    I’m Evan Ducker. I’m just like every other 15-year-old boy, except I was born with a red birthmark(胎记).

    Some birthmarks are signs of serious medical conditions. I’m very fortunate—mine isn’t. I pretty much live a regular life, except for people asking me about it all the time, which can get annoying(恼人的) sometimes.

    When I was about 4 years old, I asked my mom why there weren’t any characters with birthmarks in the books she would read to me. When we went to the library, we realized there weren’t any available for little kids. Worse than that, the books available to older kids and adults described characters with birthmarks as unattractive. So I decided to write my own.

    I based the story on all the real things that happened in my life. But instead of people, the characters in the book are real animals from the Galapagos Islands, including red-footed booby birds (鲣鸟). I picked a booby bird as the main character because the birds have red feet due to a vascular (血管的) condition, similar to a human birthmark!

    It was really tough to get my book published. It took a long time because a lot of publishers refused to publish it. They would say there wasn’t a big enough market for a book about birthmarks.

    But my mom never gave up trying to help make my dream come true. And in 2005, she finally took her own money and self-published “Buddy Booby’s Birthmark”. After it was published, I got letters from readers all over the world. They all shared their stories and thanked me for sharing mine. Teachers wrote to tell me that my book changed the way classmates treated each other and that my book was helping kids to accept and appreciate their differences.

    Then, as more teachers started reading my book, I created a free global reading event, the “International Buddy Booby’s Birthmark Read—Along for Tolerance and Awareness.”

    1.The author’s birthmark seems to ________.

    A. be easy to remove

    B. annoy him all the time

    C. cause serious health problems

    D. bring him some trouble

    2.What the author found in the library made him ________.

    A. regretful B. disappointed C. stressed D. bored

    3.What did the publishers think of the author’s book?

    A. It wouldn’t sell well.

    B. It was rather uninteresting.

    C. It was poorly written.

    D. It wasn’t fit for kids to read.

    4.The author’s book “Buddy Booby’s Birthmark” ________.

    A. was a best-seller in 2005

    B. was the first book about birthmarks

    C. made a difference to its readers

    D. helped kids fall in love with reading

    I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the morning if you want to.

    I know lots of women who don’t have breakfast, and they have many different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories (卡路里), still others just don’t like breakfast food.

    But eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all.

    Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers found that those who don’t have breakfast have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.

    So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it...you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.

    1.The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

    A. pizza topped with fruit

    B. things left undone

    C. food remaining after a meal

    D. meals made of vegetables

    2.According to the last paragraph, it is important to ________.

    A. be careful about what you eat

    B. eat something for breakfast

    C. heat up food before eating it

    D. eat calorie-controlled food

    3.What can we infer from the text?

    A. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.

    B. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.

    C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.

    D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.

    4.The text is written mainly for those ________.

    A. who go to work early

    B. who go to bed late

    C. who eat before sleep

    D. who want to lose weight

    5.What does the author advise the readers to do?

    A. Better eat up all the food at dinner in the night.

    B. Better eat less in the night.

    C. Better eat leftovers in the morning.

    D. Better get up late and eat nothing in the morning in order to burn more calories.

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 (A．B．C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    A

    One morning, my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen as he just finished loading his car. “I guess filling my thermos(保温瓶) is all that I have left to do, and then I’m off.” Down the drain(下水道) went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.

    With a nostalgic(怀旧的) look on his face, he softly said: “Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom.” The tone in his voice was so tender(温柔的) as he spoke of my mother, who is sadly no longer with us.

    “Oh honey, I know she’s watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face,” I responded, tears in my eyes.

    One morning years ago when we were leaving, mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos. Mom then casually said, ‘Jerry, if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while, your coffee would stay hot for longer then.” With her simple suggestion, his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense. Well, of course it would!

    He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water. Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee. Mom smiled as Jerry did so.

    Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact(影响) that will never be forgotten. She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.

    The lasting memories don’t necessarily come from major moments in life. Memories are often made during those small, ordinary times. Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones.

    1.Which word best describes the author’s feeling in Paragraph 3?

    A. Concerned B. Confused

    C. Interested D. Touched

    2.The underlined part “don’t necessarily” is similar in meaning to ________.

    A. out of the question

    B. possibly but uncertainly

    C. certainly and absolutely

    D. without any doubt

    3.The message that the story intends to convey（传达） is ______.

    A. that lasting memories come from small things

    B. how valuable a mother’s advice is to her children.

    C. what a wise woman the mother is to her son-in-law

    D. why we should respect our parents and listen to them.

    Sudha Chandran, a classical dancer from India, had to have her right leg cut after a car accident.She was also cut off on her bright career road.

    However, she didn’t stop struggling. In the painful three months that followed, Sudha met a doctor who had an operation on her leg. So strongly she wanted to go back to dancing after she had been fitted with a man-made leg. Sudha knew that she believed in herself and could realize her dream,so she began her brave journey back to the world of dancing — learning to balance, bend, stretch,walk, and turn.

    After every public recital (个人表演), she might ask her dad about her performance. “You stillhave a long way to go” was the answer she used to get in return. In January 1984, Sudha gained popularity again by giving a public recital in Bombay. She performed in such a great manner that it moved everyone to tears and this performance pushed her to the number one position again. That evening when she asked her dad the same question, he didn’t say anything. He just touched her feet as a praise.

    Sudha’s comeback was so touching that a film producer decided to make the story into a film,which has moved more and more people.

    When someone asked Sudha how she had managed to dance again, she said quite simply, “YOU DON’T NEED FEET TO DANCE.” Nothing is impossible in this world. If you have the will to win,you can achieve anything.

    A. She lost her job because of her leg.

    2.What happened to Sudha after she met the doctor?

    A. Her right leg was cut off.

    B. She gave up dancing soon afterwards.
