I started to learn English from the first grade. That year I was six. In

class I learned basic phrases for greeting and describing objects. I don't

have much memory for the first year of English learning. The only thing

that I still remember is reading vocabulary list. A classmate of mine who

was good at English would lead the whole class to read the list. One of the

new words that I learned that year was “earth”.“The earth orbits the

sun，” he said in Chinese. Every time we came to the word “earth”，he

would repeat that sentence. I was secretly admiring him because he knew the earth orbits the sun.

My family moved when I was in my second grade, and I transferred (转学) to a private school. My English class continued. Luckily I could use the same series of text books.

I stayed in the same private school for my junior high school, which is from the 7th to the 9th grade. In junior high school, I hardly felt my English skill improved because the first English class here was still titled “Good Morning” and the content was still basic greetings.

Following was one year of high school life: a_different_school,_the_same_story.

Then my family moved again, and I began to really use English. We came to America. I attended a couple years of high school, and now I'm in college. I learn to write essays and start to read books in English. I can see my progress. However, I still have a lot of space to improve. In writing, the flow between sentences isn't good and I'm still using basic words. In speaking, maybe because I hang out with Chinese speaking friends too much, it takes me time to think when telling long stories.

语篇解读：作者讲述了她从六岁一直到大学学习英语的经历。

4．In Grade One, the author admired that classmate because he ________.

A．could speak two languages

B．had a very wide vocabulary

C．often led the whole class to read

D．knew about the earth and the sun

解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段的“I was secretly admiring him because he knew the earth orbits the sun.”可知，答案应选D项。

5．How did the author most probably feel during the first English class in junior high school?

A．Moved. B．Interested.

C．Disappointed. D．Relaxed.

解析：选C推理判断题。根据第三段的“In junior high school, I hardly felt my English

skill improved because the first English class here was still titled ‘Good Morning’and the

content was still basic greetings.”可推断，作者当时很失望。

6．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means in senior high school the author ________.

A．didn't live a very difficult life

B．liked her new school very much

C．learned English in a different way

D．had to learn simple English all over again

解析：选D句意理解题。根据第三段的内容可知，作者进入初中后英语又得从头学习，而画线句子的意思是：进入高中后还是这样。故选D项。

7．What do we learn about the author now?

A．She is looked down upon by others.
