How I Turned to Be Optimistic(乐观的)
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
4. How did the author get to know America?
A. From her relatives B. From her mother
C. From books and pictures D. From radio programs
5 Upon leaving for America the author felt_______.
A. confused B. excited C. worried D. sad
6. For the first two years in New York, the author_______.
A. often lost her way
B. did not think about her future
C. studied in three different schools
D. got on well with her stepfather
7. The author believes that ________ .
A. her future will be free from troubles
B. it is difficult to learn to become patient
C. there are more good things than bad things
D. good things will happen if one keeps trying
C
In recent years, it seems that we are slowly coming to understand that animals like elephants, monkeys and pigs have not just brains, but complicated inner and social lives thanks to scientific advances in our understanding of animal minds. Yet that awareness hasn’t made itself felt to much greater degree in our closest relationship with animals: at the dinner table.
With Personalities on the Plate, Barbara King asks us to think hard about our meat eating and how we might reduce it. King does not criticize. Instead, she takes us chapter by chapter on a cook’s tour of animals we humans eat, from insects to pigs and dogs, while exploring the latest scientific discoveries about their intelligence and feelings that we humans often wrongly claim uniquely for ourselves.
Built on a mix of firsthand experience and close engagement with the work of scientists, farmers and chefs, Personalities on the Plate has successfully built a case for them as beings that deserve more than a trip down our stomachs. With humor and tales of animals acting as individuals expressing their emotions, Personalities on the Plate takes us on an unforgettable journey through the world of animals we eat.
“This thoughtful book is not about whether we ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t’ eat meat. Barbara King looks at the range of values and consequences surrounding farming and feasting, and at who we are considering eating,” says Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel. “Her book gives me a richer understanding. Her method and passion are effective. I ended the book agreeing that I can — and should — help these creatures and our environment by choosing to eat fewer of them or none at all.”
8. What does the author suggest in the first paragraph?
A. Lots of people plan to stop eating meat.
B. Meat consumption should be increased.
C. Scientists should do more to protect animals.
D. Our diet is hardly influenced by our knowledge.
9. What can we know about Personalities on the Plate?
A. It openly opposes meat eating. B. It is written by scientists and chefs.
C. It includes humorous and vivid stories. D. It denies animals’ intelligence and feelings.
10. What does Carl Safina say about King’s book?
A. Its method is too subjective. B. Its conclusion is convincing.
C The book is tightly organized. D. The evidences are contradictory.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To review a book. B. To recommend an author.
C. To promote a diet. D. To advocate animals’ rights.
D
Among my friends, one topic seems to dominate our conversations: bones. It makes sense, given that 20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis (骨质疏松) and that more than half have bone loss. For men, the figures are lower: 4 percent and a third. Worldwide, one out of three women over 50 and one out of five older men will develop a fracture (骨折). Another reason for the endless argument about bone problems is mass confusion over how best to strengthen your bones and whether diet really makes a difference.
Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health haven’t been consistent. But gradually some clarity is emerging. As we draw up resolutions for what to eat, it’s useful to look at new data on vitamin D. Calcium is the key element for building bones, and vitamin D helps to absorb calcium from the food we eat, so doctors often recommend D supplements (补充剂) to make up for age-related bone loss.
But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors. That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that these supplements do not improve bone density (密度). “Food and sun exposure likely provide enough vitamin D for healthy adults,” says Meryl LeBoff, who led the study.
What does help maintain strong bones for all of us? The easy answer is food high in calcium such as milk and tofu. Getting it from food is best, LeBoff says, “because there are so many other nutrients (营养物质), and you have a more continuous absorption than with D supplements.”
The other key element of bone health involves calories out rather than calories in. Weight-bearing exercise stimulates bone formation throughout life. So while focusing on better nutritional choices, add more exercise to your daily menu.
12. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 emphasize?
A. The seriousness of bone problems.
B. The concern about senior citizens.
C. The confusion about strengthening bones.
D. The importance of having a balanced diet.
13. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply?
