Passage 1
【答案】
He knew he couldn’t just walk away and let it stay this way. Mark rolled up his sleeves determinedly. First, he picked up all the visible trash along the bank, filling several large garbage bags. He then used a long stick to fish out the floating items in the water. As he worked, some local kids noticed what he was doing and came over to help. Encouraged by their enthusiasm, Mark explained the importance of keeping the river clean. Together, they made a plan to clean the river regularly.
The river looked much better, but Mark didn’t stop there. He decided to raise awareness about environmental protection in the whole town. He organized a community meeting, showing pictures of the river’s past and present. People were shocked and realized their mistakes. With everyone’s support, Mark started a campaign to plant trees along the riverbank and set up signs to remind people not to litter. Slowly but surely, the river began to regain its former beauty, and Mark’s childhood paradise was coming back to life. Guardians of the environment! Your efforts make a big difference in keeping our village beautiful and clean.”
Passage 2
【答案】
The gravity of her words sunk in as we all realised the importance of preserving such places for the future. We all started cleaning up the trash, using the gloves and garbage bags that had been provided for us. After a couple of hours, we cleaned ourselves up and had lunch together, making sure to take all the leftover plates and glasses with us. We were all exhausted, but the feeling that we had done something meaningful for a great cause made it all worthwhile.
I shared the experience with my parents, who decided to visit the beach again on Sunday. My father booked a bus for the trip. When we arrived, my sister posted a picture on Instagram and Facebook of us all cleaning the beach. Soon, more people showed up, each carrying a bag to collect plastic and metal for proper disposal and recycling. After some hard work, the entire beach was cleaned. Small actions, like picking up trash and recycling, can help ensure our oceans remain healthy and safe for marine life. Every little action we take makes a big difference.
Passage 3
【答案】
The sign caught the eye of a local journalist, Sara, who smiled and walked over to me. “That’s a brave stand you’re taking. Mind telling me what this place means to you?” she asked kindly. Her warm tone encouraged me to pour out my heart. I told her about the butterflies, the crickets’ songs, the clean smell of grass, and my fear of losing this secret garden to cold concrete. Sara listened intently, taking notes and occasionally snapping photos of the corner and my determined, though slightly tearful, face. She said,“I think your story could inspire others. Great job speaking up for what you love.”
The news reported by Sara spread throughout the community. The next day, my story and a picture of me holding the sign appeared in the local newspaper. To my surprise, many neighbors read it and started seeing the corner with new eyes. They noticed the wildflowers they had never stopped to admire and the birdsong that was often drowned out by traffic. Over the following weekend, a small group of volunteers showed up with gloves and trash bags. Together, we cleaned up the old chairs and the broken bicycle wheel. Standing there, watching people work together, I realized that Mama was right.
Passage 4
【答案】
With Dr. Elena’ s guidance, Timmy and his friends launched a massive reef restoration project. They worked tirelessly every day, removing debris from the ocean floor and planting new coral. Dr. Elena taught them advanced techniques to ensure the corals would survive. Timmy and his friends also organized educational workshops for the local community, spreading awareness about the importance of ocean conservation. Their efforts attracted more volunteers, and soon the project gained progress. The local government took notice and provided additional resources to support their work. Timmy felt a growing sense of accomplishment as he saw the community come together for a common cause.
Slowly but surely, the reefs began to show signs of life. New coral started to grow, and marine life gradually returned to the area. Timmy and his friends continued to monitor the progress, collecting data and sharing their findings with Dr. Elena. The once damaged reefs were now on the path to recovery. Timmy’ s dream of becoming a marine biologist seemed closer than ever. He realized that with devotion and the support of others, even the most challenging difficulties could be overcome. The experience not only restored the reefs but also strengthened Timmy’ s resolve to protect the ocean for future generations.
Passage 5
【答案】
The next step was to spread the word to more kids in the community. Armed with posters, we visited schools, community centers, and playgrounds. We passionately shared our plan and showed pictures of the pond’s once-beautiful state. The kids, initially hesitant, perked up when we described how cleaning might be fun and how it would restore the pond’s future. We also created a social media group, posting updates and appealing for more help. Slowly but surely, more and more kids joined our cause. Before long, we had well over twenty enthusiastic volunteers, far exceeding my initial estimate.
Finally, the big cleaning day arrived. Equipped with long-handled scoops, waterproof boots, and garbage bins, we gathered around the pond. Everyone was full of energy, ready to take on the challenge. We carefully scooped up trash from the water surface, while others collected litter on the banks. As we worked, a sense of unity and purpose filled the air. After hours of hard work, the pond was transformed. The water started to regain its clarity, and the foul smell dissipated. Looking at our work, we felt a great sense of achievement, knowing that we had made a real difference to our community.

Passage 1
【答案】
This time, I decided to give Dad a present. I named the asteroid “Matt’s Star” to honor him. When I told Dad about it on the phone, he fell silent for a while. Then he said, “Betty, that’s the best gift I’ve ever received.” I explained that the asteroid was small but special, just like the star he gave me years ago. I also told him that whenever he looked up at the sky, he could think of it as a symbol of our love, which would never fade.
Dad said he owed me an apology for that Christmas. “I was so poor then that I couldn’t give you a real present,” he said with a sigh. I told him that Betty’s Planet was the most precious gift because it taught me to find joy in simple things. I added that if there had not been that Christmas, I might not have developed a love for astronomy, which led me to discover the asteroid. Dad laughed and said he was proud of me, and from that day on, we often talked about “our stars” on the phone.
Passage 2
【答案】
It was my turn to give him help. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my own racing heart. Then, I said to him, “Look at me, Matthew. We’re siblings, and I will always be with you.” Slowly but surely, we managed to free ourselves from the seat belts and crawled out of the car. I clumsily applied a clean cloth to his arm to stop bleeding and tried to bandage his wound carefully. After searching the trunk, I found a colourful rope and used it to make a large SOS sign in the sand, hoping to be found.
Hours later, the rescue team found us. They praised us for our self rescue awareness, saying they were on duty when they found our sign. I knew it was my care for my brother that gave me courage to stay cool. Staring at the bandage on his arm, Matthew showed a comforting smile, weak but proud. With the help of the rescue team, we safely returned home. I finally understood that true sibling love came from company, care and help.
Passage 3
【答案】
The door creaked open slowly. There stood Dad, his face weary and lined with exhaustion. But his eyes lit up with love when he saw Lily. “Happy birthday, my dear,” he said softly. Lily’s eyes scanned his tired figure, thinking of the journal entries — his sacrifices, his silent love. All the anger and disappointment melted away. She now saw beyond his absences to the love that drove his actions. “Dad,” she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.
Holding the journal tightly, Lily couldn’t hold back her tears. She rushed to Dad and hugged him tightly. “Dad, I love you. Thank you for everything,” she sobbed. Initially surprised, Dad soon understood as he saw the journal. He stroked her hair gently, “I’m sorry I’ve been away so much.” In that embrace, they bridged the gap of unspoken words. From that moment, Lily knew their bond was deeper than she’d ever thought, rooted in a father’s silent devotion and a daughter’s new-found understanding.
Passage 4
After sending the email, I felt a heavy weight on my mind. Would he respond? I waited for his reply, nervously opening up the mail each day. There was no reply. To my surprise, I received a hand-written letter from my father. I read the letter again and again, disbelief washing over me — it wasn’t the distant, silent dad I thought but someone wise and approachable. The sweet childhood memories flooded in my mind. I had lost my Ultra man. His words aroused my desire to meet him, to seek for the love that we had lost for so long.
I visited my father soon after receiving his letter. On seeing my grey-haired father, I threw my arms around him tightly. The disappointment of the past seemed to melt away, replaced by a shared history of laughter, tears, and the unspoken desire for connection. Though our paths had been apart, they were now coming back together. It was a conversation filled with a quiet understanding. It was a conversation filled with shared openness. It was a conversation filled with unexpected warmth. Together, we stepped forward on a journey towards healing and forgiveness between a father and a son.
Passage 5
By morning, the cookies were ready, and her apron lay folded on the chair. I stood there for a long time, gazing at the flour-dusted apron that still seemed to hold her warmth. Mom must have stayed up late, just to make those cookies. And without rest, she would work through another exhausting day. At school, as my classmates ate the cookies happily and showered me with praise, shame rose like a wave inside me. I couldn’t shake the image of her tying that apron, not to cook for joy, but for me. And at that moment, I decided to do something to ease her burden.
That evening, I walked into the kitchen, picked up the folded apron, and for the first time, tied it around my own waist. The cloth was stiff, the strings slightly twisted, but I wore it with care. I washed dishes, cleaned the stove, and swept the floor. Only then did I feel the weight she had quietly borne for so long. The apron smelled faintly of flour and soap — a familiar comfort. As I folded it again, I held it to my chest, not just as a piece of cloth, but as love from my mother. From that day on, I kept it in my drawer, not for use, but as a reminder of Mom’s love stitched into daily life.

Passage 1
【答案】
Mr Brown was attracted by the painting. “Who painted this?”Mr Brown asked the vendor. After knowing Sophia’s address , he set off for her apartment. By sunset, he stood at Sophia’s doorstep , holding the painting. “This,” he said, pointing to the girl’s hopeful smile, “is art that speaks to the soul.” Mr Brown asked Sophia if she had any other pieces. Sophia brought out all her works. After seeing them, he praised Sophia highly. He proposed to take all her paintings and told her that he wanted to use them to hold an exhibition. Sophia agreed without hesitation.
Mr Brown took Sophia’s paintings and arranged a gallery exhibition in the city. Crowds gathered around her paintings, and their eyes widened with wonder. Some newspapers called her “the painter of hope”. The exhibition changed Sophia’s life. She began teaching free art classes in a studio for children who, like her former self, believed dreams were too heavy to carry. Sophia’s story reminds us that courage isn’t about waiting for storms to pass, but it’s about learning to paint in the rain. We should believe every brushstroke of persistence and every color of hope can turn ordinary struggles into extraordinary masterpieces.
Passage 2
【答案】
1: Early the next morning, John left home with the money. He rushed to a shop and bought the special paints and brushes needed for the competition. Excitement and determination filled his heart as he hurried back to his favorite spot in the forest. With each stroke of his brush, he poured his love for nature onto the canvas, hoping to create a masterpiece that would capture the beauty of the forest. Time slipped by at the tip of his brush. He eventually finished his painting in the afternoon. With a sense of pride and accomplishment, John carefully packed up his supplies and went into town to submit his entry.
A week later, John received a phone call at home. The caller informed John that he had won the first prize worth $500 in the drawing competition. Tears of joy streamed down John’s face as he shared the news with his mother. At first, she was shocked, but then she smiled at him. “I should have believed in you more,” she thought. From then on, she encouraged John to pursue his passion for art. With his mother’s full support, John devoted himself entirely to his chosen field and became a very successful artist.
Passage 3
【答案】
Taking a deep breath, Emily tapped to open the email. Her heart pounded as she read the words: “Congratulations! We are pleased to offer you a place in our art academy.” She reread the message, her fingers trembling. The academy had reviewed her recent portfolio, particularly impressed by the collaborative artwork displayed at the hospital. Glancing at the vibrant gallery around her, she realized her journey wasn’t about technical perfection but about expressing truth and hope.
When Emily shared the news with the kids, tears filled her eyes. The children erupted in cheers, their faces lit with pride.The little boy who drew the flying dinosaur jumped up and down, shouting, “I told you my dinosaur was magic! He flew your painting to the academy!” The girl in the wheelchair beamed, squeezing Emily’s hand. “See? Your brush took you somewhere amazing too!” At that moment, Emily understood: her greatest masterpiece wasn’t on canvas — it was the spark she’d ignited in their hearts.
Passage 4
【答案】
Ms. Kattan saw my hesitation and came over. She stood beside my empty paper and asked softly, “What’s wrong?” I felt embarrassed, saying my neighbourhood was too plain to draw. She smiled and told me beauty exists everywhere. “You just need to find it with your own view.” Her words made me think. I thought about my neighborhood: the faded pink heart on the wall, the old lady’s red flowers in an old pot. My mind began to picture the outline of my street.
I took a breath and picked up my brush. I dipped it in gray paint and made small dots for the old buildings in my neighborhood. I added pink dots for the faded heart on the wall and red dots for the flowers. When I finished, the dots formed my street just like the one I’d imagined. Ms. Kattan clapped gently, “You turned plain into magic.” A classmate cheered, “I see your home’s story!” I smiled, seeing how my mind’s outline had filled with the tiny, lovely things I’d never noticed before.
Passage 5
【答案】
After the exhibition, Emma approached Mary and handed her the photo she had taken. Mary stared at the photo and froze. It captured her in the midst of her passionate explanation, her eyes shining with joy, her hands gesturing and her whole being radiating with love for her work. For the first time, she didn’t feel embarrassed about her weight or her face shape. Instead, she saw a woman completely in her element, sharing her art with the world. And she recognized beauty which was not defined by conventional standards but by the very qualities she always captured in others.Paragraph 2:
That photograph became a turning point for Mary. Mary realized she had been applying different standards to herself than to her subjects. When she photographed others, she always focused on capturing their spirit and their genuine moments. Yet, she had denied herself the same kindness. Determined to change that, she began taking self-portraits as acts of celebration rather than criticism. Through this process, Mary discovered that true beauty goes beyond the physical appearance; it’s about embracing who you are, finding your own value and letting your passion shine through.

