Some Cool Sports at the Olympic Games
The Olympic Games, or the Olympics, continue to develop, introducing some exciting sports that attract the fans’ attention worldwide.
Surfing
In the 1920s, surfing fans began asking for the sport to be added to the Olympic programme. Surfing was included in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Then the famous surfing place, Teahupo’o in Tahiti, hosted the surfing competition in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The speed, power and flow of surfers are important in the games. The variety, type and difficulty of the tricks have also been judged by five judges.
Breaking
Breaking, also known as break dancing, started in the Bronx, New York City, in the 1970s as part of hip-hop culture. It grew as part of the underground culture of the 1980s. Judges score the breakers mainly based on musicality, performance, originality, technique and completion. Each one makes up part of the score.
Skateboarding
Skateboarding began in the US in the 1950s when surf culture was popular. The sport continued to grow and became very popular at the start of the 21st century, especially among young people. After its Olympic debut (首次亮相) at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Skateboarding has been part of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, held at the famous Place de la Concorde, in Paris.
Sport Climbing
Sport climbing has become very popular over the past 20 years and is done both outdoors and indoors. In 1985, climbers held the first climbing competition in Bardonecchia, Italy. Sport climbing first appeared in the Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018. After gaining popularity at youth events, it was introduced as a new sport at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

When I was a kid, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I used to have ice cream for dessert. Every day, we would choose which ice cream flavor to have. Then we would happily wolf down our treat (款待) as fast as we could.
Once, though, when I was probably about 10 or 11, our grandpa came to visit. Grandpa always had a unique view on things. On this particular occasion, my sister and I were making a bet as to who could finish our ice cream first. With a smile, Grandpa said, “Why would you want to finish first? If you eat slowly, it will last longer. You should have a competition to see who can finish last.” Even now, I always try to taste my ice cream, but of course this is about more than just dessert (甜点) .
Too often, kids want to struggle for more, whether it’s more ice cream, more toys, or more friends. This habit continues to exist in our adult years, and we end up constantly struggling for more. We never develop the skill of appreciating what we have. If we learn to recognize this pattern and change it, we can raise our kids a little differently, giving them the tool of tasting their widely known dessert, which could lead to a happier life for them.
What my grandpa taught me that day was really that if you take the opportunity to enjoy what’s in front of you, the pleasure will last longer and be more rewarding than if you rush through life always trying to get the next treat. It’s a lesson that, I think, has made my adult life happier, as well. These days, when I want something, I wait as long as I can before I allow myself to have it. Then, when I finally get it, I make sure to treasure it as long as possible, because I know that, no matter what it is, it will be gone all too soon.
24. What did the author’s grandfather advise her sister and her to do?
A. Eat ice cream as slowly as possible B. Stop eating ice cream
C. Stop the competition between them D. Learn something from their way of eating
25. Which of the following best describes the author’s grandfather?
A. Wise. B. Humorous. C. Strict. D. Careful.
26. What advice does the author give us in the passage?
A. Keep longing for more. B. Value what you have.
C. Have a balanced diet. D. Save for the future.
27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The author longs for the days when they ate ice cream.
B. The author doesn’t like ice cream as much as before.
C. The author benefits a lot from her grandfather’s advice.
D. The author just starts to understand her grandfather.
C
To stay healthy and fit, Chinese students do group exercises every day at school. Most of you probably do the same set of exercises. But some school exercises have grown popular online due to their local and innovative (创新的) designs. Let’s check one of them out!
Singing in Sichuan dialects with energetic movements and unique mask-changing is not just a Sichuan Opera performance. It’s the routine exercise for students of Mianyang Foreign Languages Experimental School in Sichuan province.
“Sichuan Opera is a local opera, and it is now facing a gap in inheritance (传承). Therefore, we cooperated with Mianyang Intangible Cultural Heritage Center to create a simple and easy-to-learn Sichuan Opera exercise,” said Shen Junhua, who is in charge of organizing the school’s exercise between classes.
According to Shen, this new type of exercise has been practiced since 2017 and has been popular among students. When students enroll (入学), they will spend several weeks practicing it. At present, almost all of the students and teachers have mastered it.