A. Diet research is no longer a challenge.
B. We’ve made resolutions to study diets.
C. Findings on bone health prove to be similar.
D. We begin to agree on ways to keep bones healthy.
14. What can be inferred from the recent study?
A. People can absorb vitamin D in food easily.
B. The findings go against LeBoffs earlier ones.
C. D supplements play a minor role than expected.
D. Fractures are linked with weight-bearing exercise.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. A recipe for better bones B. Your bones cry!
C. The magic of D supplements D. Vitamin D wins!

It’s the start of the new school year, and most college students now know what’s expected for their classes. But one rule troubles some students — the laptop rule, which limits or stops the use of laptops for note-taking in class.
How students take notes, whether typing on a laptop or writing by hand, is a topic of debate among students. ____16____, and they prefer to use their laptops. However, I personally support the laptop rule.
____17____. Psychologists Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer have found that taking notes on laptops is less effective than taking notes by hand. Compared to typing on a keyboard, writing by hand increases our memory, and makes for better understanding in our brains and better understanding when our brains read our handwritten notes again for test preparation.
Plus, laptops are also distracting (令人分心的). ____18____. In many classes, I’ve seen students using laptops to go on social media, play games, or read news. The back-and-forth between taking notes and looking at Twitter on bright computer screens nearby steals my attention away from the lecture, which is not fair to me.
There are some situations where laptops are allowed. Students with learning or physical disabilities should have the choice to use their laptops to take notes. It might be easier for them to take notes on a keyboard. ____19____, they should not be given the same choice.
During class time, students should focus on their teacher and the lesson. ____20____, it’s best to take notes with pen and paper.
A. Since students who use laptops take more notes
B. If they want to learn something from a class or lecture
C. However, since most students don’t have such problems
D. Using a laptop influences others, not just the person using it
E. Some students say they have the right to choose how to take notes
F. It is a popular belief that taking notes on a laptop is quick and easy
G. If learning is students’ goal, using a laptop during class is a terrible idea

Having taken part in the interschool storytelling championship for the past two years, I was a shining star of my school. When it came to choosing the right candidate to participate in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year.
Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends acknowledged that I would undoubtedly emerge as the champion again. Consequently, I became conceited (自负的). I was so proud that I neglected the importance of practicing for the contest.
A week before the contest, my teacher Ms. Sara asked, “Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to rehearse for the contest?” She had tutored me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was. “Just imagine you are on the stage in the presence of the audience,” she added. “I’m sorry, Ms. Sara,” I replied. “I have a bit of a sore throat.” This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practice in front of the class. I always found excuses to avoid doing it because I believed that I was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary. On one occasion, I even told Ms. Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest. In fact, I did everything but practice my script. I only managed to glance briefly through the story the day before the contest. As the best storyteller among the students of the local secondary schools. I was too vain to practice and expected everything to be fine.
The contest was being held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was packed. My school teachers and principal were there along with many of my classmates and schoolmates. I was the eighth contestant out of twenty in total. ‘Those who spoke before me did extremely well. On seeing their fascinating and outstanding performance, I began to lose confidence in myself. My palms sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous.
注意:1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Soon, it was my turn to talk.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, results were announced after the contest.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

C
In recent years, it seems that we are slowly coming to understand that animals like elephants, monkeys and pigs have not just brains, but complicated inner and social lives thanks to scientific advances in our understanding of animal minds. Yet that awareness hasn’t made itself felt to much greater degree in our closest relationship with animals: at the dinner table.
With Personalities on the Plate, Barbara King asks us to think hard about our meat eating and how we might reduce it. King does not criticize. Instead, she takes us chapter by chapter on a cook’s tour of animals we humans eat, from insects to pigs and dogs, while exploring the latest scientific discoveries about their intelligence and feelings that we humans often wrongly claim uniquely for ourselves.
Built on a mix of firsthand experience and close engagement with the work of scientists, farmers and chefs, Personalities on the Plate has successfully built a case for them as beings that deserve more than a trip down our stomachs. With humor and tales of animals acting as individuals expressing their emotions, Personalities on the Plate takes us on an unforgettable journey through the world of animals we eat.
“This thoughtful book is not about whether we ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t’ eat meat. Barbara King looks at the range of values and consequences surrounding farming and feasting, and at who we are considering eating,” says Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel. “Her book gives me a richer understanding. Her method and passion are effective. I ended the book agreeing that I can — and should — help these creatures and our environment by choosing to eat fewer of them or none at all.”
