Robby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer students begin at an earlier age. Robby insisted that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano, so I took him in as a student.
Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions (指导). But he just did not have any inborn ability.
I only saw his mother from a distance. She always waved and smiled but never came in. Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.
I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career. However, several weeks before the recital (演奏会) of my students, Robby came，telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part. I agreed but I made him perform last in the program, so I could always save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”.
I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s. Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age. When he finished, everyone was cheering.
I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy. “I’ve never heard you play like that, Robby! How’d you do it?”
“Well, Miss Hondorf. Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she died this morning. She was born deaf so tonight was the first time she could hear me play. I wanted to make it special. I knew I could.” That night, Robby was the teacher and I was the student. He taught me so many important things about life.

Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don't know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”
He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
【小题1】This text is most probably written by ______. | A．a doctor for mental health problems | | B．a headmaster of a middle school | | C．a parent with teenage children | | D．a specialist in teenager studies |
【小题2】The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______. | A．the advice that parents want their children to follow | | B．the change from good to bad that’s seen in a child | | C．the opinion that a child has of his parents | | D．the way that parents often blame themselves |
【小题3】From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______. | A．pay no attention to them | | B．feel helpless to do much about them | | C．have come to hate them | | D．are too busy to look after them |
【小题4】What is the author's opinion about the sudden change in teenage children? | A．Parents should work more closely with school teachers. | | B．Parents should pay still sore attention to the change. | | C．Parents have no choice but to try to accept it. | | D．Parents are at fault for the change in their children. |

For many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. However, Senior 1 student Li Qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. He is disabled and unable to take care of himself.
The 16-year-old country girl in Zhucheng, Shandong Province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. Li lost her mother at three. Four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. At 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. Since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family.
Li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move.
"I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning," she recalled.
During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time.

Li admitted that the difficulties in life had taught her to be strong.
"I believe I will go on and continue my studies at a good university," she said, in a confident tone.
Her teacher Mr. Wang has the same belief. Li made great progress in the recent monthly exams. "She works hard and is always eager to excel . It's not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work," Wang said.

Drunken driving –sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic (流行病). Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years. A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20 years old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a 9-year-old boy.
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
【小题1】 From paragraph one, we can know that ____________. | A．most Americans like drinking | | B．heavy drinking is hard to avoid | | C．many Americans are killed by drunk drivers | | D．Americans are not shocked by traffic accidents |
【小题2】What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey? | A．The legal drinking age should be raised. | | B．Young drivers were usually bad. | | C．Most drivers hoped to raise the legal drinking age. | | D．Drivers should not be allowed to drink. |
【小题3】The underlined word “ lenient” in the first paragraph means “_________”. | A．serious | B．cruel | C．merciful | D．determined |
【小题4】In America, public opinion about drunken driving has changed because __________. | A．judges are no longer lenient | | B．new laws are introduced in some states | | C．the problem has attracted public attention | | D．drivers do not appreciate their manly image |
【小题5】Which of the following best shows the writer’s opinion of drunken driving? | A．It may lead to organized crime. | | B．It is difficult to solve this problem. | | C．The new laws can stop heavy drinking. | | D．There should be no bars to serve drinks. |

On April 24th, another natural disaster—the oil spill(泄露) in the Gulf of Mexico, happened. Millions of dollars have been used to help stop the spill and to clean up the animals, beaches, and land spoiled by the oil．Unfortunately, when many of these chemicals are used, more damage is caused to the environment, especially to lives in the sea．
But governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage．Interestingly, the biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run.
Of all of today’s environmental disasters, an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious．Although oil is poisonous, it is a natural material．In the end, it breaks down naturally．In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tones of oil into the ocean．If you go there today, you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened．
However, we should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil．Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies, such as cars run by solar power（太阳能）, electricity, hydrogen, and so on．Much of this research, in the past, was stopped by the oil, gas, and coal．
If the world’s millions of cars were 10% more efficient（高效的）,we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year．If this happened, the risks of oil spills would be reduced, and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher, too．
【小题1】What is the passage mainly talking about? | A．Oil spills pollution． | B．What oil pollution is． | | C．Oil tanker accidents. | D．How to reduce oil pollution. |
【小题2】How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe? | A．By giving a description． | B．By making an argument． | | C．By giving an example． | D．By drawing a diagram(图表)． |
【小题3】What does the underlined word "risk" in Paragraph 2 refer to? | A．Transportation depending more on oil． | | B．Poisonous oil breaking down naturally． | | C．Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea． | | D．More environmental damage being caused． |
【小题4】Which suggestion is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage? | A．We should build safer tankers in the near future． | | B．We should develop new technologies to cut oil use． | | C．Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines． | | D．Countries should build more oil pipelines under the sea． |
【小题5】Where can you read this article? | A．In a story book． | | B．In a science magazine． | | C．In a novel. | | D．In a brochure． |
