20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park, Eaton Canyon, day in and day out to pick up as much litter as he could fit in two buckets (提桶). Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate (热爱的) than ever about his task to save the planet!
Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a “global embarrassment,” so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project.
As time went on, he began documenting his progress on Twitter. Soon, he began encouraging others to start park cleanup projects of their own.
As part of southern California’s Angeles National Forest, Eaton Canyon can see quite a bit of daily foot traffic. On one particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hours picking up litter and came away with over 1,000 pounds of rubbish. Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park.
The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits.
Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in his park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets. Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance, but he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations.

We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems. However, light pollution may be a new term to many of us. But, the fact is, it does affect mankind, other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution? It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting, car headlights, station lights, streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants. Upon studies, it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of nocturnal animals. Needless to mention, bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt, wander and perform their regular activities. Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases. Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm. It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells. So, it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health. Apart from this, the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year. It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all, fuels are used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle, some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution. For example, while installing outdoor lighting, make sure that they are pointed downwards. Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices. Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
28. What can we learn about light pollution?
A. It has no effect on plants.
B. It contributes to most cancers.
C. It is a negative fruit of light technology.
D. It affects animals’ normal activities in the daytime.
29. How does light pollution affect the climate?
A. It reduces temperatures by days and makes nights warmer.
B. It creates more clouds over parts of the Earth.
C. It stops the release of greenhouse gases.
D. It causes global temperatures to go up.
30. How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution?
A. Forbidding the use of outdoor lighting.
B. Using clean energy to produce electricity.
C. Not using unnecessary lights at home and offices.
D. Reducing money spent on man-made light in urban areas.
31. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A. citizens should be forbidden to install outdoor lighting
B. only simple ways can help reduce light pollution
C. there is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas
D. light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently
D
Two high school students have identified four new planets in distant space about 200 light years from the earth, making them “the youngest astronomers” to make such a discovery.
Kartik Pingle, 16, and Jasmine Wright, 18, who both attended schools in Massachusetts, participated in the Student Research Mentoring Program (SRMP). With the help of Tansu Daylan, an MIT doctor for Astrophysics and Space Research, the students studied and analyzed data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Together they focused on Tess Object of Interest (TOI) 1233, a nearby, bright sun-like star and here they found four planets rotating (旋转) around the star. “We were looking to see changes in light over time,” Pingle explained, “The idea is that if the planet transits (经过) the star, or passes in front of it, it would periodically cover up the star and decrease its brightness.”
While studying 1233, Pingle and Wright had at least hoped to find one planet, but were overwhelmed with joy when a total of four were found. “I was very excited and very shocked,” Wright said, “We knew this was the goal of Daylan’s research, but to actually find a multi-planetary system, and be part of the discovering team, was really cool.”
Three of the newly discovered planets are considered as “sub-Neptunes”, which are gaseous(气态的), but smaller than the Neptune that lives in our solar system.
“We have long been studying planets beyond our solar system and with multi-planetary systems, the two young students are kind of hitting the jackpot. They are really blessed,” Daylan said, “The planets originated from the same disk of matter around the same star, but they ended up being different planets with different atmospheres and different climates due to their different orbits.”
Daylan added that it was a “win-win” to work with Pingle and Wright on the study. “As a researcher, I really enjoy interacting with young brains that are open to experimentation and learning and have minimal prejudice,” he said, “I also think it is very beneficial to high school students, since they get exposure to cutting-edge research and this prepares them quickly for a research career.”
32. How did the two students identify the four planets?
A. By interacting with other young talented brains.
B. By helping professor Tansu Daylan with the data.
C By studying Neptune that lives in our solar system.
D. By analyzing the change of brightness of star 1233.
33. What can we learn about the discovery?
A. It was made with a creative approach.
B. It was meant to be made by Tansu Daylan.
C. It was independently made by two young students.
D. It found more than one planet at a time by two young students.
34. What does the underlined phrase “hitting the jackpot” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Making a discovery difficultly.
B. Achieving the goal easily.
C. Succeeding in something luckily.
D. Performing a task carefully.
35. According to the text, what benefits does the study bring?
A. It equips future astronomers with better researching abilities.
B. It arouses students’ interest in exploring the unknown universe.
C. It provides more viewpoints and thus promotes more discoveries.
D. It allows the scientists to work with young people without prejudice.

