The epicenter was in Mandalay, the second-largest city in Myanmar. The earthquake destroyed many buildings and resulted in more than 1,000 deaths. Even Bangkok, which is 600 miles away, felt the shaking and saw damage, including a skyscraper that fell down. How did the earthquake happen? The movements of different plates on Earth create stress and cause earthquakes. The following Earthquake Diagram explains how earthquakes happen. The earthquake in Myanmar comes from the ongoing crashing between the Indian Ocean Plate and the Eurasian Plate. Myanmar lies where these two big plates meet. That’s why Myanmar often feels the effects of these powerful natural events. The Earthquake Diagram ①The fault line (the place where two tectonic plates meet) ②The tectonic plates (two tectonic plates moving sideways) ③The epicenter (It is on the ground above the focus. This is where the earthquake shakes the most and makes the biggest impact.) ④The focus (It is where the pressure builds up.) ⑤Shock waves (vibrations, spread out in all directions) What should we do if earthquake happens? If You Are Indoors: * Stay Calm: The first thing to do is to stay calm. Don’t panic. * Find Shelter: Quickly move under a table or desk. Hold on to the legs of the furniture to protect your head and body from falling objects. Stay away from windows and glass doors. * Stay Put: If you are in a small room like a bathroom or closet, stay there until the shaking stops. * Avoid lift: Do not use the lift during an earthquake. Use the stairs to get to a safe place. If You Are Outdoors: Quickly move to an open space like a park or a playground. Stay away from dangerous objects such as walls, fences, trees or bridges, After the Earthquake: * Be Prepared for Aftershocks: There might be smaller earthquakes. Stay alert and be prepared to take cover again. * Check for Injuries: Help others if you can, but be careful not to put yourself in danger. 33.

With so many great ones to choose from, we’ve picked three of them for you. Let’s take a look together! Orion and the Dark 《奥利安与黑暗》 Release Date: Feb 2, 2024 Orion has a great many fears − but he’s especially afraid of the dark. So you can imagine his surprise when an embodiment (化身) of the dark shows up to take him on an adventure to show him there’s nothing to be afraid of. The Netflix movie is based on a book by Emma Yarlett, but the script (剧本) was written by someone who knows a thing or two about writing movies about anxieties (焦虑): Charlie Kaufman, the writer behind Being John Malkovich. Robot Dreams 《机器人之梦》 Release Date: May 31, 2024 This film, based on the comic by Sara Varon, received an Oscar nomination (提名) for Best Animated Feature. (It lost to The Boy and the Heron.) It’s about an anthropomorphic (拟人化的) dog who, to help with feeling lonely, orders a robot to be his friend. The lack (缺少) of words and overall sadness give the impression that it’s not exactly aimed at (以......为目标) kids, but the older ones might get into it. Mufasa: The Lion King 《木法沙：狮子王》 Release Date: Dec 20, 2024 Barry Jenkins, the Oscar-nominated director of Moonlight, directs a prequel (前传) to The Lion King about Mufasa (voiced by Aaron Pierre) and his relationship with Scar (Kelvin Harrison, Jr). Don’t expect 2D animation similar to the original, though: This one will be done in a realistic-looking CGI (电脑成像技术) style, similar to the 2019 remake of The Lion King, and Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner even reprise (重新出演) their roles as Timon and Pumbaa. 26.

Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had come to the top. I would go out and see the sunrise. Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to run away. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea.” “I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained, “I have made diving suits that used special air tanks before I sent you the note. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. Wonderful, isn’t it?” He said he had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We went through it, and we were on the sea floor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. As we were a hundred metres under the water, we could still see quite well. Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” there were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees. Three hours later, we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but very sleepy.

Does this sound interesting? This is what Chen Lei, a comic painter, is doing. He wants to help spread knowledge through comic books. “In the middle school, I had no interest in history,” Chen said. “I couldn’t remember historical facts even though I studied hard.” However, in college, Chen played a computer game about a period of history which aroused his interest in it. “I had no knowledge of the characters and historical background of the game, so I read lots of books about the history of that period,” Chen said.

