Some Famous People With Surprising Achievements
Hedy Lamarr—Wi-Fi
Austrian-born film star Hedy Lamarr was a box-office hit during the Hollywood Golden Age in the late 1930s and early 1940s.During World War II, she worked on a torpedo guidance system which forms the basis of today's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi communications. Patented (获得专利权) in 1942 together with composer George Anthiel, their “frequency hopping” de-vice was used during the war. Surprisingly, neither Lamarr nor Anthiel profited from their invention during their lifetimes.
Uri Geller—Radiation Shield (辐射防护屏)
As an Israeli-British magician, Uri Geller is best-known for using “mind power” to bend spoons on live TV. However, a lesser-known achievement is his invention of a radiation shield to protect cell phone users from the radiation. Patented in 1998, the shield covers the device completely to protect users from the harmful effects of radiation from cell phones and other handheld devices.
Jamie Lee Curtis—Baby Diaper (尿布)
Jamie Lee Curtis was a screen legend. She has featured in many movies during her career. With a busy acting schedule, it's quite surprising that she found time to turn her hand to invention. Curtis actually patented a baby diaper during 1980s, aiming at improving the traditional diaper design.
Gary Burghoff—Fishing Equipment
American actor Gary Burghoff is best-known for his role in the 1970s'TV series M*A*S*H. Burghoff also has a gift for inventing things. He holds two patents for “Chum Magic,” a fishing device that draws fish toward the boat, as well as a fishing pole.

Years ago, I could not stick to exercising until I bought a CD called I Enjoy Exercise. I listened to it every day. I bought the CD because I wanted to run in a race and hopefully win!
I had assured my 10-year-old son Todd that I would run in a race with him. Unfortunately, however, when that race came, his left leg was hurt in a car accident. Without him running with me, although I took part in that race, I didn’t do quite well in it.
While Todd couldn’t run together with me because of his injury (受伤), he never forgot the promise I made for him. He was always asking me whether I would keep my promise when he recovered in the future. So I decided I was going to train and go all out to win the next race. What I needed was motivation (动力). It happened that one of my friends mentioned the CD which he liked very much, saying that he got a lot from the music in it when feeling down. So I bought it and listened to it while exercising every day.
What happened to my thinking was amazing as I listened to it daily. I started to think about the repeated words on the CD — “I enjoy exercise”. Instead of dreading exercise, I was thinking, “I enjoy exercise.”
I found out how important words are that we play in our minds every day. I went from a person who seldom exercised to someone who started to exercise daily. Just think how our lives will improve if we reflect on the uplifting words of the famous works. I have found the positive messages have greatly inspired me and then changed my life.
How did I do in that race, you might be thinking? I actually became the champion in my age group.
4. Why did the author take part in the race by herself?
A. She would like to win the race.
B. She had a good talent for running.
C. Her son got injured in a car accident.
D. Her son was unwilling to run with her.
5. How did the author get the motivation for training?
A. By recalling some inspiring stories.
B. By listening to the CD while running.
C. By getting timely help from her friend.
D. By forcing herself into keeping running.
6. What does the underlined word “dreading” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Fearing. B. Improving.
C. Preferring. D. Taking.
7. What message does the author intend to deliver to us?
A. It’s important to avoid injury while running.
B The uplifting words make a difference to us.
C. Parents should get along well with children.
D. We can build up our bodies by regular exercise.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在一个叫做I enjoy exercise的CD的鼓舞下,从过去不喜欢运动到现在每天都会运动。作者认为振奋人心的话语真地能产生很大的影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Unfortunately, however, when that race came, his left leg was hurt in a car accident.(然而,不幸的是,当比赛开始时,他的左腿在一次车祸中受伤了)”可知,作者的儿子在车祸中伤了左腿,不能参加跑步比赛了。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It happened that one of my friends mentioned the CD which he liked very much, saying that he got a lot from the music in it when feeling down.

