Safe Travel Abroad
Preparing to go traveling abroad can be really stressful (有压力的), especially if you don't know what to expect. Here is a list of important things to remember, so you know exactly what you need to do before you take off.
What vaccines (疫苗) do I need?
Go to your doctor for advice as soon as you know you're going traveling. They will know what vaccines you will need and will be able to advise you on when you need to have them. Remember, some vaccines need to be given months ahead, so make sure you book an appointment as early as possible.
Do I need a visa?
It's important that you have the correct official documents for traveling abroad. If you don't have the necessary paperwork, you might be refused entry. You'll need to check that your passport hasn't been out of date either.
How do I arrange travel insurance (保险)?
Travel insurance is really important. It can protect you in different kinds of situations, such as if you need medical treatment or if your flights are canceled. Travel insurance can be arranged easily online or over the phone, but you can always turn to your local travel agency. Travel agents will also be able to advise you on what you are insured against.
21. Who will most probably be interested in this text?
A. Those who work in insurance companies.
B. Those who need medical treatment.
C. Those who plan to travel abroad.
D. Those who want to take vaccines.
22. What can't we know from the passage?
A. It can be really stressful to prepare to go traveling abroad.
B. You might be refused entry if you don't have necessary paperwork.
C. It's not difficult to arrange travel insurance online or over the phone.
D. Some vaccines need to be given ahead, for some vaccines cannot easily be bought sometimes.
23. What is the main purpose of the text?

In recent years, the number of foreign guests increased rapidly. More and more hotels have western-style food services. At the same time, more and more Chinese people have accustomed to the hobby of eating western-style food.
When eating western-style food, you can talk with others freely and lightly. But, when you talk with others, don’t chew the food in your mouth. Generally speaking, clean your lips with napkins before talking or drinking.
When eating western-style food, you cannot hold the plate when eating; and you cannot stab the food while eating a large piece of food. You should cut the food into small pieces and then put them into your mouth.
When eating western-style food, the way of eating is similar to the way of eating Cantonese food. That is — drink soup first and then eat the dishes. When drinking the soup, hold the spoon with right hand, and the spoon should face the outer side to ladle out the soup, and then put it into the mouth. Don’t make any sound while drinking the soup.
When eating western-style food, the bones and thorns should not be put into the mouth when you meet the dishes which have them. The food which already eaten into the mouth cannot be spit out. So you should know the food you eat when eating western-style food. For the food which you are not so sure or the food which you don’t like, then you’d better not put them into your mouth.
When eating western-style food, if you leave the table without finishing the dinner, you should put the knife and fork crossed beside the plate, let the edge of the knife faces inside. If you have finished your meal, you should put the knife and fork side by side to show that the plate can be removed.
24. The reason why more and more western-style food is served in hotels might be that________.
A. western-style food is less expensive
B. western-style food looks fine
C. an increasing number of foreigners come to China lately
D. eating western-style food is so cool
25. When you want to talk or drink, you’d better________first.
A. say “excuse me” B. put up your hand
C. stand up D. wipe your lips
26. When the soup and the dishes are served, you should________.
A. eat the dishes first and then drink the soup
B. drink the soup before eating the dishes
C. eat the dishes while drinking the soup
D. drink the soup and eat the dishes at the same time
27. Seeing the knife and fork crossed beside the plate, the waiter________.
A. won’t remove the plate B. will remove the plate
C. will ask you if you’ve finished your meal D. doesn’t know what to do
C
Becca was 6 when she was told she had cancer on Sept. 8, 2014. She clearly remembers the bad days of her 26 months of non-stop treatment. Luckily, Becca celebrated her final treatment on Nov. 13, 2016, and she has been cancer-free ever since. But she was thinking about what her life was like while experiencing the treatment.
I was never able to do much, and that’s what the kids lying in their hospital beds right now experience, asking their mom and dad, “When are we leaving? When can I play with my friends?” So I decided I have to help them.
In February, 2017, Becca came up with the idea for Knots and Arrows, a company that makes bracelets (手镯) out of swimsuit materials (泳衣布料). Part of the money made from each bracelet goes to the organizations that help people with cancer.
