2026-2027学年外研版英语Unit 3 单元测试卷 答案 1．C 2．D 3．B 【难度】0.65 【知识点】方法/策略、日常生活 、说明文 【导语】本文体裁为说明文。文章以简明扼要的方式列出了制定和遵守预算的几个好处，包括帮助人们合理分配开支、避免债务、应对紧急情况以及带来心理上的安心感。 【详解】1．细节理解题。由文章最后一个小标题“A budget gives you peace of mind. (预算能让你安心。)”可知，制定预算的好处之一是可以让你心安。 故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据文章A budget allows you to spend money on things you really need or want.部分中的“A budget requires you to keep track of your expenses. You see where your money actually goes and plan where to cut back on spending. (预算要求你记录你的开支。你知道你的钱实际花在哪里，并计划在哪里削减开支。)”可知，记录开销的重要性在于你可以清楚地看到钱的实际去向，并据此规划何处可以减少支出。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据文章A budget can keep you out of debt部分中的“If you use credit cards, this may not be obvious. You might have extra cash at the end of each month and think that you’re OK. But, if you’re not paying your credit card bills in full, you’re probably living beyond your means. (如果你使用信用卡，这可能不太明显。你可能每个月底都有多余的现金，并认为你还可以。但是，如果你没有全额支付信用卡账单，你很可能入不敷出。)”可知，用信用卡时，你可能不会明显感觉到超支，但如果不能全额还清信用卡账单，实际上可能是在超前消费，即花的钱比赚的多。因此使用信用卡可能给你带来问题。故选B项。 4．B 5．A 6．D 7．C 【难度】0.65 【知识点】家人和亲人 、记叙文、个人经历 【导语】主要讲述作者自幼受父亲熏陶学习绘画，经历自我怀疑、放弃绘画后重拾热爱，最终在艺术学习中接纳自我、建立艺术自信的成长故事。 【详解】4．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“My father grew up in a small village in the Dominican Republic. Despite not having many materials available, he created art with whatever he had.(我父亲在多米尼加共和国的一座小村庄长大。尽管当时可用的材料十分匮乏，他依旧利用手头仅有的一切东西进行艺术创作。)”以及前文父亲从小教作者画画的内容可知，作者介绍父亲的成长经历，是为了说明父亲坚韧的艺术态度与热爱，是其影响自己艺术成长的根源。 5．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“I started to worry that I could never live up to my father’s talent. My simple, two-dimensional drawings fell flat compared to his realistic landscapes.(我开始担心自己永远达不到父亲那样的水准。和他写实的风景画相比，我那些简单的平面画作完全fell flat。)”可知，作者认为自己的画作远不如父亲的作品生动出彩，缺乏视觉吸引力，由此可知，画线短语表示“缺乏视觉美感与吸引力”。 6．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He studied very hard. Eventually, my father was able to obtain his citizenship.(他刻苦求学，最终成功获得公民身份。)”以及第五段中的“Mia, you should audition for the school. I wish I’d had an opportunity to study art like this when I was a kid.(米娅，你应该参加这所学校的艺考，我小时候多希望能拥有这样学习艺术的机会。)”可知，父亲自身坚韧上进、持之以恒，同时鼓励支持作者的艺术追求，是坚持不懈且乐于支持他人的人。 7．推理判断题。根据尾段中的“I learned to embrace my individuality and my talent. I have become more open about sharing my artworks and receiving constructive criticism, which raises my self-belief in my art.(我学会接纳自己的独特与天赋。如今我更愿意主动分享作品、接受建设性的批评，这也增强了我对自身创作的信心。)”可知，作者正视自身不足、接纳不完美，在包容自我与接纳建议中收获自信，说明自信源于接纳不完美。 8．D 9．B 10．A 11．C 【难度】0.65 【知识点】日常生活 、情绪、说明文 【导语】文章主要讲述人们等候、排队时习惯性低头刷手机的社会现象，介绍放空思绪、自由遐想（思绪漫游）带来的多重益处，包括舒缓情绪、换位思考、激发思路解决难题、拉近人际情感距离等，倡导人们利用碎片时间放下手机，主动放空大脑。 【详解】8．细节理解题。根据第三段“Erin Westgate, a social psychology professor, compares mindless phone scrolling to “brain candy”. It brings us short-term pleasure but no meaningful value.