How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt＇s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people　on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

(答案→)C 解析：离开祖国远赴异乡前难以割舍对故乡的情怀，可是那片陌生而又神奇的土地又在召唤着一颗好奇的心。异域风情曾让作者一度困惑，但更增强了作者对美好生活的憧憬。【小题1】C细节理解题。根据第二段后半部分中的“...I had known only from books and pictures.”可知作者只是在书本和图画中对美国有所了解。【小题2】B推理判断题。第一段中虽然提到作者最初哭着不愿去美国，但根据第二段中的内容可知作者对那些陌生而又神奇的地方充满了幻想，甚至将祖国抛到了脑后，由此可推测作者感到非常“兴奋”。【小题3】C细节理解题。根据第三段第二句中的内容可知作者在纽约的最初两年不得不在三所不同的学校学习。此处是说作者当时感到无所适从，而不是经常迷路，所以A项不正确；根据下一句中的内容可排除B项；根据第三段最后两句可知D项不正确。【小题4】D推理判断题。本段第一句My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.是本段的主题句，再结合下文中提到的事例可推测作者用她较高的英语水平给了她的家庭很大帮助。故选D项。【小题5】D推理判断题。根据最后一段的Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.可知作者坚信美好的事情一定会发生，只要你拥有耐心，从不放弃。
