Hello, everyone! I'm Li Hua from Class 1, Grade 1. I am glad to be a member of the club.I'm an active and easygoing person. People who know me like to make friends with me. My favourite subject is English. I love singing English songs and I spend a lot of free time reading English books and magazines. And my dream is to be a teacher when I graduate from college. I think this club will provide me with more chances to know more people sharing the same interest and improve my English speaking skills. I am sure we will enjoy ourselves in the club! Thanks!
第二节
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I grew up playing sports. I played softball as a child and performed excellently on my high school field hockey teams. My husband, Kenny, was playing professional basketball overseas when we met and now he works in education and coaches youth and high school basketball.
Kenny and I weren't surprised when our daughters, Kennedi and Kassadi, showed early athletic promise, Kennedi, our older daughter won a medal by age seven. Kassadi wasn't far behind.
I began to think we might have a future sports star on our hands, so I talked with Kenny about it and decided to make running a duty. We didn't ask the girls if that's what they wanted.Of course they did! Who wouldn't want to use a Godgiven gift, to the fullest? Slowly but surely, running took over our lives. By the time Kennedi started middle school, our family life was full of all kinds of trains and race. And I also became stricter with them.
“Faster! Move those legs!” I'd shout at Kennedi if she started falling behind.If the girls lost in a game, the car ride home was no fun.“Where was the effort on that last lap, Kassadi?” I'd demand.“ Kennedi, you were faster in practice last week. What happened?”
I had visions of college scholarships maybe even the Olympics I did not imagine sitting in a doctor's office almost now, staring at the medical equipment.
“Immediate surgery(手术) might be necessary, ” the doctor said,“ I've almost never seen this kind of injury in a child.And recovery can take a long time. She might not come back to racing.”
The doctor kept talking, but I had a hard time following the words. Why did it happen to my child?
Paragraph 1:
My feelings were mixed.___________________________________________________

【参考范文】
Paragraph 1:
My_feelings_were_mixed.I kept thinking about her unusual leg. The more I thought about it, the more I wondered whether Kennedi had been trying so hard because she feared what would happen on the car ride home if she failed to make finals. Was I partly to blame for her injury? When I was alone with Kennedi that night, I gathered up the courage and asked if she thought I'd been too hard on her.
Paragraph 2:
“Yes!_You_are_indeed_too_demanding,”_Kennedi_said.“You treat me differently when I win and when I lose,” Kennedi continued.“I wish you were the same even if I have a bad day in the race. I feel like you don't accept me just for who I am.” Though disappointed, I knew what she said was true. Some of us expect too much of our kids, thus pushing the kids too hard and failing to accept them just for who they are. Our kids needed a Mom more than a coach.
