Paris is one of the most-visited destinations in the world. A relaxing trip to Paris takes a little bit of planning. Here are some tips for you to make your trip smooth.
Planning your trip
Have a passport for international travel. A passport costs $110 and takes 6-8weeks to arrive after you apply.
Booking Flights
The cheapest month to fly is March, especially if you can leave on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. You’ll save even more money by booking around 90 days in advance. In the summer months, tickets will be more expensive no matter when you book.

Henrietta Swan Leavitt was born on July 4 1868, in Massachusetts. Little is known about her private life. As a college student, she studied a number of subjects and fell in love with astronomy (天文学).
Leavitt never married and was considered a serious woman with little time to waste on unimportant aspects of life. Her co-workers described her as pleasant and friendly, and much focused on the importance of the work she was doing. She began to lose her hearing as a young woman due to a condition that only worsened with time.
In 1893, she began working at Harvard College Observatory under the direction of astronomer E.C. Pickering. He directed a group of women, who were called “computers”. These “computers” conducted important astronomy research by studying photographic plates (照相底片) of the sky and cataloging (编入目录) characteristics of stars. The women were not allowed to operate telescopes, which limited their ability to conduct their own research. They lived at a time when women’s contributions were undervalued or ignored.
Henrietta Swan Leavitt continued her research until just before her death, always thinking of herself as an astronomer, despite her start as a nameless “computer” in Pickering’s department. While Leavitt was not officially recognized during her life for her work, Harlow Shapley, the astronomer who was the Harvard College Observatory director, did recognize her worth and made her head of Stellar Photometry in 1921.
At that time Leavitt was suffering from cancer, and she died at the same year. This prevented her from being recognized as a Nobel Prize owner for her contributions. After her death, her name was placed on a lunar crater (月球陨石坑), and asteroid (小行星) 5383 Leavitt carries her name. At least one book has been published about her and her name is usually mentioned as part of the history of astronomical contributions.
24. What can we learn about Leavitt
A. She was hard to get along with.
B. She suffered from cancer in childhood.
C. She became interested in astronomy at college.
D. She never regarded herself as an astronomer.
25. Why were the women regarded as “computers”
A. They were looked down upon by others.
B. They devoted themselves to science.
C. They knew nothing but photographic plates.
D. They used to serve as working computers.
26. What happened after Leavitt’s death
A. Her achievements were ignored. B. A Nobel Prize was awarded to her.
C. One of her books was published. D. She was honored in a special way.
27. Which of the following can best describe Leavitt
A. Kind. B. Devoted.
C Reliable. D. Energetic.
C
In 1999, John Smyth, a high-school teacher decided it was time to retire. Together with his wife Helen, he set off on a journey around Australia. But when they returned, John found he missed the classroom, so he spent another eight years doing casual teaching.
Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students’ Education (VISE), which pairs up energetic people with educational experience, usually retired teachers, with children whose schooling is largely done remotely, because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools. John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush, he always dreamed of running with circus, but he didn’t even have much chance to see the circus in person. Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus.
The lesson timetable was built around the kids performance schedules. “The eight-year-old I tutored was an awesome gymnast who was part of the teeterboard (跷跷板) act,” he explains. “A big guy would jump on the other side, he would swing up in the air, do a couple of twirls (旋转) and land on his uncle’s shoulders, and his uncle was standing on the boy’s father’s shoulders!”
The circus still includes some animal acts, including lions, monkeys, horses, goats and pigs. John and his wife Helen found it extraordinary enough to sink into sleep to the sound of lions roaring, but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person. While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year.
28. What can we know about the children in the Stardust Circus
A. They missed the classroom.
B. Most of them lived downtown.
C. They were dreaming of travelling.
D. They were lacking in regular schooling.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. John taught the gymnast to perform in the air.
B. Teachers of the program had a flexible schedule.
C. John’s dream came true as a volunteer in the circus.
D. The couple were fed up with the sound of lions roaring.
30. How did John probably feel after meeting the little lions
A. Scared. B. Excited. C. Calm. D. Regretful.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Running with Circus B. Missing Regular School
C. Enjoying Retirement D. Travelling with Animals
D
“Creativity is the key to a brighter future,” say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have the product that we now think greatly important: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can gain information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
32. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake
A. It should encourage people to work a longer time.
B. People should be discouraged to think freely.
C. People will do better if they pay all attention to their work.
D. It is necessary for people to spend some of their working time developing new ideas.
33. What can we know from the passage about creativity
A. It is something that most people are born with.
B. It is something that has nothing to do with intelligence at all.
C. It is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems.
D. It is something that is not important to the life in the future at all.
34. Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity
A. They don’t attach importance to creativity education.
B. They don’t want their students to make mistakes.
C. They pay no attention to examination marks.
D. They think it impossible to develop creativity in class.
35. What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money
A. Allow them to have a try.
B. Try to help them as much as possible.
C. Take no notice of whatever they do.
D. Order them to spend the least money.

