Sunaian’s family left India and moved to the UK when she was 13. She had to
start a new school...
I remember it really well. My parents drove me to the school and said goodbye
to me. I took a deep breath and walked into the school.
I didn’t know what to feel. I was excited and scared and a bit nervous, all
at the same time. There were lots of other kids around. They were already in groups
of friends, but none of them said hello or anything. It was a strange feeling for
me, like I didn’t really belong there. I wanted to be somewhere else, but that wasn’
t possible.
The first thing I had to do was register, so I went to a room in the school that
had a sign saying “Administration”. Suddenly, I felt like I was some kind of criminal.
They started asking me all kinds of questions. Then I went off to my first class.
My first class. Wow, that was horrible. Perhaps it was because my hair or clothes
were different, but everyone just looked at me in such a strange way. And just like
when I arrived, no one came to talk to me. Incredibly, that’s never happened: no
one has even taken the time to get to know me or like me. I have friends because
I made the first move to meet people.
Maybe the worst class that day, though, was Science. The teacher wasn’t too
bad. She introduced me to the class and showed me where to sit. But the other students?
Well, they looked at me like I was a guinea pig or something they were going to use
for an experiment. I hated every minute.
Then there was a break and I went to sit somewhere alone, missing my mum and
dad. But I thought they’d want me to keep trying, so I tried to be more positive
in the next class. Not so good, though. Everyone talked to other students, but I
sat by myself. At the end of the day, I couldn’t wait to get out of there.
But, as time passed, things have got better. Now I’m doing fine and I get OK
grades. I’ve learned lots of things — but not what the teachers teach. I’ve learned
that I’m strong and brave. I’ve learned that I will succeed even if some things
aren’t the way I want them to be.
29. From the passage, we can learn that ______.
A. Sunaina was well received upon the arrival at school
B. Sunaina was treated as a criminal in the register department.
C. Nobody wanted to waste time getting to know Sunaina at first.
D. Other students’ hair and clothes were similar to Sunaina in her class.
30. What made Sunaina think Science the worst class that day?
A. The Science teacher’s quality and qualification.
B. The way the other students looked at Sunaina.
C. The way the teacher introduced Sunaina to the class.
D. The other students’ thinking of using Sunaina for an experiment.
31. Which of the following is suitable to describe Sunaina?
A. Weak and scary.
B. Tough and courageous.
C. Sensitive and shy.
D. Generous and outgoing.
32. What does the story intend to tell us?
A. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
B. A life without a friend is a life without a sun.
C. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.
D. A good word is warm in winter, but a bad word hurts in June.
