    On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Slide cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.

    ＂Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?＂ the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. ＂I’m from Mississippi too.＂

    Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.

    ＂They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,＂ Welty said. ＂I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.＂

    Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion(团聚).

    ＂My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’＂ Welty added. ＂And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’＂

    Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.

    ＂I don’t make them up,＂ she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. ＂I don’t have to.＂

    Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.

    1.What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?

    A. Two strangers joined her．

    B. Her childhood friends came in

    C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner．

    D. Some people held a party there.

    2.The underlined word ＂them＂ in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s _______.

    A. readers B. parties

    C. friends D. stories

    3. What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?

    A. They live in big cities.

    B. They are mostly women.

    C. They come from real life.

    D. They are pleasure seekers.

    阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

    I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.

    My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.

    I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.

    Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced

    reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate.

    Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.

    1.What made the author’s school days difficult? (No more than 5 words)

    2.Why did art give the author confidence? (No more than 10 words)

    3.What lesson did the author learn from rock climbing? (No more than 15 words)

    4.What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 4? (No more than 5 words)

    5.How does the author’s story inspire you to overcome difficulties in life? Put it in your own words. (No more than 20 words)
