Gianluca was born with Angelman Syndrome (天使综合征), a genetic disease.Maxi was never afraid about the fact that she did not know what this condition was about.She had to get out there and face the music．“When he was a newborn baby, he used to cry all day long.He wouldn't eat or sleep.It was an endless cycle.We ran some tests and doctors told us his progress depended on us.But it was clear that something was wrong with him.So we visited several doctors and ran some other tests until he was five，”she explains. Despite all of this, Maxi designed a treatment plan for Gianluca.It did not matter what he was suffering from; she believed love was the“medicine”that could cure him.She formed a group of ten people of different ages outside her family who were willing to help Gianluca's development.These people would come to her house in shifts from 9 AM to 7 PM with only one goal: to show Gianluca that he could achieve whatever he wanted.“We started encouraging him with games.During those two or three years, he learnt how to walk and he made huge progress，”she remembers. Learning about her child's diagnosis (诊断) was a starting point for Maxi.To help relieve the pain of parents whose children suffered from the same condition, she created the Association for Parents coping with Angelman Syndrome which currently has about a hundred families.Living with these children is very enriching.This is why the association is not only working to provide support and guidance for the families of children with this condition；it also wants to tell people that they can also learn from these children.“We want them to come and experience what we learnt from our children，”she says.

The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated (截肢) at the age of four.Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life. To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of simply using a geo­tag (图像地理标签), she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture. Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam, relaxing on a wall, overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the spectacular Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, all with the well­known locations written on her artificial leg. “I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it.One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk­board，”Gallagher said.“My mum and grandmother weren't too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.” Gallagher said people often stare when she's writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback，“My leg hasn't stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to do，”she said.“I don't know if it's my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I've been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.” Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams.And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art. [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了截肢后的Gallagher在社交媒体上分享旅行时的照片(拍照之前把旅行地点写在假肢上)向人们传递她把自己的不幸当作另一种形式的幸事。她的故事告诉我们：永远不要让任何事情阻挡你的梦想，如果生活给了你一条假肢，用它创作艺术吧！ 8．What message did Gallapher want to spread in her special way? A．She enjoys her travelling across the globe. B．She suffers little from her legs amputation. C．She looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing. D．She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online. C　[推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Although the amputation...her best life.”可知，虽然截肢早期给Gallapher带来了挫折，但她现在认为这是对她最好的生活的激励，也就是她想向人们传递她把自己的不幸当作另一种形式的幸事。] 9．What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The continent. B．The pictures. C．The leg. D．The location. B　[代词指代题。根据画线词前的“Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent”和画线词后的“show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam”可知，她现在正在欧洲各地拍摄照片，在照片中，她骑着自行车穿过阿姆斯特丹运河。分析句子结构可知，此处为非限制性定语从句，关系代词which指代先行词pictures。] 10．Gallapher can be best described as ． A．helpful and ambitious B．