M: Had you done something to help her?
W: Since she was fifteen, she’s had training courses every day. Someone had to drive her there and back. So I tried to reach a part-time agreement with my boss. Originally, I was a keen tennis player, but I thought Alice had more of a future than I did! So I put my interests on hold.
M: Gymnastics is a short career. Have you and Alice got plans for her future?
W: Well, she helps out at a home for kids. She wants to keep that up. But most likely, she’ll go to college and get a qualification so she can coach other people in gymnastics.
M: What do you think is the secret of Alice’s success?
W: She’s bright and takes things in well, but she could never have succeeded in getting to this level if she weren’t so determined and didn’t make so many demands on herself.

C. Doing 20-minute reading every morning.

20. Why do people choose to make resolutions on January 1st?
A. To increase the chances of achieving goals.
B. To reduce needless pressure.
C. To stop bad hobbies easily.
【答案】17. A 18. B 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】M: Are New Year’s resolutions powerful or pointless? Almost every year of my life, I’ve started the New Year with a set of resolutions that I’ve been determined to keep. The results, predictably, have been variable. Last year, I mostly kept to my fitness goal of doing 20-minute sports each day, but I failed miserably at my aim of quitting social media. According to my weekly screen-time reports, I still spend between two and three hours each day on my phone. I am far from alone in my determination to start each new year with a plan for self-improvement. At least a quarter of people typically make New Year’s resolutions, and a large portion of those good wishes end in disappointment. Rationally speaking, January 1st should be no better than any other day to make a life change. So why put the needless pressure on ourselves to “upgrade” our lives at the opening of a new calendar? Recent psychological research, however, suggests that there are many good reasons to begin a new habit on the first day of a new year. That’s because we can all increase our chances of sticking to our new goals for the new year.

TikTokers have shown their love and support for a woman who was left “heartbroken” after her farm was sabotaged. Carly Burd, from Harlow, England, found the soil covered in salt and posted a touching video about the incident on TikTok.
Burd, who has Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus (多发性硬化症和狼疮), told viewers she believed someone went onto her plot of land and placed salt to destroy the work that she’s put in to help feed people in need.
Last November, Burd began posting about her “A Meal on Me with Love”. “I changed my garden into a place to provide those on benefits, pensioners (领养老金的人) on state pension and those on a low income free organic fruit and vegetables plus other necessities of life. They receive a large box that contains necessities plus enough food, fruit, vegetables,rice, breakfast etc. for the number of people in the household,” Burd said. Up till now she’s fed more than 1,600 people among the cost of living crisis in the UK.
After Burd shared her heartbreak on TikTok, users began providing lots of donations, advice, and support. Burd’s “A Meal on Me with Love” has been flooded with donations in light of this incident.
As of Thursday morning, Burd’s GoFundMe campaign has raised £184,777 of its first £4,000 goal. “The world needs more people like you,” one person wrote with a $15 donation. “Your love and kindness for humanity is amazing. All of us would be so lucky to cross paths with someone like you in a time of need,” another person commented with a $10 donation.
Burd said in an update that with the help of others she was able to dig up a lot of the salt and cover it with topsoil to neutralize (中和) it. “I’m really losing my head by everyone’s comments and everything,” she said. “I really do appreciate it — thank you.”

