The STAR Eco Station is an environmental science museum, a wildlife rescue center, and a shelter for endangered and illegally-traded foreign animals confiscated (没收) by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It carries out the mission “Preservation through Education” by educating visitors about the preservation of the environment and the inter-dependence of all living things.Field trips
STAR Eco Station hosts field trips for schools and camps throughout Southern California. Each field trip lasts two hours, consisting of a one-hour gathering and a one-hour tour of the facility, with lessons associated with California State Science Standards.
Throughout the field trip, students learn about the latest developments in environmental protection and the ways in which wildlife interacts with various ecosystems. The students also receive an up-close and hands-on experience with our rescued foreign wildlife. The tour includes different environmental exhibits that showcase the ways students can help protect animals in the wild.
Field trips are offered on weekdays only, from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. or 12 p.m.-2 p.m. The rate is $6 per visitor, both child and adult, with a $120 minimum. We offer one free adult per 10 children for groups of 40 or more. Maximum capacity is 120 people per field trip.Public tours
Guided tours of the STAR Eco Station introduce visitors to over two hundred rescued foreign wildlife. Each tour is led by an Eco Station staff member, and features fun animal facts, hands-on animal encounters, surprising rescue stories, environmental exhibits, and original approaches to going green. Visitors may only see the animals on a guided tour, for both your safety and the safety of our animals.
The guided tour lasts approximately 45-60 minutes. Public tours are offered on Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. (last tour begins at 3 p.m.).

