When we were leaving, she finally walked to the old man and wished him a happy birthday. Then I came up behind her and gave him my own wishes. He was so grateful that his eyes were filled with tears. When we walked away, he called my daughter back and gave her some candies. But that wasn’t enough for him. He took out two bells from his bag and handed them to my daughter.

A happy little dog decided to visit this place. When he arrived, he jumped up the stairs of the house. His ears rose high and his tail was wagging as fast as he could. To his surprise, he saw 1,000 happy dogs in the mirrors. They wagged their tails as fast as him. He smiled a big smile. He saw 1,000 friendly smiles. As he left, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place. I will come back again.” In the same village, there was another little dog. He was not happy all the time. He also decided to visit the house. He climbed the stairs slowly. He hung his head low when he looked into the mirrors. He saw 1,000 unfriendly dogs staring at (盯) him. He shouted at them. He was scared to see 1,000 little dogs shouting back at him. After he left, he thought to himself, “That is a terrible place. I will never go back there again.” In fact, all the faces in the world are mirrors. When you smile at others, they’ll smile at you, too. 43. What can we learn from the story? A. The second dog liked the house. B. The two dogs were brothers. C. The first dog wanted to live in the house. D. The two dogs had different feelings about the house. 44.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文通过两只小狗在“千镜屋”的不同经历，告诉我们：你对别人友善，别人也会友善地对待你。 【43题详解】 第二段“This is a wonderful place. I will come back again.”和第三段指出“That is a terrible place. I will never go back there again.”，两只狗对这个地方有着不同的感受。 【44题详解】 画线词前文“His ears rose high and his tail was wagging as fast as he could. To his surprise, he saw 1,000 happy dogs in the mirrors. They wagged their tails as fast as him.”可知，小狗很开心，摇着尾巴，镜子里的狗也跟着摇尾巴。因此“wagging”的意思是“摇摆”。 【45题详解】 最后一段指出“In fact, all the faces in the world are mirrors. When you smile at others, they’ll smile at you, too.”，作者想告诉我们：如果你对别人表现出善意，你也会被友善对待。 D If you like nature, Mona Island is a wonderful place to take a vacation.

His illness influenced (影响) his legs, which made it difficult for him to walk. Then my family started looking for nursing homes. It took us two weeks before making a decision. Unluckily, he had to stay there until he improved. Then I knew the care and service old people needed and how important it was to volunteer at a nursing home. I did volunteer work at my grandfather’s nursing home last summer. I volunteered twice a week during the summer. I learned many things about nursing homes, including the old people’s life, the care they received and the environment around them. I worked with Dr. Smith, the one who planned activities for the old. I read their children’s letters to them. Besides, I helped them on special days like Ice Cream Day, Summer Picnic Day and Clown Around Day. I also took the old people for walks or had birthday parties for them. I had many good experiences both volunteering and visiting my grandfather. My volunteering experience showed that I could bring joy to old people.