Art is a reflection of society and culture. It helps us understand what we are as human beings and influences how we relate to each other. It’s also an expression of creativity that can be used for self-reflection or social influence.
Art is important to individuals for many different reasons. Art is highly subjective and also very personal and has long been a medium where individuals can express their feelings and emotions.
For many people, art has always been a part of their lives and is an essential part of their personality or who they are. Art has the ability to help people get through some of the hardest times in their lives.
Art helps people connect with one another on a deeper level, whether by speaking your language or by imagining your thoughts differently. Some artworks speak to someone more than others, and everyone will have a piece of art that is particularly important or special to them.
Art has been a part of human culture for many centuries. It has been used to express emotions, to communicate ideas and it has been a way to pass down knowledge from one generation to another. So it is important in our cultural and social lives. Art also plays a role in recording history, and many artworks help us paint a picture of what life was like in previous generations.
Art is also particularly important as a symbol of culture across the world. Research has shown that art can affect the basic sense of self. Folk arts, for example, are highly unique to specific cultures and tell the history and rich traditions of a region. Painting, architecture, art sculpture, music, literature and many other fine arts can be considered a repository (宝库) of a given society’s collective memory.
28. What can art help people do according to the text?
A. Deal with tough times. B. Make more money.
C. Control their feelings. D. Connect with art works.
29. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A. Art gives us an idea of how people lived in the past.
B. The value of artworks hasn’t been discovered until now.
C. Art is the best way to pass down knowledge in old times.
D. People only use artworks to express feelings instead of words.
30. How does the author develop the last paragraph?
A. By providing numbers. B. By giving an example.
C. By exploring reasons. D. By having a discussion.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Why Is Art Important? B. Learn History from Art
C. Where Can We Find Artworks? D. Pass Down the Artworks
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了艺术对于个人以及我们的历史文化传承的重要性,它是个人表达和情感宣泄的媒介,也是人类文化传承和历史记录的工具。艺术帮助人们建立深层次的联系,影响自我意识,并在不同文化中作为集体记忆的储存库。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Art has the ability to help people get through some of the hardest times in their lives. (艺术有能力帮助人们度过生命中最艰难时刻)”可知,艺术可以帮助人们应对艰难时刻。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Art also plays a role in recording history, and many artworks help us paint a picture of what life was like in previous generations. (艺术在记录历史方面也起着作用,许多艺术品帮助我们描绘出前几代人的生活)”可推知,艺术让我们了解过去人们是如何生活的。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Research has shown that art can affect the basic sense of self. Folk arts, for example, are highly unique to specific cultures and tell the history and rich traditions of a region. (研究表明,艺术可以影响基本的自我意识。例如,民间艺术对特定的文化来说是非常独特的,它讲述了一个地区的历史和丰富的传统)”可知,本段是通过举例子来阐述观点。故选B项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中“Art is important to individuals for many different reasons. (艺术对个人来说很重要的原因有很多)”、第五段中“Art has been a part of human culture for many centuries. (几个世纪以来,艺术一直是人类文化的一部分)”和最后一段中“Art is also particularly important as a symbol of culture across the world. (艺术作为世界文化的象征也尤为重要)”可知,文章主要从个人和社会集体两个方面,介绍了艺术对于个人以及我们的历史文化传承的重要性。因此,A项“为什么艺术很重要?”最契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选A项。

When we talk about plastic rubbish polluting the earth, we don't often talk about the environmental impacts caused by fast-food packaging. Actually, this packaging is often coated with environmentally damaging chemicals. Recently researchers from Flinders University and German biomaterials developer, one·five, have started using seaweed (海草) to solve the packaging waste problem of the fast-food industry.
Using seaweed to create sustainable alternatives to existing products isn’t a new concept. The idea of turning seaweed into a material to replace bubble wrap (气泡膜包装) was put forward more than seven years ago. This time, the Flinders University materials researchers and one·five are using seaweed extracts (提取物) to develop next-generation coating materials.
In fact, these new non-pollutive biomaterials are designed to replace the traditional fossil- based plastic coatings that are used in most oil-proof fast-food packaging. The new coating not only meets the required functionality standards of traditional oil-proof packaging materials but also works to create an environmentally sustainable solution. It is as recyclable as paper, explains Dr Zhongfan Jia, a lead researcher from the Flinders Institute.
“The seaweed extracts have a similar structure to the natural fibres from which paper is made,” says Dr Jia.
“Our novel treatments boost the oil-proof feature of the seaweed through simple adaptation while neither affecting the biodegradability (生物降解力) nor recyclability of the coated paper. ”
“The product could be great news for the environment. We are able to reduce harmful plastic pollution with it,” says Claire Gusko, co-founder of one·five.
Now Flinders University and one·five are trying mass production from the laboratory to the factory.
Although achievements like this are definitely worth celebrating, we can’t just stop at seaweed packaging. We need to use seaweed and other sustainable tools to effectively help reduce our environmental impacts and make real changes.
32. What’re researchers from Flinder University and one·five doing?
A. Turning seaweed into bubble wrap.
B. Using seaweed to develop new coating materials.
C. Producing seaweed extracts.
D. Solving the food waste problem.
33. What is the traditional plastic coating like?
A. Recyclable. B. Sustainable. C. Cheap D. Oil-proof.
34. What do we know about the seaweed extract coating?
A. It is environmentally friendly.
B. It is coated with damaging material.
C. It is just a novel concept.
D. It has been put on the market.
35. Why does the author write the text?
A. To ask people not to use plastic package from now on.
B. To advertise for a kind of environmentally friendly product.
C. To introduce a replacement for traditional packaging material.
D. To warn us of the environmental impacts caused by packaging.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】