There I was stuck AGAIN. This was the same feeling that overwhelms me every year. But this year it was different, because if I failed this exam I would not graduate. I sat there, panic stricken, unable to move. Pressure crushed in on me. What if I could not go to high school Would Dad and Mum kick me out of their house
I took two deep breaths and looked up. I could see the teacher pacing up and down. The classroom was dead silent except for the clock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. I checked the clock for the third time. Ten minutes left! I clenched (握紧) and unclenched my fist in an attempt to calm myself. Think! I told myself. I knew I could do this. My hand couldn’t help trembling. Then I scribbled (胡乱写下) the first few words that hit me.
“It isn’t my fault...”
I stared blankly at those words. At the comer of my eye, I could see my teacher walking towards me. She was checking on our progress! Dread built up within me. Then, I glanced at the four words again. Without any warning, my hand moved to write.
Hair on my arms stood as the teacher leaned in and started to read my work. I peered over to see my teacher’s expression, praying that my work had not brought in disappointment. To my astonishment, she displayed a clear satisfaction! That was good, wasn’t it I hurriedly looked down at my essay.
I skimmed it through. I felt proud. Now, there’s something I was still worried about. I checked the clock. Two minutes left! I was still writing!
I bit my lip, took a deep breath, and concentrated on writing. I heard the teacher leave.
“There’s one minute left. Please check your work.” the teacher reminded us.
注意：
1.所续写短文词数应为150左右;

A week later, the teacher handed the papers back to us.

【原文】M: Hi, Sara. I heard that you are organizing a campaign on the 28th April on the occasion of Earth Day.
W: Yes. We called it “the green campaign”.

W: Yes, of course. All participants in the campaign will wear green because we want to tell people about the bad effects of pollution.
M: That seems great! Can you give me more details about your campaign
W: Sure. The first day we will collect all the garbage at school. The following day we’ll plant some trees. Then we will hang some posters on the school board.
M: Interesting! I’d like to help you in your campaign. I have an idea.
W: Yes, go ahead. What’s it
M: We may ask our teachers to help us in our campaign by not bringing their cars to school.
W: It’s a good idea.

W: Wow! How great, Peter! Thank you so much for your help.

【解析】
【原文】M: Hi, I’m Rick Steves. If you’ve been with us from the beginning, you’ll know that we began our tour in Amsterdam, walked our way through Germany and Austria, down into Italy, back up through Switzerland and this week we are in Paris. We won’t spend much time at the big attractions. In a tourist destination like Paris, even a new traveler knows to see the famous art museums of Paris and no one misses the Eiffel Tower. But we’re going to some of the places the average tourist misses. For instance, the best view in town may not be from the top of the Eiffel Tower, but from the top of the Montparnasse Tower. The view includes the Eiffel Tower as well as everything else. It’s cheaper and easier to get up here. We can join a ride on a public bus. I like the views from Line 63. Or we can cruise through Paris in one of their river tour boats. To cover more territory, traffic and streets for you, I ride the subway. Many European cities have subway systems, the one in Paris is really amazing. You can go anywhere in town for a reasonable price. And don’t worry, getting lost is cheap. In fact, you could stay underground all day long on one ticket about the cost of a cup of coffee.