Passage 1
【答案】
With that thought, Leo hurried home and picked up his pencil. All through the night, he worked — sketching, erasing, and redrawing, completely absorbed in the moment. The paper became messy, covered with uneven lines. However, so eager was Leo to express his concern for the planet that he no longer cared about the poster’s appearance. He sketched a tired Earth sitting alone in a park, holding a cardboard sign that read “I’m doing my best. Are you?” Around it, he drew scenes from his own life like garbage on sidewalks and factories in the distance. Though the drawings lacked technical perfection, they were real. And that, Leo thought, might just be enough.
On the day of the competition, Leo submitted his poster with repeated revisions. So powerful was its message that students who usually walked past without interest stopped to look. Many were moved, not by how the poster looked, but by what it said. The judges recognized its emotional weight too, awarding it the “Best Impact Award”. Hung at the school entrance, the poster sparked genuine conversations. It was the message that stayed in their minds. From that day on, Leo understood something he had never believed before: Truth can be more powerful than perfection.
Passage 2
【答案】
One evening, tired of my own worry, I finally picked up the script and began to read. To my surprise, the character’s feelings of being an outsider slowly started to make sense to me. I found myself reading his lines out loud in my quiet room. Each time, I imagined the scenes not as a performance, but as a true story I needed to tell. Ms. Jenkins stayed after school to practice with me, offering small corrections and constant encouragement. Her belief became a tiny, steady light in my growing confidence.
On the night of the performance, standing in the dark behind the curtain, I took a deep breath. I could hear the murmur of the audience. My hands were cold, but my mind was clear. I remembered Ms. Jenkins’ words: “Just tell the story.” The curtain rose, and the bright lights hit my face. Though still scared, I spoke the first line. The words flowed out, not from memory, but from a place of understanding. I wasn’t just a student on a stage anymore; for those moments, I truly was the character, sharing his truth. When the final line ended, the silence was broken by warm applause.
Passage 3
【答案】
“What impressed you most in the experiment?” I asked. Hands shot up, and one student said, “The magnesium ribbon burned so brightly, even though it turned into powder at the end.” I nodded, “Exactly! It’s like our basketball game. The process of striving, the teamwork, and the effort you put in are what truly matter, not just the final score.” The students seemed to understand, their faces brightening. I could see the wheels turning in their minds as they connected the experiment to their own experiences.
With my encouragement, Tom opened up and shared more. “I realized we shouldn’t be too focused on winning or losing,” he said. “We should enjoy the process and learn from it.” The class nodded in agreement. From then on, they started to train harder, focusing on improving their skills rather than just the outcome. Over time, their efforts paid off. In the next school activity, they performed exceptionally well, showing great teamwork and a positive attitude.
Passage 4
【答案】
Burying my face behind the piano lid, I was surprised when its polished surface reflected Mr. Reed approaching. His shadow fell across my trembling hands. He said softly, “I once forgot every note at my first concert.” He placed a sheet of lyrics before me. “Meet me after school Mondays? We’ll practice step by step.” His kindness warmed my frozen heart. That afternoon, we started with belly breathing. “Feel your feet root to the ground,” he guided. Though my voice still quivered, the piano lid no longer hid my tears of hope.
Three weeks later, holding the same microphone with sweat, I noticed raindrops tracing paths on the window. Adjust, stand, breathe and focus. I mouthed the steps. As the piano intro began, my feet planted firmly. This time, my voice was clear and steady. I felt the music flow through me, and I knew I had improved. When the last note faded, silence hung for a breath — then applause erupted like summer rain. Mr. Reed nodded and smiled, eyes crinkling. I had conquered my fear, and I knew I could face any challenge ahead.

Passage 1
Mark’s hometown is a quiet little place in the countryside, with a beautiful river flowing gently through its center. When he was a kid, this river was always crystal-clear —its surface shone like countless small pieces of silver under the warm sun, and groups of colorful small fish swam freely in the shallow, cool waters. It was undoubtedly Mark’s favorite spot in the whole town; every weekend, he’d gather his closest friends, grab their old fishing poles, and sit on the smooth, round stones by the grassy bank, chatting loudly about their daily lives and patiently waiting for fish to bite.
Last year, Mark left for another city to go to high school. He missed his peaceful hometown a lot, especially the beloved river that held so many of his childhood memories. During the long summer holiday, he packed his bags in excitement and couldn’t wait to come back home.
But when Mark arrived at the river that sunny afternoon, he was completely shocked. The clear, lively river he remembered so well was gone. The water wasn’t transparent and clean anymore, and the once tidy bank was full of dirty trash. He stood there, frozen, staring at the terrible scene, and could hardly believe his own eyes. The happy, laughter-filled memories of fishing with friends suddenly felt so far away, as if they belonged to another world.
He slowly walked closer and saw more heartbreaking sights: plastic bottles, worn paper food wrappers, and knotted, dirty fishing lines were everywhere. Some empty bait tins (鱼饵罐) even floated lazily in the water. The river water looked dark and cloudy, losing all its former brightness, and when a light wind blew, it gave off an unpleasant smell that made Mark frown deeply.
Mark felt a strong wave of heavy sadness welling up in his heart. He kept thinking about how clean, clear and lively the river used to be in his childhood, and how it had given him so many joyful, unforgettable days with his friends.

Passage 2
My exams were going on and they were quite difficult, which made me really anxious. Our principal promised that anyone who scored at least 90 percent would go on a school trip.
There was a mix of emotions in our classroom — some students were eager to go on the trip, while others were really stressed and terrified about the exams. We didn’t know where we would be going, and our teacher told us that it was a surprise.
I was nervous about my maths result because my percentage was always below my expectations. However, when the result was announced, I was overjoyed to find I had scored 94 percent in maths, besides getting about 90 percent in all the other subjects! I was more excited about my marks than the trip, because it was something I didn’t expect.
As promised, our principal announced the date of the trip for the high scorers of all the sections. On the decided day, school buses took us and our teachers to our surprise destination. It turned out that our destination was a beach. We were overjoyed, but soon our joy turned to concern as we saw the area. It was filled with rubbish of all kinds.
I remembered that in our English exam, we had a comprehension passage about recycling and it suddenly clicked — this was the reason we were there: to help clean up the beach to protect the marine animals from pollution.
Just then, our principal gathered all the students and said, “The surprise destination was meant to amaze us, as it was supposed to be a place for us to enjoy. However, due to the harmful human practices, this once beautiful place has become not only harmful to us, but also to marine life.”

Passage 3
I am Tia. The corner of 71st Street and Prospect was my corner. To me, it was like a wide-open treasure box. When my sisters and brothers were chasing each other, and I felt like the walls of our apartment were about to burst, I ran down to my corner. My sneakers pounded the pavement, then they took me on a flying leap into a sea of green. I waded through the tall grass, my jeans swished with every step. Butterflies and crickets (蟋蟀) scared up at my feet. I sat down, closed my eyes and listened to their songs. The grass smelt clean and fresh. The sun warmed my skin, and I wondered why I was the only one who’s thankful for this place.
Some folks didn’t respect it. They passed by all day long and never took the time to peek inside. They even threw trash from their car windows. There was junk here- old chairs, a broken bicycle wheel. I worried that soon there would be more garbage than birds.
One day, the city announced a plan to pave it over for a parking lot. Heartbroken, I ran to my room and slammed the door. “It just needs some cleaning up, that’s all. How come they can’t see that?” Out my window I could see my corner. Mama knocked softly at the door and stepped in. “Tia, you see something in that corner that most folks don’t. You got to make them see what you see. Make some noise about it.”
Early the next morning, I dragged a chair down to the corner. On a card-board I painted NO PARKING LOT! SAVE OUR NATURE! in large letters. I sat down and waited. Most people in the community didn’t pay any attention to me. My effort seemed in vain, attracting more ridicule (嘲笑) than support. I swallowed hard and felt my sign drop to the ground.

Passage 4
In the small coastal town of Seabrook, there lived a young boy named Timmy who had a determined love for the ocean. Every day after school, he would rush to the shore, spending hours exploring wave pools, and collecting seashells. He is very studious and seizes every possible opportunity to learn about the ocean. He often goes to the town library to absorb knowledge about the ocean from books as well. The more he learned, the more he became obsessed with the ocean. He is always dreaming of becoming a marine (海洋的) biologist.
However, one unusual afternoon, a powerful and unexpected storm swept through the town, leaving destruction in its wake. The once-dynamic coral reefs (珊瑚礁) off the coast were now covered in debris (残骸), and the local marine life was struggling to survive.
Timmy was heartbroken. He felt a deep sense of responsibility to help restore the reefs and protect the ocean’ s inhabitants. With the support of his family and a few like-minded friends, he organized a beach cleanup and started a fundraising campaign to raise awareness about ocean conservation. But despite their best efforts, progress was slow, and Timmy began to lose hope.
One sunny morning, as Timmy sat on the beach, staring out at the damaged reefs, he noticed a group of divers approaching the shore. Among them was a famous marine biologist who had heard about Timmy’ s story and was eager to help.
The marine biologist, Dr. Elena, approached Timmy with a warm smile. “I’ ve heard so much about your contribution to ocean conservation,” she said. “I’m here to offer my help and expertise in restoring the coral reefs. This is my contact information. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.” Timmy’ s eyes lit up with hope as he listened to Dr. Elena’ s plan. She explained how they could work together to remove the debris, plant new coral, and monitor the reef’ s recovery. Heartbroken no more, Timmy felt a renewed sense of purpose and determination.