“Meet me in the conference room with the contracts and a cup of coffee,” my boss barked at me. “Ten minutes.”
I didn’t respond. I stood still as if my shoes had been glued to the floor. I had no intention of taking a cup of anything to anyone, supervisor or not.
I had seen with my own eyes what such behavior did to a woman. It happened to Mrs. Wilson next door. Old Mr. Wilson couldn’t put in his own false teeth without his wife’s assistance, let alone make himself lunch. It was a miserable union. I vowed by age eight that I would never live like her. I adopted the motto: Don’t help those who won’t help themselves.
I rushed to the file room and pulled my phone. I explained to my father what had happened and asked his advice on what to do, only to be asked back. He must have forgotten the unwritten rule between us about not answering a question with a question. Fortunately, I came up with an idea that would have the best of both worlds.
I took up the files and headed for the coffee pot. I took two cups and made two cups of coffee. Then I walked into the boss’ office with a cup of coffee in each hand. I handed my boss a cup of coffee and drank at the same time as him.
“Let’s take a break,” partway through the meeting, my boss stood, saying. “I need more coffee.” I picked up my empty cup. “I do, too,” I said, and handed it to him across the table. “Thanks,” I added, looking at him expectantly. The boss was staggered for a moment, and then took the cup from me.
When I finally left my boss’ office, I hid in the bathroom and called my dad. My father’s laughter on the phone made me feel even prouder.
24．Why does the author mention the Wilsons
A．To show how the couple grew old together. B．To picture what she will be like when she ages.
C．To tell the story of the old couple. D．To explain her unwillingness to serve the coffee
25．What did the author mean by bringing two cups of coffee to meet the boss
A．She meant to share instead of serving B．She planned to have the boss serve her later.
C．She intended to play a trick on her mean boss D．She wanted to save the trouble of doing it again
26．What does the underlined word “staggered” mean in the sixth paragraph
A．Annoyed. B．Shocked. C．Confused. D．Excited.
27．What can we learn about the author from the text
A．She figured out how to show respect for her superior.
B．She found it practical to seek solutions from her father.
C．She took a sensible approach to standing up for herself.
D．She considered it significant to fight against men bravely.
In December 1994, a weight-loss movement was started, stating that obesity(肥胖) had become America’s second-largest cause of death, “resulting in about 300, 000 lives lost each year.” This marked the beginning of a long and influential life for the number. Experts began using the number to stress the seriousness of the problem. After ten years, the number had ballooned to nearly 400, 000 deaths caused by high weight, and it was expected to soon reach half a million. But these seemingly shocking numbers were then overturned(推翻) The number killer was Katherine Flegal.
Hoping to better understand the relationship between body size and death rate, Flegal led a study that finally showed something many scientists—and certainly the public—did not expect:the annual(每年的) deaths related to obesity added up to just more than 100, 000. More interesting still, people considered “overweight” could live longer than those who had “normal” weight. The study was met with a firestorm of doubt. “People were saying that our article was rubbish,” Flegal says. “Our findings produced controversy(争论) because someone wanted a controversy.”
“People are just more comfortable with a larger number—they prefer it to be larger,” Flegal says. And in nutrition science and medicine, that larger number is equal to the idea that thinner is better, skinnier is healthier. “You can report the same findings about obesity 100 times, and it can be called ‘unexpected’ every single time,” Flegal says. “At what point would you change your mind and say this might be the expected ”
“It’s human nature for people to find proof that supports their belief,” Caan, a breast cancer researcher says. “But we need to study where the data takes us.” Her own “unexpected findings” led to a discovery that could influence breast cancer patients:keeping muscle during treatment is far more important to survival than avoiding weight gain. “We can’t be stuck in what we thought was true,” Caan says, “because then we’re never going to move the field forward.”
28．In paragraph 1, the author lists numbers to ______.
A．call on people to lose weight B．draw experts’ attention to obesity
C．support the weight-loss movement D．introduce Flegal’s research background
29．What do we know about Flegal’s study
A．It helped people to live a longer life.
B．It lacked proof so that it caused doubt.
C．Its aim was to decide on normal weight ranges.
D．Its findings were beyond people’s expectations.
30．What does “this” refer to in paragraph 3
A．A point that changes our mind.
B．A study about nutrition science.
C．The large number of deaths caused by obesity.
D．The idea that thinner is better, skinnier is healthier
31．What can be inferred(推断) from Caan’s unexpected findings
A．Breast cancer is related to body size.
B．It is necessary to break limiting beliefs.
C．Losing weight matters to cancer patients.
D．It is right to believe what we choose to believe.
How good are you at maths Some people love the challenge of algebra (代数) or enjoy working out number puzzles. Maths is all around us, from working out how to share the bill after a meal, to calculating your family bills. But many are afraid of the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem frightening, but this maths anxiety is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability.
The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be more likely to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15 — and 16 — year — olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said they worried that maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, a professor from Boston University, believes that giving students, particularly girls, good role models is critical, especially at a young age. She thinks the key is to get people, especially women who love maths, to teach younger children.
Writing for the BBC, David Robson says, “It’s not clear why maths causes so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s no room for playing tricks might make you more worried about underperforming.” And once we assume that we’re not a maths person, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
Psychologists have been trying to work out why mental arithmetic (心算) can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that voicing your fears can loosen their control over you. They also suggest encouraging children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. Most importantly, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
32．What is the author’s understanding of maths anxiety in paragraph 1
A．It happens when you have to pay bills after a meal.
B．It actually reflects one’s poor performance in maths.
C．Only students often suffer from this sense of worry.
D．People normally have it when dealing with numbers
33．What may cause students’ maths anxiety according to the research
A．The particular feature of maths.
B．The fear of failure in maths tests.
C．Students’ dislike of learning maths.
D．Maths teachers’ lack of confidence.
34．What can we infer from David Robson’s words
A．Geography seldom causes worry.
B．Slow students have maths anxiety.
C．Dishonesty is difficult in maths tests.
D．Maths students like number puzzles.
35．What is the best way to get over maths anxiety
A．Speaking out your fears in public.
B．Employing female maths teachers.
C．Having a positive attitude to maths.
D．Viewing maths tests as a challenge.
Dior clicks a button and watches as her neighborhood is flooded. The shorelines are first to go. 36 By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Dior moves her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated (仿真的) view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise.
Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most bothersome: 37 Communicating the realness and immediacy (紧迫) of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to cut down what it causes. But it’s also the most important to communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. 38 That’s why Dior and other residents are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual (模拟) reality（VR） headsets and watch their homes be flooded.
39 It has partnered (合作) with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt (采用) a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different.
The VR program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step. 40 But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation (模拟) being used at Turner Station, says James, one of the program’s developers. “The goal,” he says, “is to start a conversation and help folks visualize (想象) the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and also discuss the trade-offs between them.”
A．Then, the baseball fields at Fleming Park.
B．For them, public support and input are needed.
C．VR is the product of the rapid development of it.
D．How do you show people and convince them of a possible future
E．Does the community depend on the shipping industry for its survival
F．Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare.
G．VR is an immersive (沉浸式的) experience that can trick the human brain into thinking it’s real.

8-year-old Evan was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter opening her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”.
85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day.
Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan Do you want flowers ” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me ”
“A job ” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him.
Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me ” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded.
Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better.
A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan I’d be delighted to have you here.”
“I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter.

Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom.

