I was the oldest of five children back in the 60’s.We lived in a nice little three-bedroom bungalow(平房)in Michigan.Mom and Dad worked so hard, yet always found the time to spend with us.The only place they could take five active children to was the drive-in(汽车影院)movies!

We always looked forward to going to the drive-in! Mom would fill a big bag with home-made popcorn.On the way there, Dad would make a special stop at the penny candy store, where we were all allowed to fill a little brown bag with all kinds of penny candy.We were so excited, as we carried our treasures back to the car, knowing we couldn’t eat it until the car-toon began.

We would get there early, so that we could play on the playground, right under the big screen.As soon as it started to get dark, the screen lit up, and we would race bake to the car to get our candy.

There were always two cartoons playing before the movie , like Felix the Cat, The Coyote, and Tom and Jerry. But what was just as exciting was the ticking clock advertisement for the refreshment stand, with dancing hot dogs, candy and ice cream.That came on right before the movie.It was all that five kids could hope for, and by then, stay awake for.

We would get home around 2 am, pretty late for us.Mom helped us drag ourselves and our pillows to our beds and dad carried in the little ones.

I was disappointed the day they closed the last drive-in in our town.It will always hold special memories for us—those days of penny candy.

1.What could the author eat when he watched the cartoons and movies?

A. Hot dogs B. Ice cream.

C. Hamburgers. D. Popcorn and candy.

2.What does the underlined phrase “our treasures” in the second paragraph refer to?

A. Mom and dad. B. The penny candy.

C. Favorite cartoons. D. Homemade popcorn.

3.What was the last show before the movie?

A. Felix the Cat. B. Tom and Jerry.

C. The dancing hot dogs. D. The ticking clock advertisement.

4.What do we know about the author?

A. He had a boring childhood. B. He had four younger brothers.

C. He missed the drive-in very much. D. He didn’t like watching the movies at all.

2.As a famous saying goes,life turns on small things.Sometimes it's hard to see how small choices can change your life.But when put together over time,the little things can make the biggest difference.
The theme of SUCCESS of Teens is"Little Things Matter."The book helps teens identify small,positive choices they can make in their lives to help them reach their goals.Lots of teens don't realize how the little choices in their lives can have lasting effects.Often they are focused on the bigger events,such as a major exam,a big game or competition,or choosing a college.The little things,however,can go unnoticed unless your teen understands how important they can be.
The little things that lead to success are mostly easy to do.Help your teen identify a few areas in everyday life where he or she can make small,positive choices.It might be as simple as getting up on time,planning to do their homework,putting in an extra 10minutes of practice or using some spare time to help someone else.
Eighteen-year-old George Fred used to be on his school baseball team and would play every day after school.When the season was over,he had an empty three hours a day,so he started spending one third of such extra time daily,looking for ways to help other kids.Over the last few years,his project has raised thousands of dollars to help abused,homeless and sick children.Fred spent just a little time each day doing something that ended up benefiting a lot of kids.The important thing to understand is that Fred made the small and positive decisions necessary for success.
Make sure your child understands that even though the results of the positive choices may not be seen right away,they are building on each other and taking him or her on a path that will lead to success.

54.What does the underlined part"turns on"in Paragraph 1probably mean?B
A.takes away
B.depends on
C.sets aside
D.puts out
55.We learn from Paragraph 2 thatD.
A.dealing with big events is the most important in one's life.
B.Little choices seldom have lasting effects on one's life.
C.Teens should try to focus their attention on big choices.
D.many teens fail to realize the importance of little choices.
56.What is the passage mainly talking about?C
A.the relationship between little choices and big choices.
B.the relationship between teens'goals and their actions.
C.the relationship between small positive choices and success.
D.the relationship between positive and negative decisions.
