Few people would even think of beginning a new job at the age of 76, but one of America's most famous artists did just that. Anna Mary Robertson, better known as “Grandma Moses”， turned to painting because she was too old to work on her farm.
Grandma Moses painted carefully and her works were nice. She first painted only to enjoy herself，and then began to sell her works for a little money. In 1939，a collector，Louis Caldor happened to see several of Grandma Moses' works hanging in a shop. He liked them, bought them at once, and set out to look for more. Caldor held a show to introduce the works of Grandma Moses to other artists.
Grandma Moses died on December 13th, 1961, at the age of 101. She was world－famous.

First Novel Award Winner
Book: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
Author: Gail Honeyman
Eleanor is 31 years old; work finishes on a Friday and begins again on a Monday. Between, her only company will be two bottles of vodka and her own unique wisdom. It is contentment, of a kind, but an unexpected shared experience suddenly opens the door to possibility. Challenging reader expectations with a living, breathing character, Gail Honeyman's debut is a funny and moving diamond.
Biography Award Winner
Book：In the Days of Rain
Author: Rebecca Stott
The Exclusive Brethren were a closed community who believed the world is ruled by Satan. Into this is born Rebecca. Her father had been an influential Brethren Minister. As her father lay dying, he begged her to help him write the memoir. He wanted to tell the story of their family who for generations had all been members of a fundamentalist Christian sect.
Poetry Award Winner
Book: Inside the Wave
Author: Helen Dunmore
To be alive is to be inside the wave, always travelling until it breaks and is gone. These poems are concerned with the borderline between the living and the dead — the underworld and the human living world—and the acutely intense being of both.

“Have you checked the oil in the car？” my father used to say to me, his version of “Hello, hope you are well.” Sometimes our phone calls would begin with an inquiry about the oil and end with an inquiry about the oil, with not a lot in between.
Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it's often supplied through the medium of practical advice. The affectionate phrase “You made my life better from the moment you were born” may be rarely heard, but there is the more common “I'll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof.”
Why can't we fathers just say “I love you” or “It's great to see you”？ The point is: That's exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. Listen closely enough and the phrase “I love you” can be heard in the lengthier “I could come around Saturday and replace the silicon seal around the base of your toilet because I reckon that thing is getting really smelly.”
When I was 17, I went on my first road trip. My father stood on the corner in the predawn of a cold morning to bid us farewell. “Highways are dangerous，” he said, “so don't try overtaking anything faster than a horse and buggy. And take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil.” At the time we thought his speech was funny and would chant “horseandbuggy” every time I floored the accelerator.
Dad's long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the FatherlishtoEnglish dictionary, I'd have understood that the speech my friend and I so casually mocked was simply Dad's attempt at affection.
【语篇解读】　本文属于夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者的父亲用实用的建议和实际行动来表达对作者的爱。
24．According to the passage, how do fathers usually show their affection？(　　)
A．By inquiring their kids' car.
B．By doing rather than saying.
C．By offering helpful advice.
D．By accompanying their kids.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it's often supplied through the medium of practical advice.”可知，父亲是通过给作者提供许多使用的建议来表达他的爱。所以“By offering helpful advice.”(通过提供有用的建议。)符合题意。
25．Why does the author mention his first road trip？(　　)

You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish.”可知，父亲们是在间接表达他们对孩子的关心；作者讲述自己17岁的那次旅行，目的就是为了表达父亲隐藏的爱。所以“To exemplify the unique parental concern.”(举例说明父母特有的关心)。符合题意。
26．What can we infer from the last paragraph？(　　)
A．My father has gone somewhere faraway.
B．I regretted making fun of my father's speech.
C. I owned a copy of FatherlishtoEnglish dictionary.
D．My father's speech got across to me when I was 17.

