Question

On the terrible day, father took me to school. When he stopped in front of the school, I didn’t want to get out of the car. I looked at the students outside the building and suddenly felt sick. I slowly opened the car door and slowly got out. The body brace(支架) I wore made it hard for me to move and made me feel ugly. How I wished I were still in my school with all my friends. I didn’t know anyone here. I could feel that everyone was looking at me. I was sure that I would be the ugliest and strangest person they had ever seen. Tears fell on my new dress.
I struggled(奮力) to get through that day, and all the day for the following three days. I feel ugly for most of the time. I could hardly wait to take off the brace.
That day finally arrived on a rainy Thursday in Spring. I was so surprised and excited when the doctor said that I could take off the brace. From that day on, I began to love rain. I was free at last.
I danced up the stairs to the school building the next morning. I wanted everyone to see me, but to my surprise, no one said a word about my brace for the whole day, even Danielle, my best friend. I couldn’t wait to ask her, “Danielle, don’t you notice anything different about me? It’s the brace. The brace is gone.”
Danielle just looked at me and said, “ I know the brace is gone, but I don’t think it’ll make much difference. With or without it, you are still my friend.”

解析試題分析：這篇短文描述了一個帶著身體支架的女孩自以為帶著支架很丑，而弄得自己很自卑。直到拆除支架后，聽到了朋友的一段話才知道，原來同學們并沒有在意自己是否帶著支架。
【小題1】根據短文第一段描述可知當我第一天到達這所學校時，我很煩。故選B。
【小題2】根據I could hardly wait to take off the brace和 when the doctor said that I could take off the brace. From that day on, I began to love rain. I was free at last.可知選項B，描述正確。
【小題3】根據That day finally arrived on a rainy Thursday in Spring. I was so surprised and excited when the doctor said that I could take off the brace.可知選C。
【小題4】根據How I wished I were still in my school with all my friends. I didn’t know anyone here.可知選A。
【小題5】通過短文最后兩段我們可以知道根本沒有同學注意她是否帶著支架。故選C，很少有人認為她很丑。
