21、It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while．Let’s find out more about going to a new school．

Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.

You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!

Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers(运动鞋). It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.

【1】The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “_________”.

A．开始

B．学习

C．找到

D．教

【2】The last paragraphs mainly tell us about _________.

A．what to know about a new school

D．how to spend your first day of school

【3】According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except _________.

C．make new friends

D．go over your new lessons

【4】The main idea of the passage is _________.

A．how to be used to a new school quickly

22、As I enjoyed the soft sunshine in the pool, my 8-year-old daughter swam up behind me.

“Guess who, Mommy?” she said.

“No idea. Who is this mystery (神秘的) person?” I joked.

The pair of us talked and laughed together for the rest of the afternoon.

“Remember this,” I told myself. “You are happy, right here, right now.”

Fast forward a few months, and my thoughts sounded different.

“Just keep going,” I would think, or, “How many sleeps until the weekend?”

I didn’t like what I was like—someone sleepwalking (梦游) through the week, running on coffee and too tired at night to do anything but watch TV. I thought the Christmas break would recognize (使再次充满活力) me, making me ready to take on another year of early starts. But I had to listen to my heart.

My patient husband and friends had listened to me going over the decision for six months, but the time for talking was over. It was time to make my choice: My daughter needed me and I needed her.

When she was really young, I loved the freedom of going to work as the sun was rising, happy that my family was still sound asleep. Then later, my daughter would set her alarm (闹钟) so she could wake up early with me to chat in the dark together.

The morning I planned to tell everyone I was quitting (放弃) my job, we sat together on the couch. I told her how nervous I was about sharing my news in a few hours’ time. Stroking (抚摸) her hair, I asked my daughter what she thought about my decision. “We’ll be so much happier, Mommy,” she said.

Life is never simply a choice between job and family. Ask anyone, and family always comes first.

Besides, I’m not disappearing—there are plenty of projects to keep me fulfilled.

Who knows what’s ahead?

Nobody knows what the future holds, but when it comes to my own, I can make sure it will be filled with long afternoons in the pool with my daughter.

A．Her work took up much of her energy every day.

B．She kept a balance (平衡) between family and job.

D．She asked her daughter to wake up early every morning.

【3】Why did the writer want to quit her job?

A．She dreamed of trying something new and exciting.

B．She wanted to spend more time with her family.

C．She was treated unfairly at work.

D．Her husband and friends advised her to take a break.
