“The movie American Sniper is on,” I said to my husband as we settled into bed. We decided to watch, figuring it would take our minds off my husband’s situation at work. He had been working with the same organization for close to twenty-three years, and the management, he suspected, was preparing to let him go. The signs were pretty clear and I felt his pain.
I wondered if American Sniper was the wrong movie to watch and considered changing the channel. Maybe something lighter was in order? A family comedy with laughter would have been more uplifting (令人开心的) for my husband. “It wouldn’t bother me so much if I just felt appreciated,” he said.
We turned the volume down as my son was in the next room studying for the final-term examinations. “You know this movie is based on a true story,” I said, half thinking about my husband’s situation and half watching the movie.
“Yes,” he replied. “It’s based on Chris Kyle’s book.” I thought about all the young men who had lost their lives in Iraq. “Incredibly, some of those boys were only a couple of years older than James,” I said, referring to our son.
As I watched the movie, I began to realize how negligible our problems really were. “You know, other couples are in bed tonight wondering if their sons are safe on a battlefield (战场); and here we are with our son perfectly safe in the next room.”
Over the next hour, the mood in our bedroom changed from depression to gratitude. How blessed we were! Our son was healthy and safe in the next room. We had a roof over our heads and could walk outside without worrying whether there would be bullets flying through the air! As for my husband’s job, he could do something else — something that he would have passion for.
24. What do we know about the author’s husband?
A. He was out of work.
B. He liked family comedies.
C. He got upset because of work.
D. He didn’t want to watch American Sniper.
25. What is the movie probably about?
A. The friendship among some young men.
B. Some boys losing lives in an accident.
C. A story about the author’s son.
D. The war that happened in Iraq.
26. What does the underlined word “negligible” in the last but one paragraph mean?
A. Unfortunate.
B. Unforgettable.
C. Unimportant.
D. Unbelievable.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Be grateful for what you have
B. Get some power from a movie
C. You can always control your life
D. Stay strong in the face of difficulty
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文章主要讲述当丈夫面临失业,家庭笼罩着伤感的氛围时,一部电影改变了作者和丈夫的心态。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He had been working with the same organization for close to twenty-three years, and the management, he suspected, was preparing to let him go. The signs were pretty clear and I felt his pain.(他在同一家公司工作了将近二十三年,他怀疑管理层正准备解雇他。征兆很明显,我能感觉到他的痛苦)”可知,作者的丈夫怀疑管理层正准备让他走人。即将失业的迹象很明显,作者能感受到他的痛苦。因此可以推测作者的丈夫因为工作的事情心烦意乱。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“I thought about all the young men who had lost their lives in Iraq.(我想起了所有在伊拉克失去生命的年轻人)”以及倒数第二段中的“You know, other couples are in bed tonight wondering if their sons are safe on a battlefield (战场)(你知道,有些夫妇今晚躺在床上,担心他们的儿子在战场上是否安全)”可知,这部电影可能是关于伊拉克战争的。故选D。
【26题详解】
词句推测题。根据倒数第二段的内容“As I watched the movie, I began to realize how negligible our problems really were. ‘You know, other couples are in bed tonight wondering if their sons are safe on a battlefield (战场); and here we are with our son perfectly safe in the next room.’(当我看电影时,我开始意识到我们的问题是多么negligible。‘你知道,有些夫妇今晚躺在床上,担心他们的儿子在战场上是否安全;现在我们和儿子在隔壁房间里,非常安全。’)”可知,作者看到电影里的那些士兵,想到他们的父母在担心自己的孩子能否平安回来。相比之下,作者的丈夫失业是多么小的事情,显得并不是那么重要,negligible意为“不重要的”,故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合最后一段“Over the next hour, the mood in our bedroom changed from depression to gratitude. How blessed we were! Our son was healthy and safe in the next room. We had a roof over our heads and could walk outside without worrying whether there would be bullets flying through the air! As for my husband’s job, he could do something else — something that he would have passion for.(在接下来的一个小时里,我们卧室里的情绪从沮丧变成了感激。我们是多么幸福啊!我们的儿子在隔壁房间里很健康,很安全。我们头上有了屋顶,可以在外面散步,而不用担心空中会不会有子弹飞来!至于我丈夫的工作,他可以做其他事情——他会有激情的事情)”可知,本文通过描写作者心态的改变,说明了这样一个道理:我们应该珍惜和感恩自己已经拥有的一切。A项“感激你所拥有的”为最佳标题,故选A。
C
A study shows that researchers managed to build a battery - free, wireless camera capable of taking high - quality colored images in the ocean, even in dark environments. It is considered a major challenge for undersea exploration.
