PAGE PAGE 12 Module 5 The First Americans (满分：120分；时间：100分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) A The singer, Mick Jagger, of the Rolling Stones sings a song that tells people they cant always get what they want but if we try sometimes we can get what we need.The past years in my life my parents have told me this saying many times.Ive always complained about the quote(引语)，although over time I have told myself to learn from it. This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida.This has been a killer for me because I havent been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school.The last two months have been hard but we are working through it.I have been trying to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go down there.My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket.I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money to give him.I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money to go see my girlfriend.I finally came to the conclusion that I would get a job and work hard to earn some money to give to my dad.I applied to Safeway and I ended up getting the job. I have been working at Safeway for about a month now and work hard to earn money to go see my girlfriend.The other day my mom had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks.I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I have to.The thought of me working hard and getting a job showed my mom that I really cared and was trying my best to be a successful person.I believe that you cant always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need. 【语篇解读】　作者的父亲总是引用歌词教育作者，凡事要靠自己的努力，作者就只凭借自己的努力满足和打动父母，如愿以偿地拿到了去看女朋友的机票。 1．The authors parents often told him the saying quoted from the song because________.
