A篇
The morning sun peeked through the kitchen window, casting a warm glow over the wooden table where Lila sat with her grandmother. “Today’s the day we’ll make your mom’s favorite apple pie,” Grandma said, sliding a bowl of ripe red apples toward her. Lila’s eyes lit up — she’d been begging to learn the recipe for months.
Grandma handed her a peeler, and they set to work. The apples were crisp and juicy, their sweet aroma filling the room as they sliced them into thin pieces. “Your mom used to stand right where you are,” Grandma said, a smile playing on her lips. “She’d always sneak a slice of apple when she thought I wasn’t looking.” Lila giggled, imagining her mom as a little girl, mischief in her eyes.
Next, they mixed sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg into the apples. Grandma showed Lila how to roll out the pie crust, her hands guiding Lila’s as they pressed the dough into the pan. “It doesn’t have to be perfect,” Grandma said gently when Lila frowned at a lopsided edge. “What matters is the love you put into it.”
As the pie baked, the house smelled like heaven. Lila watched through the oven door, waiting for the crust to turn golden brown. When Grandma pulled it out, steam curled upward, carrying the sweet scent of warm apples and spices. They let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into it, the knife gliding through the flaky crust with a satisfying crunch.
Lila took a bite, and her eyes widened. It tasted just like she remembered — like weekends at Grandma’s house, like hugs and stories by the fire. “This is amazing,” she said, mouth full. Grandma laughed, wiping a crumb from Lila’s cheek. “I knew you could do it,” she said. “Now you can make it for your mom on her birthday.”
Lila nodded, already planning the surprise. As they sat together, sharing the pie, she felt a deep sense of happiness. Some things, she realized, were more than just recipes — they were memories, passed down from one generation to the next, stitching families together like the threads of a well-loved quilt.
1. Why was Lila excited to make the apple pie?
A She wanted to eat a sweet dessert.
B. She had been asking to learn the recipe.
C. She needed to practice her cooking skills.
D. She wanted to surprise her grandmother.
2. What did Grandma say was most important about making the pie?
A. The crust being perfectly shaped.
B. Using fresh ingredients.
C. The love put into it.
D. Following the recipe exactly.
3. What did Lila realize while sharing the pie with Grandma?
A. Apple pie is her favorite dessert.
B. Cooking is easier with help.
C. Some recipes carry family memories.
D. Her grandmother is a great cook.
B篇
Every Saturday morning, a group of volunteers gathers at Greenfield Park with one mission: to clean up the polluted stream that winds through the area. For years, the stream had been choked with plastic bottles, old tires, and discarded food wrappers, making it uninhabitable for fish and other wildlife. But thanks to their efforts, things are starting to change.
Maya, a 17-year-old high school student, has been part of the group for six months. “I first noticed the stream when I was jogging in the park,” she said. “It made me sad to see so much trash, so I looked up local cleanup groups and joined right away.” She remembers her first day vividly — they pulled out three shopping carts and a rusty bicycle, and filled dozens of garbage bags with plastic.
The volunteers work in teams. Some wade into the shallow parts of the stream to retrieve floating debris, while others sort the trash on the banks, separating recyclables from non-recyclables. “We’ve learned a lot about waste management,” said Mr. Higgins, who coordinates the group. “Most people don’t realize how long plastic takes to decompose — some items can last for hundreds of years in the environment.”
Over time, their hard work has paid off. The water is clearer now, and last month, someone spotted a family of ducks swimming in the stream — a sight no one had seen in years. Local kids have started joining too, bringing their friends and turning the cleanup into a weekend activity. “It’s become a community thing,” Maya said proudly. “People stop by to thank us, or even grab a glove and help for a while.”
The group’s next goal is to plant native water plants along the banks to prevent erosion and provide habitats for small creatures. “Cleaning up is just the first step,” Mr. Higgins explained. “We want to make sure the stream stays healthy for years to come.” For Maya, seeing the stream come back to life has been the best reward. “Every time I visit, I notice something new — a butterfly, a bird, or a kid skipping stones in the water. It makes all the early mornings and sore muscles worth it.”
