A

“Another bad day at school?” my father asked as I came into the room.

“How could you tell? I didn’t shut the door heavily or anything,” I replied. Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack across the room every time I came home from school. Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house.

“I know this move has been hard on you. Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough,” Papa said, as he put his arm around my shoulder. “What you must remember is that, with a lot of hard work and some time, you will make new friends.”

“You don’t know how hard it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship. They won’t even give me a chance to pitch (投球) here. All I get to play is right field, and that’s the worst!”

Papa turned toward me. “Things will get better, I promise you. Let me ask you, do you know why you were named David Lorenzo?”

“Yes, your name is David and grandfather’s name is Lorenzo.”

“Very good, and what makes your grandfather so important?”

“He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that,” I answered.

“That is only partly correct. Your grandfather was a very great man. In Mexico, he had been a teacher. When he came to America he could only get low-paid labor jobs because he didn’t speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here, but he did it. He never complained because he knew change could be difficult. Did he ever tell you that?” my father asked.

I looked down at my feet, ashamed at my behavior. “No. That must have been hard,” I said sheepishly.

“Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent, they will accept you for who you are. I want you to always remember what my father taught me, even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are,” said Papa.

All I could say was, “Okay.” Then I asked, “What should I do now?”

Laughing, Papa said, “How about you pitch a few to me? You need some work.”

31. Why was the author unhappy that day?

A. Because he moved to a new country.

B. Because his baseball team lost the game.

C. Because he wasn’t offered a chance to pitch.

D. Because he quarreled with his friends at school.

32. The father successfully changed his son’s mood by ______.

A. asking him to train harder B. telling his grandfather’s story

C. playing baseball with him D. introducing him some new friends

33. The underlined word “sheepishly” probably means ______.

A. cautiously B. patiently C. rudely D. shyly

34. What can we infer about the author?

A. He thinks his father lives in the past.

B. He’d rather live with his grandfather.

C. He will continue to dislike school and everything.

D. He will try his best to adapt to the new environment.

B

The majority of Indian women wear a red dot (圆点) between their eyebrows. While it is generally taken as an indicator of their marital (婚姻的) status, the practice is primarily related to the Hindu religion. The dot goes by different names in different Hindi dialects, and “bindi” is the one that is most commonly known. Traditionally, the dot carries no gender restriction: Men as well as women wear it. However, the tradition of men wearing it has faded in recent times, so nowadays we see a lot more women than men wearing one.

The position of the bindi is standard: center of the forehead, close to the eyebrows. It represents a third, or inner eye. Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes: The two outer ones are used for seeing the outside world, and the third one is there to focus inward toward God. As such, the dot serves as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believer’s thoughts.

Red is the traditional color of the dot. It is said that in ancient times a man would place a drop of blood between his wife’s eyes to seal their marriage. According to Hindu beliefs, the color red is believed to bring good fortune to the married couple. Today, people go with different colors depending upon their preferences. Women often wear dots that match the color of their clothes. Decorative or sticker bindis come in all sizes, colors and variations, and can be worn by young and old, married and unmarried people alike. Wearing a bindi has become more of a fashion statement than a religious custom.

35. Why did people in India start wearing a red dot on their forehead?

A. To indicate their social rank.

B. To show their financial status.

C. To show their religious belief.

D. To highlight their family background.

36. What is the importance of the third eye in Hindu tradition?

A. To pay respect to God.

B. To stay in harmony with nature.

C. To see things with a subjective view.

D. To observe the outside world more clearly.

37. Why was red chosen as the original color of the bindi?

A. The red dot represented the blood of God.

B. Red stood for a wife’s love for her husband.

C. The word “bindi” means “red” in some Hindi dialects.

D. Red was supposed to bring good luck to a married couple.

38. Which of the following statements is true about the practice of wearing a bindi today?

A. Bindis are now used as a decorative item.

B. Bindis are worn anywhere on the face now.

C. Most Indian women do not like to wear bindis anymore.

D. Wearing a bindi has become more popular among Indian men.
