“You’re going to help the animals at a local shelter (避难所)find homes. Just imagine: If they could talk or write, what would they say? Please write letters for them to introduce them to their adopters (收养者)!”
Kensey Jones is a second-grade teacher at a primary school in Virginia, US. One day, she gave this writing topic to her students.
To help them with their writing, Kensey brought a puppy named Snow from the shelter to school. The students played with Snow and learned about how the shelter worked. This experience inspired(激发灵感)them to create lovely paintings and letters for 23 dogs and a cat. These pieces were later hung (挂)on the cages of the animals.
One of the letters reads, “Hello, my name is Sunday Special. I would love to be adopted. If you do adopt me, I hope I will brighten up (照亮)your Sundays like the SUN! You’ll be my Sunday Special, and I hope I’ll be yours!”
The warm words in these letters touched the hearts of adopters. All 24 of these animals found new homes. When the kids heard the news, they cheered with excitement. “All dogs and cats deserve (值得)a loving home,” said one kid.” I’m so glad to have helped them find great homes!”Task 1

Last Saturday, my six-year-old daughter Lily and I walked along the Xiangjiang River. She noticed a group in red waistcoats and was curious. I asked her to find out the answer herself. Lily interviewed Wang Yongheng, a farmer in his 50s. He explained that they patrol the river to prevent people from drowning.
Years ago, his five-year-old son lost his swimming ring in a pool and went underwater. Wang didn’t hear him cry for help. Luckily, a girl saw the danger and jumped into the water to save him. Others quickly joined, and his son was pulled out in less than two minutes. “Without those kind people, I might have lost my son,” Wang said.
To pass on the kindness, Wang volunteered to join the river patrol team in 2012. The team is always ready to help. Over the past ten years, they have saved hundreds of lives. “Every life means a lot to a family. By saving a life, we save a family,” Wang said.

Read the passage below and answer the following questions. (根据文章内容回答下列问题)
Last summer I spent a month helping out in a hospital with my parents as a charity. I thought it was a nice chance to see if I really wanted to be a doctor. It was the month that changed my life. I was introduced to a completely different world from the one I knew, and I soon understood how difficult people’s lives can be. But I was also shocked at how positively people go about their everyday lives. The way they come together and help each other is a real encouragement. Although I’m a girl, I’m not afraid of getting dirty or tired.
My volunteer work in the hospital was hard. I spent a lot of time cleaning floors and I also spent some time looking after the patients. I even talked to some doctors and knew about their jobs. They told me the difficulties being a doctor in the hospital—hard work, long hours, and so many emotional challenges. But they also said that they didn’t want to change their jobs and they just wanted to go on. Though it was a difficult experience, it didn’t change my mind about being a doctor.

