  Mom noticed that something was wrong when I started getting so thirsty, I’d have a lot to drink before bed, which was unusual for me.One time, I opened a big container of apple juice and kept refilling my glass.Before I knew it, I’d drunk the entire container! My mom call my doctor.I then had a few blood tests, and the results were certain-I had diabetes, which meant that the amount of sugar in my blood was very high.That can be dangerous, so I had to learn how to control my blood-sugar level.

  My eating habits had to change in a big way.With diabetes, I can’t eat a lot of sugar or carbohydrates.I have to figure out exactly how much sugar I plan to eat, and then I get an injection of insulin before the meals to help my body process the food.Also, I test my blood-sugar level often.I’m always trying to keep my blood sugar at a healthy level.The level can drop when I exercise, but that doesn’t keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court-I just keep some juice boxes around to boost my blood sugar if I need to.

  It’s a lot of work-and not a lot of fun-to keep track of everything, but I’ve gotten used to my new habits.I was a little scared at first because I wasn’t sure how my life would change.Once I knew what I needed to do, though, it wasn’t a big deal.My life is different now from what it was before, but it has become completely regular to me.

She wanted to switch the oven off at 7: 30 but she was practicing the cello, and it wasn't until 8 o'clock that she suddenly realized: she had forgotten her TV dinner ! She rushed into the kitchen, but it was too late- everything was black.

On Wednesday she took Foxy for a walk in the park and lost him. She looked for him everywhere, but he had disappeared. The stupid dog came back later, but that was after Mrs Rosenbaum had telephoned nearly everybody in the neighborhood.

  

    Thursday went all right until the evening. Sarah put the dirty things in the dish-washer and switched it on, but when she emptied it later, two of the glasses she had put in were broken. Her mom wasn't very pleased because she always washed the good glasses by hand.

  

    Now it was Friday, and Sarah wanted to go the hamburger drive-in with Nacy, Bob and Mike that evening. But she had already spent her pocket money.

  Burn rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money.My rate was $75,000 a month.Four months after my company was set up, I had only a quarter of the starting capital left in the bank.

  Looking for guidance, I went to talk to my friend, Arthur Walworth about my new venture.“Times of great change always bring out the risk-takers,” he said.“And they leave winners and losers.My grandfather invested a lot of money in a project of Thomas Edison' s that ended up in failure.”

  I was lost in thought at the notion(an idea or belief about something)of a Thomas Edison project ending in failure.Damn.It could happen to anybody!I must continue.

  At that time CD-ROM sales had bombed, so investors were fleeing from the field.I didn't turn away from mine entirely, but instead linked it to the internet.

  My plan was to offer consumers descriptions of home-design products by using a special software and let them modify the designs.Then we can enable them to get online professional and constructional help to have their houses built, decorated and furnished according to their own choice.

  To realize my plan I needed investors, so I continued to meet regularly with venture capitalists.One said I had a great idea.But I needed to test it.Get the money somewhere.To get this money from a venture capitalist is going to cost my wife and my children!He turned down my request.

  Wife?Children?I hardly remembered them.

  I was working nonstop-struggling to turn the key in the lock, to find the right way ahead.The pressure was terrible.It was just at this time that my parents and sisters stepped up.Two hundred thousand dollars.A lot of money to them, invested in this crazy son and brother without a moment's hesitation.Dad and Mom had driven out from Chicago and seen the passion in my little office and the trouble at home.

  With their help my company survived and has been prospering ever since.

阅读理解

  Remember those highly charged first days? They were full of real-life tests where there was always something new to learn, and not always from a book.One of my first lessons occurred on my first day of kindergarten, when I got on the wrong bus-as my older sister still likes to remind me.

  Life’s minor embarrassments do happen, and I know I can’t protect my own children from them.I just try to teach them to laugh at theirs like I do at mine.

  My daughter Erin started on the wrong foot in the 1st grade, at a new school where she knew no one.All the other 1st graders couldn’t resist opening and closing, closing and opening their new desks.Wouldn't you know Erin would neither open nor close? She came to find out she was sitting on the wrong side!

  Even getting around in a new school can be a challenge.Erin's older sister, Molly, almost missed her first lunch in junior high.The school secretary came to her rescue, arming her with the knowledge that while the gym and flex space were next door to each other, lunch was served only in the latter.

  The first day sometimes has pitfalls for Mom and Dad, too.Once, I managed to stockpile(储备)Molly and Erin's school supplies as they went on sale the previous year.I thought everything was ready for the first day-oh, yeah! My victory dance was short-lived, however.After day one my ladies rushed off the bus, both worried and confused, saying “Mom, we need wide-rule not college-rule paper, and three 2-inch notebooks instead of two 3-inch ones! And for standardized testing, standardized No.2 pencils only, please.”

  Perhaps my favorite first-day memory happened the first time my two daughters went to full-day public school together, when I was understandably emotional.Erin noticed my red eyes and white smile.“You are happy and sad, huh, Mommy?” Such a sensitive girl! She added, “Just like the time when you were crying and laughing after the car stopped running on the ice and we were OK.” Well, at least I could laugh!

(1)

What happened to Molly the first day she went to junior high school?

[  ]

A.

She couldn't find her new classroom.

B.

She didn't know how to use her new desk.

C.

She couldn’t find the place to have lunch.

D.

She didn’t get along with her classmates.

(2)

What does the underlined word “pitfalls” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

[  ]

A.

Unexpected problems.

B.

Great pleasures.

C.

Unnecessary worries.

D.

Painful experiences.

(3)

We can learn from the last paragraph that Erin _________.

[  ]

A.

had mixed feelings when leaving her home

B.

didn't want to go to full-day public school

C.

noticed her mother was sick that day

D.

understood how her mother felt then

(4)

What is the subject of the passage?

[  ]

A.

The relationship between Morn and child.

B.

The first day of a new school year.

C.

How to keep kids from making mistakes.

D.

Sweet memories at school.