8. What does the author suggest in the first paragraph?
A. Lots of people plan to stop eating meat.
B. Meat consumption should be increased.
C. Scientists should do more to protect animals.
D. Our diet is hardly influenced by our knowledge.
9. What can we know about Personalities on the Plate?
A. It openly opposes meat eating. B. It is written by scientists and chefs.
C. It includes humorous and vivid stories. D. It denies animals’ intelligence and feelings.
10. What does Carl Safina say about King’s book?
A. Its method is too subjective. B. Its conclusion is convincing.
C. The book is tightly organized. D. The evidences are contradictory.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To review a book. B. To recommend an author.
C. To promote a diet. D. To advocate animals’ rights.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】

Among my friends, one topic seems to dominate our conversations: bones. It makes sense, given that 20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis (骨质疏松) and that more than half have bone loss. For men, the figures are lower: 4 percent and a third. Worldwide, one out of three women over 50 and one out of five older men will develop a fracture (骨折). Another reason for the endless argument about bone problems is mass confusion over how best to strengthen your bones and whether diet really makes a difference.
Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health haven’t been consistent. But gradually some clarity is emerging. As we draw up resolutions for what to eat, it’s useful to look at new data on vitamin D. Calcium is the key element for building bones, and vitamin D helps to absorb calcium from the food we eat, so doctors often recommend D supplements (补充剂) to make up for age-related bone loss.
But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors. That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that these supplements do not improve bone density (密度). “Food and sun exposure likely provide enough vitamin D for healthy adults,” says Meryl LeBoff, who led the study.
What does help maintain strong bones for all of us? The easy answer is food high in calcium, such as milk and tofu. Getting it from food is best, LeBoff says, “because there are so many other nutrients (营养物质), and you have a more continuous absorption than with D supplements.”
The other key element of bone health involves calories out rather than calories in. Weight-bearing exercise stimulates bone formation throughout life. So while focusing on better nutritional choices, add more exercise to your daily menu.
12. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 emphasize?
A. The seriousness of bone problems.
B. The concern about senior citizens.
C. The confusion about strengthening bones.
D. The importance of having a balanced diet.
13. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply?
A. Diet research is no longer a challenge.
B. We’ve made resolutions to study diets.
C. Findings on bone health prove to be similar.
D. We begin to agree on ways to keep bones healthy.
14. What can be inferred from the recent study?
A. People can absorb vitamin D in food easily.
B. The findings go against LeBoffs earlier ones.
C. D supplements play a minor role than expected.
D. Fractures are linked with weight-bearing exercise.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. A recipe for better bones B. Your bones cry!
C. The magic of D supplements D. Vitamin D wins!
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章一项研究表明服用D补充剂五年并不能降低老年人的骨折率,但高钙食物和运动有助于增强骨骼健康。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“It makes sense, given that 20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis (骨质疏松) and that more than half have bone loss. For men, the figures are lower: 4 percent and a third. Worldwide, one out of three women over 50 and one out of five older men will develop a fracture (骨折). (考虑到20%的50岁以上的美国女性患有骨质疏松症,超过一半的女性患有骨质疏松,这是有道理的。对于男性来说,这一数字更低:4%和三分之一。在全球范围内,三分之一的50岁以上女性和五分之一的老年男性会发生骨折)”可知,骨骼问题很普遍,第一段中的统计数据强调了骨骼问题的严重性。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。由第二段中的“Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health haven’t been consistent. (饮食研究总是一团糟,关于营养和骨骼健康的研究结果也不一致)”可知,but表转折,前文讲关于营养和骨骼健康的研究结果也不一致,后文应该讲就保持骨骼健康上大家达成了共识,再结合本段中的“so doctors often recommend D supplements (补充剂) to make up for age-related bone loss (所以医生经常建议补充D来弥补与年龄相关的骨质流失)”可知,划线句表明“我们开始就保持骨骼健康的方法达成一致”。