US Army veteran (退伍老兵) Mazyck remembers when doctors told her she would never walk again. She’d been paralyzed (瘫痪) from the waist down after a serious accident while parachuting (跳伞) in 2003. The doctors, though, never said anything about floating. In 2021, she got to do just that.
Mazyck was one of 12 participants in a Zero Gravity flight, organized by the group AstroAccess. This type of flight recreates the weightlessness that astronauts experience without going all the way to space. Flying over the Pacific Ocean off Southern California, the modified 747 jet airplane made 15 steep dives and climbs, allowing the flyers multiple periods of weightlessness. The experience left Mazyck feeling joyful. “The flight was something that I would never have experienced in my wildest dreams,” she says, “especially the floating, the weightlessness.”
During the flight, she says, the participants were expected to do experiments and made observations. They took note of things that people without certain disabilities might not realize are issues. For example, people who couldn’t grip with their legs needed another way to hold themselves still while weightless. The group also experimented with signaling lights for the deaf and with ways of using braille (盲文) for the blind.
Traditionally, strict physical requirements have prevented disabled people from becoming astronauts. AstroAccess is working to make space accessible to all. “Space removes the barriers between people; now is the time to remove the barriers to space itself,” says Mazyck, “It is sending a message to people who have historically been excluded from space travel that not only is there room for you in space, but there is a need for you.”
Indeed, now is the time to make space accessible—before space tourism or space settlements become commonplace. “I am so excited about what’s happening here,” Mazyck adds. “We are paving the way for the future.”
4. What do we know about AstroAccess?
A. It redesigns jet airplanes. B. It offers weightlessness experience.
C. It provides physical treatment. D. It hires the disabled to be astronauts.
5. What is required in the flights for the participants?
A. Steep dives and climbs. B. Floating experience.
C. Weightlessness periods. D. Trials and observations.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Mazyck?
A. Courageous and optimistic. B. Caring and persistent.
C. Generous and determined. D. Ambitious and innovative.
7. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Paving the Way for the Future B. Disabled Americans Make It to Space
C. Making Space a Place for Everyone D. US Veterans Experience Zero Gavity Flight
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了AstroAccess这一组织组织参与者进行失重体验,腰部以下瘫痪的Mazyck就是其中一名参与者。AstroAccess正在努力使所有人都能进入太空。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Mazyck was one of 12 participants in a Zero G flight, organized by the group AstroAccess. This type of flight recreates the weightlessness that astronauts experience without going all the way to space.(Mazyck是由AstroAccess组织的零重力飞行的12名参与者之一。这种类型的飞行重现了在没有进入太空的情况下宇航员所经历的失重状态)”可知,AstroAccess提供失重体验。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“During the flight, she says, the participants were expected to do experiments and made observations.(她说,在飞行过程中,参与者被期待做实验和观察)”可知,参与者的飞行要求是试验和观察。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。第一段“She’d been paralyzed (瘫痪) from the waist(她的腰部以下已经瘫痪了)” 表明她的下半身已经发生了瘫痪,第二段“Mazyck was one of 12 participants in a Zero G flight, organized by the group AstroAccess. This type of flight recreates the weightlessness that astronauts experience without going all the way to space. The experience left Mazyck feeling joyful. (Mazyck是由AstroAccess组织的零重力飞行的12名参与者之一。这种类型的飞行重现了在没有进入太空的情况下宇航员所经历的失重状态。体验失重让她感到非常高兴)”表明她虽然残疾却不放弃,勇于接受并享受挑战,乐观坚强。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。倒数第二段“AstroAccess is working to make space accessible to all.( AstroAccess致力于让所有人都能进入太空)”亮明主旨,表明AstroAccess致力于让包括残疾人在内的所有人都能进入太空,适合作为文章标题。C选项“让每个人都能进入太空”符合文章标题。故选C项。

When instant cake mixes first appeared in the 1950s, American housewives were doubtful. These mixes, promising easy cake-baking, felt too easy. The manufacturers discovered that requiring the addition of an egg in the baking process was just enough to make the housewives happy with their work. The greater sense of effort gained from a little extra labor is believed to have been essential to the later success of the cake mix.