4. Why did Maya join the cleanup group?
A. She needed community service hours for school.
B. She was upset by the trash in the stream.
C. Her friends invited her to join.
D. She wanted to learn about wildlife.
5. What do the volunteers do during the cleanup?
A Only collect trash from the stream banks.
B. Focus on removing large items like bicycles.
C. Separate recyclables from other trash.
D. Teach kids about plastic decomposition.
6. What positive change has happened to the stream?
A. It has dried up completely.
B. Ducks have returned to swim there.
C. New shopping carts were added.
D. The water has become darker.
7. What is the group planning to do next?
A. Stop the cleanup efforts.
B. Plant native water plants.
C. Build a bridge over the stream.
D. Invite more adults to join.
C篇
In the quiet town of Maplewood, a strange phenomenon has been puzzling residents for weeks: birds are gathering in unprecedented numbers at the old oak tree in the town square. What started as a handful of sparrows has grown into a flurry of activity, with hundreds of birds — robins, blue jays, even a few rare woodpeckers — congregating from dawn till dusk.
Local birdwatcher Clara Bennett has been documenting the spectacle. “I’ve lived here for 40 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” she said, flipping through photos on her camera. “There’s no logical explanation. The tree isn’t producing more acorns than usual, and there’s no nearby food source that would attract so many species at once.”
Some residents have embraced the unusual visitors. Children leave out bowls of water, and shop owners hang bird feeders outside their stores. “It’s brought the town together,” said café owner Mr. Patel, pointing to a group of seniors sitting at an outdoor table, laughing as they watch the birds. “People who used to pass each other without speaking are now stopping to talk about the birds.”
But not everyone is thrilled. The noise from the chirping birds has disturbed some neighbors, especially those who live near the square. “I can’t sleep past 5 a.m. because they start squawking so early,” complained Mrs. Higgins, who lives in an apartment above the bookstore. The droppings have also become a nuisance, staining sidewalks and car windshields. The town council held a meeting last week to discuss possible solutions, but opinions were divided.
Wildlife experts have been called in to investigate. Dr. Elena Rodriguez, an ornithologist from the state university, spent three days observing the birds. “At first glance, it’s unusual, but there could be several factors at play,” she explained. “Changes in weather patterns, shifts in migration routes, or even a temporary abundance of insects in the area might be drawing them here.” She’s collecting samples of the birds’ feathers and analyzing local weather data to find clues.
Dr. Rodriguez cautions against jumping to conclusions. “Nature often surprises us,” she said. “This gathering might be a one-time event, or it could become a new pattern. We need to monitor the situation closely before taking any action.” For now, the birds continue to gather, turning Maplewood’s town square into a lively hub of avian activity.
As for Clara, she’s enjoying every minute. “Birds have a way of teaching us to slow down and notice the world around us,” she said, watching a blue jay dart from branch to branch. “Who knows how long this will last? I’m just grateful to witness it.” Whether it’s a temporary wonder or a lasting change, the birds of Maplewood have certainly made their mark on the town.
8. What is unusual about the birds in Maplewood?
A. They are all rare species.
B. They gather in large numbers at an oak tree.
C. They only appear at night.
D. They are afraid of humans.
9. How have some residents reacted positively to the birds?
A. They’ve complained to the town council.
B. They’ve left water and food for the birds.
C. They’ve tried to scare the birds away.
D. They’ve moved out of the town.
10. What problem have the birds caused for some people?
A. They’ve eaten all the garden plants.
B. They’ve damaged the oak tree.
C. Their noise and droppings are annoying.
D. They’ve attacked small pets.
11. What is Dr. Rodriguez doing to understand the phenomenon?
A. She’s moving the birds to a different location.
B. She’s collecting feathers and studying weather data.
C. She’s advising the town to remove the oak tree.
D. She’s writing a book about the birds.
D篇
The concept of time has fascinated humans for centuries. From ancient sundials to modern atomic clocks, we’ve invented countless tools to measure its passage, yet it remains one of the most mysterious forces in the universe. Physicists, philosophers, and even artists have grappled with questions like: Is time a fixed, universal constant, or does it bend and stretch depending on our perspective?
Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity revolutionized our understanding of time. He proposed that time is not absolute but is intertwined with space, forming a four-dimensional fabric known as spacetime.
According to Einstein, gravity and speed can warp time. For example, a clock moving at high speeds will tick more slowly than one that’s stationary — a phenomenon known as time dilation. This isn’t just a theoretical idea; it’s been proven in experiments with atomic clocks on airplanes and satellites. GPS systems, in fact, have to account for time dilation to function accurately, as their satellites move fast enough relative to Earth to cause measurable differences in time.
But time’s mysteries go beyond physics. Psychologists have found that our perception of time is highly subjective. Ever notice how a fun hour with friends flies by, while a boring minute feels like an eternity? This is because our brains don’t process time like a clock. When we’re engaged in new or exciting activities, our brains take in more information, making it seem like time passed quickly. During monotonous tasks, however, we’re more aware of the passage of time, which stretches our perception of it.
Cultural attitudes toward time also vary widely. In Western societies, time is often seen as a precious resource to be “spent” or “wasted,” with strict schedules and deadlines. Phrases like “time is money” reflect this mindset. In many other cultures, however, time is more fluid. Social interactions and relationships take priority over strict timelines, and being a few minutes late to a meeting is rarely considered rude. These differences can lead to misunderstandings — for example, a Western businessperson might feel frustrated by a colleague from a more relaxed culture who arrives late, not realizing it’s a cultural norm.
Some philosophers argue that time doesn’t exist at all, at least not in the way we think. They suggest that the past, present, and future are all equally real, and our perception of time moving forward is just an illusion. This idea, while mind-bending, challenges us to rethink our relationship with time. If the future is already here, does that mean our choices are predetermined? Or is the illusion of time necessary for us to make sense of our lives?
Whether we’re measuring it with clocks, experiencing it subjectively, or debating its very existence, time remains a fundamental part of human experience. It shapes our days, our cultures, and our understanding of the universe. And perhaps that’s the greatest mystery of all — how something so intangible can have such a profound impact on every aspect of our lives.
12. What did Einstein’s theory of relativity reveal about time?
A. Time is a fixed constant across the universe
B. Time is affected by gravity and speed
C. Time moves faster on Earth than in space
D. Time can be stopped with the right technology
13. Why do GPS systems need to account for time dilation?
A. To make satellites move faster
B. To measure the Earth’s gravity
C. To function accurately despite satellite speed
D. To calculate the number of satellites in orbit
14 How does our brain perceive time during exciting activities?
A. It feels like time passes quickly
B. It feels like time stops completely
C. It feels like time moves very slowly
D. It feels like time repeats itself
15 What is a cultural difference in attitudes toward time?
A. All cultures view time as a precious resource
B. Western societies value fluid time over schedules
C. Some cultures prioritize relationships over strict timelines
D. No cultures consider being late to meetings acceptable
七选五
Learning a new language can be a challenging but rewarding journey. Whether you’re studying for travel, work, or personal growth, the right strategies can make the process much easier. Here are five tips to help you become fluent faster:
___16___. Instead of focusing only on memorizing vocabulary lists, try to learn words in context. Read short stories, watch TV shows, or listen to podcasts in the language. When you encounter a new word, write down the sentence it’s in — not just the word itself. This helps you understand how the word is used and makes it easier to remember. For example, learning that “llover” means “to rain” is useful, but seeing it in a sentence like “Mañana va a llover” (“It’s going to rain tomorrow”) helps you grasp its usage.