(社会心理学教授Erin Westgate将无目的地刷手机比作“大脑糖果”。它只能给我们带来短暂的愉悦，却没有任何有意义的价值)”可知，无脑刷手机只能带来短暂、肤浅的快乐。 9．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Many people are afraid of boredom, but they usually overestimate how terrible it is. In a 2022 study, participants believed that sitting alone and doing nothing for 20 minutes would be painful. Surprisingly, after the experiment, they said they felt much happier than they had expected.(很多人害怕无聊，但他们往往高估了独处放空的糟糕程度。在2022年的一项研究中，参与者认为独自静坐20分钟什么都不做会十分煎熬。令人意外的是，实验结束后，他们表示自己的感受远比预想中愉悦)”可知，这项研究证明人们低估了放空思绪、独处遐想的美好，即白日遐想的价值被低估。 10．推理判断题。根据第六段中“Even when we stop thinking actively, our brains remain active in a “default mode”. In this state, different ideas can connect in new ways, which helps a lot with difficult and complex problems.(即便我们停止主动思考，大脑仍会在“默认模式”下保持活跃。在这种状态中，不同想法能以全新的方式产生联结，这对处理复杂棘手的问题大有帮助)”可知，不刻意聚焦的放空思考能够碰撞出新思路、激发创造力。 11．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“However, scientific studies show that if you can stop this habit and let your mind wander freely, you can gain many real benefits.(然而科学研究表明，如果你改掉刷手机的习惯，让思绪自由漫游，你会收获诸多实实在在的益处)”可知，文章主要讲述了思绪漫游的诸多益处，C选项“Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind(释放你漫游思想的能量)”作为文章标题最为合适。 12．B 13．D 14．A 15．C 【难度】0.65 【知识点】议论文、习惯养成教育、家庭生活 【导语】本文讲述五位父亲针对是否给孩子零花钱表达了不同看法，有人拒绝发放，也有人选择以不同方式给孩子零花钱并借此培养其金钱观念。 【详解】12．细节理解题。根据第二段“If my child ever wants something and I feel it is necessary, I will buy it for him.(如果孩子想要某样东西，而我认为这是必需品，我就会给他买。)”可知，阿希什・坎纳会为孩子购买他认为真正需要的物品。 13．细节理解题。根据第五段“I will give her a fixed amount every month and if she spends all the money before the month is over, then she will learn a lesson and not spend money so freely.(我每个月都会给她固定数额的零花钱，如果她在月底前把钱花光，就能吸取教训，不再随意花钱。)”可知，拉吉夫・帕特尔会每月给孩子零花钱。 14．推理判断题。根据第六段“This helps him realize that “money does not grow on trees” and it needs hard work to earn money.(这能让他明白“钱不是大风刮来的”，赚钱需要付出辛勤劳动。)”可知，维克拉姆・德赛认为孩子通过赚取零花钱会懂得赚钱并不容易。 15．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Parents have widely different views on pocket money. Five new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered.(家长们对于零花钱持有截然不同的看法。五位新晋父亲接受了相关提问，以下是他们的回答。)”可知，文章主要介绍了五位父亲对于孩子零花钱的不同观点。 16．D 17．G 18．B 19．E 20．C 【难度】0.64 【知识点】说明文、家庭生活 【导语】介绍家庭游戏之夜的重要意义：减少电子屏幕时间、营造积极家庭文化、培养良性竞争与合作能力、增进家庭成员心理健康。 【详解】16．根据上文 “In today’s busy digital world, finding quality time for family is a common challenge.(在如今数码时代，一家人很难找到优质陪伴时光)” 以及下文 “It offers a relaxing yet effective way to bond, laugh and learn.(它提供了一种既轻松惬意又富有成效的方式，让人增进情谊、开怀欢笑、共同学习)” 可知，空格处给出解决办法，引出家庭游戏之夜。D选项 “An ideal solution is family game night.(一个理想的解决办法就是家庭游戏之夜)” 承上启下。 17．根据上文 “Instituting a regular family game night lets family members unplug and connect.(固定家庭游戏之夜能让家人放下电子设备、彼此交流)” 可知，空格处说明这种面对面互动带来的好处。