We went to an outdoor basketball field for a game of one-on-one. At that time, Claude was taller than me. He was also better at basketball. Over time, I fell behind. I made up my mind, drove hard to the basket, and missed it! The ball bounced off the rim (从篮筐弹回). Just as I jumped up to catch it, I saw an elbow(肘) above my face. When Claude caught the ball, his elbow hit my eye hard. I saw stars everywhere. The pain was terrible. Claude kept saying “sorry” over and over. I laughed through the pain. I spent the next few days walking around with a black eye, but I didn’t mind. For years afterwards, I got a laugh whenever I told the story and joked about Claude’s elbow of death.

But he would come back and help to harvest rice every year. One autumn, he promised to help our neighbor, who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999, to harvest his rice. After he harvested our own, his little rice picker broke. What’s worse, he had to return to work the next day because his partner was ill in hospital. It meant that he wouldn’t be back in a few days.

He decided to harvest by hand without a machine. “If tonight’s weather is clear, I think I can do it,” added my father. In fact, he was rather tired after a day’s harvest work. After dinner, he had a short rest and made his way to the field. A full moon was glowing (发光) in the sky and the weather was cold but clear. He spent the whole night keeping his word.

Back then, I was so d 2 at being too short and failing to get on the basketball team. Basketball was really a big d 3 for me. But things changed soon after that. I was so hurt by my failure back then, and my friends were all worried. “Why not try something else, like swimming or skiing?” s 4 my best friend. At first, I swam just to take my mind o 5 things. But soon, I fell completely in love with the sport. I’ve won several competitions now and I’ve made a lot of friends. My life has taken a different t 6 . It’s great to look back and see my pains and gains with fresh eyes. Growing up will never be an e 7 thing. I know clearly that failure l 8 just a moment. When one door c 9 , another opens. Life is waiting for us with many other s 10 . Passage 9 I still remember the first day I met Jane. When she w 1 into the classroom, all the students were very s 2 because there was a big red birthmark on her face. Jane didn’t care at all a 3 some bad boys laughed at her. Instead, she was always smiling. I wanted to know why Jane could always be so happy. So one day, I went to her and asked if she knew there was a red b 4 on her face. She replied that of course she knew. Whenever she looked in the m 5 , she could see it. “Then how can you live h 6 all the time? Don’t you think the mark m 7 you strange?” I asked. “No, actually, the mark makes me special. I always tell m 8 that I have no way to decide what I look like, b 9 I can decide what I want to be. I’m much luckier than those that can’t walk or run. At least I’m a healthy person,” Jane answered with a smile. Jane’s words opened a new world for me. At that moment, I understood the world b 10 than before. If the world is looked from a very bright way, some bad things will be good gifts. Passage 10 Choosing a career is a big choice, but it doesn’t have to be scary (可怕的). Some people already know what they want to do, while others need more time. The key is to find work that m 1 your interests and skills—you’ll be happier doing what you love. Think about what excites you most. Do you like s 2 problems and working with numbers? You might want to work in technology or engineering. If you are w 3 to help people, try fields like healthcare or teaching. However, it’s not only about what you like—your skills m 4 too. Are you great at talking to people and understanding their needs? Or are you better at solving puzzles and using technology? Some people are amazing at maths and science, while others are b 5 with creativity and communication. You don’t just want a job you’re good at. You a 6 want one that you enjoy. When you join love and skills together, your work becomes l 7 of a “job” and more of something you really enjoy. Moreover, when you love w 8 you do, it’s easier to feel happier at the end of the day. But it’s also important to think about the job market and chances. If you live in a place full of technology companies, jobs in programming or engineering may be more s 9 . One more thing: your career path isn’t set in stone. People c 10 careers all the time! It’s okay if you start one job and then decide you want to try something new. What’s important is to keep learning and growing along the way. 五、书面表达 Passage 11 奋斗的道路不会一帆风顺。我们每个人在生活和学习上都会遇到这样那样的困境。你遇到困难时是怎样解决的呢？请以“How to get over difficulty”为题写一篇英语短文，讲述你的一次经历和感悟。内容包括： (1) 你遇到了什么困难； (2) 你是怎样克服困难的； (3) 你的感受。 注意： (1) 词数80～100，开头已给出，不计入总词数； (2) 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； (3) 文中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称。 提示词：confidence (自信n.) courage (勇气n.)
