　　A librarian in Indonesia’s Java Island is lending books to children in exchange for rubbish they collect in a novel way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more.Each weekday， Raden Roro Hendarti rides her three-wheeler with books stored up at the back for children in Muntang village in exchange for plastic cups， bags and other waste that she carries back.
　　She told Reuters she is helping develop reading habits of the kids as well as make them aware of the environment.As soon as she shows up， little children， many accompanied by their mothers， surround her “Rubbish Library” and ask for the books.They are all carrying rubbish bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out.She is happy that the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result.
　　Raden said，“Let us build a culture of literacy （读写能力） from young age to reduce the harm of the online world.We should also take care of our waste in order to fight climate change and to save the earth from rubbish.” She collects about 100 kilograms of waste each week， which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold.She has a stock of 6，000 books to lend.
　　Kevin Alamsyah， an eager 11-year-old reader， searches for waste lying in the village.“When there is too much rubbish， our environment will become dirty.That’s why I look for rubbish to borrow a book，” he says.
　　The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia has been around 96 percent， though a report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic would leave more than 80 percent of 15-year-olds below the minimum reading level.
24.What does Raden bring to the children every time？（　　）
A.Cups. B.Bags.
C.Rubbish. D.Books.
25.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to？（　　）

C.The kids. D.The books.
26.Which of the following can best describe Raden？（　　）
A.Strict. B.Honest.
C.Helpful. D.Beautiful.