This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效应), which is identified by psychologist Michael I. Norton and his colleagues, suggesting we place greater value on things we have worked to create. They conducted four studies in which they asked participants to fold paper cranes and frogs, assemble IKEA boxes, and build sets of Legos. They then asked the builders to bid (出价) for their creations, and compared the prices with bids from people who hadn’t built them. The builders consistently outbid the non-builders.
Interestingly, the IKEA effect works even when people have no opportunity to fully personalize their creations. While most participants’ folding skills left much to be desired, they loved their imperfectly personalized products all the more. Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creations nearly five times as much as non-builders. Beauty, it seems, is in the eye of the builder.
Today, as cities are suffering from severe housing crises, the IKEA effect can give us insight into the well-being benefits of a self-building approach to housing development. Projects like WikiHouse and the “half-a-house” approach pioneered by Alejandro Aravena’s architecture company Elemental are working to make housing more affordable and sustainable by making it easier for people to build and personalize their own homes.
“The moment people are involved with their built environment, they have a totally different relationship to it,” WikiHouse co-founder Alastair Parvin explained. “When the roof starts leaking or a door starts creaking, they have the power to fix it themselves.”
8. What brought customers the joy of cake-baking according to paragraph 1?
A. A better taste. B. An easy approach.
C. A detailed recipe. D. An additional effort.
9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply?
A. Creations are based on skills. B. Extra labor increases perceived value.
C. Beauty is found through contrast. D. Strict management brings good quality.
10. What is Alastair Parvin’s attitude towards public involvement in housing?
A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
11. What’s the purpose of this text?
A. To promote a brand. B. To make a proposal.
C. To explain a concept. D. To introduce a study.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文通过讨论宜家效应以及几个实验研究的结果,论述了人们更加珍视自己亲手创造的东西,并由此引发了对自我建造住房的好处的思考。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The manufacturers discovered that requiring the addition of an egg in the baking process was just enough to make the housewives happy with their work. The greater sense of effort gained from a little extra labor is believed to have been essential to the later success of the cake mix.(制造商发现,在烘焙过程中加入一个鸡蛋就足以让主妇们对自己的工作感到满意。从一点点额外的劳动中获得的更大的努力感被认为是蛋糕粉后来成功的关键)”可知,额外的努力给顾客带来了蛋糕烘焙的乐趣。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“Interestingly, the IKEA effect works even when people have no opportunity to fully personalize their creations. While most participants’ folding skills left much to be desired, they loved their imperfectly personalized products all the more. Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creations nearly five times as much as non-builders.(有趣的是,即使人们没有机会完全个性化他们的作品,宜家效应也会起作用。虽然大多数参与者的折叠技巧还有很多不足之处,但他们更喜欢自己不完美的个性化产品。建筑商对他们皱巴巴的像起重机一样的创造物的估价几乎是非建筑商的五倍)”可知,本段主要讲述额外的劳动会让参与者更喜欢自己的作品,所以Beauty, it seems, is in the eye of the builder.意为“额外的劳动增加了感知价值”。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The moment people are involved with their built environment, they have a totally different relationship to it,” WikiHouse co-founder Alastair Parvin explained. “When the roof starts leaking or a door starts creaking, they have the power to fix it themselves.”(WikiHouse的联合创始人Alastair Parvin解释说:“当人们参与到他们的建筑环境中时,他们与环境的关系就完全不同了。”“当屋顶开始漏水或门开始吱吱作响时,他们有能力自己修理。”)”可知,Alastair Parvin认为公众参与住房建设,他们与环境的关系就完全不同了,所以是持支持的态度。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效应), which is identified by psychologist Michael I. Norton and his colleagues, suggesting we place greater value on things we have worked to create. They conducted four studies in which they asked participants to fold paper cranes and frogs, assemble IKEA boxes, and build sets of Legos. They then asked the builders to bid (出价) for their creations, and compared the prices with bids from people who hadn’t built them. The builders consistently outbid the non-builders.(这反映了心理学家迈克尔·i·诺顿(Michael I. Norton)及其同事发现的宜家效应(IKEA effect),即我们更看重自己努力创造的东西。他们进行了四项研究,要求参与者折叠纸鹤和青蛙,组装宜家盒子,搭建乐高积木。然后,他们要求建筑商为他们的作品出价,并将价格与没有建造这些作品的人的出价进行比较。建筑商的出价始终高于非建筑商)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要解释什么是宜家效应(IKEA effect),所以本文的目的是解释一个概念。故选C项。
D
For years, experts in climate science and ecology have presented the agricultural practices of the ancient Maya as primary examples of what not to do. “There’s an explanation that describes the Maya as people who devoted themselves to unchecked (不加约束的) agricultural development,” said Andrew Scherer, a professor at Brown University, “The explanation goes: The population grew too large, the agriculture expanded, and then everything fell apart.”