___17___. Many people are afraid to speak a new language because they worry about making mistakes. But mistakes are a natural part of learning. Even native speakers make errors! The more you practice speaking — whether with a language partner, a tutor, or even to yourself — the more comfortable you’ll become. Don’t focus on being perfect; focus on communicating your ideas. Over time, your grammar and pronunciation will improve as you learn from your mistakes.
___18___. Immersing yourself in the language’s culture can deepen your understanding and make learning more enjoyable. Try cooking traditional recipes from countries where the language is spoken, listening to local music, or celebrating cultural holidays. Not only will this make learning more fun, but it will also help you understand the nuances of the language. For example, certain phrases or idioms might make more sense when you know the cultural context behind them.
___19___. Consistency is key when learning a new language. It’s better to study for 15-20 minutes every day than to cram for several hours once a week. Set a specific time each day for language practice — maybe during your morning coffee or before bed — and stick to it. You can use apps, flashcards, or online courses to make daily practice easy. Over time, these short sessions will add up, and you’ll notice significant progress.
___20___. Tracking your progress can keep you motivated. Keep a journal where you write a few sentences in the new language each day, and look back at it after a month — you’ll be amazed at how much you’ve improved. Celebrate small wins, like having a short conversation or understanding a song lyric. Learning a language takes time, so be patient with yourself and acknowledge every step forward.
A. Practice speaking without fear of mistakes
B. Learn words in context, not in isolation
C. Avoid using online language tools
D. Immerse yourself in the culture
E. Study for long hours once a week
F. Practice consistently, even for short periods
G. Track your progress and celebrate small wins

The day passed quickly. Regular customers stopped by to wish her well, and some even brought small ____31____. By the time the store closed, Maria’s arms were full of gifts and her heart was full of ____32____. As she locked the door for the last time, she took one last look at the bookstore. It had been more than a ____33____; it had been a place where she’d grown, learned, and made memories.
On the bus ride home, Maria opened the book Mr. Henderson had given her. Inside, he had written a note: “Books take us to new worlds, but the best adventures are the ones we ____34____ for ourselves. Good luck in London — this is just the first chapter of your story.”

It was a rainy afternoon. Lily was walking home from school when she saw a small dog sitting under a tree, shaking with cold. The dog looked at her with big, sad eyes. Lily felt sorry for it and decided to take it home.
When Lily got home, her mother was surprised to see the dog. “Where did you get this dog?” she asked. Lily explained what had happened. Her mother thought for a moment and said, “We can keep it for a few days, but we need to find its owner.”
The next morning, Lily made posters with the dog’s photo and put them up around the neighborhood. She also posted a message on the community website. Every day after school, she played with the dog, which she named Lucky. Lucky was very smart and soon learned to fetch balls and shake hands. Lily grew to love it more and more, and she hoped its owner wouldn’t be found.
One week later, while Lily was playing with Lucky in the park, a woman walked up to them, looking excited.

Every Saturday morning, a group of volunteers gathers at Greenfield Park with one mission: to clean up the polluted stream that winds through the area. For years, the stream had been choked with plastic bottles, old tires, and discarded food wrappers, making it uninhabitable for fish and other wildlife. But thanks to their efforts, things are starting to change.
Maya, a 17-year-old high school student, has been part of the group for six months. “I first noticed the stream when I was jogging in the park,” she said. “It made me sad to see so much trash, so I looked up local cleanup groups and joined right away.” She remembers her first day vividly — they pulled out three shopping carts and a rusty bicycle, and filled dozens of garbage bags with plastic.
The volunteers work in teams. Some wade into the shallow parts of the stream to retrieve floating debris, while others sort the trash on the banks, separating recyclables from non-recyclables. “We’ve learned a lot about waste management,” said Mr. Higgins, who coordinates the group. “Most people don’t realize how long plastic takes to decompose — some items can last for hundreds of years in the environment.”
