Little did I know what I was getting myself into. I quickly began adding friends, sharing pictures and updating my status. At first, I loved chatting and seeing into other people's lives. However, I soon saw a darker side to the online world. I posted a video of my cousin and I dancing to music, which received some mean comments from some of my classmates. This kind of thing happened a few times, even though the girls involved were still nice to me in person, and IT wasn't just people I knew who were unkind online. After sharing my thoughts on a hobby group, I received some terrible private messages from a total stranger. These experiences really affected my confidence for a while. Then I realized that social media can help us understand the world, but IT can also do us harm. I decided to focus on my real life friendships and deleted my account. Now i'm older, i'm planning to go back on social media. However, this time i'll be strict with what I share and with the behavior I accept from others.

Researchers at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have identified a biological process that may explain why exercise sharpens thinking and memory. Their findings suggest that physical activity strengthens the brain’s built-in defense system, helping protect it from age-related damage.
As people grow older, the blood-brain barrier becomes weaker. This tightly packed network of blood vessels normally protects the brain from harmful substances circulating in the bloodstream. Over time, however, it can become leaky, allowing damaging substances to enter brain tissue. The result is inflammation, which is linked to a decline in mental abilities and is commonly seen in disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Several years ago, a research team from UCSF discovered that exercising mice produced higher levels of an enzyme (酶) called GPLD1 in their livers (肝脏). GPLD1 appeared to refresh the brain, but there was a mystery. The enzyme itself cannot cross into the brain, leaving scientists unsure how it delivers its cognitive benefits. The new research provides an answer.
The scientists found that GPLD1 influences another protein known as TNAP. As mice age, TNAP builds up in the cells that form the blood-brain barrier. This buildup weakens the barrier and increases leakiness. When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells, helping restore the barrier’s health.
To ascertain how GPLD1 functions, the team focused on the strengths of this enzyme. GPLD1 cuts specific proteins from the surface of cells. Researchers searched for tissues containing proteins that could serve as targets and suspected that some of these proteins might accumulate with age. Cells in the blood-brain barrier stood out because they carried several possible GPLD1 targets. When the scientists tested these proteins in the laboratory, only TNAP was cut by GPLD1.
24. What is the function of the blood-brain barrier?
A. Keeping brain healthy. B. Protecting blood flow.
C. Identifying brain disorders. D. Preventing cognitive decline.
25. What puzzled the scientists about GPLD1 initially?
A. What it was responsible for.
B. Whether its levels decreased with aging.
C. Why exercising produced more GPLD1.
D. How it managed to benefit the brain.
26. What effect does GPLD1 have on TNAP according to the new research?
A. It changes the structure of TNAP.
B. It prevents TNAP from building up.
C. It increases the production of TNAP.
D. It makes TNAP more active in cells.
27. What does the underlined word “ascertain” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Complain. B. Admit. C. Determine. D. Declare.

Bertha Ngumbi, my mother, is one of the kindest women I know. However, when I was a child growing up in Kenya with my four siblings (兄弟姐妹), her kindness often annoyed us. Whenever visitors came to our home, whether relatives or strangers, expected or not, my mother would ask us to prepare and serve them black tea. If visitors arrived during lunch or dinner, she would invite them to eat with us, which meant less food for the family. As children, we felt unhappy and sometimes even complained about it.
My sister Faith especially disliked those moments when we had little firewood or when the wood was wet from rain, because making tea became difficult. My sisters and I even believed that some people took advantage of our mother’s generosity by appearing at mealtime.
Years later, after moving to the United States to live and teach, I began to see things differently. My mother’s kindness had deeply influenced me. Even when I struggled myself, I still tried to help relatives, friends, and even strangers. If unexpected visitors came to my house one day, I would warmly offer them tea and food, just as my mother always did.
Wanting to understand the source of her kindness, I asked my mother about it. She explained that she had learned it from her own mother, my grandmother. Growing up in a large family with eight siblings, my mother often returned home from school to discover that some of their lunch had been given away to hungry travelers. Although the children were upset at times, their mother continued helping others whenever she could.
When I asked my mother whether she would have changed if she had known we disliked her generosity, she answered firmly that she would never stop helping people. Today, I fully understand her actions and remain deeply grateful for the compassion (同情) she planted in me.
28. Why did the author dislike unexpected visitors when she was young?
A. They interrupted family activities.
B. They always asked for more black tea.
C. Her family had to share meals with them.
D. Her siblings needed to serve them food first.
29. What did the author do after moving to the US?
A. She avoided bothering others.
B. She lived a poor life for a long time.
C. She was friendly towards others.
D. She kept complaining about her mother.
30. Why did the author ask her mother about her kindness?
A. To understand its origin.
B. To memorize her childhood.
C. To change her mother’s mind.
D. To express her gratitude.
31. How did the author’s attitude to her mother’s kindness change over time?
A. From seeing it as a shame to a road map.
B. From not understanding it to valuing it.
C. From supporting it to complaining about it.
D. From taking it lightly to viewing it as a trouble.

