Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. Green said, "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would 1 ." Blue interrupted, "You only think about the 2 , but consider the sky and the sea. 3 the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. Without my peace, you would all be 4 ." Yellow chuckled （笑道), "You are all so serious. I bring laughter, fun, and 5 into the world." Orange started next to blow her trumpet, "I am the color of health and strength. I may be 6 , but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. When I fill the sky 7 , my beauty is so striking that no one gives another 8 to any of you." Red could stand it 9 and he shouted out, "I am the ruler of all of you. I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to 10 truth. I am also the color of passion and of love." Then came Purple and Indigo （深蓝)… The colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own 11 . Their quarreling became louder and louder.

Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, 16 ？ Join hands with 17 and come to me." Doing as they were told, the colors 18 and joined hands. They formed a colorful rainbow.

I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives （观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in. With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works, what doesn't and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has. Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction （文学作品). As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter-the volume （量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

A. an idea B. a sound quality C. a way of writing D. a world to write about
What effect does reading have on the author？[ ]
A. It helps him to realize his dream. B. It opens up a wider world for him. C. It makes his college life more interesting. D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.
Which of the following can be the best title of this text？[ ]
A. Why do I read？ B. How do I read？ C. What do I read？ D. When do I read？

Many things have happened throughout my life, but recently, I have noticed a change in me. After my junior year in high school, I got a job at Freeport Medical Center; in addition, I worked at New Rice Bow Restaurant two nights a week. I am in school while holding two jobs at the same time, which gives me a lot of responsibilities and takes up a large amount of time. Working two jobs and staying in school is not exactly what I call fun. However, my heavy workload （工作负担) is worth the trouble because I am getting a lesson about responsibility from it. I work twenty- one hours per week. This has changed me greatly, considering that I have understood the need to be organized and responsible. Having this knowledge has prepared me for college. All of these points are going to affect me in the future since I am expecting much more when I move out. Being independent means having more responsibilities, more than what I have now. At least now I have a feeling of what it is going to be like once I am out of my mother's care. I will have to pay for my own rent, food, clothes and various necessary things. I have to be a responsible person now in order to pass the tests of life. Hopefully, I will be able to depend upon myself without any help from others. Like everyone else, I want to flourish in the world, and find my meaning of life. In order to finish these tasks, I have to be responsible and be aware （意识, 明白) of what I should do so that I can do them right.
According to the writer, holding two jobs while staying in school makes him _____.[ ]
A. earn enough money to pay for the tuition （学费) B. be able to move out of the family early C. be aware of the importance of responsibility D. have fun out of it
According to the author's opinion, a responsible person should be able to _____.[ ]
A. master all kinds of living skills B. pass the various tests of life C. do everything without others' help D. do part-time jobs besides study
The underlined word "flourish" in the last paragraph probably means "_____".[ ]
A. to swing back and forth B. to live a good and happy life C. to be responsible for one's life D. to be aware of what one should do
The underlined word "flourish" in the last paragraph probably means "_____".[ ]