C.To get along with Raden. D.To improve his reading level.
C
　　Doing business nowadays without a cell phone？ Even a very private life？ I can’t imagine it anymore.
　　Journalist Chris Stokel-Walker explained it very well： for the average working person， there’s no greater feeling than powering down your computer and kissing goodbye to your work emails for the day.If we’re lucky enough to disconnect from the job on evenings and weekends， we’re overjoyed to leave work email and the stress that comes with it in the office.
　　But experts say we’re increasingly failing to do so， instead bringing the burden home with us and dealing with emails during our free time.Unsurprisingly， this routine has some serious consequences.
　　Now， it is a reflex， like checking my Facebook or Twitter.Yes， it’s indeed so — but never 24/7.
　　Working long hours have long been linked with depression， anxiety and even heart disease.The importance of weekend recovery has also been linked with weekly job performance and personal energy.While further research revealed psychological detachment （分离） during off-work time reduced emotional tiredness caused by high job demands and helped people stay engaged.
　　So， if we know all this， it begs the question： why are we still letting work invade our precious weekends？
　　According to Cary Cooper， professor of organizational psychology at Manchester Business School， the recent trend even spills into the way we access our work communications and projects.
　　Today， says Cooper， work emails are just a tap of a smartphone away.“You don’t carry your laptop around when you’re out to dinner， but you do carry your mobile phone，” he says.“The smartphone changed everything.In many cases， what is gained does not make up for what is lost.”
　　If we don’t switch off from work， we don’t recover from work.We should get the right being disconnected.At night or during weekends.
28.What does Chris Stokel-Walker try to stress？（　　）
A.The importance of working hard. B.The pleasure of completing work.
C.The joy of working on something. D.The power of modern technology.
29.What do the underlined words “this routine” in Paragraph 3 refer to？（　　）
A.Working at home. B.Being out of work.
C.Using a cell phone. D.Working after work.
30.What does Cary Cooper think of working extra hours？（　　）
A.It’s necessary. B.It’s rewarding.
C.It isn’t common. D.It isn’t worthwhile.
31.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage？（　　）
A.To advocate the right to disconnect. B.To stress the necessity of working hard.
C.To explain why people work long hours. D.To prove why the smartphone is popular.
D
　　What is the secret to the world’s most creative minds — the minds of resourceful inventors， innovative scientists and inspired artists？ Are they simply lucky to be born with the right genes？ Most studies suggest that only about ten percent of creativity is determined by a person’s genes.
　　So what are the requirements for creativity？ First of all， creativity takes time.We tend to think of breakthroughs as coming in a sudden flash of brilliance， but this is rarely the case.Ideas often develop and form over a long period.In fact， many of history’s most creative people have a reputation as daydreamers or procrastinators.Martin Luther King， Jr， reportedly wrote his “I Have a Dream” speech at ten o’clock the night before he delivered it， but it had gone through a long period of “preparation and incubation” in his mind before that.
　　In a surprising twist， creativity may also be sparked by suffering.We can see this in the lives of many great creative geniuses.Artist Paul Klee suffered great pain for much of his life as did many other artists， and composer Johann Sebastian Bach lost both his parents when he was only nine years old.
　　Those investigating the sources of creativity have noted that some creative geniuses do not always fit in well with social norms.They don’t seem able to suppress the fountain of ideas that bubble up in their minds， some of which may seem inappropriate to others.Creative people are also curious.They seem wired to seek novelty and take risks.As children， creative people are often unable to sit still， unable to focus on their lessons， instead， always looking for something new and interesting to capture their attention.
　　The search for the source of creativity continues.Most researchers agree that the answer will be complex and that there is probably no single characteristic which can explain the world’s most creative minds.
32.Martin Luther King’s speech is mentioned to show 　　　　.（　　）
A.creative people magic up ideas
B.the creative process requires time
C.right genes contribute to creativity
D.the last-minute pressure brings breakthroughs
33.How does the author prove his point in the 3rd paragraph？（　　）
A.By quoting sayings. B.By making comparisons.
C.By providing examples. D.By analyzing a phenomenon.
34.Which of the following signs do creative kids probably exhibit？（　　）
A.Lack of curiosity. B.High activity level.
C.Distraction-free mode. D.Good adaptation skills.
35.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？（　　）
A.To reveal the secrets of brilliant inventions.
B.To present the sufferings of artistic geniuses.
C.To explore the characteristics of creative minds.
D.To introduce the achievements of innovative scientists.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
　　阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　Winston Churchill said， “We make a living by what we get， but we make a life by what we give.” Or in the simple， beautiful words of an old Chinese proverb： “36.（　　） If you want happiness for a day， go fishing.If you want happiness for a year， inherit a fortune.If you want happiness for a lifetime， help somebody.”
　　37.（　　） A study by Professor Elizabeth Dunn of the University of British Columbia found that spending money on others promotes happiness more than spending money on oneself.In an experiment， participants were given an envelope containing either five or twenty dollars.Participants who spent the money on a gift for someone else or for a charitable donation reported greater happiness than those who spent the money on themselves.
　　We hear throughout history， philosophy， and literature the same themes regarding giving.38.（　　） It’s the source of true happiness， the meaning of life， the source of the greatest emotional and psychological returns.It’s the best way to recover from the worst tragedies.It’s a greater pleasure than the creation of wealth and the most direct route to happiness.
　　39.（　　） What provides a feeling of security.What provides a sense of accomplishment.What gives inner peace.What brings great meaning， fulfillment， and happiness.
　　40.（　　） Perhaps it is because we have not heard enough stories of how happy it can make us — stories from people we admire.I have had the privilege of meeting many of these people through my work.I’d heard their stories of how giving their time， resources， and talents to the causes they care about has brought them happiness and fulfillment far greater than they had ever imagined.
A.So why don’t more of us give？
B.Giving is what liberates the soul.
C.Is it better to give than to receive？
D.If you want happiness for an hour， take a nap.
E.Modern science has proved this phenomenon.
F.Giving is the most satisfying thing you’ll ever do.
G.Some people are in the habit of taking instead of giving.

　　Christmas Day was coming.I was just a kid then， and my elder sister told me there was no Santa Claus.I fled to my grandma because she would be straight with me.I knew Grandma always told me the truth.Grandma was home， and I told her everything.She was ready for me.“No Santa Claus！” She shouted.“Ridiculous！ Don’t believe it.” That rumor has been going around for years， and it makes me mad， plain mad.
　　“Now， put on your coat， and let’s go.”
　　“Go where， Grandma？” I asked.“Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store， the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything.As we walked through its doors， Grandma handed me ten dollars.“Take this money，” she said， “and buy something for someone who needs it.I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s.
　　I was only eight years old.I’d often gone shopping with my mother， but never had I shopped for anything all by myself.The store seemed big and crowded， full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping.For a few moments I just stood there， confused， holding that ten-dollar bill， wondering what to buy and who to buy it for.I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker， who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair.He sat right behind me in Mrs Pollock’s grade-two class.
　　Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat.I knew that because he never went out for recess during the winter.His mother always wrote a note， telling the teacher that he had a cough， but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough， and he didn’t have a coat.I would buy Bobby Decker a coat！ I settled on a red one， which looked really warm， and he would like that.
　　“Is this a Christmas present for someone？” the lady behind the counter asked kindly， as I laid my ten dollars down.“Yes.”
　　The nice lady smiled at me， put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