Over time, their hard work has paid off. The water is clearer now, and last month, someone spotted a family of ducks swimming in the stream — a sight no one had seen in years. Local kids have started joining too, bringing their friends and turning the cleanup into a weekend activity. “It’s become a community thing,” Maya said proudly. “People stop by to thank us, or even grab a glove and help for a while.”
The group’s next goal is to plant native water plants along the banks to prevent erosion and provide habitats for small creatures. “Cleaning up is just the first step,” Mr. Higgins explained. “We want to make sure the stream stays healthy for years to come.” For Maya, seeing the stream come back to life has been the best reward. “Every time I visit, I notice something new — a butterfly, a bird, or a kid skipping stones in the water. It makes all the early mornings and sore muscles worth it.”
4. Why did Maya join the cleanup group?
A. She needed community service hours for school.
B. She was upset by the trash in the stream.
C. Her friends invited her to join.
D. She wanted to learn about wildlife.
5. What do the volunteers do during the cleanup?
A. Only collect trash from the stream banks.
B. Focus on removing large items like bicycles.
C. Separate recyclables from other trash.
D. Teach kids about plastic decomposition.
6. What positive change has happened to the stream?
A. It has dried up completely.
B. Ducks have returned to swim there.
C. New shopping carts were added.
D. The water has become darker.
7. What is the group planning to do next?
A. Stop the cleanup efforts.

In the quiet town of Maplewood, a strange phenomenon has been puzzling residents for weeks: birds are gathering in unprecedented numbers at the old oak tree in the town square. What started as a handful of sparrows has grown into a flurry of activity, with hundreds of birds — robins, blue jays, even a few rare woodpeckers — congregating from dawn till dusk.
Local birdwatcher Clara Bennett has been documenting the spectacle. “I’ve lived here for 40 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” she said, flipping through photos on her camera. “There’s no logical explanation. The tree isn’t producing more acorns than usual, and there’s no nearby food source that would attract so many species at once.”
Some residents have embraced the unusual visitors. Children leave out bowls of water, and shop owners hang bird feeders outside their stores. “It’s brought the town together,” said café owner Mr. Patel, pointing to a group of seniors sitting at an outdoor table, laughing as they watch the birds. “People who used to pass each other without speaking are now stopping to talk about the birds.”
But not everyone is thrilled. The noise from the chirping birds has disturbed some neighbors, especially those who live near the square. “I can’t sleep past 5 a.m. because they start squawking so early,” complained Mrs. Higgins, who lives in an apartment above the bookstore. The droppings have also become a nuisance, staining sidewalks and car windshields. The town council held a meeting last week to discuss possible solutions, but opinions were divided.
Wildlife experts have been called in to investigate. Dr. Elena Rodriguez, an ornithologist from the state university, spent three days observing the birds. “At first glance, it’s unusual, but there could be several factors at play,” she explained. “Changes in weather patterns, shifts in migration routes, or even a temporary abundance of insects in the area might be drawing them here.” She’s collecting samples of the birds’ feathers and analyzing local weather data to find clues.
Dr. Rodriguez cautions against jumping to conclusions. “Nature often surprises us,” she said. “This gathering might be a one-time event, or it could become a new pattern. We need to monitor the situation closely before taking any action.” For now, the birds continue to gather, turning Maplewood’s town square into a lively hub of avian activity.
As for Clara, she’s enjoying every minute. “Birds have a way of teaching us to slow down and notice the world around us,” she said, watching a blue jay dart from branch to branch. “Who knows how long this will last? I’m just grateful to witness it.” Whether it’s a temporary wonder or a lasting change, the birds of Maplewood have certainly made their mark on the town.
8. What is unusual about the birds in Maplewood?
A. They are all rare species.
B. They gather in large numbers at an oak tree.
C They only appear at night.