The job is quite difficult. “Besides basic drawing skills, you must have a strong ability to learn independently and think logically (合逻辑地),” Chen said. “I have to have professional knowledge from many different fields.” In 2021, Chen and his team, along with other experts, wrote a comic book about the history of the Communist Party of China. It took them almost six months to study the materials. Also they drew many mind maps to make the information clearer to them. So far, Chen Lei and his team have published (出版) many books, selling over tens of millions of copies. Chen’s brand “Hunzhi” has also had millions of followers on social media platforms (平台). 33.

Li Hua shook his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea. So he took it away and brought him a glass of milk. Li Hua shook his head again. He was very hungry then and looked sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant when another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands on his stomach. In a few minutes, there was a large plate of bread and meat on the table in front of him. Li Hua saw how the other person easily showed he was hungry by touching his stomach, and then got a big meal quickly. Li Hua thought this was a good idea.

That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画) which were drawn by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit. In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a land-scape (风景) painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was im-pressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said, “Those two books were my companions (伙伴) by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist. 33. What is the passage mainly about? A. Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia. B. Williams’s influence on Benjamin. C. The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist. D. The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington. 34. What can we infer (推断) from the paragraph 3? A. The cat would be closely watched. B.

What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent? A. He gave him some painting materials. B. He took him to see painting shows. C. He sent him to a school in Philadelphia. D. He taught him how to make engravings. 36. Williams’s two books helped Benjamin to ________. A. master the use of paints B. make up his mind to be a painter C. get to know other painters D. appreciate landscape paintings Passage 6（2023-24·深圳龙华区期末考） Zhang Fubai, 70, is a follower of sugar painting-the intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Tianjin. He received the sweet business from his father, who was also a sugar painter. “When I was a little boy, the children in the neighborhood would ask my father for sugar paintings.” he said. At 9, he began to copy the flowers and insects his father painted, and would even try to create sugar paintings himself. “I thought it was fun, but I never hoped to become a sugar painter myself.” In 1966, he finished middle school and became a carpenter (木匠) and part-time tailor (裁缝), and worked on all kinds of drawings. He didn’t make up his mind to join the family business until 1980. In the following years, he would spend days seeing small animals in the fields and rivers. The time he spent on watching these things and years of experience as a carpenter and tailor helped him improve his painting skills. Zhang is never short of buyers because he has created close to 200 sugar painting styles, and he creates new styles every one or two years. If his buyers ask him for something he doesn’t know, he will search on the Internet and try to design the styles in his head. For now, he is quite worried about passing on the art. “Few young people are interested in learning sugar painting,” he said, “I hope the younger generation can pay more attention to the intangible heritage. It will sweeten their lives, I promise.” 16. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph two refer to? A. Draw pictures about flowers and insects. B. Paint with children in his neighborhood. C. Copy and create different sugar paintings. D. See his father paint flowers and insects. 17. What’s the main idea of paragraph three? A. Zhang decided to give up the family business. B. Zhang had no interest in sugar painting at all. C. Zhang enjoyed spending time watching animals. D. Zhang’s jobs helped his sugar painting creation. 18. What will Zhang do when he needed to paint something unknown? A. Refuse to draw the pictures politely. B. Try to draw some similar things. C. Ask other great sugar painters for help. D. Search online and design it in his mind. 19. What can we learn from Zhang’s words in the last paragraph? A. Learning sugar painting will make our lives sweeter. B. The young are wished to pass on the intangible heritage. C. The future of the sugar painting is not worrying. D. Young people show great interest in intangible heritage. 20. In which part of newspaper can we probably find this passage? A. Science. B. Nature. C. Environment. D. Culture. Passage 7（2023-24·深圳龙岗区区龙城高级中学期末考） Over one hundred years ago, there lived a man named Phileas Fogg. For many years, he led a very quiet life. He spent every day at his club, which was where rich men went to meet their friends. Every morning, he left his house at exactly 11:30 and walked 576 steps to his club. Then he ate lunch.

When one friend bet (打赌) that it couldn’t be done, Fogg replied, “I will bet twenty thousand pounds that I can go around the world in eighty days or less!” Everyone thought he was crazy but Fogg had made up his mind. “I shall be back on December 21st,” he said. As soon as he arrived home, Fogg asked Passepartout, his butler (男管家), to pack a small bag. Luckily, Passepartout moved very quickly.

