There are more than 100,000 lakes across the United States. Below are incredible lakes worth a summer visit.
Lake Tahoe, California-Nevada
North America’s largest alpine (高山的) lake floats at 6,222 feet above sea level in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Known as “Big Blue,” Lake Tahoe is renowned for its amazing water clarity. Tahoe provides visitors with numerous activities, including paddle-boarding and the annual Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival.
Lake Chelan, Washington
Lake Chelan fills a stunning glacier-carved valley in the Cascades Range of northern Washington. More than a dozen wine factories with tours and tasting rooms overlook the lake’s southern extreme. Many offer outdoor seating with lake views and live music in the summer, like the annual Lake Chelan Wine & Jazz Festival.
Lake Clark, Alaska
The coast is home to the park’s grizzlies (灰熊), which look great in photos, but the wider lake region sees plenty of other creatures, including caribou, Dall sheep, moose, wolves, and more than 100 species of birds. The only way to reach Lake Clark is by flying over some of Alaska’s most amazing landscapes, from Anchorage to Port Alsworth.
Lake Coeur d’Alene, Idaho
Located in the Idaho Panhandle, Lake Coeur d’Alene has been attracting visitors to its striking clear deep-blue waters. Whether you go solo or board a rental boat on the lake, fishing in the area is superb.

An agrihood is a simple concept: a working farm surrounded by single or multifamily housing. Like a garden in a big city, agrihoods promise to boost food security, reduce temperatures, capture rainwater, and increase biodiversity. As climate change intensifies heat, flooding, and pressure on food systems, agrihoods could be a way to make urban living more resilient — not just more beautiful.
“Developers have a hard time offering open space, because they would like to build more housing,” said Vincent Mudd, a partner at an architectural firm which designs agrihoods. “One of the few ways to bridge that gap is to be able to use active open space that actually generates commerce.”
The firm recently finished two of them in California — one in Santa Clara and another, called Fox Point Farms, in Encinitas. The former, south of San Francisco, features townhouses, market-rate units, and affordable housing, plus a community center and retail (零售) shops. The latter, north of San Diego, adds a farm-to-table restaurant, an event venue, and a grocery store, but its housing is primarily for sale instead of for rent.
They are two different housing programs for two different communities, but they were built around the sustainability of urban farming. While these projects are in relatively rich areas, Mudd said agrihoods could be built nearly anywhere — though it might require tweaks (微调) to zoning rules. “Almost every city has the ability to make that zoning change,” said Mudd, “because it keeps commerce, preserves jobs, generates sales tax income from retail, and provides mixed-income, attainable housing.”
Where it gets more complicated is the logistics (后勤) of the farm. Water is the big one: Ideally, a farm captures enough rainwater to keep crops hydrated. A rainwater-capture system, though, comes with an upfront cost that a community garden in a lower-income neighborhood might not be able to afford. If, one year, the rains stop and drought takes hold, it will have to pay for more water.
24. What can be inferred about agrihoods from paragraph 1?
A. They aim to replace traditional farming.
B. They solve the problem of food security.
C. They help cities deal with climate change.
D. They focus on the appearance of housing.
25. Why do agrihoods include commercial elements?
A. To reduce the need for city rules.
B. To provide free services to locals.
C. To stop the growth of family homes.
D. To make up for lost building space.
26. What does Mudd think of zoning changes?
A. It is rewarding. B. It is complicated.
C. It costs too much. D. It is a piece of cake.
27. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Agrihoods: A Challenge for Local Farmers
B. Agrihoods: A New Model for Urban Living
C. Agrihoods: The End of Traditional Housing
D. Agrihoods: The Solution to Water Shortages

