Today I was sitting in class trying to  the last minutes studying for a test in which I had to get full marks.   the girl behind me started talking to me, I tried to listen  while still glancing at my study sheet  . When I thought the conversation required it, I smiled, nodded and  . And then I found myself wishing she would be  so I could study. After a while, she said, “You know, you’re a really good  . You’re so easy to talk to. ”I froze.
I replayed the praise in my head before smiling and accepting it  . But inside, I knew it wasn’t true. She’d made every effort to have a conversation and I wasn’t even trying to  .
I passed the test excellently despite my  of lost study time, but the one thing I needed to learn most wasn’t on that test. I had  being the best student so that I had failed at just being normal. So what  to me most? What I have is all about my personal  and about me being too self-centered. There can only be so many scholars, but there is  enough sympathy. I want that to be what matters to me—sympathy.

(2013·高考重慶卷,A)The morning had been a disaster.My tooth was aching,and I’d been in an argument with a friend.Her words still hurt:“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place.Can’t you see things from my point of view?”I shook my head stubbornly-and felt the ache in my tooth.I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday,but the pain was really unbearable.I started calling the dentists in the phone book,but no one could see me immediately.Finally,at about lunchtime,I got lucky.

“The artwork?”I was puzzled.

I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the street. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely place, feeling as if I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a go.
I felt tense and shaking. I drew my violin from under my coat like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains passing overhead, that I was about to prove myself.
The first notes I played were loud and raw, and then they settled down and began to run more smoothly and to stay more or less in tune. To my surprise I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all.
I walked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually knowing how to try and get money by being a street artist. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money — the sight could discourage the people; nor was it wise to empty it completely, which could also confuse them, giving them no hint as to where to drop his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a good idea. Before I played another tune, I took off the big money, but always left two pennies behind.
Old ladies were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls, and typists. As for the men: Heavy drinkers were always generous too and so were big young with muscles. But never a man with a hat, briefcase or dog; respectable types were the meanest of all, except retired army officers, who would bark “Why aren’t you working, young man?” and then threw much money into the hat to hide their confusion.
小題1:The underlined phrase “have a go” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A.have a tryB.run away
C.change a placeD.commit a crime
小題2:When the writer began to play the violin, he thought that ________.
A.he could make a lot of moneyB.he had chosen the wrong place
C.he would get into trouble D.people would stop and listen to him
小題3:According to the passage, the writer thought the best way of encouraging people to give a street-violinist money was to ________.
A.let the hat fill up with money first
B.leave a small amount of money in the hat
C.make sure that the hat was always empty
D.choose the best place to play more smooth tunes
小題4:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Most of the ladies were willing to give him money.
B.Retired army officers seldom gave him money.
C.Drinkers were generous with their money.
D.Not all the people would feel pity for street-violinists.

Some people succeed in unbelievable ways.
Roussel was orphaned at the age of eight and went to live with his grandfather. He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the family music collection and playing his favorite songs on the piano.
Three years later, Roussel’s grandfather died, and his aunt adopted him. Her husband arranged for young Albert to take regular piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside resort added a second love to his life -- the sea. He studied to be a naval cadet (海軍學員), but still made time to study music.
In the French Navy, while he served on a warship based at Cherbourg, he and two friends found the time to play the music of Beethoven and other composes (作曲家). Roussel also began composing. At the Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first performance as a composer.
That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow offices offered to show it to a well-known conductor (指揮家), Edouard Colonne. When Roussel’s friend returned with the manuscript (手稿), he reported that Colonne had advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.
Not long afterwards, at the age of 25, Roussel did just that. He applied characters that he had developed in the navy to his composing and became a major force in twentieth century French music. As for Eduoard Colonne’s inspiring advice that Roussel devote his life to music, Roussel's navy friend later admitted that he had made it up and that he had never even shown Roussel's manuscript to the conductor.
小題1:Which of the following shows the right order of the story?
a. Roussel gave up his naval career.
b. Roussel was adopted by his aunt.
c. Roussel read through the family music collection.
d. Roussel had his first performance as a composer in Cherbourg.
A.c, b, d, a B.b. c, d, aC.b, c, a. dD.c, b, a, d
小題2:What ______ did played the most important part in Roussel's final success.
A.his mother B.the husband of his aunt
C.his navy friendD.Edouard Colonne
小題3:We can infer from the article that______.
A.Roussel's aunt adopted him after his grandfather died.
B.Roussel read through the family music collection in his grandfather's.
C.Colonne advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.
D.If Roussel hadn't joined the navy, he might not have achieved so much.
小題4:Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.A clever musicianB.A white lie

Actress Hayden Panettiere recently got into trouble with Japanese fishermen as she tried to stop them from killing dolphins.
The 18-year-old star with some other surfers sailed out to reach the dolphins in order to stop them from being driven into a nearby pool and killed, but the six surfers, from Australia and the United States, were stopped by a fishing boat before they could reach them. The fishermen blocked their way with a boathook (鉤篙). It was an ugly, unfriendly and life-threatening struggle before the surfers were forced to return to the beach. It is believed that the dolphins were later taken into a pool and killed.
Panettiere, who is a brave surfer and loyal animal protector, made up her mind to save the dolphins of Japan and said, "It was really frightening. Some of us were hit by the boathook, but in the end all we were really worried about the dolphins. It was so sad. We were so close to them and they were jumping out of the water to see us." Breaking down in tears, she added, "One little baby dolphin stuck his head out and looked at me and the thought that it’s no longer with us is really hard to take."
The surfers left the country to avoid arrest (逮捕) by the Japanese police. Panettiere is now back in Los Angeles.
More than 22,000 dolphins are killed by fishermen in Japan every year. Many Japanese believe dolphins should be treated like fish. They have been hunting dolphins for centuries and see any criticism (批評) of this as an attack on their culture. 
小題1:Why did the surfers get into trouble with the fishermen in Japan?
A.They said something that hurt the fishermen.
B.They entered a pool which wasn’t allowed to go into.
C.They attacked Japanese culture.
D.They tried to stop the fishermen from killing the dolphins.
小題2:From Paragraph 3, we can learn that Panettiere ________.
A.was really frightened and sad
B.succeeded in saving the dolphins
C.cried when they were hit by the boathook
D.didn’t like the Japanese fishermen
小題3:Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A.What Happened While Surfing in Japan
B.Hayden Panettiere Cried in the Sea of Japan
C.People Worldwide Are Against Killing Dolphins
D.Protect the Wild Animals
