Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not 1.(real) prepared me for anything practical. I knew I felt like 2. (make) a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea 3. to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey 4. a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, 5.that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my 6.(decide) to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. 7. did my family.
Eventually, however, I 8.(win) the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among 9. candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call 10.(ask) me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.

In a movie, a woman reads a storybook to her friend’s daughter. As they approach the last page, she reads, “… and Cinderella and the prince lived happily ever after.” She closes the book and looks at the young girl, adding, “ You know, things don’t always happen like this in real life, I just think you should know that now.”
We were all raised on fairy tales with glass slippers, brave princes and magic! It didn’t take too long to realize that stories like that aren’t necessarily true. In real life, you learn that glass slippers are really uncomfortable, no prince is perfect and magic doesn’t always work.
So what do you do when the way you planned things is not the way they turned out?
Know that parts of your fairy tale have already been written, and sadly, there’s not much you can do about those first few chapters. You didn’t get the best start. Your trust was unexpectedly betrayed (背叛). You didn’t get the job. Whatever falls and failures happened in your past, there’s still more to the story.
Your life has a lot of contributors (投稿者), and you are the editor-in-chief. You take what’s there and create the masterpiece (杰作). All the good pages and the bad can come together to make a beautiful adventure.
When you find yourself wishing your life was more like the fairy tales, remember that in some ways it already is. There will be dragons, bad witches, great romances, winding roads and friends to help you along the way. Live your life carefully and positively as if you are writing a long story. Whether it’s a comedy, tragedy or a little of both, the pen is in your hand. How it ends is all up to you.
1.According to the first paragraph, we know the woman is __________.
A. wise B. cruel C. brave D. patient
2.Why does the author raise the question in Paragraph 3?
A. To compare different ideas
B. To express the doubts of life.
C. To introduce points for discussion.
D. To describe the conditions in real life
3.Which of the following may NOT often appear in fairy tales?
A. Glass slippers B. Winding roads
C. Sad endings D. Bad witches.
4.What is the message expressed in the passage?
A. Be positive about life
B. Write your own stories.
C. Parents should tell fairy tales to their kids
D. There are many problems in school education

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
I was a very luck girl. Many girls didn’t know they could participate or even be good at sports, but I never needed to be told that because I grew up with my grandmother who was a great Olympian. Even today, many girls need that extra nod in sports, but where can they get it?
Winners Never Quit by Mia Hamm This picture book has a great message about how important attitude is in sports. I especially love the main character who is a child. This makes little girls and boys find themselves in similarly frustrating situation. You will find yourself saying “Winners Never Quit” a lot reading this book. | Players in Pigtails by Shana Corey This book takes the story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and personalizes it for young readers. Many young girls who love sports more than princess will like the main character and hopefully understand her desire to do what she loves. |
Wilma Unlimited by Kathleen Krull It’s a true story of Wilma Rudolph, an African-American Olympian who, despite having polio(小儿麻痹) as a child, became the first American woman ever to win three gold medals at one Olympic Games. What did Wilma have in her corner? Not much more than great determination. This story is incredibly inspiring and the illustrations(插图) by David Diaz bring the amazing facts straight to your heart. | Basketball Belles by Sue Macy This book is set in 1896 and the attractive illustrations by Matt Collins take readers back to that time. The author takes you back into that gymnasium and makes you see not only how amazing that first game was for those devoted women who played in it, but also how important it was to all the women that have played basketball ever since. |
1.What do we know about Winners Never Quit?
A. Its story happened in ancient times.
B. It shows sport isn’t always easy for children.
C. It tells the story of a successful adult player.
D. It mainly attracts girls who desire to be successful.
2.The main character who may play basketball was written by ______.
A. Mia Hamm B. Shana Corey
C. Kathleen Krull D. Sue Macy
3.What do the four books have in common?
A. They are all picture books intended for teenagers.
B. They all contain knowledge about the Olympics.
C. They all inspire girls to participate in sports.
D. They are all about modern sports players.

Children’s lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?
It’s difficult to look back on one’s own childhood without some element of nostalgia(怀旧的). I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them, playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods. My parents scarcely appear in these memories, except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure.
These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed dramatically. Firstly, families are smaller. It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn’t time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, today’s boys and girls spend much of their time alone. Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside. This is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldn’t dream of letting their children play outside by themselves.
Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different. Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood. The irony(讽刺) is that so many ways of playing games are called “interactive”. The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today.
Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same.
1.What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph?
A. To get people’s attention and lead in the topic.
B. To gather people’s opinions on childhood.
C. To show who the passage is written for.
D. To compare the childhood lives of two generations.
2.Which is NOT a reason for the changes?
A. Families are smaller today.
B. Parents worried too much about their children.
C. Toys can be played by children alone at home.
D. It’s too dangerous to play outside.
3.What has the writer focused on in the fourth paragraph?
A. Young people today shouldn’t play electronic games.
B. Some games that young people play today aren’t really good.
C. Computer and video games have replaced the board games.
D. Board games are much more interesting than computer games.
4.The writer’s attitude towards the childhood changing is ________ .
A. approving B. unconcerned
C. objective D.optimistic
