Ⅰ.阅读理解
It was a cold morning, and Eduardo Ortega was nervous. He held a large envelope. In it
was his dream.
“This is everything，” he said. “I’ve worked for this since I was a young boy.”
Eduardo remembered the long hours working in the fields, picking strawberries and
beans. After the workday, his tired friends drank coffee or slept. Eduardo studied, read, and
wrote poetry and short stories. Although he missed many classes, he became the school’s best
student.
One school year, Eduardo wrote an essay (文章) and won a prize — a flying trip to
San Francisco. As he flew, he felt free from his life of hard work in the fields. He promised
himself not to return to that life. He loved to fly.
This morning, Eduardo caught the school bus and went to school with the envelope. He
walked past his classmates and sat down at his desk. He opened the envelope and began
reading the letter inside. It was the answer to his application to the state university. It was
also the answer to the beginning of his dream of becoming a pilot.
Even though Eduardo worked to help his family, his father always encouraged him to
go to school. So, while he worked, he also studied.
Eduardo knew that his dream was his father’s dream, too. His father was a smart man,
but he was too poor to go to college. He loved to read, but never had time, because he
worked long hours.
Now, as Eduardo read the words, “Congratulations ... you have been accepted，” he
knew that his dream was not lost. One day, he would be a pilot, flying every day to all the
exciting places in the world.

It’s funny that you can always tell when somebody’s laughing behind your back. Jodie
hadn’t really heard anything, maybe a whisper (耳语), but when she turned around, the girls
in the back row of the class were looking at her, trying to hide smiles and laughs. She looked
back at her teacher. Mr Swales was talking about what people did all day. He also wanted to
find out what his students wanted to be when they grew up. He called on Billy first.
“My daddy works in a bank，” Billy said. “I guess I want to work in a bank, too.
There’s lots of money in the bank.”
“My daddy runs a company，” Emmy said. “My daddy is the big boss. And I want to
be a boss, too.”
Jodie liked it when Mr Swales asked them questions like this. He was about to call on
Jodie when the girls in the back row suddenly started laughing. Shirley shouted, “Jodie’s
daddy is a garbage man (清洁工)！” Everyone in the class laughed out loud.
Jodie felt her face turn red.




参考范文：
Jodie felt her face turn red. Lowering her head, she felt like crying. “Silence！” Mr
Swales said aloud. “Being a garbage man is a difficult and useful job. Hard work done well
is something to be proud of.” The teacher’s words reminded Jodie of her father’s rough
hands. Her father worked so hard to support the family. How could she feel ashamed of her
father? Although her father’s work seemed to be a humble one, his devotion to the job would

be everlasting and encouraging. At that moment, a smile gradually appeared on her face.
