One afternoon, when school ended, I remained in my ____ , waiting for my mother. Miss Pratt sat at her desk with other teachers and talked. I looked at the clock and ____ it was time for me to get ready to leave, I put on my coat and hat. One of the teachers looked at my ____ and said with a surprise,“who is that girl? She is really pretty in her clothes.“Miss Pratt’s answer was,“I agree, Mary is pretty”

Pretty! The word surprised me. Teachers would not _____. Maybe it was true that I looked pretty.

文章主要通过自己的故事，介绍了夸奖和自信的力量。

【1】句意：因为有些孩子嘲笑我，叫我“伤疤脸”，我几乎没有信心。

looked for寻找；laughed at嘲笑；played with和..玩；cared about在乎。根据Because some children ___1___ me and called me“scarface”，后面管我叫伤疤脸，应该是嘲笑我，故选B。

【2】句意：虽然我父母告诉我我很漂亮，但我并不这么看自己

pretty漂亮的；smart聪明的；brave勇敢的；polite礼貌的；根据“Although my parents told me that I was”以及“I did not see myself that way.”结合前而管我叫伤疤脸，可知应该是告诉我是漂亮的。故选A。

【3】句意：一天下午，放学后，我呆在教室里等我妈妈。

house房子；office办公室；classroom教室；grades年级；根据 “when school ended,当放学时”与后文“Miss Pratt sat at her desk with other teachers and talked.”可知应该是在教室里等妈妈。故选C。

【4】句意：我看了看表，意识到我该准备离开了

heard听到；realized意识到；hoped希望：suggested建议；根据“I looked at the clock and（4）it was time for me to get ready to leave”，可知是我看表，并说到了准备离开的时候了，应该是“意识到”我准备走的时间了，故选B。

【5】句意：一位老师看着我的脸，惊讶地说：“那个女孩是谁？

hair头发；back后面；head头；face脸。根据“said with a surprise”以及“who is that girl? She is really pretty in her clothes.”，结合前文说我脸上有伤疤，可知应该是看着我的脸，惊奇地说。故选D。

【6】句意：老师不会撒谎。

lie说谎；agree同意；listen听；help帮助。根据上文 “Mary is pretty”夸作者很漂亮，这里应该是老师不会说谎。故选A。

【7】句意：在那一刻，我决心成为班上第一个背下乘法口决的孩子。

last最后的；first第一的；second第二的；third第三的；根据下文“Miss Pratt said to the class that I was the first one to learn the tables ”可知作者是第一个背下乘法口诀表的人，所以这儿是我决心做第一个。故选B。

【8】句意：这次我相信我自己。

lost丢失；asked问；enjoyed喜欢；trusted相信。根据上句说第一个背下乘法口诀表的人，可知这里“This time I __8__myself”，应该是相信自己。故选D。

【9】句意：大约一周以后，普拉特老师对全班同学说我是第一个背下乘法口决的人，并对我们说她以我为自豪。

proud of自豪；interested in感兴趣；angry with生…的气；sad for伤心。根据上文“I was the first one to learn the tables”是第一个背下乘法口诀表的人，肯定是老师为自己而感到自豪。故选A。

【10】句意：我知道普拉特老师的话鼓舞了我。