She enjoys singing, cooking, and hanging out with her friends. But very much unlike other teenagers of her age, she is now studying biological science at university. She is more than ten years younger than the other medical students. Alena has had a strong interest in STEM-science, technology, engineering, and math from an early age.

When she was in fifth grade, she started to attend high school-level courses online after school. “Taking extra classes was more of a pleasure than a pain,” Alena said. She is also interested in novels such as To Kill a Mockingbird. But you are wrong if you think Alena is just a bookworm. In addition to schoolwork, the girl has created the “Brown STEM Girls” program. These days, women make up 28 percent of the science workforce in the US. Among them, only about five percent are women of color. Alena wants to change this. Through the program, she is trying to create a path to success for all girls like her. As Alena’s teacher said, what really sets the girl apart from the other teenagers is not her brain but her heart. Alena always wants to help and lift others up. Her goal is to use her knowledge and skills to help people in need. Alena hopes to serve as an example to others. She wants to prove that someone’s age, gender, or race should never stand in the way of his or her success. “You can achieve anything as long as you put your heart and mind into it,” she said. “You can do it.

Suddenly, he heard a strange noise coming from a nearby bush. Hoping to find out what was happening, he got near the bush and looked inside. There, he found a little bird with a broken wing, struggling to fly. Sammy felt sorry for the bird and quickly chose to help. He carefully carried the bird back to his comfortable tree hole and tried to cure its wing with leaves and soft grass. Day after day, Sammy gave the bird food and cared for it until its wing got better. As the weeks passed, the bird’s wing grew stronger, and it was finally able to fly again.

Sammy was caught and he didn’t know what to do. Just then, the bird flew by and saw Sammy’s predicament. It quickly flew to the nearby animals and asked for help. It took the animals quite a long time to, together, clear the branches and free Sammy from the hole. Sammy felt so thankful and found that his kindness had come back to him in the most surprising way.

How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight (视力)? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days. On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep. On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies. The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight permanent (永久的) night would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen. I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again…But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant. （Adapted from “Three Days to See” by Helen Keller） 47. What makes the writer start imagining the three days? A. Walking in the woods. B. Asking herself questions. C. Seeing natural beauty. D. Touching interesting things. 48. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. A description of different senses. B. A method of living a pleasant life. C. Encouragement to the blind people. D.

Which of the following sayings may the writer agree with? A. Time is what we want most, but what we use worst. B. Never leave until tomorrow what you can do today. C. Live every moment and be thankful for what you have. D.

