For my second birthday I received my first car. It was purple and white with black wheels, and I would ride up and down the driveway. I had the most environmentally sound car ever invented, with leaves as fuel (燃料) and my feet as its engine (引擎). I loved pretending I could drive, and was always waiting for that day when I could drive for real. The summer of my 16th birthday finally arrived, and after all the nervousness and excitement, I got my *learners permit. I stared (盯着) at it and I couldnt wait to drive. It seemed like years before my dad took me for my first lesson. It was actually only four days, but they felt like a lifetime. Dad brought me to an empty parking area. All I could think about was driving myself to school. When I sat in the drivers seat for the first time, though, I was excited and scared. After five minutes of adjusting the seat, it was time to start my parents car. I put one foot on the gas pedal (油门) and the other on the brake (刹车) and my dad gave me a strange look. “What are you doing?” he asked.“Putting my foot on the brake,” I said confidently. I had passed my permit test; I knew how to drive.“Never use your left foot, switch between the brake and gas pedals with your right foot only,” he explained. Thats when I realized I actually had no idea what I was doing, but was too excited to care. Carefully, we began to move slowly toward the first turn. Dad and I spent the afternoon going over the basics. For at least an hour I heard, “Good job”, “What are you doing?” and “If you were on the road, you would have just hit a parked car.” At that point, whatever Dad said didnt really matter. I thought I had done well. After all the time I had waited to drive, the moment had finally come. I had driven, and I couldnt wait to do it again. For the next month I asked to drive almost every day. I drove in parking lots, and finally on the road. Driving is an important step in my life. It shows that I have grown up. In some ways Im still that little girl trying to get my parents to push her, but now Im starting to push myself.25. The author wrote the first paragraph mainly to _.A. show her talent for drivingB. describe what her first car looked likeC. show her strong interest in driving D. describe her first real driving experience26.

But touching things can help you to see them better.Your eyes can tell you that glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.All children soon learn what “Dont touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy, such as food, clothes and so on. To see something well, we have to touch it.The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a bad floor. All feel different under your feet.There are ways of learning to see well by feeling.One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch! There you can feel everything on show. If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then youll really see!”29.

Ways of Feeling DIt is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what has happened in your life builds or destroys you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them. Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not lose heart. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Concentrate on the good one. Look at the bright side.Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you, who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.33.
