You can’t always lie down in bed and sleep.

It even has a battery backup in case of a power failure.

What is happiness? Gopnik’s new book All That Happiness Is provides an answer. It suggests that happiness is the pursuit of something meaningful.
What that pursuit requires, and how we know if we might have arrived at the desired destination are the meat of the book, with Gopnik sharing a personal moment of great happiness, when he locked himself in his teenage bedroom with a guitar and pursued the knowledge of a handful of rock ‘n’ roll from the Beatles songbook.
Gopnik declares that 50 years on he is “not much better” at the guitar than he was at the end of that first week. However, the period of self-study, during which he discovered some measure of the Beatles’ magic for himself, became the foundation of almost every accomplishment in his life since.
Gopnik draws a distinction between “accomplishment” and “achievement”, stating that accomplishment is rooted in an internal sense of having done something interesting and worthwhile, while achievement is rooted in external reward, having fulfilled the demands coming from an outside force.
I can’t help but think that today’s schools focus more on achievement than on accomplishment, which obviously does harm to our pursuit of happiness. Students must consistently achieve without the accompanying satisfaction of accomplishment.
All That Happiness Is calls for respecting the necessity and benefits of experiencing a sense of accomplishment. Once that sense is achieved, the work required for external achievements comes more naturally.
Ultimately, to be happy, you have to center on what truly fulfills you. I can prove it. Even after a dozen years, I still get a kick out of the choice of writing a column in my hometown newspaper, from which I gained a sense of achievement.
It took me maybe 20 minutes to read All That Happiness Is, not much of an achievement; but the full worth of a book isn’t in how long it took to read it, but in how long it continues to exist in our lives. In this case, Gopnik has accomplished much.
4. What does Gopnik’s experience of learning the guitar mean to him?
A. It has given him a taste for the guitar. B. It has guided him to do something meaningful.
C. It has helped him make a lifelong career. D. It has taught him to learn all by himself.
5. How does achievement differ from accomplishment according to Gopnik?
A. Accomplishment comes from inside.
B. Accomplishment is easy to get.
C. Achievement has greater influence than accomplishment.
D. Achievement brings people more joy than accomplishment.
6. What is the author’s attitude toward today’s schools?
A. Unclear. B. Uncaring. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
7. What does the underlined part “get a kick out of” in paragraph 7 mean?
A Feel regretful for. B. Gain pleasure from.
C. Get attracted by. D. Become nervous about.
C
Most of us use too much laundry detergent (洗涤剂), which can present all kinds of problems. Whatever amount of detergent you use, it must be completely rinsed (漂洗) away.
There are so many variables. Generally, for a standard-size washing machine in areas with soft water, use 1 tablespoon of high-efficiency detergent per wash load. If you have hard water, use 2 tablespoons.
Then there comes the question “How do I know if my water is hard or soft?” Call your water company or go to its website to learn about the grains of hardness per liter in your local water supply. If the water quality is a little bit hard and you want precise control, use 1.5 tablespoons of high-efficiency detergent per load.
Another important variable is the machine capacity. If it’s a super-size machine, you need to adjust the amount of detergent accordingly. Check the instructions for guidance. Also, you may need to use more or less detergent if you’re running a heavily soiled load or a very small load.
Above all, the most important thing to consider when it comes to laundry detergent is whether or not the detergent gets completely rinsed away before that load of laundry is finished.
The next time you do a load of wash, take a washcloth out of the dryer when it is finished and put it in a warm dish of water. If the water remains clean, it means you have not used too much detergent. If the water turns even slightly cloudy, it means all the detergent has not been removed and you’re using too much detergent.
Finding the exact amount of laundry detergent you need based on the hardness of your water, the size of your washing machine and the size of the laundry load may take experimentation. But once you discover what’s right for you — and you are getting all that detergent out of the clothes, too — you’re going to be pleasantly surprised by the fantastic results.
