I was in the seventh grade, and we had moved ...

I was in the seventh grade, and we had moved to New Jersey in November. By then, everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in ''Section L''. I found out later that everyone called Section L ''Loserville''. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!

I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that. Anas texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, and I had to try to make things better.

The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right!

I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn't, I was still stuck in ''Loserville'', and some people were still mean (苛刻) to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.

But what did change was me — I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!

I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn't so hard anymore. Even though I couldn't change my situation, I could change my attitude — and that made all the difference.

1.''Loserville'' is a section for ________.

A.smart students B.low achievers

C.class leaders D.new comers

2.The writer complained all the time in the new environment because ________.

A.Ana didn’t text back to her B.she was a good student

C.her friends hurt her feelings D.she was unfairly treated

3.What made a difference in changing the situation?

A.She managed to go back to Illinois. B.She ended the friendship with Ana.

C.She began to make friends with others. D.She fought back with her classmates.

4.The best title for the passage can be ________.

A.Everlasting Friendship B.Say Goodbye to ''Loserville''

C.An Incident at School D.Unhappiness in ''Loserville''

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.

Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note—“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically（魔术般）appear.

All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.

There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete (竞争). Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practiced to have a delivery service.

Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

1.Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer________.

A．to show his magical power                B．to pay for the delivery

C．to satisfy his curiosity                    D．to please his mother

2.What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?

A．He wanted to have tea there.              B．He was a respectable person.

C．He was treated as a family member.          D．He was fully trusted by the family.

3.Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?

A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now.         B．It has been driven out of the market.

C．Its service is getting poor.                 D．It is forbidden by law.

4.Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?

A．He missed the good old days.              B．He wanted to tell interesting stories.

C．He needed it for his milk bottles.            D．He planted flowers in it.

I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.

In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.

In New Jersey, an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.

Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved anywhere else.

1.Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?

A．Because they were born there.             B．Because it was a better educational town.

C．Because the writer began his fifth grade.      D．Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.

2.How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?

A．About 80.         B．About 160.        C．About 220.        D．About 300.

3.What does the underlined expression “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?

A．None of.          B．The whole of       C．A large number of   D．A small number of

4.Why can’t the writer forget Edison?

A．Because he regards it as his hometown.      B．Because his parents got new jobs there.

C．Because there are many Asians there.        D．Because it is in the state of New Jersey.

They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served after seven.

“Are you still serving dinner?” asked Mr Smith.

“Yes, certainly, sir,” answered the man. “We serve it until half past nine.”
