1 . When I was a little girl, I remember that when my dad was repairing something, he would ask me to hold the hammer, so we would have time for a conversation with each other. I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.

I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days.

Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.

One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in the hospital. Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams.

After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day.

The day before Mother’s Day, my friend were talking about what they would buy to their mothers. Buying flowers was that most of them would do. But for me, I had wanted to do something differently. As I couldn’t go back home on Mother’s Day, I decided to give call to her, sending her my warmest wishes. I was very nervous that I had no idea what to say. I searched the Internet and find many wonderful words. But then I felt ashamed of say someone else’s words. Finally, I told my mother that I loved her and thanked you for the things she had done for me.

I thought that Hannah should have told my classmates about my grade after promise not to.

6 . Tricks（窍门）to make friends at a new school

Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be difficult, and you don't even know where to go for your own classes. Making new friends can be hard, too.     1    

Be yourself.

Never change who you are to try to fit in. If some people don't accept you, they're not the kind of friends you need.

    2     For example, someone who does a lot of sports may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.

Be friendly to others.

    3     If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!

    4     .

A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don't keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact with other people. If you see someone you know, smile or say “Hi". Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.

Remember people’s names.

You like it when people use your name, and so do other people.     5     Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname （昵称）. You'd be surprised at how often this might come in handy.

A．People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.

B．Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school.

C．Join in after-school activities you like.

D．These tricks can help you quickly turn some strangers into friends.

E．People often stay together because they have similar interests.

F．Don't sit at the back of the classroom where other people don't notice you!

G．Believe in yourself.

8 . High school was a hard time for Me in the beginning because I had just moved to a small town and knew basically no one. I loved to play basketball but was afraid to go to tryout (选拔)for the school's team because I didn't know anyone. One day all that changed when I missed the bus home and decided to shoot baskets on the school playground to kill time. The coach Mr Colbath had been watching me make various baskets and was pretty impressed with my moves.

He came up to me and asked me who had taught me to play like that. I told him that my dad had taught me how to play basketball. He asked me if he would see me at the tryout on Friday. but I said no and told him why. He told me to have a try because I played very well and would maybe make some friends on the court. After thinking for a few minutes. I finally decided to have a try.

On the day of the tryout, the coach came, found me and helped me practice before the tryout. He helped me a lot and I did very well at the tryout and many members of the team were quite impressed.

He helped me do my math which I had such a difficult time with and he even taught me how to live independently.

9 . As Simon Kindleysides, 34, took his first step in the London Marathon in April, he felt as if magic was in the air.

"As we were walking toward the first mile, we actually started joining all the runners," he said. "Everyone was on the streets, cheering, and that was a magical moment." As time went on, the crowds and other racers spread around. Kindleysides and his team of eight supporters continued walking.

Kindleysides, who is paralyzed(瘫痪的)from the waist down and typically uses a wheelchair, was equipped with an exoskeleton(体外骨骼)to help him walk. His supporters walked with him to change the batteries in his exoskeleton so he could keep moving.

In 2013, Kindleysides was diagnosed with a brain tumor (肿瘤) that was growing in a way that pressed on certain nerves, leading to him losing feeling in his legs. He was told he would never walk again. Before his paralysis, the London-based singer and dancer had "always wanted to run a marathon," he said, but he never made the plan to do so--until this year.

During the London Marathon, the last two miles were the hardest. "At that point, I was exhausted. It was freezing cold, and I was hurting emotionally," Kindleysides said. But he kept going. "I didn't want to let people down. I had a team of eight, and I was raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity," he said. "I didn't want to let them down, myself down, and I thought if I would get this far, I would have to continue."So he continued and made history as the first paralyzed man to complete the London Marathon on foot.

Then, recovering at home, he shared his accomplishment with his three children. "They used to say I'm the only dad in their whole school who's in a wheelchair, and now they say I'm their dad, the only one who has walked a marathon," he said.

Kindleysides is training to complete three more marathons next year, including the London Marathon again.

1. Why did Kindleysides' supporters accompany him all the way?

A．To help change the batteries.	B．To inspire him as a team.
C．To guide him along the road.	D．To assist him with the wheelchair.

2. What caused Kindleysides' disability?

A．An operation on his brain for the tumor.

B．An accident in the previous marathon.

C．Some nerves produced out of the tumor.

D．The pressure from the brain tumor on the nerves.

3. What partly supported Kindleysides to finish the hardest two-mile race?

A．The prize money for the winner.	B．The strong desire to recover.
C．The kindness to help the charity.	D．The belief to beat others.

4. What can we learn about Kindleysides?

B．He is ambitious for joining in London marathons once more.

C．His children feel a pity for him in the wheelchair now.

D．He was the first disabled man to complete the London Marathon.
