You can renew your passport up to 9 months before it can no longer be legally used. So take the time now and save the tears later.
Applying for a passport for the first time

My mother and I don’t speak the same language. Her English is not good, and my Mandarin stopped at the picture-book level on the day I started kindergarten in California, as I realized that the few English words I knew weren’t going to get me very far. I immersed (沉浸) myself in strange grammar and new vocabulary. As my mother tongue withered (逐渐淡去) in my mind, English allowed me to explain my personhood here and silence the narrative that I was just a shy, odd Asian.
My wish to write, however, made me unintelligible to my mother. She couldn’t understand why I’d spoil other better chances. I’d tried to communicate with her in Chinese, searching my mind for sentences: How could I describe my gratitude for a path to self-fulfillment when all I could say was “kai xin” or “happy” Without the words to bridge the gap between our worldviews, our dissatisfaction and worry turned into stubbornness.
I landed a day job editing a design magazine but worked on my novel in my off-hours. As its main characters, Marissa and Kathleen’s mother-daughter relationship was similar to my own, troubled and split by cultural differences—though always revived by love. But the book is in English, so my mom won’t be able to read it.
Writing the book gave me a reason to mine for details about my family. I’d spent so much of my adolescence shedding (摆脱) my background that when I reached adulthood, I became interested in our history. I started asking questions, hoping to find a new understanding of us.
Her answers were mixed with joyful memories, like the pleasant smell of the flowers my mother would pin to her blouse, or the hubbub(喧闹)of visiting her cousins in the countryside. As her world became clearer to me, I came closer to knowing who she is.
When I showed my mother a copy, she noticed her Chinese name in the acknowledgments and said in Mandarin with a shaking voice, “Now I know you truly love me.” I wish it hadn’t taken this long to find a way to tell her. She may not understand it word for word, but I know she gets the message.
4. Why did the author start to learn English
A. She hoped to read picture books in kindergarten.
B. She was eager to introduce herself to more people.
C. She realized its importance to her life in the country.
D. She found the language strange but fairly easy to learn.
5. What does the underlined word “unintelligible” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Sensitive. B. Sympathetic.
C. Grateful. D. Incomprehensible.
6. What motivated the author to dig into her family history
A. Her interest in her own childhood.
B Her curiosity about other cultures.
C. Her desire to know her mother better.
D. Her need for inspiration for her novel.
7 How did the author’s mother react to the acknowledgments of the book
A. She was surprised by it.
B. She was deeply moved and felt loved.
C. She was disappointed that she couldn’t read the book.
D. She was grateful for the author’s efforts to understand her.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者与母亲之间因为语言问题而无法完全理解对方。作者酷爱写作，通过写小说，她挖掘家族历史，重新认识了母亲，也加深了彼此之间理解。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Her English is not good, and my Mandarin stopped at the picture-book level on the day I started kindergarten in California, as I realized that the few English words I knew weren’t going to get me very far.（她的英语不好，而我的普通话在我开始在加州上幼儿园的那天就停留在了绘本的水平上，因为我意识到我知道的几个英语单词并不能让我走得很远。）”可知，因为作者意识到自己所知道的几个英语单词是无法支撑她前行的，即作者意识到了想要在这个国家生活，就得会英语。故选C。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“She couldn’t understand why I’d spoil other better chances. I’d tried to communicate with her in Chinese, searching my mind for sentences: How could I describe my gratitude for a path to self-fulfillment when all I could say was “kai xin” or “happy” Without the words to bridge the gap between our worldviews, our dissatisfaction and worry turned into stubbornness.（她不明白我为什么要破坏其他更好的机会。我试着用中文和她交流，在脑子里寻找句子:当我只能说“开心”或“快乐”时，我该如何表达我对一条自我实现之路的感激之情呢 没有语言来弥合我们世界观之间的差距，我们的不满和担忧变成了固执。）可知，母亲不明白作者为什么要浪费更好的机会。作者曾试图用中文与她沟通，该如何表达对这条道路的感激之情呢 由于无法找到弥合二人世界观差异的词语，她们的不满和担忧变成了执拗。由此可推知，母亲无法理解作者。画线词与D项“incomprehensible”含义相近，表示“难以理解的，费解的”。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的最后一句“I started asking questions, hoping to find a new understanding of us.（我开始问问题，希望找到对我们的新理解。）”可知，作者挖掘家族的历史是为了更好地了解母亲。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When I showed my mother a copy, she noticed her Chinese name in the acknowledgments and said in Mandarin with a shaking voice, “Now I know you truly love me.”（当我拿给母亲看时，她注意到了致谢中她的中文名字，用颤抖的声音用普通话说:“现在我知道你是真的爱我了。”）”可推断，母亲看到书中的致谢词时很感动，感受到了来自女儿的爱。故选B。
C