　　Would it be possible for us to meet in our classroom at 5 p.m.this Friday？ We are looking forward to your reply.

　　Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open and finally it opened.Out went Bobby Decker.Seeing the coat in the bag， he looked very astonished and then called his mother to go out.After hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus， I felt very proud of what I had done.At that time I decided to be Santa’s helper for ever.It was on that night that I realised the truth that he who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas under a tree.

M：Can I borrow your car for a few hours this afternoon， Sue？
W：Sure， Bill.But I need it back by 5：00.
M：I’ll have it back by 4：30.
（Text 2）
M：Do you usually go to work by taxi？
W：Well， the company is so close to my home that I often go there on
foot， except when I’m in a hurry.
（Text 3）
W：Daddy， I have decided to give up science and go to business school.
M：Well， it is your choice， but I should warn you that not everyone
with a business degree will be a successful manager.
（Text 4）
W：Let’s get something to drink and then go to see the elephants.
M：But the dolphin show starts in two minutes.I really want to see
that.We can get a cup of tea afterwards.
W：Good idea.
（Text 5）
W：Did you go to the bookstore， Andy？
M：Yes， but they didn’t have all the things I wanted to buy.
W：Not even your superhero book？
M：I got that， but my football magazine won’t arrive until Tuesday，
so I’ll buy one then.
（Text 6）
W：What are you doing this weekend？How about going to the movies？
M：Sorry.I’m broke.I guess I’ll just hang out at home， probably
study and watch the tube.
W：That’s too bad.The same thing happened to me last month.I was
short of money after my birthday.
（Text 7）
M：So， Sophie， are you going on holiday with your family this
summer？
W：Yeah， we’re going to Florida two days after the end of the
term.We finish this term on June 28th， right？
M：That’s right ...so who’s going？
W：Mum and Dad， obviously ...but my sister’s not coming this
year， just my little brother.
M：Oh well， nothing’s perfect！What are you doing there？
W：We’re spending a week in Orlando， you know， visiting all the
theme parks.Then we’re staying in another place near Orlando called the
Everglades.
M：What’s that？
W：It’s a nature reserve， with crocodiles and birds and other
animals.We’re going camping！
M：It sounds really cool！You are so lucky！
W：I know.I can’t wait！
（Text 8）

W：Now， make a note here if you find anything wrong.
M：Well， it all looks pretty good.Uh， there’s a small scratch right
here.
W：Okay， just mark that on the form， and that way， we know when
you return the car that you didn’t cause the damage.

sending me to Argentina next year， and I want to be able to communicate
with the people there.
W：That’s great.How’s it going so far？
M：It’s pretty hard.I took French in school， but I was never good at
it， even though I studied every day.Spanish isn’t any easier.Can you
speak another language？
W：I can speak a bit of Italian.I think you really have to live in another
country to learn the language.
M：Yeah.I want to get the basics down with this class， but I’m hoping
I’ll really learn how to speak Spanish when I live in South America.Did
you study Thai while you were in Thailand？
W：No.I went to the US Institute of Thailand， so we only spoke
English.
M：You have to communicate with the local people！No wonder you
didn’t learn Thai.
（Text 10）
M：Attention， all students.By now， all of you have heard about the
event that happened at Coolidge Hall last weekend.On Saturday night at
about 11：00， two freshmen reported that their TV， DVD player， and
both of their computers were stolen from their dorm room.Their Samsung
TV and DVD player together are valued at $600， but their Apple
computers are each valued at $1，000.Because the total value of these
goods is over $500， it is the most serious type of crime.So far，
campus security and the local police have been unable to find the stolen
items or the thieves.We need your help.If you were in the area of
Coolidge Hall at the time of the robbery， and you think you saw
something， please contact campus security at 658-2230.You can also
stop by one of the three offices on campus 24 hours a day.Please do not
contact the local police department directly.They are very busy with other
cases，
and they have asked that all information about this case go through campus
security.Please keep an eye out for the items.Whoever took them probably
wants to sell them before taking anything else.If you are offered some
“used” electronics that match the description of the stolen goods，
please call us right away.In the meantime， we are adding extra security
staff around the dormitories， but please be especially careful with your
valuable items.