G选项 “This mindful interaction creates a sense of engagement, allowing for stronger emotional bonds.(这种用心的互动能提升参与感，加深情感联结)” 承接上文。 18．根据后文“When a family consistently makes time to be together, it builds a strong internal culture. Just like companies and schools have team-building exercises, families need routines that strengthen their values. Game night becomes more than a pastime. It becomes a tradition that represents joy, unity, and respect for one another. It sends a message that spending time together is a priority.(当一个家庭坚持抽出时间彼此相伴，就能塑造浓厚的家庭内在氛围。 就像公司和学校会开展团建活动一样，家庭也需要固定的日常仪式来筑牢家风价值观。 家庭游戏之夜早已不只是一种消遣娱乐， 它已然成为一种传统，承载着欢乐、和睦与彼此尊重。 这也在传递一种态度：家人相伴的时光，理应被放在首位)”本段讲述固定家庭聚会能形成家庭氛围、家庭传统与价值观。B选项 “Build a positive family culture.(打造积极的家庭文化)” 概括本段主旨，适合做小标题。 19．根据下文 “Through competitive games, children learn to pursue excellence, deal with loss and setbacks, and respect others’ skills. Through cooperative games, they learn to work as a team, listen and contribute and resolve disagreements constructively.(通过竞技类游戏，孩子学会追求卓越、面对失利与挫折，并尊重他人的长处。 通过合作类游戏，他们学会团队协作、倾听他人、主动付出，并用积极理性的方式化解分歧)” 可知，空格处总起说明游戏分为个人竞技和团队协作两类。E选项 “Some games inspire individual competition, while others require teamwork.(有些游戏激发个人竞争，另一些则需要团队合作)” 引出下文分述。 20．根据下文 “Children and teens face academic pressure, peer challenges, and emotional confusion.(孩子和青少年面临学业、人际和情绪压力)” 可知，空格处说明压力困扰的对象,引出下文青少年的压力现状。C选项 “Stress doesn’t just affect adults.(压力并不只影响成年人)” 符合语境。 21．C 22．A 23．A 24．D 25．C 26．B 27．A 28．C 29．D 30．D 31．A 32．B 33．D 34．B 35．C 【难度】0.72 【知识点】家人和亲人 、生活故事、记叙文 【导语】文章主要讲述姐姐悄悄录制亲友祝福视频，给弟弟三十岁生日准备惊喜，弟弟深受感动的故事。 【详解】21．考查动词。句意：她决定拍摄一段视频，让杰克知道每个人有多在乎他！A. promised承诺；B. struggled努力，挣扎；C. decided决定；D. happened发生。根据前文“One creative sister came up with a good way”可知，她想出了好办法，此处表示她决定录制视频。 22．考查副词。句意：这几乎不是一个人能完成的任务。A. hardly几乎不；B. regularly定期地；C. commonly通常地；D. simply仅仅。根据后文“So, this woman brought her brother’s friends and family into the ________!”可知，她需要找人帮忙，说明这件事单凭一人很难完成。 23．考查名词。句意：于是这位女士把弟弟的朋友和家人也拉入这场惊喜筹备中！A. surprise惊喜；B. discussion讨论；C. occasion场合；D. party派对。根据首段中“to amaze her brother”及“let Jake know just how much everyone cared about him”可知，全文围绕给弟弟准备生日惊喜展开，此处指让大家参与惊喜筹备。 24．考查名词。句意：她让每个人对着镜头说一些关于杰克的话。A. television电视；B. radio收音机；C. phone手机；D. camera摄像机。根据首段中“She ________ to film a video”可知，她要录制视频，需要大家对着镜头说话。 25．考查名词。句意：然后，她把所有人的话语汇编成了一段视频！A. gifts礼物；B. suggestions建议；C. words话语；D. photos照片。根据前文“She had each person say something about Jake”可知，每个人讲述关于杰克的话，因此汇编的是大家的话语。 26．考查动词。句意：有人拍下了杰克收到这份惊喜时最甜蜜的瞬间。A. guessing猜测；B. receiving收到；C. missing错过；D. showing展示。根据后文“he got to watch everyone he ________ tell him exactly how much he meant to them!”可知，杰克是惊喜的接收者，他坐在电视前看视频，他正在接收这个惊喜。 27．考查动词。句意：片段里，杰克和家人坐在电视机前，本打算看一场电影。A. intending打算；B. choosing选择；C. continuing继续；D. remembering记得。根据空后“to enjoy a movie.

