24、My boss’s daughter was studying in the Philippines. He asked me if my husband and I could take care of her. He thought his daughter would be able to improve her English communication skills in this way.

After days of thinking, we agreed. He then brought her here and left after 3 days. I thought that my boss’s daughter was well-mannered, but that was wrong.

After a month of staying in the Philippines, she started to show her true colors. When my husband asked her what she wanted for breakfast, she answered him in a rude way. From then on, we experienced fights at home. There was a time when we didn’t talk to her for a week as a punishment of not being good to us. What I hated most was that she didn’t care about other people’s feelings. She ate ahead of us when we were still working and didn’t leave anything for us. So we had to separate her food from ours to avoid such a problem.

The worst thing about her was that she shouted at us. I was wondering if she did this to her parents. We told this to her parents, but unfortunately I didn’t think that solved the problem. This situation lasted for almost 8 months. Our patience was tested during that time.

We tried to teach her everything we could to make her a better person, but I guess 8 months may not to be enough. We even tried to understand her and adjust for her, but it didn’t work. I just hope that she learned something from us and from other Filipinos.

26、 “I am a selfish child.

I am a selfish child.

I hope there is a corner of the world that can comfort me when I am sad.

I am a selfish child.

I hope my mum belongs only to me, so I can enjoy the sweetness of love.”

This poem was written by a middle school student in a lonely mountainous town in Yunnan Province during her first poetry class. The girl missed her mother, who died when she was 5.

Kang Yu, the teacher who taught the girl how to write the poem, graduated from Renmin University of China in Beijing in 2015. Soon after her graduation, Kang moved to a town in Yunnan, and worked as a teacher at a middle school.

Kang said, “Compared with students in the city, perhaps students in the countryside need a way to express their feelings and be heard more.” Supported by the headmaster and other teachers, the school held eight poetry classes for students every year.

As the classes grew in popularity, Kang became the school’s favorite teacher. After she finished her teaching at the school in June 2017, she returned to Beijing and planned to study abroad.

However, on Teachers’ Day in 2017, Kang received a big box full of poems and letters written by students at her old school. She felt she was needed and decided to abandon her plan of studying abroad. Instead she set up Enlighten our Future, a charity that teaches students in the countryside how to write poems.

“Now, I go to several places every week. I sleep less than six hours a night and the job provides no vacations and little money, but the happiness and satisfaction I feel is rewarding enough.” Kang said.

A．A world which is full of love.

B．A mother who misses her child.

C．A child who is in need of mother’s love.

D．A child who can feel the sun’s warmth.

B．give up.

C．put off.

D．look up.

【3】Which of the following information is true according to the passage?

A．There was a school named Enlighten Our Future which Kang had ever worked.

B．The school held eight poetry classes for students every term.

C．Kang said she was doing a well-paid job and had some vacations.

27、Our class was great. But things turned upside down when Martin Mackenzie arrived. Martin was loud, rude and had a bad temper (脾气).You never knew what might make him angry, so it was best to keep out of his way. On the last day of term, my friend Harley said to me. “Martin’s looking at you.” he said. I was scared, and I didn’t know what to do. I looked at Martin and tried to smile. Martin didn't smile back…

“You’re in trouble now, Josh,” Harley said. “Martin’s going to do something mean (卑鄙的) to you.” “I haven’t done anything to him,” I said. “Why would he do something mean to me?” “He doesn’t need a reason. It’s just how he is.” I kept away from Martin at lunch time. I smiled as I went to the car park after school. I was safe from Martin for the holidays. But suddenly, a voice called out, “See you on Monday, Josh!” I turned and saw Martin looking at me. “What are you talking about?” I asked. “Didn’t your mum tell you?” Martin said. “I’m staying with you for the next two weeks.”

“Please tell me Martin Mackenzie isn’t coming to stay over the holidays, Mum,” I said, as I got into the car. “Yes, he is,” Mum said. “His mother has to work, and I said I’d help her. Is that a problem?” “Yep, it is. He’s a bully (恃强欺弱者), and everyone is scared of him,” I said. Mum frowned. “I’ve given my word, Josh__You will just have to get along.”

On Monday morning, Martin arrived. “Good morning, Mrs Grey,” he said. “Thank you for allowing me to stay. Good morning, Josh. It’s wonderful to see you again.” This wasn’t the Martin I knew. Wait until we’re alone, I thought. Then his good manners will disappear, and he’ll be horrible (可怕的) again. I was right! As soon as Mum was gone, Martin turned mean. He took over everything, and there was nothing I could do about. It was going to be a long two weeks…

I told Mum how horrible Martin was to me. “I’ve just had a talk to Martin’s mum about that,”

she said. “You need to know something.” “What?” I asked. “Martin's dad left.” Mum said. “So his mother moved the family every time she found a better job. Martin used to make new friends, but they always forgot about him when he moved. I think he’s unfriendly from the start, so he won’t be

disappointed (失望的) when he leaves.” I looked at Mum. “1 feel sorry for him,” I said. But he is still horrible. “What can I do?” “Treat him like your best friend --- no matter how he acts,” Mum said.

It was hard work, but I kept at it over the next two weeks. At last, Martin stopped bullying me. That was when I found out he was a nice kid.

Martin’s mum was excited when she came to get him on the last day. “Martin! I’ve decided my new job is perfect, so we won’t have to move again!” Martin smiled. “Now I can keep my friends!” he said. “But, there’s a problem. Everyone’s scared of me.”

“Maybe we can fix that,” I said. When Martin and his mum left. I had a word with Mum. We invited my whole class to a party. Martin was very polite and made lots of new friends that night.