With the ocean covering 70% of the Earth, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) explained that more than 80% of oceans have remained unobserved and unexplored. NOAA said scientists and researchers have depended on sonar (声呐) technologies to understand and map the sea floor.
The study’s senior author Fadel Adib said that one of the exciting applications of the underwater camera is climate monitoring. Adib explained that they missed 90% of ocean data as they built climate models. Adib added that the underwater camera could help them develop more accurate climate models, understanding the impacts of climate change on the ocean.
The study said that the camera is about 100,000 times more energy efficient. The wireless underwater camera transmits the data through the ocean.
Moreover, the researchers called it an autonomous camera powered by sound. It means that the underwater camera converts (转换) the mechanical (机械的) energy from the sound waves in the ocean as it travels through the water into the electrical energy powering the device’s communication. Then, the sound waves help in transmitting the data to the receiver.
Unlike other cameras, the undersea camera that researchers built doesn’t require a power source, operating for weeks. The promising features of the undersea camera can help explore the unobserved parts of the ocean. With the amazing battery - free undersea camera, the researchers used a device in which the camera could harvest its power, according to the study.
28. How did researchers map the sea floor in the past?
A. By travelling to the sea bottom.
B. By following the underwater camera.
C. By drawing paintings of the mapping site.
D. By making use of sonar technologies.
29. What do we learn about the underwater camera?
A. It has to be recharged by ships.
B. It transmits data through the sea water.
C. It can help humans produce more devices.
D. It makes travelling to the sea easier.
30. What is the researchers’ attitude towards the underwater camera?
A. Doubtful.
B. Positive.
C. Worried.
D. Unconcerned.
31. What’s the text mainly about?
A. A scientific study about the ocean.
B. The benefits of exploring the ocean.
C. An introduction to an underwater camera.
D. The way of the underwater camera getting its power.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发明了一种新型的无线水下摄影机。它不需要电池,可以在海水中传送数据。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“NOAA said scientists and researchers have depended on sonar (声呐) technologies to understand and map the sea floor.(美国国家海洋和大气管理局表示,科学家和研究人员一直依靠声纳技术来了解和绘制海底地图。)”可知,过去研究人员依靠声呐技术来绘制海底地图。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The wireless underwater camera transmits the data through the ocean.(无线水下摄像机通过海洋传输数据。)”可知,这种新型的水下摄影机可以在海水中传送数据。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Unlike other cameras, the undersea camera that researchers built doesn’t require a power source, operating for weeks. The promising features of the undersea camera can help explore the unobserved parts of the ocean.

Leonora Buenviaje has been making women’s clothes out of waste materials, usually dresses. She says wearing clothes made from waste materials can both be economical and look good.
Buenviaje is 51 years old and from Cainta in the Philippines. To make her dresses, she uses a foot - operated sewing machine to join together the waste materials. These include recycled newspapers, plastic wrapping and rice sacks (麻袋).
“The bubble wraps (泡沫包装) from delivery packages are nice looking and make for a good design, especially the black and white wraps,” she said. Bubble wraps are plastic products that are used to protect goods that are being delivered. She said white bubble wraps were good for making wedding dresses.
The dresses sell for between $30 to $50. They are used for everything from coming - of - age parties for a woman’s 18th birthday to weddings.
In Asia, there are plenty of waste materials for Buenviaje to work with: about 80 percent of the world’s ocean plastic is estimated to come from Asian rivers. A report by Oxford University’s online publication, Our World in Data, found that the Philippines is responsible for one third of the ocean plastic pollution.
“It’s important to recycle or take advantage of used materials so we can help our Earth,” said Lalaine Alcalde, who buys clothes from Buenviaje.
Buenviaje said the recycled materials used for each dress depend on what her buyers are looking for. She said her dresses are used in beauty competitions and are popular with young girls. “I get delighted whenever they win. The designs are simple but they still win,” she said.
Buenviaje hopes in - person clothing shows and competitions that were stopped during the pandemic (流行病) will begin again soon. She also aims to organize fashion shows herself to show and help others find ideas to create clothing out of recycled materials.