If you think of a game of fetch, you might picture a dog running back and forth, eagerly recovering a ball. But a new study shows that they’re not the only pets that like the game: Cats play fetch, too, just on their own unique terms.
The researchers discovered almost 1,000 owners of 1,154 cats to find out if and why. According to their findings, nearly 95% of the cat owners reported that their cats fetched items naturally. One respondent said his cat returned the toy completely for no reason.
Fetching was mainly first noticed when cats were under I year old. What’s more, “cats who fetch largely determine when they engage in fetching activities and actively influence the play behavior of their owners,” according to the study. “So, it can say a bit about cats being in control of their interactions and being in control of their environments, even being in control of us. You might even go so far to say,” says Jemma Forman, the co-author of the study.
But the motivation for cats to fetch objects seems to be different from that for dogs. Cats are more likely to play on their own with objects similar to prey (猎物). For dogs, play is more social, involving either another dog or human.
In general, play has major advantages for both the pet and the owner, as it not only helps to prevent attack towards, the owner, but also models the act of preying on real animals, an important kind of play behavior. “So even if your cat doesn’t play fetch, obviously it’s a really good idea to try and engage them in any sort of play. Play does have a lot of benefits,” says Forman. “It’s about owner acceptance to your fur baby,” she says.
12. Why does the author mention dogs in Paragraph 1
A. To offer basic information of dogs.
B. To make an outline for the passage.
C. To introduce the topic of the passage.
D. To conclude the meaning of the topic.
13. How does the author develop Paragraph 2
A. By raising questions. B. By listing data.
C. By making a comparison. D. By offering an example.
14. What does a cat think of playing with an object
A. A social action. B. A learning process.
C. A serious task. D. A preying activity.
15. What would be the best title for this passage
A. Cats Play Fetch, Too B. Train Cats to Fetch
C. New Findings on Dogs D. Dogs Play Fetch, Too
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是一项新的研究表明猫也会玩接球游戏，只是它们有自己独特的方式。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If you think of a game of fetch, you might picture a dog running back and forth, eagerly recovering a ball. But a new study shows that they’re not the only pets that like the game: Cats play fetch, too, just on their own unique terms.(如果你想到捡球游戏，你可能会想到一只狗跑来跑去，急切地捡回一个球。但一项新的研究表明，它们并不是唯一喜欢这个游戏的宠物:猫也会玩接球游戏，只是它们有自己独特的方式。)”可知，作者在第一段提到狗是为了介绍文章的主题：猫也喜欢接球游戏。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The researchers discovered almost 1,000 owners of 1,154 cats to find out if and why. According to their findings, nearly 95% of the cat owners reported that their cats fetched items naturally.(研究人员找到了1154只猫的近1000名主人，以找出原因。根据他们的发现，近95%的猫主人报告说，他们的猫自然地拿东西。)”可知，第二段主要是通过列出数据来展开的，故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But the motivation for cats to fetch objects seems to be different from that for dogs. Cats are more likely to play on their own with objects similar to prey (猎物).(但是猫拿东西的动机似乎与狗不同。猫更有可能自己玩类似猎物的东西。)”可知，猫在玩东西时会以为这是一个捕猎活动，故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“But a new study shows that they’re not the only pets that like the game: Cats play fetch, too, just on their own unique terms.(但一项新的研究表明，它们并不是唯一喜欢这个游戏的宠物：猫也会玩接球游戏，只是它们有自己独特的方式。)”可知，本文主要讲的是猫也会玩接球游戏，只是它们有自己独特的方式，因此最好的题目是A选项“Cats Play Fetch, Too(猫也玩接球游戏)”。故选A。