细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This time, the Flinders University materials researchers and one·five are using seaweed extracts (提取物) to develop next-generation coating materials. (这一次,弗林德斯大学的材料研究人员和 one·five 公司正在利用海藻提取物开发下一代涂层材料。)”可知,研究者和 one·five正在使用海藻提取物开发下一代涂层材料。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In fact, these new non-pollutive biomaterials are designed to replace the traditional fossil- based plastic coatings that are used in most oil-proof fast-food packaging. (事实上,这些新型无污染的生物材料旨在取代大多数防油快餐包装中使用的传统化石基塑料涂层。)”可知,传统的包装是防油的。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第六段““The product could be great news for the environment. We are able to reduce harmful plastic pollution with it,” says Claire Gusko, co-founder of one·five. (“这一产品对环境来说可能是一个好消息。我们能够用它来减少有害塑料污染,”one·five的联合创始人克莱尔·古斯科说道。)”可知,新的涂膜是环保的。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Recently researchers from Flinders University and German biomaterials developer, one·five, have started using seaweed to solve the packaging waste problem of the fast-food industry. (最近,弗林德斯大学的研究人员和德国生物材料开发商 one·five 开始利用海藻来解决快餐业的包装废弃物问题。)”和文章第二段“This time, the Flinders University materials researchers and one·five are using seaweed extracts (提取物) to develop next-generation coating materials. (这一次,弗林德斯大学的材料研究人员和其中一人正在使用海藻提取物开发下一代涂层材料。)”可知,文章讲述了快餐包装纸上的塑料涂膜也会造成污染,为了解决这一问题,研究者尝试用海草提取物来制作涂膜。由此可知,作者写这篇文章主要是为了介绍一种替代传统包装材料的产品。故选C。