D. They are afraid of humans.
9. How have some residents reacted positively to the birds?

B. They’ve left water and food for the birds.
C. They’ve tried to scare the birds away.
D. They’ve moved out of the town.
10. What problem have the birds caused for some people?
A. They’ve eaten all the garden plants.
B. They’ve damaged the oak tree.
C. Their noise and droppings are annoying.
D. They’ve attacked small pets.
11. What is Dr. Rodriguez doing to understand the phenomenon?

B. She’s collecting feathers and studying weather data.
C. She’s advising the town to remove the oak tree.
D She’s writing a book about the birds.

The concept of time has fascinated humans for centuries. From ancient sundials to modern atomic clocks, we’ve invented countless tools to measure its passage, yet it remains one of the most mysterious forces in the universe. Physicists, philosophers, and even artists have grappled with questions like: Is time a fixed, universal constant, or does it bend and stretch depending on our perspective?
Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity revolutionized our understanding of time. He proposed that time is not absolute but is intertwined with space, forming a four-dimensional fabric known as spacetime.
According to Einstein, gravity and speed can warp time. For example, a clock moving at high speeds will tick more slowly than one that’s stationary — a phenomenon known as time dilation. This isn’t just a theoretical idea; it’s been proven in experiments with atomic clocks on airplanes and satellites. GPS systems, in fact, have to account for time dilation to function accurately, as their satellites move fast enough relative to Earth to cause measurable differences in time.
But time’s mysteries go beyond physics. Psychologists have found that our perception of time is highly subjective. Ever notice how a fun hour with friends flies by, while a boring minute feels like an eternity? This is because our brains don’t process time like a clock. When we’re engaged in new or exciting activities, our brains take in more information, making it seem like time passed quickly. During monotonous tasks, however, we’re more aware of the passage of time, which stretches our perception of it.
Cultural attitudes toward time also vary widely. In Western societies, time is often seen as a precious resource to be “spent” or “wasted,” with strict schedules and deadlines. Phrases like “time is money” reflect this mindset. In many other cultures, however, time is more fluid. Social interactions and relationships take priority over strict timelines, and being a few minutes late to a meeting is rarely considered rude. These differences can lead to misunderstandings — for example, a Western businessperson might feel frustrated by a colleague from a more relaxed culture who arrives late, not realizing it’s a cultural norm.
Some philosophers argue that time doesn’t exist at all, at least not in the way we think. They suggest that the past, present, and future are all equally real, and our perception of time moving forward is just an illusion. This idea, while mind-bending, challenges us to rethink our relationship with time. If the future is already here, does that mean our choices are predetermined? Or is the illusion of time necessary for us to make sense of our lives?
Whether we’re measuring it with clocks, experiencing it subjectively, or debating its very existence, time remains a fundamental part of human experience. It shapes our days, our cultures, and our understanding of the universe. And perhaps that’s the greatest mystery of all — how something so intangible can have such a profound impact on every aspect of our lives.
12. What did Einstein’s theory of relativity reveal about time?
A. Time is a fixed constant across the universe
B. Time is affected by gravity and speed
C. Time moves faster on Earth than in space
D. Time can be stopped with the right technology
13. Why do GPS systems need to account for time dilation?
A. To make satellites move faster
B. To measure the Earth’s gravity
C. To function accurately despite satellite speed
D. To calculate the number of satellites in orbit
14. How does our brain perceive time during exciting activities?
A. It feels like time passes quickly
B. It feels like time stops completely
C. It feels like time moves very slowly
D. It feels like time repeats itself
15. What is a cultural difference in attitudes toward time?
A. All cultures view time as a precious resource
B. Western societies value fluid time over schedules
C. Some cultures prioritize relationships over strict timelines
D. No cultures consider being late to meetings acceptable

Learning a new language can be a challenging but rewarding journey. Whether you’re studying for travel, work, or personal growth, the right strategies can make the process much easier. Here are five tips to help you become fluent faster:
___16___. Instead of focusing only on memorizing vocabulary lists, try to learn words in context. Read short stories, watch TV shows, or listen to podcasts in the language. When you encounter a new word, write down the sentence it’s in — not just the word itself. This helps you understand how the word is used and makes it easier to remember. For example, learning that “llover” means “to rain” is useful, but seeing it in a sentence like “Mañana va a llover” (“It’s going to rain tomorrow”) helps you grasp its usage.
