A
I was small for my age. I was shy and sometimes it was hard for me to make friends with others. However, learning came fairly easy for me. I was the best in most of my classes, but PE class was my nightmare (噩梦) and made me feel that I was not as good as the others. Miss Forsythe was our PE teacher. She was young and energetic. Everyone liked her. She said that we all had to come to her classes. No one could hide from Miss Forsythe!
One day she told me that she wanted me to play a game with another girl in a PE show. I was rather worried that I wouldn’t do a good job as she explained her idea, but she was excited. With her encouragement, I had no choice but to agree.
It was a \girl. We were dressed in evening clothes and danced around the floor. According to Miss Forsythe, I had to pick up Margaret Ann when we finished the dance. Since I was not strong enough to pick the tallest girl up, it was she who picked me up. I suddenly felt ten feet tall! It was a huge success and everybody applauded (鼓掌) for our excellent performance. What a wonderful ending!
Afterwards, I smiled confidently (自信地).Miss Forsythe’s understanding and willingness to create a place for me in her show (which certainly did not need me) gave me some much needed confidence. She was and always will be my favorite teacher.
21. What do we know about Miss Forsythe? A. She was a strict and understanding teacher. B. She was good at dancing.
C. She liked to play games with the students after class. D. She taught students how to dance.
22. How did the author feel about the game at first? A. She was excited. B. She was nervous.
C. She was disappointed. D. She thought it would be fun. 23. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________. A. the author lost confidence by dancing with her classmate B. Miss Forsythe helped the author pick up the tallest girl C. the author was afraid when she felt ten feet tall
D. Miss Forsythe had planned the game that way on purpose 24. What is the best title for the passage? A. PE Classes B. My School Life
C. Our PE Teacher —Miss Forsythe D. A Game with My Classmate

Do you know how to tell a story? The following are some tips:
Who Will Listen?
Will you tell your story to people of your own age? Will they be friends or young people you
haven’t met before? Perhaps you will tell it to younger children, or will it be an audience of adults? Will it be just a few people, a small group, or a large audience? Why Are You Telling It?
There are many reasons for telling a story. Knowing why you are telling it may be the most
helpful reason in choosing a story for a particular audience.
Many storytellers choose tales just to entertain(娱乐). They tell jokes or silly stories. Others
want to teach something, such as how to be kinder to animals, the environment, or other people. One storyteller likes to encourage his listeners to try new things. Some babysitters tell stories to help children not to be afraid of thunder, lightning or frightening shadows in their rooms. Others want to make people think or to help people remember. Some like to frighten their audience with ghost (鬼) stories. Where Will You Speak?
How you tell your story and what story helpers you use will depend on where you will be speaking. Will you be talking at an evening party, in your classroom, in a library storytelling program, at a family dinner, at a museum, or at a storytelling festival?
25. The passage is mainly about ___________. A. the audience to whom you tell stories
B. the situation where you can tell a story C. the reasons for telling a story D. important tips for telling a story
