For some of us, going to the dentist for routine check-ups is a thing of the ordinary. But for many people around the world, especially those in impoverished (贫困的) areas, having dental improvement and their teeth checked simply isn’t possible. A Brazilian dentist Felipe Rossi has devoted himself to helping changing that situation.
Growing up in USA, Felipe Rossi had just obtained the Bachelor of Medicine Degree and was about to start a master’s degree in Pediatric Dentistry (儿童口腔学) when a journey to his father’s home — Balsabo in Brazil — converted his initial plan. “All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.”
With the support of his parents, Felipe formed an NGO (non-government organization) called Porsorriso to give free oral treatments to individuals with low incomes who require cleaning. fillings, crowns, restoration work and more. His team is composed of approximately 30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil.
Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the ‘Smile Solidarity’ program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country.
As noble as its objective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is “struggling to survive” because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. “Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals. We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will.

You’ve most likely heard the news by now: A car-commuting, desk-bound, TV-watching lifestyle can be harmful to our health. All the time that we spend rooted in the chair is linked to increased risks of so many deadly diseases that experts have named this modern-day health epidemic the “sitting disease”.
Sitting for too long slows down the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢)and the way enzymes break down our fat reserves, raising both blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Small amounts of regular activity, even just standing and moving around, throughout the day is enough to bring the increased levels back down. And those small amounts of activity add up — 30 minutes of light activity in two or three-minute bursts can be just as effective as a half-hour block of exercise. But without that activity, blood sugar levels and blood pressure keep creeping up, steadily damaging the inside of the arteries (动脉) and increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and other serious diseases. In essence, fundamental changes in biology occur if you sit for too long.
But wait, you’re a runner. You needn’t worry about the harm of a sedentary lifestyle because you exercise regularly, right? Well, not so fast. Recent studies show that people spend an average of 64 hours a week sitting, whether or not they exercise 150 minutes a week as recommended by World Health Organization(WHO). Regular exercisers, furthermore, are found to be about 30 percent less active on days when they exercise. Overall, most people simply aren’t exercising or moving around enough to balance out all the harm that can result from sitting nine hours or more a day.
Scared straight out of your chair? Good. The remedy is as simple as standing up and taking activity breaks.
8. Which is the best way to bring down high blood sugar level and blood pressure?
A. Doing exercise for 150 minutes or more every week.
B. Getting rid of the habit of car commuting and TV watching.
C. Standing or moving around for at least two minutes every day.
D. Interrupting sitting time with light activity as often as possible.
9. What does the word “sedentary” in the third paragraph most likely mean?
A. Inactive. B. Risky. C. Overloaded. D. Unbalanced.
10. Which of the following may be inferred about those who do serious exercise?
A. They always meet the exercise standard recommended by WHO.
B. They tend to stand or move less on the days when they work out.
C. They usually remove all the harmful effects of sitting for too long.
D. They generally spend less time sitting than those who do not exercise.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The challenges of the modern lifestyle.
B. The effect of regular activity on our body.
C. The reasons for the spread of a modern epidemic.
D. The threat to our health from long hours of sitting.
D
The ban on cigarette advertising in the early 1970s in the United States serves as a fascinating case study in the field of public health campaigns and their unintended consequences. Despite the government’s intention to discourage smoking and reduce related health risks, the ban led to an unexpected outcome: an increase in cigarette sales for the major tobacco companies.
The reason for this unexpected outcome can be traced to the principles of game theory particularly the prisoner’s dilemma paradox (悖论). Just as in the prisoner’s dilemma, where cooperation leads to the best outcome for both parties, the tobacco companies would benefit collectively if none of them advertised. This action would create fairness in competition, ensuring that no individual company gains an edge by advertising.
However, the dilemma arises when considering the potential actions of competitors. If one tobacco company decides to ignore the ban and advertise its products, it stands to gain a significant market share and increased sales compared to its non-advertising competitors. This creates a situation where each company faces the urge to advertise, fearing that their competitors may do the same and leave them at a disadvantage.
