24、Perhaps the only test score that I remembered is the 55 when I was in high school.
The test was the final for a course. I remembered waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr. Right passed out our papers one by one. It was a rather difficult test. I heard my classmates groaning, and I could tell by the groans that the scores weren’t looking good.
Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to draw attention, was my score, 55!
I lowered my head, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that I wanted my classmates to see. “The scores were not very good, none of you passed,” Mr. Right said. “The highest score in the class was a 55.”
A 55. That’s me!
Suddenly my sad look didn’t look so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot better.
I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My father knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, “How did you do in your test?” “I made a 55,” I said.
A frown(皱眉) now stood on my father’s face. I knew I had to explain immediately. “But Dad, I had the highest score in the class, ” I proudly stated. I thought that explanation would make a difference. “You failed!” my father replied. “But it’s the highest!” I insisted. “I don’t care what scores others had, but you failed. What matters is what you do!” my father firmly said.
For years, my father was always that way. It didn’t matter what others did, it only mattered what I did and that I did it excellently.
We often don’t understand the wisdom(智慧)of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents’ shoes. My father’s words have carried me throughout life.
【1】The word “groaning” is the closest in meaning to .
A. singing B. laughing
C. complaining D. quarreling
【2】In class, to hide my score from my classmates, I .
A. lowered my head B. covered my score up
C. walked home alone D. explained immediately
【3】A frown stood on my father’s face because he thought .
A. I did a bad job in the test B. I gave a good excuse
C. I became the worst student D. I stood in his shoes
【4】We can infer from the passage that .
A. the father was strict with his child
B. the writer was always poor in tests
C. Mr. Right was worried about the writer
D. the writer was always happy with his scores
【5】Which is the best title of the passage?
A. The Final Test B. That’s Me!

25、The students in Grade Nine have to take a P.E. test in many places around China. The full mark is usually 50 points and it counts for much in the high school entrance exam.
In Shizong the test is held in April. Students have the test in their own or the other school. Each student is tested on three sports. They can choose long jump, basketball dribbling(运球) or volleyball. The pull-up(引体向上) is for boys and girls can choose the sit-up. Both boys and girls must pass in the test, or they can’t go to the higher school to go on studying.
Most students find the test easy and more than 90% of them can get full marks. That’s because they have been training for it during the whole three years. Students in Grade 9 usually do lots of practice in P.E. classes and after class. The training makes the test easier than it seems to be.

26、 “Are you listening, Simon?” Simon’s teacher asked. Simon smiled and shook his head. He never listened or tried hard in class. Talking was so much better.
“One of these days, if you listen, you’ll learn something,” Mrs. Jacobs said.
That evening, Simon started to feel a little bit sick. His throat really hurt. He had hot chocolate to make his throat feel better, but it didn’t work. The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say “Good morning”, nothing came out. Simon’s mother looked at him. “Honey, you’ve lost your voice.”
“Can I stay at home?” He tried to ask, but words didn’t come out. His mother checked him for a fever and said he was good enough to go to school, even if he couldn’t talk.
When he got to school, Mrs. Jacobs said “Hello” to him, and he just nodded. When his friends asked him what TV shows he watched last night, he just shrugged (耸肩). By the time the bell rang, almost everyone was looking at him as if he’d grown a third eye or an extra nose.
Penny raised her hand, “Mrs. Jacobs, why isn’t Simon talking?”
“I’m sick. I can’ t talk,” Simon tried to whisper, but no one could understand. He wrote it down instead.

27、
The human brain is very small and light. Its weight is only 2% of our total body weight, but it needs about 20% of the oxygen(氧气) that our bodies take in. We can’t think well if our brains aren’t getting enough oxygen, so always make sure there’s enough oxygen in the air when you need to remember something. How can you improve your memory? Here are some suggestions.
When you want to remember something, tell someone about it. This way the new information becomes easier to remember. Later on, thinking about the conversation will remind you of the thing.
Our memory works well when we’re asleep. If you want to remember something, try going to sleep right after learning it. If you have to remember something big, break it down into small parts. It’s easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it down into four small parts:198-756-430-387.
If you want to remember some information and you can’t, don’t get angry. Just relax and try again later. One of the best ways of remembering things is to make “pictures” in your mind. If you want to buy many things including bread, flowers, gloves, a notebook and oil, just make up a story with them:
Mary was hungry and was looking for some BREAD. She opened the fridge, and saw it was full of FLOWERS. She decided to wear her GLOVES and leave the house. But she tripped over a bottle of OIL and found her important NOTEBOOK under the sofa ...
Let yourself be surprised by your memory!