The Tooth Fairy’s Secret
Have you heard of the Tooth Fairy (仙子)? Here are two passages about it.
Passage 1The Tooth Fairy is a magical figure of people’s early childhood. It says that when a child loses a baby tooth, if he or she puts it under the bed pillow (枕头), the Tooth Fairy will visit while the child sleeps, and change the lost baby tooth with a coin.
People believe it can provide such comfort for a child experiencing fear or pain when they lose a tooth. That’s why the Tooth Fairy tradition is practiced in many countries. A 2016 report found that American children receive $3.70 per tooth on average.
However, in another research, upon learning the Tooth Fairy is not real, 75% of the children said that they still liked the tradition, 5% didn’t support (支持) it and the others were neutral (中立的).Passage 2
“Mom, is the Tooth Fairy real?” Emma asked, holding a shiny coin in her hand.
Mom looked at her and she knew at once that Emma had seen her put the coin under the pillow last night.
“Well…the magic is real. But the Fairy is too busy, so sometimes she uses parents as her helpers.” Mom smiled and said.
Emma frowned (皱眉). “But that’s a lie!”
Mom said, “________”
Task 1: Read Passage 1 and answer the questions.
1.What does the underlined “it” refer to?
2.When will the Tooth Fairy visit a child, during the day or at night?
3.What will a child get from the Tooth Fairy?
4.According to the 2016 report, how much do American children receive per tooth on average?
5.In another research, upon learning the Tooth Fairy is not real, what percent of the children were neutral?
Task 2:
6.Write in about 30 words to complete what mother said to Emma.
(30)
【答案】1.A baby tooth. 2.At night. 3.A coin. 4.$5.6. 7.20%. 8.My dear, it’s not a lie. The real magic is the joy and surprise we create. Parents help to keep the wonder alive for you.
【导语】本文介绍了牙仙子的传说及其在不同文化中的实践情况,并通过研究数据和亲子对话展现了孩子们对这一传统的态度变化。
1.根据“It says that when a child loses a baby tooth, if he or she puts it under the bed pillow (枕头), the Tooth Fairy will visit while the child sleeps, and change the lost baby tooth with a coin.”可知,据传说,当孩子掉了一颗乳牙时,如果他或她把这颗牙放在枕头下,牙仙子就会在孩子睡着时,把那颗掉下来的乳牙换成一枚硬币,因此it指的是乳牙。故填A baby tooth.
2.根据“It says that when a child loses a baby tooth, if he or she puts it under the bed pillow (枕头), the Tooth Fairy will visit while the child sleeps, and change the lost baby tooth with a coin.”可知,牙仙女会在孩子睡着的时候光临,也就是夜晚的时候了。故填At night.
3.根据“It says that when a child loses a baby tooth, if he or she puts it under the bed pillow (枕头), the Tooth Fairy will visit while the child sleeps, and change the lost baby tooth with a coin.”可知,牙仙女会用一枚硬币换取孩子掉落的乳牙,也就是孩子们会得到一枚硬币。故填A coin.
4.根据“A 2016 report found that American children receive $3.70 per tooth on average.”可知,2016年的一份报告发现,美国儿童平均每颗牙齿获得3.7美元。故填$3.70.
5.根据“However, in another research, upon learning the Tooth Fairy is not real, 75% of the children said that they still liked the tradition, 5% didn’t support (支持) it and the others were neutral (中立的).”可知,然而,在另一项研究中,在得知牙仙子不是真的之后,75%的孩子说他们仍然喜欢这个传统,5%的孩子不支持这个传统,其他的孩子则持中立态度,也就是20%的孩子持中立态度。故填20%.
6.本题为开放性题目,答案不唯一。基于Passage 2上下文,妈妈需安抚Emma,强调“魔法”的真实性在于父母的关爱和传统带来的快乐,回应谎言指控,确保内容积极且约30词。故填My dear, it’s not a lie. The real magic is the joy and surprise we create. Parents help to keep the wonder alive for you.
进阶拓展训练4篇
根据短文内容完整回答下列问题。
①Bamboo is just a big piece of grass. It grows fast and is very thin. The oak (橡树) is a tree. It grows slow, straight and strong. It’s even thought to be a symbol (象征) of strength.
②A few years ago there was a big storm in Britain. It destroyed many old oaks that people thought could never be destroyed. There were also some bamboo trees at a zoo in Britain but they survived.
③The British were surprised. How could thin, fragile (脆弱的) bamboo trees survive a big storm when strong oaks could not?
④The reason is flexibility (柔韧性). The oak trees fought against the wind with their strength but the wind turned out to be stronger. The bamboo trees didn’t. Their flexibility allowed them to bend and let the wind pass by.
⑤Life is full of changes and we really can’t stop them. Recently some students at my school were upset when they got a new English teacher. They liked their old teacher and they didn’t like the new one because he had a different personality and a different style of teaching. Some students behaved (表现) like oaks. They refused to change and just stopped learning. Other students behaved like bamboo. It’s no surprise that the marks of the “oak” students went down but the marks of the “bamboo” students went up.
⑥When change comes into your life, don’t fight against it and break like an oak. Bend a little like bamboo and you will achieve success.
1.What is the oak thought to be?
2.What did a big storm do to many old oak trees in Britain a few years ago?
3.Does the underlined word “survived” in Paragraph 2 mean “continued to live” or “stopped growing”?