Everyone knows what makes a good story. Our hero starts their journey as a flawed being. In scene after scene, they face challenges that push them down new paths. By the end of the talc, they overcome setbacks and become a better person in the process.
We love these plots in the novels we read but the principles of a good story offer much more than entertainment. Recent research shows that the narratives we tell ourselves about our lives can powerfully help us recover from stress. People who generate tales of struggling and turning over a new leaf from their own lives appear to have much better mental health. Professor Dan McAdams put forward this idea and discovered that whether someone can describe having had some control over events in their past is an important predictor of mental health. Another key theme involved is finding some kind of positive meaning after stressful events.
McAdams invited 14 and 15-year-olds to join in an experiment to write about their experiences of failure and success. Half of them were then given extra instructions to describe the ways they had made their success a reality and how the failure had changed them for the better. Eight weeks later, members of this group reported greater persistence and better grades in their schoolwork.
Exciting as these results are, some experts sound a few notes of caution. They worry that, hearing about the power of self-narratives, many people may feel they have to find a positive turning point in life. If they can’t, they could end up feeling guilty about having somehow “failed”.
Clearly, self-narratives aren’t the panacea. Nevertheless, if you hope for self-improvement, you can use the findings to good effect. By recognizing ourselves as the hero at the center of our own struggles, we can all become the author of our own destiny and change ourselves for the better.
28. What does the research focus on?
A. The causes of stress.
B. The principles of narrative.
C. The connection between struggle and well-being.
D. The link between mental health and self-narratives.
29. Why is the experiment mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To give proof. B. To make predictions.
C. To draw a conclusion. D. To make comparisons.
30. What does the underlined word “panacea” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Attempt to get rid of worries. B. Means of recognizing yourself.
C. Solution to adolescent problems. D. Guarantee to become better people.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Embrace Life Struggles B. Be Your Own Hero
C. Ways to Make a Good Story D. The Power of Self-improvement

When I was a boy growing up in the 1970’s and 1980’s, it was common to see hitchhikers walking along the side of the road as you drove along. A lot of people back then couldn’t afford cars so they either walked or hitched a ride when they had to go into town. As I got older, though, I noticed them less and less. That is until recently. It seems the difficulties of life these days are leaving a lot more people with only their legs for transportation.
Well, the other day I was driving home after picking up a few things from the store. I was in a sour state of mind. I had been watching too much news and listening to too little music. I had been worrying too much and not reflecting enough. I was starting to wonder if there was anything I could do to make a difference in this crazy world, if anything I did even mattered.
It was then that I saw her, a middle-aged woman loaded down with shopping bags on the side of the road, hoping to hitch a ride. I pulled over to the side of the road and let her in. She was traveling a bit out of my way but I decided to give her a ride all the way home. She told me how hard things had been for her lately and that she’d had to sell her car. Then when I pulled into her driveway, she smiled and thanked me for the ride. I drove away smiling too and as I did I heard a soft, gentle voice speaking into the depths of my heart. “Everything you do in this life makes a difference. You matter!”
I thanked the warmth of life for giving me a chance to do an act of kindness. And I thanked this joy for sweetening my sour state of mind and for returning joy to my soul again.
32. Why did people often hitchhike in the 1970’s and 1980’s?
A. They had no easy access to public transport.
B. They enjoyed talking with drivers.
C. They couldn’t afford their own cars.
D. They wanted to save time on the way.
33. What caused the author to be in a sour state of mind?
A. Failing to help others in need before.
B. Being stuck in traffic on the way home.
C. Being tired from carrying shopping bags.
D. Watching too much news and worrying a lot.
34. What can we infer about the author after helping the woman?
A. He felt more confused about life.
B. He decided to stop watching news.
C. He realized the value of his action.
D. He planned to help more people every day.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. An Unexpected Hitchhike
B. The Warm Voice in the Heart
C. A Difficult Day for a Woman
D. A Hitchhike That Brightens the Heart

When I was in the first or second grade, my mom’s new work schedule let her pick me up from school once a week to go to a nearby playground, where I first met Bob. He was sitting alone on a chair, watching other kids play — quiet and seemingly shy. I ran over to ask if he wanted to join, and he nodded eagerly. We had such a great time that I asked him to come again the next Friday. Mom later told me Bob had waited anxiously for us, saying he’d feared we’d forgotten him.
For weeks, Bob and I played together every Friday. I noticed he only had a few dirty clothes and often seemed tired, avoiding running games most kids loved. Later, we learned his family was poor — his parents struggled to care for him, and he felt ashamed of his situation, too embarrassed to join in active play. When I mentioned this to Mom, she gently told me to keep being his friend. “Bob just needs someone to accept him,” she said. “Help him see he’s just as good as anyone else.” Mom sometimes stayed nearby to chat with us. I did value our weekly time together, and slowly, Bob started to open up a little.
However, I didn’t know why Bob suddenly stopped coming. At first, I thought he was sick, but weeks passed with no sign of him. I felt heartbroken, thinking he’d avoided me because of his shame. Mom tried to comfort me, saying something might have happened to his family, but I couldn’t believe it — Bob had told me he lived close by.
I was so sad that Mom promised to find out what was wrong.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
One evening, Bob called , saying that he had moved to a new neighborhood.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The encouragement that Mom and I gave changed him.

