I know we don’t have many serious talks, but now that I am on the edge of being an adult, I feel that you need to know and understand me. During the past nine years that we have been in America, I have grown greatly, changed from that wide-eyed and scared little girl to a proud and brave young woman. The change wasn’t always smooth, and I wasn’t always patient, but you were both always understanding. And through your understanding I have learned.
I have learned from you. Dad, you wake up every morning to go to the steel plant, where people don’t speak your language and you don’t speak theirs. I know that if you were in Vietnam, you would be comfortably surrounded by friends. But you are here in America, doing what you don’t like, and through that, you are teaching your children the power of persistence.
I have learned from you, Mom, you cook nice Vietnamese sour soup and fish, wait up at nights for your daughters. When I see you pacing back and forth because your daughters aren’t home yet, I cry because I see so much pain in your eyes, and through your pain I learn the meaning of home a sanctuary that I will always be able to turn to.
Through all your sacrifices I learn the essence of being human. I learn to love. I find that this love leads me to you, to the home, to the fact that I am Vietnamese-American. The dreams that you have taught me slowly begin to take shape as I walk down the college path, step into the adult world and adventure out of your world. Wherever I go, I carry my past with me, knowing that you will always be there behind me and I will always come back, because you are where my home is.

If you are a TV addict, you can’t have missed the popular sitcom(情景喜剧) Home With Kids. The lead characters, 17-year-old Xiao Xue and 14-year-old Liu Xing can remind us of our own behavior or our classmates. We love the two teenagers, but are they good students? And what makes a good student?
“Being a student is a kind of occupation, so a good student should have good grades. Based on their school reports, clever and diligent, Xiao Xue is a much better student than her brother, Liu Xing,” says Wu Hao, 16, Chifeng in Inner Mongolia. “The boy should work harder at studying since our duty as students is to study well.”
It is generally accepted that getting good scores is crucial for a student. So to some, being a good student means ranking high in your class or even your school. However, Wu also admits that a student’s personality is more important in being a role model student.
“Honesty and kindness make you admirable. But Xiao Xue can be selfish, dishonest and arrogant, which make others feel uncomfortable to be around her. So she has a lot yet to improve on,” Wu said.
Many teenagers do not think it is fair to judge students by their grades. Take Liu Xing for example. He is bright, good at computers and does everything else well like any other 14-year-old except studying.
“He is smart, humorous and always has fancy ideas which makes him popular. I guess he could be an excellent student if he attended school in the United States, where high grades are not so important and creativity is hailed,” says Jia Xiaoxu, 17, Hefei, Anhui.
From the US hit movie High School Musical, Jia discovers her role model.
“Gabriella in the movie is an ideal student. She is ranked top but is not seen as a bookworm. She is sweet and sociable. Most importantly, Gabriella is always ‘hungry’ to try new things and actively participates in different kinds of activities,” she said.
40. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Two lovely middle school students.
B. A discussion about what makes a good student.
C. How to get high rank in study.
D. Study and personality.
41. Which statement is NOT true according to Wu Hao?
A. A good grade is the most important for a good student.
B. A student’s personality is more important for a role model student.
C. Xiao Xue still has some shortcomings which need to be improved.
D. Xiao Xue is much better in study than her brother Liu Xing.
42. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of Liu Xing according to the passage?
A. He is smart and humorous.
B. He gets on well with Xiao Xue.
C. He does everything well except study.
D. He is good at computer and creative.
43. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. To be good students, we should be eager to learn and take part in different activities.
B. To be good students, we should work hard.
C. To be good students, we should not be addicted to books.
D. To be good students, we should only concern about social issues.