Instead of dreading exercise, I was thinking, “I enjoy exercise.”(我开始想起CD上重复的那句话——“我喜欢运动”。我不是害怕运动,而是在想:“我喜欢运动。”)”可知,作者通过在运行时听CD获得了运动的动力。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“I started to think about the repeated words on the CD — “I enjoy exercise”. Instead of (我开始想起CD上重复的那句话——“我喜欢运动”。我不是)”及下文“I was thinking, “I enjoy exercise.”(而是在想:“我喜欢运动。”)可知,dreading exercise和下文是转折关系,也就是说dreading和enjoy(享受)的感情基调是相反的。由此推知,划线词与fearing(害怕)意思接近。故选A。
7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I found out how important words are that we play in our minds every day.(我发现每天都在我们脑海中回响的话语是多么重要)”及“Just think how our lives will improve if we reflect on the uplifting words of the famous works. I have found the positive messages have greatly inspired me and then changed my life.(试想一下,如果我们反思名著中令人振奋的话语,我们的生活将会如何改善。我发现这些积极的信息极大地激励了我,并改变了我的生活)”可推知,作者想要告诉我们振奋人心的话语能产生很大的影响。故选B。
C
In recent years computer scientists have come up with several different ways of creating false videos of people using Artificial Intelligence (AI). These videos are usually called “deepfakes”. Some deepfakes work by putting the face of one person onto a different person in a video. Others work by taking an existing video of a person and changing it so that the person says or does something they didn’t say or do.
At first, creating deepfakes was complex. It required special knowledge, hundreds of pictures of the person who was being faked, and lots of time. Now it’s much simpler. There are websites and apps that allow almost anyone to create deepfakes. An app recently came out which allowed users to put their faces into famous movie scenes. The process takes about eight seconds, requires one picture, and can be done on a mobile phone. One group of computer scientists created a program that allowed them to edit the words coming out of someone’s mouth in a video just like you might edit a document on the computer.
However, the popularity of deepfakes may cause anxieties. It’s one thing to change the faces of famous actors.But what happens if someone puts out a fake video of a politician, for example, making it look like he broke the law? There’s also the problem of the time it takes to figure out that something is fake. Even if a video is proven to be fake, it could be too late.Millions of people might have already seen and believed it.On the other hand, what happens if a video is actually real, but people don’t trust it because they’re told it’s a deepfake?
Many deepfakes are so good that only another AI system can tell that they’re fake. Experts are working hard to create new AI tools that can identify faked videos. Many people are confident that people can defeat deepfakes soon. However, personally, it is very challenging because this technology has always fallen behind the deepfakes.
8. What does the author focus on in the first paragraph?
A. The way deepfakes work. B. The way to create false videos.
C. The way deepfakes are named. D. The way to use Artificial Intelligence.
9. How does the author develop the third paragraph?
A. By making comments. B. By following time order.
C. By providing examples. D. By explaining the difference.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards developing AI tools to identify deepfakes?
A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Worried. D. Critical.
11. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To stress technology development. B. To introduce deepfakes and the effects.
C. To recommend a new application. D. To explain the importance of deepfakes.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了近年来,科学家们想出不同的方法利用AI技术制作人工智能虚假视频Deepfakes,包括它的技术,造成的忧虑。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Some deepfakes work by putting the face of one person onto a different person in a video. Others work by taking an existing video of a person and changing it so that the person says or does something they didn’t say or do.(某些虚假视频通过将一个人的脸放在另一个人的脸上而起作用。其他人则通过拍摄一个人的现有视频并对其进行更改以使该人说或做他们未说或做的事情来工作)”可知,第一段主要讲的是deepfakes如何发挥作用的,故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“the popularity of deepfakes may cause anxieties. (deepfakes的流行可能会引起焦虑)”以及下文中“for example”可知,作者先呈现本段的中心句,然后用多个例子证明deepfakes可能引起担心和忧虑,故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“the popularity of deepfakes may cause anxieties. (deepfakes的流行可能会引起焦虑)”以及最后一段中“However, personally, it is very challenging because this technology has always fallen behind the deepfakes. (然而,这是非常具有挑战性的,因为这项AI识别技术一直落后于deepfakes)”可知,作者持担忧态度,故选 C。
【11题详解】

A group of researchers have developed a new material which is soft but very strong. It can be worn and washed like ordinary clothing and could finally turn sports clothes into smart “wearables”.
The so-called “carbon nanotube threads” (碳纳米管线) can be used to measure heart rate to test heart conditions. But instead of having to be stuck on the skin, they can be fixed on a T-shirt and worn like usual athletic wear. The researchers say the threads can comfortably move with the wearer, and be washed and worn repeatedly without breaking down.