4.How did bamboo show flexibility in a storm?
5.Why didn’t some students like the new teacher?
6.Are you an “oak” student or a “bamboo” student? What do you do when you meet change in your life?
【答案】1.It is thought to be a symbol of strength. 2.It destroyed many old oak trees. 3.It means “continued to live”. 4.It bent and let the wind pass by. 5.Because the new teacher had a different personality and teaching style. 6.I am a “bamboo” student. When I meet change, I try to adapt and find new ways to learn.
【导语】本文通过橡树和竹子在风暴中的不同表现,以及学生在面对新老师时的不同态度,阐述了灵活应对变化的重要性。
1.根据“It’s even thought to be a symbol of strength.”可知,橡树被认为是力量的象征。故填It is thought to be a symbol of strength.
2.根据“It destroyed many old oaks that people thought could never be destroyed.”可知,风暴摧毁了许多老橡树。故填It destroyed many old oak trees.
3.根据“There were also some bamboo trees at a zoo in Britain but they survived.”和“How could thin, fragile bamboo trees survive a big storm when strong oaks could not”可知,脆弱的竹子在风暴中存活了下来,所以survived意为“继续生存”。故填It means “continued to live”.
4.根据“The bamboo trees didn’t. Their flexibility allowed them to bend and let the wind pass by.”可知,竹子在风暴中通过弯曲让风通过来展示它的柔韧性。故填It bent and let the wind pass by.
5.根据“They liked their old teacher and they didn’t like the new one because he had a different personality and a different style of teaching.”可知,一些学生们不喜欢新老师,因为他有不同的个性和教学风格。故填Because the new teacher had a different personality and teaching style.
6.开放式问题,根据实际情况作答,言之有理即可。参考答案为I am a “bamboo” student. When I meet change, I try to adapt and find new ways to learn.
Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题):
Feeling down? Hug a tree! Recently, many Chinese young people have found trees helpful for reducing stress. Although it looks strange, there’s a science behind hugging trees.
It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis (亲生命假说)”. Just being outside in nature is good for your mental health. US scientist Edward Wilson first discovered it in 1984. According to him, humans are born to love being close to other living things. Human’s love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural green views to city views. It’s also one of the reasons why people love cute pets.
Some studies have looked into why tree-hugging can help with our health. After people hug trees, they often say that they feel calmer and more relaxed than those who do not. A study found that the activity can increase oxytocin (催产素). It’s a hormone (荷尔蒙) that controls how you feel. The more oxytocin you have, the happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can make your body show a higher level of oxytocin.
Another hormone called cortisol (皮质醇) is a sign of stress. The brain creates more cortisol when a person is worried, angry or very sad. Hugging trees helps cut the process, which makes us feel better.
Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we should be kind when hugging trees. The tree is home to many small living things that are too small to be seen. We shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it.
1.When did US scientist first discover the “biophilia hypothesis”?
2.Do people prefer natural green views or city views?
3.What may happen if you hug a tree for more than 21 seconds?
4.Why should we be kind when hugging trees?
5.Will you try hugging trees next time you feel down? Why?
【答案】1.In 2. 3.People prefer natural green views. 4.Hugging a tree for more than 21 seconds may make the body show a higher level of oxytocin, and people may feel happier. 5.Because the tree is home to many small living things that are too small to be seen. We shouldn’t hurt nature. 6.Yes, I will. Because the article says hugging trees can reduce stress by increasing oxytocin and cutting cortisol, which makes people feel better.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,通过介绍“抱树减压”现象,讲解背后的科学原理,向读者科普自然与人类健康的关联知识。
1.根据“US scientist Edward Wilson first discovered it in 1984.”可知,“it”指代“biophilia hypothesis”。故填In 1984.
2.根据“This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural green views to city views.”可知,“prefer...to...”结构表明人们更倾向自然绿色景观。故填People prefer natural green views.
3.根据“A study found that...show a higher level of oxytocin.”可知,抱树21秒以上,催产素水平会更高,基于催产素与情绪的关联(越多越快乐),推导得出结果。故填Hugging a tree for more than 21 seconds may make the body show a higher level of oxytocin, and people may feel happier.
4.根据“The tree is home to many small living things that are too small to be seen. We shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it.”可知,树是微小生物的家园,不能伤害自然便是原因。故填Because the tree is home to many small living things that are too small to be seen. We shouldn’t hurt nature.
5.开放性试题,言之有理即可,参考答案:Yes, I will. Because the article says hugging trees can reduce stress by increasing oxytocin and cutting cortisol, which makes people feel better.

