It was from a little accident when she was a kid. Every summer, she would wear long-sleeved clothes even on hot days to hide it. She was afraid that her classmates would laugh at her or look at her strangely. One day, her class had a party. All her classmates wore beautiful short dresses or T-shirts except Lily. Her best friend Lucy noticed this and sat next to her. "Why do you always wear long sleeves?" Lucy asked gently. Lily told her about the scar and her fear. To Lily’s surprise, Lucy didn’t laugh. She took Lily’s hand and said, "This scar is part of you. It shows what you’ve been through, and it makes you special. You don’t need to hide it." Then Lucy rolled up her own sleeve and showed Lily a small mark on her wrist. "I have one too, but I never hide it. Being different is not a bad thing." Lily looked at Lucy’s smile and felt warm in her heart. That day, she took off her long-sleeved shirt and wore a short T-shirt. She found that no one laughed at her—instead, many classmates told her she looked confident. From then on, Lily learned to accept her scar and love herself just as she was. 1.

Tom loved playing basketball and dreamed of being a basketball player when he was young. But he was much shorter than other boys of his age. Many people said he could never be a good basketball player because of his height. At first, Tom felt very sad and wanted to give up. His PE teacher noticed his sadness and said to him, "Height is not everything. What matters most is your effort and persistence." Encouraged by his teacher, Tom decided to keep trying. He practiced basketball every morning and evening. He ran to build up his strength, practiced shooting again and again, and learned new skills from his coach. There were many difficult times. Once, he hurt his knee during practice and couldn’t play for a month. Some people told him it was time to stop, but Tom didn’t give up. When he recovered, he practiced even harder. After years of hard work, Tom joined his school’s basketball team. He played very well and helped his team win many games. Later, he even became the captain of the team. Tom’s story tells us: doubts and fears can’t stop us. As long as we keep trying and never give up, we can achieve our dreams. Nothing is impossible for a person who sticks to his goal. 6.

What can we learn from Tom’s story? A. Height is the most important for a basketball player B. We should give up when facing difficulties C. Persistence and effort can help us achieve our dreams D. Dreams are always impossible to realize C Everyone may have imperfactions or face difficulties in life. Some people choose to hide their imperfactions and run away from difficulties, while others learn to accept themselves and fight against challenges. These two different choices will bring different results. Accepting ourselves is the first step to being happy. No one is perfect. Some people may feel bad about their looks, their skills or their personalities. But if we always focus on our imperfactions, we will feel upset and lose confidence. Instead, if we learn to accept our imperfactions and see our own advantages, we will become more confident and live a happier life. Just like Lily, who once hid her scar but finally accepted it and found her confidence. Facing difficulties bravely is also very important for us to grow up. Life is not always smooth. We may meet all kinds of challenges, such as poor grades, physical disadvantages or failures. But these difficulties are not obstacles—they are chances for us to grow. As Tom did, he didn’t give up because of his short height. He kept practicing and finally achieved his dream. In fact, accepting ourselves and facing challenges are closely connected. Only when we love and accept ourselves can we have the courage to face difficulties. And when we overcome challenges, we will learn more about ourselves and love ourselves more. 11. What will happen if we always focus on our imperfactions? A. We will become more confident B. We will feel upset and lose confidence C. We will achieve our dreams quickly D. We will make more friends 12. How did Lily change after accepting her scar? A. She became more confident B. She still hid her scar C. She felt more upset D. She stopped talking to her classmates 13. What does the underlined word "obstacles" mean in Chinese? A. 机会 B. 障碍 C. 礼物 D. 奖励 14. What is the connection between accepting ourselves and facing challenges? A. They have no connection B. Facing challenges comes first C. Accepting ourselves helps us have the courage to face challenges D. Facing challenges makes us hate ourselves 15. What is the main idea of this passage? A. We should hide our imperfactions B. We should run away from difficulties C. Accepting ourselves and facing challenges help us grow D Anna was a shy girl who didn’t like to talk to others. She thought she was not good at anything—she couldn’t sing well, couldn’t dance, and even couldn’t speak English fluently. She always stayed in the corner of the classroom and never took part in any activities. She was afraid that others would laugh at her mistakes. One day, her English teacher asked everyone to give a short speech in class. Anna felt very worried. She wanted to refuse, but her teacher said, "Anna, I believe you can do it. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Trying is more important than being perfect." With her teacher’s encouragement, Anna began to prepare for the speech. She practiced reading her speech every day after school. At first, she spoke very slowly and made many mistakes. But she didn’t give up. She asked her teacher and classmates for help, and corrected her mistakes one by one. On the day of the speech, Anna was very nervous. But when she saw her teacher’s encouraging eyes, she took a deep breath and began to speak. She spoke clearly and confidently. When she finished, all her classmates clapped for her. Anna felt very happy. From this experience, Anna learned that she was not as bad as she thought. She also learned that everyone has their own advantages, and making mistakes is just a part of learning. Now, Anna is no longer shy. She takes part in many activities and makes more friends. She knows that as long as she dares to try, she can do anything. 16. Why didn’t Anna like to talk to others? A. Because she was too busy B. Because she was shy and thought she was not good at anything C. Because she didn’t like her classmates D. Because she couldn’t speak Chinese well 17. What did Anna’s English teacher ask her to do? A. To sing a song in class B. To dance for the class C. To give a short speech D. To write an English article 18. How did Anna prepare for the speech? A. She practiced every day and asked for help B. She did nothing but worry C. She asked her friend to give the speech for her D. She copied others’ speeches 19. How did Anna feel after the speech? A. Sad and angry B. Happy and proud C. Nervous and scared D. Bored and tired 20. What did Anna learn from this experience? A. She should never make mistakes B. She was not good at anything C. Trying is more important than being perfect D.