Henrietta Swan Leavitt was born on July 4, 1868, in Massachusetts. Little is known about her private life. As a college student, she studied a number of subjects and fell in love with astronomy (天文学).
Leavitt never married and was considered a serious woman with little time to waste on unimportant aspects of life. Her co-workers described her as pleasant and friendly, and much focused on the importance of the work she was doing. She began to lose her hearing as a young woman due to a condition that only worsened with time.
In 1893, she began working at Harvard College Observatory under the direction of astronomer E.C. Pickering. He directed a group of women, who were called “computers”. These “computers” conducted important astronomy research by studying photographic plates (照相底片) of the sky and cataloging (编入目录) characteristics of stars. The women were not allowed to operate telescopes, which limited their ability to conduct their own research. They lived at a time when women’s contributions were undervalued or ignored.
Henrietta Swan Leavitt continued her research until just before her death, always thinking of herself as an astronomer, despite her start as a nameless “computer” in Pickering’s department. While Leavitt was not officially recognized during her life for her work, Harlow Shapley, the astronomer who was the Harvard College Observatory director, did recognize her worth and made her head of Stellar Photometry in 1921.
At that time Leavitt was suffering from cancer, and she died at the same year. This prevented her from being recognized as a Nobel Prize owner for her contributions. After her death, her name was placed on a lunar crater (月球陨石坑), and asteroid (小行星) 5383 Leavitt carries her name. At least one book has been published about her and her name is usually mentioned as part of the history of astronomical contributions.
24. What can we learn about Leavitt
A. She was hard to get along with.
B. She suffered from cancer in childhood.
C. She became interested in astronomy at college.
D. She never regarded herself as an astronomer.
25. Why were the women regarded as “computers”
A. They were looked down upon by others.
B. They devoted themselves to science.
C. They knew nothing but photographic plates.
D. They used to serve as working computers.
26. What happened after Leavitt’s death
A. Her achievements were ignored. B. A Nobel Prize was awarded to her.
C. One of her books was published. D. She was honored in a special way.
27. Which of the following can best describe Leavitt
A. Kind. B. Devoted.
C. Reliable. D. Energetic.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了美国天文学家Leavitt的相关情况。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第一段“As a college student, she studied a number of subjects and fell in love with astronomy (天文学).(作为一名大学生，她学习了许多科目，并爱上了天文学。)”可知，Leavitt是在上大学期间喜欢上了天文学，故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段“They lived at a time when women’s contributions were undervalued or ignored.(她们生活在一个女性的贡献被低估或忽视的时代。)”可知，那群妇女被称作“电脑”的原因是她们被别人轻视，故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。 根据最后一段“After her death, her name was placed on a lunar crater (月球陨石坑), and asteroid (小行星) 5383 Leavitt carries her name. At least one book has been published about her and her name is usually mentioned as part of the history of astronomical contributions.(她死后，她的名字被放在月球上的一个陨石坑上，5383Leavitt小行星也以她的名字命名。至少有一本关于她的书出版了，她的名字通常被列为天文学贡献史的一部分。)”可知，在Leavitt去世之后，她以特殊的方式被人们纪念，故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第二段“Leavitt never married and was considered a serious woman with little time to waste on unimportant aspects of life.(Leavitt从未结婚，被认为是一个严肃的女人，很少有时间浪费在生活中不重要的方面)”以及第四段“Henrietta Swan Leavitt continued her research until just before her death, always thinking of herself as an astronomer(Henrietta Swan Leavitt一直认为自己是一名天文学家，直到去世前她还在继续她的研究)”可推理出，Leavitt是一个有着奉献精神的人，故选B。
C
In 1999, John Smyth, a high-school teacher decided it was time to retire. Together with his wife Helen, he set off on a journey around Australia. But when they returned, John found he missed the classroom, so he spent another eight years doing casual teaching.
Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students’ Education (VISE), which pairs up energetic people with educational experience, usually retired teachers, with children whose schooling is largely done remotely, because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools. John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush, he always dreamed of running with circus, but he didn’t even have much chance to see the circus in person. Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus.