friendly and generous C．determined and creative D．independent and sensible C　[推理判断题。根据全文内容可知， Gallagher在社交媒体上分享旅行时的照片(拍照之前把旅行地点写在假肢上)向人们传递她把自己的不幸当作另一种形式的幸事，可见她很有创造性；虽然截肢了，她也像其他人一样过着美好的生活，可见她很有决心，故C项正确。] 11．Which of the following might be the best title for the text? A．Never too Late to Share B．A Special Artificial Leg C．An Outstanding Photographer D．Gallagher's Summer Holidays B　[标题归纳题。根据最后一段内容可知，Gallagher的故事告诉我们：永远不要让任何事情阻挡你的梦想，如果生活给了你一条假肢，用它创作艺术吧！故B项(特殊的假肢)适合作文章标题。] D We live in a world where we want everything instantly.In this instant world it is hard to succeed in anything.To achieve your goal you first have to change your life from instantly to persistently (坚持地)． Persistence is the course you need to set.When you change your expectancy from instantly to persistently you will gain an advantage of time that many do not have.Time works against those who live instantly.Opportunities are never seen because when something doesn't happen instantly people move on to the next thing on their list and consider the current goal a failure. Persistent people have the advantage of time.It allows them to step back, observe and assess the progress of the goal they are pursuing.Some things take longer to develop；some just need to be left there for a while to find their own way. When you live instantly you gain and lose instantly.Many times you do not know how you got there or how to get back because it is not repeatable.When you live persistently you learn how things work, how to correct a plan and how to guide it to make it successful.You do not panic because you know you have more than enough time. Slow down and take time to enjoy the journey.If what you are doing is not fun then stop doing it and do something else. Everything you do should be in pursuit of a better tomorrow than you had yesterday.You should take time to develop your abilities to reach your goals.Do not get discouraged just because your success is not instant. Celebrate each step along the way.People who live instantly don't take time to appreciate what they have accomplished.They are just looking for the next thing that they can get instantly. You must be grateful for the time it takes to reach your goal.Persistence will get you there if you really want to get there. [语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文，论述了急于求成的人和坚持不懈的人在追求成功的过程中的不同做法。想要到达成功的彼岸，就要学会坚持，别轻言放弃。 12．Why will people who want things instantly fail in many things? A．They want greater efficiency. B．They don't stick to their goal. C．They often change their lifestyle. D．They tend to pursue a higher target. B　[细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“Opportunities are never seen because when something doesn't happen instantly people move on to the next thing”可以推断出，那些想马上就成功的人太急于求成，对自己的目标不坚持，自然难以成功。故选B。] 13．What's the main advantage persistent people have over instant people? A．The willpower. B．A target. C．A plan. D．An opportunity. A　[推理判断题。第二段讲到那些急于求成的人看到事情没有成功就立刻转到另外一件事情上去了，他们缺少对目标的坚持，而那些坚持不懈的人的主要优点在于他们的坚持和毅力。故选A。] 14．According to the text, persistent people ． A．focus more on the result B．work slower than instant people C．will get rewarded for their efforts D．don't appreciate what they have done C　[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Persistence will get you there if you really want to get there.”可知，坚持不懈的人会成功，他们所付出的时间和努力最终会得到回报。] 15．What's the writer's main purpose of writing the text? A．To blame those who live instantly. B．To persuade people to live happily. C．To praise those who have succeeded. D．To suggest learning the art of persistence. D　[写作意图题。文章主要论述了急于求成的人的失败及坚持不懈的人的成功，从中可看出作者是想建议我们学会“坚持”这门艺术。] 