But a new study, led by Scherer, suggests that that explanation doesn’t tell the full story.
Using a remote sensing technology, the team surveyed an area in the western Maya lowlands. The results revealed extensive systems of complex irrigation (灌溉) and terracing (阶梯状坡地), but no huge population increases to match. The findings indicated that between 350 and 900 AD, some Maya kingdoms were living comfortably, with no proven food insecurity.
When the team set about the survey, their primary motivation was to learn more about the infrastructure (基础设施) of regions that are unknown, owing to the thick forest that has long hidden ancient communities from view. Therefore, the team chose to survey three Maya sites: Piedras Negras, La Mar and SakTz’i’.
The survey revealed signs of what the researchers call “agricultural intensification”—the adjustment of land to increase the volume of crop productivity. Agricultural intensification methods in these Maya kingdoms included building terraces and creating water management systems, suggesting that these kingdoms were not only prepared for population growth but also likely harvested much more food than they could consume every year.
Scherer said he hopes the study provides researchers with a different view of the ancient Maya. And perhaps it even offers inspiration to the modern-day agricultural field where people are looking for sustainable ways to grow food for an ever-growing global population.
12. What does the author intend to show in the first paragraph?
A. Agricultural achievements of the ancient Maya.
B. A long-standing theory about the downfall of Maya.
C. Ecological impacts of Mayan agricultural practices.
D. A conflict between city expansion and population growth.
13. What did the researchers discover through their study?
A. The rapid development of big towns.
B. The struggles of some Maya kingdoms.
C. The sufficient supply of food in the society.
D. The population explosion between 350 and 900 AD.
14. What can be inferred about the three study subjects?
A. They have been rarely researched before.
B. They had relatively advanced city planning.
C. They had well-known ancient communities.
D. They were once abandoned by their citizens.
15. What conclusion about the ancient Maya will the team draw?
A. They dealt well with natural risks.
B. They faced severe water shortages.
C. They actually practiced sustainable farming.
D. They struggled to control population growth.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了新研究揭示古玛雅农业并非文明衰落主因,复杂灌溉和梯田系统表明某些玛雅王国在公元350至900年间食物供应充足,生活舒适,为可持续农业提供了历史灵感。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““There’s an explanation that describes the Maya as people who devoted themselves to unchecked (不加约束的) agricultural development,” said Andrew Scherer, a professor at Brown University, “The explanation goes: The population grew too large, the agriculture expanded, and then everything fell apart.” (“有一种解释将玛雅人描述为致力于不受约束的农业发展的人,”布朗大学教授安德鲁·谢勒说,“解释是:人口增长过大,农业扩张,然后一切都分崩离析。”)”可知,作者在本段想要展示的是一个关于玛雅文明衰落的长期理论。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The findings indicated that between 350 and 900 AD, some Maya kingdoms were living comfortably, with no proven food insecurity. (研究结果表明,在公元350年至900年间,一些玛雅王国生活舒适,没有被证明的粮食不安全。)”以及第五段“Agricultural intensification methods in these Maya kingdoms included building terraces and creating water management systems, suggesting that these kingdoms were not only prepared for population growth but also likely harvested much more food than they could consume every year. (这些玛雅王国的农业集约化方法包括建造梯田和建立水管理系统,这表明这些王国不仅为人口增长做好了准备,而且可能收获的食物远远超过了每年的消费量。)”可知,研究人员通过研究发现玛雅王国社会中有足够的食物供应。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When the team set about the survey, their primary motivation was to learn more about the infrastructure (基础设施) of regions that are unknown, owing to the thick forest that has long hidden ancient communities from view. (当该团队开始调查时,他们的主要动机是了解更多未知地区的基础设施,因为茂密的森林长期以来一直隐藏着古老的社区。)”可推知,因为茂密的森林长期以来一直隐藏着古老的社区,所以三个研究对象以前很少被研究。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Scherer said he hopes the study provides researchers with a different view of the ancient Maya. And perhaps it even offers inspiration to the modern-day agricultural field where people are looking for sustainable ways to grow food for an ever-growing global population. (谢勒说,他希望这项研究能为研究人员提供对古代玛雅人不同的看法。也许它甚至为现代农业领域提供了灵感,在这一领域人们正在寻找可持续的方式来为不断增长的全球人口种植粮食。)”以及文章内容可知,研究团队将得出结论,古玛雅人为现代农业领域提供灵感,由此推测古玛雅人实际上实行了可持续的耕种方法。故选C项。

