When I was growing up in America， I was ashamed of my mothers Chinese English. Because of her English， she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores， at banks， and at restaurants did not take her seriously， did not give her good service， and pretended （假裝） not to understand her.

My mother has realized the disadvantages of her English as well. When I was fifteen， she used to have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to shout at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker （股票經(jīng)紀(jì)人）. I said in an adolescent voice that was not very believable， “This is Mrs Tan.”

And my mother was standing beside me， whispering loudly， “Why he doesnt send me check already two week long？”

And then， in perfect English I said， “Im getting rather worried. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago， but it hasnt arrived.”

Then she talked more loudly， “What he want？ I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again， “I cant tolerate （容忍） any more excuse. If I dont receive the check immediately， I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”

The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced， my mother， the real Mrs Tan， was shouting to the boss in her broken English.

When I was a teenager， my mothers broken English embarrassed me. But now， I see it differently. To me， my mothers English is perfectly clear， perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things， expressed ideas， and made sense of the world.

1. Why was the authors mother poorly served？

A. She was bad at English. B. She was bad at Chinese.

C. She had hearing problems. D. She was impolite.

2. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2？

A. She was good at pretending. B. She was impolite to the stockbroker.

C. She has a talent for English. D. She was unwilling to phone for her mother.

3. What can we learn about the author after she called the stockbroker？

A. She went to New York immediately. B. She spoke to the boss then.

C. Her mother made peace with him. D. Her mother failed to get the check.

4. What does the author think of her mothers English now？

C. It helps her tolerate unkind people. D. It helps her understand the world.

A

I had always thought of my dad as a magician. With his pen， he brought my childhood friends to life and developed brave characters. It wasnt long before he put a pen into my hands and told me to create my own stories. The world was a big place， but my dad made it bigger. That was until the magician himself was defeated.

Cancer caught up with him and soon the worlds mightiest hero had to take a break. My world of imagination was on the verge of collapsing （崩潰） as I watched my dads bright energy fade away. I refused to take any of it. It was too soon and too sudden.

The truth could not be ignored when one morning， my mother had to break the news. My dad had only three months to live. It was at that moment that I felt the world my dad had built was destroyed. I put my pen down and never picked it up.

Until one day， my dad sat me down. I was afraid of having to talk to him. I couldnt bear looking him in the eye. What was possibly there to say to a dying man？ But what he said was not what I expected. “Nu Nu，” he started， “I want to start a new project.” Then he began talking to me about his plan to write a new story and publish it online. Filling me in on his story， the characters， and this whole new world he had just recently thought up， he turned to me and asked， “Will you help me？” Without a pause， I said yes.

You see， my dad was on the brink of death， if I may be so honest. But that did not stop him. And it should not stop me either. That night， I took out my notebook and picked up my pen once more.

1. What did the authors father encourage him to do when he was young？

A. Try to make the world bigger. B. Write new stories of his own.

C. Learn how to be a magician. D. Learn from the heroes in life.

2. Why did the author give up writing？

A. He learned his father was badly ill. B. He got nothing to write about.

C. He had no interest in it. D. He just wanted to take a rest.

3. What did the author think of his fathers illness？

A. Unbelievable. B. Acceptable. C. Tiring. D. Confusing.

4. What made the author return to writing again？

A. His fathers fight against cancer. B. His mothers news about the truth.

C. His own realization of his gift for writing. D. His fathers request for help with a new project.

B

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those grow up in the right family， and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. Im not going to say luck and talent; circumstances dont come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence， and thats just the reality of how life is.

However， to succeed in life， one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical （切實可行）. And， in addition to that， in order to get really good at something， one needs to spend at least 10，000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things， itll require even more time， time that most people wont put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you dont enjoy what you do， it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit （放棄） well before you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success， you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talents， but thinking that way does you no good， and theres a huge chance that you are wrong anyway.

Whatever you do， if you want to become great at it， you need to work day in and day out， almost to the point of addiction， and over a long period of time. If youre not willing to put in the time and work， dont expect to receive any rewards （回報）. Consistent hard work wont ensure you the level of success you may want， but it will ensure that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

5. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about？

A. The meaning of success. B. The reasons for success.

C. The standards of success. D. The importance of success.

6. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to？

A. Setting a practical goal. B. Being good at something.

C. Putting in more time. D. Succeeding in life.

7. Why do successful people suggest doing what one loves？

A. It makes one happy. B. It takes a lot of time to succeed.

C. One gives up his work easily. D. One can have better chances to succeed.

8. What can we infer from Paragraph 4？

A. Successful people have great skills. B. Its hard to achieve success.

C. Luck or talent leads to success. D. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.

As I was cleaning up my bookshelf this weekend， I found a lot of cards from my mother. When I read the words on each card， I ended up crying. Thats because these encouraging cards helped me go through a difficult time. I felt pressured at the beginning of high school and was afraid of falling behind. Mom found my problem and encouraged me as much as she could by using these cards. Gradually， I became less nervous and began to find pleasure in my studies. Mom makes me understand that pressure cant be avoided. We should deal with it properly， and turn it into pleasure or a challenge.
