He asked if a Soviet icebreaker could come. The Soviets agreed. One of their icebreakers was nearby. The environmentalist immediately contacted the U.S. government. They quickly cooperated. The Soviet icebreaker was on its way, and the U.S. government sent a team to Alaska to meet it. The Americans gave the Soviets detailed photos of the area, and they made a plan together. Finally, the icebreaker reached the whales. A path had been cleared! It took a couple of days for the whales to make it through to open sea, but then they were safe.

The eight children dropped their bags on the tables and sat down on the mat at the front, chatting. Peter held up a hand and the talking stopped. “We will start with a song,” he suggested. In a couple of years, he knew the boys didn’t want to sing like this. But for now, they were happy to join in with the children in the YouTube video he would play. Peter has been leading the French after-school club for three years after retiring from his job at a high school, which might be a way to keep him active and stop him from being lonely. He now looks forward to his French Club afternoons. He invented counting games and color games, and used classroom resources like blocks and puzzles to build the youngsters’ vocabulary. Peter liked all of the young kids, but there was one little boy Henry who stood out. He had a soft voice and he understood what the teacher offered easily. He was polite and gentle. His accent was better than anyone else’s. Peter was careful not to single him out as someone special, but he loved to listen to him. After some weeks, Peter noticed that Henry was speaking some French that hadn’t been taught at the club. “He must be having additional lessons elsewhere,” Peter thought in his heart. One Thursday afternoon, Peter taught the kids how to use an electric frying pan to make crepes (法式薄饼). They happily enjoyed the process and ate the crepes as quickly as they were produced. They only stopped eating when it was time to pack up for home. There, an elderly woman with an elegant hairstyle stood at the gate of the classroom. “Camille,” Henry called cheerfully, dashing across the room to hug his grandmother. “Bonjour,” Peter said to the lady gently, “ 59 .” “Thank you so much. He loves your club and is looking forward to coming every week” said Camille. Task 1: Answer the following questions. 54. The eight children would start with a song, wouldn’t they? 55. Why did Peter lead the French after-school club after retiring? 56. What did Peter do to build the youngsters’ vocabulary? 57. How was Henry’s accent in the French Club? 58. What kind of teacher do you think Peter was? Give your reason(s). Task 2: 59. Complete what Peter said to Camille in about 30 words. VI. Writing.（作文）（本大题共1题，共15分） 60.