【原文】M: We all know that exercise is good for us, but sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa.
W: I can see that. You seldom do exercise.
M: Plus, having the doctor tell us to get two and a half hours of exercise a week doesn’t really help our motivation much.
W: Don’t be discouraged. Now a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn’t have to be that demanding. Jacob Sattelmair from Harvard University has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks.
M: Hmm, interesting.
W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20% lower risk of death due to heart disease. Still, the people who exercised 150 minutes a week did pretty well too, lowering their death risk by 14%.
M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that, like what I probably do? Does that help?
W: Of course, even 15 minutes would help.

【答案】17. B 18. A 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【原文】 M: Before we begin today’s experiment, let’s review the lab rules. First, safety glasses must be worn at all times, even if you’re only watching. Second, never mix chemicals unless the instructions tell you to do so. Today we’re using a strong acid which can cause serious burns if it touches your skin. If any chemical container is knocked over, don’t panic. Tell me immediately and I’ll handle the clean-up. Also, keep your hair tied back and avoid wearing loose clothes. We will work in pairs. One person will handle the tools while the other records the data. Switch roles after every three trials to ensure everyone gets practice. Remember: the goal is accurate data, not speed. If you finish early, do not start a new experiment. Instead, clean your workspace thoroughly. Any questions? No? All right. Let’s have a safe and productive class.

There are more than 100,000 lakes across the United States. Below are incredible lakes worth a summer visit.
Lake Tahoe, California-Nevada
North America’s largest alpine (高山的) lake floats at 6,222 feet above sea level in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Known as “Big Blue,” Lake Tahoe is renowned for its amazing water clarity. Tahoe provides visitors with numerous activities, including paddle-boarding and the annual Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival.
Lake Chelan, Washington