How to Build Patience Abilities
What’s the purpose of building patience abilities? In a word happiness. Better relationships, more success. But indeed it takes efforts to build them successfully. ____36____ Thus, when the big ones come, we will have developed the patience we need for hard times.
____37____ We, human beings, are still constructed with our old reptilian (爬行动物的) brain that protects our physical and emotional survival. The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming. So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience—anger, impatience, blame and shame. We all have them, and we can grow beyond them.
Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain. ____38____ We try to change the other person, situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort. But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that’s the source of our pain, but how our mind is set. So the solution to pain is an inside job.
Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts. Most of us don’t really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest—but very present—painful feelings. We ignore the fact that we’re in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem. ____39____ Focusing on what’s actually happening, you can notice the worry of not wanting what’s happening, the resistance.
Practise positive self-talk. When you find yourself impatient, or angry with yourself, you can remind yourself that you are growing. You can say to yourself, “It’s true. I don’t like this. ____40____”
A. This is uncomfortable, but I can tolerate it.
B. Patience is good for you in every aspect.
C. Don’t blame yourself for being angry sometimes.
D. Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions.
E. Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience.
F. Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pain and annoyance.
G. But to care for ourselves, get curious’ about what’s happening in the moment inside you.
【答案】36. F 37. E 38. D 39. G 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了培养耐心的有效方法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“But indeed it taken efforts to build them successfully. (但事实上,成功地建立它们需要努力。)”可知,下文需要填一个合适的努力方式,“Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pain and annoyance. (推荐一些有效的方法来训练自己,让自己在工作中少一些痛苦和烦恼。)”符合语境,前后衔接紧密。故选F项。
【37题详解】
根据后文“So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience-anger, impatience, blame and shame. (因此,培养耐心的第一步是接触与耐心相反的令人上瘾的品质——愤怒、不耐烦、责备和羞耻。)”可知,空格应该是要介绍某种不良情绪,“Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience. (了解愤怒和不耐烦的成瘾性。)”适合作段首句。故选E项。
【38题详解】
根据后文“We try to change the other person, situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort. (我们试图改变那些我们认为正在引起不适的其他人、形势或者事物。)”可知,“Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions. (疼痛有它的目的,并且推动我们去找到解决方法。)”符合上下文的语境,与前文构成因果关系,后文是列举了解决方法,衔接紧密。故选D项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“We ignore the fact that we’re in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem. (我们怎略了我们处于痛苦中的事实,并完全专注于解决问题。)”可知,下文应该填关于关注内心的内容,“But to care for ourselves, get curious about what’s actually happening in the moment inside you. (但要关心自己,就要对你内心此刻发生的事情感到好奇。)”与上一句构成转折关系。故选G项。
【40题详解】
该段主旨句为“Practise positive self-talk. (练习积极的自我对话。)”。根据前文“When you find yourself impatient, or angry with yourself, you can remind yourself that you are growing. You can say to yourself. ‘It’s true. I don’t like this.’ (当你发现自己没有耐心或生自己的气时,你可以提醒自己,你正在成长。你可以对自己说:‘这是真的。我不喜欢这样……’)”可知,空格处继续说这种状况下你能做的事情,“This is uncomfortable, but I can tolerate it.(这很不舒服,但我能忍受。)”符合语境。故选A项。

【答案】Dear Chris,
How's it going? I have an unforgettable experience to share with you. Last Friday students in our class watched an interesting science-fiction movie in the science club in our school.
The movie was The Time Machine, which was a most exciting science-fiction movie adapted from the wildly popular novel written by H. G. Wells and has been a hit ever since it came out. The film not only enriched our after-class life, but also broadened our horizons and inspired our imagination.

Looking forward to your reply.

67. 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 Jack was in his teens, he and his friends suddenly became crazy about throwing stones. They received a lot of scolding from their neighbours because they made them restless. However, they still went their own way.
One day, they were hitting a little bird when one of the stones rebounded (反弹), almost hitting an old man.
“Oh boys, boys, don’t throw stones at that poor bird. I am afraid the stone will rebound, and hurt you as long as you live!”
“Rebound! I don’t understand you!” said Jack.
“Well, come and I will tell you a true story. ”Here is the story that the old man told them.
My dear boys, fifty years ago, I was a boy like you. I used to throw stones until I became very accurate. One day I went to work for an aged couple. They were very kind to everybody and everything. Few had so many swallows (燕子) making their nests under the roofs of their houses. The birds seemed to love the couple. For seven years a bird had come, after the long winter was over, and built her nest in the same place, and raised her young ones there. She and her mate had just returned when I went there to work, and the couple welcomed them heartily. The bird jumped about, as if glad to be back. During the day, I thought I would try my skill upon her. She sat upon a post near the spot where she was to build her nest, and looked at me trustfully, as much as to say, “You won’t hurt me? ”I found a nice stone, and I threw it with my greatest skill. It struck the bird on the head and she dropped dead! I was sorry the moment I saw her fall. But the deed was done. I said nothing to the old couple about it. But one of their grandchildren told them what I had done. Though the couple never said a word to me, I knew that they were deeply saddened by my cruelty. I could never look at them in the face afterwards.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Oh, I should have told them how sorry I was!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After listening to this story, Jack and his friends fell silent.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Oh, I should have told them how sorry I was! They have been dead many years, and so has the poor bird; but don’t you see how that stone rebounded, and hit me? How much the memory of it has hurt me! I would pay a great deal today if I could release from my present feeling! For fifty years I have remembered it. I have never spoken of it before; but if what my words will prevent you from throwing a stone that may rebound, I will be happy.
After listening to this story, Jack and his friends fell silent. Obviously, they were deeply moved by this true story. Jack and his little friend apologized to the old man. They continued to talk for a long time. They seemed to have matured and grown up all of a sudden. Later, Jack and his friends occasionally played by throwing stones, but they were very careful not to harm the cute little animals around them, and they also stayed away from the community, no longer disturbing the lives of their neighbours. They put more energy into helping the elderly around them and received their praise.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了一位老人通过分享自己年轻时的经历,来告诫一群热衷于扔石子的少年不要伤害无辜的生命,尤其是像小鸟这样信任人类的生物。老人年轻时因为向一只正在筑巢的燕子扔石子并导致其死亡,而深感内疚和懊悔,同时也感受到了被伤害者的家庭深深的悲伤和失望。这一经历让老人意识到自己的行为对他人造成的伤害是无法弥补的,因此他希望少年们能从中吸取教训,不要重蹈覆辙。
【详解】1.段落续写