8. How can one know the hardness of water in his area?
A. By counting the grains in the water. B. By checking the water color.
C. By communicating with neighbors. D. By consulting the water company.
9. What is the purpose of using a washcloth according to paragraph 6?
A. To see whether the dryer works well.
B. To show how to determine the load properly.
C. To judge whether the laundry detergent is totally rinsed away.
D. To prove water hardness influences how much water is used.
10. What conclusion can be drawn about laundry detergent?
A. The more, the cleaner. B. More isn’t necessarily better.
C. The users have the final say. D. Quality is more important than quantity.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Science of Laundry Detergent
B. The Impact of Laundry Detergent on the Environment
C. How to Figure Out the Right Amount of Laundry Detergent
D. What to Take into Consideration When Choosing a Washing Machine
D
Think about the illegal screen (掩护) that was called against UConn in the last seconds of the NCAA women’s semifinal game. But remember to approach it without an unreasonable dislike of or preference for the team, gender considerations, or the overall skill level of the players involved. American basketball fans have come to believe that at the end of close games, we should “let the players decide the outcome”.
Do the referees (裁判) actually stop themselves from blowing their whistles at the end of close games, or is it all just a misconception? While I would like to believe that it is a misconception, during my 31 years of coaching high school basketball, I have met quite a few game officials who practice that philosophy. To “let the players decide the outcome” means that the game won’t be called as strictly as it is during other parts of the match. Is that really what we want? I have a very close knowledge of NFHS basketball rules, and have read NCAA basketball regulations. But I have never seen any reference to calling the game differently in the closing seconds of a tight contest. Oftentimes, the game ends with the result that would happen no matter what. But if not, who gets punished? Most often, it’s the team that continues to play within the rules.
We need to abandon the belief that we should “let the players decide the outcome”. A foul (犯规) should be recognized as a foul no matter what time in the game it occurs — the first minute, the middle of the third quarter, or the final 10 seconds of a close game. But again, it’s up to the referees to make sure that happens.
Officials are human, and they sometimes miss a call, such as a close contact that could be interpreted as a block or a charge. We have to remove the idea that what is a foul committed in the third quarter is not a foul in the last 10 seconds of a close game. And we coaches and spectators have to accept and expect that!
12. Why is the scene in a basketball game described in paragraph 1?
A. To lead in the topic. B. To add background information.
C. To honor the competitive players. D. To stress the importance of referees.
13. What is the common misconception among basketball fans?
A. Referees have preferences for certain teams.
B. Referees stop using their whistles in close games.
C. The team playing within the rules will be the winner.
D. The coaches have too much influence on the officials’ decisions.
14. The author mentions his experience as a high school basketball coach to ______.
A. prove his expertise in basketball rules
B. illustrate the popularity of a certain referee philosophy
C. criticize the poor performance of officials in high school games
D. show how difficult it is to coach a high school basketball team
15. What is the author’s suggestion for improving the fairness of basketball games?
A. Increasing the number of officials.
B. Allowing coaches to challenge referees’ decisions.
C. Observing the rules consistently throughout the game.
D Carrying out stricter punishment for fouls in close games.

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。
I flew through the back door, excitedly announcing to my mom, “Mom, I’ve been nominated (提名) for the National Junior Honor Society!” My mother smiled with pride and replied, “I’m so proud of you, honey.”
Together in the family room, I began filling out the application for the Honor Society. It required proof of possessing all the necessary candidate characteristics. The following day, I submitted the paperwork to my advisor and didn’t give it much further thought.
Months passed, and one afternoon, as soon as I stepped off the bus, I rushed home with a letter from the school regarding the Honor Society. “Mom,” I said, handing her the letter with tears welling up in my eyes, “I didn’t make it. They didn’t choose me.” My mother hugged me and said, “Oh, honey, I’m sorry. There must have been some kind of mistake.”
That night at dinner, I said sadly, “It’s not fair.” My mother agreed and then shared a story about her high school friend who was intelligent and kind-hearted but never made the National Honor Society. Despite his hurt and anger, he became a world-renowned lung cancer specialist, saving lives every day.
I grasped my mom’s message: not being part of the Honor Society wouldn’t define my future, but it was certainly painful in the moment. However, seeing most of my friends get selected made those weeks especially tough for me. I opened up to my parents about how difficult it was and declared, “This shouldn’t happen to anyone else.” We brainstormed ways to improve the selection process and arranged a meeting with the school principal (校长) to present our ideas.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A few days later, I received a call from the principal.

What is happiness? Gopnik’s new book All That Happiness Is provides an answer. It suggests that happiness is the pursuit of something meaningful.