Mobile Phones in Education: A Double-Edged Sword
The widespread use of mobile phones has changed how we communicate daily, but their place in education is still a matter of debate. While some think of them as a trouble, others feel they can serve as a useful tool for learning. ___36___ Some people doubt whether students are focused on their lessons or are instead distracted (使分心) by their devices, texting or even trying to cheat by taking photos of tests. There’s also a chance they’re playing games or watching videos on their phones instead of listening to the teacher.

Teachers think it’s their job to teach students how to use mobile phones the right way as a learning tool. They also teach about how to use phones properly, including how to be responsible with social media and the Internet. ___40___ In their eye, the technology has already existed, so schools should use it to help students and not fear it.

Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off” said the teacher to her class.
An extra day off unsuited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.
“How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom.
“It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh.
Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.
Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents,
“Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?”
“Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.”
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At first Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday.

【答案】17. B 18. A 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】Did you know that dragons have been popular legends in both Europe and Asia for over 3000 years? There is a mention of a dragon in the Bible, but it is associated with evil and considered to be the devil. On the other hand, in China, the dragon is still a symbol of intelligence and power. But the image of the dragon in the East and West was influenced by hundreds of years of contact between Asia and Europe, and dragons came to have some similarities. It is believed that dragons were first imagined in the ancient Middle East.
In fact, there used to be a time when people even believed that they really existed. People used to think that dinosaur bones were dragon bones. It is not clear when people began to think that dragons could breathe fire, but both European and Asian dragons have been painted as having that capability. The Chinese dragon does not have legs or wings like the European dragon. The Russian dragon is often shown as having three heads. Dragons are still quite popular and can be seen in many movies and television programs.

20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park, Eaton Canyon, day in and day out to pick up as much litter as he could fit in two buckets (提桶). Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate (热爱的) than ever about his task to save the planet!
Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a “global embarrassment,” so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project.
As time went on, he began documenting his progress on Twitter. Soon, he began encouraging others to start park cleanup projects of their own.
As part of southern California’s Angeles National Forest, Eaton Canyon can see quite a bit of daily foot traffic. On one particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hours picking up litter and came away with over 1,000 pounds of rubbish. Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park.
The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits.
Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in his park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets. Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance, but he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations. Though he realizes this doesn’t mean his journey is complete, he is excited to have already achieved so much!