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的“But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors. That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that these supplements do not improve bone density (密度). (但最近的一项研究发现,服用D补充剂五年并不能降低老年人的骨折率。这一结果建立在由同一团队领导的早期发现的基础上,即这些补充剂不能提高骨密度)”和第四段中的“because there are so many other nutrients (营养物质), and you have a more continuous absorption than with D supplements (因为还有很多其他营养素,而且比起D补充剂你更能持续吸收它们)”可推知,D补充剂的作用比预期的要小。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由第三段中的“But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors. (但最近的一项研究发现,服用D补充剂五年并不能降低老年人的骨折率)”,第三段中的“Food and sun exposure likely provide enough vitamin D for healthy adults (食物和阳光照射可能为健康成年人提供足够的维生素D)”,第四段中的“What does help maintain strong bones for all of us? The easy answer is food high in calcium, such as milk and tofu. (什么有助于我们所有人保持强壮的骨骼?简单的答案是高钙食物,比如牛奶和豆腐)”和最后一段中的“So while focusing on better nutritional choices, add more exercise to your daily menu. (因此,在关注更好的营养选择的同时,在你的日常菜单中增加更多的运动)”可知,文章一项研究表明服用D补充剂五年并不能降低老年人的骨折率,但高钙食物和运动有助于增强骨骼健康,A项“更好骨骼的秘诀”符合文意。故选A项。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

It’s the start of the new school year, and most college students now know what’s expected for their classes. But one rule troubles some students — the laptop rule, which limits or stops the use of laptops for note-taking in class.
How students take notes, whether typing on a laptop or writing by hand, is a topic of debate among students. ____16____, and they prefer to use their laptops. However, I personally support the laptop rule.
____17____. Psychologists Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer have found that taking notes on laptops is less effective than taking notes by hand. Compared to typing on a keyboard, writing by hand increases our memory, and makes for better understanding in our brains and better understanding when our brains read our handwritten notes again for test preparation.
Plus, laptops are also distracting (令人分心的). ____18____. In many classes, I’ve seen students using laptops to go on social media, play games, or read news. The back-and-forth between taking notes and looking at Twitter on bright computer screens nearby steals my attention away from the lecture, which is not fair to me.
There are some situations where laptops are allowed. Students with learning or physical disabilities should have the choice to use their laptops to take notes. It might be easier for them to take notes on a keyboard. ____19____, they should not be given the same choice.
During class time, students should focus on their teacher and the lesson. ____20____, it’s best to take notes with pen and paper.
A. Since students who use laptops take more notes
B. If they want to learn something from a class or lecture
C. However, since most students don’t have such problems
D. Using a laptop influences others, not just the person using it
E. Some students say they have the right to choose how to take notes
F. It is a popular belief that taking notes on a laptop is quick and easy
G. If learning is students’ goal, using a laptop during class is a terrible idea
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. D 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了关于课堂上是否应该使用笔记本电脑记笔记的争议,作者支持限制或禁止使用笔记本电脑记笔记的规定。
16题详解】
上文“How students take notes, whether typing on a laptop or writing by hand, is a topic of debate among students.(学生如何记笔记,是用笔记本电脑打字还是手写,是学生之间争论的话题)”说明学生之间对于记笔记的方式存在争议。E选项“Some students say they have the right to choose how to take notes(一些学生表示,他们有权选择如何记笔记)”承接上文,提出了一部分学生的观点,即他们认为自己有选择记笔记方式的权利,这与上文提到的争议话题相呼应,同时句中“Some students”是下文“they”指代对象。故选E项。
【17题详解】
下文“Psychologists Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer have found that taking notes on laptops is less effective than taking notes by hand.(心理学家Pam Mueller和Daniel Oppenheimer发现,用笔记本电脑记笔记的效果不如手写记笔记)”提出了心理学家发现笔记本电脑记笔记的效果不如手写记笔记,引用研究结论解释了G选项“If learning is students’ goal, using a laptop during class is a terrible idea(如果学习是学生的目标,那么在课堂上使用笔记本电脑是一个糟糕的主意)”中提出的观点,证明了为什么在课堂上使用笔记本电脑是一个糟糕的主意。故选G项。
【18题详解】
下文“In many classes, I’ve seen students using laptops to go on social media, play games, or read news. The back-and-forth between taking notes and looking at Twitter on bright computer screens nearby steals my attention away from the lecture, which is not fair to me.(在很多课堂上,我看到学生们用笔记本电脑浏览社交媒体、玩游戏或者看新闻。在明亮的电脑屏幕上,一会儿记笔记一会儿看推特这种来回切换的行为把我的注意力从课堂上吸引走了,这对我不公平)”作者描述了自己在课堂上因其他人使用笔记本电脑而分散注意力的现象。是对D选项“Using a laptop influences others, not just the person using it(使用笔记本电脑会影响他人,而不仅仅是使用者本身)”中观点的举例说明,即使用笔记本电脑记笔记不仅影响自己,还会影响其他人。故选D项。