In the end, most tobacco companies decided to play it safe and invested in advertising, despite the ban, to avoid being left behind in the competitive landscape. This strategic decision reflects the uncertainty and strategic considerations that shape business decisions, even in the face of regulations aimed at public health goals.
This application of game theory provides valuable insight into the complexities of influencing human behavior through policy interventions. While well-intended efforts such as advertising bans may seem straightforward in theory, the realities of strategic decision-making and competitive dynamics often lead to unforeseen outcomes. As such, understanding the complexities of game theory can provide valuable insight for policymakers seeking to design more effective interventions and address complex societal challenges.
12. What is a direct result of the ban in the 1970s?
A. Cut in tax income. B. Reduction in health risks.
C. Rise in tobacco sales. D. Cooperation of companies.
13. How can all competitors benefit in the prisoner’s dilemma?
A. They fully trust each other and follow the regulations.
B. They act independently and pursue their own interests.
C. They increase their market share at the expense of others.
D. They ignore competition and focus on their own strategies.
14. Why do most tobacco companies finally choose to advertise?
A. To avoid intense competition. B. To gain a competitive advantage.
C. To shape better business images. D. To achieve public health goals.
15. What can be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. A Good Intention Fails B. A Ban on Cigarette Advertising Ends in Smoke
C. A Ban Boosts Public Health D. A Dilemma Concerns Cigarette Campaign

How to Stop Being a People Pleaser

When things went wrong, Ittleby Fein always had something nice to say.
When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned, Ittleby comforted him by saying it would still taste good. And he was right. The pizza edges were dark and crispy, but the middle wasn’t half bad. When Ittleby’s friend David got a low score on the spelling test, Ittleby said that he would do better next time. And, sure enough, David studied hard and got 100 percent the next week. When his teacher, Mr D, bumped into a bookstand in the library, Ittleby told him not to worry as Mrs Bog wouldn’t be upset. He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books.
Ittleby looked on the bright side. And everyone liked that about him. Everyone, that is, except Hazel. Hazel was the new kid in the class. On her first day, Ittleby said, “Nice to meet you, Hazel. I think you’ll like it here.” Hazel stared at him. “I doubt it.” Ittleby didn’t know what to do. He’d never met anyone like Hazel.
When Mr D said they’d have recess inside because of the rain, Ittleby said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” “A silver lining?” Hazel shook her head. “Clouds are white. Maybe gray. Where do you get this stuff?” Ittleby felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him. Outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt darker.
“Bad things come in threes,” said Hazel. No outdoor recess is number one. What will the second thing be? The class didn’t have to wait long to find out.
Greta was carrying a tray of paints during art class. She tripped, and the paint went flying. There was blue on the floor and red and black on the walls. Hazel declared it to be the second bad thing. Ittleby didn’t know what to say. Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things.
Emma came to look at Ittleby’s painting. “It’s beautiful. I especially like the grassland.” She said.