The lesson timetable was built around the kids performance schedules. “The eight-year-old I tutored was an awesome gymnast who was part of the teeterboard (跷跷板) act,” he explains. “A big guy would jump on the other side, he would swing up in the air, do a couple of twirls (旋转) and land on his uncle’s shoulders, and his uncle was standing on the boy’s father’s shoulders!”
The circus still includes some animal acts, including lions, monkeys, horses, goats and pigs. John and his wife Helen found it extraordinary enough to sink into sleep to the sound of lions roaring, but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person. While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year.
28. What can we know about the children in the Stardust Circus
A. They missed the classroom.
B. Most of them lived downtown.
C. They were dreaming of travelling.
D. They were lacking in regular schooling.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. John taught the gymnast to perform in the air.
B. Teachers of the program had a flexible schedule.
C. John’s dream came true as a volunteer in the circus.
D. The couple were fed up with the sound of lions roaring.
30. How did John probably feel after meeting the little lions
A. Scared. B. Excited. C. Calm. D. Regretful.
31 What is the best title for the text
A. Running with Circus B. Missing Regular School
C. Enjoying Retirement D. Travelling with Animals
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了退休了的高中教师John参加了VISE项目，通过这个项目，John完成了自己小时候的跑马戏团的梦想。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students’ Education (VISE), which pairs up energetic people with educational experience, usually retired teachers, with children whose schooling is largely done remotely, because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools.(然后，他听说了一个名为“孤立学生教育志愿者”（VISE）的项目，该项目将有教育经验的精力充沛的人（通常是退休教师）与孩子们配对，因为孩子们住在离城镇太远的地方，无法上正规学校，所以他们的学业基本上是远程完成的。)”可知，孩子们无法上正规学校，他们的学业基本上是远程完成的，因此他们缺乏正规学校教育，故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush, he always dreamed of running with circus, but he didn’t even have much chance to see the circus in person. (约翰在乡下长大，小时候在灌木丛中，他一直梦想着和马戏团一起巡演，但他甚至没有太多机会亲自去看马戏团。)”和最后一段“While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year.(尽管起初有点害怕，但对于John来说，这是一个永远无法忘记的经历，这让他在75岁这一年实现了儿时的梦想。)”可知，在马戏团里，John作为一名志愿者教师，他实现了自己小时候想和马戏团一起巡演的梦想，故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person. While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year.(但是有一天，训狮员给了他一个特权，邀请他亲自去看4个13个月大的狮子。尽管起初有点害怕，但对于John来说，这是一个永远无法忘记的经历，这让他在75岁这一年实现了儿时的梦想。)”可推知，John亲自看到了狮子，这便让他实现了自己小时候的梦想，因此在看完狮子后，他应该是很激动的，故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus.(因此，他立刻对这个项目产生了兴趣，并在星空马戏团获得了一个教师的职位。)”以及后文对他跟着马戏团的经历的描写可知，本文主要讲述了退休了的高中教师John参加了VISE项目，通过这个项目，John完成了自己小时候想和马戏团一起巡演的梦想，故A项“与马戏团一起奔跑”符合文章标题，故选A。
D
“Creativity is the key to a brighter future,” say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have the product that we now think greatly important: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can gain information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
32. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake
A It should encourage people to work a longer time.
B. People should be discouraged to think freely.
C. People will do better if they pay all attention to their work.
D. It is necessary for people to spend some of their working time developing new ideas.
33. What can we know from the passage about creativity
A. It is something that most people are born with.
B. It is something that has nothing to do with intelligence at all.
C. It is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems.
D. It is something that is not important to the life in the future at all.
34. Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity
A. They don’t attach importance to creativity education.
B. They don’t want their students to make mistakes.
C. They pay no attention to examination marks.
D. They think it impossible to develop creativity in class.
35. What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money
A. Allow them to have a try.
B. Try to help them as much as possible.
C. Take no notice of whatever they do.
D. Order them to spend the least money.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲的是创造力是拥有一个更光明的未来的关键，它并非是人与生俱来的，需要后天的培养。不幸的是，学校对创造力的培养并不重视。学校和父母应该重视对创造力的培养。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.(他的前公司从错误中吸取了教训。现在，它鼓励人们把15%的工作时间花在思考和发展新想法上。)”可知，Drew的前公司从错误中吸取了教训，认为花时间思考和开发新的想法是很有必要的。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.(创造力是指利用所拥有的资源来产生对某事有益的新想法。)”可知，创造力是一种利用所学知识来解决新问题的方法。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers.(随着对考试结果的高度关注以及阅读、写作和数学技能的发展，许多教育工作者放弃了寻找正确答案的创造力。)”可知，许多教育工作者并不重视创造力教育。故选A项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As children grow older, parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money. (随着孩子年龄的增长，父母应该试着让他们决定如何利用时间或花钱。)”可知，父母应该试着让孩子自己决定如何利用他们的时间或花钱。故选A项。