What that pursuit requires, and how we know if we might have arrived at the desired destination are the meat of the book, with Gopnik sharing a personal moment of great happiness, when he locked himself in his teenage bedroom with a guitar and pursued the knowledge of a handful of rock ‘n’ roll from the Beatles songbook.
Gopnik declares that 50 years on he is “not much better” at the guitar than he was at the end of that first week. However, the period of self-study, during which he discovered some measure of the Beatles’ magic for himself, became the foundation of almost every accomplishment in his life since.
Gopnik draws a distinction between “accomplishment” and “achievement”, stating that accomplishment is rooted in an internal sense of having done something interesting and worthwhile, while achievement is rooted in external reward, having fulfilled the demands coming from an outside force.
I can’t help but think that today’s schools focus more on achievement than on accomplishment, which obviously does harm to our pursuit of happiness. Students must consistently achieve without the accompanying satisfaction of accomplishment.
All That Happiness Is calls for respecting the necessity and benefits of experiencing a sense of accomplishment. Once that sense is achieved, the work required for external achievements comes more naturally.
Ultimately, to be happy, you have to center on what truly fulfills you. I can prove it. Even after a dozen years, I still get a kick out of the choice of writing a column in my hometown newspaper, from which I gained a sense of achievement.
It took me maybe 20 minutes to read All That Happiness Is, not much of an achievement; but the full worth of a book isn’t in how long it took to read it, but in how long it continues to exist in our lives. In this case, Gopnik has accomplished much.
4. What does Gopnik’s experience of learning the guitar mean to him?
A. It has given him a taste for the guitar. B. It has guided him to do something meaningful.
C. It has helped him make a lifelong career. D. It has taught him to learn all by himself.
5. How does achievement differ from accomplishment according to Gopnik?
A. Accomplishment comes from inside.
B. Accomplishment is easy to get.
C. Achievement has greater influence than accomplishment.
D. Achievement brings people more joy than accomplishment.
6. What is the author’s attitude toward today’s schools?
A. Unclear. B. Uncaring. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
7. What does the underlined part “get a kick out of” in paragraph 7 mean?
A. Feel regretful for. B. Gain pleasure from.
C. Get attracted by. D. Become nervous about.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章以Gopnik的新书All That Happiness Is探讨了什么是幸福。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, the period of self-study, during which he discovered some measure of the Beatles’ magic for himself, became the foundation of almost every accomplishment in his life since.(然而,在自学期间,他为自己发现了披头士的魔力,这成为他一生中几乎所有成就的基础)”可知,Gopnik学习吉他的经历成为他一生中几乎所有成就的基础,即指导他去做出了一些有意义的事情,故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Gopnik draws a distinction between “accomplishment” and “achievement”, stating that accomplishment is rooted in an internal sense of having done something interesting and worthwhile(Gopnik对“成绩”和“成就”进行了区分,他指出,成绩根植于一种内在的感觉,即做了一些有趣和有价值的事情)”可知,“成绩”来源于内在,故选A。

【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语前“Ultimately, to be happy, you have to center on what truly fulfills you.(最终,要想快乐,你必须专注于真正能让你满足的事情)”以及后文“from which I gained a sense of achievement(从中我获得了成就感)”可知,划线短语表示积极的情绪,做能让自己满足的事情应是有乐趣,get a kick out of意为“从中得到乐趣”,故选B。
C
Most of us use too much laundry detergent (洗涤剂), which can present all kinds of problems. Whatever amount of detergent you use, it must be completely rinsed (漂洗) away.
There are so many variables. Generally, for a standard-size washing machine in areas with soft water, use 1 tablespoon of high-efficiency detergent per wash load. If you have hard water, use 2 tablespoons.
Then there comes the question, “How do I know if my water is hard or soft?” Call your water company or go to its website to learn about the grains of hardness per liter in your local water supply. If the water quality is a little bit hard and you want precise control, use 1.5 tablespoons of high-efficiency detergent per load.
Another important variable is the machine capacity. If it’s a super-size machine, you need to adjust the amount of detergent accordingly. Check the instructions for guidance. Also, you may need to use more or less detergent if you’re running a heavily soiled load or a very small load.
Above all, the most important thing to consider when it comes to laundry detergent is whether or not the detergent gets completely rinsed away before that load of laundry is finished.
