24、Our teacher gave us a task called “secret friends” for the coming week. With our eyes closed, we drew a name of a classmate from a basket. We were supposed to do nice things for our friends without letting them know who was doing it. We could leave encouraging notes or cards on their desks or in their schoolbags.

Soon, the task was turned into a competition of giving gifts instead of notes. Everyone was getting cool presents except me. I received nothing but cards with nice words about me.

On the last morning, I finally got a package (包裹). When I opened it, the girls around all laughed. It was perfumed powder (香粉), an “old lady” gift. My face went red.

I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift, but when the girls mentioned it again in the bathroom, I joined in, “How stupid! My grandmother wouldn’t even want it.” The girls laughed and left the bathroom. Washing my hands, I let the water run through my fingers as I thought about my words. I regretted saying them to fit in with the girls.

“I’m your secret friend.” It was Rachel. “I’m sorry about the gift,” she said to me in a low voice.

From a poor family she was often laughed at by those with rich parents. Yet she just bore everything silently.

I was sick to my stomach as my hurtful words ran through my mind. She had heard everything. How could I have been so cruel?

Later I learned that she had felt bad all week about not being able to leave me any cool present and her mum had given up her only luxury (奢侈品).

I told her that I had only said those things to try to fit in.

“We aren’t that different from each other, are we?” She smiled understandingly. Her simple words, spoken from her heart, found their way straight into mine.

【1】What was the task given by the teacher?

A．Helping their deskmates with their study.

B．

C．

D．

【3】Why did the writer say those hurtful words?

A．Because she thought the gift was cheap.

B．Because she tried to fit in.

C．Because she hated those girls.

D．Because she wanted to be the leader.

【4】How did the writer feel when she heard what Rachel said?

A．Sorry.

B．Pleased.

C．Angry.

D．Proud.

【5】What can we know from the text?

25、F.Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24,1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St.Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton. University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.

His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary:“ My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”

This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing.

27、

You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese?

Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions《红楼梦》），written by Cao Xueqin （1715-1763）. Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. The opera was first performed last September in San Francisco, US. This month it comes to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan.

Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds （背景）in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera.

The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Huang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbroken tragedy （悲剧）that everyone would understand.

The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes （服装）and stage settings （布景）.He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her on the stage.

The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.

【1】Who wrote the opera for the Chinese classic novel A Dream of Red Mansions?

A.Lin Daiyu. B.Cao Xueqin. C.Jia Baoyu. D.David Henry Hwang.

【2】The opera was ________

A.sung in poetic Chinese B.performed in many languages

C.performed in China after one year D.first performed Beijing

【3】Which of the following is NOT a difference between the book and the opera?

A.The sad love story. B.The whole family’s story.

C.The language used, D.The number of characters.

【4】The “land” in the last paragraph refers to?

A.America B.San Francisco

C.China D.the place where David was born

【5】Why did the creators make the book into an English-language opera?

A.Because they thought the book was not good enough.

B.Because they hope to help others learn English.

C.Because they wanted Westerners to know about the Chinese novel.

D.Because they have backgrounds in Western culture.