Becca created the company with her father, Gerhard Salmins. Gerhard Salmins once had cancer and already recovered from it. “I would be in the hospital sitting there crying and then my dad would come in and he would play games with me,” she said. “It made me forget about what I was going through.” Becca said the name of the organization shows the motto (座右铭) she stuck to through her personal cancer journey.
Her organization has already given thousands of dollars to research organizations and families in need. Becca said she hoped her bracelets would make people remember that great things can result from small changes. “No matter what age you are, what you look like, and how you act, you can make a difference!” she said.
28. What happened to Becca at the end of 2016?
A. She recovered from cancer. B. She created an organization.
C. She raised a lot of money. D. She was helped by a company.
29. What do we know about Becca’s father?
A. He showed Becca a famous motto. B. He fought off cancer successfully.
C. He advised Becca to forget her pain. D. He named the company Knots and Arrows.
30. Which of the following words can best describe Becca?
A. Brave. B. Creative. C. Caring. D. Clever.
31. In Becca’s opinion, what’s the meaning of her bracelets?
A. To tell us having a motto is important.
B. To prove cancer can be got over successfully.
C. To show there’s always someone who needs help.
D. To make us realize everyone can make a difference.

If you walked by James Fasulo’s bedroom, in Queens, New York, you might hear the 8-year-old talking. You might think he was speaking with a friend, or with his 4-year-old sister, Anna. More likely, James would be talking to his smart speaker, an Echo Dot. “I use it daily,” he says.
James often asks his Dot to tell jokes, report the time and temperature, and play music. And his sister? “She asks it to play songs from Frozen,” he says.
As of December 2017, there were about 67 million smart speakers in households in the United States, according to a study by National Public Radio and Edison Research. A year later, that number had jumped to nearly 119 million. That’s a 78% increase.
“Families are very interested in trying these products,” says Caroline Knorr of Common Sense Media. Kids like James and Anna also love that they are fun.
Smart speakers include devices (设备) such as Google Home and Amazon Echo. Common Sense Media made a survey of more than 1, 000 parents with kids ages 2 to 8. The survey asked about how kids use smart speakers. It also asked about privacy.
Nearly half of the parents said their kids use the speakers, and half of those kids use them daily. Of parents who have, at some point, turned off a smart speaker’s microphone (麦克风), about one-third of them did it because they didn’t trust the device.
“A smart speaker might behave like a human in some of the ways it answers us,” says Florian Schaub, an assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Information. “But that’s really a company collecting data (数据) about you. Everything you say to a smart speaker is recorded by these companies.”
“Companies use the recordings in different ways,” Schaub says, “such as to personalize service or decide which ads to play.” If users don’t like this, he suggests they mute the speaker when it’s not in use and consider setting privacy controls.
James Fasulo says he doesn’t worry about privacy. But his mom, Nancy Ellwood, does. “Sometimes, the speaker flashes (闪现) its lights when we’re not talking directly to it, ” she says. “I wonder what it’s doing.”
32. What do we know about James Fasulo’s Echo Dot?
A. It can move around freely.
B. It can be controlled by voice.
C. It is mainly used to play music.
D. It is shaped like a human being.
33. What did the survey by Common Sense Media find out?
A. Smart speakers are less helpful for kids.
B. Google Home is smarter than Amazon Echo.
C. Some users have less trust in smart speakers.
D. Smart speaker users have rapidly increased in number.
34. What does the underlined word “mute” in Paragraph 8 probably mean?
A. Fix up. B. Talk to.
C. Turn off. D. Research into.
35. Who cares more about privacy?
A. Anna Fasulo. B. James Fasulo.
C. Caroline Knorr. D. Nancy Ellwood.

One morning, Mr. Thompson, their favorite teacher, was introducing volunteer work. Leo suddenly caught sight of the hill behind the schoolyard and was instantly inspired with the idea of climbing to the top.
“Lily,” whispered Leo. “Wouldn’t it be amazing if we climbed to the top of that hill today? It’s said to hold breathtaking views of our lovely village.” Hearing that, Lily’s face lit up with excitement, her heart filled with eagerness. “Oh, Leo, that sounds fantastic!”.
With determination in their hearts, the twins worked out a plan. As they walked along the path, they noticed colorful trash scattered about, which ruined the natural beauty surrounding them.
A brilliant idea flashed into Lily’s mind. “Why don’t we pick up the litter along the way? We could clean up our beloved countryside.”