The epicenter was in Mandalay, the second-largest city in Myanmar. The earthquake destroyed many buildings and resulted in more than 1,000 deaths. Even Bangkok, which is 600 miles away, felt the shaking and saw damage, including a skyscraper that fell down. How did the earthquake happen? The movements of different plates on Earth create stress and cause earthquakes. The following Earthquake Diagram explains how earthquakes happen. The earthquake in Myanmar comes from the ongoing crashing between the Indian Ocean Plate and the Eurasian Plate. Myanmar lies where these two big plates meet. That’s why Myanmar often feels the effects of these powerful natural events. The Earthquake Diagram ①The fault line (the place where two tectonic plates meet) ②The tectonic plates (two tectonic plates moving sideways) ③The epicenter (It is on the ground above the focus. This is where the earthquake shakes the most and makes the biggest impact.) ④The focus (It is where the pressure builds up.) ⑤Shock waves (vibrations, spread out in all directions) What should we do if earthquake happens? If You Are Indoors: * Stay Calm: The first thing to do is to stay calm. Don’t panic. * Find Shelter: Quickly move under a table or desk. Hold on to the legs of the furniture to protect your head and body from falling objects. Stay away from windows and glass doors. * Stay Put: If you are in a small room like a bathroom or closet, stay there until the shaking stops. * Avoid lift: Do not use the lift during an earthquake. Use the stairs to get to a safe place. If You Are Outdoors: Quickly move to an open space like a park or a playground. Stay away from dangerous objects such as walls, fences, trees or bridges, After the Earthquake: * Be Prepared for Aftershocks: There might be smaller earthquakes. Stay alert and be prepared to take cover again. * Check for Injuries: Help others if you can, but be careful not to put yourself in danger. 33. According to the Earthquake Diagram, where is Mandalay exactly located? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 34. Why does Myanmar often suffer from strong earthquakes? A. Because it is on the epicenter. B. Because it lies on the fault line. C. Because it is on the Indian Ocean Plate. D. Because it is 600 miles away from Bangkok. 35. Suppose Li Hua is in the classroom on the fifth floor when an earthquake happens. What should he do first? A. Help others and check their injuries. B. Take the lift to go downstairs. C. Hide next to the window. D. Stay under the desk. 36. Where may this passage come from? A. A safety guide about earthquake. B. A travel guide of Mandalay, Myanmar. C. A geography text book for students. D. A scientific research paper on earthquakes. 【答案】33. C 34. B 35. D 36. A 【解析】本文介绍了地震的成因、缅甸地震的具体情况以及地震发生时的应对措施。 33. 细节理解题。根据“The epicenter was in Mandalay, the second-largest city in Myanmar.”以及“The epicenter (It is on the ground above the focus. This is where the earthquake shakes the most and makes the biggest impact.)”可知震中位于缅甸第二大城市曼德勒。震中是指它位于震源正上方的地面位置，这里是地震震动最为剧烈、影响最大的地方 。因此曼德勒位于图中③位置。故选C。 34. 细节理解题。根据“Myanmar lies where these two big plates meet. That’s why Myanmar often feels the effects of these powerful natural events.”可知，缅甸位于这两大板块的交界处因此常常会受到这些强烈自然灾害的影响。即它位于断层线上。故选B。 35. 细节理解题。根据“If You Are Indoors: * Find Shelter: Quickly move under a table or desk. Hold on to the legs of the furniture to protect your head and body from falling objects.”可知，地震发生时，李华应该躲在桌子下。故选D。 36. 推理判断题。根据文章内容，本文介绍了地震的成因、缅甸地震的具体情况以及地震发生时的应对措施，因此可能来自一本关于地震的安全指南。故选A。 Passage 5（2023-24·海珠区期末考） Do you like cartoons? Here are four interesting and meaningful ones. Raya and the Last Dragon     Kumandra is a rich land. But bad spirits called the Druun attack the people and turn everyone into stones.

With so many great ones to choose from, we’ve picked three of them for you. Let’s take a look together! Orion and the Dark 《奥利安与黑暗》 Release Date: Feb 2, 2024 Orion has a great many fears − but he’s especially afraid of the dark. So you can imagine his surprise when an embodiment (化身) of the dark shows up to take him on an adventure to show him there’s nothing to be afraid of. The Netflix movie is based on a book by Emma Yarlett, but the script (剧本) was written by someone who knows a thing or two about writing movies about anxieties (焦虑): Charlie Kaufman, the writer behind Being John Malkovich. Robot Dreams 《机器人之梦》 Release Date: May 31, 2024 This film, based on the comic by Sara Varon, received an Oscar nomination (提名) for Best Animated Feature. (It lost to The Boy and the Heron.) It’s about an anthropomorphic (拟人化的) dog who, to help with feeling lonely, orders a robot to be his friend. The lack (缺少) of words and overall sadness give the impression that it’s not exactly aimed at (以......为目标) kids, but the older ones might get into it. Mufasa: The Lion King 《木法沙：狮子王》 Release Date: Dec 20, 2024 Barry Jenkins, the Oscar-nominated director of Moonlight, directs a prequel (前传) to The Lion King about Mufasa (voiced by Aaron Pierre) and his relationship with Scar (Kelvin Harrison, Jr). Don’t expect 2D animation similar to the original, though: This one will be done in a realistic-looking CGI (电脑成像技术) style, similar to the 2019 remake of The Lion King, and Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner even reprise (重新出演) their roles as Timon and Pumbaa. 26. Which movie won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature this year? A. Orion and the Dark. B. Robot Dreams. C. The Boy and the Heron. D. Mufasa: The Lion King. 27.

