Graduation is a significant milestone for everyone. An 89-year-old man called Rene Neira had been trying to finish a degree since the 1950s. However, in the 1960s, he was so passionate about urban and economic development of the southside of San Antonio that he stopped school and got involved with the local government. From that time, one of his life goals was to earn a degree in economics. In 2017, the grandpa and his 19-year-old granddaughter both enrolled (入学) at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
“There were times when we would get lunch together, be in the library together, and just work silently side-by-side,” Melanie Salazar, Rene’s granddaughter, recalled. “He always had something to say, especially if his professors had different opinions than him,” Melanie said. “And there were often times when a professor would invite him to talk about the past.”
Rene’s college years weren’t easy. “He has worked very hard over time. Especially in recent years, with hearing loss and going through seasons of not having a car, there was a term where he had to take medical leave because he had a stroke, so he couldn’t go back to school that term. And then the pandemic started,” said Melanie.
After four years, their hard work finally paid off—they graduated. Together, they stood on the stage. Everyone broke into applause and cheered for this fantastic pair.
Their story has been making waves online. People have nothing but good words for them, “Awww... I love stories like this. This was such a beautiful moment. Congratulations to both of them. Grandpa definitely demonstrated that one shouldn’t give up their dream no matter how long it takes,” one wrote. Another wrote, “I’m motivated to go back to school myself, thanks to his example.”
Rene had the determination to finish his degree even at an advanced stage in his life. Hard work, patience, and determination are the keys to success, especially when the path is not easy or clear.
4. Why did Rene fail to get a degree when he was young?
A. He was not interested in university life then.
B. He devoted himself to city development.
C. He needed to work to support his family.
D. He was not good at his school work.
5. How was Rene’s college life?
A. It made him physically ill. B. It was full of surprise.
C. It was smooth and plain. D. It came with challenges.
6. What did people think of Rene’s experience?
A Admirable. B. Doubtful. C. Funny. D. Pitiful.
7. What lesson can we learn from Rene’s story?
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. It is never too late to achieve one’s dream.
C. Genius without education is like silver in the mine.
D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
C
For all the importance we place on words, whether spoken or written, much of the communicating we do regularly comes through body language. According to pioneering research by Dr. Albert Mehrabian, only 7 percent of the meaning we get from human communication comes from the actual spoken words used. An additional 38 percent comes from tone of voice while a large 55 percent comes from body language alone.
Researchers have long identified that certain kinds of body movements and facial expressions can communicate information about the emotions we happen to be experiencing at the time. But are these emotional signals shaped by different cultures or are they universal to all humans?
A new research article published in the journal Emotion attempts to answer this question through a cross-cultural study. The researchers traveled to Ratanakini, Cambodia to study members of a distant Kreung hill tribe (部落). Living in Cambodia’s highlands, the Kreung are still largely remote from the outside world except for occasional visitors. They have yet to be assimilated (被同化) as many other societies have been.
In the study, a set of videos were prepared featuring an American woman, displaying three positive emotions (happiness, love, and pride) and three negative emotions (anger, fear, and sadness) using body language alone. The effectiveness of these videos was tested using thirty-four American participants. The videos were then presented to twenty-six Kreung individuals (eleven of whom were female). They were asked to describe the emotions being displayed in their own words.
Results showed that the Kreung participants tended to be quite accurate in guessing which emotions were being presented. The overall accuracy rate was sixty-two percent though their accuracy in detecting specific emotions such as anger and happiness was far higher. Overall, there was no significant discrepancy between Kreung and American raters in detecting emotions, though American participants did much better in detecting pride and love.
Still, the study does suggest that body movements can express emotions such as anger, fear, sadness, and love even for individuals belonging to different cultures. Emotional signals reflect basic human needs and desires that all humans share. Learning more about how basic biology and social factors shape the way we communicate may well be essential in helping to understand ourselves better.
8. What do the numbers mentioned in Paragraph 1 show?
A. The importance of body language in communication.
B. The relationship between spoken and written words.
C. The necessity of changing your tone of voice.
D. The effectiveness of various ways of communication.
9. What is the characteristic of the Kreung?
A. They live a hard and poor life. B. They make a living through tourism.
C. They enjoy a relatively unaffected culture. D. They use body language alone to communicate.
10. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Communication. B. Difference. C. Relation. D. Balance.
