2．It's not our fault.
It's not our fault that we failed to earn straight A's，make perfect College Board scores，and get into our first choice of college.It's not our fault that we failed to earn millions of dollars in our twenties and billions by thirty--thus getting ourselves on the cover of Forbes.
It's not our fault that our start didn't glow white hot.However，early 21st century society has made feel shame exactly for that，for not exploding out of the starting blocks like an Olympic sprinter – for not blooming early.Parents，schools，employers，and the media are now crazily over celebrating early achievement as the best kind of achievement or even the only kind.
It wasn't always so.Joanne，55，is a late bloomer.Her teenage years were unstable and unhappy.In school，Joanne earned above：average grades but hardly good enough to earn high honors and distinction.A teacher recalls Joanne as bright but not extraordinary.A quiet girl，Joanne passed through high school with few remembering her.She was rejected by her dream college but went to a fallback college instead.After graduation，Joanna worked as a secretary.Bored，she married a man she met on an outing and they had a baby girl.The marriage didn't survive two years.
At the age of 30，Joanne saw herself at a dead end，with no job and a dependent child.She was diagnosed with depression，which prevented her from working much and earning.Strangely enough，it is this situation that look her closer to her from working much and earning.Strangely enough，it is situation that look her closer to her gift.She started to write.Writing was her unique talent.In the months she depended on welfare to feed her baby，she made her name Joanne Kathleen （J.K.） Rowling known around the world with her popular Harry Potter series.And now she is a self-made billionaire who regularly appears on the Forbes.
The fact is that many of us are late bloomers of some kind.At some point，we got stuck though.Be patient，late bloomers will find their way eventually.
（1）What does the underlined "that" refer to？
A．Succeeding later.
B．Exploding sudden.
C．Blooming earlier.
D．Growing wildly.
（2）Which of the following words best describe Joanna in school？
A．creative
B．ordinary
C．dependent
D．bored
（3）What is the correct order of the events in Joanna's life？
a.She was diagnosed with depression.
b.Her name appeared on the Forbes.
c.She worked as a secretary.
d.She started to write.
e.She got divorced.
A．cbdea
B．ceadb
C．eacdb
D．ebdac
（4）Which statement will the author probably agree with？
A．A good start actually means half done.
B．Slow learners will achieve success if pushes.
C．Children develop and adapt at different paces!

8．I was born and grew up in the North of Scotland，which was not far from the sea.When I was little，I enjoyed the seaside scenery very much.I often sit on a rock by the sea and watched the view of the sea.I was fond of playing with the sand on the beach and chased the waves with my elder sister，Alastair.
Across the beach there was a tidal island，which means that when the tide goes out，you can walk to it，but when the tide comes in again，you can't get to it.Mom and Dad never let us go there.They told us that it was dangerous.However，the tidal island was full of mystery to me.I said to myself. "There must be some fascinating scenery worth exploring.How I wish I had a chance to land on it!"
On a little cold in October，while my parents were way for a friend's wedding.My sister was determined to take me to the beach near the house，where we would have a good time.I wanted to build a sand castles.
When we arrived at the beach，the tide was out.We ran on the beach back and forth and enjoyed ourselves very much.With the help of my sister，I made several sand castles of different shape.Feeling a little tired.I sat on the beach for a break.I was the tidal island opposite，which looked very nice in the autumn sunshine.
"Let's go to explore the title island，Alastair." I said to my sister.
"That's a good idea.But mom and dad said we couldn't.Maybe we won't return safely!" Alastair said.
"Don't worry.We will try to returned before the tide comes in again." I begged Alastair.
Finally，she agreed.We returned home and brought some peanut butter sandwiches and a bottle of milk with us.
Then we set off for the tidal island._____
The tide came in and covered the beach.And the water was too deep and cold for me.______組卷：1引用：2難度：0.3