The next time you do a load of wash take a washcloth out of the dryer when it is finished and put it in a warm dish of water. If the water remains clean, it means you have not used too much detergent. If the water turns even slightly cloudy, it means all the detergent has not been removed and you’re using too much detergent.
Finding the exact amount of laundry detergent you need based on the hardness of your water, the size of your washing machine and the size of the laundry load may take experimentation. But once you discover what’s right for you — and you are getting all that detergent out of the clothes, too — you’re going to be pleasantly surprised by the fantastic results.
8. How can one know the hardness of water in his area?
A. By counting the grains in the water. B. By checking the water color.
C. By communicating with neighbors. D. By consulting the water company.
9. What is the purpose of using a washcloth according to paragraph 6?
A. To see whether the dryer works well.
B. To show how to determine the load properly.
C. To judge whether the laundry detergent is totally rinsed away.
D. To prove water hardness influences how much water is used.
10. What conclusion can be drawn about laundry detergent?
A. The more, the cleaner. B. More isn’t necessarily better.
C. The users have the final say. D. Quality is more important than quantity.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Science of Laundry Detergent
B. The Impact of Laundry Detergent on the Environment
C. How to Figure Out the Right Amount of Laundry Detergent
D. What to Take into Consideration When Choosing a Washing Machine
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了使用过多洗衣液会有问题,阐述了根据水质硬度、洗衣机容量等确定洗衣液用量的方法及检测洗衣液是否漂洗干净的方式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Call your water company or go to its website to learn about the grains of hardness per liter in your local water supply.(打电话给你的供水公司或访问其网站,了解你当地供水每升的硬度颗粒数)”可知,通过咨询供水公司可以知道所在地区水的硬度。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“The next time you do a load of wash, take a washcloth out of the dryer when it is finished and put it in a warm dish of water. If the water remains clean, it means you have not used too much detergent. If the water turns even slightly cloudy, it means all the detergent has not been removed and you’re using too much detergent.(下次你洗衣服时,洗完后从烘干机里拿出一块毛巾,把它放在一盘温水中。如果水保持干净,说明你没有使用过多的洗涤剂。如果水哪怕只是稍微变浑浊,就意味着所有的洗涤剂都没有被去除,你使用的洗涤剂太多了)”可知,使用毛巾的目的是判断洗衣液是否被完全漂洗干净。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Most of us use too much laundry detergent (洗涤剂), which can present all kinds of problems.(我们大多数人使用的洗衣液太多了,这会带来各种各样的问题)”以及全文内容可知,使用过多洗衣液会有问题,所以洗衣液并非越多越好。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“There are so many variables. Generally, for a standard size washing machine in areas with soft water, use 1 tablespoon of high efficiency detergent per wash load. If you have hard water, use 2 tablespoons.(有很多变量。一般来说,对于软水地区的标准尺寸洗衣机,每次洗涤使用1汤匙高效洗涤剂。如果你使用的是硬水,则使用2汤匙)”、第四段“Another important variable is the machine capacity.(另一个重要的变量是洗衣机的容量)”以及最后一段“Finding the exact amount of laundry detergent you need based on the hardness of your water, the size of your washing machine and the size of the laundry load may take experimentation.(根据水的硬度、洗衣机的大小和洗衣量来确定你所需的确切洗衣液用量可能需要进行试验)”等内容可知,文章主要围绕如何确定合适的洗衣液用量展开。故C项“How to Figure Out the Right Amount of Laundry Detergent(如何确定合适的洗衣液用量)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选C项。
D
Think about the illegal screen (掩护) that was called against UConn in the last seconds of the NCAA women’s semifinal game. But remember to approach it without an unreasonable dislike of or preference for the team, gender considerations, or the overall skill level of the players involved. American basketball fans have come to believe that at the end of close games, we should “let the players decide the outcome”.
Do the referees (裁判) actually stop themselves from blowing their whistles at the end of close games, or is it all just a misconception? While I would like to believe that it is a misconception, during my 31 years of coaching high school basketball, I have met quite a few game officials who practice that philosophy. To “let the players decide the outcome” means that the game won’t be called as strictly as it is during other parts of the match. Is that really what we want? I have a very close knowledge of NFHS basketball rules, and have read NCAA basketball regulations. But I have never seen any reference to calling the game differently in the closing seconds of a tight contest. Oftentimes, the game ends with the result that would happen no matter what. But if not, who gets punished? Most often, it’s the team that continues to play within the rules.
