本文作者由報(bào)紙上的廣告想起了自己童年的一段經(jīng)歷。全文圍繞一把小提琴，把作者的內(nèi)心世界呈現(xiàn)在讀者眼前。
小題1:B盡管當(dāng)時(shí)日子很艱苦hard，但我還是迫不及待地想問。
小題1:B a violin of mine我自己的一把小提琴。句意：爸爸，我可以有我自己的一把小提琴嗎？
小題1:C我向爸爸要小提琴，而爸爸又沒錢，由此可推測(cè)，當(dāng)時(shí)“爸爸的臉色看上去很憂傷”。
小題1:B爸爸回到家，手里拿著一個(gè)盒子，對(duì)我說saying。
小題1:B從上下文可知，當(dāng)時(shí)“我”家里很窮，可爸爸還是給我買了一把小提琴，盡管是舊的，但是“沒有人知道我當(dāng)時(shí)心里有多激動(dòng)”。
小題1:D由下文的 More years passed 可推測(cè)此處填，多少年過去了。
小題1:B我的小提琴隨我進(jìn)行每一次搬遷，而且我小心保管著它。put away 意為“存放，擱起來”。
小題1:D又回到了現(xiàn)實(shí)，看著報(bào)紙上的廣告。
小題1:D根據(jù)上文“我小心地把小提琴收藏起來”，判斷此處應(yīng)為我從壁櫥深處找到了(盛它的)箱子。
小題1:C從后面的 … walked to the telephone and called by means of the number 可知，“我”是拿著報(bào)紙去打電話(因?yàn)閳?bào)紙上有電話號(hào)碼)。
小題1:B句意為：我一直盼望著有人回復(fù)我的廣告。answer 在此具有“答復(fù)，回復(fù)”之意。
小題1:A句意為：我女兒非常想要一把小提琴。badly 在此意為“非常，很”。
小題1:C從下文我重復(fù)“7 美元”及提出的希望來看，說明我要價(jià)太低了，來人竟不敢相信
小題1:A根據(jù)Are you sure?，可知我重復(fù)“7 美元”。
小題1:D as正如之意。我希望你的小女孩正如我喜歡它一樣。

Dear Nancy,
You asked about places to go and things to do in our town. The Downtown Mall is always  51  . It’s a   52  place in the oldest part of town. There are some good stores and restaurants there.    53  , Trendy Clothing Store is in Downtown Mall. It’s a fun place to shop, and it has the   54   quality clothes. The shop assistants are friendly   55   people. My favorite     56   in town is Nick’s Restaurant. It is close to my house. It’s cheap and the hamburgers there are great. I like Dragon City Restaurant,    57  . You can eat wonderful noodles there and the beef noodles are the most delicious! You must try the dumplings there, too. But it’s more expensive than Nick’s. The Big Cinema is the best cinema in town. It has the biggest screen and the most  58   seats. The Del Ray Complex is also a good place to see movies. It doesn’t have the 59  movies, but the tickets are the cheapest.
Anyway, there are lots of things to do and to see here. Come for a   60  soon!
Love,
Kate

During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island (島嶼), I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”
So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole (洞) in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (獨(dú)木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.
That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive.  A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.
My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.
I kept food and tools (工具) at both my houses, and also wild goats (山羊). There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.
小題1: The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to _____________.
A．escape in itB．get to the other side of the island
C．use it for foodD．go around the island
小題2: To survive, the writer did the following EXCEPT _____________.
A．keeping goats for milkB．making clothes from animal skins
C．working in the cornfieldsD．going fishing in the sea
小題3:Why didn’t the writer use his first canoe?
A．Because it was too small for a long journey.
B．Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.
C．Because there was something wrong with it.
D．Because the writer was busy building a second house.
小題4:From the story, we can learn that _____________.
A．the writer tried to make his stay comfortable on the island
B．the writer had nothing to do on the wild island
C．the writer tried to escape in the second canoe, but failed
D．the writer was in prison on the island, losing his freedom

JLetter 1
Whatever I do, I always think about if other people will like it. How can I stop worrying about what they think?                                                         —Eva, 14, Illinois
JLetter 2
My dream is to be on the Olympic team for gymnastics. My dad thinks I started too late and I’ll never be able to make it. He puts me down, but I want his support. What should I do?                                                    —Erica, 9, Texas
JLetter 3
What should I do if I failed a test? I’m afraid to tell my mom because she might get mad at me and I can’t play soccer. And soccer is like the world to me.
—Ashley, 12, Wisconsin
JLetter 4
I just moved and I’m kind of shy, so how do I make new friends?
—Jessica, 11, Canada
Dr. Molly’s Answer ①
You should tell him about your dream and that if you work really hard, it might happen even though you started late. The sooner you tell your dad how you feel, the sooner you’ll be able to work on making your dream come true.
Dr. Molly’s Answer ②
Nobody knows you at your new school. You have nothing to lose, so gather up all your courage and go over to someone who looks friendly and introduce yourself. You can ask that person about your teacher or the other kids in your class to break the ice. Good luck!
Dr. Molly’s Answer ③
It’s better to tell your mom the truth than for her to find out another way. When you tell her, explain why you failed the test. Ask her if she can help you study in the future, so you’ll do better on your tests and also have time for the soccer you love.
Dr. Molly’s Answer ④
Just be yourself and try not to care about what others think. The more you think about it, the worse you will feel. Always act strong and confident. Even if you are a little unsure of something, don’t doubt (懷疑) your abilities to do things right. Just relax.

Many people have a fear(害怕) of public speaking. According to a study, it has an influence on 3 in every 4 people. This fact is surprising and worrying, as most jobs require some speaking ability. The following will help you to make a speech better.
Write note cards. Write main ideas on your cards. Don’t write details. Put in some fun facts, questions, and other activities on the cards to share with the class. Don’t look at your note cards for a long time while speaking. If necessary, you’re only going to want to have a quick look at the card for information, not read every last word.
Smile at your class. When it comes time to speak, there’s nothing that draws your class into your speech than a good old-fashioned smile. Be happy, because you’re about to teach your class something they didn’t know before. Studies have shown that smiles are infections. That means once you smile, it’s hard for everyone else not to smile. So if you want your speech to go off well, smile. That’ll make everyone smile and maybe those smiles will make you actually smile.
Make eye contact. Nothing is more boring than listening to a speaker who looks at the floor or at note cards. Relax. Your class is made up of your friends and you talk to them all the time. Talk the same way now. have a look at every person in the classroom at least once. That way, everyone will feel like you’re communicating with them. Also, you’ll look like you know what you’re talking about.
Use hand motions. Move your hands along as you talk, using them to express your key points and keep the class interested. It will also lead your nervous energy into a better place.
小題1:According to the passage, ______ of people might fear to speak in public.
A．100 percentB．75 percent
C．50 percentD．25 percent
小題2:In Paragraph 3 of the passage “smiles are infection” means ______.
A．smiles can be passed onB．it’s hard to smile