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When Failure Is a Good Thing Failure is an important process you can learn from.16. Most people view failure as something that should be avoided at all costs.17. It may have been an “F” we received on a paper or the high expectations our parents placed upon our shoulders that stopped us from trying. Award­winning psychologist and author, Ron Friedman, tells the story of how Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, revolutionized the women's clothing industry and became a billionaire in his book, The Best Place To Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace. 18． She had zero experience in the clothing industry, lacked an education in business and raised only ＄5，000 to invest.When asked where she found the courage, she gave all credit to her dad.While most parents ask their kids，“How was your day？” when sitting down for dinner, Sara's parents asked her and her brother，“What did you fail at today？” each and every night. When interviewed by CNN's Anderson Cooper, Sara said，“Instead of failure being the outcome, failure became not trying.It forced me at a young age to want to push myself so much further out of my comfort zone.”19. It became more about learning and less about a personal weakness. If we view failure as weakness, we avoid stepping out of our comfort zone.20. It does not define us, but instead matures us.I'm sure that there are many risks we would all take in our personal, professional and spiritual lives if we could get past a fear of failure. What has been the greatest lesson you have learned when taking a chance? Please share with us. A.And, most importantly, it means you tried. B．Let's take a look at how Sara faced failures. C．In reality, Sara's father had re­defined failure. D．Early on, Sara overcame a series of difficulties. E．Instead, we must remind ourselves that failure is an action. F．It is important to reflect on what can be learnt from failure. G．We tend to connect failure with a bad experience we had as a child. [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Spanx的创始人Sara Blakely的故事来告诉我们该如何对待失败。Sara Blakely的父亲重新定义了失败，他让孩子明白，失败并非结果，而是一种不愿尝试的想法。失败没有定义我们，而是让我们成长，让我们脱离舒适区并变成一个更优秀的人。 16．A　[根据上文“Failure is an important process you can learn from.(失败是一个重要的过程，你可以从中学习)”可知，上文提出失败重要的是过程，从中学习，推测本句承接上文继续说明失败的重要意义：这意味着你尽力了。故A选项“最重要的是，这意味着你尽力了”符合语境，故选A。] 17．G　[根据上文“Most people view failure as something that should be avoided at all costs.(大多数人认为应该不惜一切代价避免失败)”以及后文“It may have been an ‘F’ we received on a paper or the high expectations our parents placed upon our shoulders that stopped us from trying.(也许是我们的试卷得了个‘F’，或者是父母对我们寄予的厚望阻止了我们去尝试)”可知，人们认为失败是生活中无论如何都要避免的东西，后几句讲述的是我们小时候的一些失败，故推测本句在讲人们对失败的看法，故G选项“我们往往把失败和我们小时候的糟糕经历联系起来”符合语境，故选G。] 18．D　[根据后文“She had zero experience in the clothing industry, lacked an education in business and raised only ＄5，000 to invest.When asked where she found the courage, she gave all credit to her dad.While most parents ask their kids，‘How was your day？’ when sitting down for dinner, Sara's parents asked her and her brother，‘What did you fail at today？’ each and every night.(她在服装行业没有任何经验，没有接受过商业教育，也只筹集到了5 000美元用于投资。当被问及她的勇气来自何处时，她把一切归功于她的父亲。当大多数父母问他们的孩子，‘你今天过得怎么样？’当坐下来吃晚饭时，萨拉的父母每天晚上问她和她的兄弟‘你们今天做什么事情失败了？’)”可知，后文说Sara在服装业没有经验，没有商业的学习经历，也没有钱投资，她只有她父亲的教诲，“你今天做什么事情失败了”，可知这一段并在讲Sara经历的困难。故D选项“早期，Sara克服了一系列的困难”符合语境，故选D。] 19．C　[根据上文“When interviewed by CNN's Anderson Cooper, Sara said，‘Instead of failure being the outcome, failure became not trying.It forced me at a young age to want to push myself so much further out of my comfort zone.’(在接受CNN的安德森·库珀采访时，萨拉说：‘失败并非结果，而是一种不愿尝试的想法。它迫使我在很小的时候就想要把自己推得远远地离开我的舒适区。’)”以及后文“It became more about learning and less about a personal weakness.(它更多的是关于学习，而不是一个人的弱点)”可知，空前说，失败并非结果，而是一种不愿尝试的想法，讲的是失败的定义；空后说，失败更多是关于吸取教训，而非个人弱点，讲的也是失败的定义。此外，这种失败的定义让Sara脱离了自己的舒适圈，所以这里在说Sara父亲重新定义的失败对Sara的影响。故C选项“在现实中，Sara的父亲重新定义了失败”符合语境，故选C。] 20．E　[根据上文“If we view failure as weakness, we avoid stepping out of our comfort zone.(如果我们把失败看成弱点，我们就不会走出自己的舒适区)”以及后文“It does not define us, but instead matures us.I'm sure that there are many risks we would all take in our personal, professional and spiritual lives if we could get past a fear of failure.(它不能定义我们，反而使我们成熟。