27．Which words can best describe the author's father？(　　)
A．Caring and considerate.
B．Devoted and generous.
C．Talkative and humorous.
D．Knowledgeable and diligent.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。从文中“Have you checked the oil in the car？” ；“Hello, hope you are well.”；“I'll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof.”等这些语言里，可知父亲对孩子很关心，并且为孩子考虑的很周到， 故选A项。

Researchers have been trying to uncover the cause of a steady decline of drug and alcohol use in teens. Some suspect it's due to antidrug campaigns or the decline of cigarettes as a gateway drug. But another theory has begun to surface. Is a new drug replacing the old ones Are smart phones taking their place
I noticed that using my smart phone took away so many life experiences. I hadn't minded before when my own phone could distract me, but now I felt annoyed when my friends or family used their phones when we were together. Sure it was uncomfortable at first, not having a clutch (紧握) to fall back on when I didn't feel like talking.But we shouldn't use our devices as the universal conversation avoider, or as our distraction from the discomfort of human interaction. How can we learn to interact when our phones are on hand at all times to prevent ourselves from doing so
Still, smart phones can sometimes be wonderful tools. They allow us to take beautiful photos and help us connect with old friends and maintain longdistance relationships. They allow us to have an endless amount of information at our fingertips, and give us directions to whatever destinations. But we must consider how every tool smart phones provide us with can also influence our lives. Not only does smart phone and screen use have an effect on relationships, it can also shape an individual and the brain. Studies have shown that excessive Internet usage can cause increased depression, loneliness, and anxiety in adolescents.
So my advice to teens who feel the same way as I do My decision to go without a phone was definitely extreme, considering our generation. So try ditching your phone for a week. Observe how it affects your relationships, your mood, and your presence. You just might end up feeling less stressed, happier, and more connected.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章针对智能手机的好处和坏处进行谈论，并且强调了智能手机对我们的生活有很多影响，甚至过度使用网络影响青少年的身心健康。

D
After spending three days about 360 miles above the ground, the allcivilian crew (全部为平民的机组人员) of SpaceX's Inspiration4 have returned to Earth. Their Crew Dragon capsule (太空舱) splashed down off the Atlantic coast of Florida, not far from where they launched.
“This is the beginning of the private space tourism industry. It's not like five minutes, a little moment of microgravity, and it's over. This is much closer to what the public understands as space tourism，” said Jordan Bimm, a space historian at the University of Chicago.
The Dragon's listed crew includes paying customer Jared Isaacman, the billionaire CEO of the payment processing company Shift4 Payments, and three people whose tickets he supported: Sian Proctor, a geoscientist and artist; Chris Sembroski, an engineer; and Hayley Arceneaux, a physician assistant. Proctor is the fourth African American woman to go to space, and Arceneaux made history as the first space traveler with a prosthetic (假的) body part.
The growth in private space travel will surely draw more careful examination of how the missions are designed and who gets to fly. Proctor would like to continue expanding access to more people. “We need to think about ‘JEDI’ space—a just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive space for all humanity. Because we're on Starship Earth and we want to bring everyone along with us，” she said at a prelaunch briefing. Isaacman mentioned their feelings during their onorbit update: “We're really proud to share this experience with everyone. We know how lucky we are to be up here.”
Space tourism will likely remain expensive for a while, but reducing launch costs will enable more people to fly in space, following in the Inspiration4 crew's footsteps, said Benji Reed, SpaceX's human spaceflight chief. “I think today is a great day for commercial space travel，” he said. “I believe this will be looked at as the first mission that opened up the second space age, where space becomes much more accessible to average men and women across the world.”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇新闻报道。Inspiration4 任务中的宇航员平安返回地球，这标志着人类首次全平民的太空旅行的成功。
32．What do Jordan Bimm's words in Paragraph 2 mean？(　　)
A．Inspiration4 made history.
B．Inspiration4 had a professional team.
C．The space trip should have lasted longer.
D．The space trip changed the public's ideas of space tourism.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This is the beginning of the private space tourism industry”以及“This is much closer to what the public understands as space tourism”可知，Inspiration4的成功拉开了私人太空旅行的序幕，创造了历史，帮助大众更加深入地了解太空旅行。
33．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？(　　)
A．An introduction to the Inspiration4 crew.
B．A report on Inspiration4's successful landing.
C．An analysis of the difficulties Inspiration4 had.
D．A discussion about the meaning of Inspiration4's return.
答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The Dragon's listed crew includes paying customer Jared Isaacman... and three people whose tickets he supported...”可知，本段是对Inspiration4任务中四位成员的简介，包括姓名、职业等信息。
34．In Isaacman's opinion, this trip to space was ________.(　　)
A．rather costly B．very relaxing
C．quite meaningful D．extremely boring
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We're really proud to share this experience with everyone. We know how lucky we are to be up here.”可知，Isaacman对此次旅行感到很自豪，很幸运自己可以参与这次太空旅行。
35．What did Benji Reed say about space tourism？(　　)
A．It has hardly been accepted by the public.
B．It would be more accessible in the future.
C．It would be affordable very soon.
D．It has little commercial value.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I believe this will be looked at as the first mission that opened up the second space age, where space becomes much more accessible to average men and women across the world.”可知，Benji Reed认为Inspiration4拉开了太空旅行的序幕，太空旅行在未来会变得越来越普遍。

