For years, she has been helping 1 kids. She is running the Buddy Bench 2 . Anyone who is alone could sit on the buddy bench. It tells other kids he or she needs a 3 . It’s helpful to make other people notice someone in need of care. Sammie thought about the Buddy Bench programme in 2017. First she introduced the 4 to her teachers and parents to get their support. But there have been small challenges, like 5 . To make the cost less and be eco-friendly, Sammie decided to make the bench from recycled materials (回收材料). She called on people to 6 bottle caps. In the end, she got over 1200 pounds of them. A company called GreenTree Plastics recycled these into three benches. The benches 7 became popular and soon brought kids together. From then on, Sammie helped communities around the country 8 buddy benches. Sammie has some changes herself. She has learned to accept her weakness and become a better person. “I used to be really 9 ,” she says, “but I’m more outgoing now. It helps me 10 in different parts of my life.” Sammie’s story shows helping people can start at any age.

At my old school in Toronto, I was on the football team and in the music club, so I was very popular and had a lot of 1 . Everything 2 when I was 13 years old because my parents decided to move to Florida. Adjusting (适应) to a new school was not easy for me. I 3 my old days with the days here. I found that the first few days in my new school were really 4 . The class schedule and the teachers’ teaching methods were different. All the students had very strong 5 . They dressed in their own ways instead of wearing school uniforms. Some kids tried to communicate with me, 6 I was afraid to talk to them. I became 7 and quiet. After a few weeks, I realized that no one even tried to talk to me anymore. I 8 to make new friends, so I started to talk to a few classmates. I always said to them politely, “How are you? Can we become good friends?” 9 , I made some friends and got along well with them. From then on, I began to have more friends. And many of them still have good 10 with me now.

Stacy is very tall and talented in 236 . Priscilla is 237 shorter and likes nothing about music. 238 I’d like to say they are like twins. My friends are 239 . Both of them did very well 240 they were in school. Stacy now does a good job 241 a hospital. Priscilla 242 her university and is thinking about furthering (增进) her studying. They are very caring. Stacy is always there with me when I have my ups and downs (挫折) in 243 . Priscilla also 244 me a lot. She likes to help me with my problems or even just to sit and 1 to me. I would say they 2 care about me in their special way. Stacy and Priscilla are quite funny. Stacy knows how to make me 3 when I am feeling down (失落). Priscilla also does the 4 .

I 2 expected that I could find the answer during the sports meeting last year. Robin, my classmate, 3 the 1,000-metre race. Robin ran the fastest most of the way, with the next runner close behind. The 4 was about to end. I was sure that Robin would 5 , as there was only 10 metres left. Suddenly, the second-place runner sped up (加速) and ran past 6 . So Robin got the 7 place at last. 8 fact, the winner was Robin’s friend in Class 3. After the race, they stood face to face and 9 of them seemed tired. It was such a pity that I thought Robin would feel 10 . To my surprise, they 11 out their hands and hugged each other, and they said something I couldn’t 12 . They were opponents (对手) in the competition but 13 off the competition. I was moved by them because I learned that friendship was far more 14 than the result of the race and the place they got. 15 the race ended long ago, it is still in my mind. 1．A．finds B．seems C．wonders D．cares 2．A．always B．usually C．sometimes D．never 3．A．joined in B．came in C．put in D．arrived in 4．A．program B．test C．race D．activity 5．A．wait B．decide C．lose D．win 6．A．clearly B．loudly C．quickly D．luckily 7．A．first B．second C．third D．fourth 8．A．In B．With C．Of D．On 9．A．all B．both C．none D．either 10．A．happy B．afraid C．hungry D．terrible 11．A．shared B．touched C．reached D．brought 12．A．see B．hear C．taste D．talk 13．A．friends B．writers C．dentists D．kids 14．A．expensive B．popular C．social D．important 15．A．Though B．Because C．If D．So （二十二） On a cold, sunny day, I sat in my car and watched dolphins swim in the sea. 1 . I saw some dolphins were beached (搁浅). It was very 2 for them to be out of water. I knew they needed help. 3 thinking too much, I jumped out of my car and ran to the beach. I first called the police but their 4 were far away. It was a life-or-death moment for the dolphins. I didn’t know 5 to help them, so I put a message on the Internet. I hoped someone could see it and come to 6 those lovely animals. Minutes later, three teenage boys from a nearby school came first. It was like light that drove the darkness away. Then more and more people 7 . We decided to save the 8 dolphins first and worked together to move them back to the deep water successfully. To my 9 , after people saved the smaller dolphins, none of them left. They stayed in the water and made strange sounds to help the other dolphins. After we 10 the rescue (救援) work, all the dolphins raised their heads from water and swam around to show their 11 to us. Then, they swam back to the deep sea. It touched me a lot and made my heart 12 . The dolphins had a great 13 of helping each other when there was trouble. I realized that our volunteer group was just like the dolphins. On such a cold day, 14 cared about getting wet or dirty. We tried our best to save the dolphins and made sure they were safe. People can always 15 our friends—animals.