注意:
1、续写词数应为150左右;
2、请按如下格式作答。
She picked it up, not realizing she had paint on her fingers.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Want to add one?” Ittleby asked Hazel.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了巴西牙医Felipe Rossi创建了非政府组织Porsorriso,致力于为贫困地区的低收入人群提供免费的口腔治疗服务。尽管面临资金和运营挑战,Rossi及其团队仍坚持帮助需要的人,传递健康微笑,增强当地民众的自信。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For some of us, going to the dentist for routine check-ups is a thing of the ordinary. But for many people around the world, especially those in impoverished (贫困的) areas, having dental improvement and their teeth checked simply isn’t possible. A Brazilian dentist Felipe Rossi has devoted himself to helping changing that situation.(对我们中的一些人来说,去牙医那里做例行检查是一件很平常的事情。但对世界上许多人来说,尤其是那些生活在贫困地区的人来说,改善牙齿和检查牙齿根本是不可能的。巴西牙医费利佩·罗西致力于帮助改变这种状况)”可知,文章开头通过对比一些人定期去牙医处进行常规检查,而世界上很多人尤其是贫困地区的人们无法进行牙科治疗和牙齿检查的情况,引出了文章的主题,即巴西牙医Felip e Rossi致力于帮助改变这种情况。因此,作者通过提出对比来引入文章的主题。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.”(‘并不是所有的当地人都能得到牙科护理,因此,很多人的牙齿都变形了,甚至掉了牙,导致很多人不敢张嘴笑。’Felipe Rossi回忆道。‘一种渴望在我心中扎根。也就是说,用我的技能给患有牙病的人带来健康的微笑。’)”可知,Felipe Rossi在巴西的Balsabo地区看到当地人没有机会接受牙科治疗,很多人因此牙齿变形或甚至失去牙齿,这激发了他提供牙科治疗的决心;由此可知,是当地人缺乏牙科护理的情况促使Felipe为巴西人提供牙科治疗。故选C项。

We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will.(尽管目标崇高,Felipe承认Porsorriso正在‘挣扎着生存’,因为提供牙科治疗的巨大成本和他们必须举行的持续筹款活动以保持非政府组织的正常运作。‘虽然这很有挑战性,但它确实给当地人带来了健康的牙齿,并重新树立了信心。无论我们面临什么困难,我们都将继续这一变革行动。’斐利贝带着强烈的意志说)”可知,他承认Porsorriso的生存很困难,但他们将继续进行这项改变性的行动,无论他们将面临什么困难,这表明他具有奉献精神。故选D项。

细节理解题。根据第四段“Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies.

You’ve most likely heard the news by now: A car-commuting, desk-bound, TV-watching lifestyle can be harmful to our health. All the time that we spend rooted in the chair is linked to increased risks of so many deadly diseases that experts have named this modern-day health epidemic the “sitting disease”.
Sitting for too long slows down the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢)and the way enzymes break down our fat reserves, raising both blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Small amounts of regular activity, even just standing and moving around, throughout the day is enough to bring the increased levels back down. And those small amounts of activity add up — 30 minutes of light activity in two or three-minute bursts can be just as effective as a half-hour block of exercise. But without that activity, blood sugar levels and blood pressure keep creeping up, steadily damaging the inside of the arteries (动脉) and increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and other serious diseases. In essence, fundamental changes in biology occur if you sit for too long.
But wait, you’re a runner. You needn’t worry about the harm of a sedentary lifestyle because you exercise regularly, right? Well, not so fast. Recent studies show that people spend an average of 64 hours a week sitting, whether or not they exercise 150 minutes a week as recommended by World Health Organization(WHO). Regular exercisers, furthermore, are found to be about 30 percent less active on days when they exercise. Overall, most people simply aren’t exercising or moving around enough to balance out all the harm that can result from sitting nine hours or more a day.
Scared straight out of your chair? Good. The remedy is as simple as standing up and taking activity breaks.
