Since everyone knows each other, the newcomer almost always feels left out. Sadly, that “newcomer” was me. I stood nervously in front of my new class. Everyone welcomed me, but I was too shy to say much and quickly took my seat. At break time, I went to the bathroom and filled my water bottle alone. I thought I would feel lonely, but experiencing it still felt heavy. Our first lesson was English. This school was moving much faster than my old one. What’s more, my classmates’ pronunciation and grammar were much better than mine. All of this made me worried. Then came PE class. I was glad to finally take a break. I sat under a tree, watching others play badminton. Suddenly, I heard a soft voice, “Help…” I turned around and saw a girl who had fainted (昏厥) in the hallway. I rushed to help her right away. “Help! Help!” I called to the teacher. Together, we carried her to the school nurse. Luckily, she only had low blood sugar. After some rest, she was fine again. But when I got back to the classroom, something changed. Some of my classmates asked me about the girl. Others said I was really brave. One person even asked if I wanted to walk home together after school. At that moment, I realized that I had found my place in this new school—not by trying to fit in, but by helping someone when they needed it most. 23. How did the author feel on the first day at the new school? A. Excited and happy. B. Nervous and lonely. C. Angry and upset. D. Bored and tired. 24. What does the word “heavy” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Light. B. Low. C. Interesting. D. Easy. 25. What caused the girl to faint? A. She had a bad cold. B. She fell down and hurt her leg. C. She had low blood sugar. D. She was scared of PE class. 26. What did the writer learn from this experience? A. It is important to study hard to fit in. B. Playing sports helps make new friends. C. Changing schools is the worst thing in the world. D. Helping others can help you become part of a group. C You Can Be “Somebody” Too When we are young, many of us dream of becoming “somebody” when we grow up. But without enough strength or support, that dream can feel very far away. Sometimes, we may have strange ideas: should we just give up and “lie flat”? But the little pig and his three friends from the cartoon Nobody didn’t choose to do that. This past summer, their story made tens of millions of people in China happy and gave them hope. These four little unknown monsters pretend (假装) to be the famous team from Journey to the West. They leave their home on Langlang Mountain and start their own adventure (冒险). Along the way, many other monsters laugh at their dream. But the little pig monster and his friends don’t give up. They keep fighting “bad guys” and try to live life their own way. Some say Nobody is not just a movie—it’s more like a mirror. In real life, many common people also choose to hold on to their dreams, even when things are very hard. One of them is Pang Zhongwang. 26 years ago, he was born a poor “nobody” in the countryside of Hebei. This “nobody” also dreamed of becoming “somebody”. Even with all these difficulties, Pang grew up positive (乐观的) and cheerful, influenced by his mother. Through great efforts, he is now a top student at Tsinghua University. So, what will you do with your big dreams? It’s clear—if you choose to “lie flat,” you will always be a “nobody”. We wish you good luck as you try to break out of your own “Langlang Mountain”! 27. Why do the four little monsters from Nobody leave Langlang Mountain? A. They look for food and new homes. B. They escape from other laughing monsters. C. They want to find their lost family members. D. They start their own adventure as a posing as a famous team. 28. What can we learn about Pang Zhongwang from the passage? A. He was born in a rich family in Hebei. B. His mother influenced him to be positive. C. He got into Tsinghua University by chance. D. He gave up his dream when facing difficulties. 29. What does the writer think of the four little monsters’ adventure? A. Their courage is worth remembering. B. They had better give up their foolish dream. C. Their failure makes their story lose its value. D. They are much luckier than most common people. 30. What is the main message of this passage? A. Nobody is the most popular cartoon in China this summer. B. Poor students like Pang Zhongwang can always enter top universities. C. Common people can become “somebodies” by holding on to their dreams. D. The four little monsters in Nobody are more famous than Pang Zhongwang.

If we stop studying, we will be left behind by others. To become a good learner, I think we should make a study plan, listen carefully in class, and review lessons on time. Asking questions when having difficulties is also helpful. I still remember when I first learned English. It was hard for me to remember new words. But I kept practicing every day. Slowly, my English improved a lot. This experience taught me that persistence is important. Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