B. To explain why Edgar loved Los Angeles.
C. To introduce what inspired Edgar to start his project.

D. Returning to the parks he has already cleaned.

We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems. However, light pollution may be a new term to many of us. But, the fact is, it does affect mankind, other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution? It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting, car headlights, station lights, streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants. Upon studies it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of nocturnal animals. Needless to mention, bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt, wander and perform their regular activities. Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases. Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm. It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells. So, it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health. Apart from this, the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year. It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all, fuels are used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle, some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution. For example, while installing outdoor lighting, make sure that they are pointed downwards. Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices. Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
28. What can we learn about light pollution?
A. It has no effect on plants.
B. It contributes to most cancers.
C. It is a negative fruit of light technology.
D. It affects animals’ normal activities in the daytime.
29. How does light pollution affect the climate?
A. It reduces temperatures by days and makes nights warmer.
B. It creates more clouds over parts of the Earth.
C. It stops the release of greenhouse gases.
D. It causes global temperatures to go up.
30. How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution?
A. Forbidding the use of outdoor lighting.
B. Using clean energy to produce electricity.
C. Not using unnecessary lights at home and offices.
D. Reducing money spent on man-made light in urban areas.
31. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A. citizens should be forbidden to install outdoor lighting
B. only simple ways can help reduce light pollution
C. there is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas
D. light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,主要介绍了光污染的定义、造成的危害及防治建议等。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting, car headlights, station lights, streetlights and many more.(它展示了各种形式的误用人造光。造成光污染的明显原因是户外照明产品使用不当。它可以是办公室照明,汽车大灯,车站灯,街灯等等)”可知,光污染是滥用各种人造光源而形成的,可以说是光技术的坏影响。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第四段关键句“It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming.(它还会导致温室气体的释放和全球变暖)”可知,光污染会造成更多温室气体的排放,从而引起全球变暖。故选D项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段关键句“Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices.(此外,只使用家庭和办公室所需的照明设备)”可知,在家里和办公室里只用必需的照明产品便可减少光污染。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据文章最后两句“Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.(信不信由你,许多生活在城市地区的人在晚上看不到晴朗的天空和星星。让我们为减少污染贡献自己的一份力量)”可知, 光污染非常严重,该问题有待紧急解决。故选D项。
D
Two high school students have identified four new planets in distant space about 200 light years from the earth, making them “the youngest astronomers” to make such a discovery.
Kartik Pingle, 16, and Jasmine Wright, 18, who both attended schools in Massachusetts, participated in the Student Research Mentoring Program (SRMP). With the help of Tansu Daylan, an MIT doctor for Astrophysics and Space Research, the students studied and analyzed data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Together they focused on Tess Object of Interest (TOI) 1233, a nearby, bright sun-like star and here they found four planets rotating (旋转) around the star. “We were looking to see changes in light over time,” Pingle explained, “The idea is that if the planet transits (经过) the star, or passes in front of it, it would periodically cover up the star and decrease its brightness.”
While studying 1233, Pingle and Wright had at least hoped to find one planet, but were overwhelmed with joy when a total of four were found. “I was very excited and very shocked,” Wright said, “We knew this was the goal of Daylan’s research, but to actually find a multi-planetary system, and be part of the discovering team, was really cool.”
Three of the newly discovered planets are considered as “sub-Neptunes”, which are gaseous(气态的), but smaller than the Neptune that lives in our solar system.
“We have long been studying planets beyond our solar system and with multi-planetary systems, the two young students are kind of hitting the jackpot. They are really blessed,” Daylan said, “The planets originated from the same disk of matter around the same star, but they ended up being different planets with different atmospheres and different climates due to their different orbits.”
Daylan added that it was a “win-win” to work with Pingle and Wright on the study. “As a researcher, I really enjoy interacting with young brains that are open to experimentation and learning and have minimal prejudice,” he said, “I also think it is very beneficial to high school students, since they get exposure to cutting-edge research and this prepares them quickly for a research career.”
32. How did the two students identify the four planets?
A. By interacting with other young talented brains.
B. By helping professor Tansu Daylan with the data.
C. By studying Neptune that lives in our solar system.
D. By analyzing the change of brightness of star 1233.
33. What can we learn about the discovery?
A. It was made with a creative approach.
B. It was meant to be made by Tansu Daylan.
C. It was independently made by two young students.
D. It found more than one planet at a time by two young students.
34. What does the underlined phrase “hitting the jackpot” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Making a discovery difficultly.
B. Achieving the goal easily.
C. Succeeding in something luckily.

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了16岁的Kartik Pingle和18岁的Jasmine Wright在距离地球约200光年的遥远太空中发现了四颗新行星的过程,这使他们成为进行此类发现的“最年轻的天文学家”。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Together they focused on Tess Object of Interest (TOI) 1233, a nearby, bright sun-like star and here they found four planets rotating (旋转) around the star. “We were looking to see changes in light over time,” Pingle explained, “The idea is that if the planet transits (经过) the star, or passes in front of it, it would periodically cover up the star and decrease its brightness.”(他们共同关注着苔丝目标天体1233(TOI 1233)——一颗附近明亮的类日恒星,并在其周围发现了四颗行星。“我们希望看到光线随时间的变化,”Pingle解释说,“我们的想法是,如果这颗行星经过恒星,或者从恒星前面经过,它会周期性地掩盖恒星,降低恒星的亮度。”)”可知,这两位学生是通过分析1233恒星亮度的变化来识别这四颗行星的。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“While studying 1233, Pingle and Wright had at least hoped to find one planet, but were overwhelmed with joy when a total of four were found.(在研究1233时,Pingle和Wright原本至少希望能找到一颗行星,当发现总共四颗时,他们欣喜若狂)”可知,这次天文发现的独特之处在于一次性发现了不止一颗行星。故选D。
【34题详解】
词句推测题。根据第五段中“We have long been studying planets beyond our solar system(我们长期以来一直在研究太阳系外的行星)”以及“They are really blessed.(他们真是幸运之至)”可知,Daylan认为这两位年轻学生真的很幸运,取得了成功。由此可知,划线词组hitting the jackpot与Succeeding in something luckily.(幸运地在某事上取得成功)意思接近。故选C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中““As a researcher, I really enjoy interacting with young brains that are open to experimentation and learning and have minimal prejudice,” he said, “I also think it is very beneficial to high school students, since they get exposure to cutting-edge research and this prepares them quickly for a research career.”(他说:“作为研究者,我非常喜欢与思想开放、乐于实验学习且偏见较少年轻头脑交流,”他说,“我也认为这对高中生非常有益,因为他们能接触到前沿研究,这能帮助他们快速为科研生涯做好准备。”)”可知,这项研究对高中生有好处,可以使得他们的研究能力得到提升。故选A。