But what about plants? We just have to 1 . A new report shows that nearly 67% of UK gardeners play music 2 their plants! Well, I know my granddad sings opera to his tomatoes. Many people do believe music helps plants to grow better. They’re said to grow well when exposed to classical music 3 are less interested in rock music! But is it true? Plants react (作出反应) to light, water, temperature and many other 4 things—so why not music? In fact, plants can feel sounds that move as vibrations (震动) through the 5 . Those include vibrations made by some flying insects like bugs and bees. So, might they react to vibrations from music, too? We’re not 6 . We have to do a lot of careful tests the same way over time as different tests show 7 results. We need to check the quality of soil, water and light, as well as the music. But I 8 if singing and talking to your plants means you care about them. Could it be the care that makes them healthier instead of the music itself? Here comes another question: can plants 9 music? I couldn’t believe it when I heard about the plant singing show in Italy! Is it for real? Yes, devices (装置) are tied to plant leaves. They turn plant sounds 10 synthesis (合成) music. But the real voices of plants are much more interesting than we currently know. You can even buy an expensive machine that lets you listen to the ‘music’ of your houseplants. 1．A．run out B．look out C．find out D．put out 2．A．in B．to C．of D．with 3．A．but B．though C．so D．as 4．A．living B．natural C．dangerous D．harmful 5．A．light B．water C．soil D．air 6．A．interested B．right C．sure D．alone 7．A．similar B．different C．good D．bad 8．A．wonder B．understand C．know D．learn 9．A．hear B．feel C．notice D．make 10．A．into B．up C．down D．off （二十四） There are different lakes in the world. Here are some different ways to 1 which is the world’s largest lake. Are you interested in the largest lake or the lake with the 2 water? Do you want to 3 salt water lakes with others? In fact, there are lots of 4 between salt water lakes and other lakes. Which lake is the world’s largest one? It is not a(n) 5 question. 6 , we can discuss it in different ways. Lake Baikal is the world’s largest 7 water lake with the most water. 8 has about 23.6 trillion cubic meters of water, or about 20% of the earth’s fresh water. This 9 is pretty large. The Caspian Sea is the largest salt water lake with a(n) 10 of 371,000 square kilometers. Lake Superior, 11 the United States and Canada, is a fresh water lake with the largest area of 82,414 square kilometers. There are also some other 12 lakes in the world.

A pack rat is a person who collects a lot of things that he doesn’t really need. But a desert pack rat is a 1 animal. It will find something useful for its nest all around. The kind of rats is common in the 2 . A pack rat is a night animal. It makes its nest and finds its food at night. A pack rat looks like most rats, 3 it has stronger feet for catching trees or rocks. Pack rats eat almost everything. It 4 cactus (仙人掌科) plants, flowers, fruit and leaves. They do not need to drink water because they can get water from what they eat. So pack rats can live in bad 5 . A pack rat can help a desert. They 6 leaves, rocks and other things to build their nests. Sometimes a pack rat running 7 the desert will drop small bits of the plants from its mouth. Then these bits of plants may set roots deeply in the desert. The roots help new plants 8 in the desert. Scientists do some 9 and find that a pack rat cannot live without its nest. A pack rat will use an old nest again before 10 a new one, but it may build a nest in a tree or rock.

Who are great people and how do they become great?” The father asked the boy to bring two young 1 home. Then he told him to plant one of them 2 the house and the other outside the house. The boy did as his father said. The father asked his son, “My boy, which of the two plants do you think will be 3 ?”The boy answered, “The one inside the house will grow bigger 4 it is safe. But the plant outside the house is not safe at all. No one will be there to 5 it. And animals may eat it.” The father smiled and said, “Let's wait and 6 . We will know the answer one day.” Then the boy left for his university study and after four 7 he came back. He said to his father, “Look, 8 happens to this young plant inside the house and it is safe.” When the boy went outside, he was very 9 to see a very big plant. The boy couldn't 10 his eyes. The young plant outside was much bigger than the one inside the house. The father told his son 11 the plant outside was bigger, “The plant inside didn't 12 weather changes, and it didn't get 13 sunshine. As a result, it didn't become big.” Here is the answer to the question about being 14 : To become a great person, one must meet many 15 and try to solve them.