Passage 5
Located in the heart of our community, there was a pond that had long been a source of joy and peace. In the past, its clear waters sparkled (闪耀) like diamonds under the sun, and the gentle rustling (沙沙声) of the leaves along the banks created a pleasant tune. Colorful fish and frogs made it their home, and kids in the neighborhood would spend hours by the water, observing the wonders of nature.
However, over time, the pond became a victim of neglect and littering. Empty plastic bottles, fast-food wrappers (包装袋), and even old bicycles were carelessly thrown into the water. The once-clear waters turned dark, and a strange smell began to hang over the area, driving away the wildlife.
One sunny afternoon, I took a walk around the pond and was shocked by its sorry state. Determined to do something about it, I took out my phone and started taking pictures from every angle. Each image recorded the extent of the pollution, serving as a reminder of the urgent need for action.
After getting home, I sat down and crafted a detailed plan. I estimated that we would need at least twenty volunteers to cover all areas of the pond. I made a list of necessary tools, such as long-handled scoops, waterproof boots, and garbage bins. Then, I spent hours designing posters with pictures of the polluted pond and the words “Let’s Bring Back Our Shining Pond.”
I first shared my plan with my closest friends. We met at a nearby playground, and as I showed them the pictures, they were horrified. “I can’t believe it’s become like this,” shouted Jack. “We used to have so much fun here,” added Emily, her voice filled with sadness. I then presented my plan, and without hesitation, they all agreed to help.

Passage 1
My Dad, Matt, lost his job and when Christmas came, we had no money at all. On Christmas Eve, Dad took me into our yard. I was five that year and I sat next to Dad and we looked up at the sky, “Pick out your favorite star,” Dad said. He told me I could have one star for keeps. He said it was my Christmas present.
“You can’t give me a star! No one owns the stars.” “That’s right, Betty. No one else owns them. You just have to claim it before anyone else does.”
I looked up to the stars and tried to figure out which was the best one. I could see hundreds, maybe thousands or even millions, hanging in the clear sky. There was one in particular, in the west above the mountains but low in the sky, which shone more brightly than all the rest. I pointed and claimed it. Dad smiled, telling me I chose Venus. It looked bigger and brighter because it was much closer than other stars. It reflected the light of the sun. “I like it anyway,” I said. “Alright,” Dad agreed. “It’s Christmas. You can have a planet if you want.”
From then on, Venus got a new name in our family, Betty’s Planet. After Christmas, Dad found another job in the mine and he worked like mad. Gradually, we could make ends meet and there were presents under the Christmas tree and cakes when it was my birthday. But deep down, no present could match Betty’s Planet.
Years later, I entered university, majoring in engineering, but I stuck to my passion for astronomy in my spare time. In my junior year, I became the first undergraduate ever to discover an asteroid (小行星) when examining images of thousands of asteroids on my computer, due to which I was given the right to name this asteroid according to the tradition of International Astronomical Union.

Passage 2
My brother Matthew had always expected to have a little brother. When I was born, he was disappointed to have a sister. To him, I was an annoyance, small, weak, and cowardly (胆小的) and he often found comfort in teasing me. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would have real friendship like other brother and sister, caring and helping each other.
It was not until he went to university that he unexpectedly invited me to visit him on his campus for the first time. In his room, he handed me a drink, telling me his struggle for making new friends and how tough it was for him to study Maths. From that day on, we talked more and our bond seemed to get changed.
One Thanksgiving, I was criticised by dad and didn’t want to attend the family dinner. Matthew stayed with me and we had dinner together — just the two of us. My big brother, once a man I felt distant from, became the person who accompanied me when I was in low spirits.
In the first summer vacation of my university, Matthew suggested taking me to make an go off-road driving on 85,000 acres of desert in California. We learned some first aid methods and survival tips, knowing how to deal with minor injuries and send out a signal for help in a remote desert. After we got everything prepared, our adventure journey started and we enjoyed ourselves on the way. Unfortunately, on a windy afternoon our car overturned.
“Are you okay?” My brother asked from the driver’s seat in a weak voice. We were hanging upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. I felt some blood flowing to my hand, my heart pounding violently, extremely scared.
Looking towards him, I found Matthew badly injured, his arm bleeding and stuck in the seat. There was a hint of fear lingering in his eyes, something I had rarely seen in my big brother. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, fragile (脆弱的).

Passage 3
On Lily’s 15th birthday, she sat alone at the dim kitchen table, the once-beautiful chocolate cake now a melting mess. Dad had promised to return from his business trip by 6 PM, but as the clock struck midnight, there was still no sign of him. Her phone buzzed — another corporate apology message forwarded by Mom.
Tears welled up, blurring (使模糊) the ”Happy Birthday“ icing. Memories flooded back: Dad missing her piano recital last month, where she had played with all her heart for his proud smile; forgetting Parents’ Day, while other kids enjoyed their parents’ company; and their last proper conversation being a full three weeks ago.
She dashed upstairs, slamming her bedroom door. Collapsing onto the bed, her elbow (手肘) knocked over a dusty photo frame-a childhood picture of Dad piggybacking her at the beach, both grinning (咧嘴笑) wildly. Beneath it lay a leather journal she’d never seen. With curiosity, she opened it. The first entry was dated March 2023, during her hospital admission for pneumonia (肺炎).
Day 12: “Sold the car today. Lily’s medical bills cleared. Told her the old sedan ‘ needed retirement’-better she thinks me frugal (节俭的) than worried.”
Day 39: “Promoted to regional manager. Triple workload, but Lily’s college fund secured. Miss bedtime stories ...”
The pages trembled in her hands. Footsteps approached outside.

Passage 4
When I was a kid, my father was my hero. He was an Ultra man to me. Everything seemed a piece of cake for him and there was nothing that could challenge him. As the only child of my family, I was the apple of his eye. Most of his spare time was spent with me, playing sports and games, or even just chatting. Both of us enjoyed ourselves.
As time went by, however, everything changed. As a teenager, I became a troublemaker unknowingly, which was completely different from the expectation of my father. It was typical of me to break the school rules every now and then in high school. And presenting my school report to my parents was a nightmare for me. My mother kept criticizing me while my father talked with me seriously about my behavioral problems, hoping to stop the situation from worsening. But in vain.
In the last year of my senior high, my father became silent and distant, having no idea how to deal with me. That was even more painful to me. I hated being ignored and avoided meeting him. We lived under the same roof, but we were a thousand miles away from each other. I continued to have trouble with school until I chose to drop out and pursue my own interest. I became totally focused on my spiritual growth, which sent desperate disappointment through my father’s mind. There were many hard feelings between us, feelings that hardened as I grew up.
For much of my twenties, I went about my life without much of a relationship with my dad. We had stopped conversations, and there existed a wall, thick and cold, between us. I knew healing my relationship with Dad was important, but how to go about it was another story. My feelings of being ignored by Dad were my deepest wound.
Things became different when I had my own kids. I decided to do something to reconnect with my father. Finally, I sent him an email.

Passage 5
Wherever I go, I keep an old apron (围裙) in the top drawer of my desk. It’s faded and worn, with a torn pocket and frayed strings. People often ask why I still have it. I just smile. They wouldn’t understand — unless they knew the story behind it.
When I was young, my mother wore the apron almost every day in the kitchen. It smelled of flour and garlic, of soap and warmth. She would hum (哼唱) while cooking, and I would sit in the living room next to the kitchen doing my homework. The apron meant comfort and home.
But everything changed the year my father lost his job. At first, we thought it would be temporary. But soon, bills began to pile up. To feed the family, my mother found work as a cook at a local restaurant.
She would get up before sunrise to prepare meals for us, leave by noon, and often return close to midnight. Sometimes, I’d find her asleep at the kitchen table, still in her uniform, her apron stained (沾有污渍的) and creased. She stopped humming.
I didn’t realize how much it was affecting her — how much she was giving up for us — until the day of the school bake sale.
Each student was supposed to bring homemade treats. I had completely forgotten, and when I remembered late the night before, I panicked. I found my mother in the living room, exhausted, folding laundry.
“Mom,” I began, ashamed, “I need something for the bake sale tomorrow.”
She didn’t scold me or complain. She simply nodded and stood up. With slow, steady hands, she pulled out the familiar apron, tied it around her waist, and began pulling out ingredients from the refrigerator. As she mixed, measured, and baked, I saw how tired her eyes looked under the kitchen light. And yet, there was something else — something dedicated and full of love in the way she worked. It was too late. My mom asked me to go to bed and then I left.

Passage 1
The morning light streamed through the windows of the coffee shop as Sophia carefully balanced three coffee cups on a tray. There were still traces of the last day’s paint on her clothes, but no customer noticed, because they were too busy chatting or reading newspapers.
From the time Sophia could hold a brush, she fell in love with painting. Her bedroom walls were covered with drawings of blooming flowers, dancing clouds, and smiling faces.But life wasn’t easy for her. Sophia’s family struggled to pay the bills, and going to art school remained a distant dream. Still, she refused to let go of her passion.
Every morning, Sophia woke before dawn to work at the coffee shop. She wiped the tables, served coffee to the customers with a smile, and engaged in conversations with them. Meanwhile, she silently observed the changes in the light on their faces, or the wisps of steam rising from the teacups. These details later became elements in her paintings. At night, she returned to her tiny apartment, where a desk lamp became her sun. With leftover paper and discounted paints, she created worlds of color: fields of golden sunflowers, stormy seas with brave little boats, and children laughing under rainbows.
For years, Sophia’s paintings gathered dust under her bed. She sent them to galleries and contests, only to receive polite rejection letters. “Your work lacks depth,” one wrote. “They are too ordinary,” said another. Some days, tears blurred (使视线模糊) her vision as she painted, but she always whispered to herself: “One more try. Just one more.”
One cool autumn afternoon, fate arrived wearing a tailored suit. Mr Brown, a well-known art collector, was passing through the town when rain forced him to take shelter at the weekly farmers’ market. There, under the blue tent of a vendor (商贩), he spotted a painting of a girl running through a field of wildflowers. Her hair was flying like flames, and her hands stretched toward the sun. It was Sophia’s work, priced at just $10.

Passage 2
John and his mother lived in a house far from the city. John loved to wander through the forest nearby. In the center of the forest was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. On his wanderings, John would often see animals such as deer and rabbits as he listened to the birds singing in the trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he decided to become a great artist and present all of these breathtaking scenes to the world.
John studied at the local high school. Life had not been easy for John and his mother since his father had died. His mother knew how important a good education was in life, but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “How will you earn money as an artist?” she would ask. “It’s not a stable job.” But as John got older, his passion for art became stronger.
Due to their circumstances, buying new paint was a luxury that John could simply not afford. He used a worn drawing file and the limited colors he had to practice his craft. However, this lack of materials did not deter (使打消念头) him from his dream. He spent a significant amount of time in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinctive gift for art, he drew more and more beautifully with each passing day.
One day, John learned that there was going to be a drawing competition in town, and that the deadline for submitting entries (参赛作品) was only two days away. This was the perfect opportunity to fulfill his dream and show off his skills, but as he read the rules, he realized that he needed special paints and brushes for the competition. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew she did not approve.
That evening, his mother returned from work and handed him some money, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was more than enough for the materials he desired! John’s face lit up.