In my opinion, this happens because teens want privacy and independence. They are afraid parents may worry or interfere. However, I don't agree with completely blocking. It may make parents feel left out and damage family trust. Instead, we should find a balance. To conclude, I suggest open communication and setting proper boundaries together. That way, parents can understand us and we can keep some privacy. Mutual respect is the key. Version 2 Recently, our school English newspaper has sparked a discussion about teenagers blocking their parents on social media.   In recent years, it has become common for teenagers to do this. This phenomenon reflects the generation gap and adolescents’ pursuit of privacy. Teens desire a space free from parental scrutiny, where they can express themselves freely. Personally, while I understand the need for personal space, complete isolation from family on social media isn’t ideal. Open communication is key. We should balance privacy and family connection, perhaps by having honest talks with family about our boundaries. 【难度】0.65 【知识点】社会问题与社会现象、家庭关系 【导语】本篇书面表达是一篇投稿征文。要求考生写一篇短文参与关于“青少年在社交媒体上设置分组屏蔽家人”这一现象的讨论。 【详解】1.词汇积累 普遍的：common→universal 渴望：desire→long for 关键的：key→vital 应该：should→be supposed to 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：This phenomenon reflects the generation gap and adolescents’ pursuit of privacy. 拓展句：This phenomenon reflects the generation gap and adolescents’ pursuit of privacy, which is important to teenagers. 【点睛】[高分句型1]Teens desire a space free from parental scrutiny, where they can express themselves freely.（运用了where引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]Personally, while I understand the need for personal space, complete isolation from family on social media isn’t ideal.（运用了while引导让步状语从句） 47. Thinking of the efforts his grandfather had made, Tom knew what he must do immediately. He flung the door and rushed outside without a second thought. Picking up a broom(扫帚), he began sweeping away the fallen leaves and the broken branches. Despite the coldness in the dark, he worked hard, feeling a sense of mission he hadn't experienced in a long time. His face was full of determination, with sweat streaming down his cheeks. Looking at him, His family smiled with relief. As they continued working bit by bit, the garden started to take on a new look. Tom stood in the centre of the garden and took a deep breath, enjoying the brand-new garden. He was appreciating the renewed garden when his Mom came over. She gently put her hand on his shoulder and praised, "I'm so proud of you, Tom." Tom lowered his head slightly, his cheeks flushing with shame. "Mom, I'm really sorry for always being so obsessed with(沉湎于) games." His mom's eyes softened, and she pulled him into a warm hug. He realised that it was much easier to set up a virtual world in the game Minecraft but not that easy to build a garden in reality, because the real world needed responsibility, joined efforts and more communication. This experience was like a little seed, thriving in the corner of Tom's heart and encouraging him to be a better self. 想到爷爷曾经付出的心血，Tom清楚自己必须立刻行动起来。他猛地推开门，毫不犹豫地冲了出去。拿起一把扫帚，他开始清扫落叶与折断的树枝。尽管夜色深沉、寒气逼人，他仍卖力地劳作着，心中涌起一种久违的使命感。他神情坚毅，汗水顺着脸颊滚落。全家人望着他，欣慰地笑了。在他们的齐心协力、逐步清理下，花园渐渐焕发出新的模样。Tom站在花园中央深深吸了口气，静静欣赏着焕然一新的花园。 他正端详着这生机勃勃的花园，妈妈走了过来。她轻轻把手搭在他的肩上，赞许道：“Tom，妈妈真为你骄傲。” Tom微微低下头，脸颊因羞愧而泛红。“妈妈，对不起，我以前总是沉迷游戏。” 妈妈的眼神渐渐柔和下来，伸手给了他一个温暖的拥抱。Tom恍然大悟：在《我的世界》里搭建虚拟世界轻而易举，但在现实中打造一座花园却绝非易事 —— 因为真实的世界需要责任担当、携手同心，更需要真诚的沟通。这段经历就像一颗小小的种子，在Tom的心里悄然扎根、茁壮成长，激励着他成为更优秀的自己 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年外研版英语Unit 3 单元测试卷（共120分） 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A Benefits of Keeping a Budget (预算) A budget allows you to spend money on things you really need or want. A budget requires you to keep track of your expenses. You see where your money actually goes and plan where to cut back on spending. The money you used to spend daily on little things like coffee or taxis can go toward something more important. A budget can keep you out of debt. With a budget, you know whether or not you’re living within your means. If you use credit cards, this may not be obvious. You might have extra cash at the end of each month and think that you’re OK. But, if you’re not paying your credit card bills in full, you’re probably living beyond your means. A budget can make you better prepared for emergencies (紧急情况). A budget requires you to put your money away in savings. So, if you find yourself in a difficult situation or faced with unexpected expenses, you’ll have some extra money you can fall back on. A budget gives you peace of mind. Because it allows you to stop worrying about how you’re going to make ends meet. 1．Which of the following is the benefit of keeping a budget? A．Spending money on anything. B．Keeping others in your debt. C．Giving you peace of mind. D．Living beyond your means. 2．Why is it important to keep track of your expenses according to the article? A．You can know how much you make. B．You can stop worrying about money. C．You can fall back on some extra money. D．You can see where your money goes. 3．Why can using credit cards be a problem according to the article? A．You are living within your means when growing up. B．You may be spending more money than you’re earning. C．