Mobile Phones in Education: A Double-Edged Sword
The widespread use of mobile phones has changed how we communicate daily, but their place in education is still a matter of debate. While some think of them as a trouble, others feel they can serve as a useful tool for learning. ___36___ Some people doubt whether students are focused on their lessons or are instead distracted (使分心) by their devices, texting or even trying to cheat by taking photos of tests. There’s also a chance they’re playing games or watching videos on their phones instead of listening to the teacher.
___37___ For example, France has made a law that doesn’t allow students under 15 to use mobile phones in school. The problem of students using mobile phones in class is a real worry. They are checking their phones, texting or going on social media. ___38___ Therefore, to deal with the problem, some schools have started using tech solutions. Schools have begun to use special boxes to keep students’ phones during school time, so they won’t be tempted to use them.
The idea of limiting mobile phone use isn’t just happening in a few schools. Over 30 schools in France have put some kind of limit on mobile phone use this year or last year, with different areas making their own rules about phones.
___39___ The teachers in these schools believe that students have grown up with mobile phones. Teachers think it’s their job to teach students how to use mobile phones the right way as a learning tool. They also teach about how to use phones properly, including how to be responsible with social media and the Internet. ___40___ In their eye, the technology has already existed, so schools should use it to help students and not fear it.
A. It’s apparent that mobile phones can destroy a child.
B. They regard it as part of changing education for children.
C. Students are often distracted by their mobile phones during class time.
D. However, a number of schools have decided against a complete ban on mobile phones.
E. In fact, with proper guidance, mobile phones can boost the learning experience.
F. Surprisingly, some students even devote up to 12 hours daily to their mobile phones.
G. Educators are exploring the most effective ways to monitor student mobile phone usage.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了南京高中的学生在一家养老院做志愿活动的经历和学生们的感受。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:上周末,南京高中的学生在当地一家养老院做志愿者,给老人们带来了欢乐,也让他们的一天变得更加愉快。这里泛指当地的一家养老院,且local的发音以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这家养老院位于一个住宅区,有150多名老年人,其中一些人已经90多岁了。本句的谓语是has,所以空处应用非谓语动词。The nursing home和locate之间是动宾关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填located。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意参考上题。这里是“介词+关系词”引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是指人的more than 150 senior citizens,所以用whom引导。故填whom。
【59题详解】
考查时态。句意:虽然这是许多学生第一次参加这样的志愿者项目,但他们渴望与居民分享各种有趣的话题,比如如何使用手机和上网。It was the first time (that)...意为“这是第一次……”,为固定句型,从句应用过去完成时。故填had taken。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。be eager to do sth.意为“渴望做某事”。故填to share。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意:午餐后,居民和年轻志愿者们通过包括国画和书法在内的艺术活动来娱乐自己。主语和宾语都是指the residents and the young volunteers,所以用反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:他们非常喜欢彼此的陪伴,16岁的苏明说,他希望定期回到养老院,与和他交朋友的老年人共度时光。空前有“each other’s”,空处应用名词。company意为“陪伴”,为不可数名词。故填company。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意参考上题。make friends with意为“和……交朋友”。故填with。
【64题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:我担心学生和老年居民相处不好,但事实恰恰相反。I和concern(让……担忧)之间是被动关系,且根据“wouldn’t get along”和“turned out”可知,这里指过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was concerned。
【65题详解】
考查连词。句意参考上题。“I ___9___(concern) that the students and the senior residents wouldn’t get along easily”和“it turned out to be the exact opposite”前后之间是转折关系,应用but或yet。故填but/yet。

Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off” said the teacher to her class.
An extra day off unsuited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.
“How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom.
“It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh.
Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.
Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents,
“Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?”
“Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.”

At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents' plan for the holiday. How eagerly she wanted to go to out to play with her friends! She was against the annoying plan from the bottom of her heart, but she had no choice. First, Kayla was arranged to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath. She knew it was a hard task, which needed a lot of tiring, careful and patient work. She has begun the work with great unwillingness.
Paragraph 2:
But things began to change as she was doing the chores. Brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then it was on to yard work where Kayla helped to pick up sticks. She pretended the small sticks were basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. So the work was done with great pleasure. Kayla felt proud to see how much better the yard looked. When she finished her meaningful chores, Kayla enjoyed relaxing in her tree house. The lemonade tasted wonderful after a hard day of work.