　　There is a new coffee shop in London： Ziferblat.Here is some
information about it.
　　Billing
　　You can stay for as long as you like in the Ziferblat coffee
shop.You’ll be given a clock when you come in to keep timing.When
you leave， you return the item and pay the bill.The cost is 3 pence （便
士） per minute or ￡1.8 an hour.
　　Offering
　　The shop’s owner， Ivan Meetin， says， “Everything is free，
except the time you spend here.” Customers help themselves to coffee
and cookies.They can also bring their own food to eat while accessing the
Internet through Wi-Fi.
　　Atmosphere
　　Meetin’s customers clearly are not the types who rush to work with
a paper cup to drink from at their desks.They are there for
atmosphere.The new coffee shop’s atmosphere is relaxing.Informality is
at the heart of Meetin’s concept.Meetin believes his coffee shop is a bit
like “social media” and like-minded people go there to socialise.
　　Reflection
　　The concept of coffee shops， where you pay for the time and not for
the cup， has proved popular in Russia.Ziferblat is part of a Russian
chain.As for London’s chain， only time will tell if the British will
warm to the idea.

　　A librarian in Indonesia’s Java Island is lending books to children in
exchange for rubbish they collect in a novel way to clean up the
environment and get the kids to read more.Each weekday， Raden Roro
Hendarti rides her three-wheeler with books stored up at the back for
children in Muntang village in exchange for plastic cups， bags and other
waste that she carries back.
　　She told Reuters she is helping develop reading habits of the kids as
well as make them aware of the environment.As soon as she shows up，
little children， many accompanied by their mothers， surround her
“Rubbish Library” and ask for the books.They are all carrying rubbish
bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books
fly out.She is happy that the kids are going to spend less time on online
games as a result.
　　Raden said，“Let us build a culture of literacy （读写能力） from
young age to reduce the harm of the online world.We should also take care
of our waste in order to fight climate change and to save the earth from
rubbish.” She collects about 100 kilograms of waste each week， which
is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold.She has
a stock of 6，000 books to lend.
　　Kevin Alamsyah， an eager 11-year-old reader， searches for waste
lying in the village.“When there is too much rubbish， our environment
will become dirty.That’s why I look for rubbish to borrow a book，”
he says.
　　The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia has been around
96 percent， though a report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic
would leave more than 80 percent of 15-year-olds below the minimum
reading level.

　　Doing business nowadays without a cell phone？ Even a very private
life？ I can’t imagine it anymore.
　　Journalist Chris Stokel-Walker explained it very well： for the
average working person， there’s no greater feeling than powering down
your computer and kissing goodbye to your work emails for the day.If
we’re lucky enough to disconnect from the job on evenings and
weekends， we’re overjoyed to leave work email and the stress that
comes with it in the office.
　　But experts say we’re increasingly failing to do so， instead
bringing the burden home with us and dealing with emails during our free
time.Unsurprisingly， this routine has some serious consequences.
　　Now， it is a reflex， like checking my Facebook or Twitter.Yes，
it’s indeed so — but never 24/7.
　　Working long hours have long been linked with depression， anxiety
and even heart disease.The importance of weekend recovery has also been
linked with weekly job performance and personal energy.While further
research revealed psychological detachment （分离） during off-work
time reduced emotional tiredness caused by high job demands and helped
people stay engaged.
　　So， if we know all this， it begs the question： why are we still
letting work invade our precious weekends？
　　According to Cary Cooper， professor of organizational psychology
at Manchester Business School， the recent trend even spills into the way
we access our work communications and projects.
　　Today， says Cooper， work emails are just a tap of a smartphone
away.“You don’t carry your laptop around when you’re out to
dinner， but you do carry your mobile phone，” he says.“The
smartphone changed everything.In many cases， what is gained does not
make up for what is lost.”
　　If we don’t switch off from work， we don’t recover from
work.We should get the right being disconnected.At night or during
weekends.