“In fact, we had hardly heard of Sichuan Opera before teachers taught us how to do the Sichuan Opera exercise,” said Li Yangwen, 14, an eighth grade student who also joined the school’s Sichuan Opera club out of interest. “It’s very different from normal exercises. After practicing it, we found it very beautiful and became interested in it. Now, almost all of the students look forward to our daily exercise time and feel excited to do it.”
“By combining opera with daily exercise, the daily class activity allows students to perceive and understand Sichuan Opera’s culture”, Shen said. After years of continuous effort to spread the seeds of traditional culture, the younger generation will finally catch on.
28. Creating this new kind of exercise, the school aims to ________.
A. teach students new skills B. set up a Sichuan Opera club
C. inherit the traditional culture D. make the school exercise more interesting
29. What can we learn from the text?
A. Students must appreciate Sichuan Opera after they enroll.
B. Students can master Sichuan Opera by doing the new exercise.
C. Students will be good at the Sichuan Opera exercise in several days.
D. Students have loved their daily exercise time because of the new exercise.
30. What do the underlined words “catch on” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Grow. B. Perform. C. Understand. D. Revise.
31 What could be the best title for the text?
A. A New Type of Opera B. A Culture Combined Exercise
C. The Development of Opera D. The Influence of Sichuan Opera
D
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become cleverer since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes gray matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr Andrea Michelle, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learned a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that gray matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
32. The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.
A. science on learning a second language
B. man’s ability of learning a second language
C. findings that language learning can help brain power
D language learning and maths study
33. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ________.
A. say language is also a kind of physical labor
B. prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language
C. to show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D. make people believe language learning helps gray matter work well
34. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ________.
A. a person who can speak two languages
B. a person who is good at learning foreign languages
C. a researcher on language learning
D. an active language learner
35. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that ________.
A. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects
C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language

Money Couldn’t Buy Everything
Fifteen years ago, I was born in a big family. I had been taught that money couldn’t buy everything ever since I was a little kid. My parents are the most hard-working people I have ever seen. As much as my parents tried to teach me these values, some could only be learned through personal experiences.
As a child, I would sit in the church trying to concentrate on the words of the priest (牧师),but my attention was soon attracted by the shining gold and the diamonds worn by the Saturday churchgoers. As my eyes began to wander, I noticed men dressed in their tailored suits and shirts with women in their designer dresses.
My family, on the other hand, was the opposite of rich. Our clothes had been washed so many times that the colors had become dull and lifeless. Although this showed the money struggles of our large family, our faces were always washed and hair neatly combed. When sitting on the old big red and white truck after the service, I pictured the lives led by those driving their brand-new cars, wishing I would be one of them.
I never stopped those daydreams even when I was in middle school. Since it was a private school, most of the children came from wealthy families. Although I could hide my lack of wealth at school by wearing our school uniforms, my situation was embarrassingly obvious on weekends with my classmates wearing designer jeans and I had no choice but to wear my sisters’ old jeans. I never fitted in with my classmates. To my relief, there was only one girl named Julie who opened her heart to me. I was attached to her. Soon, her birthday was approaching. Julie invited me to attend her birthday party.
Paragraph 1:
However, I grew upset as I couldn’t afford a gift.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When she opened the gift box, my heart was too nervous to beat.

【解析】
【原文】Like many Chinese kids, I grew up around ping-pong. I first played it with my grandpa as a child. My parents also sent me to play ping-pong every summer. So, I was really excited when our school started its own team. However, I was disappointed to discover I wasn’t the natural champion I had imagined I would be! I lost every match I played at the first meeting, and I wanted to give up. Then, at the end of the meeting, our coach talked about an Egyptian athlete, Ibrahim Hamadtou. Despite losing both arms in an accident, he learned to play ping-pong by holding the paddle with his mouth and serving with his feet! He won much respect at the 2016 Rio Paralympics. Great Britain’s David Wetherill said, “In table tennis, it is skill against skill. I won today, but Hamadtou has shown far more skill than I have.” This story reminded me that skills are learned through practice, and that hard work means more than talent. After that, I tried my best to practice, and I’m now the school’s best ping-pong player!

When I was a kid, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I used to have ice cream for dessert. Every day, we would choose which ice cream flavor to have. Then we would happily wolf down our treat (款待) as fast as we could.