We need to abandon the belief that we should “let the players decide the outcome”. A foul (犯规) should be recognized as a foul no matter what time in the game it occurs — the first minute, the middle of the third quarter, or the final 10 seconds of a close game. But again, it’s up to the referees to make sure that happens.
Officials are human, and they sometimes miss a call, such as a close contact that could be interpreted as a block or a charge. We have to remove the idea that what is a foul committed in the third quarter is not a foul in the last 10 seconds of a close game. And we coaches and spectators have to accept and expect that!
12. Why is the scene in a basketball game described in paragraph 1?
A. To lead in the topic. B. To add background information.
C. To honor the competitive players. D. To stress the importance of referees.
13. What is the common misconception among basketball fans?
A. Referees have preferences for certain teams.
B. Referees stop using their whistles in close games.
C. The team playing within the rules will be the winner.
D. The coaches have too much influence on the officials’ decisions.
14. The author mentions his experience as a high school basketball coach to ______.
A. prove his expertise in basketball rules
B. illustrate the popularity of a certain referee philosophy
C. criticize the poor performance of officials in high school games
D. show how difficult it is to coach a high school basketball team
15. What is the author’s suggestion for improving the fairness of basketball games?
A. Increasing the number of officials.
B. Allowing coaches to challenge referees’ decisions.
C Observing the rules consistently throughout the game.
D. Carrying out stricter punishment for fouls in close games.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章围绕篮球比赛中 “让球员决定结果” 这一观念展开,批判该观念,主张比赛全程严格按规则判罚以保公平。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Think about the illegal screen (掩护) that was called against UConn in the last seconds of the NCAA women’s semifinal game. But remember to approach it without an unreasonable dislike of or preference for the team, gender considerations, or the overall skill level of the players involved. American basketball fans have come to believe that at the end of close games, we should ‘let the players decide the outcome’.(想想NCAA女子半决赛最后几秒钟对阵康涅狄格大学的非法屏幕。但请记住,在处理这件事时,不要对球队、性别因素或相关球员的整体技能水平有不合理的厌恶或偏好。美国篮球迷们开始相信,在势均力敌的比赛结束时,我们应该‘让球员决定结果’)”可知,本段描述了 NCAA女子半决赛最后几秒UConn队被吹罚非法掩护的场景,接着引出关于比赛最后时刻裁判是否应 “让球员决定比赛结果” 这一话题。所以描述篮球比赛场景是为了引出话题。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Do the referees actually stop themselves from blowing their whistles at the end of close games, or is it all just a misconception?(裁判们真的会在比分接近的比赛末尾不吹哨子吗,还是这只是一种误解?)”可知,篮球迷们普遍存在的误解是裁判在比分接近的比赛末尾不吹哨子。 故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“While I would like to believe that it is a misconception, during my 31 years of coaching high school basketball, I have met quite a few game officials who practice that philosophy.(虽然我愿意相信这是一种误解,但在我31年的高中篮球执教生涯中,我遇到过不少践行那种理念的比赛官员)”可知,作者提到自己作为高中篮球教练的经历是为了说明“让球员决定比赛结果”这种裁判理念的流行程度。 故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“A foul (犯规) should be recognized as a foul no matter what time in the game it occurs—the first minute, the middle of the third quarter, or the final 10 seconds of a close game.(无论在比赛的什么时候 —— 第一分钟、第三节中间,还是比分接近的比赛的最后10秒,犯规都应该被认定为犯规)” 可知,作者认为比赛自始至终都应一致遵守规则,这样才能提高篮球比赛的公平性。故选C项。

As we all know, not all thoughts are welcome. Intrusive (入侵的) thoughts often emerge as unwanted visitors, disrupting our minds. They are involuntary and unwanted mental ideas or urges that pop into our minds without invitation. ____16____.
Most people experience intrusive thoughts from time to time. For example, if someone is driving, they might have an urge to drive off a bridge. Most people know they would never do such things and don’t pay much attention to them. ____17____. And they worry that these thoughts will come true or cause them to do something terrible. This can lead to them performing compulsions (强制行为) to try and reduce their anxiety.
Fortunately, there are strategies to deal with intrusive thoughts.
