One day in the eighth grade, I was taking a Math Test on basic trigonometry (三角学). Now for a middle school student, there was nothing basic at all about it. So I had studied for about two hours the night before. After reviewing it for some time, I had started to understand it, so then I closed the book and _________. However, it was not until midnight that I fell asleep. The next day, when I got the test, it might as well have been written in Serbian (which I don’t know how to read). I tried my best to work out the hard problems, but the numbers I came up with were strange. I sat back on my chair and looked for any possible answers, but I could not remember anything or think correctly. I started thinking about my dad coming home from work to find that I failed the test …
“How could you have failed the test? I am certain that nobody else in the whole class got as bad a grade as you did!”
Naturally I didn’t want that to happen. My dad was also really busy at work at present, so I was afraid that this might make him mad. When feeling hopeless, I noticed that my table partner was writing fast on his test. I could see smoke rising up from how fast he was writing. I was attracted to look over at his test, but then the many bad results I had heard about cheating (作弊) came into my mind. I reasoned that if I started cheating now, it would be hard to give up that habit during high school. In the end, I decided not to copy his answers, and got a B- on that test. Even though my dad gave me a hard time about it, it would have been a lot worse if he found out that I had given in and cheated.
【小题1】The writer might feel ______ before the Math Test.

A.surprisedB.relaxed
C.worriedD.excited
【小题2】 Which is the best expression to fill in the blank (空白处) in the passage?
A.had breakfastB.went to bed
C.took exerciseD.rode to school

C.strict with himD.pleased with him

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write but they still have to remember things. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory has been exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.
【小题1】 Someone can't have a good memory if __________.

A.he can't read or write 
B.he doesn't use his memory 
C.his parents haven't a good memory 
D.he doesn't use his arms or legs for some time 
【小题2】 If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, _________.
A.you can't use them any more 
B.they will become stronger 
C.they become weak but they slowly become strong again 
D.they become weak and won't become strong until you use them again 
【小题3】 Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Your memory works in different way as your arms or legs. 
B.Your memory becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice. 
C.Don't learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory. 
D.A good memory comes from one’s parents. 
【小题4】 Few people know that it is ________ if a friend has a poor memory.
A.his own fault B.his parents' fault 
C.his teachers' fault D.nobody's fault 
【小题5】 In the passage, the writer wants to tell us to practice _________.
A.using our arms or legs very often 
B.reading and writing as much as we can

If the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said to be a special fruit. It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country.
One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”.
Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America.
An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice.
In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples.
Finally, when it’s time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.

【小题1】 What does the underlined phrase “apple polisher” mean?

A.Something for cutting apples.
B.A person who likes to please others.
C.A person who is dealing with fruits.
D.A machine for cleaning apples quickly.
【小题2】 “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb about ____________.
A.cooking B.medicine
C.shopping D.health
【小题3】 Which of the following is TRUE with apples?
A.Apples are medicine.
B.Apples are the most important food.
C.New York is famous for its big apples.
D.The Bible says Adam was given an apple.
【小题4】 The passage is mainly about___________.
A.stories about the apple
B.apples in American culture
C.some famous sayings of the apple
D.big cities that is famous for apples
