“Don’t worry! Lots of kids have moved here and made new friends,” my new teacher told me. “Oh, and don’t be concerned about your braces (矫正器). Almost everyone has them here.”

Even my new teacher thought I was a nerd (弱者), and he hadn’t even known me for five minutes. If my teacher thought that, I couldn’t imagine what the rest of class were going to think.

I wondered what kind of speech he gave them about me, “The new girl.” He probably made it sound like I was a nerd whose dad just died and everyone should be nice to me.

I wish I was back with my friends at my old school, where everyone knew me.

The bell rang, and the class poured in. Maybe if I didn’t move, they wouldn’t see me. Oh, well, it was a nice try. Everyone looked at me as if I were some kind of alien (外星人).

At that moment, a beautiful girl walked in and said with a sweet smile, “Hi, my name is Alicia.” “Um, I’m Annie,” I said.

When David came out of the shop, it was gone. He walked home in tears and then, together with his exasperated mother, went to the local police station. Imagine their joy when they arrived at the station: David’s bike was there. The driver told my daughter how he’d seen a group of kids go for the bike once my grandson had gone inside the shop. The driver, in his late teens, had called out to them to leave the bike alone. Despite this, one of the kids in the group had jumped on the bicycle and ridden it away while the others followed.

The teen got into his car, drove after them and demanded the stolen bike back.

42. Why did the writer write this passage?

This summer my family decided to take our vacation where the sun shines 24 hours a day! We went to Iceland. Although it sounds far away, it was actually only about 5 hours by plane from New York City. Day 1

Today we walked around the capital city of Iceland. Reykjavik is a European city filled with lots of history, shopping, and good restaurants. One famous place in Reykjavik is the big church in the city center. The famous film Die Another Day was shot here in 2002. Day 2

We took the bus to go through the beautiful National Park, and then we went to Golden Waterfall in the highlands and the geysers (间歇泉).

There were several active geysers that we were able to stand right near. The geysers threw up hot water every ten minutes and it was a sight to see. Hot water from the geysers is one of Iceland’s greatest treasures. Not only is it used to heat houses and produce electricity (电) but it is also wonderful to just sit in it.

We also went to see several waterfalls and were even able to walk behind one of the waterfalls. It is unusual to be able to touch a waterfall in nature. It was a very exciting day. Day 3

45. What is special about the geysers in Iceland?

46. We can learn from the passage that the writer . frustrating to have spent such a long time on a piano song and still be unable to play the piece well. To me, the piece had at first seemed very easy, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t play it correctly.

I decided to take a break, and come back to the piece later. For the most part, after a little bit of work, I could usually learn the song quickly. However, it was always that song, which might have appeared simple but was difficult. These types of songs always made me upset.

After having dinner, I decided to come back to the piano. I chose to play the piece slowly and carefully, paying attention to the correct notes instead of trying to play the piece quickly. Using this new method of practicing, I focused on how I could improve myself little by little.

I didn’t even get the rhythm (节奏) right until a week later. But I learned an important lesson — sometimes, baby steps are really important. I’m the person who likes to do things quickly. But in the case of the piano, I couldn’t move forward and improve until I slowed down, and took one step at a time. 47. The writer at first thought that playing Mozart’s piece .

Finding a job at 13 doesn’t sound a bit too difficult. In today’s world, everyone seems to be in such a hurry to reach the top and make more money.

example, they can take up babysitting. It can help them learn how important it is to take care of someone else. However, to do the job well, you have to be careful, know what to do in emergency (紧急) situations and learn how to deal with kids of different ages.

Delivering (传送) newspapers is also a good job, which will let you earn money and stay active. You can’t wake up late because you have to make sure that the people in your neighborhood get their newspapers on time.

It is quite a great thing to help senior citizens in their daily chores (家务杂事). So why not get paid for the same? You can help them when they go out to do shopping, buy medicine, feed their pets, water the plants, or help them visit their doctors or family members. Isn’t that a wonderful idea?
