四、配对阅读。

On the first day of my sixth grade, I saw one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “Don’t talk to her,” said Lauren, who sat beside me, “or they will make fun of you.”

Amy had many physical differences—lots of reasons for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were too big. And she had really ugly teeth.

Every day as we drove to and from school, kids would insult Amy, “God, what a strange face! Stop looking at me!”

I had to be in silence. After all, I didn’t want them to treat me in the same way.

But while I was insulting her, my heart ached for the girl. I could see that she was so ashamed (感到羞耻的) and alone. Then I wanted to stand up for her. I just didn’t know how to stop my

schoolmates until the night of our class skating party.【i,used,to,be,afraid,of,the,dark】

Our whole class was there. Amy was there, too. Amy didn’t know how to skate, but I could see how much she wanted to have fun like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. She just smiled, and was very excited.

The next morning there was much news about Amy and me skating together. But nobody laughed at her or me. And they didn’t for the rest of the year. I never heard from Amy again after the school year. But I’ve always hoped that I changed her life for the better.

1. What grade was the writer in when he first met Amy?

A. Grade 1. B. Grade 2. C. Grade 5. D. Grade 6.

2. What did Amy look like?

A. She was beautiful. B. She was ugly. C. She was fat. D. She was serious.

3. The underlined word “insult” has the similar meaning to “ ”.

A. laugh at B. look after C. wake up D. talk with

4. What did he do on their class skating party? A. He taught Amy to skate. B. He introduced Amy to others.

C. He drove Amy out of the party. D. He said sorry to Amy.

5. What happened after the party?

A. Kids began to talk with Amy. B. Amy left the school.

C. Kids no longer laughed at Amy. D. Amy’s life changed for the worse.

An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, “I’m afraid it’ll have to be someplace cheap, as I have very little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s.” This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s,” or “I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They’re great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would be very nice.”

American customs (风俗) about who pays for dates (约会) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a

university girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means“Come, as my guest (客人).” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.

6. The passage tells us_________________

A. how to eat out B. where to eat out C. what to eat out D. who pays for the meal

9. Sometimes your friend takes you to lunch. It means .

A. he’s going to lend some money to you B. he’s going to pay for your meal, too

C. he’ll be angry with you D. he can’t understand you

10. In America, some girls and women now.

❋ A ❋

According to research, an average (普通的) American kid watches TV for about 3 to 4 hours a day. That means he or she spends more than one and a half months a year in front of the TV. But some American kids are just saying “No” to TV.

Take Meghan Kelley from Pembroke, Massachusetts for example. She used to spend a lot of her free time in front of the TV. But several years ago, Meghan gave up her TV habits. Her days of watching TV ended when she and her classmates took part in Screen-Free Week. Screen-Free Week is on the first week of May every year. It is an event where children, families and schools are encouraged to turn off their TVs, computers, DVD players, iPads and so on and “turn on life” — read, enjoy nature, and spend time with family and friends.

After the first week, Meghan decided to test herself further (进一步). “I wanted to see how long I could go without TV,” said Meghan. “Could I do it for a year?” The answer was yes!

Although sometimes she misses TV, Meghan finds life without TV more

interesting. She joined two soccer clubs and now plays basketball. Because Meghan is studying more, she‟s also getting much better grades.

根据材料内容判断正（T）误（F）。

( )46. An average American kid watches TV for more than 20 hours a week.

( )48. Screen-Free Week helped Meghan Kelley give up her TV habits.

( )49. Meghan Kelley found it hard to live without TV at first.

( )50. Meghan Kelley has never missed TV since she gave up her TV habits.