8. Which is the best way to bring down high blood sugar level and blood pressure?
A. Doing exercise for 150 minutes or more every week.
B. Getting rid of the habit of car commuting and TV watching.
C. Standing or moving around for at least two minutes every day.
D. Interrupting sitting time with light activity as often as possible.
9. What does the word “sedentary” in the third paragraph most likely mean?
A. Inactive. B. Risky. C. Overloaded. D. Unbalanced.
10. Which of the following may be inferred about those who do serious exercise?
A. They always meet the exercise standard recommended by WHO.
B. They tend to stand or move less on the days when they work out.
C. They usually remove all the harmful effects of sitting for too long.
D. They generally spend less time sitting than those who do not exercise.
11. What is the passage mainly, about?
A. The challenges of the modern lifestyle.
B. The effect of regular activity on our body.
C. The reasons for the spread of a modern epidemic.
D. The threat to our health from long hours of sitting.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了久坐对我们健康的威胁。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Sitting for too long slows down the body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) and the way enzymes break down our fat reserves, raising both blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Small amounts of regular activity, even just standing and moving around, throughout the day is enough to bring the increased levels back down. (久坐会减缓身体的新陈代谢和酶分解脂肪储备的方式,提高血糖水平和血压。少量的有规律的活动,即使只是站着走动,也足以将增加的水平降下来)”可知,降低高血糖和高血压的最好方法是尽可能多地用轻松的活动来打断坐着的时间。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“But wait, you’re a runner. You needn’t worry about the harm of a sedentary lifestyle because you exercise regularly, right? (但是等等,你是一个跑步者。你就不必担心sedentary生活方式的危害,因为你经常锻炼,对吗?)”可知,sedentary lifestyle与exercise regularly是两种不同的生活方式,结合本文主题和选项可知,划线词sedentary的意思是“不活跃的”,与inactive同义。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Regular exercisers, furthermore, are found to be about 30 percent less active on days when they exercise. (此外,研究发现,经常锻炼的人在锻炼时的活跃程度要低30%左右)”可知,认真锻炼的人在锻炼的日子里往往站立或活动得更少。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“You’ve most likely heard the news by now: A car-commuting, desk-bound, TV-watching lifestyle can be harmful to our health. All the time that we spend rooted in the chair is linked to increased risks of so many deadly diseases that experts have named this modern-day health epidemic the “sitting disease”. (你很可能已经听说过这样的新闻:开车上下班、坐在办公桌前、看电视的生活方式对我们的健康有害。我们长时间坐在椅子上,与许多致命疾病的患病风险增加有关,以至于专家将这种现代健康流行病称为“久坐病”)”可知,这篇文章主要介绍了久坐对我们健康的威胁。故选D项。
D
The ban on cigarette advertising in the early 1970s in the United States serves as a fascinating case study in the field of public health campaigns and their unintended consequences. Despite the government’s intention to discourage smoking and reduce related health risks, the ban led to an unexpected outcome: an increase in cigarette sales for the major tobacco companies.
The reason for this unexpected outcome can be traced to the principles of game theory, particularly the prisoner’s dilemma paradox (悖论). Just as in the prisoner’s dilemma, where cooperation leads to the best outcome for both parties, the tobacco companies would benefit collectively if none of them advertised. This action would create fairness in competition, ensuring that no individual company gains an edge by advertising.
However, the dilemma arises when considering the potential actions of competitors. If one tobacco company decides to ignore the ban and advertise its products, it stands to gain a significant market share and increased sales compared to its non-advertising competitors. This creates a situation where each company faces the urge to advertise, fearing that their competitors may do the same and leave them at a disadvantage.
In the end, most tobacco companies decided to play it safe and invested in advertising, despite the ban, to avoid being left behind in the competitive landscape. This strategic decision reflects the uncertainty and strategic considerations that shape business decisions, even in the face of regulations aimed at public health goals.
This application of game theory provides valuable insight into the complexities of influencing human behavior through policy interventions. While well-intended efforts such as advertising bans may seem straightforward in theory, the realities of strategic decision-making and competitive dynamics often lead to unforeseen outcomes. As such, understanding the complexities of game theory can provide valuable insight for policymakers seeking to design more effective interventions and address complex societal challenges.
