One teacher said she should be more “ladylike” and try not to win all the time, but her parents didn’t agree. “Play as well as you can and be the best you can be!” They told her. One Saturday afternoon, Mary’s friend Susan asked her to play tennis. Mary didn’t know what “tennis” was, but it sounded exciting! When they arrived at the Virginia Club, there were ladies wearing expensive tennis dresses. Mary felt quite out of place in her T-shirt and shorts! But she felt much better when she got out onto the tennis court. Mary spent more time hitting the air than she did hitting the ball. The ladies around tutted (发出啧啧声), but she didn’t care. The next morning, her mom took her to meet Clyde. “I’m Clyde, your coach (教练)!” he said, “Come on in!” Clyde taught her patiently. The more Mary learned, the more fun she had. “I want to be the best tennis player in the world!” She asked her coach, “Clyde, can you make me a champion (冠军)?” He just smiled, “No, Mary. But with hard work, you can make it.” Mary took his words to heart, so she kept practicing day and night. One day, she was invited to the Los Angeles Club. All the players were waiting in line for a group photo when a man came up. “You can’t be in the photo!” he said, “You’re not wearing a skirt or dress!” Mary was angry. She told herself, “I’ll show them one day! Everybody will know who I am, and they’ll all want to copy my style!” And Mary did! She never gave up or let others tell her how she should behave.

Mike and I talked about making a large vegetable garden somewhere in our yard, but we couldn’t agree on where. Before we went to dig up the grass, we spent some time thinking about where it would work best. At last, we chose an old sandbox (沙坑) in our front yard to become our garden. We dreamed about a lively garden with lots of vegetables. We asked many people what we should do to turn this sandbox into a space, then plants can grow in it. And they gave us lots of ideas. My sister was the most knowledgeable, so we listened mostly to her. At first, Mike made a wood fence (栅栏) and I painted it with the kids. Next, Mike dug 17 holes. Then we filled them with soil (土壤). Maybe it was still too cold to plant anything. To me, it looked much too untidy. I decided to fill those holes back and dig new ones. Over the next few weeks, I worked on getting everything planted in my garden. I started by planting green onion. But I was too excited and planted it too early. Right away it was clear that it wasn’t going to survive (存活). I had to give it up and try something else. Then my next door neighbor gave me red roses to put in my garden.

I didn’t have enough money to fix it, so that term I had to get up at 5:00 a.m. every day to take the bus.”可知，十年前，Sue的车在上学的路上抛锚了，Sue没有足够的钱来修理它，所以那个学期Sue不得不每天早上5点起床去坐公交车；可推测出“broke down”意为“抛锚”。故选A。 3．篇章结构题。根据最后一段中“Some weeks ago, I helped a Malaysian friend Andrew move his things into my apartment. He lost his job and needed a place to stay. But I hurt my back when carrying some heavy boxes. It was really bad, so I had to go to the hospital.

Her monumental day was bag 100 in Ohio on day 16. Stefani shared what she did online and a lot of people got interested. They donated (捐赠) $10 a bag for Stefani to clean up in their names. The person’s name was written on a bag and when the bag was filled, Stefani posted a picture on her Instagram, thanking the person for helping clean up the city she was in. Some people even cleaned up the city in person and sent Stefani pictures of bags of trash they picked up. And once when Stefani was walking on the beach in Florida, and she started doing a bag, two women saw her and started helping her fill the bag. This surprised Stefani a lot.

Mike and I talked about making a large vegetable garden somewhere in our yard, but we couldn’t agree on where. Before we went to dig up the grass, we spent some time thinking about where it would work best. At last, we chose an old sandbox (沙坑) in our front yard to become our garden. We dreamed about a lively garden with lots of vegetables. We asked many people what we should do to turn this sandbox into a space, then plants can grow in it. And they gave us lots of ideas. My sister was the most knowledgeable, so we listened mostly to her. At first, Mike made a wood fence (栅栏) and I painted it with the kids. Next, Mike dug 17 holes. Then we filled them with soil (土壤). Maybe it was still too cold to plant anything. To me, it looked much too untidy. I decided to fill those holes back and dig new ones. Over the next few weeks, I worked on getting everything planted in my garden. I started by planting green onion. But I was too excited and planted it too early. Right away it was clear that it wasn’t going to survive (存活). I had to give it up and try something else. Then my next door neighbor gave me red roses to put in my garden.