【答案】English Literature Reading Class Opens a New World
I’m so excited to share my experience in the English Literature Reading class, which has opened my eyes to the wonders of literature and fostered great passion for reading.
Starting this semester, the class is designed specifically for us to enhance our English proficiency(熟练). Each week this class unfolds with a new literary masterpiece ranging from classic novels to contemporary poetry. Through group reading, interactive discussions and insightful analyses, not only are we able to explore the depths of literature and sharpen our critical thinking, but also foster a sense of collaboration(合作) and teamwork. Personally, I think it wouldn’t be better if more significance could be attached to regular writing assignments, which would help us consolidate(巩固) our learning and develop our writing skills.
Overall, this curriculum(课程) has been a rewarding experience. With some minor adjustments, I am fully convinced that this course will play a more important role in broadening our horizons and enriching our mind.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When my little brother Tom was four, Mom said something like “I’d give anything to have a few more hours in the day.” And Tom said, “Why don’t we buy a bigger clock?” If time had worked that way, I could have had more time last week!
Our teacher asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat, “I can’t believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh. “I have no idea how I’ll get my project done.”
I didn’t say anything. Not because I was nervous—I wasn’t nervous at all. 1 love art projects! In fact, I was so relaxed that I didn’t work on the project at all on Monday night. I planned to start the moment I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday. But there was just one thing.
I forgot baseball would last longer than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies, which happens every month, and it’s a chance for us older students to practise baseball with the adorable younger kids. The minute I got home, I threw the entire craft box (手工盒) onto the kitchen table, took out my “How Plants Eat” paper, and started to work. But just then, the telephone rang.
It was my friend Ollie, who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I’d come help decorate them. I love decorating cookies, and I love, love, love Abucla’s world-famous Thanksgiving cookies that only happen once a year!
Feeling there was still time, I went anyway. Ollie and I put all the star cookies with red jam filling in one group, and all the snowflakes with white cream-cheese filling in another. It was 7 o’clock when I finally got home. I planned to work on my project right after we ate. But then another interruption hit me.

Paragraph 1:
Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.”

Paragraph 2:
The big “F” on my paper urged me to reflect and improve.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】(1)
Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.” What Dad uttered was a hammer blow to me, leaving me into deeper anxiety. However, that was one of our family rules, so I had no choice but to do the dishes reluctantly. The clinking of dishes were disquieting sounds from hell to me, reminding me that the clock was ticking second by second. After I threw the last dish into the cabinet, I dashed to my bedroom, only to find that the hour hand had moved past ten. Without much time left, I finished the assignment in a hurry. The next day, I handed in it nervously.