11. What did the researchers conclude from the study?
A. Humans share the same basic needs and desires.
B. Communicating with others can better understand ourselves.
C. Biology and social factors affect our body language.
D. Emotional body language may go beyond culture.
D
Imagine walking through a forest as a sweet scent travels through the air. A little farther down the path, some unpleasant smell makes you catch your breath. Upon investigation, you find that both of them come from flowers — but why do flowers have different smells?
It’s actually part of a strategy that helps flowering plants reproduce themselves and spread their species. Certain scents help these flowers solve a big problem. Plants flower to produce seeds that can go on to become new plants. To make an available seed, pollen (花粉) from one part of the flower must get fertilized (受精) in another part of the flower. Some plants can be pollinated by themselves, using their own pollen to get fertilized, while others need help to get pollen from another plant of the same species — that’s called cross-pollination.
So how does one plant get some other plants’ pollen? Sometimes gravity helps pollen fall into a place. Sometimes wind carries it. Flowers pollinated by the wind don’t produce a scent. Other flowers are pollinated by birds, bats, or insects carrying the pollen from one flower to another. In these cases, the flowers might have a scent which acts as a kind of welcome sign for just the appropriate pollinator.
An orchid growing in the tropical forest or a rose in your garden needs to attract a pollinator to bring pollen from flowers of the same species. However, there are flowers which look similar but are from other species. To distinguish itself from other flowers, each flower gives off a unique scent to draw specific pollinators.
Similar to the perfumes (香水) at a department store counter, flower scents are made from various kinds of chemicals which evaporate (蒸发) easily and float through the air. Some factors such as the amount of the chemical and its interaction with other chemicals are not as important as the type of the chemical when it comes to giving the flower its unique scent. The scent of a rose may consist of as many as 400 different chemicals.
12. What does the big problem of flowers refer to?
A. Having very few pollinators. B. Struggling to produce enough seeds.
C. Being unable to produce a sweet scent. D. Having difficulty in self-pollination.
13. Why do flowers of different species give off different scents?
A. To clean the air. B. To attract the right pollinators.
C. To make the environment pleasant. D. To protect themselves against destroyers.
14. Which factor plays a bigger role in creating the special scent of flowers?
A. The type of chemicals. B. The quantity of chemicals.
C. The elements of chemicals. D. The interaction with other chemicals.
15. What would be the best title for the text?
A. How do flowers produce seeds? B. Why do flowers smell differently?
C Why do plants set off unique scents? D. How do pollinators distinguish plants?

The familiar smell of garlic and onion filled the air as I opened my lunch bag to see what my mom had packed for me. On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom’s fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today, the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch.
“Emma, over here!” My new friend was waving her arms, trying to get my attention.
As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunchtimes came back. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses when I brought homemade Chinese food. I remembered how my embarrassment changed to anger when I complained about the smell to my mom.
I had argued with my mom that I wanted “normal” food for lunch. I remembered the look on my mom’s face, a mix between disappointment and confusion. But I was determined and she gave in. So for the rest days of middle school, my mom packed odorless (没有气味的), non-Chinese food like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day, she was in a rush and packed me leftovers(剩菜) from dinner.
As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch bag down under my seat. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a newly met girl, asked where my food was. “I’m not really hungry,” I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she spoke out, “Then, I’ll eat it!” The other girls laughed — clearly Katrina was known to be a big eater.
I didn’t want to be rude to a potentially new friend so I reluctantly(不情愿地) dragged out my lunch bag. The moment I opened my lunch box, I could practically taste the garlic and onion. The girls, piqued (激起好奇心) by the smell in the air, all curiously looked at the oval-shaped lunch box. I expected an “Ew” or a “What is that?”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I thought they would walk away or tell me to leave.

Graduation is a significant milestone for everyone. An 89-year-old man called Rene Neira had been trying to finish a degree since the 1950s. However, in the 1960s, he was so passionate about urban and economic development of the southside of San Antonio that he stopped school and got involved with the local government. From that time, one of his life goals was to earn a degree in economics. In 2017, the grandpa and his 19-year-old granddaughter both enrolled (入学) at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
“There were times when we would get lunch together, be in the library together, and just work silently side-by-side,” Melanie Salazar, Rene’s granddaughter, recalled. “He always had something to say, especially if his professors had different opinions than him,” Melanie said. “And there were often times when a professor would invite him to talk about the past.”
