    “I didn’t hear them call my name,” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2013. “Are you ready?” is what she heard. Then she said, “I shook my head no, and then they said ‘yes’ and it was announced again."
    It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana—she was still on cloud nine.
    “I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen.” Present in the audience(观众)that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.
    Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete. “She’s always been my role model. I’ve danced with her since I was six. She’s been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I’ve learned to get over bad life’s experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”
    One of those bad life’s experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot...”
    As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.
    When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don’t let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself.
    小题1:The underlined words “on cloud nine” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________.
    A．frightened B．troubled C．very happy D．very angry
    小题2:Shelley takes her dance teacher as a role model mainly because she is _______.
    A．determined B．friendly C．strict D．experienced
    小题3:What did Shelley often do after she became Miss Louisiana Teen?
    A．She visited drunken drivers.
    B．She gave dance performance.
    C．She made speeches on safe driving.
    D．She helped other teens with their studies.
    小题4:What suggestion does Shelley give to the teens?
    A．Be yourself with the support of friends.
    B．Meet friends whenever possible.
    C．Go easy on yourself and others.
    D．Have a good role model.

    小题1:C
    小题2:A
    小题3:C
    小题4:A

    试题分析：文章讲述的是2013年“美国小姐”Shelley的故事。Shelley的舞蹈老师是她的精神支柱，Shelley的哥哥死于一场由醉驾酿成的车祸，从那以后，Shelley就通过写作来度过那个悲痛的时期。Shelley在路易斯安那州巡回演说，让孩子们认识到酗酒和醉驾的危害。
    小题1:根据第二段“It was four days after that life changing moment...she was still on cloud nine”可知，尽管离那个人生转折的时刻已经过去了四天，她依然很高兴。On cloud nine用来形容一种情绪高涨的状态。故选C。
    小题2:根据第四段“She’s been through so many difficulties and came through them all.”可知，舞蹈老师经历了很多的困难，老师坚强的毅力鼓舞着作者。故选A。
    小题3:根据倒数第二段“As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens about the dangers of drinking and driving.”可知，Shelley到路易斯安那州各地进行演说。故选C。
    小题4:根据最后一段“Don’t let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself.”可知，Shelley的建议是，与让自己感到舒服的人交往，做自己。故选A。

    She once said: "When people ask me if writing has been a hard or easy road I always answer with the famous saying, "the end is nothing; the road is all.'” That is what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never faced the type-writer (打字机) with the thought that one more task had to be done."
    Like most writers, Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her, but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works were, like her, simple and full of the vigor (活力) of her days in Nebraska, where she grew from childhood to young womanhood and where she developed a deep love for the treeless land of the Great Plains with its wild flowers, wheat fields and rivers.
    "It's a rather strange thing about the flat country," she wrote later. "It takes hold of you, or it leaves you perfectly cold. A great many people find it very dull; they like a church tower, an old factory, a waterfall country all made to look like a German, Christmas card... But when I come to the open plains, something happens. I'm home. I breathe differently."
    小题1:What did Cather mean by "the end is nothing; the road is all"?
    A．Writing is the only path to success.
    B．I feel happy when I finish writing a book.
    C．I enjoy writing whether it is hard or easy.
    D．Writing itself, not its result, is important.
    小题2:What was the place like where Cather grew up?
    A．It was cold, plain and without a church.
    B．It was a colorful world of wild flowers.
    C．It was like a German Christmas card
    D．It was vast, open, flat and wild.
    小题3:When she said "It takes hold of you, or it leaves you perfectly cold", Willa Gather meant ______.
    A．you either love the place or hate it
    B．you decide either to stay or to leave
    C．some find the place warm; others find it cold
    D．some find the place peaceful; others find it wild
    小题4:What happens when Cather comes to the open plains?
    A．She breathes differently from others:
    B．She wants to make the place her home.
    C．She finds the place similar to her home.
    D．She feels completely comfortable

    One day, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家) in England, a young boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had introduced him to me before. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?” 
    I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems which psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and silently. And I would do in this way.
    The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice. 
    Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me? 
    “Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly. 
    “It’s your turn,” he said. 
    After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life. 
    Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens. 
    小题1:When he first met the author, David_________. 
    A．felt a little excitedB．walked stubbornly
    C．looked a little nervousD．showed up with his teacher
    小题2:As a psychologist, the author __________.
    A．was uncertain about psychologyB．was ready to listen to David
    C．was able to describe David’s problemD．was sure of solving David’s problem
    小题3:David enjoyed being with the author because he____________.
    A．needed to share pain with the author
    B．wanted to ask the author for advice
    C．liked the children’s drawing in the office
    D．beat the author many times in the chess game
    小题4:What can be inferred about David? 
    A．He recovered after months of treatment.
    B．He liked biking before he lost his family.
    C．He went into university soon after starting to talk.
    D．He got friends in school before he met the author.
    小题5:What made David change?
    A．His teacher’s help.
    B．His exchange of letters with the author.
    C．The author’s friendship.
    D．The author’s silent communication with him.

    A  Leap to Honor
    Leaping on a narrow balance beam(平衡木) is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.
    To perfect her skills, Lola         for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
    That’s especially impressive,       she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t       how far away things are.
    When she was little, her mom       that even though she couldn’t see      , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the       right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
    Though learning gymnastics has been more      for her than for some of her tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her       stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
    She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest      is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to       your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go.” says Lola.
    To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most       for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall       the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10---- her highest score yet.
    Lola doesn’t want to be       differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision      . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her       attitude.
    Lola never thinks about      . She is presently at Level 7 while the highest is Level 10 in gymnastics. Her       is to reach Level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids       she grew up.
    Lola is       of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her       for others is “just believe yourself”.

    My wife passed away seven and a half years ago, and I went through a huge depression (消沉), the worst time in my life. I even wanted to end my life. I continued to work as a small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Kilauea, Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. On a family trip, we turned on the TV and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. I said to my kids, “I’m going to Afghanistan.” International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in some provinces where people had no health care. Eventually, the clinics were serving 27,000 patients a month. I had such a sense of accomplishment, a sense of purpose. My depression went completely away.
    I go wherever disasters strike: Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquake. I was just in Kenya. After their presidential election, at least a thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were forced out. We set up mobile clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees (难民). Measles broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and medical equipment were also problems.
    When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But really, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, my wife fell into a coma (昏迷). I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit, the exciting adventures we would have. I think about this moment many times during my “adventures”. I did not know then how prophetic (先知的) those words would be. She is with me still.
    小题1:The first country where the author provided people with medical care is _____
    A．IndonesiaB．PakistanC．KenyaD．Afghanistan
    小题2:The underlined word “Measles” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ____

    A．experienced a lot of exciting adventures
    B．loved each other very much