Passage 3
Emily crumpled (揉) the paper and stuffed it into a drawer, her hands trembling. It was the seventh time that she had failed to complete a satisfactory painting. Ever since failing to get into the art academy six months ago, she had been consumed by self-doubt, her once-lively brushstrokes had turned dull, and even her beloved painting bad become a source of pain.
One day at the hospital, a chance encounter changed everything. While she was waiting for her appointment, a burst of laughter caught her attention. Around the corner, several children gathered around a girl in a wheelchair. She was showing her colorful drawing of a “Dream Town” to other children, where a crooked (歪斜的) sun shed rainbow colors, and crooked houses were covered with blooming flowers. “This is my Dream Town!” the girl declared, her eyes shining with pride. “Even though I can’t walk, my paintbrush can take me anywhere!” she said proudly. Emily was shocked-those “imperfect” strokes she had always hated now seemed full of life.
The next day, Emily volunteered at the children’s ward (病房), art supplies in hand and anxiety in her heart. At first, the children regarded her with curiosity and shyness. But when she sketched a grinning cartoon cat, cries of amazement filled the room. A young boy held up his drawing of a dinosaur. “Miss, my dinosaur can fly!” he announced earnestly.
Days passed in a mass of paint and laughter. Emily stopped chasing “perfection” and instead focused on capturing the sparkles in the children’s eyes. Her brush regained its warmth. She led the children in creating collages (拼贴画) from recycled materials and finger-painting. Through these experiences, she realized that art’s true value lay not in awards, but in conveying emotions and hope.
Three months later, the hospital corridor became a gallery of the children’s works. Among them was a large massive piece. In the bottom right comer, Emily had written, “Every soul can shine its unique light.” Just then, her phone rang. It was an email from the art academy.

Passage 4
My class visited the art museum in our city by bus yesterday morning. Excitedly, I sat at the front of the bus next to Ms. Kattan, our art teacher. The teacher told us we were going to admire a painting called A Sunday on La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat, a great French painter in the 19th century. It showed a park in France. We had seen pictures of the painting at school. But soon we could see the real thing.
“Afterward, we’ll paint our own neighborhood,” I heard Ms. Kattan say. I stopped smiling. Our bus just rolled past garbage and old buildings where I lived. I sighed (叹气) and thought, “Nothing to paint here.” After a while, we passed tall buildings and planters filled with forever-greens. “We’re almost there,” I thought.
When we stopped, I jumped off and waved to the stone lions out front. I knew them because my mother worked nearby. But I’d never been inside the museum. It was quiet, like a library. We climbed the stone staircase, and finally, we reached the painting we came to see. It was huge! I spread my arms and tried to measure its size but I failed. “What do you notice?” Ms. Kattan asked the class. “Boats! ” “A monkey!” kids said. I shut one eye and turned my head from side to side. “It’s not clear,” I said. “Why?” “This picture is made with tiny dots (小圆点) of paint.” Ms. Kattan said, “This way of painting is called pointillism (点彩派) .”
I called it magic, putting all those dots tight together to show one big wonderful place. I couldn’t help imagining I was inside the painting: I rolled in the soft grass, pet a puppy, and dipped my feet into the water. I even turned a sunny umbrella, like one of those fancy ladies in that park. But when Ms. Kattan told us to be inspired for our own paintings at once, I dropped back into the real world. Hearing Ms. Kattan’s requirement, every kid started to paint except me.

Passage 5
Mary had always been passionate about photography. Ever since she was a little girl, she loved capturing (捕捉) moments, freezing time with her camera, and telling stories through images. Her talent was undeniable; she had a unique eye for detail and an ability to capture raw emotions in her photos. The way she played with natural light and found beauty in ordinary corners had become her distinctive style. Her work was admired by many, and she had even won a few top awards.
Yet, despite her success, there was one thing Mary couldn’t escape — her struggle with her body image. Mary had always been overweight, and her reflection in the mirror often made her feel disconnected from the confident, successful person others saw. And she couldn’t shake the feeling or discomfort when she saw herself in photos. She thought her body didn’t fit the typical standards of beauty. So, she hid behind her camera, comfortable in the role of the observer.
One evening, at the opening of her latest exhibition, Mary found herself encircled by admirers. The gallery walls were lined with her works, each one telling a story and highlighting her artistry. Viewers moved from piece to piece, expressing their appreciation as they absorbed the emotions she had captured.
Beside her award-winning photograph Daybreak Solitude, Mary responded to a visitor’s inquiry about her inspiration. As she spoke, she gestured with enthusiasm; her hands moved energetically to stress key details and her face lit up with passionate energy. At that moment, she forgot about her insecurities. She wasn’t thinking about how she looked; she was fully immersed (沉浸于) in her art and the stories her photographs told. Unbeknownst (不为……所知) to her, a young photography student named Emma stood quietly in the corner. Watching Mary speak with such passion, Emma saw something beautiful. Without hesitation, Emma lifted her instant camera and captured the moment.

Passage 1
Known for his diligence (勤奋 )and pursuit of perfection, Leo had earned a reputation as one of the most reliable students in high school. It wasn’t just achievement he chased — it was perfection, as though a small mistake might ruin the value of everything else.
When the school launched its annual Green Week, a poster contest was announced to raise awareness of environmental issues. Many students saw it as a chance for fun. For Leo, however, it felt like a test he had to pass. Having followed news about climate change and taken part in online campaigns, he cared deeply about the Earth. But caring wasn’t enough — for him, the poster had to be unique, powerful, and perfect.
That very desire became the biggest challenge. As the deadline approached, dozens of drafts piled up on his bedroom floor, which were discarded (被丢弃的), rejected, and unfinished. Each attempt seemed not “good enough”. Whether it was a slogan(口号)that felt too common or a drawing that didn’t match his vision, Leo erased, restarted, and abandoned every effort. It was not that he lacked ideas. What he lacked was the freedom to let them breathe. Meanwhile, his classmates’ posters were going up in the hallway — some neatly colored; others experimental. Creative as they were, Leo could only focus on how much better his work had to be.
Tomorrow was the competition day, but Leo was clueless. So upset was he that he decided to take a walk. As the wind shook the trees and dry leaves danced across the sidewalk, Leo reached the neighborhood park. What met his eyes was not nature’s beauty but its mess. Piles of trash lay under a bench: candy wrappers, plastic bottles, and torn paper. Without thinking, Leo bent down and began picking up what he could. It was at that moment, observed by a little girl playing nearby, that something changed. “You’re helping the Earth,” she said quietly. “If it could talk, it would probably thank you,” she added. It was that one sentence, simple though it was, that stayed with Leo. If the Earth could speak, what would it say?

Passage 2
I had always been the quietest member of our school’s drama club. My world was backstage, between the tall, heavy curtains and the busy equipment tables. Among the lights and props, I knew exactly where everything was and what to do. While others shone during rehearsals (排练), I found my place quietly supporting them from behind the scenes, feeling happy to be a helpful part of the team.
My drama teacher, Ms. Jenkins, noticed this. She had a way of seeing the efforts that others didn’t. One afternoon, after everyone else had left, she handed me a script (脚本) for the year-end show. “The lead role,” she said, her voice calm and certain. “I believe you have a story inside you, waiting to be told.” Her words were kind but felt like a heavy responsibility, making me stand up straighter without thinking.
My heart sank. The lead role meant speaking alone in front of everyone and standing in the bright spotlight, where I couldn’t hide. “But, Ms. Jenkins,” I stammered, holding the script tightly in both hands, “I’m not an actor. I work backstage. I might ruin the play.” The thought of forgetting my lines on stage filled me with a cold fear that made my hands feel stiff.
She smiled gently, and her eyes were warm and encouraging. “Sometimes, the biggest growth happens when we face our fears, not avoid them. Try to read it,” she said, looking right at me, “not just as lines, but as someone’s true feelings.” For days, the script lay unopened on my desk, a constant reminder of my anxiety, and I avoided looking at it. Hearing my confident classmates practice, their clear voices coming from the hall, only made me feel more like an outsider, as if I was standing outside a closed door, unsure if I could ever cross the gap between us.

Passage 3
The day before yesterday, my class played a basketball game. As their chemistry teacher and class advisor, I watched as our team, led by Tom, the captain, fought hard. Tom’s quick moves and precise passes inspired his teammates. They battled as one, making every play count. The game was intense, with both teams neck and neck. In the final seconds, Tom made a daring drive to the hoop (篮筐), but the opponent scored a last-minute shot. We lost by just one point.
The next morning, the classroom was filled with a heavy atmosphere. Tom sat quietly, his head down, still weighed down by the loss. The rest of the class mirrored his mood—silent and withdrawn. It was clear that the defeat had dampened their spirits. I knew I had to do something to lift their spirits and remind them to pay more attention to the process.
The first class of the day was chemistry. As I looked at the lesson plan quickly, an idea began to take shape. I quickly prepared the necessary laboratory equipment and walked into the classroom.
“Alright, everyone,” I said, trying to get their attention. “I’m going to conduct an experiment, and I want you to observe it carefully. You’ll need to describe what you see afterward.” The room grew a little quieter as curiosity began to catch on. They turned their attention to me, and I could see a sign of interest in their eyes.
I picked up a piece of magnesium ribbon (镁条) and held it with a holder. When I brought it close to the burner fire, the ribbon started to flash. The whole class watched the experiment in amazement, their eyes wide open, focusing on my operation in awe. The magnesium ribbon burned away, leaving behind a soft white powder.

Passage 4
The Fearful Music Exam
The frightening day of our required music exam arrived. Our parents praised our school’s modern music room with its grand piano and sound system. My mother said it was better than many concert halls. But to me, the piano looked like a sleeping dragon, causing my extreme nervousness and fright.
Being painfully shy, I always chose group activities like choir practice. When Mr. Reed taught solo singing every Friday — a compulsory part of our music course — I’d stand behind the tallest classmate, humming softly to avoid attention.
Now, it was the final Friday — exam day. My fingers turned icy when Mr. Reed announced: “Today, everyone must sing alone for your final grade. Those who fail will retake the exam after school next month.”
As classmates took turns at the front, my knees knocked together. Each sang steadily into the microphone, voices clear under the bright ceiling lights. Soon I’d have to do what terrified me most — singing solo before thirty classmates.
Suddenly I recalled a TV singer’s interview: Watch and learn. So I observed carefully — how they adjusted the microphone height, stood with feet apart, took a deep belly breath, and focused on the back wall while singing. After eight performances, hope flickered in me. Those four steps seemed manageable.
When Mr. Reed called my name, my shoes squeaked (嘎吱作响) on the wooden floor. Every face turned toward me. My neck burned hot. Holding the microphone tightly, I tried the steps: Adjust, Stand, Breathe and Focus. But my voice came out thin and shaky. Even worse, I completely forgot the lyrics at the chorus (副歌). A wave of whispers swept the room as I went back to my seat.