Real life Room Escape Games
Real life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within a set time limit.

Real life room escape games are becoming popular in the United States, Japan, and China. 37(____) For example, some games require you to escape prison cells while others require you to escape space stations.
38(____) Soon, they were exported to North America, Asia and Australia. Examples include the two pioneer companies Hint Hunt and Adventure Rooms.
The games were so successful that new locations began opening up across China, in cities big and small, according to Want China Times.

Earlier this year, The South China Morning Post said the real life escape games are a hit among “highly stressed students and overworked young professionals”. 40(____) Some players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their “prisons”， as Zhu Yumeng, chief operating officer of Beijing room escape game store Taoquan told China Daily.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了4月16日上午，“神舟十三”号载人飞船返回舱在东风着陆场预定区域成功着陆。“神舟十三”号三名航天员安全顺利出舱的基本情况。
56．答案：the
解析：考查冠词。句意：在绕地球飞行6个月后，中国“神舟十三”号的三名宇航员于周六上午离开天宫空间站返回地球，完成了中国最长的载人航天飞行。结合语境，此处特指“神舟十三”号上的三名宇航员，应用定冠词修饰。
57．答案：from
解析：考查介词。句意：在绕地球飞行6个月后，中国“神舟十三”号的三名宇航员于周六上午离开天宫空间站返回地球，完成了中国最长的载人航天飞行。结合句意表达“与……分离”，应用depart from。
58．答案：longest
解析：考查形容词最高级。句意：在绕地球飞行6个月后，中国“神舟十三”号的三名宇航员于周六上午离开天宫空间站返回地球，完成了中国最长的载人航天飞行。结合常识可知，“神舟十三”号是目前中国飞行最长的载人航天器，故此处应用long的最高级，修饰名词词组manned spaceflight。
59．答案：applause
解析：考查名词。句意：着陆后不久，三名宇航员都通过无线电表示他们在长期的太空任务后感觉良好，这引起了北京中国国家航天局任务控制中心的掌声。空处应用名词，作bring的宾语，applause“掌声”是不可数名词。
60．答案：to conduct
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，这次任务的王亚平成为第一位生活在天河号上的女性，也是第一位进行太空行走的中国女性。当名词被序数词修饰时，通常用不定式作后置定语。
61．答案：who
解析：考查定语从句。句意：“神舟十三”号的任务中，叶光富和翟志刚也加入了王亚平的行列，翟志刚指挥这次任务。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为Zhai Zhigang，指人，从句缺少主语，应用who引导。
62．答案：educational
解析：考查形容词。句意：他们在轨道上的六个月非常忙碌。这些宇航员——中国宇航员被称为“太空人”——进行了两次太空行走，进行了20多次不同的科学实验，并在天河进行了两次现场教育讲座。修饰名词lectures，应用形容词，educational lectures“教育讲座”。
63．答案：getting
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：“神舟十三”号的工作人员还花了一些时间让天河做好迎接下一轮访客的准备，这轮访客将很快抵达；根据spend＋时间＋(in) doing sth.“花时间做某事”可知，空处应用get的ing形式。
64．答案：relatively
解析：考查副词。句意：“神舟十三”号的工作人员还花了一些时间让天河做好迎接下一轮访客的准备，这轮访客将很快抵达；修饰副词soon，应用副词relatively。
65．答案：is expected
解析：考查动词语态。句意：“神舟十四”号任务预计将于6月初发射。主语the Shenzhou 14 mission和expect之间是被动关系，且此处陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时的被动语态。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
My wife called “Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food？” I rushed to the scene. My only daughter, Sindu, looked frightened. Her eyes were filled with tears. In front of her was a bowl filled with rice. Sindu particularly hated rice.
“Sindu, darling, why don't you take a few mouthfuls of this？” Sindu softened a bit, and wiped her tears with the back of her hands.
“Ok, Dad. If I eat this, will you give me whatever I ask for？” “Oh, sure, darling.” Slowly and painfully, she finished eating the whole bowl. Sindu came to me with her eyes wide with expectation.
“Dad, I want to have my hair shaved off (剃光)this Sunday！”
“Darling, why don't you ask for something else Girls look ugly with a cleanshaven head. We will be sad seeing you with a cleanshaven head.”
“Dad, you saw how difficult it was for me to eat the rice.” Sindu was in tears. “And you promised to give me whatever I ask for.” My promise must be kept. With her head cleanshaven, Sindu had a round face, and her eyes looked big and beautiful.
On Monday morning, I dropped her at her school. It was a sight to watch my hairless Sindu walking towards her classroom. Just then, a boy shouted from a car, “Sindu, please wait for me！”
What struck me was the hairless head of that boy.
“That boy who is walking along with your daughter is my son Harish.”
Without introducing herself, a lady got out of the car and continued.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Harish is suffering from leukemia(白血病).