The big “F” on my paper urged me to reflect and improve. My life seemed in a mess these days, arising from my loose attitude and messy schedule. My energy was segmented and occupied by some trivial matters which had nothing to do with my project. I just shoot myself in the foot. Out of guilt, I tried to get the projected improved and promised to my teacher that this would never happen again, After this experience, I eventually comprehended the importance of time, and began to arrange for my schedule with caution. With confidence, I was firmly convinced that I could get a satisfying score in the next assignment.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了合理安排时间的重要性。老师给作者所在的班级布置了一项任务,作者只有两个晚上的时间来完成它,但她认为自己可以很快完成这项任务,所以第一天晚上根本没有做这个任务。她本打算第二天晚上完成,但却又因为去参加棒球训练和去朋友家装饰饼干耽误了时间。当作者返回家中,正打算完成这项任务时,又被打断了。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“就在我要开始的时候,爸爸说:‘乔安娜,轮到你洗碗了。’”可知,第一段可描写作者因为洗碗又耽误了时间及作者的感受。
②由第二段首句内容“论文上的大大的“F”促使我反思和改进。”可知,第二段可描写作者对自己浪费时间的行为的反思及反思后的行动。

US Army veteran (退伍老兵) Mazyck remembers when doctors told her she would never walk again. She’d been paralyzed (瘫痪) from the waist down after a serious accident while parachuting (跳伞) in 2003. The doctors, though, never said anything about floating. In 2021, she got to do just that.
Mazyck was one of 12 participants in a Zero Gravity flight organized by the group AstroAccess. This type of flight recreates the weightlessness that astronauts experience without going all the way to space. Flying over the Pacific Ocean off Southern California, the modified 747 jet airplane made 15 steep dives and climbs, allowing the flyers multiple periods of weightlessness. The experience left Mazyck feeling joyful. “The flight was something that I would never have experienced in my wildest dreams,” she says, “especially the floating, the weightlessness.”
During the flight, she says, the participants were expected to do experiments and made observations. They took note of things that people without certain disabilities might not realize are issues. For example, people who couldn’t grip with their legs needed another way to hold themselves still while weightless. The group also experimented with signaling lights for the deaf and with ways of using braille (盲文) for the blind.
Traditionally, strict physical requirements have prevented disabled people from becoming astronauts. AstroAccess is working to make space accessible to all. “Space removes the barriers between people; now is the time to remove the barriers to space itself,” says Mazyck, “It is sending a message to people who have historically been excluded from space travel that not only is there room for you in space, but there is a need for you.”
Indeed, now is the time to make space accessible—before space tourism or space settlements become commonplace. “I am so excited about what’s happening here,” Mazyck adds. “We are paving the way for the future.”
4. What do we know about AstroAccess?
A. It redesigns jet airplanes. B. It offers weightlessness experience.
C. It provides physical treatment. D. It hires the disabled to be astronauts.
5. What is required in the flights for the participants?
A. Steep dives and climbs. B. Floating experience.
C. Weightlessness periods. D. Trials and observations.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Mazyck?
A. Courageous and optimistic. B. Caring and persistent.
C. Generous and determined. D. Ambitious and innovative.
7. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Paving the Way for the Future B. Disabled Americans Make It to Space
C. Making Space a Place for Everyone D. US Veterans Experience Zero Gavity Flight
C
When instant cake mixes first appeared in the 1950s, American housewives were doubtful. These mixes, promising easy cake-baking, felt too easy. The manufacturers discovered that requiring the addition of an egg in the baking process was just enough to make the housewives happy with their work. The greater sense of effort gained from a little extra labor is believed to have been essential to the later success of the cake mix.
This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效应), which is identified by psychologist Michael I. Norton and his colleagues, suggesting we place greater value on things we have worked to create. They conducted four studies in which they asked participants to fold paper cranes and frogs, assemble IKEA boxes, and build sets of Legos. They then asked the builders to bid (出价) for their creations, and compared the prices with bids from people who hadn’t built them. The builders consistently outbid the non-builders.
Interestingly, the IKEA effect works even when people have no opportunity to fully personalize their creations. While most participants’ folding skills left much to be desired, they loved their imperfectly personalized products all the more. Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creations nearly five times as much as non-builders. Beauty, it seems, is in the eye of the builder.