根据短文内容回答下列问题
Turning rubbish into new earth
My father is a quiet man. He has his thoughts, but he usually keeps them to himself. There is one thing that really gets him excited. Just say the word “rubbish” to him. Or I should say, he loves solving the rubbish problem very much!
“We have become a ‘throw-away’ society,” he says. “We buy and buy, and then we throw it away. We can’t keep doing this. Rubbish is everybody’s problem.” My father doesn’t just talk about it though. When he sees a problem, he tries to find a solution.
Last year, my father decided to do something about all the wasted food we were throwing away. One family makes nearly 500 pounds of food waste each year. We throw away the potato skins and the apple cores (核) when we finish with them. Imagine how they collect in the large area!
However, there is something that we can do to reuse rubbish. For example, if we carefully deal with food waste, it can be changed from rubbish to a rich, dark earth known as compost (肥料). This compost can be added to vegetable gardens to make the plants grow very well.
“I bought a compost bin today.” Dad said at dinner one night, “From now on, instead of throwing away all our food waste, we will put it in the compost bin. Mother Nature will slowly turn it from rubbish into earth.”
It took a while to get used to it, but soon, we were taking our food waste to the compost bin. In three months, we found it rich in compost material!

If I don’t buy this painting, no one else will buy it.” So he said to Tony, “What a terrible portrait! It doesn’t look like me at all! I won’t pay you anything.”
Hearing this, Tony’s face turned red and shouted loudly, “You can’t do that! I spent time painting this portrait with all my heart!”
“Well, if you say so, I will only pay 1,000 dollars for it. Will you sell it?” said the rich man.
Tony said firmly, “No! I will never be humiliated (被侮辱) in this way!”
After that, Tony worked hard day and night. Years passed, and the young man finally became well known in the art world.
The rich man forgot about Tony and what happened between them. But one day, a friend came, “Oh! I was looking for you! I just visited an art show. You know what? There is a painting in the central place with no price. 4 The painting’s title is ‘Cheater’.”

Last weekend, I decided to make cookies for our family picnic. I had seen Mom mix things in a bowl many times, but now I wanted to try. I put on my apron and put flour, sugar, and chocolate chips on the table, like toys ready to play with.
At first, making the dough was easy. I did what the recipe (食谱) said. But when the oven bell rang, I felt . The first plate of cookies was smelly and dark, like old leaves on the ground. My little sister, Lily, came in and made a face. “They look like rocks!” she said. I washed the bowl hard, feeling down. Just when I wanted to cry, Lily held my sleeve. “Don’t give up, big brother! Remember when I couldn’t ride my bike at first?” Her words made me feel a little better.
Just as I threw the burnt cookies away, I saw Grandma’s old apron hanging on the wall. The dirty marks on it told me she had made mistakes too. I touched the soft cloth and remembered how she always sang while baking. “If Grandma didn’t quit, neither will I,” I said to myself. Mom heard me and came over. “Let’s read the recipe together,” she smiled. She showed me how to check if the oven was too hot.
This time, I measured the sugar carefully, one spoon at a time. I even set a timer to make sure I baked them just right. When the new cookies came out of the oven, they were golden, like little clouds. At the picnic, Mom’s eyes opened wide when she took a bite. “These are the best cookies I’ve ever tasted!” she said.