Once, though, when I was probably about 10 or 11, our grandpa came to visit. Grandpa always had a unique view on things. On this particular occasion, my sister and I were making a bet as to who could finish our ice cream first. With a smile, Grandpa said, “Why would you want to finish first? If you eat slowly, it will last longer. You should have a competition to see who can finish last.” Even now, I always try to taste my ice cream, but of course this is about more than just dessert (甜点) .
Too often, kids want to struggle for more, whether it’s more ice cream, more toys, or more friends. This habit continues to exist in our adult years, and we end up constantly struggling for more. We never develop the skill of appreciating what we have. If we learn to recognize this pattern and change it, we can raise our kids a little differently, giving them the tool of tasting their widely known dessert, which could lead to a happier life for them.
What my grandpa taught me that day was really that if you take the opportunity to enjoy what’s in front of you, the pleasure will last longer and be more rewarding than if you rush through life always trying to get the next treat. It’s a lesson that, I think, has made my adult life happier, as well. These days, when I want something, I wait as long as I can before I allow myself to have it. Then, when I finally get it, I make sure to treasure it as long as possible, because I know that, no matter what it is, it will be gone all too soon.
24. What did the author’s grandfather advise her sister and her to do?
A. Eat ice cream as slowly as possible B. Stop eating ice cream
C. Stop the competition between them D. Learn something from their way of eating
25. Which of the following best describes the author’s grandfather?
A. Wise. B. Humorous. C. Strict. D. Careful.
26. What advice does the author give us in the passage?
A. Keep longing for more. B. Value what you have.
C. Have a balanced diet. D. Save for the future.
27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The author longs for the days when they ate ice cream.
B. The author doesn’t like ice cream as much as before.
C. The author benefits a lot from her grandfather’s advice.
D. The author just starts to understand her grandfather.

To stay healthy and fit, Chinese students do group exercises every day at school. Most of you probably do the same set of exercises. But some school exercises have grown popular online due to their local and innovative (创新的) designs. Let’s check one of them out!
Singing in Sichuan dialects with energetic movements and unique mask-changing is not just a Sichuan Opera performance. It’s the routine exercise for students of Mianyang Foreign Languages Experimental School in Sichuan province.
“Sichuan Opera is a local opera, and it is now facing a gap in inheritance (传承). Therefore, we cooperated with Mianyang Intangible Cultural Heritage Center to create a simple and easy-to-learn Sichuan Opera exercise,” said Shen Junhua, who is in charge of organizing the school’s exercise between classes.
According to Shen, this new type of exercise has been practiced since 2017 and has been popular among students. When students enroll (入学), they will spend several weeks practicing it. At present, almost all of the students and teachers have mastered it.
“In fact, we had hardly heard of Sichuan Opera before teachers taught us how to do the Sichuan Opera exercise,” said Li Yangwen, 14, an eighth grade student who also joined the school’s Sichuan Opera club out of interest. “It’s very different from normal exercises. After practicing it, we found it very beautiful and became interested in it. Now, almost all of the students look forward to our daily exercise time and feel excited to do it.”
“By combining opera with daily exercise, the daily class activity allows students to perceive and understand Sichuan Opera’s culture”, Shen said. After years of continuous effort to spread the seeds of traditional culture, the younger generation will finally catch on.
28. Creating this new kind of exercise, the school aims to ________.
A. teach students new skills B. set up a Sichuan Opera club
C. inherit the traditional culture D. make the school exercise more interesting
29. What can we learn from the text?
A. Students must appreciate Sichuan Opera after they enroll.
B. Students can master Sichuan Opera by doing the new exercise.
C. Students will be good at the Sichuan Opera exercise in several days.
D. Students have loved their daily exercise time because of the new exercise.
30. What do the underlined words “catch on” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Grow. B. Perform. C. Understand. D. Revise.