That day several students of her class went to school with their heads hairless.

参考范文：
Harish is suffering from leukemia(白血病). He lost all his hair due to the side effects of the treatment. “Never will I have any friends, will I, mom？” he cried desperately. He refused to come back to school for fear of being laughed at. The turning point came with the story that Sindu visited him last week. But what I never imagined was that she would sacrifice her lovely hair for the sake of my son. “What a little angel！” the lady exclaimed, tears welling up her eyes.
That day several students of her class went to school with their heads hairless. Without any embarrassment or hesitation, they talked and laughed as usual, waving morning greetings to others. The cheerful scene infected everyone on the spot, which touched me and left me lost in thought. What was it that encouraged and inspired my little princess who hated rice to overcome her strong personal disgust to do her bits on the way to help others out How was it that the action of kindness went viral “Thanks, honey, my little angel! You are teaching me how selfless real love is.” I whispered to myself gratefully.

A
The Costa Book Awards consistently pick winners that are both of the moment and subsequently endure. It's our pleasure to confirm this year's Category Winners.
First Novel Award Winner
Book: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
Author: Gail Honeyman
Eleanor is 31 years old; work finishes on a Friday and begins again on a Monday. Between, her only company will be two bottles of vodka and her own unique wisdom. It is contentment, of a kind, but an unexpected shared experience suddenly opens the door to possibility. Challenging reader expectations with a living, breathing character, Gail Honeyman's debut is a funny and moving diamond.
Biography Award Winner
Book：In the Days of Rain
Author: Rebecca Stott
The Exclusive Brethren were a closed community who believed the world is ruled by Satan. Into this is born Rebecca. Her father had been an influential Brethren Minister. As her father lay dying, he begged her to help him write the memoir. He wanted to tell the story of their family who for generations had all been members of a fundamentalist Christian sect.
Poetry Award Winner
Book: Inside the Wave
Author: Helen Dunmore
To be alive is to be inside the wave, always travelling until it breaks and is gone. These poems are concerned with the borderline between the living and the dead — the underworld and the human living world—and the acutely intense being of both.
Children's Award Winner
Book：The Explorer
Author: Katherine Rundell, Hannah Horn
Four children survive their aircraft plunging into the Amazon jungle, but for Fred and his friends, it's only the beginning of a cruel battle for survival. Filled with adventure and a real command of character and incident, Rundell has few peers in superb children's fiction．

21．Which of the following tells about a family story？(　　)
A．Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.

22．Which character in the book lives alone and like drinking？(　　)
A．Eleanor Oliphant. B．Gail Honeyman.
C．Rebecca. D．Fred.

