The price tags feel like serious 1 , forcing her to calculate if she can afford milk and bread. That day, when the checkout screen flashed $47.85, she frantically (慌乱地) searched her canvas jacket pockets—she had left her 2 at home.

Morning light filtered through icicles (冰锥) , scattering rainbows in the steam-filled room.

It was a ring! It looked 2 . It must be worth thousands of dollars, and the owner must 3 a lot. When I got back to the hotel, I took the ring to the manager and told him that I found it in the water off the 4 . He promised me that he would send out a message that a 5 had been found.
That evening, while having dinner, we heard a woman cheering in a loud voice. 6 had just got the ring back! I saw her standing with the hotel manager. He raised his hand and pointed at me and then the woman 7 came over and introduced herself. She told me that she swam with the ring and 8 it that morning. When she went back to the beach to 9 it, she failed. We had dinner together, celebrating our good luck that night. That day was so special for both of us, and it was 10 Christmas in July.
The next day when I checked out of the hotel, the bill had been paid by the woman. I felt touched. I have to say that when I saw that ring for the first time, I had an idea to 11 it or sell it. However, it didn’t take me long to realize that the only thing to do was to find out 12 the owner was. I was so glad that I had done the right thing when I saw the 13 look on that woman’s face after she got her ring back.

(25-26高二上·河北保定四校·期中)In a small Oregon town, Sarah lives with her three children. Every Wednesday, she pushes her old shopping cart to Hank’s grocery. The price tags feel like serious 1 , forcing her to calculate if she can afford milk and bread. That day, when the checkout screen flashed $47.85, she frantically (慌乱地) searched her canvas jacket pockets—she had left her 2 at home.
“It’s alright,” Maggie the cashier said 3 , “We can hold these for you.” A rustle of 4 traveled through the line. Embarrassed, Sarah met gentle blue-grey eyes.

Three years later, on Thanksgiving morning, Sarah stood at the food bank, 11 meal boxes to two hundred families. She watched her once-shy twins confidently 12 new volunteers how to use the scanner. Morning light filtered through icicles (冰锥) , scattering rainbows in the steam-filled room.
