【題目】.Face-to-face with the New Me

Jessica’s mother noticed Jessica hadn’t returned to the dentist waiting room just before her surgery was supposed to start. She walked to the bathroom and found Jessica in here, crying. She took her daughter into her arms. “We’re going to say goodbye to the old Jessica,” she said. “And hi to the new Jessica.”

Jessica, from St Louis. US, had been wishing for this day since high school, when the bullying about her started. Now that it was finally happening, she was nervous.

It was a social-media post two months ago that got her here. Someone posted a photo of Jessica with a comment about her overbite. The post was shared many times, with many people making mean remarks about her appearance.

The bullies didn’t know the road Jessica had traveled. She underwent nine operations on her ears from age 2 to 12 years old. She was almost deaf in her right ear. Her adult teeth didn’t start coining in until she was 11 or 12, and doctors couldn’t figure out why they were pushed outward. It got worse as she got older. Jessica had been trying for years to get her teeth fixed, but it was always too costly.

When her story got out, Maryann Udy, a dentist, got in contact with Jessica and offered her a new smile-free of charge. The surgery was long and complicated It took several months before Jessica’s new smile was ready.

Later that year, she looked at her old photos online and smiled. “I loved her,” she said. She’s grateful to be in less pain, to be on the path to a new smile. Sometimes, though, it feels like something is missing from who she was.

Still, she loves taking selfies and admiring her new appearance. “I looked good before,” she said. “I look even better now.”

【1】What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.The cause of her disease.B.The bullying about her teeth.

C.The comfort from her mother.D.The creation of her new smile.

【2】What happened after Jessica’s picture was posted on social media?

A.Bullies tried to contact her to say sorry.

B.She received help from a dentist for free.

C.Some friends offered to pay for her surgery.

D.Many people left encouraging words for her.

【題目】 “Problems and worries are normal (正常) in life.”says Lucy. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel【1】.”

Lucy once lost her 【2】, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept 【3】of the problem again and again in her mind. “If I tell my parents, they will be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really 【4】. Her dad said that he【5】made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to 【6】my problems in the future!” Lucy says.