12. What is a direct result of the ban in the 1970s?
A. Cut in tax income. B. Reduction in health risks.
C. Rise in tobacco sales. D. Cooperation of companies.
13. How can all competitors benefit in the prisoner’s dilemma?
A. They fully trust each other and follow the regulations.
B. They act independently and pursue their own interests.
C. They increase their market share at the expense of others.
D. They ignore competition and focus on their own strategies.
14. Why do most tobacco companies finally choose to advertise?
A. To avoid intense competition. B. To gain a competitive advantage.
C. To shape better business images. D. To achieve public health goals.
15. What can be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. A Good Intention Fails B. A Ban on Cigarette Advertising Ends in Smoke
C. A Ban Boosts Public Health D. A Dilemma Concerns Cigarette Campaign
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了20世纪70年代初美国禁止香烟广告案例,指出禁令意外导致烟草销量增加。文章用博弈论的囚徒困境悖论解释原因,反映了政策干预的复杂性,提示政策制定者需深入理解博弈论。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Despite the government’s intention to discourage smoking and reduce related health risks, the ban led to an unexpected outcome: an increase in cigarette sales for the major tobacco companies. (尽管政府的意图是劝阻吸烟,减少相关的健康风险,但禁令导致了一个意想不到的结果:主要烟草公司的卷烟销量增加)”可知,20世纪70年代禁令的直接后果是烟草销售增加。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Just as in the prisoner’s dilemma, where cooperation leads to the best outcome for both parties, the tobacco companies would benefit collectively if none of them advertised. (正如在囚徒困境中,合作会给双方带来最好的结果一样,如果烟草公司都不做广告,它们将共同受益。)”可知,在囚徒困境中,如果竞争对手相互信任并遵守规则,则对所有竞争对手都有利。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“If one tobacco company decides to ignore the ban and advertise its products, it stands to gain a significant market share and increased sales compared to its non-advertising competitors..(如果一家烟草公司决定无视禁令并为其产品做广告,那么与不做广告的竞争对手相比,它将获得显著的市场份额并增加销售额)”可知,大多数烟草公司最终选择做广告是为了获得竞争优势。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The ban on cigarette advertising in the early 1970s in the United States serves as a fascinating case study in the field of public health campaigns and their unintended consequences. Despite the government’s intention to discourage smoking and reduce related health risks, the ban led to an unexpected outcome: an increase in cigarette sales for the major tobacco companies. ( 20世纪70年代初,美国对香烟广告的禁令是公共卫生运动及其意外后果领域的一个引人入胜的研究案例。尽管政府的意图是劝阻吸烟,减少相关的健康风险,但禁令导致了一个意想不到的结果:主要烟草公司的卷烟销量增加。)”和第四段中“In the end, most tobacco companies decided to play it safe and invested in advertising, despite the ban, to avoid being left behind in the competitive landscape. (最后,大多数烟草公司决定谨慎行事,不顾禁令,投资广告,以避免在竞争格局中落后。)”以及通读全文可知,文章讲述了20世纪70年代禁令的直接后果是部分烟草公司销售增加,最终大多数烟草公司陷入“囚徒困境”,决定不顾禁令,投资广告,以避免在竞争格局中落后。香烟广告的禁令最后化为云烟。故B选项“A Ban on Cigarette Advertising Ends in Smoke (禁令化作云烟)”是文章最佳标题。故选B。

As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy. Breaking this habit meant stepping on a few toes. However, I’ve become a happier person as a result. Here are some tips I used to stop being a people pleaser.
Identify your priorities. Take a moment to think about why you are trying to learn how to stop being a people pleaser. Who are the people that you feel the need to please? ____16____ Answering these questions will help you set a goal that you can hold yourself accountable to.
Just say “no”. One reason why people pleasers say “yes” to everything is that they fear disappointing others. ____17____ If you are a people pleaser, you are likely to spend lots of energy trying to control how people feel about you. The best thing you can do is let them feel their feelings. It will feel liberating to free yourself from being responsible for someone else's reaction.
____18____ Saying “no” is a good way to set better boundaries in your important relationships. All healthy relationships have their own boundaries. If you haven’t set boundaries in your relationships, the odds are that at some point you will end up feeling pressured to do something you don’t want to do.
Accept yourself. Many people pleasers are insecure about who they are. ____19____ Check out our summary of Brené Brown’s the Gifts of Imperfection to learn how to accept your imperfections and love yourself.

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 things went wrong, Ittleby Fein always had something nice to say.