In the seaside town of Scarborough, many young people face a difficult choice: set off for more opportunities or remain in a place they truly love. For Keane, a 19-year-old with the dream of becoming an actor, the answer is not simple.
Like many of his peers (同龄人), Keane grew up in a place where opportunities seem limited. Poor transport links and a lack of resources make it hard for young people to pursue higher education or creative careers. Many choose practical paths, taking apprenticeships (学徒工作) or local jobs to earn money as soon as possible. For a time, Keane nearly followed the same route.
Yet something held him back. Instead of leaving immediately, he chose to stay and explore his love for drama. After joining a local theater’s youth program, he began to develop his skills while working part-time to support himself. It was not an easy path. Surrounded by doubts and facing financial pressure, he had to prove that his dream was worth the risk.
Despite all hardships, Keane has not turned his back on Scarborough. To him, the town is more than a place with limited opportunities; it is also his spiritual home and source of inner strength. As he puts it, if he ever leaves someday, only part of him will depart; his heart will always belong here.
Finally, Keane achieved success. His play, Feral, tells the story of a young man torn between leaving for a better future and staying in the place he calls home. Through this work, Keane gave voice to a feeling shared by many young people — a desire to move forward without forgetting their origins. The play won awards, showing that even stories from small towns can reach wider audiences.
His story shows that success does not always mean leaving. Sometimes, it means staying, growing, and proving that even in a small town, dreams can take root and grow strong.
32. What troubles many young people in Scarborough?
A. They are unable to get along with peers.
B. They find it hard to balance work and study.
C. They are at a loss whether to leave their hometown.
D. They lack support from their local theater communities.
33. Why did Keane choose to stay in his hometown?
A. He had no courage to leave.
B. He preferred a stable life.
C. He needed to provide for his family.
D. He desired to pursue his passion locally.
34. What does Feral mainly reflect?
A. The challenges of life in small towns.
B. The pressure of artistic success-seeking.
C. The struggle between dream and reality.
D. The conflict between leaving and belonging.
35. Which of the following words can best describe Keane?
A. Ambitious and determined. B. Cautious and realistic.
C. Independent and talented. D. Adaptable and sensitive.

Empathy (共情), the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, is often described as the foundation of meaningful communication. ____36____ Empathy requires stepping into another’s shoes, recognizing their emotions, and responding in a way that accepts their experience. This difference matters because empathy strengthens connection, while sympathy can sometimes create distance.
A parent who acknowledges a child’s frustration (I see you’re upset because your toy broke) rather than dismiss it (It’s just a toy) helps the child feel heard, enhancing trust. Similarly, in friendships, empathizing with a friend’s anxiety about a test (That sounds really stressful) builds deeper bonds than offering quick solutions (You’ll do fine). ____37____
____38____ Managers who practice empathetic communication are better at motivating teams. For example, instead of simply assigning a tight deadline, a manager might say, “I know this project will require extra hours and I appreciate how hard you’ve been working — let’s discuss how we can support each other to get it done.” ____39____ Colleagues who empathize with one another’s workloads are also more likely to offer help, creating a supportive workplace culture.
Empathy starts with active listening — paying attention to both words and nonverbal cues. It also involves asking open-ended questions (How did that make you feel?) to encourage others to share more, rather than jumping to conclusions. ____40____ In a world often divided by differing opinions, it offers a bridge — reminding us that behind every argument, every frustration, every joy, there is a human experience worth understanding.
A. In professional settings, empathy is of equal importance.
B. This approach reduces dissatisfaction and encourages cooperation.
C. It goes beyond sympathy, which involves feeling sorry for someone.
D. Over time, these habits become second nature, making bonds stronger.
E. By contrast, sympathy encourages people to solve others’ problems directly.
F. These moments of recognition let others know they are not alone in their feelings.
G. Without enough practice, even the strongest empathy skills will gradually disappear.

