Bill was a boy of 15. His parents went gambling(赌博) day and night. Nobody cared about him. He always failed in his exams. So his teachers didn't like him, nor did his classmates play with him.

Bill often slept in class because his heart was not in school. He almost gave himself up.

One day, Miss Jones, a new teacher, came to Bill's class. She was a smiling, beautiful woman. Bill was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn't take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed.

Although I was never a thin girl, I was always fit because I played basketball from the 5th grade right through college. But after graduation, I got married and gave up playing basketball. Then I started eating too much. In 10 years, my weight increased from 175 to 245 pounds. What was even worse, my son picked up a bad eating habit. As a four-year-old boy, he liked having French fries because he often saw me put those things into my mouth.

I read an article in my husband's health magazine. It said that being too fat can shorten a person's life by five to ten years. That was scary. I didn't want to leave my son because of my poor eating habits. After that, every time I wanted to have French fries, I would think that I could be here a little bit longer if I just ate better.

One of my friends told me that an organization was offering a free course to help people lose weight, so I decided to join it. The teacher gave each type of food a certain number of calories(卡路里), and how many calories we needed to eat a day. After I came home from the first class, I calculated(计算)the calories of food in my meal. If I wanted, I could have pizza every night. But when I learned that one piece had a lot of calories, I decided not to eat as many pieces as I wanted.

Finally, I succeeded in losing 50 pounds. In February, 2012, I was on the cover of a health magazine. And my husband always told other people that I looked better than ever.

16. How many pounds in weight did the writer increase in 10 years?

A. 50 pounds.   B. 70 pounds.

C. 120 pounds.   D. 175 pounds.

A. formed  B. won C. chose  D. collected

18. According to her husband's health magazine, being too fat can ________.

A. help women give birth to babies

What made me want to be a fashion designer? I often watch TV. The fashion shows on TV are fascinating. The tall, thin models wear beautiful clothes and walk beautifully on the stage. So I decide to be a designer and design beautiful clothes for people and make them look even better.

I have all kinds of dolls and I enjoy looking at their colorful clothes. I often change my dolls' clothes. I try to put one doll's clothes on another doll and see how it looks. Sometimes a skirt looks nice on one doll, but doesn't look so good on another.

I also like reading fashion magazines. They are quite expensive, but my parents say they will pay for them if I am really interested in reading them. They want me to learn as much as possible. For me, ②我会尽最大的努力实现自己的梦想。I believe that one day my parents will take pride in what I can do.

How I Have Changed

I have changed a lot since I was in this school three years ago.

I still remember① that in my first year, I was too weak to① do much exercise and I was not good at English. But with the help of the teachers and classmates, I did exercise whenever I was free②. What's more③, I tried my best to read and write English as much as possible. And now③ I can run much faster and I can also get better English grades.

Thanks to④ the middle school life, I have changed so much. Thanks to④ the teachers and classmates, I have learnt a lot. Never will I forget the valuable middle school life.④

点评: 本文采用“总分法”描述变化。先“总述变化”, 再“分述过去和现在”, 最后“提出希望”。