31. What could be the best title for the text?
A. A New Type of Opera B. A Culture Combined Exercise
C. The Development of Opera D. The Influence of Sichuan Opera
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。为了保持身体健康,中国学生每天都会进行群体锻炼。一些学校的锻炼由于其创新性在网上受到欢迎。文章讲述了其中的一个学校里的日常锻炼——四川省绵阳外语实验学校的川剧表演。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的内容““Sichuan Opera is a local opera, and it is now facing a gap in inheritance (传承). Therefore, we cooperated with Mianyang Intangible Cultural Heritage Center to create a simple and easy-to-learn Sichuan Opera exercise,” said Shen Junhua, who is in charge of organizing the school’s exercise between classes. (“川剧是一种地方剧种,目前在传承上面临着缺口。因此,我们与绵阳市非物质文化遗产中心合作,创造了一个简单易学的川剧练习,”沈俊华说,他负责组织学校的课间锻炼)”可推断,学校创造这种新的锻炼方式,旨在传承传统文化。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“After practicing it, we found it very beautiful and became interested in it. Now, almost all of the students look forward to our daily exercise time and feel excited to do it.(在练习之后,我们发现它很漂亮,并对它感兴趣。 现在,几乎所有的学生都期待着我们每天的锻炼时间,并感到兴奋) ”可知,学生因为新的锻炼而爱上了他们的日常锻炼时间。故选D。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。上文“By combining opera with daily exercise, the daily class activity allows students to perceive and understand Sichuan Opera’s culture(通过将歌剧与日常锻炼相结合,日常课堂活动使学生能够感知和理解川剧的文化)”可知,通过这种锻炼,学生们了解和感知川剧文化,结合“After years of continuous effort to spread the seeds of traditional culture(经过多年的不断努力传播传统文化的种子)”可推断,多年的努力后,年轻一代会最终理解传统文化。由此推知,划线短语与C项“理解”意思相近。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Most of you probably do the same set of exercises. But some school exercises have grown popular online due to their local and innovative (创新的) designs. Let’s check one of them out!(你们大多数人可能做同样的锻炼。但一些学校的锻炼由于其本土化和创新性的设计而在网上变得越来越受欢迎。让我们来看看其中一个吧!)”及下文对四川省绵阳外语实验学校的川剧表演的讲述可知,文章主要讲述了一种结合了文化的锻炼。因此B项为最佳标题,体现了主旨。故选B。
D
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become cleverer since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes gray matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr Andrea Michelle, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learned a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that gray matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
32. The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.
A. science on learning a second language
B. man’s ability of learning a second language
C. findings that language learning can help brain power
D. language learning and maths study
33. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ________.
A. say language is also a kind of physical labor
B. prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language
C. to show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D. make people believe language learning helps gray matter work well
34. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ________.
A. a person who can speak two languages
B. a person who is good at learning foreign languages
C. a researcher on language learning
D. an active language learner
35. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that ________.
A. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects
C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是学习第二语言对大脑功能的积极影响以及早年学习第二语言的重要性。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.(根据英国一所大学的一项新研究,学习第二语言可以提高你的脑力。)”可知,这篇文章讨论的主题是语言学习有助于脑力的发现。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Researchers found that learning other languages changes gray matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.(研究人员发现,学习其他语言会改变大脑灰质。这是大脑中处理信息的区域。这与锻炼肌肉的方式类似。)”可知,在第二段,作者提到“锻炼”是为了让人们相信语言学习有助于灰质的正常工作。故选D。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“had learned a second language before the age of five(五岁前学过第二语言)”可知,bilingual的意思应是“会说两种语言的人”,即a person who can speak two languages。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段““Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”(他说:“掌握两种语言为你打开了两扇世界之窗,使大脑更加灵活。你实际上超越了语言,更好地理解了不同的想法。”)”和最后一段“The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.(结果显示,越早开始学习,效果越好。科学家们解释说:“学习一门语言意味着你进入了另一个世界。”)”可知,在最后两段,作者想告诉我们早期学习第二语言对你学习其他科目有很大帮助。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者游览北京大学和清华大学的经历。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:我绕着未名湖走了一圈,它位于校园北部,四周环绕着小径和小花园。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Weiming Lake,指物,在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词which。故填which。