Rene’s college years weren’t easy. “He has worked very hard over time. Especially in recent years, with hearing loss and going through seasons of not having a car, there was a term where he had to take medical leave because he had a stroke, so he couldn’t go back to school that term. And then the pandemic started,” said Melanie.
After four years, their hard work finally paid off—they graduated. Together, they stood on the stage. Everyone broke into applause and cheered for this fantastic pair.
Their story has been making waves online. People have nothing but good words for them, “Awww... I love stories like this. This was such a beautiful moment. Congratulations to both of them. Grandpa definitely demonstrated that one shouldn’t give up their dream no matter how long it takes,” one wrote. Another wrote, “I’m motivated to go back to school myself, thanks to his example.”
Rene had the determination to finish his degree even at an advanced stage in his life. Hard work, patience, and determination are the keys to success, especially when the path is not easy or clear.
4. Why did Rene fail to get a degree when he was young?
A. He was not interested in university life then.
B. He devoted himself to city development.
C. He needed to work to support his family.
D. He was not good at his school work.
5. How was Rene’s college life?
A. It made him physically ill. B. It was full of surprise.
C. It was smooth and plain. D. It came with challenges.
6. What did people think of Rene’s experience?
A. Admirable. B. Doubtful. C. Funny. D. Pitiful.
7. What lesson can we learn from Rene’s story?
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. It is never too late to achieve one’s dream.
C. Genius without education is like silver in the mine.
D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

For all the importance we place on words, whether spoken or written, much of the communicating we do regularly comes through body language. According to pioneering research by Dr. Albert Mehrabian, only 7 percent of the meaning we get from human communication comes from the actual spoken words used. An additional 38 percent comes from tone of voice while a large 55 percent comes from body language alone.
Researchers have long identified that certain kinds of body movements and facial expressions can communicate information about the emotions we happen to be experiencing at the time. But are these emotional signals shaped by different cultures or are they universal to all humans?
A new research article published in the journal Emotion attempts to answer this question through a cross-cultural study. The researchers traveled to Ratanakini, Cambodia to study members of a distant Kreung hill tribe (部落). Living in Cambodia’s highlands, the Kreung are still largely remote from the outside world except for occasional visitors. They have yet to be assimilated (被同化) as many other societies have been.
In the study, a set of videos were prepared featuring an American woman, displaying three positive emotions (happiness, love, and pride) and three negative emotions (anger, fear, and sadness) using body language alone. The effectiveness of these videos was tested using thirty-four American participants. The videos were then presented to twenty-six Kreung individuals (eleven of whom were female). They were asked to describe the emotions being displayed in their own words.
Results showed that the Kreung participants tended to be quite accurate in guessing which emotions were being presented. The overall accuracy rate was sixty-two percent though their accuracy in detecting specific emotions such as anger and happiness was far higher. Overall, there was no significant discrepancy between Kreung and American raters in detecting emotions, though American participants did much better in detecting pride and love.
Still, the study does suggest that body movements can express emotions such as anger, fear, sadness, and love even for individuals belonging to different cultures. Emotional signals reflect basic human needs and desires that all humans share. Learning more about how basic biology and social factors shape the way we communicate may well be essential in helping to understand ourselves better.
8. What do the numbers mentioned in Paragraph 1 show?
A. The importance of body language in communication.
B. The relationship between spoken and written words.
C. The necessity of changing your tone of voice.
D. The effectiveness of various ways of communication.
9. What is the characteristic of the Kreung?
A. They live a hard and poor life. B. They make a living through tourism.
C. They enjoy a relatively unaffected culture. D. They use body language alone to communicate.
10. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Communication. B. Difference. C. Relation. D. Balance.
