Four Wonderful Places To Watch The Stars
When searching for tourist destinations, are you always spending a lot of time making decisions These four wonderful places across the US have the darkest night skies for you to view stars.
Homer Glen, Illinois
Homer Glen is a designated (指定的) Dark Sky Community and now another opportunity for people in Chicago and other Midwesterners to see the Milky Way (银河). While the city is larger than other similar sites, with around 25,000 people, it manages to reduce light pollution to provide a good environment for better night sky viewing.
Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota
Minnesota, the land with over 14,000 lakes, is home to this water-based national park. A daytime visit can be spent hiking the roads and doing activities on the water like boating and fishing, but a nighttime stay is a must to view the bright starry skies.
Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve, Idaho
Idaho is America’s first International Dark Sky Reserve. The designation, built in 2017, is a result of nearly twenty years of local efforts to reduce light pollution in the area. In the summer, the reserve offers hiking, biking, fishing, and camping. And in the winter, visitors can ski and go to the mountains.
Great Sand Dunes (沙丘) National Park and Preserve, Colorado
This Colorado national park is home to the tallest sand dunes in North America with some rising over 700 feet tall and offers daytime activities like sand boarding, and horse riding. At night, the dunes become an important place to see a clear view of the Milky Way.
1. What makes Homer Glen a good place to watch the stars
A. Its rising dunes. B. Its large population. C. Its colorful activities. D. Its good environment.
2. Where can you enjoy water sports besides star viewing
A. In Homer Glen, Illinois.
B. At Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota.
C. At Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve, Idaho.
D. At Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Colorado.

When I was young, I had no idea what I wanted to do. The choices were thin. It was assumed (假定的) that I’d go to college, and after, that I could be a mom. I could, be a secretary. I could be a nurse or a teacher. If anyone asked, I said I wanted to be a writer. Even I knew that wasn’t a real job. Mostly, I didn’t think about it.
But just as I was coming of age, a world of possibility opened up. By the time I graduated from college with a science degree, I still didn’t know what I wanted to do. And one day, after seeing a notice in the paper, I remembered there was something I’d wanted to do, once. It sounded fun, so I took the test to be a mail carrier. The new Postal Service was by law an inclusive group. If you got a good enough score, you were in.
It was an older woman conducting (执行) my fitness entry exam who was the first to disagree. This wasn’t a job for a girl, she said. And I shouldn’t take a man’s job away from him. He has a family to support. Despite that poor assumed man’s family, I became one of perhaps a dozen female carriers in the whole city of Portland, Oregon.
On the street, I was a novelty (新奇的人). I didn’t go a single day without hearing some friendly words: Well, I guess we can’t call you the mailman, can we We’ll have to call you the mail-woman! Those particular words somehow appeared naturally in thousands of minds at once. My existence received attention. It’s hard to imagine now.
Thirty-two years later I retired into a very different world. Being a retired mail carrier is even more fun than being a mail carrier. And finally, I get to be a writer. It’s still not really a job.
4. What can we know about the author when she was young

7. What was the author’s purpose in writing this text
A. To stress the importance of a career plan.

An important lesson in the moral (道德的) education of children could be as close as the book in their hands. Stories matter. And they can play a role in building moral values in young audiences, according to the results of a new study.
Lindsay Hahn is the first author of the new study, which explores how media content (内容) influences children. Many studies done before have focused on wide concept (概念), but Hahn’s study looks at how moral values might influence the kids’ values. Do children reading particular moral, characteristics take in those qualities and build their own morality The findings suggest so.
“Parents, caregivers, and teachers are often wondering how media can be used for good,” says Hahn. “How can it be used for good things How can it discourage bad habits How can it educate ” Answering those questions begins with a better understanding of how to use media. “When parents are considering what media they might want to select for their children, they can deliberate what particular moral value is being stressed by the main character, and how the main character is treated because of those actions,” she says.
For the study, Hahn and her workmates took the main character from a young adult novel. They wrote the content to reflect the study’s focus on moral values. Those stories were shared with about 200 participants (参与者) between the ages of 10 and 14. This is a favorable range for media research because it’s more difficult to introduce the understanding of stories to younger kids, while challenging to hold the attention of older teenagers, who become bored with basic storylines, according to Hahn.