Accept them. Accept and allow the thoughts into your mind. ____18____. Try to just observe them and allow time to pass. Remember that intrusive thoughts are normal, and just having a thought doesn’t make it come true.
____19____. We know it’s difficult sometimes! Developing a sympathetic mindset toward yourself can do so much against unwanted thoughts, though. Treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer to a friend going through a similar struggle.
Stay present. The more present you are in the “here and now”, the less power you’re giving to these nagging fears and negative thoughts. You can try some grounding exercises, such as focusing on your breath. ____20____.
A. Love yourself
B. Don’t try to push them away
C. Never be too hard on yourself
D. However, some people become troubled by their intrusive thoughts

【17题详解】
上文“Most people know they would never do such things and don’t pay much attention to them.(大多数人都知道他们永远不会做这样的事情,也不会太在意)”提到大多数人不会太在意侵入性想法,结合下文“And they worry that these thoughts will come true or cause them to do something terrible.(他们担心这些想法会成真或导致他们做一些可怕的事情)”可知,也有人担心侵入性想法,故空处应是表示转折关系,D项“然而,有些人会被这些侵入性的想法所困扰”符合语境,故选D。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Accept and allow the thoughts into your mind.(接受并允许这些想法进入你的大脑)”可知,我们应该接受并允许这些想法,B项“不要试图推开他们”与上文语义一致,B项中“them”指代上文的“thoughts”,故选B。
【19题详解】
根据本段中“Developing a sympathetic mindset toward yourself can do so much against unwanted thoughts, though. Treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer to a friend going through a similar struggle.(培养一种对自己有同情心的心态可以很大程度上消除不必要的想法。对待你自己,就像对待一个正在经历类似挣扎的朋友一样)”可知,本段是说要对自己怀有一种同情、怜爱之情,A项“爱你自己”符合语境,故选A。
【20题详解】
上文“You can try some grounding exercises, such as focusing on your breath.(你可以尝试一些基础练习,比如专注于你的呼吸)”建议尝试一些基础练习,F项“这可以帮助你把注意力拉回来,打破侵入性思想的循环”说明其好处,符合语境。故选F。

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。
I flew through the back door, excitedly announcing to my mom, “Mom, I’ve been nominated (提名) for the National Junior Honor Society!” My mother smiled with pride and replied, “I’m so proud of you, honey.”
Together in the family room, I began filling out the application for the Honor Society. It required proof of possessing all the necessary candidate characteristics. The following day, I submitted the paperwork to my advisor and didn’t give it much further thought.
Months passed, and one afternoon, as soon as I stepped off the bus, I rushed home with a letter from the school regarding the Honor Society. “Mom,” I said, handing her the letter with tears welling up in my eyes, “I didn’t make it. They didn’t choose me.” My mother hugged me and said, “Oh, honey, I’m sorry. There must have been some kind of mistake.”
That night at dinner, I said sadly, “It’s not fair.” My mother agreed and then shared a story about her high school friend who was intelligent and kind-hearted but never made the National Honor Society. Despite his hurt and anger, he became a world-renowned lung cancer specialist, saving lives every day.
I grasped my mom’s message: not being part of the Honor Society wouldn’t define my future, but it was certainly painful in the moment. However, seeing most of my friends get selected made those weeks especially tough for me. I opened up to my parents about how difficult it was and declared, “This shouldn’t happen to anyone else.” We brainstormed ways to improve the selection process and arranged a meeting with the school principal (校长) to present our ideas.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;

A few days later, I received a call from the principal.

Finally, my graduation arrived and the principal announced my name as an Honor Society member.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
A few days later, I received a call from the principal. He told me that our suggestions were valuable and the committee was going to take some of them. I felt proud that I had helped future students. More importantly, he admitted that they had made some mistakes in their work. They re-examined my application and decided to accept me as a member of the Honor Society. What a pleasant surprise! No words can convey how thrilled I was at that moment.
Finally, my graduation arrived and the principal announced my name as an Honor Society member. Overwhelmed with excitement, I jumped up and ran onto the stage. I had long been convinced that everyone needed to seize every chance to make their voice heard and make their presence felt. Then I said something like this: Being a member of the Honor Society means a lot to me. However, what matters more is what we can do to make a difference to other people’s lives.