Jimmy and Bob had a lot in common. They studied in the same class and lived in the same community, just a few houses apart. Both were top students in their class, winning praise from teachers and parents. Yet there was a sense of rivalry deep in both of their hearts. They both secretly wanted to be the best, rather than just one of the best.
One day, their teacher announced a special charity sale all students could participate in to raise money by selling homemade things. All the money from the sale would be donated to the children in a partnered special school, and the student who raised the most money would get the honor to name the activity.
Jimmy and Bob immediately decided to join separately: Jimmy planned to sell his paintings, while Bob prepared to sell candies following a family recipe with a delicious taste.
When the big day arrived, the school playground buzzed with energy: colorful ribbons and balloons everywhere, stalls (摊位) neatly arranged across the field. A few stalls away, Jimmy saw Bob’s plain-looking candies and his empty cash box. He even felt kind of happy, thinking he could beat him this time. But things didn’t go as expected. Jimmy’s cash box was no better, with only one or two coins inside. Feeling upset, he accidentally heard two students talking nearby. “Good paintings, but I prefer something practical with my only pocket money,” one student said. Their words hitting Jimmy like a lightning bolt, he suddenly had an idea.
At lunch break, Jimmy went to Bob. “Bob, I have an idea,” he said seriously. “I once tasted your candies. Although they’re not eye-catching, the tastes are amazing. My paintings are beautiful but not practical to students in our school. What if we work together? We can split the money equally, and if we win, we can name the activity together — if permitted.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

Bob studied Jimmy in surprise, his eyes lighting up a little.

I posted a video of my cousin and I dancing to music, which received some mean comments from some of my classmates. This kind of thing happened a few times, even though the girls involved were still nice to me in person. And it wasn’t just people I knew who were unkind online. After sharing my thoughts on a hobby group, I received some terrible private messages from a total stranger! These experiences really affected my confidence for a while.

Now I’m older, I’m planning to go back on social media. However, this time I’ll be stricter with what I share, and with the behavior I accept from others.

The boys here have worked hard in order to be a part of this ceremony. Recognition of achievement can make us push ourselves and reach our full potential. The prize winners are a true representation of everything that we value here at Hampton School. I have every confidence that you young men will be precisely the kind of young people who will make a positive difference to the country and the world. Your success will be built on being true to yourself. You should recognize your problems and doubts as well as your positive qualities. I remember listening to an interview with Andy Murray, one of the top tennis players in the world. After he was defeated in the first round of a tournament by a much lower-ranked player, the media went crazy. However, Murray was straightforward and wise. “Nobody died here,” he said, “I only lost a tennis match, nothing more.” We are proud of our prizewinners today. They should be proud of themselves. But let’s be clear, if you link motivation to winning prizes in life, you set yourself up for disappointment. The greatest prize of all is that you can look yourself in the eye and say, “I tried.”

