Everyone in Caitlin’s class in America had to choose a pen friend from another country. All the other kids picked countries like France or Germany, but Caitlin chose Martin because his country, Zimbabwe (津巴布韦), sounded exotic (异国风情的) and cool.
Martin lived with his family in one of Zimbabwe’s worst slums (贫民窟) where they shared one room with another family. And a bed was their only piece of furniture.
When Caitlin’s first letters reached Martin, they were simple. The two kids wrote just about their favorite music and what they liked to do. But as Martin gradually revealed more about his own life and his letters started arriving written on pieces of rubbish. Caitlin realized what the living conditions were like for Martin. Without telling her parents, she began sending money with her letters—$20 at a time. Although the money was not much to Caitlin, it meant more food for Martin’s family and helped him to pay his school fees.
It lasted six years from their first exchange letters to Martin’s arrival in the United States. With the help of the money from Caitlin’s parents later on, Martin finished his university and got his MBA from Duke University.

48. The party was wonderful and all of us enjoyed ________. (our)
【答案】ourselves
【解析】
【详解】句意:派对非常棒,我们所有人都玩得很开心。“enjoy oneself”是固定短语,意为“玩得开心,过得愉快”。这里主语是“all of us”,对应的反身代词是“ourselves”。故填ourselves。
49. I have two ________. I use them to cut apples. (knife)
【答案】knives
【解析】
【详解】句意:我有两把刀。我用它们切苹果。根据空前的“two”可知,应填所给名词knife“刀子”的复数形式knives,作动词的宾语。故填knives。
50. When we make important ________ , we can ask our parents for advice. (decide)
【答案】decisions
【解析】

What can you do if you are retired (退休的)? “Shared-grandmas” is a team of retired women. They live in the southwest of China. They help the working parents to pick up the children from school and help the kids with their homework. These working parents have no relatives or friends to help them, so they feel really thankful for what “shared-grandmas” do.
Deng, 66, is a member of the team who took part in the program. Every workday, she picks up the children from school, and stays with them while they finish their homework and play in the community (社区) room until their parents pick them up. “I thought I had nothing to do with the volunteer job because of my age. However, what a difference the job makes to my life! Now I feel young with the kids and my life is more meaningful.” she said. She thinks the activity is great and worth developing in other places in the country. “The retired women are encouraged in the community to take part in this public service. The interactions (互动) between the families in need and ‘shared-grandmas’ are both helpful. The feeling of happiness means a lot to them.” Peng Mei, from Shiping community, said.
The “shared-grandmas” program began in Chengdu in 2019. Since then, it has created a new style of public happiness—taking care of the young and cheering the old up.

Without telling her parents, she began sending money with her letters—$20 at a time. Although the money was not much to Caitlin, it meant more food for Martin’s family and helped him to pay his school fees.
It lasted six years from their first exchange letters to Martin’s arrival in the United States. With the help of the money from Caitlin’s parents later on, Martin finished his university and got his MBA from Duke University.
