    As her son Cameron sits at his laptop completing a task for his math degree course, Alison Thompson，a full-time mum，is busy helping her daughter Emma (two years younger than Cameron) get dressed. While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. “People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him.” says Alison.

    It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron’s ability didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers (负数). He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades.

    Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted. She is the one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat. She also helps him out in social situations.

    Emma attends a specialist school and the family is quick to celebrate her successes too.

    “The other day she did up the buttons on her coat, which was real progress,” Alison says.

    Late last year the Thompsons took part in a television documentary (纪录片) to prove that not all gifted children are the result of extremely ambitious parents. Gifted children need support too, but their lives don’t have to be that different. Cameron is an example.

    1.What does Paragraph 1 indicate?

    A. Cameron helps Emma with her math tasks.

    B. Teachers at school ignored Emma’s problems.

    C. Both Cameron and Emma need parental support.

    D. The couple often have fights because of Cameron.

    2.What does the underlined phrase “having sailed through his GCSE” probably mean?

    A. Having passed his GCSE easily. B. Having taken his GCSE seriously.

    C. Having worked hard at his GCSE. D. Having suffered a lot from his GCSE

    3.There are at least people in Mrs. Thompson’s family.

    A. three B. four

    C. five D. six

    4.What can be known from the passage?

    A. Emma has learned to take good care of herself.

    B. Cameron showed his gift before primary school.

    C. The children of the family are bright and gifted.

    D. Gifted kids are not so different as people expect.

    As the saying goes, chance favored the prepared mind. I learned this from one of my experience.

    I was not chosen as member of the volleyball team of our school. Because of this, I decided to give up play volleyball. Luckily, my best friend stopped me but pointed out that it was my laziness and poor preparation which led to my failure. After that, I practiced playing volleyball on every day. When another tryout arrived, I was full prepared and tried my best. As a result, I was selected and became an important player on our school team.

    From this, I am firmly convincing that we are able to seize a chance as long as I get well prepared.

    When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

    He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

    I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.

    I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

    Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

    1.What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?

    A. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.

    B. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.

    C. He was angry and told her to overcome her shortcomings.

    D. He told her to write down all and pay attention only to the things that were true.

    2.What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?

    A. Week by week she discovered and pointed out more shortcomings of mine.

    B. She kept on adding new ones to the list so it was growing longer and longer.

    C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.

    D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.

    3.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?

    A. My Father

    B. My Childhood

    C. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had

    D. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