Researchers at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have identified a biological process that may explain why exercise sharpens thinking and memory. Their findings suggest that physical activity strengthens the brain’s built-in defense system, helping protect it from age-related damage.
As people grow older, the blood-brain barrier becomes weaker. This tightly packed network of blood vessels normally protects the brain from harmful substances circulating in the bloodstream. Over time, however, it can become leaky, allowing damaging substances to enter brain tissue. The result is inflammation, which is linked to a decline in mental abilities and is commonly seen in disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Several years ago, a research team from UCSF discovered that exercising mice produced higher levels of an enzyme (酶) called GPLD1 in their livers (肝脏). GPLD1 appeared to refresh the brain, but there was a mystery. The enzyme itself cannot cross into the brain, leaving scientists unsure how it delivers its cognitive benefits. The new research provides an answer.
The scientists found that GPLD1 influences another protein known as TNAP. As mice age, TNAP builds up in the cells that form the blood-brain barrier. This buildup weakens the barrier and increases leakiness. When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells, helping restore the barrier’s health.
To ascertain how GPLD1 functions, the team focused on the strengths of this enzyme. GPLD1 cuts specific proteins from the surface of cells. Researchers searched for tissues containing proteins that could serve as targets and suspected that some of these proteins might accumulate with age. Cells in the blood-brain barrier stood out because they carried several possible GPLD1 targets. When the scientists tested these proteins in the laboratory, only TNAP was cut by GPLD1.
24. What is the function of the blood-brain barrier?
A. Keeping brain healthy. B. Protecting blood flow.
C. Identifying brain disorders. D. Preventing cognitive decline.
25. What puzzled the scientists about GPLD1 initially?
A. What it was responsible for.
B. Whether its levels decreased with aging.
C. Why exercising produced more GPLD1.
D. How it managed to benefit the brain.
26. What effect does GPLD1 have on TNAP according to the new research?
A. It changes the structure of TNAP.
B. It prevents TNAP from building up.
C. It increases the production of TNAP.
D. It makes TNAP more active in cells.
27. What does the underlined word “ascertain” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Complain. B. Admit. C. Determine. D. Declare.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了运动通过肝脏酶GPLD1修复血脑屏障,从而增强认知功能的生物学机制。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“This tightly packed network of blood vessels normally protects the brain from harmful substances circulating in the bloodstream.(这个紧密连接的血管网络通常保护大脑免受血液中循环的有害物质侵害。)”可知,血脑屏障的功能是保护大脑健康。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“GPLD1 appeared to refresh the brain, but there was a mystery. The enzyme itself cannot cross into the brain, leaving scientists unsure how it delivers its cognitive benefits.(GPLD1似乎能让大脑恢复活力,但存在一个谜团。这种酶本身无法进入大脑,这让科学家不确定它是如何带来认知益处的。)”可知,科学家最初困惑的是GPLD1如何在无法进入大脑的情况下使大脑受益。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells, helping restore the barrier’s health.(当小鼠运动时,肝脏会将GPLD1释放到血液中。这种酶到达大脑周围的血管,并从这些细胞表面清除TNAP,帮助恢复屏障的健康。)”可知,GPLD1通过移除细胞表面的TNAP,防止其在血脑屏障细胞中积累。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“To ascertain how GPLD1 functions, the team focused on the strengths of this enzyme. GPLD1 cuts specific proteins from the surface of cells. Researchers searched for tissues containing proteins that could serve as targets and suspected that some of these proteins might accumulate with age. Cells in the blood-brain barrier stood out because they carried several possible GPLD1 targets. When the scientists tested these proteins in the laboratory, only TNAP was cut by GPLD1.(为ascertain GPLD1的作用原理,研究团队围绕该酶的特性展开研究:GPLD1能够切除细胞表面特定的蛋白质。研究人员寻找体内可作为作用靶点的组织蛋白,并推测其中部分蛋白会随年龄增长不断堆积。血脑屏障细胞尤为符合猜想,其表面存在多种潜在的GPLD1作用靶点。科研人员在实验室对这些蛋白进行检测后发现,仅有TNAP会被GPLD1分解。)”可知,为探明GPLD1的作用原理,研究团队围绕该酶的特性展开研究ascertain意为“查明,确定”。

