An Arizona mom says none of her son"s kindergarten friends showed up for his birthday party
after she sent 32 invitations to his classmates.
The boy, Teddy, held a birthday party on Sunday at Peter Piper Pizza in Tucson, where he and his mother, Sil Mazzini, had expecting dozens of little girls and boys—as well as the children"s parents—to join them at the restaurant. Mazzini said a few people told her in advance that they couldn"t make it, but she wasn"t prepared for everyone to be no-shows.
Mazzini shared a photo of her son sitting alone in front of several pizzas on her social media page. That brought dozens and dozens of birthday wishes from around the country, as well as other gifts and offers.
"I live near Tampa, Florida, and heard about you via my local news," one woman wrote on social media." I hope you have a wonderful year and I"m sending you a big hug." The biggest unexpected birthday present for Teddy came from the Phoenix Suns, who invited him to watch Wednesday night"s game at the Talking Slick Resort Arena against the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James. The city"s professional soccer club, the Phoenix Rising FC, also invited Teddy to join 7,000 of his closest friends at a playoff game on Friday.
But some on social media questioned Mazzini"s decision to broadcast her son"s humiliating day. "Don"t embarrass this kid even more than he already is," one woman wrote on the social networking website. "This is so wrong." (1).How may Teddy feel about his birthday party? A.Relaxed. B.Disturbed. C.Disappointed.
D.Bored. (2).What did the Phoenix Suns invite Teddy to do? A.Play a playoff game on Friday. B.Watch Wednesday night"s game. C.Join the professional soccer club. D.Spend a weekend with them. (3).What can we infer about Sil Mazzini from the last paragraph? A.She is not supported by all the people. B.She cares little about her son"s feelings. C.She regrets having posted her son"s image. D.She has removed the comments on social media.
3.Before my daughter, Evelyn, was born, I eagerly expected her first year of life. I imagined celebrating every milestone — bonding with her as a newborn, seeing her smile for the first time, hearing her say her first word. I didn’t think of feeding tubes, long hospital stays or an organ transplant (移植).For Evelyn, the first year included all and more.
Evelyn came into this world at just 34 weeks, weighing less than 3 pounds. Genetic testing revealed she had Alagille syndrome，a genetic disorder that can damage the liver(肝脏），heart and other organs. Soon, we received the news that baby Evelyn needed a liver transplant. Our family moved nearer to UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh so that we were closer if a liver was available for Evelyn.
When Evelyn was added to the organ donation wait list, it was under the liver allocation policy in place at that time, which was map-based. This policy lacks any special consideration for transplant candidates. We were told it would likely take three months. Just then, a new policy for liver allocation was tried out. Under the new system, the sickest child patients get first priority(优先). The new policy was only in effect for a little over a week. But in that period, Evelyn received her liver transplant. Had it been just one week earlier or later, we would not have received the call.
As Evelyn recovers from her transplant, we are grateful for the change. I am also sad, because the new policy was short-lived. That means another mom like me might not receive that phone call with good news.
Other children should have the same opportunity as Evelyn to live healthy, happy lives. When it comes to liver transplant policy, we can and must do better for children. 1. What probably happened to Evelyn shortly after she was born? A. She failed to give a smile. B. She had a serious liver failure. C. She said her first word quickly. D. She suffered from a heart attack. 2. Why did the author’s family move nearer to the hospital? A. To save time.
B. To save money. C. To see a doctor.
D. To get first priority. 3. What does the author mean by the underlined sentence? A. Evelyn is healthy now. B. They waited too long. C. They were one week earlier. D. Her daughter is fortunate. 4. What does the author want to express in the last paragraph?
A. We must guarantee kids have healthy livers. B. Kids should have chances of a liver transplant. C. The sickest kids should get liver transplants first. D. The old policy lacks special consideration for kids.

Downey’s mother spent one year studying abroad through an international exchange program with a French school. She often talked about how exciting and interesting the experience was. So, even before finishing high school, Downey had decided to follow suit one day.
Downey began studying architecture at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2004. Near the end of her second year, she started to feel unhappy with her school and decided it was time to study abroad.
U. S. colleges and universities commonly have joint programs with foreign schools that permit student exchanges. These programs usually last half a school year or sometimes a whole school year. The classes students take abroad usually give them credits toward their degree. In a four-year degree program, the third year is the most common time for American college students to study abroad. Many students think they need a change before what is usually their final and most difficult year of study.
