Looking back at the past year, I cannot describe how hard it has been for me mentally and physically.For a long time I suffered in silence. I felt as if I was running in circles(圆圈). I kept my tears to my sleep and my loneliness in my bedroom.After my father’s death, I began channeling all that pain into dance. But as a fairly new dancer, I haven’t had too much stage experience. I recently performed at my school’s winter concert for one of my classmates who is dealing with a rare illness. I dedicated(献上)the dance to her and my father. I only had one week. I was so anxious that I felt like I was having a heart attack.Luckily, my best friends came to my aid. What they said to me was one of the kindest things anyone has ever said. I will never forget what one of them said: “You are so beautiful because of your heart and beautiful mind. You have more kindness than some will ever have. I saw how much that dance meant to you, especially how it connected with your memories. It made me cry, that is how incredible you are.”Just surround（环绕）yourself with people like my friend who will never think little of you. I am so proud of how much I’v e achieved and I know I will keep going, just as my father would have wished.1．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?A. She had no gift for dancingB.

I started writing poems as a hobby in 1994. At the time, I never gave any thought to publishing them; I just wrote for my own amusement. But it was so much fun that I ended up writing a lot of poems, which led me to the idea of creating a website, and at last writing books. If you want to write poems, I have some advice for you.My ideas mostly come from my imagination. That is, I like to sit and daydream, and see what kinds of crazy things I can think up. For kids, I suggest that whenever you think of an idea, you should write it down, even if you don’t have time write them to create a whole poem from your idea. I have notebooks full of ideas that I haven’t written poems about yet. So I can always look through my notebooks and find something fun to write about.One way to make poems interesting is to write about things readers can understand: school, family, food, pets, games, sports, and so on. To make a poem funny, I often ask myself, “What kinds of funny things might happen at school, or over dinner? What fu nny things might your pets do?” and it’s OK to make things up, such as having a pet elephant, or a pet that plays video games. Use your imagination and see where it leads. But the best advice I can give kids is not to just write one poem, it might be a great one, or maybe not so good. But if you write ten poems, you’ll probably find that, even though they aren’t all perfect, a few of them are much better than the others.4．Why did the author start writing poems at first?A.