Bertha Ngumbi, my mother, is one of the kindest women I know. However, when I was a child growing up in Kenya with my four siblings (兄弟姐妹), her kindness often annoyed us. Whenever visitors came to our home, whether relatives or strangers, expected or not, my mother would ask us to prepare and serve them black tea. If visitors arrived during lunch or dinner, she would invite them to eat with us, which meant less food for the family. As children, we felt unhappy and sometimes even complained about it.
My sister Faith especially disliked those moments when we had little firewood or when the wood was wet from rain, because making tea became difficult. My sisters and I even believed that some people took advantage of our mother’s generosity by appearing at mealtime.
Years later, after moving to the United States to live and teach, I began to see things differently. My mother’s kindness had deeply influenced me. Even when I struggled myself, I still tried to help relatives, friends, and even strangers. If unexpected visitors came to my house one day, I would warmly offer them tea and food, just as my mother always did.
Wanting to understand the source of her kindness, I asked my mother about it. She explained that she had learned it from her own mother, my grandmother. Growing up in a large family with eight siblings, my mother often returned home from school to discover that some of their lunch had been given away to hungry travelers. Although the children were upset at times, their mother continued helping others whenever she could.
When I asked my mother whether she would have changed if she had known we disliked her generosity, she answered firmly that she would never stop helping people. Today, I fully understand her actions and remain deeply grateful for the compassion (同情) she planted in me.
28. Why did the author dislike unexpected visitors when she was young?
A. They interrupted family activities.
B. They always asked for more black tea.
C. Her family had to share meals with them.
D. Her siblings needed to serve them food first.
29. What did the author do after moving to the US?
A. She avoided bothering others.
B. She lived a poor life for a long time.
C. She was friendly towards others.
D. She kept complaining about her mother.
30. Why did the author ask her mother about her kindness?
A. To understand its origin.
B. To memorize her childhood.
C. To change her mother’s mind.
D. To express her gratitude.
31. How did the author’s attitude to her mother’s kindness change over time?
A. From seeing it as a shame to a road map.
B. From not understanding it to valuing it.
C. From supporting it to complaining about it.
D. From taking it lightly to viewing it as a trouble.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了作者从儿时不理解母亲慷慨待客,到成年后受其影响并深深感激的心路历程。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“If visitors arrived during lunch or dinner, she would invite them to eat with us, which meant less food for the family.(如果访客在午餐或晚餐时间到来,她会邀请他们和我们一起吃饭,这意味着家里的食物会变少。)”可知,作者小时候不喜欢不速之客,是因为他们来了之后家人不得不和他们分享饭菜,导致自家食物减少。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Even when I struggled myself, I still tried to help relatives, friends, and even strangers. If unexpected visitors came to my house one day, I would warmly offer them tea and food, just as my mother always did.(即使我自己也很拮据,我仍然尽力帮助亲戚、朋友甚至陌生人。如果有一天不速之客来到我家,我会像母亲那样,热情地为他们端上茶和食物。)”可知,作者在移居美国后,待人友善,继承了母亲的慷慨。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段首句“Wanting to understand the source of her kindness, I asked my mother about it.(为了理解她善良的源头,我问了母亲相关问题。)”可知,作者询问母亲是为了了解她这种善意的来源。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“As children, we felt unhappy and sometimes even complained about it.(孩提时代,我们对此感到不开心,有时甚至会抱怨。)”以及最后一段中“Today, I fully understand her actions and remain deeply grateful for the compassion (同情) she planted in me.(如今,我完全理解了她的行为,并对她在我心中种下的慈悲之心深怀感激。)”可知,作者对母亲善意的态度经历了从童年时的不理解、抱怨,到成年后的理解、珍视的转变。

In the seaside town of Scarborough, many young people face a difficult choice: set off for more opportunities or remain in a place they truly love. For Keane, a 19-year-old with the dream of becoming an actor, the answer is not simple.
Like many of his peers (同龄人), Keane grew up in a place where opportunities seem limited. Poor transport links and a lack of resources make it hard for young people to pursue higher education or creative careers. Many choose practical paths, taking apprenticeships (学徒工作) or local jobs to earn money as soon as possible. For a time, Keane nearly followed the same route.
Yet something held him back. Instead of leaving immediately, he chose to stay and explore his love for drama. After joining a local theater’s youth program, he began to develop his skills while working part-time to support himself. It was not an easy path. Surrounded by doubts and facing financial pressure, he had to prove that his dream was worth the risk.
Despite all hardships, Keane has not turned his back on Scarborough. To him, the town is more than a place with limited opportunities; it is also his spiritual home and source of inner strength. As he puts it, if he ever leaves someday, only part of him will depart; his heart will always belong here.
Finally, Keane achieved success. His play, Feral, tells the story of a young man torn between leaving for a better future and staying in the place he calls home. Through this work, Keane gave voice to a feeling shared by many young people — a desire to move forward without forgetting their origins. The play won awards, showing that even stories from small towns can reach wider audiences.
His story shows that success does not always mean leaving. Sometimes, it means staying, growing, and proving that even in a small town, dreams can take root and grow strong.
32. What troubles many young people in Scarborough?
A. They are unable to get along with peers.
B. They find it hard to balance work and study.
C. They are at a loss whether to leave their hometown.
D. They lack support from their local theater communities.
33. Why did Keane choose to stay in his hometown?
A. He had no courage to leave.
B. He preferred a stable life.
C. He needed to provide for his family.
D. He desired to pursue his passion locally.
34. What does Feral mainly reflect?
A. The challenges of life in small towns.
B. The pressure of artistic success-seeking.
C. The struggle between dream and reality.
D. The conflict between leaving and belonging.
35. Which of the following words can best describe Keane?
A. Ambitious and determined. B. Cautious and realistic.
C. Independent and talented. D. Adaptable and sensitive.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. A

【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Surrounded by doubts and facing financial pressure, he had to prove that his dream was worth the risk.(身处质疑之中,面对经济压力,他不得不证明自己的梦想值得冒险)”及第五段中“The play won awards, showing that even stories from small towns can reach wider audiences.(该剧屡获大奖,证明即便是来自小镇的故事也能打动更广泛的观众)”可知,基恩既有远大志向又意志坚定。