32. What can be used by Buenviaje to make dresses?
A. New plastic bags.
B. Used rice sacks.
C. Beautiful newspapers.
D. Delivery boxes.
33. Which of the following can best describe the work of Buenviaje?
A. Boring.
B. Well - paid.
C. Demanding.
D. Environmental.
34. Why does Lalaine purchase Buenviaje’s clothes?
A. They are affordable.
B. They are very unique.
C. They help protect the Earth.
D. They help people win in competitions.
35. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. The pandemic has a great impact on Buenviaje’s work.
B. Buenviaje’s designs are shown in many competitions.
C. Buenviaje’s in - person clothing shows are still on now.
D. Clothes made from waste materials will be thrown away.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
We often feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day. Working, daily meal preparations, and household repairs occupy a lot of our time, leaving little time for the things that matter most to us. ______36______ That’s the topic of Cassie Holmes’ new book, Happier Hour. Holmes, a researcher from UCLA, provides many ideas on how to spend time on what matters most.
_____37_____ Most of us have to work, do housework, or commute (通勤) — often our least favorite activities. But, she says, we can make the time pass more quickly and make life happier by “bundling (捆绑)” less pleasant activities with more pleasant ones. For example, if you have a long commute to work, you can listen to an audiobook (有声读物) on the way.
No one has over 24 hours in a day, of course. But there’re activities that make us feel as if we have more time. For example, use our time to perform small acts of kindness. _____38_____ Holmes recommends adding these practices to our everyday lives as a way to boost our mood.
For the things we already enjoy doing, Holmes suggests you understand even things making you super happy can lose their appeal with time. Whether it’s listening to a favorite song, or eating at your favorite restaurant, happy experiences can get old if you do them repetitively (重复地). ____39____
One of Holmes’ favorite ways to increase happiness, she writes, is to treat the weekend like a vacation. _____40_____ By making weekends a special, rejuvenating (恢复活力的) time, you can feel happier and more refreshed when you return to the weekdays.
Believe all the advice will benefit us all!
A. How can we analyze our days?
B. How can we change this pattern?
C. It means, don’t fill it with chores or other “must-do” activities.
D. This has been found to make us feel more time-rich than time-poor.
E. Holmes understands we can’t always be doing the things we love.
F. Of course, that means making time for them — even when we think we’re busy.
G. It’s best to space these experiences out or put something novel into them, says Holmes.
【答案】36. B 37. E 38. D 39. G 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何将时间花在更重要的事情上提出了一些建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“We often feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day. Working, daily meal preparations, and household repairs occupy a lot of our time, leaving little time for the things that matter most to us.(我们经常觉得一天的时间不够用。工作、日常的饭菜准备和家庭维修占据了我们大量的时间,留给我们最重要的事情的时间很少)”以及后文“That’s the topic of Cassie Holmes’ new book, Happier Hour.(这是凯西·霍姆斯的新书《快乐时光》的主题)”可知,上文提到我们经常觉得一天的时间不够用,后文引出霍姆斯的新书《快乐时光》的主题,说明本句主要关于如何改变时间不够用的主题。B选项“我们怎样才能改变这种模式?”符合语境,故选B。
【37题详解】
根据后文“Most of us have to work, do housework, or commute (通勤) — often our least favorite activities.(我们大多数人都要工作、做家务、上下班——这些往往是我们最不喜欢的活动)”可知,后文提到我们通常要做自己最不喜欢的活动,即我们不能总是做我们喜欢的事。E选项中the things we love与后文least favorite activities形成对比。故E选项“霍姆斯明白,我们不可能一直做自己喜欢的事情”符合语境,故选E。
【38题详解】
根据上文“No one has over 24 hours in a day, of course. But there’re activities that make us feel as if we have more time. For example, use our time to perform small acts of kindness.(当然,没有人一天的时间能超过24小时。但有些活动会让我们觉得自己有更多的时间。例如,利用我们的时间去做一些小小的善举)”可知,上文举出了做善举的例子会让我们感觉有更多的时间,D选项中feel more time-rich对应上文have more time。故D选项“人们发现这使我们感到时间充裕而不是时间匮乏”符合语境,故选D。
【39题详解】
根据上文“For the things we already enjoy doing, Holmes suggests you understand even things making you super happy can lose their appeal with time. Whether it’s listening to a favorite song, or eating at your favorite restaurant, happy experiences can get old if you do them repetitively (重复地).(对于我们已经喜欢做的事情,福尔摩斯建议你要明白,即使是让你超级快乐的事情,也会随着时间的推移而失去吸引力。无论是听一首最喜欢的歌,还是在你最喜欢的餐馆吃饭,如果你不断重复,快乐的经历会变得陈旧)”可知,上文提到重复地做喜欢的事情,快乐的经历也会变得无趣,本句为本段最后一句,故针对这一情况提出建议。故G选项“霍姆斯说,最好把这些经历分开,或者加入一些新奇的东西”符合语境,故选G。
【40题详解】
根据上文“One of Holmes’ favorite ways to increase happiness, she writes, is to treat the weekend like a vacation.(她写道,福尔摩斯最喜欢的增加幸福感的方法之一就是把周末当成假期)”可知,上文提到增加幸福感的方法之一是把周末当作一个假期,本句承接上文,进一步说明如何把周末当作一个假期来度过。故C选项“它的意思是,不要把它填满家务或其他‘必须做’的活动”符合语境,故选C。

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 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。
One family received a true blessing of message in a bottle from the late son.
