3．In the fall of 1985，I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Harvard University，aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere.Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma，an amazing woman，graduated from college at the age of 65.She was the first in our family to reach that goal.But one year after I started college，she developed cancer.I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her.It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married with another dream：building my family with a combination of adopted （领养的）and biological children.In 1999，we adopted our first son.To put eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed son No.3.In 2003，I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how fully occupied I became，raising four boys under the age of 8!Our home was a complete zoo…a joyous zoo.Not surprising.I never did make it back to college full-time，but I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice：to find a way.That meant taking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit.But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007，I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
I am not special，just single-minded.It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge，but when you're in the midst of it，it just seems normal.Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day.It's a process.Remember：little steps add up to big dreams.
（1）What does the underlined word "occupied" in the fourth paragraph mean？
A．nervous
B．busy
C．attracted
D．confident
（2）Why did the author leave school in her second year of college？

（3）What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5？
A．Her family life was tiring yet she enjoyed it.
B．She was tired of taking care of her children.
C．She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.
D．She was so confused that she couldn't make a correct choice.
（4）What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph？
A．Failure is the mother of success.
B．Little by little，one goes far.
C．Every coin has two sides.
D．Well begun，half done.组卷：14引用：1难度：0.5 -
4．The San Diego Zoo has been a lovely home for giant pandas since two of the black-and-white bears came to visit in 1987．This week there was snow in San Diego well，at least for a lucky group of giant pandas．
Over 15 tons of snow was blown into the San Diego Zoo's panda area on Tuesday morning to give the endangered bears a chance to play．They would experience the snow just like living in their natural habitat．
The snow day was a first for Xiao Liwu whose name means"Little Gift．"He was the sixth baby panda born to Bai Yun．Xiao Liwu was jumping on Mom，playing with her and getting used to being thrown in the snow by mama bear．Jennifer Becerra，San Diego Zoo keeper said，"He was really enjoying the snow and running around．I've never seen him so happy．"
All the San Diego Zoo's giant pandas are from China，as part of a long-term captive breeding（人工养殖） program．Four of Xiao Liwu's brothers have already been moved from California to China．
Today there are 44 giant pandas living in zoos outside of China，where the bears' only natural home is．As just 1，600 pandas are thought to be left in the wild，researchers insist that captive breeding is an important way to study and protect the endangered pandas．Not only because of the habitat loss from human activities and low reproductive rates（繁殖率），giant pandas' survival is also affected by climate change．A study showed that global warming could kill much of the bears' main food，bamboo，over the next century．
（1）Why was the snow blown into the San Diego Zoo's panda area？
A．To stop the bamboos from dying．
B．To give the pandas a chance to play．

B．Low reproductive rates．
C．Human research．
D．Climate change．
（4）Which of the following is the best title of this passage？
A．Giant pandas in San Diego Zoo
B．Giant pandas in danger
C．Xiao Liwu's happy time
D．How to protect giant pandas
（5）Which of the following is true according to the passage？
A．Captive breeding is the most useful way to protect giant pandas．

5．Li Chuang is a 15-year-old boy，but he has been a smoker for three years．His teeth and fingers have turned a bit yellow．

Not all students smoke as much as Li，but there are lots of child smokers．
A report says 32% of boys and 13% of girls in middle schools in China have smoked．Some are as young as 11 when they first try!
May 31st is World No-Tobacco Day．Health experts（专家） are asking young people not to smoke．