Excited by the idea, the twins eagerly collected the scattered items. As they reached the foot of the hill, their bags heavy with the collected waste, they came across a recycling center. With excitement, they exchanged their findings for shiny coins. With newfound treasures in their pockets, they climbed up the hill.
When they reached the top, they were greeted by a breathtaking view of Greenfield. “It’s so beautiful!” Leo burst out. “We must share our adventure with Mr. Thompson and our classmates!”

【详解】In the middle of Lulu Land there were two best friends, a rabbit named Rusty and a mouse named Toby. Rusty always rushed but Toby liked to take it easy. One day Rusty came over to Toby’s house and said “Hey, Toby, let’s have a big picnic by the pond.” Toby was enjoying the sunshine and he said, “Sure, Rusty, but let’s not hurry. The journey is just as important as the picnic.” Rusty didn’t mind Toby’s slow style. Toby started planning the picnic with excitement. He invited all their friends, birds, butterflies and even the wise owl. On the picnic day, Rusty moved around quickly, placing the blanket and food. Toby carefully arranged the flowers, freshly picked by Rusty, and washed each plate until it shone, making sure everything was perfect. When their friends arrived, Rusty couldn’t wait to start eating. “Let’s dig in,” he shouted, grabbing sandwiches. Toby smiled at Rusty and said, “Remember, it’s not just about eating fast. Enjoy each bite and our friends’ company.” The day was full of fun. Rusty played games while Toby told stories. As the sun set, Rusty looked at Toby and said, “You were right, Toby. The journey was just as fun as the picnic.” And so, in Lulu Land Rusty and Toby kept learning from each other and finding joy in both speed and slowness.

In recent years, the number of foreign guests increased rapidly. More and more hotels have western-style food services. At the same time, more and more Chinese people have accustomed to the hobby of eating western-style food.
When eating western-style food, you can talk with others freely and lightly. But, when you talk with others, don’t chew the food in your mouth. Generally speaking, clean your lips with napkins before talking or drinking.
When eating western-style food, you cannot hold the plate when eating; and you cannot stab the food while eating a large piece of food. You should cut the food into small pieces and then put them into your mouth.
When eating western-style food, the way of eating is similar to the way of eating Cantonese food. That is — drink soup first and then eat the dishes. When drinking the soup, hold the spoon with right hand, and the spoon should face the outer side to ladle out the soup, and then put it into the mouth. Don’t make any sound while drinking the soup.
When eating western-style food, the bones and thorns should not be put into the mouth when you meet the dishes which have them. The food which already eaten into the mouth cannot be spit out. So you should know the food you eat when eating western-style food. For the food which you are not so sure or the food which you don’t like, then you’d better not put them into your mouth.
When eating western-style food, if you leave the table without finishing the dinner, you should put the knife and fork crossed beside the plate, let the edge of the knife faces inside. If you have finished your meal, you should put the knife and fork side by side to show that the plate can be removed.