W: Sorry, but I don’t like an aisle seat.
3．C
【原文】W: How about going to Australia again
M: Not a chance. Flying is too exhausting when you arrive. You need two days to recover. It’s not worth it. I prefer to stay home and watch my favorite TV series.
4．B
【原文】W: What do you like about the area where you live
M: I find walking in the mountains very enjoyable and another good thing is the friendly neighbors. But I find the noise of cars very unpleasant.

W: And there were whales of all varieties out there.
6．B 7．B
【原文】M: Hey Suzanne, what are you doing now
W: I work in human resources. Now I’m in charge of training. Ah, that’s both for new employees and for employees who have already been here for a while. I find trainers, organize courses, things like that. Right now I’m planning the training program for next year. It’s the most important training program, so I am under a lot of pressure now. But I’m enjoying it.

【原文】M: Welcome to our program, Miss Johnson. Congratulations on winning the teacher of the year award.
W: Thank you, Peter. I’m more than happy to be here.
M: What inspired you to be a teacher Miss Johnson.
W: Well, I’ve always loved to learn, but I’ve enjoyed teaching others even more. It’s in the family.

M: Now, college graduates are being encouraged to start their own businesses. It sounds really good for us. We can get some valuable social experience, which will be helpful for our future jobs. We may also know more about ourselves and society better.
W: Yes, but it is not as easy as you imagine. There are a lot of problems. The main difficulty is money, and our education doesn’t provide enough knowledge on how to do it.
M: Maybe you are right, but our government allows college graduates to borrow money from banks, and maybe some can get money from their parents.
W: But you have to pay back the money sooner or later. So some college graduates prefer to live a peaceful life rather than start their own business through job hunting. It’s very competitive.
M: Oh, they don’t have dreams. But I have made up my mind. How about you
W: Well, it always takes time to consider before making a decision.

W: You are welcome.
18．A 19．C 20．B
【详解】M: Today we’ ll talk about Ernest Hemingway, the famous American writer. Like many great writers, many of Hemingway’s books and stories were based on his personal experiences. In 1923, he produced his first collection of short stories, and most of the stories related to his childhood. As we know, in his early twenties, Hemingway lived in Paris and knew many famous writers and artists there. So in his first novel, The Sun Also Rises, he wrote about those gifted but lonely and angry people. In 1929, he produced his fourth novel, A Farewell to Arms, which was based on his experiences during World War II. During World War I, he worked as a reporter in Europe, and he used these experiences to write Across the River and into the Trees. In 1952, he wrote a short novel, The Old Man and the Sea. For this book, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Why is it the best As I said, when he was younger, he used to go fishing with his father and in his later years, deep-sea fishing remained his favourite hobby. He was able to write a powerful story because of his own personal experiences.

(我没有回应。我一动不动地站着，仿佛我的鞋子被粘在了地板上。我从没想过要给任何人倒一杯，不管是不是主管。)”、第三段“I had seen with my own eyes what such behavior did to a woman. It happened to Mrs. Wilson next door. Old Mr. Wilson couldn’t put in his own false teeth without his wife’s assistance, let alone make himself lunch. It was a miserable union. I vowed by age eight that I would never live like her. I adopted the motto: Don’t help those who won’t help themselves. (我亲眼看到了这种行为对一个女人的影响。这件事发生在隔壁的威尔逊太太身上。没有妻子的帮助，老威尔逊连自己的假牙都装不上，更别说给自己做午饭了。这是一个悲惨的结合。我八岁时就发誓，我永远不会像她那样生活。我的座右铭是：不要帮助那些不会帮助自己的人。)”可知，作者提到威尔逊夫妇是解释她不愿意倒咖啡的原因，因为她不想违背自己座右铭。故选D。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I adopted the motto: Don’t help those who won’t help themselves. (我的座右铭是：不要帮助那些不会帮助自己的人。)”和第五段中的“Then I walked into the boss’ office with a cup of coffee in each hand. I handed my boss a cup of coffee and drank at the same time as him. ( 然后我走进老板的办公室，两只手各拿了一杯咖啡。我递给老板一杯咖啡，和他同时喝了起来)”可知，作者带两杯咖啡去见老板是表明她想分享而不是服务。故选A。
26．词句猜测题。根据前文““I do, too,” I said, and handed it to him across the table. “Thanks,” I added, looking at him expectantly.(“我也是。”我说着，隔着桌子递给了他。“谢谢。”我补充道，期待地看着他。)”可知，老板没想到作者会让自己去倒咖啡，这使他很震惊。所以staggered意为“震惊的”。A. Annoyed生气的；B. Shocked震惊的；C. Confused困惑的；D. Excited兴奋的。故选B。
27．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第四段中“Fortunately, I came up with an idea that would have the best of both worlds. (幸运的是，我想出了一个两全其美的主意)”可知，文章讲述了作者在不违背自己座右铭的前提下，完美地解决了老板要作者倒咖啡的事情。作者用明智的方法来维护了自己的原则。故选C。

