In Switzerland, a variety of unique festivals take place throughout the year, each offering a distinct cultural experience and unforgettable moments for locals and visitors alike. The following are three typical festivals.
Fête des Vignerons, Vevey
The Fête des Vignerons takes place every 20 years in Vevey, which is full of activities, history and centuries-old traditions and was the first Swiss intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) included into the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016. The latest festival was held from 18 July to 11 August 2019.
Fête de la Musique, Geneva
Fête de la Musique runs annually, taking over the streets of Lausanne every summer. Over 50 places show off musicians from across the globe, celebrating a range of music. It is worth noting that most roads are blocked during the festival, and it is best to travel by public transport. The Geneva Fête de la Musique this year was held from 22-27 June.
Grindelwald World Snow Festival
Every year sculptors from all over the world gather in Grindelwald. During this six-day festival, the streets of the snowy town become an awesome museum with temporary creations decorating every corner. The white statues are greatly attractive to both locals and tourists.

“It’s like riding a bike” is a common comment when you want to remind someone that it’s hard to forget a basic skill. But what if you don’t know how to ride a bike?
This was something Annette Kruger, an avid (热衷的) cyclist, saw that was true for many women in Berlin, including refugees, who’d moved to there. Whether they weren’t allowed or didn’t have the opportunity to learn, these women had never experienced the health benefits and independence that cycling offers.
That is why, seven years ago, Kruger started Bikeygees, a non-profit organization focused on teaching women to ride a bike. The group members gather for two hours for training sessions every week. Advanced riders can borrow bikes and helmets for free to practise on their own.
The group also teaches women how to fix bikes, instilling (逐步培养) a sense of self-sufficiency, says Kruger. If they can do bike repairs, ride and learn the German rules of the road, they are awarded with a bike kit, including a bike, a helmet, a bike lock and bike tools. More than 500 bikes have been donated so far, and Kruger says the goal is to eventually provide all participants with their own bikes. To date, the group has taught more than 1,400 women and has met in more than 20 locations within Germany, including in emergency shelters.
Participants have said that riding a bike allows them not only freedom of movement — some of the women use them to bring their children to school — but also hope for the future. Kruger says that she can see the impact that concentrating on a new skill has on the women. “We can’t replace what someone lost in their life, but we can offer something new. The success is measured in the smiles of the riders when they conquer another bike skill.” She recalls one student in her 60s who continued to practice through a bitter winter. She said, “This is a dream for me. I have been waiting my whole life to do this.”
24. What did the women in Berlin obtain from Bikeygees?
A. Opportunities to learn German. B. Chances to move away from Berlin.
C. Attention to their living conditions. D. Fitness and freedom to get around.
25. What do we learn about the Bikeygees project?
A. It becomes increasingly popular. B. It has made large profits.
C. It offers more bikes than needed. D. It allows beginners to practise individually.
26 Which is a benefit for the participants from the last paragraph?
A. A fund for women. B. The capacity to earn money.
C. The freedom of their children. D. A prospect of future life.
27. Which of the following best describes Annette Kruger?
A. Energetic. B. Caring. C. Humorous. D. Honest.
C
The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics. But Masters in the Forbidden City (《我在故宫修文物》) does not just focus on the stories of the past. Instead, the documentary movie, which came out in Chinese cinemas on 16 December, focuses on ordinary people — the restorers of relics and antiquities (古董).
The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace, reflecting the restorers’ work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.
“If you choose this job, you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin, an ancient clock repair expert.
A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill, but also faith and spirit,” China Daily commented. “Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance, loneliness... all these qualities come from the craftsman spirit. ”
But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers. They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.
One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says, “The last person to do this was Pu Yi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”
Masters in the Forbidden City has proved many people’s wrong ideas about antique restorers, allowing them to realise that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.
28. Why is the documentary movie made?
A. To show people how antiques are restored.
B. To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people.
C. To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers’ lives.
D. To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers.
29. What does Wang Jin mean in paragraph 3?
A. He often gets tired with his work.
B. There is no need to do restoration work fast.
C. Antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful.
D. It takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration.
30. What does the underlined word “humdrum” most probably mean?
A. Boring. B. Different. C. Relaxing. D. Unusual.
31. What’s the purpose of the bicycle-riding scene in the movie?
A. To remind the audience of the last Qing emperor.
B. To show the strange hobbies of young antique restorers.
C. To encourage the young to consider a career in antique restoration in the future.
D. To show that the documentary breaks from the old, dull image of antique restorers.
D
Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows.
“It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.”
The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans.
The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.”
Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.”
32. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods?
A. They fall short of expectations. B. They are more accurate than before.
C. They are distinct from each other. D. They show consistent conclusions.
33. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons.
C. By employing computer modeling. D. By conducting drug experiments.
34. What did the researchers find about the SCG?
A. It is in charge of motor system. B. It can be measured by the GDS.
C. Dancing slows down its functioning. D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal.
35. What is the best title of the text?
A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing: Multiple Benefits To Be Seen
C. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits D. Dancing: A Journey To Mental Well-being