　　What is the secret to the world’s most creative minds — the minds
of resourceful inventors， innovative scientists and inspired artists？ Are
they simply lucky to be born with the right genes？ Most studies suggest
that only about ten percent of creativity is determined by a person’s
genes.
　　So what are the requirements for creativity？ First of all， creativity
takes time.We tend to think of breakthroughs as coming in a sudden flash
of brilliance， but this is rarely the case.Ideas often develop and form
over a long period.In fact， many of history’s most creative people have
a reputation as daydreamers or procrastinators.Martin Luther King， Jr，
reportedly wrote his “I Have a Dream” speech at ten o’clock the night
before he delivered it， but it had gone through a long period of
“preparation and incubation” in his mind before that.
　　In a surprising twist， creativity may also be sparked by
suffering.We can see this in the lives of many great creative
geniuses.Artist Paul Klee suffered great pain for much of his life as did
many other artists， and composer Johann Sebastian Bach lost both his
parents when he was only nine years old.
　　Those investigating the sources of creativity have noted that some
creative geniuses do not always fit in well with social norms.They don’t
seem able to suppress the fountain of ideas that bubble up in their minds，
some of which may seem inappropriate to others.Creative people are also
curious.They seem wired to seek novelty and take risks.As children，
creative people are often unable to sit still， unable to focus on their
lessons， instead， always looking for something new and interesting to
capture their attention.
　　The search for the source of creativity continues.Most researchers
agree that the answer will be complex and that there is probably no single
characteristic which can explain the world’s most creative minds.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
　　阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选
项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　Winston Churchill said， “We make a living by what we get， but
we make a life by what we give.” Or in the simple， beautiful words of
an old Chinese proverb： “36.（　　） If you want happiness for a
day， go fishing.If you want happiness for a year， inherit a fortune.If
you want happiness for a lifetime， help somebody.”
　　37. （　　） A study by Professor Elizabeth Dunn of the University
of British Columbia found that spending money on others promotes
happiness more than spending money on oneself.In an experiment，
participants were given an envelope containing either five or twenty
dollars.Participants who spent the money on a gift for someone else or for
a charitable donation reported greater happiness than those who spent the
money on themselves.
　　We hear throughout history， philosophy， and literature the same
themes regarding giving.38.（　　） It’s the source of true
happiness， the meaning of life， the source of the greatest emotional and
psychological returns.It’s the best way to recover from the worst
tragedies.It’s a greater pleasure than the creation of wealth and the most
direct route to happiness.
　　39. （　　） What provides a feeling of security.What provides a
sense of accomplishment.What gives inner peace.What brings great
meaning， fulfillment， and happiness.
　　40.（　　） Perhaps it is because we have not heard enough stories
of how happy it can make us — stories from people we admire.I have had
the privilege of meeting many of these people through my work.I’d
heard their stories of how giving their time， resources， and talents to the
causes they care about has brought them happiness and fulfillment far
greater than they had ever imagined.
A. So why don’t more of us give？
B. Giving is what liberates the soul.
C. Is it better to give than to receive？
D. If you want happiness for an hour， take a nap.
E. Modern science has proved this phenomenon.
F. Giving is the most satisfying thing you’ll ever do.
G. Some people are in the habit of taking instead of giving.

36. D　下文的一组排比句都是“If you ...＋祈使句”这一句式和表
达，由此可知，D项符合语境。
37. E　下文作者引用了一项科学研究，来支撑自己前面陈述的观
点，由此可知，E项符合语境。
38. F　下文各句都以It’s开头，进一步阐述给予的力量；显然，It都
指代本段中的giving一词（也是本文的关键词），故F项符合语境。
39. B　本段在继续阐述给予的神奇力量，这里之所以选B项是因为表
语从句what liberates the soul与后面的What引起的句子形成并列。其实
这几个并列的句子都相当于前面省略了Giving is的表语从句。
40. A　下句中的Perhaps it is because暗示上句应该是提出了一个问原
因的疑问句，故A项符合语境。

