“How was your day?” Dad asked as we drove home. It seems to be a ____1____ that parents have to ask this question.
There was no ____2____ that I was telling him about failing the test again.“Wrestling (摔跤) with Hassan. That was cool…”
But Dad interrupted me.“Wrestling?”
“Not real wrestling. We were just playing.”
“I should hope not,” Dad parked the car. As we arrived home, he was trying to say something, so I decided to ____3____ the subject.
“Dad, I can’t work out what song to sing at the coming show.”
“How about that song you like best?” Dad asked, looking at his crossword (纵横字谜) on the table.
“Monsters?”
“That’s it,” Dad then picked up his crossword and sighed (叹气).“I am ____4____ stuck on it. Usually, I can solve it quickly.”
“I guess we all have bad days,” I opened my homework, but the questions looked like ____5____ symbols.“Do you feel like you’ve got a worm in your brain?” I asked Dad.
“A worm?”
“My scores are going down, as if everything that I know is being eaten away. And I think I’m going to ____6____ the coming exams. Everything is going wrong.”
“Is that true? Or is it just that you’re worried that everything will go wrong?”
How could Dad think that I wanted to fail my exams?
“Imagine you’re playing wrestling with Hassan. He raises his fist (拳头) and tells you,‘I’m going to hit you.’That’s what Hassan says, but he doesn’t ____7____ it. Ash, your feelings are real, like the raised fist, but that doesn’t mean they are telling you the truth. You’ll meet difficult questions in exams. It’s OK to feel ____8____. But when your fear tells you that you’re going to fail, you don’t have to ____9____ it.”
“But it might happen,” I cried.
“Ash, even if you fail, you are still you. You are still my bright boy who does well at school, but just ____10____ to have a bad day. And we all have bad days,” Dad smiled and waved his unfinished crossword.

第二部分 阅读理解（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列各题，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
“See you at Open House tonight, Amy,” Evelyn shouted from the school bus window. “Don’t forget to ask your mom if I can come over tomorrow!”
“OK!” I called back. I wished I could feel excited about my first Open House at my new school, but I was worried. What would other kids say when they found out my parents can’t hear?
And I wanted Evelyn to visit but then she’d see how different my house was. My parents use a video phone so they can use sign language to communicate with callers. We also have a light on the wall that flashes when the phone or doorbell rings. Would Evelyn think my house was strange?
