Passage 1

It was 4 o’clock in the morning. It was far too early to get up, and the idea of running 26 miles seemed not possible. But I trained for eight months, and I was going to do it. I got up, took a shower and had breakfast.

At six o’clock, I arrived at Dodger Stadium. The other runners of my running group were already there. When they saw the look of fear on my face, they laughed kindly. This was clearly my first marathon (马拉松赛跑).

As I started to run, I tried to forget the aches in my body. I put one foot in front of the other and kept going. By mile 10, my feet hurt badly and I slowed down. By mile 18, I was in my neighborhood. I wanted to turn to my street and go home, but I didn’t. By mile 22, there were only four miles to go. I told myself, “Keep going!”

When I saw the finish line, I started running faster and faster, and I crossed the line. I was tired but happy. I made it. I ran my first marathon!

Passage 2

（2024合肥期中）There’s a new sport at this year’s Paris Olympics: breaking. The sport combines dancing and acrobatics. To win the gold, breakers will spin, flip, and shuffle to hip-hop music. Here’s what you need to know about the sport.

Why is it called breaking?

Breaking started in the 1970s. At parties, dancers got up to perform during musical “breaks,” which gave breaking its name. Breaking is now an important part of hip-hop culture.

Who can be a breaker?

Anyone can be a B-girl or a B-boy, which is what breakers call themselves. Montalvo is an American B-boy. “Breaking is awesome because it’s part of hip-hop culture. It doesn’t matter what color you are, who you are, where you’re from,” he says. “It’s all about peace, love and having fun.” Do the breakers pick their own music?

No! In breaking competitions, a DJ picks the music. The breakers never know what songs the DJ will pick.

How do breakers describe their dance?

Breakers have their own language to describe their dance. A “top rock” is when a breaker dances while standing up. A “down rock” is when a breaker dances on the floor, moving their arms and kicking their legs.

Passage 3

Once, a rich man asked a young man to paint a boat. While painting, the young man found a small hole in the boat and quietly fixed it. After finishing his work, the young man received his money and left.

A month later, the rich man showed up at the painter’s house. He gave the painter a big check (支票).

“You have already given me the money for painting the boat, Sir!” said the surprised painter.

“This check is not for painting the boat, but for fixing the hole in the boat.” said the rich man. And then he told the painter what had happened.

After the paint was dry, the rich man’s son took the boat for a fishing trip. He didn’t know about the hole in the boat. When the rich man knew about the trip, he was worried. Luckily, thanks to the young painter’s kind act, his son came back safe and sound.

Passage 4

 

 My grandparents moved to a new home last week and invited us to their housewarming party. Dad and Mum were on business, so I had to go to their party all by myself!

In the morning, I left home with some beautiful flowers and a phone. I called my grandpa on the bus. He answered right away and asked where I was. Then he told me at which stop to get off and how to walk to their building. He said it was the big one with a red door.

After I got off at the stop, I looked around for the red door. I saw hundreds of doors, but none were red. I started to feel nervous. What if I couldn’t find their home? What if I missed the party?

I called my grandpa again and told him I couldn’t find the red door. Following my grandpa’s words, I finally reached their home. My grandma gave me a big hug as soon as she saw me.

It turned out to be a great day. There were a lot of strangers at the party. but everyone was nice to me. I had a good time, and I even made some friends! I was happy that I had the courage (勇气) to go to the party alone. For those who are afraid of going to parties alone, I would say: _____________________________________________________________.

Passage 5

Once, there was a bus driver in a small village. His job was to take children to school in his red bus. Usually, he would stop at the village center to pick up the children. Then he would drive them to a nearby village a few kilometers away, as their own village had no school.

Each trip usually cost 99 cents. However, one day, the bus driver made a special decision. He decided not to charge (收费) the children anything at all, even though his family was living a hard life as well. Many of the children’s parents were jobless, so it was hard for them to save money. He believed this was a good way to help them.

The kind bus driver drove the kids to school every day, sunny or cloudy, rainy or snowy. He made sure they got there safely and on time. But after a few months, the bus wheels became worn out. Moving around became very difficult. Seeing the bus couldn’t work well, all the moms and dads in the village decided to collect enough money to repair the red bus.

After the repairs, the red bus looked as good as new with a fresh coat of paint. It also got new wheels, so it could keep working for a long time.

From this, the bus driver learned something important.

Passage 6

A baby snail (蜗牛) found that he had to carry a big and heavy shell (壳) at any time. He was confused (困惑的), so he went up to his mother and asked, “Why do I carry a big and heavy shell? ” His mother said, “Because we don’t have bones to hold us up. We can only move slowly, so we need a shell to protect us.”

The baby snail asked again, “The caterpillar (毛毛虫) has no bones either. Why can she live without a shell?” The mother snail answered, “That’s because a caterpillar will become a butterfly. She can fly high into the sky. The sky can protect her.”