Billy Mitchell, a salvage (打捞) diver, hunted for unique items that might have historical value. During one of his dives earlier this year, he found a sealed bottle containing a handwritten message that would turn out to have treasured emotional value for a sad family 200 miles away. The message in a bottle composed by an 11-year-old boy 33 years ago, found its way back to the boy’s family years after he passed away.
Billy first spotted the green glass bottle floating above a barge (驳船). It raised his curiosity because it appeared to contain a letter. “I always look for stuff that’s unique — driftwood or anything; there’s a message in this bottle!”
Billy gained the floating bottle, and then gently removed the enclosed letter with sticks. He allowed the paper to dry out. When it dried, he and his boss, Brad Babb, attempted to reconstruct the remaining pieces of the letter, written in the handwriting of a child. They could recognize the name, the year and the location: Dahl; 1998; Oxford, Mississippi.
Touched by the letter and the child’s adventurous spirit, Billy and Brad set out to return the thing to its rightful owner. Billy and Brad stayed late that day to contact local schools, searching for leads. That search didn’t result in a match. However, the note remained on their minds and they decided to continue their search using social media. They posted a picture of the note on the Internet, which instantly caused great interest. Others shared the story widely, and it took on a life of its own.
“I think a lot of time we take for granted how small steps can bring so much happiness and joy to other people,” said Brad.
“He’s with them still,” said Billy. “I think that’s what the note meant when we found it. To let his parents know that he was watching over them as well.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
The news of the mysterious message in a bottle soon made its way to Eric and Melanie Dahl.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The family contacted Billy and arranged to check and receive the letter.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The news of the mysterious message in a bottle soon made its way to Eric and Melanie Dahl. The couple realized that the letter was composed by their late son, Brian. They recalled that, when he was a sixth grader, he was assigned a creative class project that required him to write a message and place it in a bottle. The surprise offered the family great comfort after losing Brian at age 29. “Love never goes away,” said Eric with tears.
The family contacted Billy and arranged to check and receive the letter. Eric and Melanie and their other son, Chris, traveled 200 miles from their home to the shipbuilder’s office. The family expressed gratitude for the men’s kindness and diligence in tracking them down. Melanie brought childhood photos of Brian playing baseball, fishing and cycling to share with Billy and Brad. The family could hardly believe that the message in a bottle had found its way back to them 33 years later. They carefully examined the bottle and read the note Brian wrote as a child, which made them smile.

“The movie American Sniper is on,” I said to my husband as we settled into bed. We decided to watch, figuring it would take our minds off my husband’s situation at work. He had been working with the same organization for close to twenty-three years, and the management, he suspected, was preparing to let him go. The signs were pretty clear and I felt his pain.
I wondered if American Sniper was the wrong movie to watch and considered changing the channel. Maybe something lighter was in order? A family comedy with laughter would have been more uplifting (令人开心的) for my husband. “It wouldn’t bother me so much if I just felt appreciated,” he said.
We turned the volume down as my son was in the next room studying for the final-term examinations. “You know this movie is based on a true story,” I said, half thinking about my husband’s situation and half watching the movie.
