阅读理解

    Jessie felt her life so boring one summer day. She was tired of watching TV, she read all her books, and her friends were on vacation. She wanted something different to do. Suddenly, she saw the lawn mower(割草机)sitting in the yard.

    "Mom," she shouted, "I think I will mow the lawn." Her mom ran into the yard and said, "Oh no, you don't. You're too young to mow the lawn."

    "I'm 14 years old and know how to do it," Jessie said. "Besides, it would help Dad out, and he won't have to worry about it over the weekend."

    Mom thought for a while and then decided to let Jessie give it a try. After all, she was home and would keep an eye on her. Jessie already knew how to start the lawn mower from watching her dad. Jessie checked the gas(汽油)to make sure it was full, and put on her gardening gloves to protect her hands. Mom watched from the kitchen window. Jessie really does know how to mow the lawn. She was very careful around the flowers and trees. When she finished, she felt so good, but she was so hot. Mom brought her some ice tea and said, "You sure did a great job. Dad will be very surprised."

    Later that day, Dad came home and said to Jessie's mom, "You didn't have to mow the lawn. I was going to do it on Saturday. It looks great. Thanks."

    "I didn't mow it. Jessie did."

    "Wow, our little girl is growing up!" Dad told Jessie what a great job she had done.

    "It was fun, and I will do it again next week" said Jessie.

    The neighbor next door came by and asked Jessie if she wanted to mow his lawn and make some money "Sure!" said Jessie. Jessie began mowing his lawn. Two other neighbors asked so, then another three. Jessie was now mowing lawns for them all and making some money She was no longer bored!

Once upon a time, there was a deer. He had large, strong antlers (鹿角). His owner protected him from being hurt by other animals as well as the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(风) and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(暴风雨), so he was always safe.

One day, the deer came near a river to drink. The water was like a mirror. The reflection(倒影) of his big antlers {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(闪耀 ) in the water. He was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(兴奋 的) and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(微笑). "I look like a(n){#blank#}6{#/blank#} (国王)," he said,"and the whole forest {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(区域)is my country."

Then he felt {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(受震惊的) when he was looking into the water."My legs are thin and my feet are small," he said."They look so {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(奇怪的). I hate them."

While the deer was complaining(抱怨), a tiger was {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(躲藏) near the river. When the deer saw him, he made his way to the trees. The tiger quickly chased after him. The deer was a fast runner and reached the trees first, but then his large antlers got stuck in some small {#blank#}11{#/blank#}(棍子). {#blank#}12{#/blank#}(突然), the tiger caught him, the deer cried out sadly.

He {#blank#}13{#/blank#} (开始) to {#blank#}14{#/blank#} (意识到) his mistake."I love my antlers, but they {#blank#}15{#/blank#}(导致) to my trouble. My legs and feet could help me run faster, but I hate them. How stupid I was! They are both important to me!"

Why do you open a school? If you ask Nadia Lopez this question, she would simply answer: to close a prison. Lopez is the founder of Mott Hall Bridges Academy, a public school in Brooklyn.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

To set up the school, Lopez faced many challenges. The greatest challenge was to get in touch with children without hope. At first, Lopez only had 45 kids. She once asked some girls,"{#blank#}2{#/blank#}" The answer was,"I don't know if I'm going to live that long." or"I have a lifelong goal of working in a fast- food restaurant nearby." These students had no idea that there were great chances outside their neighborhood.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} And they have tried their best to keep their students active and hopeful." We call our students‘ scholars (学者)' because they are lifelong learners. I chose the colors purple and black to remind students that they are excellent. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} They can be future engineers, scientists and even leaders who can and will take over this world," Lopez said.

A popular New York blogger heard about the school and wrote a post about it, telling people how the children struggled (挣扎), and why people must make education the most important thing. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} About 1.4 million dollars were raised for the school and its students got to take field trips to colleges and universities.

" Up to now, we have had three graduating classes (毕业班). They have nearly 200 children," said Lopez.

A. The post reached millions of people.

B. Where do you see yourself in five years?

C. It was one of the poorest areas in New York City.

D. Through education, they can have a great future.

E. Luckily, Lopez and her coworkers(同事) didn't give up.

F. Do you want to have lessons at school like kids in other areas?
