AA few weeks ago, I called an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for the holidays．As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations（语调） of the driver’s accent washed over me in a familiar way．I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family． I could relate: I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success． I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents．That’s how he found out I go to Harvard． An approving eye glinted at me in the rearview window, and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver． I became his daughter, all grown up ﹣ the product of his sacrifice．And then came the fateful question: “What do you study? ” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might． I didn’t even get to add “and African﹣American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history? ”Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life． He went on to deliver the age﹣old lecture that all immigrantkids know． We are to become doctors （or lawyers, if our parents are being generous）﹣ to make money and send money back home． The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative（故事） of upward mobility so your children can do the same．I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I’m grateful for their support more than anything． This holiday season, I’ve promised myself I won’t huff and get annoyed at their inquiries． I won’t defensively respond with “but I plan to go to law school!” when I get unrequested advice． I’ll just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion．1. What disappointed the driver？________A.The author’s attitude towards him．B.The school that the author is attending．C.The author’s majors in history and literature．D.The author’s interests in African American studies．2. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “squandering”in Paragraph 4？________A.wasting．B.creating．C.valuing．D.seizing．3. Why are immigrant kids expected to be doctors or lawyers？________A.Their parents want them to move upward in society．B.Their parents are high achieving as well．C.They have more opportunities．D.They are very smart in general．4. How did the author react to the driver’s questioning？________A.Getting upset．B.Feeling satisfied．C.Defending herself．D.Appreciating his concern．BIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain． People had been writing novels for a century-most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719- but nobody wanted to do it professionally． The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字）rate in England was under 50%． Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady．” Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad．In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters-from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim were held up as moral touchstones． Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged． Removing him from the pantheon （名人堂）of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa．How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass． Some 60, 000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them． It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life． It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress．But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself al the center． No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer． But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible-and important for our own culture-to understand how he made himself a lastingone．5. Which of the following best deseribes British novels in the 18th century？________A.They were difficult to understand．B.They were popular among the rich．C.They were seen as nearly worthless．D.They were written mostly by women．6. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress．________A.his reputation in France．B.his interest in modern art．C.his success in publication．D.his importance in literature．7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？________A.To remember a great writer．B.To introduce an English novel．C.To encourage studies on culture．D.To promote values of the Victorian age．CThere are many useful suggestions that can help one to improve English. Here are some of them to increase one’s English language vocabulary.Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. It is based on understanding important words and expressions.Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Researches show that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions（重复）to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context（上下文）, the more words one is shown, the better vocabulary one will have. Keep a piece of paper close to you. Whenyou read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to understand its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a dictionary.Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember: “In the beginning was the word.” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.8. We can learn from the passage that learning English vocabulary _________.A.is just about learning the right wordsB.is about remembering more and more wordsC.doesn’t require one to learn expressionsD.requires one to understand important expressions9. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.To master a word, you need to repeat it 10-20 times.B.If you remember a word, you are still able to forget it if you don’t use it.C.It doesn’t take long to build one’s vocabulary.D.Practice is very important in fluent spoken English.10. The best way to learn new words is _________.A.trying to use them while speaking and writingB.writing them down over and over againC.always looking them up in the dictionaryD.reading them loudly over and over again11. What is the passage mainly about?A.How to enrich your English vocabulary.B.How to have a good conversation in English .C.Why context is important in learning English.D.How to improve the quality of communication.DA month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train． Yet, I was determined to go ahead．I remember back to my 7th year in school． In my first P．E． class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball． I didn’t do either well． He later informed me that I was“not athletic”．The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years． When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic． It was all about the battle against my own body and mind． A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line． I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself．Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces （鞋带）became untied． So I stopped to readjust． Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: “ GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly． Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again．By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign． She is my biggest fan． She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a．m． orquestioned my expenses on running．I was one of the final runners to finish． But I finished!