Passage 1
Mark’s hometown is a quiet little place in the countryside, with a beautiful river flowing gently through its center. When he was a kid, this river was always crystal-clear —its surface shone like countless small pieces of silver under the warm sun, and groups of colorful small fish swam freely in the shallow, cool waters. It was undoubtedly Mark’s favorite spot in the whole town; every weekend, he’d gather his closest friends, grab their old fishing poles, and sit on the smooth, round stones by the grassy bank, chatting loudly about their daily lives and patiently waiting for fish to bite.
Last year, Mark left for another city to go to high school. He missed his peaceful hometown a lot, especially the beloved river that held so many of his childhood memories. During the long summer holiday, he packed his bags in excitement and couldn’t wait to come back home.
But when Mark arrived at the river that sunny afternoon, he was completely shocked. The clear, lively river he remembered so well was gone. The water wasn’t transparent and clean anymore, and the once tidy bank was full of dirty trash. He stood there, frozen, staring at the terrible scene, and could hardly believe his own eyes. The happy, laughter-filled memories of fishing with friends suddenly felt so far away, as if they belonged to another world.
He slowly walked closer and saw more heartbreaking sights: plastic bottles, worn paper food wrappers, and knotted, dirty fishing lines were everywhere. Some empty bait tins (鱼饵罐) even floated lazily in the water. The river water looked dark and cloudy, losing all its former brightness, and when a light wind blew, it gave off an unpleasant smell that made Mark frown deeply.
Mark felt a strong wave of heavy sadness welling up in his heart. He kept thinking about how clean, clear and lively the river used to be in his childhood, and how it had given him so many joyful, unforgettable days with his friends.

The river looked much better, but Mark didn’t stop there.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
He knew he couldn’t just walk away and let it stay this way. Mark rolled up his sleeves determinedly. First, he picked up all the visible trash along the bank, filling several large garbage bags. He then used a long stick to fish out the floating items in the water. As he worked, some local kids noticed what he was doing and came over to help. Encouraged by their enthusiasm, Mark explained the importance of keeping the river clean. Together, they made a plan to clean the river regularly.
The river looked much better, but Mark didn’t stop there. He decided to raise awareness about environmental protection in the whole town. He organized a community meeting, showing pictures of the river’s past and present. People were shocked and realized their mistakes. With everyone’s support, Mark started a campaign to plant trees along the riverbank and set up signs to remind people not to litter. Slowly but surely, the river began to regain its former beauty, and Mark’s childhood paradise was coming back to life. Guardians of the environment! Your efforts make a big difference in keeping our village beautiful and clean.”

Passage 2
My exams were going on and they were quite difficult, which made me really anxious. Our principal promised that anyone who scored at least 90 percent would go on a school trip.
There was a mix of emotions in our classroom — some students were eager to go on the trip, while others were really stressed and terrified about the exams. We didn’t know where we would be going, and our teacher told us that it was a surprise.
I was nervous about my maths result because my percentage was always below my expectations. However, when the result was announced, I was overjoyed to find I had scored 94 percent in maths, besides getting about 90 percent in all the other subjects! I was more excited about my marks than the trip, because it was something I didn’t expect.
As promised, our principal announced the date of the trip for the high scorers of all the sections. On the decided day, school buses took us and our teachers to our surprise destination. It turned out that our destination was a beach. We were overjoyed, but soon our joy turned to concern as we saw the area. It was filled with rubbish of all kinds.
I remembered that in our English exam, we had a comprehension passage about recycling and it suddenly clicked — this was the reason we were there: to help clean up the beach to protect the marine animals from pollution.
Just then, our principal gathered all the students and said, “The surprise destination was meant to amaze us, as it was supposed to be a place for us to enjoy. However, due to the harmful human practices, this once beautiful place has become not only harmful to us, but also to marine life.”

【答案】
The gravity of her words sunk in as we all realised the importance of preserving such places for the future. We all started cleaning up the trash, using the gloves and garbage bags that had been provided for us. After a couple of hours, we cleaned ourselves up and had lunch together, making sure to take all the leftover plates and glasses with us. We were all exhausted, but the feeling that we had done something meaningful for a great cause made it all worthwhile.
I shared the experience with my parents, who decided to visit the beach again on Sunday. My father booked a bus for the trip. When we arrived, my sister posted a picture on Instagram and Facebook of us all cleaning the beach. Soon, more people showed up, each carrying a bag to collect plastic and metal for proper disposal and recycling. After some hard work, the entire beach was cleaned. Small actions, like picking up trash and recycling, can help ensure our oceans remain healthy and safe for marine life. Every little action we take makes a big difference.

Passage 3
I am Tia. The corner of 71st Street and Prospect was my corner. To me, it was like a wide-open treasure box. When my sisters and brothers were chasing each other, and I felt like the walls of our apartment were about to burst, I ran down to my corner. My sneakers pounded the pavement, then they took me on a flying leap into a sea of green. I waded through the tall grass, my jeans swished with every step. Butterflies and crickets (蟋蟀) scared up at my feet. I sat down, closed my eyes and listened to their songs. The grass smelt clean and fresh. The sun warmed my skin, and I wondered why I was the only one who’s thankful for this place.
Some folks didn’t respect it. They passed by all day long and never took the time to peek inside. They even threw trash from their car windows. There was junk here- old chairs, a broken bicycle wheel. I worried that soon there would be more garbage than birds.
One day, the city announced a plan to pave it over for a parking lot. Heartbroken, I ran to my room and slammed the door. “It just needs some cleaning up, that’s all. How come they can’t see that?” Out my window I could see my corner. Mama knocked softly at the door and stepped in. “Tia, you see something in that corner that most folks don’t. You got to make them see what you see. Make some noise about it.”
Early the next morning, I dragged a chair down to the corner. On a card-board I painted NO PARKING LOT! SAVE OUR NATURE! in large letters. I sat down and waited. Most people in the community didn’t pay any attention to me. My effort seemed in vain, attracting more ridicule (嘲笑) than support. I swallowed hard and felt my sign drop to the ground.

【答案】
The sign caught the eye of a local journalist, Sara, who smiled and walked over to me. “That’s a brave stand you’re taking. Mind telling me what this place means to you?” she asked kindly. Her warm tone encouraged me to pour out my heart. I told her about the butterflies, the crickets’ songs, the clean smell of grass, and my fear of losing this secret garden to cold concrete. Sara listened intently, taking notes and occasionally snapping photos of the corner and my determined, though slightly tearful, face. She said,“I think your story could inspire others. Great job speaking up for what you love.”
The news reported by Sara spread throughout the community. The next day, my story and a picture of me holding the sign appeared in the local newspaper. To my surprise, many neighbors read it and started seeing the corner with new eyes. They noticed the wildflowers they had never stopped to admire and the birdsong that was often drowned out by traffic. Over the following weekend, a small group of volunteers showed up with gloves and trash bags. Together, we cleaned up the old chairs and the broken bicycle wheel. Standing there, watching people work together, I realized that Mama was right.

Passage 4
In the small coastal town of Seabrook, there lived a young boy named Timmy who had a determined love for the ocean. Every day after school, he would rush to the shore, spending hours exploring wave pools, and collecting seashells. He is very studious and seizes every possible opportunity to learn about the ocean. He often goes to the town library to absorb knowledge about the ocean from books as well. The more he learned, the more he became obsessed with the ocean. He is always dreaming of becoming a marine (海洋的) biologist.
However, one unusual afternoon, a powerful and unexpected storm swept through the town, leaving destruction in its wake. The once-dynamic coral reefs (珊瑚礁) off the coast were now covered in debris (残骸), and the local marine life was struggling to survive.
Timmy was heartbroken. He felt a deep sense of responsibility to help restore the reefs and protect the ocean’ s inhabitants. With the support of his family and a few like-minded friends, he organized a beach cleanup and started a fundraising campaign to raise awareness about ocean conservation. But despite their best efforts, progress was slow, and Timmy began to lose hope.
One sunny morning, as Timmy sat on the beach, staring out at the damaged reefs, he noticed a group of divers approaching the shore. Among them was a famous marine biologist who had heard about Timmy’ s story and was eager to help.
The marine biologist, Dr. Elena, approached Timmy with a warm smile. “I’ ve heard so much about your contribution to ocean conservation,” she said. “I’m here to offer my help and expertise in restoring the coral reefs. This is my contact information. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.” Timmy’ s eyes lit up with hope as he listened to Dr. Elena’ s plan. She explained how they could work together to remove the debris, plant new coral, and monitor the reef’ s recovery. Heartbroken no more, Timmy felt a renewed sense of purpose and determination.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
With Dr. Elena’ s guidance, Timmy and his friends launched a massive reef restoration project. They worked tirelessly every day, removing debris from the ocean floor and planting new coral. Dr. Elena taught them advanced techniques to ensure the corals would survive. Timmy and his friends also organized educational workshops for the local community, spreading awareness about the importance of ocean conservation. Their efforts attracted more volunteers, and soon the project gained progress. The local government took notice and provided additional resources to support their work. Timmy felt a growing sense of accomplishment as he saw the community come together for a common cause.
Slowly but surely, the reefs began to show signs of life. New coral started to grow, and marine life gradually returned to the area. Timmy and his friends continued to monitor the progress, collecting data and sharing their findings with Dr. Elena. The once damaged reefs were now on the path to recovery. Timmy’ s dream of becoming a marine biologist seemed closer than ever. He realized that with devotion and the support of others, even the most challenging difficulties could be overcome. The experience not only restored the reefs but also strengthened Timmy’ s resolve to protect the ocean for future generations.

Passage 5
Located in the heart of our community, there was a pond that had long been a source of joy and peace. In the past, its clear waters sparkled (闪耀) like diamonds under the sun, and the gentle rustling (沙沙声) of the leaves along the banks created a pleasant tune. Colorful fish and frogs made it their home, and kids in the neighborhood would spend hours by the water, observing the wonders of nature.
However, over time, the pond became a victim of neglect and littering. Empty plastic bottles, fast-food wrappers (包装袋), and even old bicycles were carelessly thrown into the water. The once-clear waters turned dark, and a strange smell began to hang over the area, driving away the wildlife.
One sunny afternoon, I took a walk around the pond and was shocked by its sorry state. Determined to do something about it, I took out my phone and started taking pictures from every angle. Each image recorded the extent of the pollution, serving as a reminder of the urgent need for action.
After getting home, I sat down and crafted a detailed plan. I estimated that we would need at least twenty volunteers to cover all areas of the pond. I made a list of necessary tools, such as long-handled scoops, waterproof boots, and garbage bins. Then, I spent hours designing posters with pictures of the polluted pond and the words “Let’s Bring Back Our Shining Pond.”
I first shared my plan with my closest friends. We met at a nearby playground, and as I showed them the pictures, they were horrified. “I can’t believe it’s become like this,” shouted Jack. “We used to have so much fun here,” added Emily, her voice filled with sadness. I then presented my plan, and without hesitation, they all agreed to help.