8. What is the result of the new study
A. Stories should be spread more by media.
B. Children like reading books full of funny stories.
C. Children have learned an important lesson from stories.
D. Stories help children to develop their own moral values.
9. What does Hahn’s study focus on
A. How children deal with media content.
B. How children are exposed to modern society.
C. How media content influences children’s moral: values.
D. How children should deal with the moral values in stories.
10. What does the underlined word “deliberate” mean in paragraph 3
A. Describe. B. Improve. C. Title. D. Consider.
11. Which is the best title for the text
A. The Young Can Build Good Moral Values Easily
B. It Is Difficult for the Young to Understand Moral Values
C. Stories Play an Important Role in the Young’s Moral Values
D. Scientists Find More Ways to Help the Young Build Moral Values
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是根据一项新的研究结果，故事可以在年轻听众的道德价值观建设中发挥作用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“An important lesson in the moral (道德的) education of children could be as close as the book in their hands. Stories matter. And they can play a role in building moral values in young audiences, according to the results of a new study.(对孩子进行道德教育的重要一课就像他们手中的书一样近在咫尺。故事很重要。根据一项新的研究结果，它们可以在年轻听众的道德价值观建设中发挥作用。)”可知，这项新研究的结果是故事帮助孩子们发展自己的道德观。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Lindsay Hahn is the first author of the new study, which explores how media content influences children. Many studies done before have focused on wide concept, but Hahn’s study looks at how moral values might influence the kids’ values.(Lindsay Hahn是这项新研究的第一作者，该研究探索了媒体内容如何影响儿童。以前做过的许多研究都专注于广泛的概念，但Hahn的研究着眼于道德价值观如何影响孩子的价值观。)”可知，Hahn的研究重点是媒体内容如何影响儿童的道德价值观。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“When parents are considering what media they might want to select for their children(当父母考虑为孩子选择什么样的媒体时)”和“what particular moral value is being stressed by the main character, and how the main character is treated because of those actions(主角强调了什么特殊的道德价值，主角因为这些行为而受到了怎样的对待)”可知，划线词所在句子的意思是“当父母考虑为孩子选择什么样的媒体时，他们可以考虑主角强调了什么特定的道德价值，以及主角因这些行为而受到怎样的对待”，因此划线词deliberate的意思是“考虑”，和consider意思相近，故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“An important lesson in the moral (道德的) education of children could be as close as the book in their hands. Stories matter. And they can play a role in building moral values in young audiences, according to the results of a new study.(对孩子进行道德教育的重要一课就像他们手中的书一样近在咫尺。故事很重要。根据一项新的研究结果，它们可以在年轻听众的道德价值观建设中发挥作用。)”可知，本文主要讲的是根据一项新的研究结果，故事可以在年轻听众的道德价值观建设中发挥作用，因此最好的标题是C选项“Stories Play an Important Role in the Young’s Moral Values(故事在年轻人的道德价值观中扮演着重要的角色)”。故选C。
D
As we all know, children are fast learners when learning a second language. However, adults can study a second language as fast as children, a new study reports. Adults can develop the increased neural (神经的) connections with language study that can avoid dementia (痴呆) by four years, as well as make traveling a lot easier.
In an examination of Spanish second-language learners, the researchers found that after simplest training, the brain activity between sentences that relied on grammatical features unique to each language was similar to that of native speakers. “I think it is the reason why people think university foreign language teaching is good. It shows that, even with limited time in the college classroom, learning can happen quite quickly and well,” said professor Alison Gabriele, the co-author of the paper.
Beyond that, it gives parents more reasons to study a second language as part of a family effort. Further research has shown that learning a language as a family effort improves everyone’s abilities and gives opportunities for learning something that are mostly absent from classroom settings. National Geographic reports in an interview with Christine Jernigan, author of Family Language Learning: Learn Another Language, Raise Bilingual Children, that as for immersion (沉浸) in language study, practicing a second language with people is the most important part, and who talks to each other more than a family Language learners need to be brave. Besides, they should ready themselves for making mistakes and receive others’ advice.
Most people will be far more comfortable making mistakes around family members than in a classroom setting. Furthermore, any home activity, whether that’s gardening, playing in the yard, watching movies, going shopping, cleaning, or cooking a meal, becomes an opportunity for language learning. Jernigan suggests preparing vocabulary before an activity and using it as short homework. Jernigan suggests using subtitles (字幕) too, so you can see which words are being used.