An agrihood is a simple concept: a working farm surrounded by single or multifamily housing. Like a garden in a big city, agrihoods promise to boost food security, reduce temperatures, capture rainwater, and increase biodiversity. As climate change intensifies heat, flooding, and pressure on food systems, agrihoods could be a way to make urban living more resilient — not just more beautiful.
“Developers have a hard time offering open space, because they would like to build more housing,” said Vincent Mudd, a partner at an architectural firm which designs agrihoods. “One of the few ways to bridge that gap is to be able to use active open space that actually generates commerce.”
The firm recently finished two of them in California — one in Santa Clara and another, called Fox Point Farms, in Encinitas. The former, south of San Francisco, features townhouses, market-rate units, and affordable housing, plus a community center and retail (零售) shops. The latter, north of San Diego, adds a farm-to-table restaurant, an event venue, and a grocery store, but its housing is primarily for sale instead of for rent.
They are two different housing programs for two different communities, but they were built around the sustainability of urban farming. While these projects are in relatively rich areas, Mudd said agrihoods could be built nearly anywhere — though it might require tweaks (微调) to zoning rules. “Almost every city has the ability to make that zoning change,” said Mudd, “because it keeps commerce, preserves jobs, generates sales tax income from retail, and provides mixed-income, attainable housing.”
Where it gets more complicated is the logistics (后勤) of the farm. Water is the big one: Ideally, a farm captures enough rainwater to keep crops hydrated. A rainwater-capture system, though, comes with an upfront cost that a community garden in a lower-income neighborhood might not be able to afford. If, one year, the rains stop and drought takes hold, it will have to pay for more water.
24. What can be inferred about agrihoods from paragraph 1?
A. They aim to replace traditional farming.
B. They solve the problem of food security.
C. They help cities deal with climate change.
D. They focus on the appearance of housing.
25. Why do agrihoods include commercial elements?
A. To reduce the need for city rules.
B. To provide free services to locals.
C. To stop the growth of family homes.
D. To make up for lost building space.
26. What does Mudd think of zoning changes?
A. It is rewarding. B. It is complicated.
C. It costs too much. D. It is a piece of cake.
27. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Agrihoods: A Challenge for Local Farmers
B. Agrihoods: A New Model for Urban Living
C. Agrihoods: The End of Traditional Housing
D. Agrihoods: The Solution to Water Shortages
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了“农业社区”这一新型城市居住模式,及其在应对气候变化和促进可持续发展方面的潜力。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“As climate change intensifies heat, flooding, and pressure on food systems, agrihoods could be a way to make urban living more resilient — not just more beautiful.(随着气候变化加剧高温、洪水和食品系统的压力,“农业社区”可能成为一种让城市生活更具韧性——而不仅仅是更美观——的途径。)”可知,agrihoods有助于城市应对气候变化带来的种种挑战。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““Developers have a hard time offering open space, because they would like to build more housing,” said Vincent Mudd, a partner at an architectural firm which designs agrihoods. “One of the few ways to bridge that gap is to be able to use active open space that actually generates commerce.”(设计农业社区的建筑事务所合伙人Vincent Mudd表示:“开发商很难规划公共开放空间,因为他们更倾向多建住宅。弥合这一矛盾为数不多的办法之一,就是打造具备实际商业收益的功能性开放场地。”)”可知,引入商业元素是为了弥补因建设开放空间而损失的建筑用地。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中Mudd的话““Almost every city has the ability to make that zoning change,” said Mudd, “because it keeps commerce, preserves jobs, generates sales tax income from retail, and provides mixed-income, attainable housing.”(“几乎所有城市都具备调整分区规划的条件,”Mudd说,“这类项目能带动商业、留住就业岗位、通过零售业创造税收,还能提供适配不同收入群体、普通人负担得起的住房。”)”可知,Mudd认为分区变更虽然可能需要微调,但能带来经济、就业和民生等多重益处,是非常值得且有回报的。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇介绍了agrihoods的概念,随后通过建筑师Mudd的介绍和两个具体案例(Santa Clara和Fox Point Farms),阐述了其商业运作模式、可持续性优势以及面临的挑战(如水资源和分区规则)。全文围绕agrihoods作为一种新兴的城市居住和发展模式展开,B选项“Agrihoods: A New Model for Urban Living(农业社区:城市生活的新模式)”最能概括全文主旨。