11. What did the researchers conclude from the study?
A. Humans share the same basic needs and desires.
B. Communicating with others can better understand ourselves.
C. Biology and social factors affect our body language.
D. Emotional body language may go beyond culture.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了肢体语言在交际中的重要性以及情感肢体语言可能超越文化,为人们通用的特性。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“According to pioneering research by Dr. Albert Mehrabian, only 7 percent of the meaning we get from human communication comes from the actual spoken words used. An additional 38 percent comes from tone of voice while a large 55 percent comes from body language alone.(根据阿尔伯特·梅赫拉比安博士的开创性研究,我们从人类交流中获得的意义只有7%来自实际使用的口语。另外38%来自声调,而55%来自肢体语言)”可推知,这些数字表明肢体语言在交际中的重要性。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Living in Cambodia’s highlands, the Kreung are still largely remote from the outside world except for occasional visitors. They have yet to be assimilated (被同化) as many other societies have been.(克伦族生活在柬埔寨的高地,除了偶尔有游客来访外,他们基本上与外界隔绝。他们还没有像许多其他社会一样被同化)”可知,他们享有相对不受外界影响的文化。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“there was no significant”以及后文“though American participants did much better in detecting pride and love”中though表示转折关系,可推知,尽管美国参与者在判断自豪感和爱方面做得更好,但是Kreung和美国参加者在判断情绪方面没有显著差异。故划线词“discrepancy”意为“差异”。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Still, the study does suggest that body movements can express emotions such as anger, fear, sadness, and love even for individuals belonging to different cultures.(尽管如此,这项研究确实表明,身体动作可以表达愤怒、恐惧、悲伤和爱等情绪,甚至对于属于不同文化的人来说也是如此)”可知,情感肢体语言可能超越文化,为人们通用。故选D。

Imagine walking through a forest as a sweet scent travels through the air. A little farther down the path, some unpleasant smell makes you catch your breath. Upon investigation, you find that both of them come from flowers — but why do flowers have different smells?
It’s actually part of a strategy that helps flowering plants reproduce themselves and spread their species. Certain scents help these flowers solve a big problem. Plants flower to produce seeds that can go on to become new plants. To make an available seed, pollen (花粉) from one part of the flower must get fertilized (受精) in another part of the flower. Some plants can be pollinated by themselves, using their own pollen to get fertilized, while others need help to get pollen from another plant of the same species — that’s called cross-pollination.
So how does one plant get some other plants’ pollen? Sometimes gravity helps pollen fall into a place. Sometimes wind carries it. Flowers pollinated by the wind don’t produce a scent. Other flowers are pollinated by birds, bats, or insects carrying the pollen from one flower to another. In these cases, the flowers might have a scent which acts as a kind of welcome sign for just the appropriate pollinator.
An orchid growing in the tropical forest or a rose in your garden needs to attract a pollinator to bring pollen from flowers of the same species. However, there are flowers which look similar but are from other species. To distinguish itself from other flowers, each flower gives off a unique scent to draw specific pollinators.
Similar to the perfumes (香水) at a department store counter, flower scents are made from various kinds of chemicals which evaporate (蒸发) easily and float through the air. Some factors such as the amount of the chemical and its interaction with other chemicals are not as important as the type of the chemical when it comes to giving the flower its unique scent. The scent of a rose may consist of as many as 400 different chemicals.
12. What does the big problem of flowers refer to?
A. Having very few pollinators. B. Struggling to produce enough seeds.
C Being unable to produce a sweet scent. D. Having difficulty in self-pollination.
13. Why do flowers of different species give off different scents?
A. To clean the air. B. To attract the right pollinators.
C To make the environment pleasant. D. To protect themselves against destroyers.
