“Don’t go across the pond today, children,” she said, as she kissed them goodbye one morning. “It is beginning to thaw.”
“All right, mother,” said Harry, not very happy, for he was very fond of running and sliding on the ice.
When they came to the pond, the ice looked hard and safe.
“There,” Harry said to his sister, “let’s slide over it.”
“But you promised mother,” said Annie. “No, I didn’t, I only said ‘All right’, and it is all right.”
“I didn’t say anything, so I can do as I like.” said Annie.
So they stepped on the ice and started to go across the pond.
They had not gone far before the ice gave way, and suddenly they fell into the water.
A man who was at work near the pond heard the crying of the children and rushed into the water to save them.

“I realized I couldn’t go home every weekend for my mom’s delicious dishes,” says Shreya, who is about to enter university. Shreya has recently started following her mother around the kitchen, taking notes on how to make her “masala chai” and tasty kachoris.
“Those special tastes can immediately unlock a whole flood of emotions, memories and feelings of family, love, and comfort,” says she.
She adds, “I am looking to the day when my kids will come to know of their grandmothers through the dishes they cooked.”
But many of us find it difficult to keep the food connection with our busy life. Even if we have time, not many of us take the effort to collect and record the recipes from our grandmothers and parents. We often get a recipe on the phone and take it down quickly on a piece of paper. We just stick it onto the fridge for a week or two and forget about it as soon as the paper disappears from there.
Actually, there are simple ways to keep family recipes, Scrapbooks (剪贴薄) are easily found in the market. You can even add photos to record every detail of your memories about the recipe. With the help of some popular apps like Story Scans, recording family recipes has never been easier. What is needed is to scan the recipes and record the story behind each of them. It can become the most meaningful work you have ever done with and for your family.
Keeping family recipes is saving and honoring our tradition so that future generations can continue to make family ties stronger. Every time you remember your loved ones, recreate one of the dishes from your collection and let the memories from the good old days comfort you. So why not gift your kids a family recipe book when they are starting a new life?

【答案】例文
The beauty in life
The world is full of beauty as long as we have a pair of eyes to find it out. Maybe a small plant on the roadside can be the most beautiful scenery for its special meaning.
It was a cloudy day and I was on my way to school sadly because I had difficulty in spoken English. Suddenly a small sunflower on the road caught my eyes. It looked tiny and weak but it was trying to grow taller and stronger. There wasn’t even much soil and I couldn’t imagine how the seed could grow in the rubble. However, it succeeded in growing up no matter how the wind blew or the sun shone. At that time, I realized that it was its persistent efforts that helped it be seen and praised by people.
As the old saying goes, perseverance pays off. I believe if I stick to practicing speaking English every morning, I will finally achieve my goal.

Harry and Annie lived a mile from town, but they walked there to school every day. It was a pleasant walk around the pond on their way to school. In winter, when the ice was thick and firm (坚固的), they went across the pond. But their mother did not like them to do this unless someone was with them.
“Don’t go across the pond today, children,” she said, as she kissed them goodbye one morning. “It is beginning to thaw.”
“All right, mother,” said Harry, not very happy, for he was very fond of running and sliding on the ice.
When they came to the pond, the ice looked hard and safe.
“There,” Harry said to his sister, “let’s slide over it.”
“But you promised mother,” said Annie. “No, I didn’t, I only said ‘All right’, and it is all right.”
“I didn’t say anything, so I can do as I like.” said Annie.
So they stepped on the ice and started to go across the pond.
They had not gone far before the ice gave way, and suddenly they fell into the water.

As a kind of traditional Chinese dress, Ma Mian Qun (horse face skirt) first appeared in the Song Dynasty and grew popular during the Ming Dynasty. The two sides of Ma Mian Qun are pleated (起褶的), and there is a smooth part in the middle, commonly known as “Ma Mian”.
Why is it called “Ma Mian”? In fact, “Ma Mian” is a kind of structure used for protection in the city wall system.

“I realized I couldn’t go home every weekend for my mom’s delicious dishes,” says Shreya, who is about to enter university. Shreya has recently started following her mother around the kitchen, taking notes on how to make her “masala chai” and tasty kachoris.
“Those special tastes can immediately unlock a whole flood of emotions, memories and feelings of family, love, and comfort,” says she.
She adds, “I am looking to the day when my kids will come to know of their grandmothers through the dishes they cooked.”
But many of us find it difficult to keep the food connection with our busy life. Even if we have time, not many of us take the effort to collect and record the recipes from our grandmothers and parents. We often get a recipe on the phone and take it down quickly on a piece of paper. We just stick it onto the fridge for a week or two and forget about it as soon as the paper disappears from there.
Actually, there are simple ways to keep family recipes, Scrapbooks (剪贴薄) are easily found in the market. You can even add photos to record every detail of your memories about the recipe. With the help of some popular apps like Story Scans, recording family recipes has never been easier. What is needed is to scan the recipes and record the story behind each of them. It can become the most meaningful work you have ever done with and for your family.
Keeping family recipes is saving and honoring our tradition so that future generations can continue to make family ties stronger. Every time you remember your loved ones, recreate one of the dishes from your collection and let the memories from the good old days comfort you. So why not gift your kids a family recipe book when they are starting a new life?
12. Why does Shreya follow her mother around the kitchen?
A. To clean up the kitchen. B. To note down recipes.
C. To prepare family dinners. D. To talk about family rules.
13. Which question could best help us find out the writer’s purpose?
A. Did the writer make us practise cooking?
B. Did the writer tell us how to cook well?
C. Did the writer want us to keep family recipes?
D. Did the writer teach us how to choose a gift for kids?

C. Recipes have become popular with kids. D. People often buy recipe books in the market.
