B Being patient (耐心) was not what Hana did best. “I can't wait for it to snow!”Hana said as soon as the leaves turned red in fall. “Aren't we there yet?”she asked whenever her family started a car trip. “Hurry, hurry, hurry!”she shouted to the friends coming to her birthday party. So when her grandma told her she could have one of Blackie's cats, Hana went wild. Because she had to wait for a month. “Use the calendar, tearing(撕) one every day,”suggested her mother. “Use the moon,”suggested her brother Randy. You remember how the moon changes shape, right?” “Yes, it's a full moon now,”Hana said. 第2页/共 8页 “Right,”said Randy.“Will it still be full tomorrow?” Hana hesitated.“Well, almost. But it will be a little bit smaller.” “That's right,”Randy said.“And the night after that it will be a little smaller and it'll keep getting smaller until we can't see it at all. Then it'll get fatter and fatter until a full moon again. It takes four weeks to go from full moon to full moon. Hana got out of the window.“I'll draw a picture of the moon every night, it will help the time go faster.” “Time for bed,”her dad said one night.“Say good night to the gibbous moon.” “What's a gibbous?”asked Hana. “That's what the moon is called when it's less than full but more than half,”her dad said. Finally the night came when Hana looked out of the window and covered her whole paper with a huge round golden moon, just like her first picture. It's time, a black kitten rushed into Hana.“She's black like the night, and her eyes shine like the moon.“ Hana scooped up the kitten and kissed her perfect little nose.“She's my moon-cat, and her name is Luna.” 19.

Tens or even hundreds of people come together, choose to be“cats”or“mice”, share locations on their phones,and then play hide-and-seek in a big open-air space. ②Recently, I went to experience the activity with my friend Patrick McCarthy at the Olympic Forest Park in Beijing. There were around 30 people. Most of us didn't know each other. The game had two rounds(轮). In the first round, five people were“cats”and the rest were“mice”. After five minutes for“mice”to run and hide, the“cats”went out to find them using locations they shared on a map app.The second round was a group competition. ③“We all played hide-and-seek when we were little. How did it become the renewed interest in 第3页/共 8页 such a busy city life?”When I invited McCarthy he wondered,“What's the point of playing this game as a grown-up?” ④It turned out to be a joyful experience for him. The use of GPS made this childhood game much more fun.“It was a creative way of bringing something new to old games using technology(科技)”, said McCarthy.“It is a good way to meet new people and even make friends, as one needs to work together with new people.” ⑤For me, it's good that this activity got me moving as I'm not so interested in working out in my daily life. However, I will have more fun if the park isn't so big. When I saw the“mice”were so far away from me,I just wanted to give up. On the other hand, when it became difficult for me to get caught, I felt less excited. 23. Which statement is true about citywide hide-and-seek gnme? A. Only a small number of people can join the game. B. Young people play the game both indoors and outdoors. C. There are usually 5“cats”and 10“mice”in the game. D.

D. become different 25. Which paragraph shows the reason of the popularity of the game? A Para.2 B. Para.3 C. Para.4 D. Para.5 26 What's the writer's attitude toward the game“citywide hide-and-seek”? A. Worried but agreeable. B. Refusing and doubtful. C. Interested but difficult. D. Confident and supportive.