TikTokers have shown their love and support for a woman who was left “heartbroken” after her farm was sabotaged. Carly Burd, from Harlow, England, found the soil covered in salt and posted a touching video about the incident on TikTok.
Burd, who has Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus (多发性硬化症和狼疮), told viewers she believed someone went onto her plot of land and placed salt to destroy the work that she’s put in to help feed people in need.

All of us would be so lucky to cross paths with someone like you in a time of need,” another person commented with a $10 donation.
Burd said in an update that with the help of others she was able to dig up a lot of the salt and cover it with topsoil to neutralize (中和) it. “I’m really losing my head by everyone’s comments and everything,” she said. “I really do appreciate it — thank you.”

Art is a reflection of society and culture. It helps us understand what we are as human beings and influences how we relate to each other. It’s also an expression of creativity that can be used for self-reflection or social influence.
Art is important to individuals for many different reasons. Art is highly subjective and also very personal and has long been a medium where individuals can express their feelings and emotions.
For many people, art has always been a part of their lives and is an essential part of their personality or who they are. Art has the ability to help people get through some of the hardest times in their lives.
Art helps people connect with one another on a deeper level whether by speaking your language or by imagining your thoughts differently. Some artworks speak to someone more than others, and everyone will have a piece of art that is particularly important or special to them.
Art has been a part of human culture for many centuries. It has been used to express emotions, to communicate ideas and it has been a way to pass down knowledge from one generation to another. So it is important in our cultural and social lives. Art also plays a role in recording history, and many artworks help us paint a picture of what life was like in previous generations.
Art is also particularly important as a symbol of culture across the world. Research has shown that art can affect the basic sense of self. Folk arts, for example, are highly unique to specific cultures and tell the history and rich traditions of a region. Painting, architecture, art sculpture, music, literature and many other fine arts can be considered a repository (宝库) of a given society’s collective memory.