My mom only had one eye. I hated her. She was such an embarrassment.
She ran a small shop at a flea market, and collected old clothes and some other things to sell for the money we needed. Once during elementary school, it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed and wondered how could she do this to me I threw her a hateful look and ignored her. The next day at school, my schoolmates asked me, “your mom only has one eye ” and taunted me.
I was so angry with my mom and wished that she would just disappear from this world. So l said to my mom, “Why don’t you have the other eye ! If you’re only gonna make me a laughing stock!” My mom did not respond, I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, I felt so good to have had said what I wanted to say. Maybe it was because I was full of anger then and there, I didn’t think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.
For the words I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty. I told myself that I would become successful in the near future and get out of that house for good, so I studied very hard. Later I got accepted by the Seoul University, I left my mother and came to Seoul to study. Then I got married there.
I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I am living happily as a successful man. I enjoy the life in Seoul because it’s a place that doesn’t remind me of my mom past. This kind of happiness was getting bigger and bigger, until one day someone knocked at my door. It was my mom! And still with her one eye! It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom’s eye.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I screamed at her, “Who are you I don’t know you!” My mother lowered her head and quietly answered, “1 feel so sorry that I have come to the wrong place. I hope I didn’t bring you much trouble.” Then she turned around and walked down the stairs slowly. I realized that my anger hurt my mother again with a flush of guilt welling up in my heart. The few seconds my mother took to disappear from the corner seemed to be a century to me. To my astonishment, days later, a call from my mother’s neighbor came to me, saying my mom had passed away and asked me to hold the funeral.
After the funeral (葬礼), the neighbor gave me a letter saying, “My dearest son, I’m sorry that I delivered so much embarrassment to you when you were growing up. In fact, when you were very little, you had an accident and lost your eye. Unable to bear seeing you grow up with one eye, as a mother, I made the choice to give you mine. So proud was I that you could see a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.” It was at that moment that I ultimately came to realize that mother’s unfailing love towards me will never fade.

My mother and I don’t speak the same language. Her English is not good, and my Mandarin stopped at the picture-book level on the day I started kindergarten in California, as I realized that the few English words I knew weren’t going to get me very far. I immersed (沉浸) myself in strange grammar and new vocabulary. As my mother tongue withered (逐渐淡去) in my mind, English allowed me to explain my personhood here and silence the narrative that I was just a shy, odd Asian.
My wish to write, however, made me unintelligible to my mother. She couldn’t understand why I’d spoil other better chances. I’d tried to communicate with her in Chinese, searching my mind for sentences: How could I describe my gratitude for a path to self-fulfillment when all I could say was “kai xin” or “happy” Without the words to bridge the gap between our worldviews, our dissatisfaction and worry turned into stubbornness.
I landed a day job editing a design magazine but worked on my novel in my off-hours. As its main characters, Marissa and Kathleen’s mother-daughter relationship was similar to my own, troubled and split by cultural differences—though always revived by love. But the book is in English, so my mom won’t be able to read it.
Writing the book gave me a reason to mine for details about my family. I’d spent so much of my adolescence shedding (摆脱) my background that when I reached adulthood, I became interested in our history. I started asking questions, hoping to find a new understanding of us.
Her answers were mixed with joyful memories, like the pleasant smell of the flowers my mother would pin to her blouse, or the hubbub(喧闹)of visiting her cousins in the countryside. As her world became clearer to me, I came closer to knowing who she is.
When I showed my mother a copy, she noticed her Chinese name in the acknowledgments and said in Mandarin with a shaking voice, “Now I know you truly love me.” I wish it hadn’t taken this long to find a way to tell her. She may not understand it word for word, but I know she gets the message.
4. Why did the author start to learn English
A. She hoped to read picture books in kindergarten.
B. She was eager to introduce herself to more people.
C. She realized its importance to her life in the country.
D. She found the language strange but fairly easy to learn.