Sharing is regarded as both a social morality and a personal virtue. It is a wonderful thing that increases pleasure and reduces sorrow. Then why do we tend to be happier when sharing with others? ____36____
Sharing is Fundamental to Human Relationships
We have shared with others since the beginning of civilization and interaction.

Trust and happiness are closely related experience.
Sharing Helps Build You a Social Network
Humans are social animals.____40____ If we happen to have encouraging and supportive friends and family to rely on, we are less prone (倾向于) to anxiety and depression.

8-year-old Evan was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter opening her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”.
85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day.
Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan? Do you want flowers?” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me?”
“A job?” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him.
Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me?” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded.
Then for a whole week Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better.
A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan? I’d be delighted to have you here.”
“I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph1:
Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom.

Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter.

W: No worries. My cousin is a skilled navigator and an expert with instruments. She can fix your compass, hand it over and if you return by three, it should be set to guide you correctly, all being well.
M: Fantastic. And while I’m here, could I purchase some of those exceptional spices? My cook would take pleasure in them.

【原文】M: Have you considered moving out, Jenna?
W: Sort of, but I think my parents enjoy my company at home. Plus the financial support is the biggest challenge. How about you?
M: Not really. I’m still loving the home cooked meals too much and without rent I can save for future investments.
W: Do you and your parents share household expenses?
M: Yes, we do. It’s cheaper than renting an apartment, right? Plus, it feels good to contribute.
W: Exactly. The only less positive aspect is my dad’s constant questions about my plans. It’s the same every day. I suppose it’s his way of showing he cares, but it can be a bit much.
M: Parents do that out of concern. You need to understand them. I get the same from mine but I can’t imagine what will happen if I leave them alone. But if they need me? Plus, it’s not just about the money, it’s about the support system.
W: Yeah, that’s a tough thought. But there’s also the aspect of independence to consider.

W: Here, put it on this table. Now where can I put mine?
M: There’s space next to Harry’s Solar system model.
W: I can’t leave it there.
M: Why not?
W: There’s a heater right underneath. All my plants will die if they get too hot. And then all my hard work will be wasted.
M: Good point. Hmm, there aren’t many other options, though this place is almost full. Maybe you could put it on the teacher’s desk.
W: No, I’d better not. It will get in her way. Oh dear, I knew I should have brought my project in sooner.
M: Don’t worry. You put your plants here on the table and I’ll move my project to the shelf above the heater.
W: Oh, that’s kind. Are you sure?
M: Of course.

【原文】 W: Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a great pleasure to talk to you about a remarkable film festival that has introduced high quality cinema to the world. The festival I’m referring to is CineMajestic. CineMajestic festival was first planned in the late 1960s. At the very beginning, it was intended to be a small independent gathering of filmmakers and film lovers. It was designed to present creative and innovative films that might not find a home in more mainstream festivals. This vision became a reality when the first CineMajestic festival was held in 1973 and it immediately gained recognition. What makes CineMajestic different from other film festivals is its efforts in the art of storytelling. It’s a festival that doesn’t follow trends or commercial pressure. Instead, it celebrates the most important quality of cinema and the creative voices that define it. CineMajestic belief in finding hidden, precious aspects is truly inspiring. The films vary widely in terms of type and style. You’ll find something from inspiring documentaries to creative experimental films. But character driven dramas often shine here. The festival has been a platform for films that challenge conventions and take artistic risks. This year’s selection at CineMajestic was extremely interesting. What impressed me most was the diversity of voices and stories on display. There were films from all corners of the globe. I was particularly moved by the film The Silent Journey, a story about a young boy’s adventure in a ruined world.

