第一学期期中复习试卷(阅读理解)

阅读理解(1)When I was in middle school, I was the only Asian student in the school. One day a student from Japan came to our school. Nobody knew how to talk with her, so some teachers called me to the office.They didn’t ask if I was Japanese. They just asked me to tell the girl something about the school and where her classroom was. I told them that I wasn’t Japanese and didn’t speak Japanese. But I still tried to talk with the girl.I just used very easy words to tell some things to her. My mother didn’t speak En glish, so I knew how to get someone to understand English when they didn’t speak the language. From then on, I became the Japanese girl’s interpreter when she was in our school. She studied with us for about half a school year.When I talked with the girl, I used some Chinese and she used some Japanese if we really couldn’t understand each other. Sometimes we found some of the words we used were the same. When it was time for her to leave our school, she could understand some English. At first, I didn’t like being her interpreter, but later I found it was interesting and I got a lot from it.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
