It was a cold rainy day and it was the day before Thanksgiving — the first one that my three children and I would be spending without their father, who passed away a year ago. Now the two children were ill with the flu. I hurried around, trying to look after each child. I found the children had no fruits. But what almost broke me down was that I only had $2.50 left –and this should last until the end of the month.

That is when I heard the phone ring. It was the secretary from our former church, and she told me that they had been thinking about us and had something to give us. I went to the church before lunch. The secretary met me and handed me two currency notes (现金券), each worth$20. I was so moved that I cried.

Then I drove to a supermarket for the children. The things cost me a little over $14.00, and I handed the note to the cashier (收银员). She took it and looked at it for a long time. I thought something might be wrong and told her that I was a single mother and how I got it. With tears in her eyes, the cashier said that she had prayed (祈祷) that morning to help others who were in need, and I gave her the chance. She added a turkey to my basket, and took out two $20 bills and paid for my things. Once again I was moved to tears.

1.Where was the farther of the children?

A.Go abroad. B.At work.

C.In the hospital. D.Died.

2.What most made the mother sad?

A.She only had $2.50 left. B.It was cold outside.

C.She had no telephone. D.She had no children.

3.Who gave the turkey to the mother?

A.The doctor B.The secretary

C.The cashier D.The boss.

4.What did the cashier do for the mother last?

A.She paid for all the things for the mother.

B.She gave $80 to the mother.

C.She took the mother to the church.

D.She laughed at the mother.

One day, I was in class, when all of a sudden my heart started racing. I broke out into a sweat, feeling hot and cold all over. My chest hurt, I was dizzy, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I jerked up from my desk and ran from the room, terrified. I didn’t care what the teacher thought, or that the eyes of the entire class were on me. I just had to get out of there.

I ran to the water fountain and drank some water. For several minutes, I just stood there holding on to the fountain. What was happening? Was I having a heart attack? Slowly, the lightheadedness went away. My heart stopped racing. I still had no idea what had happened.

And then, an hour later, once again it did the pounding heart, the dizziness, the feeling that I was dying. I burst into tears and ran for the hallway again. My teacher ran after me asking what was wrong. Panicking, I managed to choke out, “I need an ambulance, please.”

To my surprise, my teacher didn’t grab her phone for help. Instead, she put her hand on my arm and told me to slow down. “Breathe,” she said. “You’re going to be okay. You just need to calm down.”

Finally, my teacher explained that she was pretty sure I was having a panic attack. (They are also called anxiety attacks.) She knew, she said, because the same thing had happened to her when she was my age. She told me how she’d felt, and it was almost exactly how I was feeling now. She also explained that panic attacks are caused by anxiety.

My teacher talked to my parents, and they found me a counselor to deal with my anxiety. I’d been going through a tough time that year. My best friend had moved to a new school, and I wasn’t sure how to fit in with the girls in my class. I’d never told anyone, though—I just kept it to myself. My counselor helped me understand that not dealing with my feelings can lead to panic attacks, and that I need to talk to someone when my life is stressful. They all helped me sort things out.

By sharing my story, I want other girls my age to know that you’re not as alone as you feel, and that talking about it really does help.

1.What’s wrong with the author at the beginning of the story?

A.She caught a cold. B.She couldn’t breathe.

C.She had a heart attack. D.She suffered from a terrible anxiety.

2.What may cause a panic attack?

A.Writing to a friend to tell him you are worried about the exam.

B.Calling your mom and tell her you are in a bad mood.

C.Keeping the quarrel between you and your classmate to yourself.

D.Visiting your teacher to tell her you could not catch her in class.

3.The author shared her story to ________.

A.inform people of an anxiety attack

B.give advice on how to overcome an anxiety disorder

C.describe her feelings when suffering from a panic attack

D.help other girls who are going through what she went through

4.In which section can we find the text in a magazine?

A.Chicken soup. B.Teen Life.

C.Read for Fun. D.Literary World.

