In July, my daughter Becky graduated from Washington High School. During the graduation party, one of her classmates gave a simple speech that I will remember. She talked about the “givers” of this world. She said, “You are a success if you make another person smile. If you are a friend to someone who needs a little help, you get an ‘A’!”
After the party, when all the students were outside the hall trying to find their parents and friends, a man and his wife came to me and asked if I was Becky’s mom. I said yes and the man handed me a gift and told me how much they would like thank Becky for her kindness to their daughter, Jessica, during the school sports meeting the week before.
Jessica’s left leg was hurt and she was not able to finish the up-hill race. Becky was worried about her and kept going back to check on her. Jessica’s dad told me that Becky had shown more kindness for her daughter than even the coach, and that he and his wife would never forget her kindness. Of course, by this time I had tears in my eyes, I was so proud of her.
I asked her, “So, does Becky get an ‘A’?”
He just smiled and said, “She gets an ‘A’!”The speech the writer will always remember is about ______.
| A．how to succeed | B．helping others |
| C．how to study well | D．making friends |
After the party, Jessica’s parents looked for the writer to ______.
| A．give her a gift from Becky |

| D．thank Becky’s kindness for Jessica |
Jessica ______ during the sports meeting.

| C．hurt her left leg | D．lost the race |
Which of the following is the best title(题目) for this passage?
| A．She gets an “A” | B．A graduation party |
| C．A popular girl | D．An excellent mother |
Maybe you are more interested in sports than in history. You probably think you will never be a top student. In fact, anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. If you can use your time well, you may improve your study without much work. Here’s how:
Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week time, you should make a list of things that you have to do. First write down the time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide on a good time for studying. Of course, studying shouldn’t take all of your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study. Keep this space, it may be a desk or just a corner of your room. No games, radio, or television! When you sit down to work, think only about the subject!
Make good use of your time in class. Listen carefully to what the teacher says. Careful listening in class means less work later. You also need to take notes in class, because it can make it easier for you to learn well.
There are only a few ways mentioned here to help you with your studying. I believe you can find some other ways, too.
| A．One | B．Two | C．Three | D．Four |