我敢肯定，如果我们能克服对失败的恐惧，我们在个人生活、职业生涯和精神生活中都可以承担许多风险)”可知， 前文说，如果认为失败是一种个人弱点，我们就不会脱离自己的舒适圈，讲的是反面；后文说，我们不由失败定义，而从失败中受到启发进而成长，讲的是正面，所以本句与上文构成转折，指出失败的定义和作用。故E选项“相反，我们必须提醒自己，失败是一种行动”符合语境，故选E。] 第二部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For me personally, I could write for days about many different situations where adversity 21 my life.Now let me tell you one experience where I almost let adversity 22 ． We had a glass studio.A couple of years ago we experienced a(n) 23 winter；there was a lot of snow and ice.The 24 of the ice and snow 25 the roof of our studio, taking with it one of our sources of income. 26 it did fall down, we got on the roof and tried to 27 the snow and ice, but when you have 5 feet of ice and temperatures of minus 20 Celsius, it was pretty 28 to do. The roof came down.We had moved a lot of our goods and tools from the studio 29 we lost a lot also: glass, kilns, workbenches, to name only a few of the items.It was a disastrous (灾难性的) experience. We could simply say that we could no longer 30 our glass business.Let me tell you that this was certainly a thought that 31 our mind, but we didn't have it happen. We had a large barn that we were not using.So we renovated (翻新) the barn， 32 our working area and today we have a 33 studio than we previously had.If the adversity we were 34 had not happened, we probably would 35 be working in the old studio, a studio that was less efficient. [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过失去工作室、重建工作室的亲身经历告诉我们：人生中的逆境不一定是坏事，有时会使你得到提升。 21．A．prevented B．influenced C．damaged D．promoted D　[promoted在此处意为“提升”，依据本文最后一句中的“would 35 be working in the old studio, a studio that was less efficient”可知，改造后的工作室比以前的更好，故可知逆境反而使作者的生活得到了提升。] 22．A．suffer B．win C．escape D．work B　[由倒数第二段可知作者曾经有一闪念要放弃重建工作室，所以可知作者讲述的是一场差点让逆境战胜了自己的经历，所以B项正确。] 23．A．awkward B．long C．terrible D．agreeable C　[由后文的积雪和冰压坏玻璃工作室可知当年的冬天非常糟糕，故C项正确。] 24．A．size B．weight C．height D．temperature B　[后文讲述屋顶的积雪达5英尺厚，故可知积雪和冰的重量压坏了工作室的屋顶。] 25．A．destroyed B．limited C．pressed D．struck A　[destroy意为“毁坏”，由后文可知工作室已完全被毁，无法再用，所以A项正确。] 26．A．Although B．Unless C．Before D．When C　[由空后“but when you have 5 feet of ice and temperatures of minus 20 Celsius, it was pretty 28 to do”可知作者曾在屋顶倒塌之前试图除掉冰雪，所以选择C项。] 27．A．remove B．reduce C．recycle D．replace A　[remove在此处意为“移除”，由前文语境和空前的“we got on the roof”可知作者上房顶是为了除掉冰雪。] 28．A．worthwhile B．tough C．rewarding D．annoying B　[tough在此处意为“艰难的”，空前的“but when you have 5 feet of ice and temperatures of minus 20 Celsius”表示冰已达5英尺厚，气温零下20摄氏度，故可知除掉冰雪非常艰难。] 29．A．for B．but C．or D．so B　[空前讲述我们搬出了很多货品和工具，空后表示我们损失的也很多，前后内容存在转折关系，故选B。] 30．A．conduct B．predict C．instruct D．quit A　[句意：我们可以简单地说我们不能再做我们的玻璃生意了。conduct在此处意为“实施”。] 31．A．approached B．cleared C．crossed D．comforted C　[cross在此处意为“闪过”，指放弃的念头的确曾闪过他们的脑海，但由后文他们重新修建更好的工作室可知，他们没有容许这种退缩的念头占上风，所以C项正确。] 32．A．redesigned B．evaluated C．organized D．reserved A　[redesign意为“重新设计”，由空后的“and today we have a 33 studio than we previously had”可知他们重新设计了工作室。] 33．A．smaller B．nicer C．taller D．worse B　[由最后一句中的“the old studio, a studio that was less efficient”可知新工作室更好，故B项正确。] 34．A．aware of B．concerned about C．cautious about D．faced with D　[be faced with“面临，面对”，此处指作者面临冰雪压垮屋顶的逆境。be aware of“意识到”，be concerned about“关心；担心”， be cautious about“对……很谨慎”。] 35．A．ever B．already C．still D．even C　[still在此处意为“仍然，还”。 句意：如果我们面临的逆境不曾发生，也许我们还工作在那个旧的工作室中——一个效率较低的工作室。] 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 While the story of The Farmer and The Mule (骡子) makes us smile, it does have 36. (wise) in it.It reminded me about defeating adversity. 37． we handle adversity determines our success in life.One of my thoughts on adversity is，“Adversity is a fact of life.It can't 38. (control)．What we can control is how we react to it.” When 39. (face) with adversity, we can give up the negative attitude.Or we can look on adversity 40. an opportunity to find other ways to do things.We should be 41. (determine) and persistent.It all comes down to your choice and it is a choice of attitude! You see, the farmer thought the mule was not worth 42.

