微阶段刷题过关卷(二) (时间：70分钟　分值：85分) Unit 1　Developing ideas & Presenting ideas 第Ⅰ卷(满分25分) Ⅰ. 阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分) In my ninth­grade World History class, Mrs Bartlett announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a newspaper around the culture we were studying. On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs Bartlett informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I had no doubt that I would get the group of my choice. The next day, after the bell rang, Mrs Bartlett called for our attention. She started to call out names. When she reached Group Three, Missy, my best friend's name, was called. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There must be some mistakes! Then I heard it. “The last group: Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina.” I could feel the tears well up in my eyes. How could I face being in that group — the boy who barely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by long skirts, and the other girl who wore strange clothes. Oh, how badly. I wanted to be with my friends. I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs Bartlett. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why？” I started. She gently placed a hand on my shoulder. “I know what you want, Karina，” she said, “but your group needs you. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this assignment. Only you can help them.” I was shocked. I was amazed. She had seen something in me I hadn't seen. “Will you help them？” she asked. I stood straighter. “Yes，” I replied. I couldn't believe it came out of my mouth, but it did. I bravely walked to my group and sat down. Halfway through the week, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three misfits (行为怪异的人). I grew sincerely interested in learning something about them. Mauro was struggling with the English language and his lack of friends.