【答案】
The next step was to spread the word to more kids in the community. Armed with posters, we visited schools, community centers, and playgrounds. We passionately shared our plan and showed pictures of the pond’s once-beautiful state. The kids, initially hesitant, perked up when we described how cleaning might be fun and how it would restore the pond’s future. We also created a social media group, posting updates and appealing for more help. Slowly but surely, more and more kids joined our cause. Before long, we had well over twenty enthusiastic volunteers, far exceeding my initial estimate.
Finally, the big cleaning day arrived. Equipped with long-handled scoops, waterproof boots, and garbage bins, we gathered around the pond. Everyone was full of energy, ready to take on the challenge. We carefully scooped up trash from the water surface, while others collected litter on the banks. As we worked, a sense of unity and purpose filled the air. After hours of hard work, the pond was transformed. The water started to regain its clarity, and the foul smell dissipated. Looking at our work, we felt a great sense of achievement, knowing that we had made a real difference to our community.

话题2 家人和亲人
Passage 1
My Dad, Matt, lost his job and when Christmas came, we had no money at all. On Christmas Eve, Dad took me into our yard. I was five that year and I sat next to Dad and we looked up at the sky, “Pick out your favorite star,” Dad said. He told me I could have one star for keeps. He said it was my Christmas present.
“You can’t give me a star! No one owns the stars.” “That’s right, Betty. No one else owns them. You just have to claim it before anyone else does.”
I looked up to the stars and tried to figure out which was the best one. I could see hundreds, maybe thousands or even millions, hanging in the clear sky. There was one in particular, in the west above the mountains but low in the sky, which shone more brightly than all the rest. I pointed and claimed it. Dad smiled, telling me I chose Venus. It looked bigger and brighter because it was much closer than other stars. It reflected the light of the sun. “I like it anyway,” I said. “Alright,” Dad agreed. “It’s Christmas. You can have a planet if you want.”
From then on, Venus got a new name in our family, Betty’s Planet. After Christmas, Dad found another job in the mine and he worked like mad. Gradually, we could make ends meet and there were presents under the Christmas tree and cakes when it was my birthday. But deep down, no present could match Betty’s Planet.
Years later, I entered university, majoring in engineering, but I stuck to my passion for astronomy in my spare time. In my junior year, I became the first undergraduate ever to discover an asteroid (小行星) when examining images of thousands of asteroids on my computer, due to which I was given the right to name this asteroid according to the tradition of International Astronomical Union.

【答案】
This time, I decided to give Dad a present. I named the asteroid “Matt’s Star” to honor him. When I told Dad about it on the phone, he fell silent for a while. Then he said, “Betty, that’s the best gift I’ve ever received.” I explained that the asteroid was small but special, just like the star he gave me years ago. I also told him that whenever he looked up at the sky, he could think of it as a symbol of our love, which would never fade.
Dad said he owed me an apology for that Christmas. “I was so poor then that I couldn’t give you a real present,” he said with a sigh. I told him that Betty’s Planet was the most precious gift because it taught me to find joy in simple things. I added that if there had not been that Christmas, I might not have developed a love for astronomy, which led me to discover the asteroid. Dad laughed and said he was proud of me, and from that day on, we often talked about “our stars” on the phone.

Passage 2
My brother Matthew had always expected to have a little brother. When I was born, he was disappointed to have a sister. To him, I was an annoyance, small, weak, and cowardly (胆小的) and he often found comfort in teasing me. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would have real friendship like other brother and sister, caring and helping each other.
It was not until he went to university that he unexpectedly invited me to visit him on his campus for the first time. In his room, he handed me a drink, telling me his struggle for making new friends and how tough it was for him to study Maths. From that day on, we talked more and our bond seemed to get changed.
One Thanksgiving, I was criticised by dad and didn’t want to attend the family dinner. Matthew stayed with me and we had dinner together — just the two of us. My big brother, once a man I felt distant from, became the person who accompanied me when I was in low spirits.
In the first summer vacation of my university, Matthew suggested taking me to make an go off-road driving on 85,000 acres of desert in California. We learned some first aid methods and survival tips, knowing how to deal with minor injuries and send out a signal for help in a remote desert. After we got everything prepared, our adventure journey started and we enjoyed ourselves on the way. Unfortunately, on a windy afternoon our car overturned.
“Are you okay?” My brother asked from the driver’s seat in a weak voice. We were hanging upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. I felt some blood flowing to my hand, my heart pounding violently, extremely scared.
Looking towards him, I found Matthew badly injured, his arm bleeding and stuck in the seat. There was a hint of fear lingering in his eyes, something I had rarely seen in my big brother. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, fragile (脆弱的).

【答案】
It was my turn to give him help. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my own racing heart. Then, I said to him, “Look at me, Matthew. We’re siblings, and I will always be with you.” Slowly but surely, we managed to free ourselves from the seat belts and crawled out of the car. I clumsily applied a clean cloth to his arm to stop bleeding and tried to bandage his wound carefully. After searching the trunk, I found a colourful rope and used it to make a large SOS sign in the sand, hoping to be found.
Hours later, the rescue team found us. They praised us for our self rescue awareness, saying they were on duty when they found our sign. I knew it was my care for my brother that gave me courage to stay cool. Staring at the bandage on his arm, Matthew showed a comforting smile, weak but proud. With the help of the rescue team, we safely returned home. I finally understood that true sibling love came from company, care and help.

Passage 3
On Lily’s 15th birthday, she sat alone at the dim kitchen table, the once-beautiful chocolate cake now a melting mess. Dad had promised to return from his business trip by 6 PM, but as the clock struck midnight, there was still no sign of him. Her phone buzzed — another corporate apology message forwarded by Mom.
Tears welled up, blurring (使模糊) the ”Happy Birthday“ icing. Memories flooded back: Dad missing her piano recital last month, where she had played with all her heart for his proud smile; forgetting Parents’ Day, while other kids enjoyed their parents’ company; and their last proper conversation being a full three weeks ago.
She dashed upstairs, slamming her bedroom door. Collapsing onto the bed, her elbow (手肘) knocked over a dusty photo frame-a childhood picture of Dad piggybacking her at the beach, both grinning (咧嘴笑) wildly. Beneath it lay a leather journal she’d never seen. With curiosity, she opened it. The first entry was dated March 2023, during her hospital admission for pneumonia (肺炎).
Day 12: “Sold the car today. Lily’s medical bills cleared. Told her the old sedan ‘ needed retirement’-better she thinks me frugal (节俭的) than worried.”
Day 39: “Promoted to regional manager. Triple workload, but Lily’s college fund secured. Miss bedtime stories ...”
The pages trembled in her hands. Footsteps approached outside.

【答案】
The door creaked open slowly. There stood Dad, his face weary and lined with exhaustion. But his eyes lit up with love when he saw Lily. “Happy birthday, my dear,” he said softly. Lily’s eyes scanned his tired figure, thinking of the journal entries — his sacrifices, his silent love. All the anger and disappointment melted away. She now saw beyond his absences to the love that drove his actions. “Dad,” she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.
Holding the journal tightly, Lily couldn’t hold back her tears. She rushed to Dad and hugged him tightly. “Dad, I love you. Thank you for everything,” she sobbed. Initially surprised, Dad soon understood as he saw the journal. He stroked her hair gently, “I’m sorry I’ve been away so much.” In that embrace, they bridged the gap of unspoken words. From that moment, Lily knew their bond was deeper than she’d ever thought, rooted in a father’s silent devotion and a daughter’s new-found understanding.

Passage 4
When I was a kid, my father was my hero. He was an Ultra man to me. Everything seemed a piece of cake for him and there was nothing that could challenge him. As the only child of my family, I was the apple of his eye. Most of his spare time was spent with me, playing sports and games, or even just chatting. Both of us enjoyed ourselves.
As time went by, however, everything changed. As a teenager, I became a troublemaker unknowingly, which was completely different from the expectation of my father. It was typical of me to break the school rules every now and then in high school. And presenting my school report to my parents was a nightmare for me. My mother kept criticizing me while my father talked with me seriously about my behavioral problems, hoping to stop the situation from worsening. But in vain.
In the last year of my senior high, my father became silent and distant, having no idea how to deal with me. That was even more painful to me. I hated being ignored and avoided meeting him. We lived under the same roof, but we were a thousand miles away from each other. I continued to have trouble with school until I chose to drop out and pursue my own interest. I became totally focused on my spiritual growth, which sent desperate disappointment through my father’s mind. There were many hard feelings between us, feelings that hardened as I grew up.
For much of my twenties, I went about my life without much of a relationship with my dad. We had stopped conversations, and there existed a wall, thick and cold, between us. I knew healing my relationship with Dad was important, but how to go about it was another story. My feelings of being ignored by Dad were my deepest wound.
Things became different when I had my own kids. I decided to do something to reconnect with my father. Finally, I sent him an email.

【答案】
After sending the email, I felt a heavy weight on my mind. Would he respond? I waited for his reply, nervously opening up the mail each day. There was no reply. To my surprise, I received a hand-written letter from my father. I read the letter again and again, disbelief washing over me — it wasn’t the distant, silent dad I thought but someone wise and approachable. The sweet childhood memories flooded in my mind. I had lost my Ultra man. His words aroused my desire to meet him, to seek for the love that we had lost for so long.
I visited my father soon after receiving his letter. On seeing my grey-haired father, I threw my arms around him tightly. The disappointment of the past seemed to melt away, replaced by a shared history of laughter, tears, and the unspoken desire for connection. Though our paths had been apart, they were now coming back together. It was a conversation filled with a quiet understanding. It was a conversation filled with shared openness. It was a conversation filled with unexpected warmth. Together, we stepped forward on a journey towards healing and forgiveness between a father and a son.

Passage 5
Wherever I go, I keep an old apron (围裙) in the top drawer of my desk. It’s faded and worn, with a torn pocket and frayed strings. People often ask why I still have it. I just smile. They wouldn’t understand — unless they knew the story behind it.
When I was young, my mother wore the apron almost every day in the kitchen. It smelled of flour and garlic, of soap and warmth. She would hum (哼唱) while cooking, and I would sit in the living room next to the kitchen doing my homework. The apron meant comfort and home.
But everything changed the year my father lost his job. At first, we thought it would be temporary. But soon, bills began to pile up. To feed the family, my mother found work as a cook at a local restaurant.
She would get up before sunrise to prepare meals for us, leave by noon, and often return close to midnight. Sometimes, I’d find her asleep at the kitchen table, still in her uniform, her apron stained (沾有污渍的) and creased. She stopped humming.
I didn’t realize how much it was affecting her — how much she was giving up for us — until the day of the school bake sale.
Each student was supposed to bring homemade treats. I had completely forgotten, and when I remembered late the night before, I panicked. I found my mother in the living room, exhausted, folding laundry.
“Mom,” I began, ashamed, “I need something for the bake sale tomorrow.”
She didn’t scold me or complain. She simply nodded and stood up. With slow, steady hands, she pulled out the familiar apron, tied it around her waist, and began pulling out ingredients from the refrigerator. As she mixed, measured, and baked, I saw how tired her eyes looked under the kitchen light. And yet, there was something else — something dedicated and full of love in the way she worked. It was too late. My mom asked me to go to bed and then I left.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
By morning, the cookies were ready, and her apron lay folded on the chair. I stood there for a long time, gazing at the flour-dusted apron that still seemed to hold her warmth. Mom must have stayed up late, just to make those cookies. And without rest, she would work through another exhausting day. At school, as my classmates ate the cookies happily and showered me with praise, shame rose like a wave inside me. I couldn’t shake the image of her tying that apron, not to cook for joy, but for me. And at that moment, I decided to do something to ease her burden.
That evening, I walked into the kitchen, picked up the folded apron, and for the first time, tied it around my own waist. The cloth was stiff, the strings slightly twisted, but I wore it with care. I washed dishes, cleaned the stove, and swept the floor. Only then did I feel the weight she had quietly borne for so long. The apron smelled faintly of flour and soap — a familiar comfort. As I folded it again, I held it to my chest, not just as a piece of cloth, but as love from my mother. From that day on, I kept it in my drawer, not for use, but as a reminder of Mom’s love stitched into daily life.