You can be told how much you need to spend at university. D．You can put some extra cash away in savings tomorrow. B One of my earliest memories is of my father sitting me down at our kitchen table with canvases, paints, and brushes. He taught me how to blend colors and use different materials. Whenever we felt inspired, we set out all our materials and painted what our hearts desired. My father grew up in a small village in the Dominican Republic. Despite not having many materials available, he created art with whatever he had. My father saved his money to buy paints and colored pencils to draw on the walls around his home. When he was 15, he arrived in America alone and stayed with his aunt in Florida for a while before finishing high school in New York with another aunt. He studied very hard. Eventually, my father was able to obtain his citizenship. As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies. He taught me to find beauty in everything and everyone around me. I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful. It wasn’t until I began looking carefully into my father’s paintings and the work of popular artists on Instagram that I started to be more critical of my work. I started to worry that I could never live up to my father’s talent. My simple, two-dimensional drawings fell flat compared to his realistic landscapes. Going through my sketchbooks and portfolios, I found fault in all my drawings. Art was my favorite thing in the world but I started to believe I wasn’t good at it. Instead of working toward improving, I decided to give up drawing. My father noticed that I had been drawing and painting less and told me, “Mia, you should audition for the school. I wish I’d had an opportunity to study art like this when I was a kid.” My father’s bravery and strength are things that I desire to have. So over the next few months, I worked on my portfolio. Looking back at my pictures, I can see how much I have improved since then. The school must have seen potential in my drawings because I got in! It was eye-opening to attend a college that specializes in the arts. I learned to embrace my individuality and my talent. I have become more open about sharing my artworks and receiving constructive criticism, which raises my self-belief in my art. 4．Why does the author introduce her father’s experience in paragraph 2? A．To prove that art is a way to fight poverty. B．To illustrate the roots of her father’s influence on her. C．To criticize the lack of educational chances in rural areas. D．To contrast her life with the difficulties her father experienced. 5．What do the underlined words “fell flat” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Lacked visual appeal. B．Outshone other works. C．Had complex structures. D．Looked incredibly realistic. 6．What kind of person is the author’s father? A．Brave and carefree. B．Creative but stubborn. C．Ambitious but dependent. D．Persistent and supportive. 7．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Art is about following established rules. B．Talent guarantees admission to art programs. C．Confidence comes from accepting imperfection. D．Progress can be achieved through trial and error. C When we wait at a bus stop or stand in a line, most people will lower their heads and scroll through their phones. However, scientific studies show that if you can stop this habit and let your mind wander freely, you can gain many real benefits. We spend almost half of our awake time daydreaming. But this mental state is not always enjoyable. A study once showed that some people even chose to receive small electric shocks rather than stay alone with their own thoughts. This perfectly explains why we pick up our phones automatically as soon as we have free time. Erin Westgate, a social psychology professor, compares mindless phone scrolling to “brain candy”. It brings us short-term pleasure but no meaningful value. She also points out that most great human achievements come from deep and high-level thinking, not simple amusement. So next time you have a few spare minutes, put your phone aside and let your thoughts flow. Many people are afraid of boredom, but they usually overestimate how terrible it is. In a 2022 study, participants believed that sitting alone and doing nothing for 20 minutes would be painful. Surprisingly, after the experiment, they said they felt much happier than they had expected. Kou Murayama, a famous researcher, says that the ability to let your mind wander is unique to humans. When we daydream, we can look back on past experiences and think from other people’s perspectives. This special ability helps us study better and understand others more easily. Besides, mind-wandering plays an important role in solving problems. Many people come up with better solutions when they relax their minds instead of focusing hard on a problem all the time. This often happens during daily activities like driving or taking a shower. Even when we stop thinking actively, our brains remain active in a “default mode”. In this state, different ideas can connect in new ways, which helps a lot with difficult and complex problems. Apart from improving our cognitive ability, daydreaming also helps strengthen our social and emotional relationships. A study found that imagining happy moments with family and friends can make us feel closer to them.

