I dropped another pecan (山核桃) into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Whew! Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full. I was visiting my grandpa’s farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn’t about to let him down. Then something caught my eye: a squirrel picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hollow (洞) of the tree. Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all of the pecans I’d collected. “Look, Grandpa,” I shouted, “look at all of the pecans I found!” Grandpa took a look at my basket. “Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy?” I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated me on finding out something about the squirrel’s habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders. “That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?” “I didn’t think about that,” I said. “I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work, even the squirrel’s.” Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree.

No matter what is done, the idea is to remind us of the importance of animals and to show us how we could improve our relationship with animals. If you want to take part, you could help an animal or organize a money-raising event for a local charity. The important thing is just taking an active part. We should offer animals as much as they offer us. Animals are important in our lives. They offer us ___46___, friendship, help and a sense of the wonder of the natural world.

The boy, Wang Fa, 14, is a member of the Va (佤族) from Yunnan. After he won the under-14-title(十四岁以下男单冠军）at the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour in Guangzhou, an audience (观众) from Yunnan gave him the bamboo basket as a gift and the photo was taken. “We always carry bamboo baskets when we work in the field. This is a typical(有代表性的）farming tool of the Va. I carried my rackets in this basket to honor my hometown.” Wang said. Before playing tennis, Wang was just a village boy. But in 2016, he was chosen by a local club as a professional tennis player. “I was nervous at the beginning because the outside world was so different from my home. Tennis has helped me make more friends and get a better education.” he said. Over the past six years, Wang has trained hard to improve his skills at the Yunnan Wild Elephants Tennis Club. He would get up at 6:30 a. m. and practice for more than six hours a day. He needed to swing a racket (挥拍) more than 7,000 times and run 9 kilometers every day. “If it were not for tennis, I would still be helping my family with farm work at home.” Wang said. Wang’s parents didn’t want him to learn tennis at first because they couldn’t afford it. Luckily, the tennis club offered to teach him for free. For Wang, winning the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour title was the beginning of the future with hope, “I will try my best to get to the top on the professional stage.” he said. 26.

I dropped another pecan (山核桃) into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Whew! Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full. I was visiting my grandpa’s farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn’t about to let him down. Then something caught my eye: a squirrel picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hollow (洞) of the tree. Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all of the pecans I’d collected. “Look, Grandpa,” I shouted, “look at all of the pecans I found!” Grandpa took a look at my basket. “Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy?” I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated me on finding out something about the squirrel’s habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders. “That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?” “I didn’t think about that,” I said. “I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work, even the squirrel’s.” Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree. The image (形象) of that hungry squirrel wouldn’t leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do. … 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 36. Why did the writer go to the woods at the beginning of the story? A.

It made us pay attention to the problem of endangered animals around the world. It is now celebrated in most countries around the world. The day falls on October 4th every year. All over the world on this day, volunteers raise money for animal centers and social organizations. Museums and zoos organize special events. Schools have also joined animal projects. No matter what is done, the idea is to remind us of the importance of animals and to show us how we could improve our relationship with animals. If you want to take part, you could help an animal or organize a money-raising event for a local charity. The important thing is just taking an active part. We should offer animals as much as they offer us. Animals are important in our lives. They offer us ___46___, friendship, help and a sense of the wonder of the natural world.
