It happened when he was seven.） It was New Year’s Eve. In the morning, I heard Grandma tell Mum she needed a football for the New Year’s Eve dinner. “A football for the dinner?

I gave him my favourite model car in exchange for his football. I took the football home, shined it and put it on the living room table secretly. I waited in my room for Grandma to notice it. “Mike!” Mum shouted. I ran to the living room. “Why can’t you put your things where they belong? Get the football out of here!” “But it’s for Grandma!

I have done a silly thing!” I went back to my room, embarrassed and disappointed. Before dinner, Mum came in and asked me to meet my uncles and aunts. When I walked into the living room, Grandma was showing them a pretty fruit bowl with the old football in its centre, I was surprised. “Look!” Grandma said. “Today Mike brought me a nice present, this football.

So carefully, in fact, that he actually slows his breathing down and works in between breaths. Willard usually works under a microscope using special tools that he creates. To paint his works, he uses the hair from a fly as a paintbrush. Creating these detailed works is a very long and difficult process, and it isn't always enjoyable."

They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes. Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet lesson. “How I wish I could do something different today,” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. “How would you like to be me for a day?” they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen’s ballet dress while Karen put Grace’s brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes. When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn’t dare to hand in her work. Meanwhile, Grace was struggling in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, “Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can’t rely on copying what others are doing.” When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired out. They decided that they would never try to be someone else they were not. It seemed that the grass was not always greener on the other side. 1．Did Grace and Karen like Saturdays? 2．When did the twins get up on Saturdays? 3．What was the twins’ plan when they decided to do something different? 4．How did Karen feel at the beginning of the art lesson? 5．Why did the ballet teacher become impatient? 6．What does the underlined part “the grass was not always greener on the other side” at the end of the story try to tell us? （2016·上海·中考真题）Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题） Letter A Young people are always told that they should make the most of their time，that they will never be as free again So，my question is-why fill up all this free time with housework？Parents expect their children to get good grades，be good at sports，and be popular with other kids． However，there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well．It's not fair to expect teenagers to give up their precious time to do boring house work．Parents and children both have jobs．Parents' jobs are in the work place．Their children's jobs are at school． The only difference is that parents get paid and children don't．Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility．But this is just at rick．Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy． Yours， Overloaded Letter B Both parents and children have jobs．The parent's job is to go to work to earn money．The child's job is to go to school．But we all get hungry．Someone has to cook the meals and clean up afterward．We all wear clothes that get dirty．Someone has to wash them，iron them，and put them away．Children work from 9 until 4．Parents work from 8 until 6．Sure，after 4 o'clock，children have homework．But after 6，parents have homework too．They have to do the shopping，go to the bank，pay the bills，and help their kids with their own homework!

I searched for any kind of shelter and found a small empty doghouse. Lying in it, I heard footsteps approaching, but I was too sick to lift my head. A family found me and stopped. Then I got wrapped (包裹) in a thick jacket, carefully and gently. A woman picked me up. She lowered her head looking at me. I could see the worry and sadness in her eyes. “Honey, dogs are everywhere in this area. We can’t save all of them,” said the man. He was right. There were so many of us—homeless and forgotten. The woman replied, “She can’t even stand up. How can we turn our back on such a poor life?” After a moment of silence, the man finally agreed. They soon took me to a nearby pet clinic.

Growing up was tough for him, especially since he faced unfriendly comments from others. This experience taught Charlie the importance of good communication with both teachers and peers. He explains, “I can’t see much when reading. Paperwork needs to be much larger, often in size 72 font. It’s not impossible to see, but I need changes in everyday life.” To help with his education, Charlie used a laptop for schoolwork and had models and graphs to feel and understand during lessons. He also worked closely with teachers to ensure he got the needed help from them in class, like receiving PowerPoint presentations before lessons began. Despite the help he received, Charlie faced a lot of bullying, especially in secondary school. At the start of Year 10, things got so bad that he didn’t want to go to school. The school even held an assembly to explain his vision problem to other students. For example, his eyes don’t always look where he’s actually focusing, which sometimes led to misunderstandings with classmates. One particularly difficult situation happened in his science class. Some students thought he was staring at them, even though they were across the room and he couldn’t see them. Because of this, Charlie was required to switch classes but decided against it. He had already established good communication with his science teacher about his needs and thought, “Why should I be the one to move?” Charlie considered leaving school completely but chose to stay after weighing the advantages and disadvantages. A teacher advised him to pay no attention to the bullies, saying that in the future, he would realize it was the best choice. Although it was hard at the time, Charlie now understands that things are getting easier and easier in the long run. Charlie’s advice to others facing similar challenges is ________. 1．Explain “VI” in your own words according to the writer’s description.

Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death. Who would do a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy. “I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day,” That’s quite an understatement (保守说法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames (火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training. Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic (恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply. His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, structural design, and chemical reactions. They practice quickly assessing (评估) the changing conditions of a fire. Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire. 1．Firefighters have to get ready within sixty seconds after hearing the alarm, don’t they? 2．When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter? 3．Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter? 4．What physical training does a firefighter take? Give an example. 5．How can a firefighter survive a big fire? 6．Does Sam Telfer love the job as a firefighter? Give your reason. （2025·上海静安·一模）In the quiet town of Elmwood, Detective Lily was known for her intelligent mind.

Now I want to go out and do something to make a change in my community and become an activist myself! So I wonder: What does it take to be an activist? How did you start? Can I become one? Yours, Carolina Dear Carolina, Anyone can become an activist if there’s an issue they feel strongly about. I started speaking up about disabilities because I know what it was like to have one and to be treated differently because of it. When I was little, I wondered why toy figures didn’t look like me. So at the age of ten, I wrote to ask a big company to do something about this problem. I spoke about it on the news, and I even did a TED Talk about it. After more than a year of using my voice, I got to work with a design team on a Barbie doll that uses a prosthetic leg (假肢). That experience showed me that the more I spoke up, the more changes I might be able to make. Sometimes, being an activist means stepping up and speaking up in a more public way than you normally would. Taking risks is a big part of being an activist. Your age doesn’t matter. I know so many kids who are fighting for change. Mari Copeny, 13, is making sure people have safe drinking water. Haven Coleman and Taylor Richardson are both teenagers. Haven is raising awareness of climate change, and Taylor is making sure that girls around the world are involved in STEAM education. If you really care about an issue, learn as much as you can about it and find creative ways to speak up. Maybe it’s writing a letter to the editor of your local paper. Maybe it’s creating a club at your school or in your neighborhood. You can work with other kids to unite your voices so as to be able to make a change. You don’t have to do something as big as creating a new toy or speaking in front of a crowd. If you help even one person learn and change, you’ve made a big difference! Yours, Jordan Reeves 1．Carolina wrote a letter to Jordan, didn’t she? 2．What did Carolina want to do? 3．Why did Jordan Reeves start speaking up about disabilities? 4．What did Jordan learn from producing a new toy? 5．Why does Jordan list the examples of Mari Copeny, Haven Coleman and Taylor Richardson? 6．What change would you like to make most in your school or community?

In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes. Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet lesson. “How I wish I could do something different today,” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. “How would you like to be me for a day?” they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen’s ballet dress while Karen put Grace’s brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes. When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn’t dare to hand in her work.

Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, “Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can’t rely on copying what others are doing.” When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired out.

I searched for any kind of shelter and found a small empty doghouse. Lying in it, I heard footsteps approaching, but I was too sick to lift my head. A family found me and stopped. Then I got wrapped (包裹) in a thick jacket, carefully and gently. A woman picked me up. She lowered her head looking at me. I could see the worry and sadness in her eyes. “Honey, dogs are everywhere in this area. We can’t save all of them,” said the man. He was right. There were so many of us—homeless and forgotten. The woman replied, “She can’t even stand up. How can we turn our back on such a poor life?” After a moment of silence, the man finally agreed. They soon took me to a nearby pet clinic. I started to believe every dog has its day. But my body told a different story. My legs were broken, my teeth were worn down, and my eyes were clouded. The vet said I had heartworm (犬心丝虫), and it was getting worse because of my age. He suggested letting me pass away naturally. “That will never happen,” the woman refused. After getting back home, she cared for me as if I were her baby. She named me “Pretty Girl”. She allowed me to live inside and prepared the soft bed for me. I ate real food, something I had never tasted. When I didn't want to take medicine, she patted (轻拍) me and encouraged me. Days went by, and now, look at me! I can run fast and jump high. My legs are strong and powerful, and ________. What a truly pretty girl! Every afternoon, I follow the family around the garden, watching over them. In the evening, my family always take me for a relaxing walk.