14. Which factor plays a bigger role in creating the special scent of flowers?
A. The type of chemicals. B. The quantity of chemicals.
C. The elements of chemicals. D. The interaction with other chemicals.
15. What would be the best title for the text?
A. How do flowers produce seeds? B. Why do flowers smell differently?
C. Why do plants set off unique scents? D. How do pollinators distinguish plants?
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文以森林中花香不同引出问题,解释花朵散发不同气味是为吸引合适传粉者、帮助结籽繁殖,其独特气味主要由化学物质种类决定。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s actually part of a strategy that helps flowering plants reproduce themselves and spread their species. Certain scents help these flowers solve a big problem. Plants flower to produce seeds that can go on to become new plants. To make an available seed, pollen (花粉) from one part of the flower must get fertilized (受精) in another part of the flower. Some plants can be pollinated by themselves, using their own pollen to get fertilized, while others need help to get pollen from another plant of the same species — that’s called cross-pollination.(实际上,这是一项有助于开花植物自我繁殖并传播物种的策略的一部分。某些气味有助于这些花朵解决一个重大问题。植物开花是为了产生种子,这些种子能够发育成新的植物。要获得可用的种子,花朵中一个部位的花粉必须在花朵的另一个部位完成受精过程。有些植物能够依靠自身完成授粉,利用自身的花粉进行受精,而其他植物则需要来自同一物种另一株植物的花粉来实现授粉——这就是所谓的异花授粉)”可知,花朵的这个大问题指的是自我授粉存在困难。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“To distinguish itself from other flowers, each flower gives off a unique scent to draw specific pollinators.(为了与其他花朵区分开来,每种花朵都会散发出独特的香气,以吸引特定的传粉者)”可知,不同种类的花会散发出不同的气味是为了吸引合适的传粉者。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Some factors such as the amount of the chemical and its interaction with other chemicals are not as important as the type of the chemical when it comes to giving the flower its unique scent.(在赋予花朵独特香气方面,诸如化学物质的用量及其与其他化学物质的相互作用等因素,并不如化学物质的种类那么重要)”可知,在产生花朵独特气味的过程中,化学物质的种类起着更大的作用。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Imagine walking through a forest as a sweet scent travels through the air. A little farther down the path, some unpleasant smell makes you catch your breath. Upon investigation, you find that both of them come from flowers — but why do flowers have different smells?(想象一下,当你漫步在森林之中时,一股美妙的香气在空气中弥漫开来。沿着小路再往前走一段,一阵难闻的气味让你屏住了呼吸。经过一番调查,你会发现这两种气味都源自花朵——但为什么花朵会有不同的气味呢?)”结合本文以森林中花香不同引出问题,解释花朵散发不同气味是为吸引合适传粉者、帮助结籽繁殖,其独特气味主要由化学物质种类决定。可知,B选项“花朵为何会有不同的气味?”最符合文章标题。故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了课堂辩论有益学生成长,但成功组织不易。文章从选题、介绍知识点、确定流程、制定规则四方面给出建议,以帮助顺利开展课堂辩论。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Conducting a classroom debate purposefully involves students in the topic of the class and it can help students develop various skills.(有目的性地开展课堂辩论能让学生参与到课堂主题中来,并且还能帮助学生提升多种能力)”以及后文“Because debating is a unique language art that mixes persuasion with presentation, which is difficult to master.(因为辩论是一种独特的语言艺术,它将说服与表达相结合,这是一项难以掌握的技能)”可知,前一句说:课堂辩论能让学生参与话题、培养多种技能。后一句说:因为辩论是很难掌握的语言艺术。故这里需要一个转折句,从“辩论有好处” 转到 “辩论不好组织”。故E选项“然而,成功组织一场辩论是有挑战性的”与后文“很难掌握” 形成因果衔接,逻辑最通顺。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Avoid a topic that’s too complex or something students cannot relate to.(避免选择过于复杂的话题,也不要选择学生无法理解的内容)”以及后文“Then, the class debate will possibly fail.(那么,这次班级辩论可能会失败)”可知,前一句:要避免太复杂或学生不熟悉的话题。后一句:那么,课堂辩论可能会失败。这里需要表达如果不这样做会怎样。故G选项“否则,学生会觉得辩论太难、太吃力”正好解释了为什么辩论会失败,上下文连贯。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文“When students hear the debate topic, they might not initially understand why that particular issue is debatable. Before asking participants to research and prepare their arguments, organizers should present the debate to both sides. If the required language isn’t the students first language, the relevant vocabulary should also be offered.(当学生们听到辩论的主题时,他们可能起初并不明白为什么这个特定的问题会有争议性。在要求参与者进行研究并准备论点之前,组织者应该向双方展示这场辩论。如果所要求使用的语言不是学生的母语,那么相关的词汇也应该提供给他们)”可知,前一句:要向学生介绍关键问题和词汇,如果不是母语还要提供相关词汇。这里需要一个结果句,说明这样做的好处。故C选项“因此,他们会更自信地表达观点” 承接上文的准备工作,顺理成章。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据上文“How? It depends on students’ age, level and whether it’s a competitive debate or simply a classroom debate to get students thinking and talking about a particular issue.(怎么?这取决于学生的年龄、水平,以及是参加竞争性的辩论还是仅仅在课堂上进行讨论,目的是让学生产生思考并就某个特定问题展开交流)”以及后文“Introduce the debate’s topic. Divide students into two groups. Give students time to prepare. Let them present their position and rebuttal (辩驳). Close statements. Offer judgement.(介绍辩论的主题。将学生分成两组。给学生时间做准备。让他们陈述自己的观点并进行反驳。结束陈述。给出评判)”可知,前一句讲选择辩论形式,后文直接列出步骤:介绍话题、分组、准备、发言、总结等。这里需要一句引出具体流程的句子。故B选项“一种常见的简化辩论流程如下”完美引出后面的步骤,逻辑清晰。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据本段内容“It’s not easy for students to stand up before the class, express their opinions, and have others judge what they say. So let all students remember the following requirements. Speak politely. Don’t interrupt others when they’re speaking. Be open-minded. Keep to your given time.(对于学生来说,站在全班同学面前发表自己的观点,并让他人评判自己的言论并非易事。因此,希望所有同学都能牢记以下几点要求:说话要礼貌。他人发言时不要打断。要保持开放的心态。遵守规定的时间)”可知,本段整段都在讲:要礼貌、不打断、思想开放、遵守时间。这些都属于规则要求。故A选项“设定课堂辩论规则”概括整段内容,作为段落小标题最合适。故选A。

