21、Despite all the training, when the day of my first track meet finally arrived, I didn't feel ready. I had been preparing for weeks, but I was still jittery. I didn't know what times I should run, and I didn't know how I was going to like competing.
Walking into the unfamiliar stadium for the meet, I immediately felt afraid. After warming up for a couple minutes, I relaxed a bit. Running has always come naturally to me, and participating in middle school track never made me nervous.
I watched as my teammates prepared for their events. As the shot of the first gun rang out, my nervous expectation was replaced by anxiety. More and more of my teammates began to compete. As they made their way around the track and passed where we were seated, we cheered them on. During this time, any chance of returning to a state of relaxation disappeared.
A half hour passed, and my mind was only filled with thoughts of failure. The terrible race was approaching. The closer I got to race time, the tighter the knots in my stomach became. The list of reasons why I didn't want to run grew. Perhaps I truly forgot what I loved most about running. The girls around me were unfamiliar, and stepping out onto the track put my tension at an alltime high. I can't do this!
The shot of the gun frightened me into running. The negative thoughts in my head disappeared. My competitive spirit wanted to show my talents. I passed one girl, then another, and another. With my secondplace medal, I won a huge victory. Most importantly, I learned that running is not always about beating the person in front of you; it is about defeating the person inside of you.
【1】What's the meaning of the underlined word “jittery” in Paragraph 1?
A.Relaxed.
B.Nervous.
C.Comfortable.
D.Scared.
【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 5?
A.The writer wasn't good at running.
B.The writer was tired of running.
C.The writer was a confident girl.
D.The writer had a gift of running fast.
【3】What did the writer learn from this experience?
A.Running means beating the person in front of you.
B.A person should be brave enough to face the difficulty.
C.Defeating oneself is more important than beating others.
D.Only those with dreams can meet greater challenges.
【4】Which is the best title for the text?
A.My Most Unforgettable Memory
B.My Competitive Spirit
C.My Favorite Sport—Running
D.My First Track Meet
22、Americans plan parties for many reasons. As in other cultures, many Americans attend parties for weddings and religious or national holidays. But some parties are especially American. For example, a group of neighbors may gather on their street to eat food, play music and visit with one another. This is called a block party. A woman might invite a group of women to a party called a baby shower for a friend who is about to give birth. Guests bring presents for the new baby.
Americans also attend tailgate parties. A tailgate is the back end of a truck or other vehicle that opens down. The tailgate parties are a big part of sports culture in the United States. Friends bring food and drink to a sports event. They eat together in the parking area of the sports stadium.
Birthday parties are also very popular. Many parents organize a party for their child around a theme. Birthday parties usually include gifts and a birthday cake with candles. In many parts of the United States, cupcakes have become a popular replacement for cakes.
Birthday parties can be low cost or very costly. Some parents take their children’s birthday parties very seriously, even when the child is too young to fully understand the celebration.
One group of parents started a website called Birthdays Without Pressure. They decided that some parents were under too much social pressure to plan costly parties for their children. The group sees this movement as an example of America’s culture of “too much stuff”. The group’s website gives suggestions on how to keep birthday celebrations simple, meaningful and fun without spending a lot of money. Their advice may be very helpful during this period of economic recession (萧条).

23、If you’re looking for a place in the Bay Area to attend an outdoor concert. Shoreline Amphitheater (露天场) in Mountain View may be just the place for you
The Site
With 6,500 fixed scats and grass seating that brings its capacity (容纳能力) to 22,000, this outdoor amphitheater can hold a lot of people. In fact, you’ll be glad they have two large video screens to give you a close-up view of the performers, no matter where you sit. But standing isn’t allowed.
Likes and Dislikes
Shoreline Amphitheater is a cool place to go on a hot summer evening, not only culturally but temperature-wise.
Shoreline is not without its faults, however. Their biggest complaints include the fact that the staff does not police (监督) cigarette smokers. However, if a performer requests it, the staff will force anyone seen calling to leave, which can cause a lot of trouble during the show.
Another biggest complaint is that when the most popular groups perform, all those people have to make their way to the amphitheater on a limited number of city streets and traffic is often at a standstill for miles.
Tips for the audience
You can bring low backed-beach chairs to use on the grass, as long as the seal is no more than inches off the ground. You can also rent them on sue. For most shows, blankets are allowed.
You may not need sunscreen because the sun sets before the show starts, but insect repellent (杀虫剂) is a good idea.
Leave “professional” cameras, video equipment and recording equipment at home.
Only working animals are allowed inside the site.
【1】If audiences’ seats are far away from the stage, what can they do?