【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要简单介绍了古代的科举考试的状元的相关情况。
【56题详解】
考查不定式。句意：如果你有机会回到古代中国，问一个受过教育的人他最大的梦想是什么。chance后跟不定式作后置定语，故填to return。
【57题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：如果你有机会回到古代中国，问一个受过教育的人他最大的梦想是什么。空格处引导的是宾语从句，从句中缺少表语，此处表示“问一个受过教育的人他最大的梦想是什么”，空格处用what引导宾语从句，故填what。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他会告诉你，他想成为一个状元，这是一个授予在最高科举考试中获得第一名的学者的头衔。that从句中的谓语是wants，空格处用非谓语动词，title和give之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填given。
【59题详解】

【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：一旦你被选为状元，你将受到皇帝的赏识，并穿着红袍子和一匹高大强壮的马出现在市中心的游行队伍中。be selected as意为“被选为”，因此空格处是介词as，故填as。
【63题详解】

【65题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：俗话说三百六十行，行行出状元。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语An old saying是单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数goes，故填goes。

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
There I was stuck AGAIN. This was the same feeling that overwhelms me every year. But this year it was different, because if I failed this exam I would not graduate. I sat there, panic stricken, unable to move. Pressure crushed in on me. What if I could not go to high school Would Dad and Mum kick me out of their house
I took two deep breaths and looked up. I could see the teacher pacing up and down. The classroom was dead silent except for the clock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. I checked the clock for the third time. Ten minutes left! I clenched (握紧) and unclenched my fist in an attempt to calm myself. Think! I told myself. I knew I could do this. My hand couldn’t help trembling. Then I scribbled (胡乱写下) the first few words that hit me.
“It isn’t my fault...”
I stared blankly at those words. At the comer of my eye, I could see my teacher walking towards me. She was checking on our progress! Dread built up within me. Then, I glanced at the four words again. Without any warning, my hand moved to write.
Hair on my arms stood as the teacher leaned in and started to read my work. I peered over to see my teacher’s expression, praying that my work had not brought in disappointment. To my astonishment, she displayed a clear satisfaction! That was good, wasn’t it I hurriedly looked down at my essay.
I skimmed it through. I felt proud. Now, there’s something I was still worried about. I checked the clock. Two minutes left! I was still writing!
I bit my lip, took a deep breath, and concentrated on writing. I heard the teacher leave.
“There’s one minute left. Please check your work.” the teacher reminded us.
注意：

“One minute left ” I exclaimed.

【答案】参考范文
One possible version:
“One minute left ” I exclaimed. Everybody looked at me weirdly. I looked down, feeling ashamed. But I had to finish the paper. I tried to ignore everything and continue writing. One more word, I said to myself, come on. Just like this, I forced myself to concentrate and willed my hand to scribble whatever that popped up on my mind. “Time’s up! Put your pens down. Please hand in your test paper to me in the front.” the teacher announced. I finished! I put down my pen, breathing a sigh of relief, and then I stood up and limped towards the teacher to hand it in-my legs felt like noodles, thanks to the extreme tension.
A week later, the teacher handed the papers back to us. It was the time for truth! I folded my paper and held it tightly in my hands, shilly-shallying about whether to check the result in front of my classmates. Finally I decided I should face my fate bravely and unfolded it. It was an “A”! I could not believe my eyes. How could it be It was the first time in my life that I had got an “A”. I turned to look at my teacher. Our eyes met. She nodded and gave me a big smile! At that point, I made a firm resolution: I’d be more hard-working and more confident, so that I wouldn’t be stuck and panic like this again in high school.