During my free time one day, I wandered down a lonely path into the woods and sat against a tree. Then I saw one of the camp counselors approaching me. "Oh great," I thought, since counselors were always trying to cheer you up or make you laugh.

"Hey," he said, "mind if I have a seat?" I shrugged(耸肩). I wasn't going to encourage him, but I couldn't exactly stop him, either. He sat down alongside me and extended a hand. "I'm Gary," he said, "and you're Erica, right?" I nodded. "You don't exactly look like you're having a good time," he began.

I crossed my arms and gritted my teeth. "Look," I said, "I didn't want to come to camp, I don't like it, I'm not having fun, and it basically stinks." I glared at Gary.

"So there's nothing here at all for you, huh?" he asked.

"Nothing," I answered.

"Let me show you something," said Gary. He got up, and I followed him along the path until I heard a sound like a roaring freight train.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Wait and see," he replied, with a small smile.

When we rounded the corner, I couldn't believe what I saw. There was the biggest waterfall I could ever imagine, right in front of me. "Cool!" I said, and I could feel my eyes getting bigger and a smile tugging at my mouth.

"Still think there's nothing here for you?" asked Gary. "Because there's a whole lot more of this kind of 'nothing' around here."

I had to admit, the waterfall was impressive.

"Look," said Gary, "camp is what you make it. You can be sullen(阴郁的) and closed-minded and have a rotten four weeks, or you can take a look around you and see some of the incredible sights and appreciate the opportunity. It would be useless for me to try to make you have fun. You can only do that for yourself. But if you loosen up a little, you might actually have a good time." With that, he turned and walked away, leaving me on the path.

That night, by the campfire, I found myself singing along with everyone else. By the time the four weeks were up, I didn't want to leave. I'd seen some amazing things and made some great friends.

Beauty is where you find it. Life is what you make it. I think it's going to be a good year this year. I mean, I'm going to work to make it one. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll get to go back to camp next year!

1.When Gary walked to Erica, you could predict that ________ .

A. he would help her feel better

B. she would say hello to him

C. he would talk about his life

D. she would tell him to go away

2.What can you tell about Erica from the beginning of the story?

A. She looks forward to this camp trip very much.

B. She has won a camp trip because of her good performance at school.

C. She knows Gary very well so they camp together.

D. She doesn’t see anything fun in the camp trip.

3.What can you tell about Erica from the ending of this story?

A. She has many close friends at home.

B. She is looking forward to the future.

C. She's a good student who gets mostly A's.

D. She often gets into trouble at school.

4.What does the underlined word “counselor” most probably mean in Para 1?

A. A person who teaches you how to make fun of others.

B. A person who gives you help and advice.

C. A person who guides you when you are travelling.

D. A person who teaches you how to make a camp.

5.Which is the theme(主题) of this story?

A. What you get out of life depends on what you put into it.

B. Parents are always making kids do things they don't want to do.

C. You will forget your trouble by the campfire.

D. Waterfalls always make you feel better.

My father and I started our morning by moving quickly into the local store. I waited in line at the Starbucks counter while he shopped around to pick up a few things.

As I was standing there I became aware of an elderly woman, with untidy hair, wearing layers upon layers of old clothing, hunchbacked (弯背的) behind me in line. She had a few things for washing and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to ring up since that queue was shorter than the queues in the store.

At some point I became aware of her edging (慢慢挪动) closer behind me — closer than I was comfortable with! I instinctively ( 本能地) placed a hand over my purse and drew it closer to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild stories about this homeless woman who might try to steal from me.

Then it was my turn to order. As the cashier rang up my total, I discovered I was 67 cents short. I called my father but he was hard of hearing. He asked me to repeat what I said but he still couldn’t make me out. At that point, a long, grey arm, with holes in its sleeves, reached over from behind me. She laid 67 cents out on the counter, saying, we all need some help sometimes.

I was stunned! Here was a woman who clearly had very little to give and was in great need herself. I had judged her wrongly and she had offered to reach out to help me!

What an amazing gift and lesson this woman gave me about judging others！Thank you, God!