24. The reason why more and more western-style food is served in hotels might be that________.
A. western-style food is less expensive
B. western-style food looks fine
C. an increasing number of foreigners come to China lately
D. eating western-style food is so cool
25. When you want to talk or drink, you’d better________first.
A. say “excuse me” B. put up your hand
C. stand up D. wipe your lips
26. When the soup and the dishes are served, you should________.
A. eat the dishes first and then drink the soup
B. drink the soup before eating the dishes
C. eat the dishes while drinking the soup
D. drink the soup and eat the dishes at the same time
27. Seeing the knife and fork crossed beside the plate, the waiter________.
A. won’t remove the plate B. will remove the plate
C. will ask you if you’ve finished your meal D. doesn’t know what to do
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了随着外宾增多,越来越多的中国人已经习惯了吃西餐,告诉我们如何吃西餐以及注意事项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段首句“In recent years, the number of foreign guests increased rapidly. More and more hotels have western-style food services.”(近年来,外宾人数迅速增加。越来越多的宾馆提供西餐服务。)可知,宾馆里越来越多地提供西餐的原因可能是近来来中国的外国人越来越多。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句“Generally speaking, clean your lips with napkins before talking or drinking.”(一般来说,说话或喝酒前,要用餐巾清洁嘴唇。)可知,当你想说话或喝酒时,你最好首先擦嘴。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“That is — drink soup first and then eat the dishes.”(即先喝汤,后吃菜。)可知,当汤和菜被送达时,你应该先喝汤再吃菜。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“When eating western-style food, if you leave the table without finishing the dinner, you should put the knife and fork crossed beside the plate, let the edge of the knife faces inside. If you have finished your meal, you should put the knife and fork side by side to show that the plate can be removed.”(吃西餐时,如果未吃完就离开餐桌,应将刀叉交叉放在盘子旁边,让刀口朝内。如果你已经吃完饭,你应该把刀叉并排放在一起,表明盘子可以被拿走。)可推断,题中只提到刀叉交叉放在盘子旁边,并不能让服务员知道你是否吃完,所以服务员会问你是否已吃完。故选C项。

Becca was 6 when she was told she had cancer on Sept. 8, 2014. She clearly remembers the bad days of her 26 months of non-stop treatment. Luckily, Becca celebrated her final treatment on Nov. 13, 2016, and she has been cancer-free ever since. But she was thinking about what her life was like while experiencing the treatment.
I was never able to do much, and that’s what the kids lying in their hospital beds right now experience, asking their mom and dad, “When are we leaving? When can I play with my friends?” So I decided I have to help them.
In February, 2017, Becca came up with the idea for Knots and Arrows, a company that makes bracelets (手镯) out of swimsuit materials (泳衣布料). Part of the money made from each bracelet goes to the organizations that help people with cancer.
Becca created the company with her father, Gerhard Salmins. Gerhard Salmins once had cancer and already recovered from it. “I would be in the hospital sitting there crying and then my dad would come in and he would play games with me,” she said. “It made me forget about what I was going through.” Becca said the name of the organization shows the motto (座右铭) she stuck to through her personal cancer journey.
Her organization has already given thousands of dollars to research organizations and families in need. Becca said she hoped her bracelets would make people remember that great things can result from small changes. “No matter what age you are, what you look like, and how you act, you can make a difference!” she said.
28. What happened to Becca at the end of 2016?
A. She recovered from cancer. B. She created an organization.
C. She raised a lot of money. D. She was helped by a company.
29. What do we know about Becca’s father?
A. He showed Becca a famous motto. B. He fought off cancer successfully.
C. He advised Becca to forget her pain. D. He named the company Knots and Arrows.
30. Which of the following words can best describe Becca?
A. Brave. B. Creative. C. Caring. D. Clever.
31. In Becca’s opinion, what’s the meaning of her bracelets?
A. To tell us having a motto is important.
B. To prove cancer can be got over successfully.
C. To show there’s always someone who needs help.
D. To make us realize everyone can make a difference.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了Becca战胜癌症后,创办Knots and Arrows公司制作手镯,为癌症患者和家庭提供帮助的故事。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Luckily, Becca celebrated her final treatment on Nov. 13, 2016, and she has been cancer-free ever since. (幸运的是,Becca在2016年11月13日庆祝了她的最后一次治疗,从那以后她再也没有癌症了)”可知,2016年底Becca从癌症中康复了。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Becca created the company with her father, Gerhard Salmins. Gerhard Salmins once had cancer and already recovered from it. (Becca和她的父亲Gerhard Salmins一起创办了这家公司。Gerhard Salmins曾患过癌症,并且已经康复了)”可知,Becca的父亲成功战胜了癌症。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In February, 2017, Becca came up with the idea for Knots and Arrows, a company that makes bracelets (手镯) out of swimsuit materials (泳衣布料). Part of the money made from each bracelet goes to the organizations that help people with cancer.(2017年2月,Becca想出了Knots and Arrows的主意,这是一家用泳衣布料制作手镯的公司。每只手镯收入的一部分都会捐给帮助癌症患者的组织)”和第五段中“Her organization has already given thousands of dollars to research organizations and families in need. (她的组织已经向研究机构和有需要的家庭捐赠了数千美元)”可知,Becca在战胜癌症后,没有只关注自己,而是创办公司帮助其他癌症患者,这体现了她关心他人、富有爱心的品质。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Becca said she hoped her bracelets would make people remember that great things can result from small changes. “No matter what age you are, what you look like, and how you act, you can make a difference!” (Becca说她希望她的手镯能让人们记住,伟大的成就可以源于微小的改变。“无论你年龄多大,长相如何,行为怎样,你都可以有所作为!”)”可知,Becca认为她的手镯的意义是让人们意识到每个人都能有所作为。

If you walked by James Fasulo’s bedroom, in Queens, New York, you might hear the 8-year-old talking. You might think he was speaking with a friend, or with his 4-year-old sister, Anna. More likely, James would be talking to his smart speaker, an Echo Dot. “I use it daily,” he says.