【19题详解】
上文“Students with learning or physical disabilities should have the choice to use their laptops to take notes. It might be easier for them to take notes on a keyboard.(有学习障碍或身体残疾的学生应该可以选择使用笔记本电脑记笔记。对他们来说,用键盘记笔记可能更容易)”提出了特殊情况下的例外,即允许有学习障碍或身体残疾的学生使用笔记本电脑记笔记。C选项“However, since most students don’t have such problems(然而,由于大多数学生没有这样的问题)”转折上文,提出了大多数学生并不属于特殊情况,因此不应该享有同样的选择权,这与上文形成对比,使论证更加严密,句中“such problems”指代上文中“learning or physical disabilities”。故选C项。
【20题详解】
下文“it’s best to take notes with pen and paper.(最好用钢笔和纸记笔记)”提出了建议,即使用传统的记笔记方式。B选项“If they want to learn something from a class or lecture(如果他们想从课堂或讲座中学到东西)”引出下文,提出了学习是记笔记的目的,因此选择最有效的记笔记方式是很重要的,这与下文的建议相呼应。故选B项。

【答案】My Weekend
In order to release the pressure resulting from our study, I went to Xingxing Farm to pick some oranges together with my classmates last weekend.
Hardly had we arrived at the farm when we saw many oranges hanging from the branches. A farmer told us how to pick oranges. Then each of us carried a basket and a pair of scissors, quickly climbed up the ladder and started to pick oranges. Bathed in sunshine, we sang and laughed while picking oranges. After we paid for the oranges we picked, we prepared to go back to school.
What a wonderful time we had! Not only did it give us relaxation, but also it got us closer to nature.

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Having taken part in the interschool storytelling championship for the past two years, I was a shining star of my school. When it came to choosing the right candidate to participate in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year.
Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends acknowledged that I would undoubtedly emerge as the champion again. Consequently, I became conceited (自负的). I was so proud that I neglected the importance of practicing for the contest.
A week before the contest, my teacher Ms. Sara asked, “Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to rehearse for the contest?” She had tutored me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was. “Just imagine you are on the stage in the presence of the audience,” she added. “I’m sorry, Ms. Sara,” I replied. “I have a bit of a sore throat.” This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practice in front of the class. I always found excuses to avoid doing it because I believed that I was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary. On one occasion, I even told Ms. Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest. In fact, I did everything but practice my script. I only managed to glance briefly through the story the day before the contest. As the best storyteller among the students of the local secondary schools. I was too vain to practice and expected everything to be fine.
The contest was being held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was packed. My school teachers and principal were there along with many of my classmates and schoolmates. I was the eighth contestant out of twenty in total. ‘Those who spoke before me did extremely well. On seeing their fascinating and outstanding performance, I began to lose confidence in myself. My palms sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Soon it was my turn to talk. Facing the crowd, I found myself suffering from stage fright. I spoke nervously and even stuttered a few times as I forgot parts of the story. My legs trembled and so did my voice. On seeing my terrible performance, the judges shook their heads. The supporters from my school looked at me in disappointment. I had never been so embarrassed in my life. In the end, I walked off the stage, with my eyes filled with tears.
Finally, results were announced after the contest. I felt sad, because I did not win any prizes, which was not surprising at all. I felt rather ashamed when I faced my classmates and of course, Ms. Sara. I regretted my foolish behavior. On the following day, I went to visit Ms. Sara and apologized. Ms. Sara held my hands, seriously saying, “It’s OK. But from this, you should learn that pride goes before a fall and that practice makes perfect.” I nodded my head and promised to keep this experience as a life-long reminder.