话题3 美术与摄影
Passage 1
The morning light streamed through the windows of the coffee shop as Sophia carefully balanced three coffee cups on a tray. There were still traces of the last day’s paint on her clothes, but no customer noticed, because they were too busy chatting or reading newspapers.
From the time Sophia could hold a brush, she fell in love with painting. Her bedroom walls were covered with drawings of blooming flowers, dancing clouds, and smiling faces.But life wasn’t easy for her. Sophia’s family struggled to pay the bills, and going to art school remained a distant dream. Still, she refused to let go of her passion.
Every morning, Sophia woke before dawn to work at the coffee shop. She wiped the tables, served coffee to the customers with a smile, and engaged in conversations with them. Meanwhile, she silently observed the changes in the light on their faces, or the wisps of steam rising from the teacups. These details later became elements in her paintings. At night, she returned to her tiny apartment, where a desk lamp became her sun. With leftover paper and discounted paints, she created worlds of color: fields of golden sunflowers, stormy seas with brave little boats, and children laughing under rainbows.
For years, Sophia’s paintings gathered dust under her bed. She sent them to galleries and contests, only to receive polite rejection letters. “Your work lacks depth,” one wrote. “They are too ordinary,” said another. Some days, tears blurred (使视线模糊) her vision as she painted, but she always whispered to herself: “One more try. Just one more.”
One cool autumn afternoon, fate arrived wearing a tailored suit. Mr Brown, a well-known art collector, was passing through the town when rain forced him to take shelter at the weekly farmers’ market. There, under the blue tent of a vendor (商贩), he spotted a painting of a girl running through a field of wildflowers. Her hair was flying like flames, and her hands stretched toward the sun. It was Sophia’s work, priced at just $10.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Mr Brown was attracted by the painting. “Who painted this?”Mr Brown asked the vendor. After knowing Sophia’s address , he set off for her apartment. By sunset, he stood at Sophia’s doorstep , holding the painting. “This,” he said, pointing to the girl’s hopeful smile, “is art that speaks to the soul.” Mr Brown asked Sophia if she had any other pieces. Sophia brought out all her works. After seeing them, he praised Sophia highly. He proposed to take all her paintings and told her that he wanted to use them to hold an exhibition. Sophia agreed without hesitation.
Mr Brown took Sophia’s paintings and arranged a gallery exhibition in the city. Crowds gathered around her paintings, and their eyes widened with wonder. Some newspapers called her “the painter of hope”. The exhibition changed Sophia’s life. She began teaching free art classes in a studio for children who, like her former self, believed dreams were too heavy to carry. Sophia’s story reminds us that courage isn’t about waiting for storms to pass, but it’s about learning to paint in the rain. We should believe every brushstroke of persistence and every color of hope can turn ordinary struggles into extraordinary masterpieces.

Passage 2
John and his mother lived in a house far from the city. John loved to wander through the forest nearby. In the center of the forest was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. On his wanderings, John would often see animals such as deer and rabbits as he listened to the birds singing in the trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he decided to become a great artist and present all of these breathtaking scenes to the world.
John studied at the local high school. Life had not been easy for John and his mother since his father had died. His mother knew how important a good education was in life, but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “How will you earn money as an artist?” she would ask. “It’s not a stable job.” But as John got older, his passion for art became stronger.
Due to their circumstances, buying new paint was a luxury that John could simply not afford. He used a worn drawing file and the limited colors he had to practice his craft. However, this lack of materials did not deter (使打消念头) him from his dream. He spent a significant amount of time in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinctive gift for art, he drew more and more beautifully with each passing day.
One day, John learned that there was going to be a drawing competition in town, and that the deadline for submitting entries (参赛作品) was only two days away. This was the perfect opportunity to fulfill his dream and show off his skills, but as he read the rules, he realized that he needed special paints and brushes for the competition. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew she did not approve.
That evening, his mother returned from work and handed him some money, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was more than enough for the materials he desired! John’s face lit up.

【答案】
1: Early the next morning, John left home with the money. He rushed to a shop and bought the special paints and brushes needed for the competition. Excitement and determination filled his heart as he hurried back to his favorite spot in the forest. With each stroke of his brush, he poured his love for nature onto the canvas, hoping to create a masterpiece that would capture the beauty of the forest. Time slipped by at the tip of his brush. He eventually finished his painting in the afternoon. With a sense of pride and accomplishment, John carefully packed up his supplies and went into town to submit his entry.
A week later, John received a phone call at home. The caller informed John that he had won the first prize worth $500 in the drawing competition. Tears of joy streamed down John’s face as he shared the news with his mother. At first, she was shocked, but then she smiled at him. “I should have believed in you more,” she thought. From then on, she encouraged John to pursue his passion for art. With his mother’s full support, John devoted himself entirely to his chosen field and became a very successful artist.

Passage 3
Emily crumpled (揉) the paper and stuffed it into a drawer, her hands trembling. It was the seventh time that she had failed to complete a satisfactory painting. Ever since failing to get into the art academy six months ago, she had been consumed by self-doubt, her once-lively brushstrokes had turned dull, and even her beloved painting bad become a source of pain.
One day at the hospital, a chance encounter changed everything. While she was waiting for her appointment, a burst of laughter caught her attention. Around the corner, several children gathered around a girl in a wheelchair. She was showing her colorful drawing of a “Dream Town” to other children, where a crooked (歪斜的) sun shed rainbow colors, and crooked houses were covered with blooming flowers. “This is my Dream Town!” the girl declared, her eyes shining with pride. “Even though I can’t walk, my paintbrush can take me anywhere!” she said proudly. Emily was shocked-those “imperfect” strokes she had always hated now seemed full of life.
The next day, Emily volunteered at the children’s ward (病房), art supplies in hand and anxiety in her heart. At first, the children regarded her with curiosity and shyness. But when she sketched a grinning cartoon cat, cries of amazement filled the room. A young boy held up his drawing of a dinosaur. “Miss, my dinosaur can fly!” he announced earnestly.
Days passed in a mass of paint and laughter. Emily stopped chasing “perfection” and instead focused on capturing the sparkles in the children’s eyes. Her brush regained its warmth. She led the children in creating collages (拼贴画) from recycled materials and finger-painting. Through these experiences, she realized that art’s true value lay not in awards, but in conveying emotions and hope.
Three months later, the hospital corridor became a gallery of the children’s works. Among them was a large massive piece. In the bottom right comer, Emily had written, “Every soul can shine its unique light.” Just then, her phone rang. It was an email from the art academy.

We are pleased to offer you a place in our art academy.” She reread the message, her fingers trembling. The academy had reviewed her recent portfolio, particularly impressed by the collaborative artwork displayed at the hospital. Glancing at the vibrant gallery around her, she realized her journey wasn’t about technical perfection but about expressing truth and hope.
When Emily shared the news with the kids, tears filled her eyes. The children erupted in cheers, their faces lit with pride.The little boy who drew the flying dinosaur jumped up and down, shouting, “I told you my dinosaur was magic! He flew your painting to the academy!” The girl in the wheelchair beamed, squeezing Emily’s hand. “See? Your brush took you somewhere amazing too!” At that moment, Emily understood: her greatest masterpiece wasn’t on canvas — it was the spark she’d ignited in their hearts.

Passage 4
My class visited the art museum in our city by bus yesterday morning. Excitedly, I sat at the front of the bus next to Ms. Kattan, our art teacher. The teacher told us we were going to admire a painting called A Sunday on La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat, a great French painter in the 19th century. It showed a park in France. We had seen pictures of the painting at school. But soon we could see the real thing.
“Afterward, we’ll paint our own neighborhood,” I heard Ms. Kattan say. I stopped smiling. Our bus just rolled past garbage and old buildings where I lived. I sighed (叹气) and thought, “Nothing to paint here.” After a while, we passed tall buildings and planters filled with forever-greens. “We’re almost there,” I thought.
When we stopped, I jumped off and waved to the stone lions out front. I knew them because my mother worked nearby. But I’d never been inside the museum. It was quiet, like a library. We climbed the stone staircase, and finally, we reached the painting we came to see. It was huge! I spread my arms and tried to measure its size but I failed. “What do you notice?” Ms. Kattan asked the class. “Boats! ” “A monkey!” kids said. I shut one eye and turned my head from side to side. “It’s not clear,” I said. “Why?” “This picture is made with tiny dots (小圆点) of paint.” Ms. Kattan said, “This way of painting is called pointillism (点彩派) .”
I called it magic, putting all those dots tight together to show one big wonderful place. I couldn’t help imagining I was inside the painting: I rolled in the soft grass, pet a puppy, and dipped my feet into the water. I even turned a sunny umbrella, like one of those fancy ladies in that park. But when Ms. Kattan told us to be inspired for our own paintings at once, I dropped back into the real world. Hearing Ms. Kattan’s requirement, every kid started to paint except me.

【答案】
Ms. Kattan saw my hesitation and came over. She stood beside my empty paper and asked softly, “What’s wrong?” I felt embarrassed, saying my neighbourhood was too plain to draw. She smiled and told me beauty exists everywhere. “You just need to find it with your own view.” Her words made me think. I thought about my neighborhood: the faded pink heart on the wall, the old lady’s red flowers in an old pot. My mind began to picture the outline of my street.
I took a breath and picked up my brush. I dipped it in gray paint and made small dots for the old buildings in my neighborhood. I added pink dots for the faded heart on the wall and red dots for the flowers. When I finished, the dots formed my street just like the one I’d imagined. Ms. Kattan clapped gently, “You turned plain into magic.” A classmate cheered, “I see your home’s story!” I smiled, seeing how my mind’s outline had filled with the tiny, lovely things I’d never noticed before.

Passage 5
Mary had always been passionate about photography. Ever since she was a little girl, she loved capturing (捕捉) moments, freezing time with her camera, and telling stories through images. Her talent was undeniable; she had a unique eye for detail and an ability to capture raw emotions in her photos. The way she played with natural light and found beauty in ordinary corners had become her distinctive style. Her work was admired by many, and she had even won a few top awards.
Yet, despite her success, there was one thing Mary couldn’t escape — her struggle with her body image. Mary had always been overweight, and her reflection in the mirror often made her feel disconnected from the confident, successful person others saw. And she couldn’t shake the feeling or discomfort when she saw herself in photos. She thought her body didn’t fit the typical standards of beauty. So, she hid behind her camera, comfortable in the role of the observer.
One evening, at the opening of her latest exhibition, Mary found herself encircled by admirers. The gallery walls were lined with her works, each one telling a story and highlighting her artistry. Viewers moved from piece to piece, expressing their appreciation as they absorbed the emotions she had captured.
Beside her award-winning photograph Daybreak Solitude, Mary responded to a visitor’s inquiry about her inspiration. As she spoke, she gestured with enthusiasm; her hands moved energetically to stress key details and her face lit up with passionate energy. At that moment, she forgot about her insecurities. She wasn’t thinking about how she looked; she was fully immersed (沉浸于) in her art and the stories her photographs told. Unbeknownst (不为……所知) to her, a young photography student named Emma stood quietly in the corner. Watching Mary speak with such passion, Emma saw something beautiful. Without hesitation, Emma lifted her instant camera and captured the moment.