【57题详解】
考查介词句意:我发现湖面像一面镜子。空处应用介词,后接名词短语a mirror作宾语,介词like表示“像”,符合句意。故填like。
【58题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:正如北京大学的学生们所说:“在北京大学,既有可以学习的地方,也有值得欣赏的风景。”admire为动词,表示“欣赏”,作后置定语,修饰名词sights,固定句型there be sth to do表示“有某事要做”,符合句意。故填to admire。
【59题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:离开北京大学走进清华大学,我首先被校园里的一条标语吸引了。动词leave表示“离开”,根据谓语was attracted可知,空处应用其非谓语动词形式,与主语I之间为主动关系,与现在分词walking并列作状语,故应用其现在分词形式;句首字母大写。故填Leaving。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意:清华大学有着极其浓厚的学术氛围。空处应用副词,修饰形容词strong,作状语;extremely为副词,表示“极其地”,符合句意。故填extremely。
【61题详解】
考查情态动词的被动语态。句意:可以看到老师和学生们纷纷跑来聚集在运动场上,这在校园里是常见的景象。根据情态动词can可知,空处应用动词原形;动词see表示“看见”,与主语Teachers and students之间为被动关系,表示“老师和学生能被看到……”,故应用其被动结构can be done。故填be seen。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意:可以看到老师和学生们纷纷跑来聚集在运动场上,这在校园里是常见的景象。空处应用冠词,修饰名词短语common sight,表示一种常见的景象,故应用不定冠词a,表示泛指。故填a。
【63题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:最让我印象深刻的是学校的教育理念。impress为动词,表示“使印象深刻”,在主语从句中作谓语,与主语What之间为主动语态;根据主句谓语was和句意可知,该句为一般过去时,表示过去发生的动作。故填impressed。
【64题详解】
考查并列连词。句意:清华大学的校训是“自强不息,厚德载物”。Self-discipline和Social Commitment为并列关系,组成清华大学校训的名称,故应用并列连词and。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:进入清华大学和北大这两所中国最重要的大学,被认为是包括我在内的无数学生的梦想。recognise为动词,表示“承认、认可”,作谓语;动词短语be recognised as表示“被认作是”,故主语Attending Tsinghua University or Peking University与recognise之间为被动关系,且动名词短语作主语,谓语为单数形式;该句表示客观事实,故应用一般现在时。故填is recognised。

Money Couldn’t Buy Everything
Fifteen years ago, I was born in a big family. I had been taught that money couldn’t buy everything ever since I was a little kid. My parents are the most hard-working people I have ever seen. As much as my parents tried to teach me these values, some could only be learned through personal experiences.
As a child, I would sit in the church trying to concentrate on the words of the priest (牧师),but my attention was soon attracted by the shining gold and the diamonds worn by the Saturday churchgoers. As my eyes began to wander, I noticed men dressed in their tailored suits and shirts with women in their designer dresses.
My family, on the other hand, was the opposite of rich. Our clothes had been washed so many times that the colors had become dull and lifeless. Although this showed the money struggles of our large family, our faces were always washed and hair neatly combed. When sitting on the old big red and white truck after the service, I pictured the lives led by those driving their brand-new cars, wishing I would be one of them.
I never stopped those daydreams, even when I was in middle school. Since it was a private school, most of the children came from wealthy families. Although I could hide my lack of wealth at school by wearing our school uniforms, my situation was embarrassingly obvious on weekends with my classmates wearing designer jeans and I had no choice but to wear my sisters’ old jeans. I never fitted in with my classmates. To my relief, there was only one girl named Julie who opened her heart to me. I was attached to her. Soon, her birthday was approaching. Julie invited me to attend her birthday party.
Paragraph 1:
However, I grew upset as I couldn’t afford a gift.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When she opened the gift box, my heart was too nervous to beat.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】However, I grew upset as I couldn’t afford a gift. It would be such an embarrassing scene to be present without a gift. I even thought about quitting, but I was not able to bring it forth. I struggled for days but couldn’t figure out any solution. One day, while helping with my hardworking parents with the housework, it suddenly occurred to me that maybe I could make a gift by myself. I immediately started my DIY project, which ended up with a toy doll. The big day finally came. I arrived at her house and handed her the box.
When she opened the gift box, my heart was too nervous to beat. I looked closely at her face, wondering if she would just laugh at me. What happened next was totally beyond my imagination. Upon seeing the doll, Julie let out a cry of excitement and she held it close to her face, saying repeatedly that it was the sweetest gift she had ever received. Her words freed me. I couldn’t help smiling together with her. At that precious moment, I realized money couldn’t buy everything. It was our friendship that really mattered.
