Test 1

Counting the votes took about five minutes， but it seemed like hours. At last， afterthree long years， the“PCHS”letters on my uniform would soon be edged with gold cords（金线）， identifying me as the important captain of Polk County High School cheerleaders（啦啦队队员）， which was quite an accomplishment before I ended my school days in ablaze of glory.

“Girls，”she began，“it is my pleasure to announce that Terry Shaw has been electedcaptain of Polk County High School cheerleading team.”A resounding cheer was heardthroughout the gym. How could this be？ I havent missed a practice or a game in the pastthree years. Terry couldnt claim this flawless record.

Everyone gathered around Terry with congratulations， but I was glued to my seat thatonly moments before was the springboard to my throne （宝座）. She had stolen my thunderand swept my dream right out from me. Finally， I walked over to Terry on shaky legs andmanaged words of“Good luck， Terry”in a whisper that barely masked my urge to cry. Ter⁃ry hugged me close and said，“I wasnt expecting this， Annie. What a shock.”I didnt replyto her with mean words， but deep inside I wanted to do just that.

All the way home， I sobbed. There was no way I was going to stay in a team so blindthat they couldnt see the one most deserving of being named captain. I slammed the frontdoor， stomped（重踩）up the steps and threw myself onto my bed in a dramatic display ofsobs and sighs that eventually gave way to sleep.

The next morning I marched over to my closet and took out my uniform. Once it was inmy hands and I held it close to me， I knew I couldnt quit. Heartbroken as I was， my truelove was cheering with my teammates.

How hard it was to go to the first practice after Terry had been named captain. The mo⁃ment I arrived， Coach Maguire asked me to take three of the new girls and work with themon our basic practice. Terry was assigned three as well.

Paragraph 1：

Just then Terry asked me if we could gather all the girls and work with them together.______________

Paragraph 2：

At the end of the year， the Annual Sports Award Ceremony was held to honor the valu⁃able players and cheerleaders._____________

Test 2

I'm smaller than everyone else of my age. When I walk in the halls at school， I have tosqueeze in between the bigger kids to get by. At the playground， sometimes even little kidstry to boss me around. Mia， my best friend， is so tall that when she walks， I have to jog tokeep up with her.

I used to try to make myself taller whenever I could. My posture was perfect， straightas an arrow. I hung from the tree in our backyard to stretch out my arms and legs. I even ateall my vegetables. Every day I measured myself， but I was the same height every time. Frus⁃trating！

“Don't worry，”Mom always said.“Being small has its advantages.”“Really？ I couldnever notice any.”

One day， Mrs Alvarez announced to the class that wed be putting on a spring play. Ipracticed all the lines. But at the audition （试演）， when I walked up to the stage， Mrs Alva⁃rez cried，“Youll be perfect as the elf （小精灵）！ Youre just the right size for the costume.”

I even never got a chance to deliver the practiced lines. Back home I grumbled （咕哝） toMom that I was made to play the role of an elf， but she bet I would be the best elf. To pleaseher， I went to rehearsals （排练）， though I only had two lines.

Mia got the lead role—a girl wandering through a magical fairy forest in search of herlost dog. In the last scene， she finds a box under a giant mushroom， and when she opens it，her dog jumps out. Mrs Alvarezs dog， Prince， played the role of the dog. She brought him toall the rehearsals， and when he wasnt onstage， we got to play with him， and he seemed tolike me best.

The night of the show， my first line came early，“Lets ask the Fairy Queen！”Since myonly other line was toward the end of the play， I waited offstage， playing with Prince.

Paragraph 1：

Finally， the grand end came， and Prince was brought onstage inside the box.__________________

Paragraph 2：

“How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage？”Mrs Alvarez asked.____________________

Test 3

Half is more

Being the mother of three active children， I enjoyed volunteering at their school and at⁃tending their music concerts. One morning， my youngest son asked，“Mom， are you comingto the concert at my school next month？”

“You know I am， so why are you asking？”

“Well， um， please dont wear your clown blouse，”he said.

“What blouse are you talking about？”I said.

Looking at the floor， he softly replied，“The bright blue one with yellow flowers and itties in a big bow at the neck.”

He had just described my favorite blouse. Suddenly I started laughing and couldntstop because I had to admit it did look a bit clownish. With tears running down my face anda big smile， I promised him，“I will never wear that blouse again.”
