阅读理解
When I was 12 years
old, I already knew that my teen years were going
to be the worst years of
my life. I was
a total outsider, bullied
(
欺凌
) at school. I felt
completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer
work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a
passion for
helping
others.
The
opportunity
to
practice
kindness
made
me
feel
like
my
life
had
a
greater
purpose.
The
more
positive
energy
I
shared,
the
more
kindness
and
appreciation
I
received.
I
realized that my purpose in life would
be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers,
and help
them feel less
alone.
Books were my
true friends back then. I was so thankful that the
authors wrote those books.
The kindness
they offered me with their books saved my life.
One of my biggest dreams was to
become
an author so I could write books that would help
other teenagers the way those books
helped me.
After
surviving
terrible
experiences
at
school
and
at
home,
I
made
a
choice
to
take
the
optimistic, positive road in the next
steps of my journey. My dream career, one I
thought was only
possible for the
authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have
been a full-time author of teen
novels
since
2007
and
am
grateful
for
this
amazing
opportunity
to
reach
out
to
readers
every
single day.
Kindness
saved
me
when
I
needed
help
the
most.
Even
small
acts
of
kindness
can
change
someone's
life.
You
never
know
what
someone
else
is
going
through.
But
by
practicing
daily
kindness, you become
an architect of positive change.

Directions:
Choose the one that fits best according to the
information given in the passage
you
have just read.
When
she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out
of school to teach people dance. If
that job was left to any other ten-
year-old, it would have turned out frustrating,
difficult, and a
little
discouraging.
But Duncan was different. Not only was she already
talented enough to earn money even at
that
age,
but
she
also
had
a
rare
kind
of
confidence
that
helped
her
treat
troubles
as
fuel
—
something
to elevate the fire that is already burning inside
of her.
It's no
surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to
join a theatre company, she found
herself restricted. The existing
dancing style, their way of
operating
—
all of this seemed
to her the
work
of
a
misguided
past.
Duncan
was
very
direct
about
what
she
wanted,
confidently
telling
people
she
had
a
different
vision
of
dance
that
she
was
going
to
spread
in
the
world.
This,
naturally,
led
to
ridicule
and
laughs
early
on,
but
as
she
built
up
her
work,
these
instances
became less
frequent. Today, she is remembered as
modern
art
owing
its
expressive
style
to
her
influence.
Inspired
by
the
ancient
Greeks,
she
brought the style to life.
In her autobiography
(
自传
), one of the things
Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of her
expressive spirit is the fact that she
had a childhood where she wasn't constantly
watched. The
expectations
of
her
mother
(who
raised
her)
were
open-ended.
It
was
the
freedom
of
this
lifestyle
that drove her to see what she could
do.
Growing
up,
before
she
left
school,
she
was
told
one
of
two
things:
that
she
was
either
completely
useless
or
that
she
was
a
genius.
There
was
nothing
in
between.
Even
when
she
started
working, people either bowed to her or they
basically ignored her. But there wasn't one
moment Duncan doubted her own
genius.
There is an old
quotation
life believing that it is
stupid.
a failure. In the dance hall,
she gave form to brilliance.

What does the
underlined phrase

about Duncan?

she was little destroyed her

beginning.
mother set
higher expectation on her than she could
bear.

readers in the last paragraph?

to catch fish.

about?

today.

reasons for her success.

Recently whenever I

of Hurricane
Harvey on thousands of people caught my eyes. We

mankind.
As
a
journalist, I wrote many human
interesting stories during my career. That's why
the story about
the guys in the bakery
caught my eyes.
When the
staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were
trapped inside the building for two
days, they didn't sit there feeling
sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely
after flooding
caused
by
Hurricane
Harvey.
While
they
were
waiting
for
the
eventual
rescue
that
came
on
Monday morning, four decided to make as
many loaves of bread as possible for their
community.
The
flood
water
rose
in
the
street
outside.
They
took
advantage
of
their
emergency
power
supply to bake bread.
They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to
create hundreds of loaves
and sheets of
sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they
continued baking to help more
people.
By the time the owner managed to get to them, they
had made so much bread that we
took the
loaves to loads of emergency centers across the
city for people affected by the floods.
The
store
manager,
Brian
Alvarado,
told
The
Independent,
a

nobody should just
feel

we should take
positive action to save ourselves and
