People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive recklessly（不顾一切地） up and down America’s main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.
I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral. I didn’t expect the event to affect me. Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved.
The teenage grandson stepped forward. With his very first deep breath, every heart in that church was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten. Softly he began: “I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would truely attract her, what would Nana say? ‘oh, what beautiful barking that dog has!’ That was Nana. ”
“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for my grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling, “That was Nana’s way.”
Through a low sob, he continued, “Whenever she did anything worth recognition, you’d have to hear about it from a different source, because she was never one to show off.”
Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”
There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled.
When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest and dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide in the calm ceremony . He exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the patience of many adults. He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of life and death.
All over again we felt those powerful losses crossing our own hearts, and we knew that when you say good-bye to something happy, something young in yourself. And that something never really returns, and the pain never really goes away.
In the first paragraph, the writer gave some examples to_____.
A. support his idea that young people are no good.
B. introduce his point of view about young people.
C. tell people every coin has its two sides.
D. young people often make mistakes.
From the boy’s speech, we know _____.
A. his grandmother had great influence on him.
B. they had a dog which often attacked people
C. people had forgotten her until the boy appeared..
D. his grandmother was so weak that she is always living in the shadow of his grandpa
Which of the following statements is true?
A. The boy ‘s speech moved no one present at the funeral except the writer.
B. The boy’s being good at expressing himself enabled him to draw everyone’s attention.
C. The boy was too grieved to accept the fact that his grandmother had passed away.
D. The writer didn’t expect the event would affect him.
What words can best describe grandmother’s quality?
A. weak, mild and modest.
B.. easygoing, cautious and considerate
C. sensitive and hard on others.
D, patient, optimistic, strong and helpful.
The passage tells the readers____.
A. facing certain bitter facts help young people to grow.
B. young people have to control themselves
C. the adults should learn from the young.
D. the adults should teach the young how to be brave

My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values（价值观念） that helped me grow into an adult.
Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who asked me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to admit to her. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball.
I also learned from Steve that personal property（财产） is a sacred（神圣的） thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father made with a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. David, and still remembered the smell of her perfume (香水) as she patted me on the shoulder.
Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most unforgetful in my mind. When I was twelve I killed an old brown sparrow(麻雀)in the yard with a BB gun. Excited, I screamed at Steve to come and take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is when it hurts you first, and then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A．The relationship between Mark and Steve.
B．The important lessons Mark learned in school.
C．Steve’s important role in Mark’s growth stage.
D．Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.
2.When Mark admitted his mistakes to Mrs. Holt, he ____.
A．was surprised B．felt frightened
C．was light-hearted D．cried before her
3.From the third paragraph, we can know that Mark _____.
A．had a shiny silver pen B．respected his teacher
C．hated his father very much D．once owned a small wooden dog
4.To Mark, which is the most important lesson Steve taught him?
A．Respecting life. B．Being responsible for one’s behavior.

After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings.