Five new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered. Ashish Khanna: Although many argue that pocket money helps develop children’s sense of value, I don’t agree. I wouldn’t give my child any pocket money. First of all, I never got pocket money when I was a child and I seem to have a good sense of value. If my child ever wants something and I feel it is necessary, I will buy it for him.      Sharad Sanghi: I wouldn’t give my child pocket money because I don’t want her to form the perception (看法) of “her” money and “my” money. Besides, if I refuse to buy her something that I think is bad for her, she may buy it with her pocket money secretly. I feel it also encourages children to care more about money than anything else. I don’t want my child to start judging other children by the amount of money they have. Rakesh Shah: I would give my child pocket money. I feel that children should learn to spend money intelligently and not go overboard on spending. They will learn what their limitations are and feel the difficulty when they have to pay for something that they can’t afford. Rajiv Patel: I would give my child pocket money because it is important for her to learn how to manage money. I will give her a fixed amount every month and if she spends all the money before the month is over, then she will learn a lesson and not spend money so freely. Vikram Desai: I would certainly give my child pocket money. But I would not give it to him on a weekly or monthly basis. He would have to earn it. If he helps me finish some of my jobs or helps his mother with housework, I will reward him. This helps him realize that “money does not grow on trees” and it needs hard work to earn money. 12．What do you know about Ashish Khanna? A．He helps his child develop better without money.

Instituting a regular family game night lets family members unplug and connect. 17 ■ 18 When a family consistently makes time to be together, it builds a strong internal culture. Just like companies and schools have team-building exercises, families need routines that strengthen their values. Game night becomes more than a pastime. It becomes a tradition that represents joy, unity, and respect for one another. It sends a message that spending time together is a priority. ■ Encourage healthy competition and cooperation.

Tom was playing computer games for increasing amounts of time, and gradually, he hardly left his seat. Mary tried to limit his game time, but this only seemed to fuel his addiction further and cause more arguments. Among his games, there was one he especially liked:Minecraft. In it, he would design his own virtual world as he wanted it to be. Although desperate, Mary never gave up on finding a way to help the boy struggling with this gaming addiction. She decided to take Tom to visit his grandfather, who owned a big farm. Every day, his grandfather walked through rows of crops, examining the plants for pests or disease.He found great satisfaction in caring for the land and animals. For him, the farm was not just a place of work but a way of life. Tom was unwilling to leave his game, but he knew it was not a good idea to go against his mother this time. When they arrived at the airport in the late afternoon, Grandfather drove them to his farm.They were all packed in the car, with adults chatting and laughing, but Tom felt lonely.Looking out of the window, he was attracted by the amazing scenery. The water was blue and sunlight glittered on its clear surface and the grassland flowed like a sea of green. He couldn't help thinking of the world he would have designed in his computer game. After settling down, Tom shut himself in his room. Except for dinner, he refused to come out of his room and remained there all day.Sometimes, he stood by the window, staring at the peaceful garden his grandfather had made. One night, drops of water from the ceiling dripped onto his face, making him wake up.Shocked at what he saw, he realized a big rainstorm had just ended. He stood with his nose pressed against the glass, watching his family struggling to clear the mess in the dim light. Thinking of the efforts his grandfather had made, Tom knew what he must do immediately. He was appreciating the renewed garden when his mom came over. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