“Yes,” he replied. “It’s based on Chris Kyle’s book.” I thought about all the young men who had lost their lives in Iraq. “Incredibly, some of those boys were only a couple of years older than James,” I said, referring to our son.
As I watched the movie, I began to realize how negligible our problems really were. “You know, other couples are in bed tonight wondering if their sons are safe on a battlefield (战场); and here we are with our son perfectly safe in the next room.”
Over the next hour, the mood in our bedroom changed from depression to gratitude. How blessed we were! Our son was healthy and safe in the next room. We had a roof over our heads and could walk outside without worrying whether there would be bullets flying through the air! As for my husband’s job, he could do something else — something that he would have passion for.
24. What do we know about the author’s husband?
A. He was out of work.
B. He liked family comedies.
C. He got upset because of work.
D. He didn’t want to watch American Sniper.
25. What is the movie probably about?
A. The friendship among some young men.
B. Some boys losing lives in an accident.
C. A story about the author’s son.
D. The war that happened in Iraq.

A. Unfortunate.
B. Unforgettable.
C. Unimportant.
D. Unbelievable.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Be grateful for what you have
B. Get some power from a movie
C. You can always control your life
D. Stay strong in the face of difficulty
C
A study shows that researchers managed to build a battery - free, wireless camera capable of taking high - quality colored images in the ocean, even in dark environments. It is considered a major challenge for undersea exploration.
With the ocean covering 70% of the Earth, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) explained that more than 80% of oceans have remained unobserved and unexplored. NOAA said scientists and researchers have depended on sonar (声呐) technologies to understand and map the sea floor.
The study’s senior author Fadel Adib said that one of the exciting applications of the underwater camera is climate monitoring. Adib explained that they missed 90% of ocean data as they built climate models. Adib added that the underwater camera could help them develop more accurate climate models, understanding the impacts of climate change on the ocean.
The study said that the camera is about 100,000 times more energy efficient. The wireless underwater camera transmits the data through the ocean.
Moreover, the researchers called it an autonomous camera powered by sound. It means that the underwater camera converts (转换) the mechanical (机械的) energy from the sound waves in the ocean as it travels through the water into the electrical energy powering the device’s communication. Then, the sound waves help in transmitting the data to the receiver.
Unlike other cameras, the undersea camera that researchers built doesn’t require a power source, operating for weeks. The promising features of the undersea camera can help explore the unobserved parts of the ocean. With the amazing battery - free undersea camera, the researchers used a device in which the camera could harvest its power, according to the study.
28. How did researchers map the sea floor in the past?
A. By travelling to the sea bottom.
B. By following the underwater camera.
C. By drawing paintings of the mapping site.
D. By making use of sonar technologies.
29. What do we learn about the underwater camera?
A. It has to be recharged by ships.
B. It transmits data through the sea water.
C. It can help humans produce more devices.
D. It makes travelling to the sea easier.
30. What is the researchers’ attitude towards the underwater camera?
A. Doubtful.
B. Positive.
C. Worried.
D. Unconcerned.
31. What’s the text mainly about?
A A scientific study about the ocean.
B. The benefits of exploring the ocean.
C. An introduction to an underwater camera.
D. The way of the underwater camera getting its power.

Leonora Buenviaje has been making women’s clothes out of waste materials, usually dresses. She says wearing clothes made from waste materials can both be economical and look good.
Buenviaje is 51 years old and from Cainta in the Philippines. To make her dresses, she uses a foot - operated sewing machine to join together the waste materials. These include recycled newspapers, plastic wrapping and rice sacks (麻袋).
“The bubble wraps (泡沫包装) from delivery packages are nice looking and make for a good design, especially the black and white wraps,” she said. Bubble wraps are plastic products that are used to protect goods that are being delivered. She said white bubble wraps were good for making wedding dresses.
The dresses sell for between $30 to $50. They are used for everything from coming - of - age parties for a woman’s 18th birthday to weddings.
In Asia, there are plenty of waste materials for Buenviaje to work with: about 80 percent of the world’s ocean plastic is estimated to come from Asian rivers. A report by Oxford University’s online publication, Our World in Data, found that the Philippines is responsible for one third of the ocean plastic pollution.
“It’s important to recycle or take advantage of used materials so we can help our Earth,” said Lalaine Alcalde, who buys clothes from Buenviaje.
