It is obvious that all of our childhood memories are not accidental. When you are a child, every scent, every sound, every move, every toy, the first day of school, the first kiss, the first step… Everything together makes what is the personality of a man. All these are pieces of one whole entity.

I was about 6 years old. My mom's best friend left to another town and asked my mom to stay at her place with me for two days in order to look after her two sons. One was a little older than I was, and the second boy appeared to be super grown-up, for he was already fourteen. I always enjoyed staying at their place.

I remember the second day we were supposed to have the come-back party for my mom's friend at her place. I woke up. Mom went to work and reminded me to be nice and clean by the time she came back. I stayed with Tony, the older of the boys and suddenly somebody called him and though he was not permitted to leave me alone-he left. He said it would not be long. But it took him forever. I realized that I was alone. I could not come out of the house, so I opened the window. I was so desperate. So lonely. So betrayed. At that moment I pulled the curtain so strongly that I fell on the floor. And there I was standing-one little criminal-desperate to escape and knowing that I would be punished for destroying the curtain that was not even ours. But then something changed. I stopped weeping. I looked around and realized that I was in a safe place, and that mom would come back and kiss me no matter what I had done.

This was a moment of pure happiness, not the happiness of getting a new toy or a dog, or going to the party of your best friend. It was the moment of clarity for me-the first time in my life when I realized that I was happy to have my mom and that I was safe. My eyes saw the world in different shades that moment. And by the way-I was not punished for the curtain. I fell asleep on my mom's knees.

（1）What is the best title for this passage?

A. An Unforgettable Party B. A Childhood Memory C. A Happy Day in My Mom's Best Friend's Home D. The Rules You Should Follow （2）What best describes the author's feelings toward childhood memories?

A. Childhood memories are easy to forget. B. They make what is the personality of a man.

C. Good memories are always much easier for us to remember. D. Childhood memories are always strange and incomprehensible. （3）What happened to the author when he was 6 years old? A. His family moved to another apartment.

B. He always fought with mom's friend's children for toys. C. He was punished by his mom for destroying her friend's curtain. D. He was locked inside a house and failed to get out by the window. （4）In the last paragraph, the word \ A. the moment he received a present from his mom B. the time he spent in mom's friend's home C. the moment he realized his mom's love D. the time he destroyed the curtain 【答案】 （1）B （2）B （3）D （4）C

My First Day of School

enrolled(登记)in the local high school in my new town.

I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered. \His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn't have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn't actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn't use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.

It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, \ \

Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one, she said, \man.\

6．阅读理解

When I was a very little child, I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would talk to myself, \all over the world.\

At the age of 17, I began my career here in America, and by 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia (白血病)—her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to 2012 when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF). We're all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.

People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don't have to be rich to help others. You don't need to be famous. You don't even have to be college-educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say, \you've got a dollar, there's plenty to share.\

（1）What did the author want to do at a young age?

A. Watch TV. B. Grow up quickly. C. Become wealthy. D. Help other children. （2）Which of the following directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF? A. A six-year-old kid's request. B. Her grandmother's death of cancer. C. Many volunteers' inspiration for it. D. Other organizations' encouragement. （3）What does the underlined word \

A. A chance. B. A life. C. A task. D. An organization. （4）What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