29．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“More interesting still, people considered “overweight” could live longer than those who had “normal” weight. The study was met with a firestorm of doubt.(更有趣的是，被认为“超重”的人比体重“正常”的人活得更长。这项研究遭到了猛烈的质疑。)”可知，关于弗莱戈的研究调查结果超出了人们的预期。故选D项。
30．词句猜测题。根据上文“the annual(每年的) deaths related to obesity added up to just more than 100, 000.(每年与肥胖相关的死亡人数加起来刚刚超过10万人。)”和“You can report the same findings about obesity 100 times, and it can be called ‘unexpected’ every single time,” (关于肥胖，你可以报道100次同样的发现，但每一次都可以被称为“意外”)”可推知，第3段this指的是肥胖导致的大量死亡这一情况。故选C项。
31．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““We can’t be stuck in what we thought was true,” Caan says, “because then we’re never going to move the field forward.”(我们不能拘泥于我们认为正确的东西，”Caan说，“因为那样我们就永远无法推动这个领域向前发展。”)”可推知，打破限制性信念是必要的。故选B项。

33．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be more likely to be affected.”（研究发现，如果数学老师在教这门科目的时候感到焦虑，那么这种焦虑感是会带给小学生的，而且女孩更可能会受到这种影响。）可知，这项研究发现，老师教数学时感到焦虑，即缺乏教数学的自信，就会让学生也对学数学产生焦虑。故选D项。
34．推理判断题。根据第三段中David Robson所说的“But the fact that there’s no room for playing tricks might make you more worried about underperforming.”（但没有机会让你耍花招会让你更加担心考试考得不如意。），没有机会耍花招，说明学生在数学考试时比较难作弊。故选C项。
35．细节理解题。最后一段介绍了克服数学焦虑的几种方法，其中由最后一段的最后一句“Most importantly, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.”（最重要的是，我们需要积极看待数学，再给数学一次机会。）可知，克服数学焦虑最重要的是对数学的态度要积极向上。故选C项。