Everyone knows what makes a good story. Our hero starts their journey as a flawed being. In scene after scene, they face challenges that push them down new paths. By the end of the talc, they overcome setbacks and become a better person in the process.
We love these plots in the novels we read but the principles of a good story offer much more than entertainment. Recent research shows that the narratives we tell ourselves about our lives can powerfully help us recover from stress. People who generate tales of struggling and turning over a new leaf from their own lives appear to have much better mental health. Professor Dan McAdams put forward this idea and discovered that whether someone can describe having had some control over events in their past is an important predictor of mental health. Another key theme involved is finding some kind of positive meaning after stressful events.
McAdams invited 14 and 15-year-olds to join in an experiment to write about their experiences of failure and success. Half of them were then given extra instructions to describe the ways they had made their success a reality and how the failure had changed them for the better. Eight weeks later, members of this group reported greater persistence and better grades in their schoolwork.
Exciting as these results are, some experts sound a few notes of caution. They worry that, hearing about the power of self-narratives, many people may feel they have to find a positive turning point in life. If they can’t, they could end up feeling guilty about having somehow “failed”.
Clearly, self-narratives aren’t the panacea. Nevertheless, if you hope for self-improvement, you can use the findings to good effect. By recognizing ourselves as the hero at the center of our own struggles, we can all become the author of our own destiny and change ourselves for the better.
28. What does the research focus on?
A. The causes of stress.
B. The principles of narrative.
C. The connection between struggle and well-being.
D. The link between mental health and self-narratives.
29. Why is the experiment mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To give proof. B. To make predictions.
C. To draw a conclusion. D. To make comparisons.
30. What does the underlined word “panacea” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Attempt to get rid of worries. B. Means of recognizing yourself.
C. Solution to adolescent problems. D. Guarantee to become better people.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Embrace Life Struggles B. Be Your Own Hero
C. Ways to Make a Good Story D. The Power of Self-improvement
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了最近的研究表明,我们对自己生活的描述可以有力地帮助我们从压力中恢复过来。那些讲述自己在生活中挣扎并重新开始的人似乎有更好的心理健康。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Recent research shows that the narratives we tell ourselves about our lives can powerfully help us recover from stress. People who generate tales of struggling and turning over a new leaf from their own lives appear to have much better mental health. Professor Dan McAdams put forward this idea and discovered that whether someone can describe having had some control over events in their past is an important predictor of mental health.(最近的研究表明,我们对自己生活的描述可以有力地帮助我们从压力中恢复过来。那些讲述自己在生活中挣扎并重新开始的人似乎有更好的心理健康。丹·麦克亚当斯教授提出了这一观点,并发现一个人是否能描述自己对过去的事情有一定的控制能力,这是一个重要的心理健康预测指标)”可知,研究的重点是心理健康和自我叙述之间的联系。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“McAdams invited 14 and 15-year-olds to join in an experiment to write about their experiences of failure and success. Half of them were then given extra instructions to describe the ways they had made their success a reality and how the failure had changed them for the better. Eight weeks later, members of this group reported greater persistence and better grades in their schoolwork.(麦克亚当斯邀请了14岁和15岁的孩子参加一个实验,写下他们失败和成功的经历。然后,他们中的一半人被给予额外的指示,描述他们是如何使成功成为现实的,以及失败是如何使他们变得更好的。八周后,这组学生表现出了更强的毅力和更好的学业成绩)”可推知,在第3段中提到这个实验是为了提供证据。故选A。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Exciting as these results are, some experts sound a few notes of caution. They worry that, hearing about the power of self-narratives, many people may feel they have to find a positive turning point in life. If they can’t, they could end up feeling guilty about having somehow “failed”.(尽管这些结果令人兴奋,但一些专家提出了一些警告。他们担心,听到自我叙述的力量,许多人可能会觉得他们必须找到生活中的积极转折点。如果他们做不到,他们可能会因为某种程度上的“失败”而感到内疚)”可知,自我叙述并不能保证就可以成为更好的人。故画线词意思是“保证成为更好的人”。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Nevertheless, if you hope for self-improvement, you can use the findings to good effect. By recognizing ourselves as the hero at the center of our own struggles, we can all become the author of our own destiny and change ourselves for the better.(然而,如果你希望自我改善,你可以利用这些发现来取得好的效果。认识到自己是奋斗中的英雄,我们都能成为自己命运的主宰,让自己变得更好)”结合文章主要说明了最近的研究表明,我们对自己生活的描述可以有力地帮助我们从压力中恢复过来。那些讲述自己在生活中挣扎并重新开始的人似乎有更好的心理健康。可知,故B选项“做自己的英雄”最符合文章标题。故选B。