A Her interest in her own childhood.
B. Her curiosity about other cultures.

B. She was deeply moved and felt loved.
C. She was disappointed that she couldn’t read the book.
D. She was grateful for the author’s efforts to understand her.

The first set of Chinese stories presented in English scripts, titled Stories of China: Performed in English, was officially published by Foreign Language Press. Planned by the New Channel International Education Group with the participation of playwrights from China, the United Kingdom and the United states, the book provides a new way for young people to learn English while inheriting and spreading Chinese culture.
The book contains 20 English scripts in novel formats covering a wide range of subjects. Unlike the most common English scripts for young readers on the market which are based on adaptations of European and American stories, those scripts presented in this book are unique for being based on classic Chinese stories, readapted and written in English. The book is divided into three grades in terms of grammar and vocabulary difficulty, making it suitable for young English learners from primary schools to junior and high schools.
All the scripts in the book are written by top playwrights with elegant, pure and vivid language. The scripts are provided with a summary of the story in both Chinese and English, so that readers can fully understand the plot as well as the history and culture behind it. Readers can not only improve their English skills through immersive reading and performance but also appreciate Chinese culture.
Hu Min, English education expert and founder of the New Channel, said the combination of traditional Chinese culture and English teaching has become a trend, guiding young people to tell Chinese stories to the world with their own wisdom and deep Chinese cultural heritage. The New Channel will offer special courses on Stories of China: Performed in English in its many schools across the country, and cooperate with primary and secondary schools in Beijing, Shanghai to offer English drama courses on a trial basis. Hu believes the courses will set off a new wave of enthusiastic learning among young people.

If you think of a game of fetch, you might picture a dog running back and forth, eagerly recovering a ball. But a new study shows that they’re not the only pets that like the game: Cats play fetch, too, just on their own unique terms.
The researchers discovered almost 1,000 owners of 1,154 cats to find out if and why. According to their findings, nearly 95% of the cat owners reported that their cats fetched items naturally. One respondent said his cat returned the toy completely for no reason.
Fetching was mainly first noticed when cats were under I year old. What’s more, “cats who fetch largely determine when they engage in fetching activities and actively influence the play behavior of their owners,” according to the study. “So, it can say a bit about cats being in control of their interactions and being in control of their environments, even being in control of us. You might even go so far to say,” says Jemma Forman, the co-author of the study.
But the motivation for cats to fetch objects seems to be different from that for dogs. Cats are more likely to play on their own with objects similar to prey (猎物). For dogs, play is more social, involving either another dog or human.
In general, play has major advantages for both the pet and the owner, as it not only helps to prevent attack towards, the owner, but also models the act of preying on real animals, an important kind of play behavior. “So even if your cat doesn’t play fetch, obviously it’s a really good idea to try and engage them in any sort of play. Play does have a lot of benefits,” says Forman. “It’s about owner acceptance to your fur baby,” she says.

My mom only had one eye. I hated her. She was such an embarrassment.
She ran a small shop at a flea market, and collected old clothes and some other things to sell for the money we needed. Once during elementary school, it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed and wondered how could she do this to me I threw her a hateful look and ignored her. The next day at school, my schoolmates asked me, “your mom only has one eye ” and taunted me.
I was so angry with my mom and wished that she would just disappear from this world. So l said to my mom, “Why don’t you have the other eye ! If you’re only gonna make me a laughing stock!” My mom did not respond, I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, I felt so good to have had said what I wanted to say. Maybe it was because I was full of anger then and there, I didn’t think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.
For the words I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty. I told myself that I would become successful in the near future and get out of that house for good, so I studied very hard. Later I got accepted by the Seoul University, I left my mother and came to Seoul to study. Then I got married there.
I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I am living happily as a successful man. I enjoy the life in Seoul because it’s a place that doesn’t remind me of my mom past. This kind of happiness was getting bigger and bigger, until one day someone knocked at my door. It was my mom! And still with her one eye! It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom’s eye.