36．上文“Dior clicks a button and watches as her neighborhood is flooded. The shorelines are first to go.(Dior单击按钮，看着她的社区被洪水淹没。海岸线是第一个被摧毁的)”提到洪水首先摧毁了海岸线，A项“然后是弗莱明公园的棒球场”说明洪水在摧毁海岸线之后，又毁了棒球场。上文有“first”，A项有“then”，语意连贯，为先后顺序。故选A项。
37．根据上文“Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most bothersome(气候变化给沿海社区和那些设法为其影响而做着准备的人带来了许多挑战，但其中最基本也是最麻烦的之一)”可知，空处应是解释最基本也是最麻烦的那个挑战，D项“你如何向人们展示并说服他们相信一个可能的未来”符合语境，故选D项。
38．根据下文“That’s why Dior and other residents are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual (模拟) reality (VR) headsets and watch their homes be flooded.(这就是为什么Dior和其他居民被要求坐在金属椅子，戴上VR耳机，观看着家园被洪水淹没)”可知，空处应说明居民观看洪水淹没社区的虚拟场景的原因，B项“这些项目需要公众的支持和投入”符合语境，与下文构成因果关系，故选B项。
39．下文“It has partnered (合作) with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt (采用) a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different.(它和巴尔的摩港，一些非营利组织和当地的景观建筑公司合作，采用一系列通信工具和通信方式向公众传递气候变化，因为每个人都是不同的，每个地方都是不同的)”描述为向公众传递气候变化而作出的努力，F项“Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare.(Turner Station是一个容易被洪水淹没的社区，正努力做好准备)”符合语境，下文的主语“It”指代F项的“Turner Station”，故选F项。
40．根据上文“The VR program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step.(VR项目只是最近的，也许是最有效的一步)”和下文“But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation (模拟) being used at Turner Station, says James, one of the program’s developers.(但是欺骗人们并不是Turner Station使用的海平面上升模拟的目标，James说，他是程序的开发者之一)”可知，上文提到虚拟现实技术是最有效的一步，下文出现转折，表明欺骗不是使用虚拟现实的目标，故空处应是提及虚拟现实的欺骗性，G项“虚拟现实是一种沉浸式的体验，它可以欺骗人类的大脑，使其认为这是真实的”符合语境，虚拟现实虽然具有欺骗性，但运用虚拟现实展示气候变化带来的洪水泛滥场景，不是用来骗人的，而是为了提高居民对气候变化的真实性和即时性的认识。故选G项。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了宋代著名的学者苏轼——他的文学成就和对待生活的态度等。
56．考查副词。句意：苏轼是宋代著名的学者，在诗歌、散文和绘画方面都受到高度评价。根据句意和空格后的thought以及所给形容词high分析句子可知，空格处应该填入high的副词形式highly作状语，修饰后面的thought。故填highly。
57．考查名词。句意：21岁时，他清新的散文风格为他赢得了欧阳修的认可。根据句意和空格前的动词earned以及所给动词recognize分析句子可知，空格处应该填入recognize的名词形式recognition作动词earn的宾语(earn somebody something)。故填recognition。
58．考查时态。句意：他说苏轼的作品是杰出的。根据句意和所给动词say分析句子可知，空格处是该句子的谓语部分，根据后面从句的时态是一般过去时可知，主句也应该用一般过去时。故填said。
59．考查连词。句意：然而，在他的政治梦想实现之前，他不得不离开他的职位回家。根据句意分析句子可知，　　　4　　　his political dream was realized是一个状语从句，所以空格处应该填入一个连词；根据下文的he had to leave his position and return home可知，这应该指的是他的政治梦想实现之前的事。故填before。
60．考查冠词。句意：突然下起了一场雨，同伴们都跑去避雨，苏轼笑了起来，好像完全不知道有雨似的。根据句意和空格后的单数可数名词shower分析句子可知，空格处应该填入一个不定冠词，表示数量，因为空格后的sudden发音是辅音音素开头，所以应该用不定冠词a。故填a。
61．考查定语从句。句意：小路两旁长着树木，雨点落下时，树叶发出柔和的声音。根据句意和空格后的leaves分析句子可知，空格后的部分是一个定语从句，对先行词trees进行限定说明，所以空格处应该填入一个关系代词作定语，修饰leaves，且意义为“它们的”，所以应该用关系代词whose。故填whose。
62．考查状语从句的省略。句意：他穿着湿衣服，边走边唱着欢快的歌。根据句意和空格前的while分析句子可知，while后面的部分本应该是一个状语从句（while he was singing a happy song），该状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致，且从句中有be动词，符合状语从句省略的条件，可以把从句的主语和be动词省略。故填singing。
63．考查形容词。句意：这时他突然想到：“只要披一件草编的雨披，我就可以平静地度过这一生。根据句意和空格后的名词mind以及所给名词peace分析句子可知，空格处应该填入peace的形容词形式peaceful作定语，修饰后面的mind。故填peaceful。
64．考查介词。句意：苏轼乐观开放的生活态度确保了他在政治上起起落落的情况下仍能取得进步。根据句意和空格前的名词attitude分析句子可知，此处是考查名词attitude与介词to或towards的搭配attitude to/towards（对……的态度）。故填to或towards。

66．Popular Books Among Students
As can be seen from the chart, diverse sorts of books hold different proportions. Science, accounting for 43% enjoys the greatest popularity among students, while the classics, ranking the fourth place, wins the hearts of 13% students. The proportions of comics and Sports & Music occupy 26% and 18% respectively.
The phenomenon above may result from the following factors. First of all, not only does Science have tight bonds with Physics and Biology, but it also is equipped with adequate imagination, inspiring our passionate desire to explore the world. Additionally, interesting illustrations are added to the comics, which provides a fabulous feast for eyes.
Personally, I suggest students should read more classics, which accumulates the wisdom and spirits from ancestors, thus having a deeper insight into the pearl of literature.
67．Paragraph 1:
Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom. “Happy birthday, Mom!” he cried, running up to her. Stacey was shocked at the huge bouquet. “Where did you get it ” she asked. When Evan told the whole story, Stacey was delighted and hugged her son closely. Evan smiled and was about to give her the bouquet when he suddenly noticed the envelope. He pulled it out and found the money in it. “But I told Mrs. Carter not to pay me! I think this got here by mistake!” said Evan.
Paragraph 2:
Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. When they reached her shop and were about to return the money, Mrs. Carter smiled and said, “It’s my pay for Evan. He did a very good job. Keep it. The flowers are my gift for you.” Stacey was grateful for Mrs. Carter’s kindness and invited her home for dinner that night to celebrate her birthday together. From then on, Stacey started to join Evan in helping Mrs. Carter in her shop and they became friends.