When I was a boy growing up in the 1970’s and 1980’s, it was common to see hitchhikers walking along the side of the road as you drove along. A lot of people back then couldn’t afford cars so they either walked or hitched a ride when they had to go into town. As I got older, though, I noticed them less and less. That is until recently. It seems the difficulties of life these days are leaving a lot more people with only their legs for transportation.
Well, the other day I was driving home after picking up a few things from the store. I was in a sour state of mind. I had been watching too much news and listening to too little music. I had been worrying too much and not reflecting enough. I was starting to wonder if there was anything I could do to make a difference in this crazy world, if anything I did even mattered.
It was then that I saw her, a middle-aged woman loaded down with shopping bags on the side of the road, hoping to hitch a ride. I pulled over to the side of the road and let her in. She was traveling a bit out of my way but I decided to give her a ride all the way home. She told me how hard things had been for her lately and that she’d had to sell her car. Then when I pulled into her driveway, she smiled and thanked me for the ride. I drove away smiling too and as I did I heard a soft, gentle voice speaking into the depths of my heart. “Everything you do in this life makes a difference. You matter!”
I thanked the warmth of life for giving me a chance to do an act of kindness. And I thanked this joy for sweetening my sour state of mind and for returning joy to my soul again.
32. Why did people often hitchhike in the 1970’s and 1980’s?
A. They had no easy access to public transport.
B. They enjoyed talking with drivers.
C. They couldn’t afford their own cars.
D. They wanted to save time on the way.
33. What caused the author to be in a sour state of mind?
A. Failing to help others in need before.
B. Being stuck in traffic on the way home.
C. Being tired from carrying shopping bags.
D. Watching too much news and worrying a lot.
34. What can we infer about the author after helping the woman?
A. He felt more confused about life.
B. He decided to stop watching news.
C. He realized the value of his action.
D. He planned to help more people every day.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. An Unexpected Hitchhike
B. The Warm Voice in the Heart
C. A Difficult Day for a Woman
D. A Hitchhike That Brightens the Heart
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】作者内心低落时顺路搭载了一位搭便车的女士,这次小小的善举治愈了自己的消极情绪,让他明白每一份善意都有意义。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A lot of people back then couldn’t afford cars so they either walked or hitched a ride when they had to go into town.(那时很多人买不起车,所以当他们要进城时,要么步行,要么搭便车)”可知,在20世纪70年代和80年代,人们经常搭便车是因为他们买不起自己的车。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I was in a sour state of mind. I had been watching too much news and listening to too little music. I had been worrying too much and not reflecting enough.(我心情很糟糕。我看了太多新闻,听了太少音乐。我忧虑太多,反思不足)”可知,看太多新闻和过度担忧导致作者心情糟糕。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Then when I pulled into her driveway, she smiled and thanked me for the ride. I drove away smiling too and as I did I heard a soft, gentle voice speaking into the depths of my heart. “Everything you do in this life makes a difference. You matter!”(当我把车开进她的车道时,她微笑着感谢我送她一程。我也微笑着开车离开,就在这时,我听到一个温柔的声音在我内心深处响起:“你在生活中所做的一切都有意义。你很重要!”)”可知,在帮助这位女士后,作者意识到自己行动的价值。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I thanked the warmth of life for giving me a chance to do an act of kindness. And I thanked this joy for sweetening my sour state of mind and for returning joy to my soul again.(我感恩生活的温柔,让我有机会施以善意;也感恩这份美好,抚平了我内心的酸涩,让快乐重新充盈我的心灵)”可知,文章讲述作者原本心情糟糕,在搭载一位搭便车的女士后,意识到自己行为的价值,心情变得愉悦,所以“一次点亮心灵的搭便车经历”最适合作为标题。

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。
When I was in the first or second grade, my mom’s new work schedule let her pick me up from school once a week to go to a nearby playground, where I first met Bob. He was sitting alone on a chair, watching other kids play — quiet and seemingly shy. I ran over to ask if he wanted to join, and he nodded eagerly. We had such a great time that I asked him to come again the next Friday. Mom later told me Bob had waited anxiously for us, saying he’d feared we’d forgotten him.
For weeks, Bob and I played together every Friday. I noticed he only had a few dirty clothes and often seemed tired, avoiding running games most kids loved. Later, we learned his family was poor — his parents struggled to care for him, and he felt ashamed of his situation, too embarrassed to join in active play. When I mentioned this to Mom, she gently told me to keep being his friend. “Bob just needs someone to accept him,” she said. “Help him see he’s just as good as anyone else.” Mom sometimes stayed nearby to chat with us. I did value our weekly time together, and slowly, Bob started to open up a little.
However, I didn’t know why Bob suddenly stopped coming. At first, I thought he was sick, but weeks passed with no sign of him. I felt heartbroken, thinking he’d avoided me because of his shame. Mom tried to comfort me, saying something might have happened to his family, but I couldn’t believe it — Bob had told me he lived close by.
I was so sad that Mom promised to find out what was wrong.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
One evening, Bob called , saying that he had moved to a new neighborhood.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The encouragement that Mom and I gave changed him.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
One evening, Bob called, saying that he had moved to a new neighborhood. His parents found a well-paid job so they moved to a new apartment a few blocks away. He said that he also missed me very much and wanted to have chances to play with me. Mom quickly arranged a playdate at another park. When we met, Bob looked cleaner and happier. To my joy, he was now willing to run and play actively, no longer holding back. Mom talked to him softly, encouraging him to be proud of who he was, and slowly, his shyness disappeared.
The encouragement that Mom and I gave changed him. Bob was a grade behind, having missed school due to his past — he still invited me to his birthday parties, always grateful we hadn’t ignored him when he was a lonely, insecure kid. Mom said I did something special by making friends with Bob, but I just wanted a playmate. Little did I know that simple act of kindness, guided by Mom’s wisdom, would give Bob the courage to overcome his lack of confidence and change his life forever.
