My First Day of School

Fear started taking over. I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my mother, who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled（登记）in the local high school in my new town.

I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes. H”is voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn 't have any. tThhinegn lhik e that asked me to choose where I woul d sit. I didn 't actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn 'wteuhseadth.eWt e chhandology

to take notes as the teacher spoke.

It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It 's still fourth period. ”

“But the bell just rang, ” I said.

Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher（刺耳的） one, she said, “That is the lunch bell, young

man.”

I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we di dn't have in India either. I spotted my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn 't so bad.

36. The author attended an American high school because _____ .

A. He went to the wrong class for the second period.

B. He met some enthusiastic teachers and classmates.

C. He got the Course Requirements sheet from his classmate.

D. He experienced differences from the Indian schools in many ways.

38. How did the author feel at the end of the day?

【西城二模】 四?阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题?(共10分，每小题2分) Mom's Recipe for Life I have a lot of Mom's recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put，like the pumpkin pie she made during my growing up years. Even so，the recipe I treasure most is not on any index card，nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead，she lived this recipe all of her life. My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitude continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life. As a teen，I was embarrassed(尴尬的)every time my mother talked to strangers and offered a smile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded(回应)with a bright smile of their own. Some spoke，others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a little light into their day. What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeks I could not be there，，I asked her how it went. “ Ha!”she said，“ I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one old man，and not one word was spoken.” I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit，Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her. “ Oh，are you talking with them now?”I asked. “ Of course，”she said. “ One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a seat，I gave them a big smile and I said，‘ Isn't it a wonderful day?I noticed a few shy smiles.” Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long，the whole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation. When we went to the various stores，I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers. Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met，but once Mom smiled at them and started a conversation，most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I found myself admiring her. She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done the smiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example. She'd given me a recipe for life. 34. Where did the writer's mom grow up? 35. Did the people talk on the bus on Mom's first trip? 36. What did Mom do to make the bus more than transportation? 37. How did the writer feel about Mom in the end? 38. What is Mom's recipe for life? 34. In a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. 35. No，they didn't. 36. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus. 37. Proud. 38. The attitude of considering everyone her friend. 【东城二模】 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分） P. I. C. K. the Right Books for You The secret to learn how to choose the right book is simple. It’s one word you can depend on when you’re in a library or a bookstore. All you need to remember is “ P. I. C. K. “ P. I. C. K. ” stands for Purpose, Interest， Comprehend, and Know the Words. P= Purpose. Why are you looking for a book——reading for pleasure or trying to learn something? Reading silently for yourself or reading out loud for someone else? Most often, your purpose for reading can be found with a quick answer. I = Interest.
