I love music. I learned to play the guitar at 11 and I wrote my first song four years later. My dream -----to become a country singer.
After years of hard work, a record company was showing interest in me. One day during a trip to mountains, a friend gave me a bit of meth, a kind of drugs(毒品). I smoked it. And that was all that I thought about for the next year and a half. I couldn’t live without it.
When the police came to me, I looked like death. The first seven days in prison(監(jiān)獄), I just slept. When I woke up on the eighth day, I had never known such shame and guilt(罪惡感). I walked down the hall to the pay phone. My mama is the best person on the earth, and I knew this was going to break her heart. When I heard her voice on the phone, I told her where I was. She just said, “Son, no matter what you did, I love you forever(永遠(yuǎn)).
Her words gave me the confidence to face my trouble(麻煩). And I also realized(意識到) this was my chance to start a new life.
When people hear my words, I hope they will not make the same mistake(錯誤) as I have, but I know that you can overcome(克服) almost anything, especially smoking drug. That’s why I share my story here.
小題1:The writer wrote his first song when he was ____ years old.
A．11B．13C．15D．17
小題2:Why was the writer put into prison?
A．Because he offered others meth.
B．Because he took drugs.
C．Because he refused the company.
D．Because he didn’t pay for his phone.
小題3:Which is right according to ( 根據(jù) ) the passage?
A．He will start a new life.
B．He gave his friends a bit of meth.
C．His father helped him a lot.
D．He goes on smoking drug.

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:A

試題分析：本文敘述了作者因為吸毒被警察關(guān)進(jìn)了監(jiān)獄，當(dāng)他給他的媽媽打電話時，他知道這回傷他媽媽的心。但是她媽媽卻說：“兒子，無論你做了什么，媽媽永遠(yuǎn)愛你”。她的這些話給作者帶來了面對麻煩的信心，他決定開始新的生活。作者希望大家不要犯同樣的錯誤，要克服任何困難，尤其是吸毒。
小題1:推理判斷題。根據(jù)I learned to play the guitar at 11 and I wrote my first song four years later.可知作者11歲學(xué)習(xí)彈吉他，四年后寫了第一首曲子，因此是他15歲寫的第一首曲子。故選C。
小題2:推理判斷題。根據(jù)a friend gave me a bit of meth, a kind of drugs(毒品). I smoked it可知一個朋友給了作者一種毒品，他吸了，因此警察找到他，把他關(guān)進(jìn)了監(jiān)獄。故選B。
小題3:推理判斷題。根據(jù)And I also realized(意識到) this was my chance to start a new life.可知我也意識到這是我開始新生活的機會，故推斷作者開始了新的生活。故選A。

Is it possible that you took no notice of your classmates when you had your good friends near you? They may have left hurt at that time. It may take a time for them to believe in you. If so, try to ask one classmate directly what the problem is. If you hear a negative(負(fù)面的) answer,at least you’ll know what to do.

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying..
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive(能容納的) you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of anything. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!
Head.When you want to appear confident, keep your head level（水平）. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.
Legs. Your legs will move around a lot more than usual when you are nervous or telling lies.
Posture(姿勢). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling unhappy, you usually don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult and makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
    Face.When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would not last long.  And your true emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear and so on will come through.
小題1: When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that       .