“It’s like riding a bike” is a common comment when you want to remind someone that it’s hard to forget a basic skill. But what if you don’t know how to ride a bike?
This was something Annette Kruger, an avid (热衷的) cyclist, saw that was true for many women in Berlin, including refugees, who’d moved to there. Whether they weren’t allowed or didn’t have the opportunity to learn, these women had never experienced the health benefits and independence that cycling offers.
That is why, seven years ago, Kruger started Bikeygees, a non-profit organization focused on teaching women to ride a bike. The group members gather for two hours for training sessions every week. Advanced riders can borrow bikes and helmets for free to practise on their own.
The group also teaches women how to fix bikes, instilling (逐步培养) a sense of self-sufficiency, says Kruger. If they can do bike repairs, ride and learn the German rules of the road, they are awarded with a bike kit, including a bike, a helmet, a bike lock and bike tools. More than 500 bikes have been donated so far, and Kruger says the goal is to eventually provide all participants with their own bikes. To date, the group has taught more than 1,400 women and has met in more than 20 locations within Germany, including in emergency shelters.
Participants have said that riding a bike allows them not only freedom of movement — some of the women use them to bring their children to school — but also hope for the future. Kruger says that she can see the impact that concentrating on a new skill has on the women. “We can’t replace what someone lost in their life, but we can offer something new. The success is measured in the smiles of the riders when they conquer another bike skill.” She recalls one student in her 60s who continued to practice through a bitter winter. She said, “This is a dream for me. I have been waiting my whole life to do this.”
24. What did the women in Berlin obtain from Bikeygees?
A. Opportunities to learn German. B. Chances to move away from Berlin.
C. Attention to their living conditions. D. Fitness and freedom to get around.
25. What do we learn about the Bikeygees project?
A. It becomes increasingly popular. B. It has made large profits.
C. It offers more bikes than needed. D. It allows beginners to practise individually.
26. Which is a benefit for the participants from the last paragraph?
A. A fund for women. B. The capacity to earn money.
C. The freedom of their children. D. A prospect of future life.
27. Which of the following best describes Annette Kruger?
A. Energetic. B. Caring. C. Humorous. D. Honest.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第四段中“More than 500 bikes have been donated so far, and Kruger says the goal is to eventually provide all participants with their own bikes. To date, the group has taught more than 1,400 women and has met in more than 20 locations within Germany, including in emergency shelters.(到目前为止,已经捐赠了500多辆自行车,Kruger说,他们的目标是最终为所有参与者提供自己的自行车。迄今为止,该小组已经教了1400多名妇女,并在德国20多个地点举行了会议,包括在紧急避难所)”可推知,Bikeygees组织变得越来越受欢迎。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Participants have said that riding a bike allows them not only freedom of movement — some of the women use them to bring their children to school — but also hope for the future.(参与者说,骑自行车不仅让他们行动自由——一些妇女骑着自行车送孩子上学——而且让他们对未来充满希望)”可知,Bikeygees组织带给参与者的一个好处是让她们对未来充满希望。故选D。

The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics. But Masters in the Forbidden City (《我在故宫修文物》) does not just focus on the stories of the past. Instead, the documentary movie, which came out in Chinese cinemas on 16 December, focuses on ordinary people — the restorers of relics and antiquities (古董).
The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace, reflecting the restorers’ work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.
“If you choose this job you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin, an ancient clock repair expert.
A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill, but also faith and spirit,” China Daily commented. “Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance, loneliness... all these qualities come from the craftsman spirit. ”
But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers. They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.
One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says, “The last person to do this was Pu Yi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”
Masters in the Forbidden City has proved many people’s wrong ideas about antique restorers, allowing them to realise that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.
28. Why is the documentary movie made?
A. To show people how antiques are restored.
B. To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people.
C. To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers’ lives.
D. To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers.
29. What does Wang Jin mean in paragraph 3?
A. He often gets tired with his work.
B. There is no need to do restoration work fast.
C. Antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful.
D. It takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration.
30. What does the underlined word “humdrum” most probably mean?
A. Boring. B. Different. C. Relaxing. D. Unusual.
31. What’s the purpose of the bicycle-riding scene in the movie?
A To remind the audience of the last Qing emperor.
B. To show the strange hobbies of young antique restorers.
C. To encourage the young to consider a career in antique restoration in the future.
D. To show that the documentary breaks from the old, dull image of antique restorers.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了纪录片《我在故宫修文物》所反映出的中国古董修复师的工匠精神。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段“Instead, the documentary movie, which came out in Chinese cinemas on 16 December, focuses on ordinary people — the restorers of relics and antiquities”。(相反,这部纪录片电影,12月16日在中国影院上映,关注普通民众——文物和文物的修复(古董)。)可知,纪录片《我在故宫修文物》的主要目的是让人们关注中国古董修复师的生活,故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.”( 然而,在一个一切都在快速变化的社会里,这些修复者的耐心和平和尤为珍贵。)可知,王进的话就是解释这一点,在他看来古董修复师需要耐心和平和,故选C项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill, but also faith and spirit,” China Daily commented.”(纪录片中令人感动的部分是修复者们的工匠精神。“多年的humdrum工作不仅需要技能,还需要信念和精神,”《中国日报》评论道。)及“Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance, loneliness... all these qualities come from the craftsman spirit. ”(追求严谨和完美,全身心投入工作,耐心,忍耐,孤独……, 所有这些品质都来自于工匠精神”),可看出文物修复工作不仅仅是信念,还需要耐心,忍耐,孤独。可推知这份工作是枯燥的,故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says, “The last person to do this was Pu Yi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”( 一个在网民中非常受欢迎的场景是,一位年轻的女修复师周一骑着自行车穿过空无一人的紫禁城。当她这样做的时候,旁白说,“最后一个这样做的人是清朝的最后一个皇帝溥仪。”)可知,纪录片中的自行车骑行场景用来表明纪录片打破了古老的沉闷图像,故选D。
D
Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows.
“It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.”
The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans.
The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.”
Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.”
32. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods?
A. They fall short of expectations. B. They are more accurate than before.
C. They are distinct from each other. D. They show consistent conclusions.
33. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons.
C. By employing computer modeling. D. By conducting drug experiments.
34. What did the researchers find about the SCG?
A. It is in charge of motor system. B. It can be measured by the GDS.
C. Dancing slows down its functioning. D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal.
35. What is the best title of the text?
A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing: Multiple Benefits To Be Seen
C. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits D. Dancing: A Journey To Mental Well-being
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了跳舞能缓解帕金森患者的抑郁症状。