I was very upset because I’d packed my phone in that backpack, along with my travel diary. I knew I would never see my new phone again. Weeks passed, and then months. At first, I contacted the train company every week, but after some time, it was clear that my backpack was never going to be found. After a while, I forgot all about it. Last month, I took the train to Florence on a school trip. Unbelievably, my backpack went missing again! I searched and searched, but it was nowhere to be seen!

Growing up was tough for him, especially since he faced unfriendly comments from others. This experience taught Charlie the importance of good communication with both teachers and peers. He explains, “I can’t see much when reading. Paperwork needs to be much larger, often in size 72 font. It’s not impossible to see, but I need changes in everyday life.” To help with his education, Charlie used a laptop for schoolwork and had models and graphs to feel and understand during lessons. He also worked closely with teachers to ensure he got the needed help from them in class, like receiving PowerPoint presentations before lessons began. Despite the help he received, Charlie faced a lot of bullying, especially in secondary school. At the start of Year 10, things got so bad that he didn’t want to go to school. The school even held an assembly to explain his vision problem to other students. For example, his eyes don’t always look where he’s actually focusing, which sometimes led to misunderstandings with classmates. One particularly difficult situation happened in his science class. Some students thought he was staring at them, even though they were across the room and he couldn’t see them. Because of this, Charlie was required to switch classes but decided against it. He had already established good communication with his science teacher about his needs and thought, “Why should I be the one to move?” Charlie considered leaving school completely but chose to stay after weighing the advantages and disadvantages.

Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death. Who would do a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy. “I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day,” That’s quite an understatement (保守说法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames (火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training. Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic (恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply. His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, structural design, and chemical reactions. They practice quickly assessing (评估) the changing conditions of a fire. Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire. 1．Firefighters have to get ready within sixty seconds after hearing the alarm, don’t they? 2．When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter? 3．Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter? 4．What physical training does a firefighter take?

What you did was so inspiring! Now I want to go out and do something to make a change in my community and become an activist myself! So I wonder: What does it take to be an activist? How did you start? Can I become one? Yours, Carolina Dear Carolina, Anyone can become an activist if there’s an issue they feel strongly about. I started speaking up about disabilities because I know what it was like to have one and to be treated differently because of it. When I was little, I wondered why toy figures didn’t look like me. So at the age of ten, I wrote to ask a big company to do something about this problem. I spoke about it on the news, and I even did a TED Talk about it. After more than a year of using my voice, I got to work with a design team on a Barbie doll that uses a prosthetic leg (假肢). That experience showed me that the more I spoke up, the more changes I might be able to make. Sometimes, being an activist means stepping up and speaking up in a more public way than you normally would. Taking risks is a big part of being an activist. Your age doesn’t matter. I know so many kids who are fighting for change. Mari Copeny, 13, is making sure people have safe drinking water. Haven Coleman and Taylor Richardson are both teenagers. Haven is raising awareness of climate change, and Taylor is making sure that girls around the world are involved in STEAM education. If you really care about an issue, learn as much as you can about it and find creative ways to speak up. Maybe it’s writing a letter to the editor of your local paper. Maybe it’s creating a club at your school or in your neighborhood. You can work with other kids to unite your voices so as to be able to make a change. You don’t have to do something as big as creating a new toy or speaking in front of a crowd. If you help even one person learn and change, you’ve made a big difference! Yours, Jordan Reeves 1．Carolina wrote a letter to Jordan, didn’t she? 2．What did Carolina want to do? 3．Why did Jordan Reeves start speaking up about disabilities? 4．What did Jordan learn from producing a new toy? 5．Why does Jordan list the examples of Mari Copeny, Haven Coleman and Taylor Richardson? 6．What change would you like to make most in your school or community? How do you plan to make it? 【答案】1．Yes, she did. 2．She wanted to make a change in her community and become an activist. 3．Because Jordan knew what it was like to have a disability and to be treated differently because of it. 4．Jordan learned that the more he spoke up, the more changes he might be able to make. 5．Because he wanted to tell Carolina that her age didn’t matter. 6．I want to do something to make a change in the small park in my community. Because there’s lots of rubbish in the small park in our community. First, I would write to the leaders of my community and tell them it’s a good idea to plant some flowers in the park. Then, I would invite some friends to the park and we would spend some time collecting the rubbish and then put up some “No littering” signs in the park.