Last Saturday, my six-year-old daughter Lily and I walked along the Xiangjiang River. She noticed a group in red waistcoats and was curious. I asked her to find out the answer herself. Lily interviewed Wang Yongheng, a farmer in his 50s. He explained that they patrol the river to prevent people from drowning.
Years ago, his five-year-old son lost his swimming ring in a pool and went underwater. Wang didn’t hear him cry for help. Luckily, a girl saw the danger and jumped into the water to save him. Others quickly joined, and his son was pulled out in less than two minutes. “Without those kind people, I might have lost my son,” Wang said.
To pass on the kindness, Wang volunteered to join the river patrol team in 2012. The team is always ready to help. Over the past ten years, they have saved hundreds of lives. “Every life means a lot to a family. By saving a life, we save a family,” Wang said.
1.Who did Lily interview along the river?
2.Why does Wang Yongheng’s team patrol the river?
3.How old was Wang’s son when the accident happened?
4.What did the girl do after she found Wang’s son in danger?
5.How long has Wang Yongheng been in the river patrol team?
6.What does Wang mean by saying “By saving a life, we save a family”?
Read the passage below and answer the following questions. (根据文章内容回答下列问题)
Last summer I spent a month helping out in a hospital with my parents as a charity. I thought it was a nice chance to see if I really wanted to be a doctor. It was the month that changed my life. I was introduced to a completely different world from the one I knew, and I soon understood how difficult people’s lives can be. But I was also shocked at how positively people go about their everyday lives. The way they come together and help each other is a real encouragement. Although I’m a girl, I’m not afraid of getting dirty or tired.
My volunteer work in the hospital was hard. I spent a lot of time cleaning floors and I also spent some time looking after the patients. I even talked to some doctors and knew about their jobs. They told me the difficulties being a doctor in the hospital—hard work, long hours, and so many emotional challenges. But they also said that they didn’t want to change their jobs and they just wanted to go on. Though it was a difficult experience, it didn’t change my mind about being a doctor.
1.Did the girl volunteer in the hospital for a month or for a summer?
2.How did she feel when she saw how positive people were?
3.What does the girl think of her volunteer work in the hospital?
4.What makes being a doctor difficult?
5.Would you like to be a doctor in the future? Why/Why not?
The Tooth Fairy’s Secret
Have you heard of the Tooth Fairy (仙子)? Here are two passages about it.
Passage 1The Tooth Fairy is a magical figure of people’s early childhood. It says that when a child loses a baby tooth, if he or she puts it under the bed pillow (枕头), the Tooth Fairy will visit while the child sleeps, and change the lost baby tooth with a coin.
People believe it can provide such comfort for a child experiencing fear or pain when they lose a tooth. That’s why the Tooth Fairy tradition is practiced in many countries. A 2016 report found that American children receive $3.70 per tooth on average.
However, in another research, upon learning the Tooth Fairy is not real, 75% of the children said that they still liked the tradition, 5% didn’t support (支持) it and the others were neutral (中立的).Passage 2
“Mom, is the Tooth Fairy real?” Emma asked, holding a shiny coin in her hand.
Mom looked at her and she knew at once that Emma had seen her put the coin under the pillow last night.
“Well…the magic is real. But the Fairy is too busy, so sometimes she uses parents as her helpers.” Mom smiled and said.
Emma frowned (皱眉). “But that’s a lie!”
Mom said, “________”
Task 1: Read Passage 1 and answer the questions.
1.What does the underlined “it” refer to?
2.When will the Tooth Fairy visit a child, during the day or at night?
3.What will a child get from the Tooth Fairy?
4.According to the 2016 report, how much do American children receive per tooth on average?
5.In another research, upon learning the Tooth Fairy is not real, what percent of the children were neutral?
Task 2:
6.Write in about 30 words to complete what mother said to Emma.