12. What does the new study in paragraph 1 find
A. Kids often travel a lot ion their own.
B. Adults have learnt a second language better than kids.
C. Adults can study a second language as quickly as kids.
D. Kids are likely to develop the increased neural connections.
13. What does Alison Gabriele think of learning a language in the college classroom
A. It is successful. B. It is challenging.
C. It is disappointing. D. It is boring.
14 What is the advantage of learning a language as a family effort
A. Helping kids form good learning habits.
B. Making parents control kids easily.
C. Keeping kids focusing on the classroom.
D. Having more chances to learn in other situations.
15. What should language learners do according to the text
A. Be brave to take more risks.
B. Fit in with new learning environment.
C. Be willing to accept other’s comments.
D. Spend much time doing home activities.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了成年人学习第二语言的速度可以和儿童一样快以及学习第二语言的一些方法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段前两句“As we all know, children are fast learners when learning a second language. However, adults can study a second language as fast as children, a new study reports. (我们都知道，在学习第二语言时，孩子是快速的学习者。然而，一项新的研究报告称，成年人学习第二语言的速度可以和儿童一样快。)”可知，成年人学习第二语言的速度可以和儿童一样快。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““I think it is the reason why people think university foreign language teaching is good. It shows that, even with limited time in the college classroom, learning can happen quite quickly and well,” said professor Alison Gabriele, the co-author of the paper. (“我认为这就是为什么人们认为大学外语教学好的原因。这表明，即使在大学课堂上的时间有限，学习也可以非常快速和良好，”论文的合著者艾莉森·加布里埃教授说。)”可知，艾莉森·加布里埃认为在大学教室里学习一门语言是成功的。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Further research has shown that learning a language as a family effort improves everyone’s abilities and gives opportunities for learning something that are mostly absent from classroom settings. (进一步的研究表明，作为一种家庭努力学习一门语言可以提高每个人的能力，并有机会学习一些在课堂上几乎没有的东西。)”可知，全家人一起努力学习一门语言的好处是可以有机会学习课堂背景下学不到的东西，即：有更多在其他情况下学习的机会。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段末句“Besides, they should ready themselves for making mistakes and receive others’ advice. (此外，他们应该为犯错误做好准备，接受别人的建议。)”可知，语言学习者要乐于接受他人的意见。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个过健康生活的建议。
【16题详解】
空格前的句子“Many people think that being healthy is a difficult task that involves lots of dieting and time at the gym.(许多人认为保持健康是一项艰巨的任务，需要大量的节食和在健身房的时间)”是说保持健康并不容易；而空格后的句子“The following tips may put you on the right path to living a healthy and happy life.(下面的建议可能会让你走上健康快乐生活的正确道路)”要告诉我们健康生活的建议，所以空格处的句子应该是一个承上启下的句子，引出下一句的建议。所以A项“Actually, that is not true.(事实上，这不是真的)”填入空格处和上一句是转折关系，和下一句是顺接关系，有承上启下的作用。关系A项。
【17题详解】
空格前的句子“Keep a balanced diet. If half of your plate is vegetables and fruit, you’re on the right track. Add some meat, milk, and whole grains.(保持均衡的饮食。如果你的盘子里有一半是蔬菜和水果，那你就做对了。加一些肉、牛奶和全谷物)”告诉人们均衡饮食应该吃什么，接下来应该告诉人们不应该吃什么，所以E项“We’d better avoid food with lots of sugar and fat.(我们最好避免吃含大量糖和脂肪的食物)”填入空格处，符合题意。关系E项。
【18题详解】
空格处的句子是该段的主题句。根据空格后的句子“In addition to helping you lose weight and gain confidence, exercising has a lot of other benefits for your body and mind.(除了帮助你减肥和增加自信，锻炼对你的身心还有很多其他好处)”可知，该部分应该是说锻炼的好处。所以B项“Make a healthy exercise plan.(制定一个健康的锻炼计划)”填入空格处，符合题意。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据空格前的句子“When you start thinking about the bad thing swirling around you, stop.(当你开始思考围绕着你的坏事时，停下来)”和空格后的句子“It’s amazing to see what an important effect our optimism (乐观) has on our life.(看到我们的乐观对我们的生活有多么重要的影响是令人惊讶的)”可知，空格处的句子应该是建议人们思考积极的事。所以C项“We should learn to think positively.(我们应该学会积极地思考)”填入空格处，符合题意。故选C项。
【20题详解】
空格前的句子“Create a healthy daily routine (常规). A routine can help you develop a good habit in your life. It also ensures you have time to do the things you want to do, such as hanging out with friends or enjoying a hobby. It’s okay to have a different routine on certain days if that is what you have to do.(养成健康的日常习惯。日常习惯可以帮助你在生活中养成一个好习惯。它还能确保你有时间做你想做的事情，比如和朋友出去玩或享受一项爱好。如果你必须这样做，那么在某些日子里有不同的日程安排是可以的)”是说养成健康日常习惯的重要性，所以空格处的句子一定是建议“养成适合自己的日常习惯”。所以，G项“Try to create a routine that really works for you, though.(不过，试着创造一个真正适合你的日常习惯)”填入空格处，符合题意。故选G项。

47. 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。
Sal Garfield was having a bad day. He had been busy making cakes since 3 am. And now, his employee (雇员) who should take over the shop for the afternoon had just called in sick (请假).