James often asks his Dot to tell jokes, report the time and temperature, and play music. And his sister? “She asks it to play songs from Frozen,” he says.
As of December 2017, there were about 67 million smart speakers in households in the United States, according to a study by National Public Radio and Edison Research. A year later, that number had jumped to nearly 119 million. That’s a 78% increase.
“Families are very interested in trying these products,” says Caroline Knorr of Common Sense Media. Kids like James and Anna also love that they are fun.
Smart speakers include devices (设备) such as Google Home and Amazon Echo. Common Sense Media made a survey of more than 1, 000 parents with kids ages 2 to 8. The survey asked about how kids use smart speakers. It also asked about privacy.
Nearly half of the parents said their kids use the speakers, and half of those kids use them daily. Of parents who have, at some point, turned off a smart speaker’s microphone (麦克风), about one-third of them did it because they didn’t trust the device.
“A smart speaker might behave like a human in some of the ways it answers us,” says Florian Schaub, an assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Information. “But that’s really a company collecting data (数据) about you. Everything you say to a smart speaker is recorded by these companies.”
“Companies use the recordings in different ways,” Schaub says, “such as to personalize service or decide which ads to play.” If users don’t like this, he suggests they mute the speaker when it’s not in use and consider setting privacy controls.
James Fasulo says he doesn’t worry about privacy. But his mom, Nancy Ellwood, does. “Sometimes, the speaker flashes (闪现) its lights when we’re not talking directly to it, ” she says. “I wonder what it’s doing.”
32. What do we know about James Fasulo’s Echo Dot?
A. It can move around freely.
B. It can be controlled by voice.
C. It is mainly used to play music.
D. It is shaped like a human being.
33. What did the survey by Common Sense Media find out?
A. Smart speakers are less helpful for kids.
B. Google Home is smarter than Amazon Echo.
C. Some users have less trust in smart speakers.
D. Smart speaker users have rapidly increased in number.
34. What does the underlined word “mute” in Paragraph 8 probably mean?
A. Fix up. B. Talk to.
C. Turn off. D. Research into.
35. Who cares more about privacy?
A. Anna Fasulo. B. James Fasulo.
C. Caroline Knorr. D. Nancy Ellwood.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。随着越来越多的人使用智能语音设备,人们也更加关注个人隐私安全问题。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“More likely, James would be talking to his smart speaker, an Echo Dot. (更有可能的是,詹姆斯会对着他的智能扬声器Echo Dot说话)”和第二段中的“James often asks his Dot to tell jokes, report the time and temperature, and play music. (詹姆斯经常让他的Dot讲笑话,报告时间和温度,播放音乐)”以及倒数第三段中的“Everything you say to a smart speaker is recorded by these companies. (你对智能音箱说的话都会被这些公司录下来)”可知,Echo Dot是一款可通过语音控制的智能语音设备。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第四段中的“Of parents who have, at some point, turned off a smart speaker’s microphone (麦克风), about one-third of them did it because they didn’t trust the device. (在某些时候关掉智能扬声器麦克风的家长中,大约有三分之一是因为他们不信任这个设备)”可知,该项调查发现,使用者有时会关掉智能语音设备的麦克风,因为有部分家长在隐私方面并不信任智能语音设备。故选C。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章倒数第三段来自密歇根大学信息学院的教授Schaub解释的“Everything you say to a smart speaker is recorded by these companies.(你对智能音箱说的话都会被这些公司录下来)”以及该划线词后的“when it’s not in use(当它不使用时)”和“consider setting privacy controls(考虑设置隐私控制)”可知,智能语音设备会记录你所说的话,因此Schaub建议用户在不使用智能语音设备的时候,可将其关闭,并考虑设置隐私控制装置。由此推知,mute意为“关闭”。故选C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“James Fasulo says he doesn’t worry about privacy. But his mom, Nancy Ellwood, does. (James Fasulo表示,他并不担心隐私问题。但他的妈妈Nancy Ellwood知道)”可知,James Fasulo的妈妈Nancy Ellwood更加关注隐私问题。故选D。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。朋友在每个人的生活中都扮演着非常重要的角色。文章主要介绍了朋友的重要性以及如何辨别真朋友和假朋友。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意:友谊通常在童年时期发展。此处修饰动词develops应用副词usually,作状语。故填usually。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:你在学生时代结交的朋友友谊会持续很长时间。空处引导定语从句修饰先行词friends,先行词在从句中作宾语,指人,故应用关系代词that/who引导。故填that/who。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一个耳熟能详的观点是“你可以通过了解一个人的朋友来了解他的很多情况”。分析句子结构可知know在句中应用非谓语动词形式,且by是介词,后跟动名词作宾语。故填knowing。
