I started playing basketball when I was eight.My dad was the coach of my team，and my mom kept score.So，my sister，who wasn't old enough to stay at home alone，had to come to all of my games.She looked like she didn't want to be there，but she cheered with the crowd anyway.

When I was in high school，Christie didn't have to come to my games anymore.But she still came every week，cheering me on.I remember the last game of the season.My sister came with a large group of her friends.Printed on her shirt，in big，bright red letters，were the words "BRAD'S SISTER".Suddenly，I was embarrassed （尴尬的）.I felt embarrassed，not because she was there but because I'd never thanked her for helping me before.

My sister left for college a few months after that last game，and I am an only child now.But now that she's gone，I miss having someone to fight with for the remote a lot.

2.I will always remember my mother’s last few days in this world. On February 14th, 2008, my class went on a field trip to the beach. I had so much fun. When we returned to school, my teacher told me to go to the headmaster’s office. When I got into the office, I saw a police officer. Suddenly I realized something was wrong. The police officer told me what had happened and we went to pick my sister up. After that, we went to the hospital and waited. Time went slowly. Finally, we got to see our mother. It was terrible. On the next day, the headmaster came and told my two teachers what had happened. I was taking a rest that day. I knew it had something to do with my mother. I kept thinking that she either died or had gotten better. How I wished that she had gotten better. When my teacher took me outside, my sister ran up to me. She started crying, “She’s gone. Teresa, mommy’s gone. She’s dead.” I couldn’t believe it. We jumped into the car and drove straight to the hospital. Most of my family were there. The silence was terrible. I knew I had to say goodbye. Today when I look back, I still miss my mother very much, but I know that I will live. My mother was a strong mother, who had the biggest heart. My mother was an angel walking on the earth. I will always remember her as living. When someone is asked who their hero is, they usually say someone famous, like Michael Jordan or Britney Spears. When someone asks me who my hero is, I tell them, my mother. My mother lives every day. That is what makes her a true hero.Choose the right answer:Where was the writer when she learned her mother was very ill？选项： A:On the beach. ; B:At the hospital. ; C:At school. ; D:At home. ; E:in the police office

The following is what my daughter told me one day:It was a fine day. On our way home, the Pilipino said, “There is a new McDonald’s nearby. Let’s go there.” You know, I like McDonald’s very much, so we stopped in. She immediately bought a hamburger and asked me, “Would you like one?” Of course I wanted one very much, but I had no money on me that day and I knew it was quite expensive. So I automatically said, “No, thanks.” On our way home, she was eating the delicious hamburger and my mouth was watering, but I still felt grateful to her for her invitation.Question: Did my daughter really mean it when she refused her Filipino classmate’s offer?

6.I am a graduate student in China, and over the last few weeks I have become friends with Earl, a Western student who is studying Chinese at my university. We have a number of friends in common, so often see each other at various social gatherings. We enjoy talking to each other, and have gotten to know each other fairly well. Last weekend Earl asked me if I would like to go see a movie with him. I said yes, so we had dinner and saw the movie together. After the movie we talked a long time as we walked home. When it was time to say goodnight, he first took my hand and then he kissed me. I was a little surprised when he kissed me, but I was not unhappy because I like him quite a bit. Now, I have started to tell people Earl is my boyfriend. However, when I told one of my Chinese girlfriends about all of this, she said that Westerners are very casual about relationships between men and women. She said I should be careful about letting him kiss me because he probably wasn't very serious about his interest in me. What do you think?

Passage 2

Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.

After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bad and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.

One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me -- why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?

When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug. I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of her.

I continued to buy food for my mum after that. But I always added one more bag for her other children.