23．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph？(　　)

B
“Have you checked the oil in the car？” my father used to say to me, his version of “Hello, hope you are well.” Sometimes our phone calls would begin with an inquiry about the oil and end with an inquiry about the oil, with not a lot in between.
Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it's often supplied through the medium of practical advice. The affectionate phrase “You made my life better from the moment you were born” may be rarely heard, but there is the more common “I'll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof.”
Why can't we fathers just say “I love you” or “It's great to see you”？ The point is: That's exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. Listen closely enough and the phrase “I love you” can be heard in the lengthier “I could come around Saturday and replace the silicon seal around the base of your toilet because I reckon that thing is getting really smelly.”
When I was 17, I went on my first road trip. My father stood on the corner in the predawn of a cold morning to bid us farewell. “Highways are dangerous，” he said, “so don't try overtaking anything faster than a horse and buggy. And take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil.” At the time we thought his speech was funny and would chant “horseandbuggy” every time I floored the accelerator.
Dad's long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the FatherlishtoEnglish dictionary, I'd have understood that the speech my friend and I so casually mocked was simply Dad's attempt at affection.

Researchers have been trying to uncover the cause of a steady decline of drug and alcohol use in teens. Some suspect it's due to antidrug campaigns or the decline of cigarettes as a gateway drug. But another theory has begun to surface. Is a new drug replacing the old ones Are smart phones taking their place
I noticed that using my smart phone took away so many life experiences. I hadn't minded before when my own phone could distract me, but now I felt annoyed when my friends or family used their phones when we were together. Sure it was uncomfortable at first, not having a clutch (紧握) to fall back on when I didn't feel like talking.But we shouldn't use our devices as the universal conversation avoider, or as our distraction from the discomfort of human interaction. How can we learn to interact when our phones are on hand at all times to prevent ourselves from doing so
Still, smart phones can sometimes be wonderful tools. They allow us to take beautiful photos and help us connect with old friends and maintain longdistance relationships. They allow us to have an endless amount of information at our fingertips, and give us directions to whatever destinations. But we must consider how every tool smart phones provide us with can also influence our lives. Not only does smart phone and screen use have an effect on relationships, it can also shape an individual and the brain. Studies have shown that excessive Internet usage can cause increased depression, loneliness, and anxiety in adolescents.
So my advice to teens who feel the same way as I do My decision to go without a phone was definitely extreme, considering our generation. So try ditching your phone for a week. Observe how it affects your relationships, your mood, and your presence. You just might end up feeling less stressed, happier, and more connected.