When we talk about plastic rubbish polluting the earth, we don't often talk about the environmental impacts caused by fast-food packaging. Actually, this packaging is often coated with environmentally damaging chemicals. Recently researchers from Flinders University and German biomaterials developer, one·five, have started using seaweed (海草) to solve the packaging waste problem of the fast-food industry.
Using seaweed to create sustainable alternatives to existing products isn’t a new concept. The idea of turning seaweed into a material to replace bubble wrap (气泡膜包装) was put forward more than seven years ago. This time, the Flinders University materials researchers and one·five are using seaweed extracts (提取物) to develop next-generation coating materials.
In fact, these new non-pollutive biomaterials are designed to replace the traditional fossil- based plastic coatings that are used in most oil-proof fast-food packaging. The new coating not only meets the required functionality standards of traditional oil-proof packaging materials but also works to create an environmentally sustainable solution. It is as recyclable as paper, explains Dr Zhongfan Jia, a lead researcher from the Flinders Institute.
“The seaweed extracts have a similar structure to the natural fibres from which paper is made,” says Dr Jia.
“Our novel treatments boost the oil-proof feature of the seaweed through simple adaptation while neither affecting the biodegradability (生物降解力) nor recyclability of the coated paper. ”
“The product could be great news for the environment. We are able to reduce harmful plastic pollution with it,” says Claire Gusko, co-founder of one·five.
Now Flinders University and one·five are trying mass production from the laboratory to the factory.
Although achievements like this are definitely worth celebrating, we can’t just stop at seaweed packaging. We need to use seaweed and other sustainable tools to effectively help reduce our environmental impacts and make real changes.
32. What’re researchers from Flinder University and one·five doing?
A. Turning seaweed into bubble wrap.
B. Using seaweed to develop new coating materials.
C. Producing seaweed extracts.
D. Solving the food waste problem.
33. What is the traditional plastic coating like?
A. Recyclable. B. Sustainable. C. Cheap D. Oil-proof.
34. What do we know about the seaweed extract coating?
A. It is environmentally friendly.
B. It is coated with damaging material.
C. It is just a novel concept.
D. It has been put on the market.
35. Why does the author write the text?
A. To ask people not to use plastic package from now on.
B. To advertise for a kind of environmentally friendly product.
C. To introduce a replacement for traditional packaging material.
D. To warn us of the environmental impacts caused by packaging.

How to Build Patience Abilities
What’s the purpose of building patience abilities? In a word, happiness. Better relationships, more success. But indeed it takes efforts to build them successfully. ____36____ Thus, when the big ones come, we will have developed the patience we need for hard times.
____37____ We, human beings, are still constructed with our old reptilian (爬行动物的) brain that protects our physical and emotional survival. The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming. So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience—anger, impatience, blame and shame. We all have them, and we can grow beyond them.
Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain. ____38____ We try to change the other person, situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort. But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that’s the source of our pain, but how our mind is set. So the solution to pain is an inside job.
Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts. Most of us don’t really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest—but very present—painful feelings. We ignore the fact that we’re in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem. ____39____ Focusing on what’s actually happening, you can notice the worry of not wanting what’s happening, the resistance.
Practise positive self-talk. When you find yourself impatient, or angry with yourself, you can remind yourself that you are growing. You can say to yourself, “It’s true. I don’t like this. ____40____”
A. This is uncomfortable, but I can tolerate it.
B. Patience is good for you in every aspect.
C. Don’t blame yourself for being angry sometimes.
D. Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions.
E. Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience.
F. Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pain and annoyance.
G. But to care for ourselves, get curious’ about what’s happening in the moment inside you.

67. 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 Jack was in his teens, he and his friends suddenly became crazy about throwing stones. They received a lot of scolding from their neighbours because they made them restless. However, they still went their own way.
One day, they were hitting a little bird when one of the stones rebounded (反弹), almost hitting an old man.
“Oh boys, boys, don’t throw stones at that poor bird. I am afraid the stone will rebound, and hurt you as long as you live!”
“Rebound! I don’t understand you!” said Jack.
“Well, come and I will tell you a true story. ”Here is the story that the old man told them.
My dear boys, fifty years ago, I was a boy like you. I used to throw stones until I became very accurate. One day I went to work for an aged couple. They were very kind to everybody and everything. Few had so many swallows (燕子) making their nests under the roofs of their houses. The birds seemed to love the couple. For seven years a bird had come, after the long winter was over, and built her nest in the same place, and raised her young ones there. She and her mate had just returned when I went there to work, and the couple welcomed them heartily. The bird jumped about, as if glad to be back. During the day, I thought I would try my skill upon her. She sat upon a post near the spot where she was to build her nest, and looked at me trustfully, as much as to say, “You won’t hurt me? ”I found a nice stone, and I threw it with my greatest skill. It struck the bird on the head and she dropped dead! I was sorry the moment I saw her fall. But the deed was done. I said nothing to the old couple about it. But one of their grandchildren told them what I had done. Though the couple never said a word to me, I knew that they were deeply saddened by my cruelty. I could never look at them in the face afterwards.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Oh, I should have told them how sorry I was!

After listening to this story, Jack and his friends fell silent.