Downey said her school did not want her to go at first. The architecture program at Lehigh was very intense, and her professors were worried she might miss learning important material. However,she was eventually able to get special permission to study internationally for a whole year. During the fall term in 2006, she attended a Danish international school in Copenhagen, Denmark,explaining she did so because Danish architects are well known for their housing design.
Young adult as she was,she had to deal with travel documents and many other issues(问题) on her own. Overcoming the language barrier is the biggest challenge of studying abroad. However, she had a lot of emotional(情感的) and financial support from her family. She learned life lessons and made friendships and memories that have lasted to this day. She said, "The more you’re out of your comfort zone, the more rewarding the experience is in the end." 1.What does Downey’s mother mean to Downey? A.A friend. B.A dreamer.
C.An example. D.An expert. 2.Why did Downey finally decide to study abroad? A.Her mother asked her to do so. B.Her school didn"t live up to her expectations. C.She disliked studying architecture. D.The joint programs gave her much inspiration. 3.What made Downey choose the Danish international school? A.The famous learned professors. B.The casual learning environment. C.The impressive academic reputation. D.The favorable geographical location. 4.What can we infer according to the last paragraph? A.It was not easy for Downey to study abroad. B.The comfortable life is likely to ruin the future life. C.Downey was too young to take care of herself. D.Downey"s parents could hardly afford her education. 5.It was a Saturday
evening in March, just before sundown, when we heard the screaming. I was out walking with my wife, Melissa, and our golden retriever (猎 犬 ), Kira, beside a lake when the peace was broken by a woman’s voice, calling out two names over and over. We spotted her almost immediately, three or four hundred feet away across the lake. Spring had come but there was still snow on the ground, the water covered by a layer of ice that had just started to thaw. Two big dogs were walking across it. They appeared to be quite old and were moving slowly. As we watched, the ice gave way beneath one dog and then the other, plunging them into the water. We arrived at the scene a few minutes later, but the dogs already seemed to be showing the effects of the cold as they struggled weakly to escape. We realized that calling 911 would be useless
— the dog farther out was in water about 20 feet deep and
I feared neither of them would stay afloat long enough for the emergency services to arrive. Besides, I was probably qualified to carry out the rescue myself. I was practicing the kind of deep breathing
my grandfather had taught me as I walked in. I wasn’t alone
— Kira swam alongside me. Having Kira there was a huge support.
We were able to go back to shore quickly. The second dog was further out and I had to pause before I went back in. That’s when another technique I’d learned from my grandfather came into play. He’d taught me about a pressure point on the wrist that when pressed in the right way sends out an electrical signal,like a jolt of energy. That kept me warm as I set out again with Kira.
I maintained
eye contact with the dog as we approached. With Kira’s encouragement, it followed us back. The owner was emotional — “I’m the luckiest woman alive!
” she said. 1.What does the underlined word “thaw” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Melt. B.Shake. C.Flow. D.Appear. 2.Why didn’t the writer call 911? A.The writer’s dog has been trained to save lives. B.The dogs could save themselves from the cold water. C.There wasn’t enough time to wait for the emergency services. D.The writer’s grandfather had taught him how to save the dogs. 3.What do we know about the second technique the writer learned from his grandfather? A.It makes him brave.
B.It keeps him warm. C.It allows him stay focused. D.It helps him walk quickly. 4.Who accompanied and helped the writer while saving the dogs in the water? A.His wife. B.The dogs’ owner. C.His grandfather. D.His dog. 6.Thirteen, for me, was a challenging year. My parents divorced and I moved to a new town with my father, far from my old family and friends. I was terribly lonely and would cry myself to sleep each night. To ease my sadness, my father purchased an old horse for me at a local market. I named him Cowboy. Cowboy was undoubtedly the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all reason. I joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickers about Cowboy’s looks. I never let on about how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rode beautiful, registered horses. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance, we were
quickly shown the gate. No amount of preparation and love would turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the speed events. I chose the jumping race. One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she didn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didn’t need to. I came in next to last. The stinging memory of Becky’s smirks(得意的笑) made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena. We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted. All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place. My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboy’s neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line. As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds! I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. 1.Why was the writer unconfident of victory? A.He was an inexperienced rider. B.He was unpopular with the crowd. C.He had not practised much yet. D.He thought his horse wasn’t good. 2.What did the writer learn from his experience? A.Life can sometimes be unfair for us. B.Anything is possible if one tries hard enough. C.A positive attitude will bring us success. D.One should not judge others by appearance. 3.What is the best title for the text? A.A Run to Remember
B.A Horse’s Tale C.Neck and Neck Race
D.A Difficult Age