根据短文内容完整回答下列问题。
①Bamboo is just a big piece of grass. It grows fast and is very thin. The oak (橡树) is a tree. It grows slow, straight and strong. It’s even thought to be a symbol (象征) of strength.
②A few years ago there was a big storm in Britain. It destroyed many old oaks that people thought could never be destroyed. There were also some bamboo trees at a zoo in Britain but they survived.
③The British were surprised. How could thin, fragile (脆弱的) bamboo trees survive a big storm when strong oaks could not?
④The reason is flexibility (柔韧性). The oak trees fought against the wind with their strength but the wind turned out to be stronger. The bamboo trees didn’t. Their flexibility allowed them to bend and let the wind pass by.
⑤Life is full of changes and we really can’t stop them. Recently some students at my school were upset when they got a new English teacher. They liked their old teacher and they didn’t like the new one because he had a different personality and a different style of teaching. Some students behaved (表现) like oaks. They refused to change and just stopped learning. Other students behaved like bamboo. It’s no surprise that the marks of the “oak” students went down but the marks of the “bamboo” students went up.
⑥When change comes into your life, don’t fight against it and break like an oak. Bend a little like bamboo and you will achieve success.
1.What is the oak thought to be?
2.What did a big storm do to many old oak trees in Britain a few years ago?
3.Does the underlined word “survived” in Paragraph 2 mean “continued to live” or “stopped growing”?
4.How did bamboo show flexibility in a storm?
5.Why didn’t some students like the new teacher?
6.Are you an “oak” student or a “bamboo” student? What do you do when you meet change in your life?
Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题):
Feeling down? Hug a tree! Recently, many Chinese young people have found trees helpful for reducing stress. Although it looks strange, there’s a science behind hugging trees.
It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis (亲生命假说)”. Just being outside in nature is good for your mental health. US scientist Edward Wilson first discovered it in 1984. According to him, humans are born to love being close to other living things. Human’s love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural green views to city views. It’s also one of the reasons why people love cute pets.
Some studies have looked into why tree-hugging can help with our health. After people hug trees, they often say that they feel calmer and more relaxed than those who do not. A study found that the activity can increase oxytocin (催产素). It’s a hormone (荷尔蒙) that controls how you feel. The more oxytocin you have, the happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can make your body show a higher level of oxytocin.
Another hormone called cortisol (皮质醇) is a sign of stress. The brain creates more cortisol when a person is worried, angry or very sad. Hugging trees helps cut the process, which makes us feel better.
Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we should be kind when hugging trees. The tree is home to many small living things that are too small to be seen. We shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it.
1.When did US scientist first discover the “biophilia hypothesis”?
2.Do people prefer natural green views or city views?
3.What may happen if you hug a tree for more than 21 seconds?
4.Why should we be kind when hugging trees?
5.Will you try hugging trees next time you feel down? Why?
The Baltimore School for the Arts (BSA) is the dream high school for Antel McDowell, a 14-year-old student, who is from Maryland, the US. He has hoped to become a professional (专业的) dancer since he began dancing to music videos on television when he was young.
The school holds auditions (试镜) every year and there is a lot of competitions. McDowell, along with 1,322 other kids, competed for the 116 seats in next year’s class.
“I put all of my energy (精力) into getting ready for the auditions,” McDowell said. He practiced hard on weekends and after school, memorizing (记住) the songs he planned to perform. He also performed in front of family members and friends.
At the auditions, McDowell was asked to balance on one leg. McDowell stood straight and kept the rest of his body still. When he was told to lie on his back and relax, McDowell’s toes moved all the way out in the sides, showing his ankles’ flexibility (踝关节的柔韧性). “I was also asked to sing in Italian,” McDowell said. “I was so lucky, because I had practiced an Italian song.”
Last week, McDowell found that his hard work paid off — he passed the auditions. “You have a dream. Then, you must work hard to make it happen,” McDowell said. “When you realise your dream, you will find that all your hard work is worthwhile.”
1.Is McDowell a 14-year-old student from America?
2.What does Antel McDowell dream of being when he grows up?
3.How many students can get into the BSA to study next year?
4.What did McDowell do to get ready for the auditions?

Turning rubbish into new earth
My father is a quiet man. He has his thoughts, but he usually keeps them to himself. There is one thing that really gets him excited. Just say the word “rubbish” to him. Or I should say, he loves solving the rubbish problem very much!
“We have become a ‘throw-away’ society,” he says. “We buy and buy, and then we throw it away. We can’t keep doing this. Rubbish is everybody’s problem.” My father doesn’t just talk about it though. When he sees a problem, he tries to find a solution.
Last year, my father decided to do something about all the wasted food we were throwing away. One family makes nearly 500 pounds of food waste each year. We throw away the potato skins and the apple cores (核) when we finish with them. Imagine how they collect in the large area!
However, there is something that we can do to reuse rubbish. For example, if we carefully deal with food waste, it can be changed from rubbish to a rich, dark earth known as compost (肥料). This compost can be added to vegetable gardens to make the plants grow very well.
“I bought a compost bin today.” Dad said at dinner one night, “From now on, instead of throwing away all our food waste, we will put it in the compost bin. Mother Nature will slowly turn it from rubbish into earth.”
It took a while to get used to it, but soon, we were taking our food waste to the compost bin. In three months, we found it rich in compost material!

2.What does the writer’s father really enjoy?

Then, the rich man remembered the artist and his face turned red at once. He quickly went to apologize and paid for the portrait. The young painter made the rich man keep his promise in the end.

Without much change in the past six days, I finally see some new progress on Buddy as it has grown taller. It’s exciting to see new life like this. I hope Buddy can grow faster.

It’s really interesting to grow potatoes. During these fifteen days, I have learned that growing potato plants needs plenty of water. If soil is dry, the potato will fail to grow.