【答案】参考范文
First Aid Knowledge Matters!
As a student, I never fully realized the importance of first aid until last week, when an incident in our school cafeteria brought its value into sharp focus.
When my classmate spilled hot soup on his hand, I calmly guided him to the washroom. Following our first aid training, I had him hold the burn under cool running water for a full ten minutes. After gently drying it, I reminded him not to touch any blisters. We then visited the school clinic together.
First aid knowledge transforms ordinary bystanders into capable first responders during an emergency. It’s not just about techniques — it’s about readiness, compassion, and building a safer community. I strongly encourage every student to learn these vital skills, because helping each other starts with knowing how.

47. 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。
The familiar smell of garlic and onion filled the air as I opened my lunch bag to see what my mom had packed for me. On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom’s fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today, the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch.
“Emma, over here!” My new friend was waving her arms, trying to get my attention.
As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunchtimes came back. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses when I brought homemade Chinese food. I remembered how my embarrassment changed to anger when I complained about the smell to my mom.
I had argued with my mom that I wanted “normal” food for lunch. I remembered the look on my mom’s face, a mix between disappointment and confusion. But I was determined and she gave in. So for the rest days of middle school, my mom packed odorless (没有气味的), non-Chinese food like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day, she was in a rush and packed me leftovers(剩菜) from dinner.
As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch bag down under my seat. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a newly met girl, asked where my food was. “I’m not really hungry,” I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she spoke out, “Then, I’ll eat it!” The other girls laughed — clearly Katrina was known to be a big eater.
I didn’t want to be rude to a potentially new friend so I reluctantly(不情愿地) dragged out my lunch bag. The moment I opened my lunch box, I could practically taste the garlic and onion. The girls, piqued (激起好奇心) by the smell in the air, all curiously looked at the oval-shaped lunch box. I expected an “Ew” or a “What is that?”

I thought they would walk away or tell me to leave.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I arrived home, my mom asked how my day went.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I thought they would walk away or tell me to leave. What I did not expect was that Katrina immediately grabbed a small piece of tofu and ate it. And I most certainly did not expect her to encourage the rest of the table to try my lunch. My new friends were going on about how lucky I was that my mom took the time to prepare a cooked meal for me. They were surprised by the fact that tofu could actually taste good. While I didn’t get to eat any of my mom’s fried tofu, I was full of pride and gratitude.
When I arrived home, my mom asked how my day went. Answering with a simple “Good,” I pulled out my lunch box from my bag. “I’m sorry, but I didn’t have time to buy bread or ham yesterday.” But when she noticed that the container was empty, she hesitated before asking “How was the food?” I paused a moment before I replied, “Perfect, mom. If it’s not too much trouble, can I still have fried tofu for lunch tomorrow?” (161 words)