细节理解题。由文章第二段中“These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods. (参与者也通过调查报告了这些改善。我们的研究是首次通过这两种检测方法证明这些益处。)”可知,这两种检测方法得出的结论是一致的。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. (他们使用老年抑郁量表(GDS)在每节课前后测量参与者的情绪和抑郁程度,并定期进行MRI扫描。)”可知,研究者们是通过做前后对比来进行研究的。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段中““We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. (“我们发现,跳舞时SCG的血氧水平依赖(BOLD)信号减弱,这意味着SCG的活动不如抑郁状态下那么活跃,”DeSouza说道。)”可知,研究者们发现跳舞会减缓SCG的功能。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段“Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. (一项新研究显示,跳舞能减轻帕金森病相关的抑郁症状,其益处体现在多个方面。)”可知,本文主要讲述了跳舞能够缓解帕金森患者的抑郁症状,“Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues (跳舞驱散帕金森的忧郁)”最适合作文章标题。故选A。

8-year-old Evan was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter opening her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”.
85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day.
Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan? Do you want flowers?” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me?”
“A job?” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him.
Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me?” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded.
Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better.
A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan? I’d be delighted to have you here.”
“I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph1:
Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom.

Paragraph2:
Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom. “Happy birthday, Mom!” he cried, running up to her. Stacey was shocked at the huge bouquet. “Where did you get it?” she asked. When Evan told the whole story, Stacey was delighted and hugged her son closely. Evan smiled and was about to give her the bouquet when he suddenly noticed the envelope. He pulled it out and found the money in it. “But I told Mrs. Carter not to pay me! I think this got here by mistake!” said Evan.
Paragraph 2:
Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. When they reached her shop and were about to return the money, Mrs. Carter smiled and said, “It’s my pay for Evan. He did a very good job. Keep it. The flowers are my gift for you.” Stacey was grateful for Mrs. Carter’s kindness and invited her home for dinner that night to celebrate her birthday together. From then on, Stacey started to join Evan in helping Mrs. Carter in her shop and they became friends.

This vision became a reality when the first cinema justice festival was held in one eighteen seventy three, and IT immediately gained recognition. What makes cinematic stic different from other film festivals is its efforts in the art of story telling. It's a festival that doesn't follow friends or commercial pressure. Instead, IT celebrates the most important quality of cinema and the creative voices that define IT cinematic ccs. Belief in finding hidden precious aspects is truly inspiring the films very widely in terms of type and style. You'll find something from inspiring documentaries to creative experimental films, but character driven dramas often shine here. The festival has been a platform for a films that chAllenge conventions and take artistic risks. This year's election at cinema justice was extremely interesting. What impressed me most was the diversity of voices and stories on display. There were films from all corners of the globe. I was particularly moved by the film the silent journey, a story about a Young boy's adventure in a ruined world.