【答案】
After the exhibition, Emma approached Mary and handed her the photo she had taken. Mary stared at the photo and froze. It captured her in the midst of her passionate explanation, her eyes shining with joy, her hands gesturing and her whole being radiating with love for her work. For the first time, she didn’t feel embarrassed about her weight or her face shape. Instead, she saw a woman completely in her element, sharing her art with the world. And she recognized beauty which was not defined by conventional standards but by the very qualities she always captured in others.Paragraph 2:
That photograph became a turning point for Mary. Mary realized she had been applying different standards to herself than to her subjects. When she photographed others, she always focused on capturing their spirit and their genuine moments. Yet, she had denied herself the same kindness. Determined to change that, she began taking self-portraits as acts of celebration rather than criticism. Through this process, Mary discovered that true beauty goes beyond the physical appearance; it’s about embracing who you are, finding your own value and letting your passion shine through.

话题4 学校活动
Passage 1
Known for his diligence (勤奋 )and pursuit of perfection, Leo had earned a reputation as one of the most reliable students in high school. It wasn’t just achievement he chased — it was perfection, as though a small mistake might ruin the value of everything else.
When the school launched its annual Green Week, a poster contest was announced to raise awareness of environmental issues. Many students saw it as a chance for fun. For Leo, however, it felt like a test he had to pass. Having followed news about climate change and taken part in online campaigns, he cared deeply about the Earth. But caring wasn’t enough — for him, the poster had to be unique, powerful, and perfect.
That very desire became the biggest challenge. As the deadline approached, dozens of drafts piled up on his bedroom floor, which were discarded (被丢弃的), rejected, and unfinished. Each attempt seemed not “good enough”. Whether it was a slogan(口号)that felt too common or a drawing that didn’t match his vision, Leo erased, restarted, and abandoned every effort. It was not that he lacked ideas. What he lacked was the freedom to let them breathe. Meanwhile, his classmates’ posters were going up in the hallway — some neatly colored; others experimental. Creative as they were, Leo could only focus on how much better his work had to be.
Tomorrow was the competition day, but Leo was clueless. So upset was he that he decided to take a walk. As the wind shook the trees and dry leaves danced across the sidewalk, Leo reached the neighborhood park. What met his eyes was not nature’s beauty but its mess. Piles of trash lay under a bench: candy wrappers, plastic bottles, and torn paper. Without thinking, Leo bent down and began picking up what he could. It was at that moment, observed by a little girl playing nearby, that something changed. “You’re helping the Earth,” she said quietly. “If it could talk, it would probably thank you,” she added. It was that one sentence, simple though it was, that stayed with Leo. If the Earth could speak, what would it say?

With that thought, Leo hurried home and picked up his pencil.

On the day of the competition, Leo submitted his poster with repeated revisions.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
With that thought, Leo hurried home and picked up his pencil. All through the night, he worked — sketching, erasing, and redrawing, completely absorbed in the moment. The paper became messy, covered with uneven lines. However, so eager was Leo to express his concern for the planet that he no longer cared about the poster’s appearance. He sketched a tired Earth sitting alone in a park, holding a cardboard sign that read “I’m doing my best. Are you?” Around it, he drew scenes from his own life like garbage on sidewalks and factories in the distance. Though the drawings lacked technical perfection, they were real. And that, Leo thought, might just be enough.
On the day of the competition, Leo submitted his poster with repeated revisions. So powerful was its message that students who usually walked past without interest stopped to look. Many were moved, not by how the poster looked, but by what it said. The judges recognized its emotional weight too, awarding it the “Best Impact Award”. Hung at the school entrance, the poster sparked genuine conversations. It was the message that stayed in their minds. From that day on, Leo understood something he had never believed before: Truth can be more powerful than perfection.

Passage 2
I had always been the quietest member of our school’s drama club. My world was backstage, between the tall, heavy curtains and the busy equipment tables. Among the lights and props, I knew exactly where everything was and what to do. While others shone during rehearsals (排练), I found my place quietly supporting them from behind the scenes, feeling happy to be a helpful part of the team.
My drama teacher, Ms. Jenkins, noticed this. She had a way of seeing the efforts that others didn’t. One afternoon, after everyone else had left, she handed me a script (脚本) for the year-end show. “The lead role,” she said, her voice calm and certain. “I believe you have a story inside you, waiting to be told.” Her words were kind but felt like a heavy responsibility, making me stand up straighter without thinking.
My heart sank. The lead role meant speaking alone in front of everyone and standing in the bright spotlight, where I couldn’t hide. “But, Ms. Jenkins,” I stammered, holding the script tightly in both hands, “I’m not an actor. I work backstage. I might ruin the play.” The thought of forgetting my lines on stage filled me with a cold fear that made my hands feel stiff.
She smiled gently, and her eyes were warm and encouraging. “Sometimes, the biggest growth happens when we face our fears, not avoid them. Try to read it,” she said, looking right at me, “not just as lines, but as someone’s true feelings.” For days, the script lay unopened on my desk, a constant reminder of my anxiety, and I avoided looking at it. Hearing my confident classmates practice, their clear voices coming from the hall, only made me feel more like an outsider, as if I was standing outside a closed door, unsure if I could ever cross the gap between us.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
One evening, tired of my own worry, I finally picked up the script and began to read. To my surprise, the character’s feelings of being an outsider slowly started to make sense to me. I found myself reading his lines out loud in my quiet room. Each time, I imagined the scenes not as a performance, but as a true story I needed to tell. Ms. Jenkins stayed after school to practice with me, offering small corrections and constant encouragement. Her belief became a tiny, steady light in my growing confidence.
On the night of the performance, standing in the dark behind the curtain, I took a deep breath. I could hear the murmur of the audience. My hands were cold, but my mind was clear. I remembered Ms. Jenkins’ words: “Just tell the story.” The curtain rose, and the bright lights hit my face. Though still scared, I spoke the first line. The words flowed out, not from memory, but from a place of understanding. I wasn’t just a student on a stage anymore; for those moments, I truly was the character, sharing his truth. When the final line ended, the silence was broken by warm applause.

Passage 3
The day before yesterday, my class played a basketball game. As their chemistry teacher and class advisor, I watched as our team, led by Tom, the captain, fought hard. Tom’s quick moves and precise passes inspired his teammates. They battled as one, making every play count. The game was intense, with both teams neck and neck. In the final seconds, Tom made a daring drive to the hoop (篮筐), but the opponent scored a last-minute shot. We lost by just one point.
The next morning, the classroom was filled with a heavy atmosphere. Tom sat quietly, his head down, still weighed down by the loss. The rest of the class mirrored his mood—silent and withdrawn. It was clear that the defeat had dampened their spirits. I knew I had to do something to lift their spirits and remind them to pay more attention to the process.
The first class of the day was chemistry. As I looked at the lesson plan quickly, an idea began to take shape. I quickly prepared the necessary laboratory equipment and walked into the classroom.
“Alright, everyone,” I said, trying to get their attention. “I’m going to conduct an experiment, and I want you to observe it carefully. You’ll need to describe what you see afterward.” The room grew a little quieter as curiosity began to catch on. They turned their attention to me, and I could see a sign of interest in their eyes.
I picked up a piece of magnesium ribbon (镁条) and held it with a holder. When I brought it close to the burner fire, the ribbon started to flash. The whole class watched the experiment in amazement, their eyes wide open, focusing on my operation in awe. The magnesium ribbon burned away, leaving behind a soft white powder.

【答案】
“What impressed you most in the experiment?” I asked. Hands shot up, and one student said, “The magnesium ribbon burned so brightly, even though it turned into powder at the end.” I nodded, “Exactly! It’s like our basketball game. The process of striving, the teamwork, and the effort you put in are what truly matter, not just the final score.” The students seemed to understand, their faces brightening. I could see the wheels turning in their minds as they connected the experiment to their own experiences.
With my encouragement, Tom opened up and shared more. “I realized we shouldn’t be too focused on winning or losing,” he said. “We should enjoy the process and learn from it.” The class nodded in agreement. From then on, they started to train harder, focusing on improving their skills rather than just the outcome. Over time, their efforts paid off. In the next school activity, they performed exceptionally well, showing great teamwork and a positive attitude.

Passage 4
The Fearful Music Exam
The frightening day of our required music exam arrived. Our parents praised our school’s modern music room with its grand piano and sound system. My mother said it was better than many concert halls. But to me, the piano looked like a sleeping dragon, causing my extreme nervousness and fright.
Being painfully shy, I always chose group activities like choir practice. When Mr. Reed taught solo singing every Friday — a compulsory part of our music course — I’d stand behind the tallest classmate, humming softly to avoid attention.
Now, it was the final Friday — exam day. My fingers turned icy when Mr. Reed announced: “Today, everyone must sing alone for your final grade. Those who fail will retake the exam after school next month.”
As classmates took turns at the front, my knees knocked together. Each sang steadily into the microphone, voices clear under the bright ceiling lights. Soon I’d have to do what terrified me most — singing solo before thirty classmates.
Suddenly I recalled a TV singer’s interview: Watch and learn. So I observed carefully — how they adjusted the microphone height, stood with feet apart, took a deep belly breath, and focused on the back wall while singing. After eight performances, hope flickered in me. Those four steps seemed manageable.
When Mr. Reed called my name, my shoes squeaked (嘎吱作响) on the wooden floor. Every face turned toward me. My neck burned hot. Holding the microphone tightly, I tried the steps: Adjust, Stand, Breathe and Focus. But my voice came out thin and shaky. Even worse, I completely forgot the lyrics at the chorus (副歌). A wave of whispers swept the room as I went back to my seat.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Burying my face behind the piano lid, I was surprised when its polished surface reflected Mr. Reed approaching. His shadow fell across my trembling hands. He said softly, “I once forgot every note at my first concert.” He placed a sheet of lyrics before me. “Meet me after school Mondays? We’ll practice step by step.” His kindness warmed my frozen heart. That afternoon, we started with belly breathing. “Feel your feet root to the ground,” he guided. Though my voice still quivered, the piano lid no longer hid my tears of hope.
Three weeks later, holding the same microphone with sweat, I noticed raindrops tracing paths on the window. Adjust, stand, breathe and focus. I mouthed the steps. As the piano intro began, my feet planted firmly. This time, my voice was clear and steady. I felt the music flow through me, and I knew I had improved. When the last note faded, silence hung for a breath — then applause erupted like summer rain. Mr. Reed nodded and smiled, eyes crinkling. I had conquered my fear, and I knew I could face any challenge ahead.