Sal was an artist in making cakes. No one could make cakes like him, but he wasn’t a person who is good at talking to others. He dealt with several hateful (令人讨厌的) customers that morning, so when Janie, a nine-year-old girl, walked in, he was already very angry. Janie placed her little hands against the glass as she looked at the delicious cakes. “Hey, kid!” Sal shouted. “Don’t put your hands on the glass! I just cleaned it!” Janie jumped back and said sorry. “Everything looks so delicious! My mom says you make the best red velvet (丝绒) cake in the world,” Janie smiled. Sal felt happy about the praise.
“I want to buy a birthday cake,” Janie said and reached out her hand. There were many coins that didn’t come to more than a few dollars. She said she wanted to buy a red velvet cake. But Sal replied, “I hope you have more than those three or four dollars, kid! That cake costs $70!” Janie was shocked, and hoped she could buy just a slice (薄片) since she didn’t have any more money.
“Kid,” Sal answered, “you can’t even afford a slice!” Janie almost cried. She pointed at other cakes, asking whether she could buy one of the cheapest. Sal shook his head.
Janie was so sad. She wanted to buy a birthday cake for her mom, who had got seriously ill. Sal’s red velvet cake was her mom’s favorite. Janie wanted to buy one to surprise and cheer her mom up. Knowing she couldn’t even afford one of any other birthday cakes, Janie started crying, “Please, Sir. You don’t understand…” Sal lost his patience, shouting, “Get out! Try somewhere else!” Janie ran out and sat on a chair outside of the door, crying sadly. Just then, an old lady walked past.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The old lady stopped to ask Janie, “Sweetie, are you OK ”

Overhearing their conversation, Sal felt regretful for his behavior just now.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
The old lady stopped to ask Janie, “Sweetie, are you OK ” Janie shook her head. She expressed her sadness for not having enough money to buy her sick mom a birthday cake. Hearing what had happened to the girl’s mother, the old lady couldn’t help hugging Janie, comforted her, and decided to do something for her. She reached into her pocket, pulled out some money, and handed it to Janie. Then she led the girl back to the cake store.
Overhearing their conversation, Sal felt regretful for his behavior just now. When Janie walked back in, Sal greeted her with a warm smile this time. “I’m sorry, kid,” Sal said. “You can choose any cake for your mother for free.” Though surprised, Janie’s face lit up and she thanked Sal a lot. Janie walked carefully to the glass window, watching the red velvet cake that she had been looking forward to. Without any delay, Sal packed up the cake beautifully and handed it to Janie, saying, “Best wishes to your mother, kid!” Janie smiled and believed everything would be alright.

Four Wonderful Places To Watch The Stars
When searching for tourist destinations, are you always spending a lot of time making decisions These four wonderful places across the US have the darkest night skies for you to view stars.
Homer Glen, Illinois
Homer Glen is a designated (指定的) Dark Sky Community and now another opportunity for people in Chicago and other Midwesterners to see the Milky Way (银河). While the city is larger than other similar sites, with around 25,000 people, it manages to reduce light pollution to provide a good environment for better night sky viewing.
Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota
Minnesota, the land with over 14,000 lakes, is home to this water-based national park. A daytime visit can be spent hiking the roads and doing activities on the water like boating and fishing, but a nighttime stay is a must to view the bright starry skies.
Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve, Idaho
Idaho is America’s first International Dark Sky Reserve. The designation, built in 2017, is a result of nearly twenty years of local efforts to reduce light pollution in the area. In the summer, the reserve offers hiking, biking, fishing, and camping. And in the winter, visitors can ski and go to the mountains.
Great Sand Dunes (沙丘) National Park and Preserve, Colorado
This Colorado national park is home to the tallest sand dunes in North America with some rising over 700 feet tall and offers daytime activities like sand boarding, and horse riding. At night, the dunes become an important place to see a clear view of the Milky Way.

When I was young, I had no idea what I wanted to do. The choices were thin. It was assumed (假定的) that I’d go to college, and after, that I could be a mom. I could, be a secretary. I could be a nurse or a teacher. If anyone asked, I said I wanted to be a writer. Even I knew that wasn’t a real job. Mostly, I didn’t think about it.
But just as I was coming of age, a world of possibility opened up. By the time I graduated from college with a science degree, I still didn’t know what I wanted to do. And one day, after seeing a notice in the paper, I remembered there was something I’d wanted to do, once. It sounded fun, so I took the test to be a mail carrier. The new Postal Service was by law an inclusive group. If you got a good enough score, you were in.
It was an older woman conducting (执行) my fitness entry exam who was the first to disagree. This wasn’t a job for a girl, she said. And I shouldn’t take a man’s job away from him. He has a family to support. Despite that poor assumed man’s family, I became one of perhaps a dozen female carriers in the whole city of Portland, Oregon.
On the street, I was a novelty (新奇的人). I didn’t go a single day without hearing some friendly words: Well, I guess we can’t call you the mailman, can we We’ll have to call you the mail-woman! Those particular words somehow appeared naturally in thousands of minds at once. My existence received attention. It’s hard to imagine now.
Thirty-two years later I retired into a very different world. Being a retired mail carrier is even more fun than being a mail carrier. And finally I get to be a writer. It’s still not really a job.
4. What can we know about the author when she was young
A. She had no plan for her future.
B. She studied hard to be a writer.
C. She never wanted to go to college.
D. She knew little about what a real job was.
5. Why did the author want to be a mail carrier
A. She could do nothing else after her graduation.
B. She thought it interesting to be a mail carrier.
C. She got a high score in the test to be a mail carrier.
D. She was bored with studying for a science degree.
6. What was the older woman’s attitude to the author’s decision
A. Supportive. B. Careless. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
7 What was the author’s purpose in writing this text
A. To stress the importance of a career plan.
B. To share the story of her career options.
C. To show the fun of being a mail carrier.
D. To express her regret about her job choice.

An important lesson in the moral (道德的) education of children could be as close as the book in their hands. Stories matter. And they can play a role in building moral values in young audiences, according to the results of a new study.
Lindsay Hahn is the first author of the new study, which explores how media content (内容) influences children. Many studies done before have focused on wide concept (概念), but Hahn’s study looks at how moral values might influence the kids’ values. Do children reading particular moral, characteristics take in those qualities and build their own morality The findings suggest so.
“Parents, caregivers, and teachers are often wondering how media can be used for good,” says Hahn. “How can it be used for good things How can it discourage bad habits How can it educate ” Answering those questions begins with a better understanding of how to use media. “When parents are considering what media they might want to select for their children, they can deliberate what particular moral value is being stressed by the main character, and how the main character is treated because of those actions,” she says.
For the study, Hahn and her workmates took the main character from a young adult novel. They wrote the content to reflect the study’s focus on moral values. Those stories were shared with about 200 participants (参与者) between the ages of 10 and 14. This is a favorable range for media research because it’s more difficult to introduce the understanding of stories to younger kids, while challenging to hold the attention of older teenagers, who become bored with basic storylines, according to Hahn.
8. What is the result of the new study
A. Stories should be spread more by media.
B. Children like reading books full of funny stories.
C. Children have learned an important lesson from stories.
D. Stories help children to develop their own moral values.
9. What does Hahn’s study focus on
A. How children deal with media content.
B. How children are exposed to modern society.
C. How media content influences children’s moral: values.
D. How children should deal with the moral values in stories.
10. What does the underlined word “deliberate” mean in paragraph 3
A. Describe. B. Improve. C. Title. D. Consider.
11. Which is the best title for the text
A. The Young Can Build Good Moral Values Easily
B. It Is Difficult for the Young to Understand Moral Values
C. Stories Play an Important Role in the Young’s Moral Values
D. Scientists Find More Ways to Help the Young Build Moral Values
D
As we all know, children are fast learners when learning a second language. However, adults can study a second language as fast as children, a new study reports. Adults can develop the increased neural (神经的) connections with language study that can avoid dementia (痴呆) by four years, as well as make traveling a lot easier.
