   My stutter (口吃) had always been much of a problem. I'd had so many specialists (专家) for my      over the years. As I walked down the hallway to meet a new one, memories popped (突然出现) in my head of how painful being a kid who stutters had been. It      hurt.

    "Hello! I'm Mrs. Claussen. I hear you're from Texas!"

    "Ye-Ye-Ye-Yes m-m-m-m-m-m-m-aam I am…"I felt nervous.

    "Well," she said with a      smile. "I've always liked Texas."

    She turned out to be (结果是) the best speech specialist I've ever had, not like those who told me to clap my hands while speaking. She was     . She spent the first several weeks just talking to me-asking me all kinds of questions about myself, especially my feelings. And she     . She then began to teach me about the speech, not just about my speech, but about everybody's.

    I      in my old school and was a pretty good tenor (男高音) but I learned that the new school's singing group was all filled up. It was such bad news, for I thought that was the one thing I could really do well-and I could do it      stuttering. Somehow Mrs. Claussen finally got me in the group. I felt she really cared about me as a person, not just a speech student.

    During the next two years, my speech didn't get much better-except with her. When I was in college, things got worse. I once even wondered if I would ever be able to     ! It was a very depressing (使人沮丧的) time, and I often felt     .When I was feeling really sorry for myself, I remembered Mrs. Claussen had told me whether I could change my speech was all up to me. She was right about that, I finally improved my speech greatly.

    Many years have passed, but I think of her from time to time, wondering if she had as much      on her other students as she had on me. I like to think that she did. Her name was Mrs. Claussen…and she cared. I'll never forget her.

二、阅读理解题：共3小题每小题10分，共30分。

（A）

 Flowers bloom (开花) only if they are planted in rich soil (土壤). We are similarly influenced by our environment. When our environment is bad, we may get sick physically or mentally. When our environment is supportive, we are more likely to thrive.

    Which factor (因素) of the environment influences us most? The answer is surprising. It's not the air we breathe, nor the water we drink it's the people who we relate to every day. That's the truth. We have connections with a lot of people in different situations. Some bring us happiness and provide us with loving support. Others bring us down and make us feel worthless.

    It's nice to have people in your life who encourage you to better yourself. People whose hearts are warm enough to be happy for your success, rather than those who are so proud that they always want to compete with you for success. People who see the potential (潜力) in you, even when you can't see it in yourself. These are the people who you should have on your team and in your life.

    So if you really long for success, look back at the people who appear in your life. Are most of them supportive or unsupportive? When people around you aren't supportive, what kind of person do you become? Do you become shy, fearful, hateful and unhappy? When you connect with those who are supportive, what happens to you? Do you become open, lively, happy and brave?

    Taylor loves music, and her dream is to become a singer one day. Whenever she talks about her future dream none of her friends ever give her a fist bump (碰拳) to encourage her. Taylor always complains that her friends are not supportive enough, but walking away from them leaves her in loneliness. She has no better choice but to keep hanging out with them. However, the more time she spends with them, the worse she feels about herself.

    It's important to relate more to those who make you happy and support you. If you have to be around those who aren't supportive, then simply accept them as they are, without going after them for more than what they can offer to you.

(1)      Which of the following best explains the underlined word "thrive" in Paragraph 1?

 A．develop and grow B．judge and warn

 C．mind and care D．fail and fear

(2)      People who _____ may prevent you from making progress.

 A．give you a sense of success

 B．encourage you to better yourself

 C．make you feel worse about yourself

 D．help you know how excellent you are

(3)      The writer thinks it's _____ that people we relate to every day influence us most.

 A．fearful B．open and lively

 C．important D．surprising but true

(4)      According to the passage, what could probably help make Taylor's dream come true?

 A．She needs to get a fist bump from her friends.

 B．She needs to keep hanging out with her friends.

 C．She needs to walk away from her unsupportive friends.

 D．She needs to continue talking about her dream with her friends.

(5)      What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

 A．Letting the seed in rich soil.

 B．People around you could shape you.

 C．Saying no to unsupportive people.

 D．Influence of natural environment.

（B）

  Strawberries look nice, but a light pressure can make them out of shape. Nowadays, there are many young people who are just like strawberries. They easily break down when they face difficulties. They don't know what to do when they are in trouble. They have a common name-strawberry kids.

    Why are many students so easy to break down? Parents and schools are a main reason. Parents do almost everything for them in their daily life, while schools care more about their grades instead of developing their personality (个性).

    Liu Yue, 13, is from Fujian. His mom hardly criticizes (批评) him and he always feels good about himself. When a teacher criticized him strictly, he felt surprised and sad. He began to doubt his ability.

    Students should do something to make themselves mentally (心理上) strong. An expert said, "When you are in trouble, don't ask for help too quickly. You should try to deal with problems first by yourself. I also advise you to take an active part in sports and social activities. That can make you mentally strong."

    Growing up is not just a happy process (过程). Pains also go along with it The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.

(1)  Why are some students called "strawberry kids"?

 A．Because they all like to eat strawberries.

 B．Because a light pressure can make them out of shape.

 C．They easily break down when they face difficulties.

 D．Because they plant strawberries when they are in trouble.

(2)  Which's a main reason of becoming strawberry kids?

 A．Teachers criticize them strictly.

 B．Schools develop their personality.

 C．Kids care more about their own grades.

 D．Parents do almost everything for them.

(3)  How did Liu Yue feel when his teacher was strict with him?

 A．Surprised and sad. B．Angry and worried.

 C．Nervous and afraid. D．Happy and hard-working.

(4)  According to the 4th paragraph, what shouldn't the students do when they are in trouble?

 A．Ask for help too quickly.

 B．Join the basketball club.

 C．Help clean up the city parks.

 D．Try to deal with problems first by yourself.

(5)  What does the writer advise students to do in the face of pains?

 A．Doubt their abilities. B．Face the pains bravely.

 C．Keep away from the pains. D．Learn from the strawberry kids.

（C）

How to improve our study effectively

    A great number of students can't finish their tasks, which leads to bad results and makes them less interested in their study. How can we solve the problem? Here are some suggestions.

    First, we are supposed to have good study methods, such as previewing the lessons before class, listening to the teacher carefully in class, taking notes in time, reviewing in time, doing homework on time, correcting mistakes at any time.

    Then, it's helpful for study to have good health. So we should spend at least an hour (in) exercising our body every day.

    Besides, we'd better make good use of time. Don't put off what we can do today till tomorrow. We should ask the teacher or classmates for help if we have some questions.

    If you follow the advice that I have mentioned above, you will be successful.

范文二：

How to improve our study effectively

    A great number of students can't finish their tasks, which leads to bad results and makes them less interested in their study. How can we solve the problem? Here are some suggestions.

    First and foremost, we should listen carefully and pay attention to what teachers said in class, which is good for saving much time that should be spent on other subjects. Of course, it is necessary to take notes in class to help us understand lessons better and review what we have learnt in time. Besides, there is no doubt that we should correct our mistakes that we made during practice.

    Perhaps more importantly, not only can taking exercise build up our strong body, but also let our brain have enough time to rest, thus improving our study effectively.

    Last but not least, we'd better make good use of time. Don't put off what we can do today till tomorrow. We should ask the teacher or classmates for help if we have some questions.

    If you follow the advice that I have mentioned above, you will be successful.