【59题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:友谊是以共同的兴趣为基础的。此处陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时,且主语Friendship与谓语动词构成被动关系,故用一般现在时的被动语态。主语为单数名词,谓语动词应用单数。故填is based。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:如果你喜欢运动,你的大多数朋友可能会很活跃。此处if引导的条件状语从句为一般现在时,故主句应用一般将来时。故填will be。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:如果你喜欢阅读和购物,你的大多数朋友也会做同样的事。结合句意表示“同样”短语为the same。故填the。
【62题详解】
考查it作形式主语。句意:如果你很富有,就很容易有很多所谓的“朋友”。此处为“it be adj+to do sth.”句型,it作形式主语,不定式为真正主语。句首单词首字母要大写。故填It。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:有时他们可能不容易找到,所以如果你有一个真正的朋友,你可以认为自己很幸运。此处为“be adj+ to do”结构,表示“做某事容易”短语为be easy to do sth.。故填to find。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意:有时他们可能不容易找到,所以如果你有一个真正的朋友,你可以认为自己很幸运。此处为“consider+宾语+宾补”结构,结合句意“幸运的”可知应用形容词fortunate作宾补。故填fortunate。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:真正的朋友会支持你,给你很多鼓励,站在你这边,建立你的信心。此处应用名词encouragement作give的宾语,且encouragement是不可数名词。故填encouragement。

In the peaceful village of Greenfield, surrounded with rolling hills, lived two curious and adventurous twins, Lily and Leo. At the age of eleven, the inseparable twins were always seeking new and exciting adventures.
One morning, Mr. Thompson, their favorite teacher, was introducing volunteer work. Leo suddenly caught sight of the hill behind the schoolyard and was instantly inspired with the idea of climbing to the top.
“Lily,” whispered Leo. “Wouldn’t it be amazing if we climbed to the top of that hill today? It’s said to hold breathtaking views of our lovely village.” Hearing that, Lily’s face lit up with excitement, her heart filled with eagerness. “Oh, Leo, that sounds fantastic!”.
With determination in their hearts, the twins worked out a plan. As they walked along the path, they noticed colorful trash scattered about, which ruined the natural beauty surrounding them.
A brilliant idea flashed into Lily’s mind. “Why don’t we pick up the litter along the way? We could clean up our beloved countryside.”
Excited by the idea, the twins eagerly collected the scattered items. As they reached the foot of the hill, their bags heavy with the collected waste, they came across a recycling center. With excitement, they exchanged their findings for shiny coins. With newfound treasures in their pockets, they climbed up the hill.
When they reached the top, they were greeted by a breathtaking view of Greenfield. “It’s so beautiful!” Leo burst out. “We must share our adventure with Mr. Thompson and our classmates!”

Mr. Thompson gathered the class together and asked mysteriously, “Would you like to experience an adventure and at the same time bring cleanliness to the village as a volunteer?” Each student was excited with wide eyes, hands raising high, shouting, “Me! Me!”
Paragraph 2:
The following weekend, the entire class started to clean up their lovely village. They happily ran up the hill with bags of garbage in their hands and competed to see whose bag could be full first. As they worked, Mr. Thompson kept reminding the students to be safe, ensuring everyone was careful while they cleaned. Soon, they were back down the hill, dragging their bags full of trash. Mr. Thompson smiled proudly and praised them, “You are not only little adventurers but also little guardians of the environment! Your efforts make a big difference in keeping our village beautiful and clean.”