___17___. Many people are afraid to speak a new language because they worry about making mistakes. But mistakes are a natural part of learning. Even native speakers make errors! The more you practice speaking — whether with a language partner, a tutor, or even to yourself — the more comfortable you’ll become. Don’t focus on being perfect; focus on communicating your ideas. Over time, your grammar and pronunciation will improve as you learn from your mistakes.
___18___. Immersing yourself in the language’s culture can deepen your understanding and make learning more enjoyable. Try cooking traditional recipes from countries where the language is spoken, listening to local music, or celebrating cultural holidays. Not only will this make learning more fun, but it will also help you understand the nuances of the language. For example, certain phrases or idioms might make more sense when you know the cultural context behind them.
___19___. Consistency is key when learning a new language. It’s better to study for 15-20 minutes every day than to cram for several hours once a week. Set a specific time each day for language practice — maybe during your morning coffee or before bed — and stick to it. You can use apps, flashcards, or online courses to make daily practice easy. Over time, these short sessions will add up, and you’ll notice significant progress.
___20___. Tracking your progress can keep you motivated. Keep a journal where you write a few sentences in the new language each day, and look back at it after a month — you’ll be amazed at how much you’ve improved. Celebrate small wins, like having a short conversation or understanding a song lyric. Learning a language takes time, so be patient with yourself and acknowledge every step forward.
A. Practice speaking without fear of mistakes
B. Learn words in context, not in isolation
C. Avoid using online language tools
D. Immerse yourself in the culture
E. Study for long hours once a week
F. Practice consistently, even for short periods
G. Track your progress and celebrate small wins
【答案】16. B 17. A 18. D 19. F 20. G

47. 读后续写
It was a rainy afternoon. Lily was walking home from school when she saw a small dog sitting under a tree, shaking with cold. The dog looked at her with big, sad eyes. Lily felt sorry for it and decided to take it home.
When Lily got home, her mother was surprised to see the dog. “Where did you get this dog?” she asked. Lily explained what had happened. Her mother thought for a moment and said, “We can keep it for a few days, but we need to find its owner.”
The next morning, Lily made posters with the dog’s photo and put them up around the neighborhood. She also posted a message on the community website. Every day after school, she played with the dog, which she named Lucky. Lucky was very smart and soon learned to fetch balls and shake hands. Lily grew to love it more and more, and she hoped its owner wouldn’t be found.
One week later, while Lily was playing with Lucky in the park, a woman walked up to them, looking excited.
续写第一段开头:
“Lucky! Is that you?” the woman called out.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
续写第二段开头:
That night, Lily couldn’t sleep.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“Lucky! Is that you?” the woman called out. Lucky’s ears perked up. It barked and dashed to the woman, jumping around her legs. The woman knelt down to hug it, tears in her eyes. “I’ve searched everywhere since it ran away last week,” she said. She told Lily that Lucky was her son’s pet, who was ill in hospital and missed the dog badly. Lily felt a lump in her throat. The woman thanked her repeatedly for looking after Lucky, which made Lily nod silently. When they left, Lucky turned back to gaze at Lily, as if saying goodbye.
That night, Lily couldn’t sleep. She kept thinking about the days with Lucky: how it would wait by the door when she came home, and how it fetched her shoes in the morning. She knew the woman was telling the truth, because she mentioned a small scar on Lucky’s paw that Lily had noticed. Her mom sat beside her and said, “What you did was kind. Lucky will be happy, and so will the little boy.” Lily nodded, hoping she could visit Lucky someday.