But researchers recently found one desert animal had found a 1 solution to solve this problem. Desert ants always 2 their nests (巢穴) to look for food. To get back, they normally count their steps and use the sun to 3 where they are. But sometimes they need to go more than one kilometer away, so it becomes 4 to find their way back. But somehow, they always do. The researchers found that the ants 5 big hills over their nests, up to 40 centimeters tall. The hills become landmarks (地标) to 6 ants get home. “This business of building their own landmarks is 7 ,” said John Longino of the University of Utah, who studies insects. “Are they sitting down to a 8 to decide whether they need a bigger landmark?” For now, we don’t know the 9 . But the hills are usually built by younger ants that haven’t been away to look for 10 yet. That means the older ants who have looked for food may ask younger ants to build the hills. 1．A．silly B．strange C．bright D．smart 2．A．leave B．shoot C．repair D．push 3．A．look through B．set up C．work out D．put off 4．A．easier B．harder C．shorter D．wider 5．A．sell B．plan C．build D．control 6．A．notice B．care C．throw D．help 7．A．amazing B．fair C．crazy D．weak 8．A．meeting B．concert C．match D．theater 9．A．way B．answer C．plan D．condition 10．A．nature B．force C．ground D．food （二十八） Canada is a huge place, and it's about 4,600 km from north to 1 and 5,500 km from east to west. It's the 2 largest country in size in the world（Russia being the largest）, 3 only 0.5% of the world's population live there. In some ways Canada is many 4 in one. About half of Canadians have their roots in Britain or France. Although it is cold and 5 , some of them still live on their traditional lands, where they hunt and fish for 6 . Many others have moved to cities across Canada. Canada is home to lots of wonderful 7 animals, from bears, wolves and mountain lions to smaller animals like rabbits. The country's lakes and rivers are full 8 fish. Canadians work hard to 9 wild animals, and the country has 41 national parks.

They run through seven countries in South America. Although life was 1 easy there, the Inca people lived in the Andes Mountains for hundreds of years. The old and famous Inca Empire 2 in around the 13th century and didn’t come to an end until the late 16th century. Corn was the Inca people’s 3 food because it could grow very well in the high mountains. Tomatoes, potatoes and another grain called quinoa were also popular. When the Inca people 4 peppers with quinoa, they could make a kind of delicious soup. The llama (美洲驼), a kind of animal, was another 5 why the Inca people could live in such a terrible environment. It 6 the Inca people milk and meat. At the same time, it could be used to carry lots of 7 things. Most Inca people were 8 and the villages they lived in were very small. Even Cuzco, the capital, was not a large city. In Cuzco, the Inca people 9 walls with huge stones. Some of the walls were more than 7 meters 10 .

So I began to read the 3 about starfish on the Internet. Of course, starfish aren’t really 4 . They just look like stars. They 5 in the sea, but they aren’t fish. There are about 1,900 different kinds of starfish living in the sea all over the world. Starfish don’t live in fresh water. Hundreds of starfish are of different 6 . The most common starfish are red, orange or yellow. Starfish can 7 themselves when they are young. Young starfish know what to eat and where to find their food. Starfish can’t swim. They 8 by using their arms and tube feet (管足). A starfish has no head. A 9 starfish has five arms. You can see most of them have five arms on the beach. But not all starfish have five arms. Some have many more. If an arm falls off, it grows right back. Because of all these things, the starfish is my favourite animal now. I 10 it’s interesting and fun.

They really wanted the gold. Full of 4 , they left early the next morning. Along the way, they faced different difficulties, such as a dangerous hill and a deep river. As they arrived there, they found an old box under a tree. 5 , they opened the box. To their surprise, they only found a piece of paper in the box. It said, “The most 6 thing is not in the box, but in the journey you have.” Tom and Jack laughed after reading it. They 7 the lovely experience of working together, and the joy of looking for something new. After 8 the village, Tom and Jack told their story to their friends.

But somehow, they always do. The researchers found that the ants 5 big hills over their nests, up to 40 centimeters tall. The hills become landmarks (地标) to 6 ants get home. “This business of building their own landmarks is 7 ,” said John Longino of the University of Utah, who studies insects. “Are they sitting down to a 8 to decide whether they need a bigger landmark?” For now, we don’t know the 9 .