In an examination of Spanish second-language learners, the researchers found that after simplest training, the brain activity between sentences that relied on grammatical features unique to each language was similar to that of native speakers. “I think it is the reason why people think university foreign language teaching is good. It shows that, even with limited time in the college classroom, learning can happen quite quickly and well,” said professor Alison Gabriele, the co-author of the paper.
Beyond that, it gives parents more reasons to study a second language as part of a family effort. Further research has shown that learning a language as a family effort improves everyone’s abilities and gives opportunities for learning something that are mostly absent from classroom settings. National Geographic reports in an interview with Christine Jernigan, author of Family Language Learning: Learn Another Language, Raise Bilingual Children, that as for immersion (沉浸) in language study, practicing a second language with people is the most important part, and who talks to each other more than a family Language learners need to be brave. Besides, they should ready themselves for making mistakes and receive others’ advice.
Most people will be far more comfortable making mistakes around family members than in a classroom setting. Furthermore, any home activity, whether that’s gardening, playing in the yard, watching movies, going shopping, cleaning, or cooking a meal, becomes an opportunity for language learning. Jernigan suggests preparing vocabulary before an activity and using it as short homework. Jernigan suggests using subtitles (字幕) too, so you can see which words are being used.
12. What does the new study in paragraph 1 find
A. Kids often travel a lot ion their own.
B. Adults have learnt a second language better than kids.
C. Adults can study a second language as quickly as kids.
D. Kids are likely to develop the increased neural connections.
13. What does Alison Gabriele think of learning a language in the college classroom
A. It is successful. B. It is challenging.
C. It is disappointing. D. It is boring.
14. What is the advantage of learning a language as a family effort
A. Helping kids form good learning habits.
B. Making parents control kids easily.
C. Keeping kids focusing on the classroom.
D. Having more chances to learn in other situations.
15. What should language learners do according to the text
A. Be brave to take more risks.
B. Fit in with new learning environment.
C. Be willing to accept other’s comments.
D. Spend much time doing home activities.

Sal Garfield was having a bad day. He had been busy making cakes since 3 am. And now, his employee (雇员) who should take over the shop for the afternoon had just called in sick (请假).
Sal was an artist in making cakes. No one could make cakes like him, but he wasn’t a person who is good at talking to others. He dealt with several hateful (令人讨厌的) customers that morning, so when Janie, a nine-year-old girl, walked in, he was already very angry. Janie placed her little hands against the glass as she looked at the delicious cakes. “Hey, kid!” Sal shouted. “Don’t put your hands on the glass! I just cleaned it!” Janie jumped back and said sorry. “Everything looks so delicious! My mom says you make the best red velvet (丝绒) cake in the world,” Janie smiled. Sal felt happy about the praise.
“I want to buy a birthday cake” Janie said and reached out her hand. There were many coins that didn’t come to more than a few dollars. She said she wanted to buy a red velvet cake. But Sal replied, “I hope you have more than those three or four dollars, kid! That cake costs $70!” Janie was shocked, and hoped she could buy just a slice (薄片) since she didn’t have any more money.
“Kid,” Sal answered, “you can’t even afford a slice!” Janie almost cried. She pointed at other cakes, asking whether she could buy one of the cheapest. Sal shook his head.
Janie was so sad. She wanted to buy a birthday cake for her mom, who had got seriously ill. Sal’s red velvet cake was her mom’s favorite. Janie wanted to buy one to surprise and cheer her mom up. Knowing she couldn’t even afford one of any other birthday cakes, Janie started crying, “Please, Sir. You don’t understand…” Sal lost his patience, shouting, “Get out! Try somewhere else!” Janie ran out and sat on a chair outside of the door, crying sadly. Just then, an old lady walked past.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The old lady stopped to ask Janie, “Sweetie, are you OK ”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Overhearing their conversation, Sal felt regretful for his behavior just now.
