卷二
一．閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題（請(qǐng)注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求）。
 [1] When I was born, my mother immediately made learning a necessary and fun part of my life．Everything we did was a positive learning interaction, whether we were baking cookies or spending the day at the library．I never watched TV, not because I was not allowed to, but because it was more fun writing stories with my mom．
 [2] When I finally entered a school classroom at age five, I was excited, but terrified．That first day of kindergarten I quietly sat at my desk during snack time and opened my Miss Piggy lunch box．Inside the box I found a note from my mother written on a napkin（餐巾）．The note said that she loved me, that she was proud of me and that I was the best kindergartner in the world! Because of that napkin note I made it through my first day of kindergarten…and many more school days to follow．
 [3] There have been many          since the first one．There were napkin notes in elementary school when I was struggling with my math, telling me to “Hang in there, kiddo! You can do it! Don’t forget what a great writer you are!” There were napkin notes in junior high school when I was the “new girl” telling me to “Be friendly．Don’t be scared．Anyone would be lucky to have you as her best friend!” In high school, when my basketball team was the first team in our school’s history to play in a state championship, there were napkin notes telling me, “There is no ‘I’ in team．You have gotten this far because you know how to share．” And there were even napkin notes sent to me in college and graduate school, far away from my mother’s physical touch．Mother’s encouragement, support and teaching are always with me, echoed in years of love, commitment and napkin notes．