A story between Mufasa and Scar. 【答案】CBD 【解析】文章介绍了三部今年上映的儿童电影，包括《奥利安与黑暗》《机器人之梦》《木法沙：狮子王》的相关信息。 26：根据 “Robot Dreams... received an Oscar nomination (提名) for Best Animated Feature.

She told him, “It seems that you didn’t know about the note your classmate put on your back, but you didn’t seem to care anyway.” Then the teacher looked at the rest of the class and said, “Before I punish you all, let me tell you two things. First, all of you will be labeled (贴标签) at one point or another by other people who don’t want you to succeed. All you have to do is ignore these labels. You have to take every chance you have to learn, grow and improve.” Then the teacher added, “And it seems that none of you are friends with this boy, since none of you were kind enough to tell him about the note.

He asked the rest of his classmates not to tell the boy. The other students started laughing at the boy”（纸条上写着 “我很愚蠢”。他让其他同学不要告诉这个男孩。其他学生开始嘲笑这个男孩），可以看出这个学生把纸条贴在男孩背上是为了取笑他。答案是 D。 2.细节理解题。原文明确提到 “The other students started laughing at the boy, but wouldn’t say why.”（其他学生开始嘲笑这个男孩，但不说为什么）。答案是 C。 3.推理题。由 “First, all of you will be labeled (贴标签) at one point or another by other people who don’t want you to succeed.

Otherwise, you might be the one with a note stuck on your back someday with no one to tell you.”（看起来你们没有人是这个男孩的朋友，因为你们没有一个人好心到告诉他纸条的事。如果这是真的，那么你们最好希望自己有一些好朋友。否则，有一天你可能会成为那个背上贴着纸条却没人告诉你的人）可以推断出，老师想告诉所有学生考虑他人感受是很重要的。答案是 C。 Passage 2 It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had come to the top. I would go out and see the sunrise. Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to run away.

These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. Wonderful, isn’t it?” He said he had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men.

Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” there were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees. Three hours later, we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we explored further. (Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) 29. According to paragraph 1-3, which is NOT true? A.

Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush. The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged (蓬乱). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to tell his father what he had been doing. The cat’s situation was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画) which were drawn by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit. In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a land-scape (风景) painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was im-pressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said, “Those two books were my companions (伙伴) by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist. 33. What is the passage mainly about? A. Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia. B. Williams’s influence on Benjamin. C. The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist. D. The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington. 34. What can we infer (推断) from the paragraph 3? A. The cat would be closely watched. B.

What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent? A. He gave him some painting materials. B. He took him to see painting shows. C. He sent him to a school in Philadelphia. D. He taught him how to make engravings. 36. Williams’s two books helped Benjamin to ________. A. master the use of paints B. make up his mind to be a painter C. get to know other painters D. appreciate landscape paintings 【答案】33. C 34. D 35. A 36.

Sammy was known for his kind and helpful nature. He was always ready to give a hand to anyone in need. One sunny morning, Sammy was busy collecting nuts for the winter. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise coming from a nearby bush. Hoping to find out what was happening, he got near the bush and looked inside. There, he found a little bird with a broken wing, struggling to fly. Sammy felt sorry for the bird and quickly chose to help. He carefully carried the bird back to his comfortable tree hole and tried to cure its wing with leaves and soft grass. Day after day, Sammy gave the bird food and cared for it until its wing got better. As the weeks passed, the bird’s wing grew stronger, and it was finally able to fly again. The bird thanked Sammy cheerfully and promised to help him in return whenever he needed it. Not long after, a terrible storm attacked the forest, and Sammy’s tree hole was blocked by fallen branches. Sammy was caught and he didn’t know what to do. Just then, the bird flew by and saw Sammy’s predicament. It quickly flew to the nearby animals and asked for help. It took the animals quite a long time to, together, clear the branches and free Sammy from the hole. Sammy felt so thankful and found that his kindness had come back to him in the most surprising way.

How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight (视力)? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days. On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep. On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies. The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight permanent (永久的) night would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen. I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again…But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant. （Adapted from “Three Days to See” by Helen Keller） 47.