(resist) until it was able to climb out of the well on top of all the dirt that was thrown in after it. The mule, despite the fact that it was 45. (constant)in a deep well, would not give up.The mule simply shook the dirt off little by little, never giving up the will to live by climbing out of the well. [语篇解读]本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者用农夫和骡子的故事告诉我们：在面对逆境时，我们不应该放弃而是应该努力战胜它。 36．wisdom　[考查名词。句意：虽然农夫和骡子的故事使我们发笑，但是这个故事蕴含着智慧。此处需要填入wise的名词形式作have的宾语，wisdom(智慧)合乎要求，抽象名词，不可数。故填wisdom。] 37．How　[考查主语从句的引导词。句意：我们如何处理逆境决定了我们在生活中能否成功。分析句子结构可知，此处应该填入主语从句的引导词，从句中缺少方式状语，表示“如何”，应该使用连接副词how。故填How。] 38．be controlled　[考查被动语态。句意：它是不能被控制的。情态动词can't后接动词原形，control是谓语动词，它与it是被动关系，因此can't后面应该使用“be＋过去分词”的形式。故填be controlled。] 39．faced　[考查状语从句的省略。句意：当面对逆境时，我们要放弃消极的态度。固定短语be faced with表示“面对”，从句的完整形式为：when we are faced with adversity。主从句的主语是一致的，且从句含有be，因此省略掉从句中的“we are”。故填faced。] 40．as　[考查固定短语。句意：或者我们可以把逆境看作是一个寻找其他做事方式的机会。分析句子结构可知，此处需要填介词。固定短语look on...as...：把……当作……。故填as。] 41．determined　[考查形容词。句意：我们应该有决心并坚持下去。此处与后面的persistent并列使用形容词作表语，determined是形容词，表示“有决心的”，修饰主语“we”。故填determined。] 42．saving　[考查固定短语。句意：你看，农夫认为不慎掉进井里的骡子不值得一救，就决定埋掉它，使它不再痛苦。固定短语be worth doing表示“值得做”。故填saving。] 43．so/and　[考查并列连词。句意：你看，农夫认为不慎掉进井里的骡子不值得一救，就决定埋掉它，使它不再痛苦。空格处前一部分的句意为：农夫认为不慎掉进井里的骡子不值得一救；空格处后一部分的句意为：农夫决定埋掉它，使它不再痛苦。由此可知，前后两部分为因果关系，使用so进行连接；也可以将前后两部分理解为顺承的关系，使用and进行连接。填so/and。] 44．resisted　[考查时态。句意：尽管农夫尽最大的努力把它埋掉，但骡子还是顽强地抵抗，直到它从埋在它身上的泥土中挣脱出来并爬到井外。空处为主句谓语动词，由从句谓语动词was可知，主句也使用一般过去时。故填resisted。] 45．constantly　[考查副词。句意：尽管骡子一直陷在深井里，但它还是没有放弃。用副词作状语修饰介词短语“in a deep well”，constant的副词是constantly，意为“一直，始终”。故填constantly。] 第三部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 我校将举办主题为“My Story of Courage and Determination”的英语演讲比赛，假设你是李华，请你结合自己的经历，写一篇演讲稿，讲述你在成长过程中经历的关于勇气与毅力的故事。内容包括： 1．故事发生的过程； 2．这件事给你的启发。 注意： 1．词数 80 左右； 2．可适当增加细节以使行文连贯； 3．开头结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Good morning, everyone， My topic today is“My Story of Courage and Determination”．　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 That's all.Thanks for your listening. [参考范文] Good morning, everyone， My topic today is“My Story of Courage and Determination”．When it comes to courage and determination, I will never forget the first time when I learned how to ride a bike. At the beginning, with father holding the back of the bike, I rode happily and safely.After some time, my father told me to ride independently.Though a little scared, I gave it a try.It was tougher than I had expected.After several attempts, I finally rode the bike steadily.At that moment, I felt like I was flying.Whenever I meet with difficulties, this experience inspires me to be courageous and determined. That's all.Thanks for your listening. 第二节(满分25分) 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 a tornado (龙卷风) hit a small town nearby, many families were left homeless. Afterward, all the local newspapers carried stories of the families who suffered the hardest to appeal to people's attention and assistance. One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me.A young woman stood in front of a mobile home, a depressed expression on her face.A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast.Hiding behind her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, wide eyes with confusion and fear.The article below gave clothing sizes closely matched ours.This would be a good opportunity to teach my seven­year­old twins, Brad and Brett, and three­year­old Meghan to help those less fortunate than themselves. “We have so much.And these poor people now have nothing，” I said.“We'll share what we have with them.”I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them in the living room.Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods.While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things.The boys were pleased to join.Brad rose and went to his room fast.He came back bringing his action figures that he played with not so frequently.Brett also jumped up and ran to fetch some of his Matchbox cars and airplane models.Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up abandoned toys. The boys placed the objects they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes.Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, best­loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest.“I'll help you find something for the little girl, too.”I said to the little Meghan. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 “Mommy, I will give Lucy to them，”Meghan turned to me.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Recognizing what little Meghan's gesture meant, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 [参考范文] “Mommy, I will give Lucy to them，”Meghan turned to me.“Oh, honey，”I said.“You don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much.”Meghan nodded seriously, eyes glistening with tears.“Lucy makes me happy, Mommy.Maybe she'll make that little girl happy, too.”She paused in front of the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucy's flat face, gave her a final kiss, and then laid her gently on top of the other toys.The boys watched, open­mouthed, as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box. Recognizing what little Meghan's gesture meant, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes.I replaced it with the new hunter green jacket that I had bought on sale last week.I believed the young woman in the picture would like it and fit it as much as I did.The boys had also been inspired by our behavior and carried their beloved things.We all wished the family could pass the difficult period as soon as possible and that they would love the things we gave them with all our heart. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
