When I was a kid, I was the girl who kept the training wheels on my bike as long as possible. Even my younger sister had got rid of them much earlier than me. But as I began to grow older, this changed.
All this happened on the Bike Safety Day. It is supposed to be a fun day at school when all of us kids bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the opportunity to ride outside and learn proper bike safety. Sounds like fun, right? No. In fact, it caused me to panic. What was I going to say when my friends asked me about my training wheels?
With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels, I determined to let them go. This was the first big change I'd ever made on my own.
I went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than happy to help. We went outside and got my bike. Instead of running away and hiding behind, I stood in front of my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad removed the training wheels.
I got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm. My dad started to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off. The fear faded away and a relaxed mind came into its place. It was crazy to think how quickly I learned something that took so long for me to even try!
My confidence soared. This was going to be the start of a brand new world for me. My accomplishment would carry me forth to new goals and wins. I realized that if I set my mind to something, I could achieve it.

3.阅读理解
I became a magician by accident. When I was nine years old, I learned how to make a coin disappear. I'd read The Lord of the Rings and risked coming into the adult section of the library to search for a book of spells (魔法) — nine being that curious age at which you're old enough to work through more than 1, 200 pages of mysterious fantasy literature but young enough to still hold out hope that you might find a book of real, actual magic in the library. The book I found instead taught basic sleight-of-hand (戏法) technique, and I devoted the next months to practice. Initially, the magic wasn't any good. At first it wasn't even magic; it was just a trick — a bad trick. I spent hours each day in the bathroom running through the secret moves in front of the mirror. I dropped the coin over and over, a thousand times in a day, and after two weeks of this my mom got a carpet sample from the store and placed it under the mirror to eradicate the sound of the coin falling again and again.
I had heard my dad work through passages of new music on the piano, so I knew how to practice — slowly, deliberately, going for precision rather than speed. And then I tried the illusion (错觉) in the mirror and an unbelievable scene took place. It did not look like a magic trick. It looked like a miracle. I knew that I had got what I wanted.
One day I made the performance on the playground. We had been playing football and were standing by the backstop in the field behind the school. A dozen people were watching. I showed the coin to everyone. Then it disappeared. The kids screamed. They yelled, laughed, scrambled away. Everyone went crazy. This was brilliant.
(1)What did the author enter the adult section of the library to do? A. To kill his time.
B. To find a book of magic. C To read The Lord of the Rings. D. To learn knowledge of literature. (2)What does the underlined word \
A. Get rid of. B. Give out. C. Imitate. D. Distinguish. (3)What contributed to the author's success?
A. His mother's help. B. The secret of quick moves. C. The inspiration from his father. D. His repeated hard practice.
(4)How would the author feel about the result of his performance on the playground? A. It's fantastic. B. It's funny. C. It's awkward. D. It's disappointing. 【答案】 (1)B (2)A (3)C (4)A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者变成魔术师是偶然的,并且具体讲述了自己九岁时学习如何让硬币消失的经历。

(2)考查词义猜测。根据第二段讲述作者一开始练习让硬币消失时的练习经历,他每天要在镜子前练1000遍左右,那么硬币也就会掉在地上1000次左右。所以划线单词所在句子句意应为:两周后,妈妈从店里买了一块地毯,把它放在镜子下面,以掩盖硬币一次又一次落下的声音。故选A。
(3)考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“I had heard my dad work through passages of new music on the piano, so I knew how to practice — slowly, deliberately, going for precision rather than speed. And then I tried the illusion (错觉) in the mirror and an unbelievable scene took place. It did not look like a magic trick. It looked like a miracle.”可知,作者是在父亲练习钢琴的经历的启发下,领悟到了练习的真谛,最终取得了成功。故选C。
(4)考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“They yelled, laughed, scrambled away. Everyone went crazy. This was brilliant.”,可知作者在操场上表演完硬币消失之后,其他同学欢呼、大小并且都不知道是如何做到的,每个人都很疯狂。作者认为这个经历是非常棒的。故选A。

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is