Though going into production for customers is still a long way off, the material could finally help replace some medical facilities, such as the heart-rate monitoring machines and watches, in addition to other possible uses. For the latest study, researchers worked with a rope-maker to make the threads together into a material similar to ordinary thread that could be sewn (缝纫) into athletic clothes. The resulting “smart” shirt provides “soft, wearable, dry sensors for continuous” heart-rate monitoring, the study states. With some improvement, the clothes with these carbon nanotube threads could be able to track other human body life signs, according to the researchers.
The “smart” shirts aren’t entirely without wires (电线), however. One example shows the nanotube in the shirt feeding testing results to wires on the bottom that transmit the information through Bluetooth technology to a computer.
“The threadlike material — thin enough to run through a sewing machine — is not only soft and comfortable to the touch, but also so strong that you can build a powerline out of it,” said Dewy, a member of the research team. “Nothing else behaves like this promising material.”
12. What is the new material expected to do?
A. Make a new style of sportswear. B. Take the place of traditional clothes.
C. Provide measurement for heartbeats. D. Help determine the type of an illness.
13. What does the underlined word “transmit” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Send. B. Connect. C. Add. D. Track.
14. What can we learn about the new material?
A. It’ll cause a waste of resources. B. It has gained a large sales market.
C. It has a bright future of development. D. It’ll improve the function of the heart.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Are Studying Human Body Life Signs
B. Advanced Medical Facilities Are Put into Wide Use
C. Smart Wearables Are Well Received Among Athletes
D. Carbon Nanotube Threads Are Created to Test Heart Rate
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是可测量心率的“碳纳米管线”。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The so-called “carbon nanotube threads” can be used to measure heart rate to test heart conditions.(这种所谓的“碳纳米管线”可以用来测量心率,以测试心脏状况。)”可知,新材料的用途是提供心跳测量。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。结合常识和第四段的“ transmit the information through Bluetooth technology to a computer(通过蓝牙技术将信息 transmit到计算机)”可知,句子表达的是“通过蓝牙技术将信息传输到计算机上”,因此划线词的意思是“发送”,即Send,故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Nothing else behaves like this promising material.(没有其他东西能像这种有前途的材料一样表现出色。)”可知,这种材料具有良好的发展前景。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段的“The so-called “carbon nanotube threads” (碳纳米管线) can be used to measure heart rate to test heart conditions.(这种所谓的“碳纳米管线”可以用来测量心率,以测试心脏状况。)”可知,本文主要介绍的是可测量心率的“碳纳米管线”,因此最好的题目是D选项“Carbon Nanotube Threads Are Created to Test Heart Rate(碳纳米管线被创造来测试心率)”,故选D。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者分享了自己和家人从西到东横跨北美洲的经历。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我和家人在两周内从加拿大西部到东部穿越了北美大陆!分析句子可知,此句已经有谓语have managed,因此括号内提示词在此处应为非谓语动词形式。在根据“manage to do sth.设法做到某事”,可知应使用动词不定式形式。故填to cross。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:我迫不及待地和你们分享这些故事。结合句意设空处需要一个意思表示“和”的介词,再根据“share sth. with sb.和某人分享某事(物)”可知应为介词with。故填with。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:我们从温哥华出发,爸爸开车。但他的方向感很差,在我们最终穿过落基山脉去看到壮丽的景色之前,我们已经迷路了很多次。结合空格前后的句子含义可知此处表转折关系并且谓语句首。故填But。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:但他的方向感很差,在我们最终穿过落基山脉去看到壮丽的景色之前,我们已经迷路了很多次。a sense of……的感觉,又因为poor的发音为辅音音素开头,故填a。
【40题详解】
考查序数词。句意:第八天,我们到达了魁北克,在那里发生了最有趣的事情。根据看空格前的定冠词the可知此处需要序数词。故填eighth。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:爸爸加了汽油后把妈妈落在了后面,直到妈妈打电话来我们才意识到这一点!因为此句中after为介词,因此后面动词应该为动名词形式。故填getting。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:为了让我妈妈高兴起来,我们去魁北克的一家特色餐馆吃了一些美味的法国菜。根据分析可知主语we缺少谓语动词,在结合语境为讲述经历的故事,因此应该使用一般过去时。故填went。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:当妈妈看到一只神奇的虎鲸,把爸爸的手机掉进了海里,这使爸爸很气恼。分析可知此处需要形容词修饰名词killer whale,修饰物用ing结尾的形容词。故填amazing。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:幸运的是,我们遇到了另一个来自魁北克的家庭,他们会给我们发送一些鲸鱼的好照片。设空处在整句话中充当状语,应该用副词,且位于句首,故填Luckily。
【45题详解】

47. 读后续写
Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among them was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant(傲慢的)boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad.