Empathy (共情), the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, is often described as the foundation of meaningful communication. ____36____ Empathy requires stepping into another’s shoes, recognizing their emotions, and responding in a way that accepts their experience. This difference matters because empathy strengthens connection, while sympathy can sometimes create distance.
A parent who acknowledges a child’s frustration (I see you’re upset because your toy broke) rather than dismiss it (It’s just a toy) helps the child feel heard, enhancing trust. Similarly, in friendships, empathizing with a friend’s anxiety about a test (That sounds really stressful) builds deeper bonds than offering quick solutions (You’ll do fine). ____37____
____38____ Managers who practice empathetic communication are better at motivating teams. For example, instead of simply assigning a tight deadline, a manager might say, “I know this project will require extra hours and I appreciate how hard you’ve been working — let’s discuss how we can support each other to get it done.” ____39____ Colleagues who empathize with one another’s workloads are also more likely to offer help, creating a supportive workplace culture.
Empathy starts with active listening — paying attention to both words and nonverbal cues. It also involves asking open-ended questions (How did that make you feel?) to encourage others to share more, rather than jumping to conclusions. ____40____ In a world often divided by differing opinions, it offers a bridge — reminding us that behind every argument, every frustration, every joy, there is a human experience worth understanding.
A. In professional settings, empathy is of equal importance.
B. This approach reduces dissatisfaction and encourages cooperation.
C. It goes beyond sympathy, which involves feeling sorry for someone.
D. Over time, these habits become second nature, making bonds stronger.
E. By contrast, sympathy encourages people to solve others’ problems directly.
F. These moments of recognition let others know they are not alone in their feelings.
G. Without enough practice, even the strongest empathy skills will gradually disappear.
【答案】36. C 37. F 38. A 39. B 40. D
【解析】

六、读后续写(共1小题,共25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jimmy and Bob had a lot in common. They studied in the same class and lived in the same community, just a few houses apart. Both were top students in their class, winning praise from teachers and parents. Yet there was a sense of rivalry deep in both of their hearts. They both secretly wanted to be the best, rather than just one of the best.
One day, their teacher announced a special charity sale all students could participate in to raise money by selling homemade things. All the money from the sale would be donated to the children in a partnered special school, and the student who raised the most money would get the honor to name the activity.
Jimmy and Bob immediately decided to join separately: Jimmy planned to sell his paintings, while Bob prepared to sell candies following a family recipe with a delicious taste.
When the big day arrived, the school playground buzzed with energy: colorful ribbons and balloons everywhere, stalls (摊位) neatly arranged across the field. A few stalls away, Jimmy saw Bob’s plain-looking candies and his empty cash box. He even felt kind of happy, thinking he could beat him this time. But things didn’t go as expected. Jimmy’s cash box was no better, with only one or two coins inside. Feeling upset, he accidentally heard two students talking nearby. “Good paintings, but I prefer something practical with my only pocket money,” one student said. Their words hitting Jimmy like a lightning bolt, he suddenly had an idea.
At lunch break, Jimmy went to Bob. “Bob, I have an idea,” he said seriously. “I once tasted your candies. Although they’re not eye-catching, the tastes are amazing. My paintings are beautiful but not practical to students in our school. What if we work together? We can split the money equally, and if we win, we can name the activity together — if permitted.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Bob studied Jimmy in surprise, his eyes lighting up a little.

When the sale ended that day, Jimmy and Bob found their cash box was nearly full.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Bob studied Jimmy in surprise, his eyes lighting up a little. After a moment’s hesitation, he nodded enthusiastically. “That’s a great idea, Jimmy! I never thought we could combine our strengths like this.” He quickly gathered his candies while Jimmy packed up his paintings. Together, they set up a new stall where they offered a deal: with every purchase of candies, customers could get a small painting as a gift. The combination of delicious treats and beautiful artworks attracted many students who were eager to support the charity and get something special in return.
When the sale ended that day, Jimmy and Bob found their cash box was nearly full. They counted the money excitedly, realizing they had raised much more than either of them could have done alone. As they handed the money to their teacher, she praised their teamwork and creativity. “You two have shown that when we work together, we can achieve greater things,” she said. In the end, Jimmy and Bob were named the winners of the charity sale, and they happily named the activity “Art & Sweets for a Cause,” knowing that their friendship and cooperation had made a real difference.
