Recently my friend invited me to her residential hall，which is an African-American themed hall.They have lots of meetings and outings there.So I thought it would be fun.On this particular day they were having a pancake breakfast，just a time to mix.I was excited to be there，too.

I walked in at a time when the mini-party was at its peak.I found my friend；excitedly，we hugged and she led me to a seat in the back.We sat there for some time.I sensed some sort of discrimination.I wondered，were we just isolating ourselves or were we facing discrimination?

My friend’s breakfast came in first，and it was a plate full of colors.My mouth watered.I have always liked rainbow dished：they make me hungry.She let me pick pancakes and fruit；we ate and only then began to talk.

The black American contemporary music was extremely loud.Some boys and girls were

beating the tables and some guys on the stage were dancing in what looked like a kind of competition.

We talked about various subjects：hair，boys，shoes and books.And then we got to it.“What do African Americans think of Africans？”

We argued.I told her I thought African Americans were haughty.Why did they sideline us？When we met in a narrow passage and our eyes met，they quickly looked aside before we greeted.Why？Weren’t we all black？I mean，wasn’t this exactly the reason why there was an African-American themed house to begin with?

Did they look down upon us because they grew up in America and we in Sub-Saharan Africa？Oh yes，I felt this was it！They believed that we were HIV-positive and that the giraffes were right behind our huts.

My friend uttered，“No！” And then she continued：

“I also thought so at one point but after living with these guys，I got to a different conclusion altogether.These guys are not from Africa.They were not born there and may have never been there.We can’t expect them to naturally like us or bond.We are different.Skin color is the skin color.”

1．It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that the author . A．is an African American B．is an American African C．was late for the party D．was crazy about parties

2．What does the author think of the breakfast? A．Delicious. C．A bit salty.

B．Just so-so. D．A little sweet.

3．The underlined word “haughty” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “ ”． A．kind-hearted C．fashionable

B．modest D．proud

4．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A．They had a good time at the party. B．They turned down the music for me. C．Some of them broke the tables. D．They had a competition at the party.

5．Which statement is NOT true according to this text?

I’m not an athlete，but I am a lover of the Olympics.My biggest sports moment ever didn’t require me to be the fastest，the highest，or the strongest.It just required me to be in the right place at the right time，and catch the opportunity when it came to me.It was to carry our national flag for the Olympic Torch Relay.

As a part of the celebration，flag bearers(旗手) were needed.I served in the army at that time and the Olympic organizers asked for volunteers to help carry some of the flags.Although it demanded that I give up part of my weekends and get up early，I thought that it was the chance of a lifetime.

There were several different groups that took part in the event as flag bearers.We soldiers were going to be out in front leading them.On the day of the event，we arrived early at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.Many people arrived to see the flame arrive from Greece，and the beginning of the Olympic Torch Relay.It was exciting to wait for our turn to enter the coliseum.

As a flag bearer，I was supposed to run out in front.Though the flag was fairly heavy，I picked it up and ran with it.I ran past rows of people.I ran through television cameras.It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life，being able to carry our national flag in an international event like the Olympics.I was very proud of it.

I had never been able to attend the Olympics，and I might never be important enough to carry an Olympic torch or anything like that，but I did get to carry our national flag in the torch relay，although I will no longer have the opportunity to carry the flag in the Olympics，and that would be one sports experience that would be difficult to forget.

6．What was the author when the Olympics were hosted in Los Angeles？(no more than 6 words)

7．What was the author asked to do as a volunteer？(no more than 10 words)