Today, as cities are suffering from severe housing crises, the IKEA effect can give us insight into the well-being benefits of a self-building approach to housing development. Projects like WikiHouse and the “half-a-house” approach pioneered by Alejandro Aravena’s architecture company Elemental are working to make housing more affordable and sustainable by making it easier for people to build and personalize their own homes.
“The moment people are involved with their built environment, they have a totally different relationship to it,” WikiHouse co-founder Alastair Parvin explained. “When the roof starts leaking or a door starts creaking, they have the power to fix it themselves.”
8. What brought customers the joy of cake-baking according to paragraph 1?
A. A better taste. B. An easy approach.

For years, experts in climate science and ecology have presented the agricultural practices of the ancient Maya as primary examples of what not to do. “There’s an explanation that describes the Maya as people who devoted themselves to unchecked (不加约束的) agricultural development,” said Andrew Scherer, a professor at Brown University, “The explanation goes: The population grew too large, the agriculture expanded, and then everything fell apart.”
But a new study, led by Scherer, suggests that that explanation doesn’t tell the full story.
Using a remote sensing technology, the team surveyed an area in the western Maya lowlands. The results revealed extensive systems of complex irrigation (灌溉) and terracing (阶梯状坡地), but no huge population increases to match. The findings indicated that between 350 and 900 AD, some Maya kingdoms were living comfortably, with no proven food insecurity.
When the team set about the survey, their primary motivation was to learn more about the infrastructure (基础设施) of regions that are unknown, owing to the thick forest that has long hidden ancient communities from view. Therefore, the team chose to survey three Maya sites: Piedras Negras, La Mar and SakTz’i’.
The survey revealed signs of what the researchers call “agricultural intensification”—the adjustment of land to increase the volume of crop productivity. Agricultural intensification methods in these Maya kingdoms included building terraces and creating water management systems, suggesting that these kingdoms were not only prepared for population growth but also likely harvested much more food than they could consume every year.
Scherer said he hopes the study provides researchers with a different view of the ancient Maya. And perhaps it even offers inspiration to the modern-day agricultural field where people are looking for sustainable ways to grow food for an ever-growing global population.
12. What does the author intend to show in the first paragraph?
A. Agricultural achievements of the ancient Maya.
B. A long-standing theory about the downfall of Maya.
C. Ecological impacts of Mayan agricultural practices.
D. A conflict between city expansion and population growth.
13. What did the researchers discover through their study?
A. The rapid development of big towns.
B. The struggles of some Maya kingdoms.
C. The sufficient supply of food in the society.
D. The population explosion between 350 and 900 AD.
14. What can be inferred about the three study subjects?
A. They have been rarely researched before.
B. They had relatively advanced city planning.
C. They had well-known ancient communities.
D. They were once abandoned by their citizens.
15. What conclusion about the ancient Maya will the team draw?
A. They dealt well with natural risks.
B. They faced severe water shortages.
C. They actually practiced sustainable farming.
D. They struggled to control population growth.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When my little brother Tom was four, Mom said something like “I’d give anything to have a few more hours in the day.” And Tom said, “Why don’t we buy a bigger clock?” If time had worked that way, I could have had more time last week!
Our teacher asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat, “I can’t believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh. “I have no idea how I’ll get my project done.”
I didn’t say anything. Not because I was nervous—I wasn’t nervous at all. 1 love art projects! In fact, I was so relaxed that I didn’t work on the project at all on Monday night. I planned to start the moment I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday. But there was just one thing.
I forgot baseball would last longer than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies, which happens every month, and it’s a chance for us older students to practise baseball with the adorable younger kids. The minute I got home, I threw the entire craft box (手工盒) onto the kitchen table, took out my “How Plants Eat” paper, and started to work. But just then, the telephone rang.
It was my friend Ollie, who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I’d come help decorate them. I love decorating cookies, and I love, love, love Abucla’s world-famous Thanksgiving cookies that only happen once a year!
Feeling there was still time, I went anyway. Ollie and I put all the star cookies with red jam filling in one group, and all the snowflakes with white cream-cheese filling in another. It was 7 o’clock when I finally got home. I planned to work on my project right after we ate. But then another interruption hit me.
