Passage 2 （2024-2025学年高二上学期·福建省龙岩市·期末） Comments and Opinions from Reader’s Letters Flood Of Tears ‘Yellow Dog’s Travels’ (My Story, Feb/Mar) made me back to 2010 when our family dog, Folly, disappeared during a flood. Folly was very close to my grandmother and losing Folly made her feel lost. A year went by. One day, my father and I were driving through the countryside when, like a bolt out of the blue, we saw a brown dog that looked like Folly. We rushed to pick up Grandma and drove back excitedly. Their reunion made us all cry. They were never separated after that. Medical miracle I was profoundly inspired by the article ‘Lives In The Balance’ (Bonus Read, Feb/Mar). On my first reading, I was impressed by the determination and devotion of neurosurgeon Dr Christopher Honey. After I reread it, the thought that came to me was, this goes beyond medicine. It is about the miracle of medicine. Dynamic Metropolis I loved reading the travel story ‘Heart & Seoul’ (Feb/Mar). The article brilliantly captured Seoul’s lively combination of tradition and modernity, offering readers a vivid glimpse into its rich cultures, from ancient palace’s to dynamic street markets. It is a fascinating guide for anyone considering a visit to Seoul. Flown The chop Like the story ‘Empty Nest Syndrome’ (Feb/Mar), my youngest moved out recently. When he left, I sat on his bed and cried. My youngest had been at home for 26 years and suddenly his bedroom was empty. We had spent a lot of time together — I home-schooled him for four years. I was lost when he left, but after struggling for a while I managed to find myself again. At meal times he would recount his day. Now, walking around the supermarket I see the things I used to buy for him and it’s hard. The house feels empty, too big. We started out as two and grew to five. Now we are learning to find our way back to the days before children. 1．What brought the reader of ‘Yellow Dog’s Travels’ to tears? A．Reading a similar story. B．The disappearance of Folly. C．Spotting a brown dog. D．Folly’s return to Grandma. 2．What impressed the reader of ‘Heart & Seoul’ most? A．The locals’ wisdom. B．The modern architecture. C．The historic markets. D．The tradition-modern mix. 3．What do the four comments have in common? A．They involve the readers’ personal experiences. B．They share the readers’ emotional response. C．They show the readers’ passion for family. D．They center on the readers’ life changes. 主题01 人与自然——自然活动 Passage 1 （2024-2025学年高二上学期·福建省福州市·期末） Let’s make 2025 one to remember with these trips.

Steps： First make sure that all volunteers know what body language means(expressing feelings through body movement and facial expressions).Go over the following instructions: •I’ll need at least 9 volunteers to play a game similar to charades (猜词游戏). •The first volunteer will draw a card with a feeling written on it and act out the feeling without using words. •The rest of the group will guess what feeling is being communicated. Once someone correctly guesses the feeling, the next person in line will draw a card and act out what is written on it, again without words. •The game will continue until there are no more cards or until time is up. At last, end the activity using the discussion points below: •Can you give examples of when someone’s body language communicated a different message from what he/she actually said? •Sometimes one person is offended (冒犯) by another’s body language.