When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned, Ittleby comforted him by saying it would still taste good. And he was right. The pizza edges were dark and crispy, but the middle wasn’t half bad. When Ittleby’s friend David got a low score on the spelling test, Ittleby said that he would do better next time. And, sure enough, David studied hard and got 100 percent the next week. When his teacher, Mr D, bumped into a bookstand in the library, Ittleby told him not to worry as Mrs Bog wouldn’t be upset. He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books.
Ittleby looked on the bright side. And everyone liked that about him. Everyone, that is, except Hazel. Hazel was the new kid in the class. On her first day, Ittleby said, “Nice to meet you, Hazel. I think you’ll like it here.” Hazel stared at him. “I doubt it.” Ittleby didn’t know what to do. He’d never met anyone like Hazel.
When Mr D said they’d have recess inside because of the rain, Ittleby said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” “A silver lining?” Hazel shook her head. “Clouds are white. Maybe gray. Where do you get this stuff?” Ittleby felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him. Outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt darker.
“Bad things come in threes,” said Hazel. No outdoor recess is number one. What will the second thing be? The class didn’t have to wait long to find out.
Greta was carrying a tray of paints during art class. She tripped, and the paint went flying. There was blue on the floor and red and black on the walls. Hazel declared it to be the second bad thing. Ittleby didn’t know what to say. Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things.
Emma came to look at Ittleby’s painting. “It’s beautiful. I especially like the grassland.” She said.
注意:
1、续写词数应为150左右;

【答案】One possible version
She picked it up, not realizing she had paint on her fingers. The fingerprint lay quietly on the painting, seeming to support Hazel’s Rule of Three Bad Things. Hazel pointed, “Ittleby’s picture is messed up! There’s number three.” Upset, Emma apologized to Ittleby with her face blushing with shame. Ittleby comforted her with a pat on the shoulder and stared at the print for a while. Suddenly, with his eyes lit up, he dipped his finger into the yellow paint and added two more prints onto the painting. Now, together with Emma’s, they looked like three colorful butterflies flying above the green grassland.
“Want to add one?” Ittleby asked Hazel. Hazel thought about it. “It will be fun.” Ittleby encouraged her. “How strange!”, thought Hazel, hesitantly dipped her finger into the print. Gently pressing it onto Ittleby’s painting, she carefully added wings. “It looks great,” said Ittleby. Outside, the sky happened to clear up, casting golden bright light on the field of butterflies. Looking into each other’s eyes, Hazel and Ittleby laughed together merrily. Ittleby said to Hazel, “Forget your Rule of Three Bad Things. Although bad things happen, good things happen, too. And sometimes, there were good things hiding where they didn’t expect them.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Ittleby总能说些好听的话,他看到了光明的一面,每个人都喜欢他这一点,除了Hazel。Hazel似乎对三件坏事的规则深信不疑。这天美术课Emma来看Ittleby的画,结果颜料弄到了画上,而Ittleby通过自己的智慧顺利化解了这一情况。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“她捡了起来,没有意识到手指上有颜料。”可知,第一段可描写Emma把颜料弄到画上,Hazel说这是第三件坏事。
②由第二段首句内容“‘想再加一个吗?’Ittleby问Hazel。”可知,第二段可描写Ittleby告诉Hazel虽然坏事时有发生,但好事也会发生。有时候,好东西就藏在他们意想不到的地方。
2.续写线索:颜料毁画——印证Hazel的理论——Ittleby想到办法——邀请Hazel作画——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
思考:think about/ reflect on
和……一起:together with /along with
预料:expect /anticipate
情绪类
沮丧:upset /discouraged
小心:carefully / with caution
【点睛】[高分句型1] The fingerprint lay quietly on the painting, seeming to support Hazel’s Rule of Three Bad Things. (运用了现在分词作状语)
[高分句型2] Although bad things happen, good things happen, too. (运用了although引导让步状语从句)