When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed a lot and said, “I knew you were a loser, maybe a beggar?” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard and made fun of the situation. He didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it as Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling that his uncle bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.
At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving back?”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad. At least he could afford the lunch now. However, another voice popped up, urging him to give it back to Fahad, which made him feel torn. “I should never keep the wallet at the cost of my honesty, and Fahad would be extremely embarrassed without any money in the presence of so many classmates!”Asad convinced himself. Once he made up his mind, he accelerated his pace and caught him up. “Fahad, it’s your wallet and I found it on the bench.” Taking over the wallet, Fahad stared into Asad’s eyes with a puzzled look written on his face.
Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back?” He even looked into his wallet, obviously doubtful about Asads act. Calmly and patiently Asad explained, “I had originally wanted to keep it secret as a punishment for your arrogance, but being honest matters more to me.” Hearing what Asad had said, Fahad felt his face burning with shame. He bent, thanking Asad for saving him from the embarrassing situation and apologizing to the classmates around for calling them losers. “And the lunch is on me. You all are my friends!”Fahad announced.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Asad是一个13岁的男孩,他非常诚实和勤奋,这天他忘了带钱,本想找班上最富有的孩子Fahad借钱,但是被拒绝了,Fahad还嘲笑了Asad一顿。结果Asad在长凳旁见到了Fahad的钱包。他本来不想归还,但是出于天性还是归还了钱包,两人也因此成为了朋友。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“起初,Asad想保守秘密,并惩罚了Fahad”可知,第一段可描写Asad不归还钱包,内心的挣扎以及他还钱包的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“然后Fahad说:‘你为什么要把它还给我?’”可知,第二段可描写Asad解释自己还钱包的原因以及Fahad羞愧。
2.续写线索:Asad想惩罚Fahad——Asad内心不安——Asad归还钱包——Fahad困惑——Asad解释——成为朋友

读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Some Famous People With Surprising Achievements
Hedy Lamarr—Wi-Fi
Austrian-born film star Hedy Lamarr was a box-office hit during the Hollywood Golden Age in the late 1930s and early 1940s.During World War II she worked on a torpedo guidance system which forms the basis of today's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi communications. Patented (获得专利权) in 1942 together with composer George Anthiel, their “frequency hopping” de-vice was used during the war. Surprisingly, neither Lamarr nor Anthiel profited from their invention during their lifetimes.
Uri Geller—Radiation Shield (辐射防护屏)
As an Israeli-British magician, Uri Geller is best-known for using “mind power” to bend spoons on live TV. However, a lesser-known achievement is his invention of a radiation shield to protect cell phone users from the radiation.

Years ago, I could not stick to exercising until I bought a CD called I Enjoy Exercise. I listened to it every day. I bought the CD because I wanted to run in a race and hopefully win!
I had assured my 10-year-old son Todd that I would run in a race with him. Unfortunately, however, when that race came, his left leg was hurt in a car accident. Without him running with me, although I took part in that race, I didn’t do quite well in it.
While Todd couldn’t run together with me because of his injury (受伤), he never forgot the promise I made for him. He was always asking me whether I would keep my promise when he recovered in the future. So I decided I was going to train and go all out to win the next race. What I needed was motivation (动力). It happened that one of my friends mentioned the CD which he liked very much, saying that he got a lot from the music in it when feeling down. So I bought it and listened to it while exercising every day.
What happened to my thinking was amazing as I listened to it daily. I started to think about the repeated words on the CD — “I enjoy exercise”. Instead of dreading exercise, I was thinking, “I enjoy exercise.”
I found out how important words are that we play in our minds every day. I went from a person who seldom exercised to someone who started to exercise daily. Just think how our lives will improve if we reflect on the uplifting words of the famous works. I have found the positive messages have greatly inspired me and then changed my life.
How did I do in that race, you might be thinking? I actually became the champion in my age group.