After spending three days about 360 miles above the ground, the allcivilian crew (全部为平民的机组人员) of SpaceX's Inspiration4 have returned to Earth. Their Crew Dragon capsule (太空舱) splashed down off the Atlantic coast of Florida, not far from where they launched.
“This is the beginning of the private space tourism industry. It's not like five minutes, a little moment of microgravity, and it's over. This is much closer to what the public understands as space tourism，” said Jordan Bimm, a space historian at the University of Chicago.
The Dragon's listed crew includes paying customer Jared Isaacman, the billionaire CEO of the payment processing company Shift4 Payments, and three people whose tickets he supported: Sian Proctor, a geoscientist and artist; Chris Sembroski, an engineer; and Hayley Arceneaux, a physician assistant. Proctor is the fourth African American woman to go to space, and Arceneaux made history as the first space traveler with a prosthetic (假的) body part.
The growth in private space travel will surely draw more careful examination of how the missions are designed and who gets to fly. Proctor would like to continue expanding access to more people. “We need to think about ‘JEDI’ space—a just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive space for all humanity. Because we're on Starship Earth and we want to bring everyone along with us，” she said at a prelaunch briefing. Isaacman mentioned their feelings during their onorbit update: “We're really proud to share this experience with everyone. We know how lucky we are to be up here.”
Space tourism will likely remain expensive for a while, but reducing launch costs will enable more people to fly in space, following in the Inspiration4 crew's footsteps, said Benji Reed, SpaceX's human spaceflight chief. “I think today is a great day for commercial space travel，” he said. “I believe this will be looked at as the first mission that opened up the second space age, where space becomes much more accessible to average men and women across the world.”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇新闻报道。Inspiration4 任务中的宇航员平安返回地球，这标志着人类首次全平民的太空旅行的成功。
32．What do Jordan Bimm's words in Paragraph 2 mean？(　　)
A．Inspiration4 made history.
B．Inspiration4 had a professional team.
C．The space trip should have lasted longer.
D．The space trip changed the public's ideas of space tourism.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This is the beginning of the private space tourism industry”以及“This is much closer to what the public understands as space tourism”可知，Inspiration4的成功拉开了私人太空旅行的序幕，创造了历史，帮助大众更加深入地了解太空旅行。
33．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？(　　)
A．An introduction to the Inspiration4 crew.
B．A report on Inspiration4's successful landing.
C．An analysis of the difficulties Inspiration4 had.
D．A discussion about the meaning of Inspiration4's return.
答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The Dragon's listed crew includes paying customer Jared Isaacman... and three people whose tickets he supported...”可知，本段是对Inspiration4任务中四位成员的简介，包括姓名、职业等信息。
34．In Isaacman's opinion, this trip to space was ________.(　　)
A．rather costly B．very relaxing
C．quite meaningful D．extremely boring
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We're really proud to share this experience with everyone. We know how lucky we are to be up here.”可知，Isaacman对此次旅行感到很自豪，很幸运自己可以参与这次太空旅行。
35．What did Benji Reed say about space tourism？(　　)
A．It has hardly been accepted by the public.
B．It would be more accessible in the future.
C．It would be affordable very soon.
D．It has little commercial value.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I believe this will be looked at as the first mission that opened up the second space age, where space becomes much more accessible to average men and women across the world.”可知，Benji Reed认为Inspiration4拉开了太空旅行的序幕，太空旅行在未来会变得越来越普遍。

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。
My wife called “Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food？” I rushed to the scene. My only daughter, Sindu, looked frightened. Her eyes were filled with tears. In front of her was a bowl filled with rice. Sindu particularly hated rice.
“Sindu, darling, why don't you take a few mouthfuls of this？” Sindu softened a bit, and wiped her tears with the back of her hands.
“Ok, Dad. If I eat this, will you give me whatever I ask for？” “Oh, sure, darling.” Slowly and painfully, she finished eating the whole bowl. Sindu came to me with her eyes wide with expectation.
“Dad, I want to have my hair shaved off (剃光)this Sunday！”
“Darling, why don't you ask for something else Girls look ugly with a cleanshaven head. We will be sad seeing you with a cleanshaven head.”
“Dad, you saw how difficult it was for me to eat the rice.” Sindu was in tears. “And you promised to give me whatever I ask for.” My promise must be kept. With her head cleanshaven, Sindu had a round face, and her eyes looked big and beautiful.
On Monday morning, I dropped her at her school. It was a sight to watch my hairless Sindu walking towards her classroom. Just then, a boy shouted from a car, “Sindu, please wait for me！”
What struck me was the hairless head of that boy.
“That boy who is walking along with your daughter is my son Harish.”
Without introducing herself, a lady got out of the car and continued.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Harish is suffering from leukemia(白血病).
___________________________________________________________
That day several students of her class went to school with their heads hairless.
___________________________________________________________
参考范文：
Harish is suffering from leukemia(白血病). He lost all his hair due to the side effects of the treatment. “Never will I have any friends, will I, mom？” he cried desperately. He refused to come back to school for fear of being laughed at. The turning point came with the story that Sindu visited him last week. But what I never imagined was that she would sacrifice her lovely hair for the sake of my son. “What a little angel！” the lady exclaimed, tears welling up her eyes.
That day several students of her class went to school with their heads hairless. Without any embarrassment or hesitation, they talked and laughed as usual, waving morning greetings to others. The cheerful scene infected everyone on the spot, which touched me and left me lost in thought. What was it that encouraged and inspired my little princess who hated rice to overcome her strong personal disgust to do her bits on the way to help others out How was it that the action of kindness went viral “Thanks, honey, my little angel! You are teaching me how selfless real love is.” I whispered to myself gratefully.