无数选择。虽然电子词典非常流行，但作者却更喜欢纸质词典。
56. defining　根据介词on可知，设空处应该用动词-ing形式，故填
defining。
57. that/which　本空格前的dictionary是一个先行词，因此后面用关系
代词that/which引导定语从句。
58. are made　因为词典是“被制作”，而且是一个客观事实，因此
这里用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语These books表示复数，故填are
made。
59. choice　本空格前的wide是一个形容词，因此后面应用名词形
式。
60. and　see it与hear it是并列关系，因此设空处应用并列连词and。
61. when/if　本空格后是一个完整的句子，因此应用连词when/if来引
导时间或条件状语从句。
62. takes　本句在描述一个客观事实，且主语是动词-ing短语，因此
用一般现在时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填takes。
63. strongly　本空格后面的suggest是一个动词，因此应用副词
strongly来修饰它。
64. an　可数名词dictionary前需要一个不定冠词来表示泛指。English
的发音以元音音素开头，故填an。
65. better　根据than可知，作者将paper （book） dictionaries与
electronic dictionaries进行对比，因此用形容词good的比较级形式。

Dear Miss Evans，
　　I was wondering if you could guide us to revise a short play adapted
from our English textbook.
　　The story， The Million Pound Bank Note， is about the adventure of
a poor young man who was given a million pound bank note by two rich
gentlemen.When adapting the play， we met some difficulties.Could you
kindly give us guidance on two aspects？ Firstly， we hope that you can
check the use of the language for us.Secondly， please give us some
direction on our acting and tones.
　　Would it be possible for us to meet in our classroom at 5 p.m.this
Friday？ We are looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely，

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。
　　Christmas Day was coming.I was just a kid then， and my elder
sister told me there was no Santa Claus.I fled to my grandma because she
would be straight with me.I knew Grandma always told me the
truth.Grandma was home， and I told her everything.She was ready for
me.“No Santa Claus！” She shouted.“Ridiculous！ Don’t believe
it.” That rumor has been going around for years， and it makes me
mad， plain mad.
　　“Now， put on your coat， and let’s go.”
　　“Go where， Grandma？” I asked.“Where” turned out to be
Kerby’s General Store， the one store in town that had a little bit of just
about everything.As we walked through its doors， Grandma handed me
ten dollars.“Take this money，” she said， “and buy something for
someone who needs it.I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and
walked out of Kerby’s.
　　I was only eight years old.I’d often gone shopping with my
mother， but never had I shopped for anything all by myself.The store
seemed big and crowded， full of people competing to finish their
Christmas shopping.For a few moments I just stood there， confused，
holding that ten-dollar bill， wondering what to buy and who to buy it
for.I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker， who was a kid with bad breath
and messy hair.He sat right behind me in Mrs Pollock’s grade-two class.
　　Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat.I knew that because he never went
out for recess during the winter.His mother always wrote a note， telling
the teacher that he had a cough， but we kids knew that Bobby Decker
didn’t have a cough， and he didn’t have a coat.I would buy Bobby
Decker a coat！ I settled on a red one， which looked really warm， and
he would like that.
　　“Is this a Christmas present for someone？” the lady behind the
counter asked kindly， as I laid my ten dollars down.“Yes.”
　　The nice lady smiled at me， put the coat in a bag and wished me a
Merry Christmas.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
　　That evening， Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas
paper. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front
door to open and finally it opened. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
参考范文：
　　That evening， Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas
paper.She wrote “To Bobby， From Santa Claus” on it， after which
she drove me over to Bobby Decker’s house， explaining I was officially
one of Santa’s helpers.Grandma parked near Bobby’s house， and I
took a deep breath， and dashed for his front door.Seeing no other people
notice us， I put the Christmas present down， pounded his doorbell and
then Grandma and I hid in the car.
　　Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to
open and finally it opened.Out went Bobby Decker.Seeing the coat in the
bag， he looked very astonished and then called his mother to go
out.After hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus， I felt very proud
of what I had done.At that time I decided to be Santa’s helper for ever.It
was on that night that I realised the truth that he who has no Christmas in
his heart will never find Christmas under a tree.