4. Why did the author take part in the race by herself?
A. She would like to win the race.
B. She had a good talent for running.
C. Her son got injured in a car accident.
D. Her son was unwilling to run with her.
5. How did the author get the motivation for training?
A. By recalling some inspiring stories.
B. By listening to the CD while running.
C. By getting timely help from her friend.
D. By forcing herself into keeping running.
6. What does the underlined word “dreading” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Fearing. B. Improving.
C. Preferring. D. Taking.
7. What message does the author intend to deliver to us?
A. It’s important to avoid injury while running.
B. The uplifting words make a difference to us.
C. Parents should get along well with children.
D. We can build up our bodies by regular exercise.
C
In recent years computer scientists have come up with several different ways of creating false videos of people using Artificial Intelligence (AI). These videos are usually called “deepfakes”. Some deepfakes work by putting the face of one person onto a different person in a video. Others work by taking an existing video of a person and changing it so that the person says or does something they didn’t say or do.
At first, creating deepfakes was complex. It required special knowledge, hundreds of pictures of the person who was being faked, and lots of time. Now it’s much simpler. There are websites and apps that allow almost anyone to create deepfakes. An app recently came out which allowed users to put their faces into famous movie scenes. The process takes about eight seconds, requires one picture, and can be done on a mobile phone. One group of computer scientists created a program that allowed them to edit the words coming out of someone’s mouth in a video just like you might edit a document on the computer.
However, the popularity of deepfakes may cause anxieties. It’s one thing to change the faces of famous actors.But what happens if someone puts out a fake video of a politician, for example, making it look like he broke the law? There’s also the problem of the time it takes to figure out that something is fake. Even if a video is proven to be fake, it could be too late.Millions of people might have already seen and believed it.On the other hand, what happens if a video is actually real, but people don’t trust it because they’re told it’s a deepfake?
Many deepfakes are so good that only another AI system can tell that they’re fake. Experts are working hard to create new AI tools that can identify faked videos. Many people are confident that people can defeat deepfakes soon. However, personally, it is very challenging because this technology has always fallen behind the deepfakes.
8. What does the author focus on in the first paragraph?
A. The way deepfakes work. B. The way to create false videos.
C. The way deepfakes are named. D. The way to use Artificial Intelligence.
9. How does the author develop the third paragraph?
A. By making comments. B. By following time order.
C. By providing examples. D. By explaining the difference.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards developing AI tools to identify deepfakes?
A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Worried. D. Critical.
11. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To stress technology development. B. To introduce deepfakes and the effects.
C. To recommend a new application. D. To explain the importance of deepfakes.
D
A group of researchers have developed a new material which is soft but very strong It can be worn and washed like ordinary clothing and could finally turn sports clothes into smart “wearables”.
The so-called “carbon nanotube threads” (碳纳米管线) can be used to measure heart rate to test heart conditions. But instead of having to be stuck on the skin, they can be fixed on a T-shirt and worn like usual athletic wear. The researchers say the threads can comfortably move with the wearer, and be washed and worn repeatedly without breaking down.
Though going into production for customers is still a long way off, the material could finally help replace some medical facilities, such as the heart-rate monitoring machines and watches, in addition to other possible uses. For the latest study, researchers worked with a rope-maker to make the threads together into a material similar to ordinary thread that could be sewn (缝纫) into athletic clothes. The resulting “smart” shirt provides “soft, wearable, dry sensors for continuous” heart-rate monitoring, the study states. With some improvement, the clothes with these carbon nanotube threads could be able to track other human body life signs, according to the researchers.
The “smart” shirts aren’t entirely without wires (电线), however. One example shows the nanotube in the shirt feeding testing results to wires on the bottom that transmit the information through Bluetooth technology to a computer.
“The threadlike material — thin enough to run through a sewing machine — is not only soft and comfortable to the touch, but also so strong that you can build a powerline out of it,” said Dewy, a member of the research team. “Nothing else behaves like this promising material.”
12 What is the new material expected to do?
A. Make a new style of sportswear. B. Take the place of traditional clothes.
C. Provide measurement for heartbeats. D. Help determine the type of an illness.
13. What does the underlined word “transmit” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Send. B. Connect. C. Add. D. Track.
14. What can we learn about the new material?
A. It’ll cause a waste of resources. B. It has gained a large sales market.
C. It has a bright future of development. D. It’ll improve the function of the heart.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Are Studying Human Body Life Signs
B. Advanced Medical Facilities Are Put into Wide Use
C. Smart Wearables Are Well Received Among Athletes
D. Carbon Nanotube Threads Are Created to Test Heart Rate

47. 读后续写
Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among them was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant(傲慢的)boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad.
When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed a lot and said, “I knew you were a loser, maybe a beggar?” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard and made fun of the situation. He didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it as Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling that his uncle bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.
At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad.

Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving back?”