Buenviaje said the recycled materials used for each dress depend on what her buyers are looking for. She said her dresses are used in beauty competitions and are popular with young girls. “I get delighted whenever they win. The designs are simple but they still win,” she said.
Buenviaje hopes in - person clothing shows and competitions that were stopped during the pandemic (流行病) will begin again soon. She also aims to organize fashion shows herself to show and help others find ideas to create clothing out of recycled materials.
32. What can be used by Buenviaje to make dresses?
A. New plastic bags.
B. Used rice sacks.
C. Beautiful newspapers.
D. Delivery boxes.
33. Which of the following can best describe the work of Buenviaje?
A. Boring.
B. Well - paid.
C. Demanding.
D. Environmental.
34. Why does Lalaine purchase Buenviaje’s clothes?
A. They are affordable.
B. They are very unique.
C They help protect the Earth.
D. They help people win in competitions.
35. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. The pandemic has a great impact on Buenviaje’s work.
B. Buenviaje’s designs are shown in many competitions.
C. Buenviaje’s in - person clothing shows are still on now.
D. Clothes made from waste materials will be thrown away.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
We often feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day. Working, daily meal preparations, and household repairs occupy a lot of our time, leaving little time for the things that matter most to us. ______36______ That’s the topic of Cassie Holmes’ new book, Happier Hour. Holmes, a researcher from UCLA, provides many ideas on how to spend time on what matters most.
_____37_____ Most of us have to work, do housework, or commute (通勤) — often our least favorite activities. But, she says, we can make the time pass more quickly and make life happier by “bundling (捆绑)” less pleasant activities with more pleasant ones. For example, if you have a long commute to work, you can listen to an audiobook (有声读物) on the way.
No one has over 24 hours in a day, of course. But there’re activities that make us feel as if we have more time. For example, use our time to perform small acts of kindness. _____38_____ Holmes recommends adding these practices to our everyday lives as a way to boost our mood.
For the things we already enjoy doing, Holmes suggests you understand even things making you super happy can lose their appeal with time. Whether it’s listening to a favorite song, or eating at your favorite restaurant, happy experiences can get old if you do them repetitively (重复地). ____39____
One of Holmes’ favorite ways to increase happiness, she writes, is to treat the weekend like a vacation. _____40_____ By making weekends a special, rejuvenating (恢复活力的) time, you can feel happier and more refreshed when you return to the weekdays.
Believe all the advice will benefit us all!
A. How can we analyze our days?
B. How can we change this pattern?
C. It means, don’t fill it with chores or other “must-do” activities.
D. This has been found to make us feel more time-rich than time-poor.
E. Holmes understands we can’t always be doing the things we love.
F. Of course, that means making time for them — even when we think we’re busy.
G. It’s best to space these experiences out or put something novel into them, says Holmes.

67. 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。
One family received a true blessing of message in a bottle from the late son.
Billy Mitchell, a salvage (打捞) diver, hunted for unique items that might have historical value. During one of his dives earlier this year, he found a sealed bottle containing a handwritten message that would turn out to have treasured emotional value for a sad family 200 miles away. The message in a bottle composed by an 11-year-old boy 33 years ago, found its way back to the boy’s family years after he passed away.
Billy first spotted the green glass bottle floating above a barge (驳船). It raised his curiosity because it appeared to contain a letter. “I always look for stuff that’s unique — driftwood or anything; there’s a message in this bottle!”
Billy gained the floating bottle, and then gently removed the enclosed letter with sticks. He allowed the paper to dry out. When it dried, he and his boss, Brad Babb, attempted to reconstruct the remaining pieces of the letter, written in the handwriting of a child. They could recognize the name, the year and the location: Dahl; 1998; Oxford, Mississippi.
Touched by the letter and the child’s adventurous spirit Billy and Brad set out to return the thing to its rightful owner. Billy and Brad stayed late that day to contact local schools, searching for leads. That search didn’t result in a match. However, the note remained on their minds and they decided to continue their search using social media. They posted a picture of the note on the Internet, which instantly caused great interest. Others shared the story widely, and it took on a life of its own.
“I think a lot of time we take for granted how small steps can bring so much happiness and joy to other people,” said Brad.
“He’s with them still,” said Billy. “I think that’s what the note meant when we found it. To let his parents know that he was watching over them as well.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
The news of the mysterious message in a bottle soon made its way to Eric and Melanie Dahl
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The family contacted Billy and arranged to check and receive the letter.
