请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

I have always wanted to write. From the day I first started reading I became 1. Harry Potter came out when I was a child. And I found one that I couldn't 2.

The problem is that I am not a very good 3. Everywhere I go I have my little black book. It has no marks on it and it looks very common. 4, my book is my little book of dreams. It started as somewhere to write down all of the 5 experience I have had before or when an idea came popped into my head in a dream. They would all get written into my little book.

Now I bring it everywhere with me. It is more 6 to me than my mobile phone or my wallet. It is full of crazy thoughts or what the world is like. The world, 7, is full of strange things and incredible (难以置信的) people. Every day has something special and unexpected just waiting to be 8 a little bit further down the road.

My book is amazing because it lets me catch all of those tiny things and catch them before they disappear. 9 it has the beginning of a fantasy novel (魔幻故事), the ending of a love play, and poetry I have written in different languages. I never thought I would ever write poems in French! It is crazy!

For me, this book is more than just a lot of 10 on paper. It is one million different possible stories, in thousands of different worlds and made up of a hundred different thoughts. It is indeed my special book.

    It was the day before Mother's Day this year. There was only me in the house and I was sitting in the chair thinking about my son Todd. I looked up and saw the little Mother's Day statue. Todd gave me that many years before. I put it on a shelf along with other memories（记忆）of passed days. It was hard to believe that Todd left me forever in a car accident in 2003.
    As I sat in my chair, lost in my memories, I thought, "It would sure be nice to get something again from Todd on Mother's Day, God." I knewitwas almost impossible（不可能的）, but I wasn't going to tell anyone and I even thought, "This is between you and me, God." I still smiled and wondered if I might be surprised.
    Later that night Bill came back home from a few days' work. He walked in with a rose. He gave it to me and said it was from Todd!
    I was really happy and moved! In the past 15 years, no one had given me anything and said it was from Todd. I knew God had heard and answered my petitions（祈求）. But I really know that love is everywhere. What important to us is to make our bad memories into good ones.

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

①Do you have a nickname(昵称)? What is it? Let's see what some students say about their nicknames.

②Zhao Ye: My PE teacher likes to call me "bone(骨头)". I'm in Grade 7 this year. I'm very thin and tall. And I'm just 35 kg. I have long legs. They look like two sticks. So people call me "bone".

③Chen Xiaomeng: My nickname is "Chen little little". My friend gave it to me. When she waits for me after class, she always calls: "Chen Xiaomeng Chen little little ... " Someone even calls me "Mini Chen". That is a cute and funny nickname.

④Zhu Xinyue: My classmate calls me: "Hello Zhu!" "Hello Liu, but don't call me that. It sounds like a pig." So I let him give me a nice nickname. He thinks for a long time and gives me a lovely one: pig baby.

⑤Sun Haoran: My nickname is Koala. My mother gave it to me. I went to Australia when I was in my mother's belly(肚子). She studied in Australia. She loves it very much. There are lots of koalas and kangaroos. They are special and so cute. She wants to remember her days in Australia. So my mother gave me the nickname Koala. I love it.

In the middle of the first term of school, the entire eighth grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests, and continued to dream of other things. His heart was not in school, but in the woods. 

One day, Miss White's impatient voice broke into his daydreams. "Steve! Pay attention!" Steve turned to look at her, fixing his eyes on Miss White, as she began to go over the test results for the eighth grade.

"You all did pretty well," she told the class, "except for one boy, and it breaks my heart to tell you this, but..." She hesitated, her eyes searching his face. "...The smartest boy in the eighth grade is failing my class!" She just stared at Steve. Steve dropped his eyes.

After that, it was war! Steve still wouldn't do his homework. Even as the punishments became more severe, he remained stubborn（顽固不化的）.

"Just try it! ONE WEEK!" He was unmoved.

"You're smart enough! You'll see a change!" Nothing touched him.

"Give yourself a chance! Don't give up on your life!" Nothing.

"Steve! Please! I care about you!"

Wow! Suddenly, Steve got it! Someone cared about him? Steve went home from school, thoughtful, that afternoon. Walking into the house, both parents were out. He, quickly, gathered up a jar of peanut butter, a loaf of bread, a bottle of water, and this time...his schoolbooks.

The following Monday he arrived at school on time, and he waited for Miss White to enter the classroom. She walked in, all smiles! God, she was beautiful! 

Miss White, immediately, gave a quiz on the weekend homework. Steve hurried through the test and was the first to hand in his paper. With a look of surprise, Miss White took his paper. Obviously puzzled, she began to look it over. Miss White's face was in total shock! The smartest boy in the eighth grade had just passed his first test!

From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it!

He discovered that he could understand knowledge and translate the things he learned into his own life. Steve began to go ahead!
