　　In 1945， scientist Maisie Carr stood a fence around 5 hectares of peatland on Victoria’s Bogong High Plains.
　　That fence would form the first of Maisie’s Plots， two sites where things were watched.They are still used by scientists today and have recently been added to the Victorian Heritage Register.It’s one of Australia’s longest-running ecological experiments （生态实验）， and it began with a true pioneer who had to learn to ride a horse to carry out her work.
　　Born in 1912 in Footscray， Melbourne， Maisie showed her scientific ability as a student and was awarded scholarships to Melbourne High School and the University of Melbourne.In 1941 she was employed by the university to research soil erosion （土壤侵蚀） in Victoria’s High Country.
　　She set up Maisie’s Plots — one at Rocky Valley and one at Pretty Valley — to see how cattle influenced the plant life on peatland and grassland.At each site， Maisie fenced off one area to keep cattle out， and marked another nearby area.The fenced and unfenced areas were regularly checked for types and amounts of plants， to assess the influence of cattle.This led to stricter controls on cattle eating plants in the area， and finally it was cancelled altogether.
　　Dr Manifold， Maisie’s nephew， said Maisie’s many letters showed her ability to adapt to a new and challenging environment.“She made many cattlemen friends， but some cattlemen were concerned that the agreements that allow them to use the High Plains land were at risk because of her， so there were disagreements too， which she managed quite well， I think.”
　　John Morgan， from La Trobe University， has been watching over Maisie’s Plots since 1989.He said Maisie’s experiment showed what would later happen when cattle were not allowed to eat the plants on the High Plains after the 2003 bush fires.
　　The next generation of scientists have continued to watch over the sites’ recovery since the cattle were taken away.And they do it using the same method Maisie thought of back in the 1940s， to make sure the data is comparable.“No one thought 75 years ago we’d still be doing this，” Dr Morgan said.“Generations of students and researchers have been educated at Maisie’s Plots.”
28.Why did Maisie set up the fence？
A.To raise animals. B.To do her research.
C.To learn horse riding. D.To divide the locals’ fields.
29.What did Maisie do on the two sites of Maisie’s Plots？
A.She planted several types of grass. B.She kept animals away from them.
C.She tried to prevent water and soil loss. D.She examined the effects of cattle on them.
30.What did Dr Manifold say about Maisie？
A.She met with some troubles. B.She suffered from homesickness.
C.She couldn’t get on with the locals. D.She couldn’t adapt to new environments.
31.What does Dr Morgan think of Maisie’s Plots？
A.They hold great cultural value. B.They should be protected and spread.
C.They serve as models for scientists today. D.They contribute greatly to wildfire prevention.

　　The story about horses in North America told in several written histories is in need of an update， according to a new study.After examining archaeological remains （考古遗骸） of horses， researchers suggest Indigenous peoples （土著居民） had spread the animals through the American West by the first half of the 1600s — before they met Europeans.
　　The findings line up with oral histories from Indigenous groups， which tell of interactions with horses before settlers arrived in their homelands.Meanwhile， written European texts from the 1700s and 1800s stated that horses only spread through the area after 1680.
　　Horses originated in the Americas around four million years ago， but by about 10，000 years ago， they had mostly disappeared from the record.Spanish settlers likely first brought horses back to the Americas in 1519.According to the new study， Indigenous peoples then transported horses north along trade networks.
　　To find when the animals spread， researchers examined the remains of more than twenty horses discovered across the Western US rather than simply walking around the countryside on their own， the horses appear to have been part of Native American culture.Signs of teeth problems on one horse and growths on the bones of the head of another suggested people had put bridles （马勒） on the animals.Certain chemical elements （化学元素） in the animals’ teeth suggested they ate maize， an Indigenous plant.And another horse had a previously broken facial bone that had fully recovered， meaning it might have received medical treatment.
　　Researchers compared the ancient horses’ DNA with that of modern horses and found that the centuries-old horses had largely Spanish origins.Together， the findings suggest horses spread “from Spanish settlements in the American Southwest to the northern Rockies and central Great Plains by the first half of the 17th century”.
　　The findings also highlight the importance of Indigenous oral traditions in understanding history.“Our cultures have been so misunderstood for so long，”says co-author Yvette Collin.“Too often history has been told around us， without us.”
32.What needs to be updated according to the new study？
A.When horses showed up in the Americas. B.Who introduced horses to North America.
C.When Native Americans first met Europeans. D.Who spread horses through the American West.
33.What did researchers find out about ancient horses from the remains？
A.They had hardly any Spanish origins. B.They were born with tooth disease.
C.They played a role in natives’ lives. D.They were badly treated by natives.
34.What does Collin think of oral histories？
A.They spread easily. B.They show the truth.
C.They pass down traditions. D.They unite Indigenous groups.
35.What is the best title for the text？
A.Written Texts Explain Human-horse Interactions
B.Oral Histories Help Us Understand Indigenous Cultures
C.New Research Rewrites the History of American Horses
D.Archaeological Remains Are the Key to Learning about the Past

　　You are enjoying a nice dream until your alarm suddenly goes off.　36　 Is your clock out of control？No.It’s just winter， making the sun rise later so it will be twice as hard to crawl out of bed into the cold darkness.

　　Buy a wake-up light.If you still have trouble with dark mornings， it might be time to introduce more light into your room.　39　
　　Give yourself something to look forward to.　40　 Sure， you might have to get up for work， but you’ll want to be awake if you are expecting a delicious breakfast， or a workout that is actually fun.

　　Actually， Luz was shy and didn’t want to talk about her difficulties using the school bathrooms.But her deskmate Lavonne encouraged her to speak out about it.Luz was very nervous， so she took a deep breath.

　　“Well， can’t you just ask for help when you use the bathroom？” a girl asked.

W：Good morning， boys and girls.As we know， in the past years our school held many competitions successfully every year， like Singing Competition and Dancing Competition.In fact I do know most of the students will want to have the Reading Competition as was held last year.But， now we’ll have something that may be much more fun.It’s the Pet Competition！ Well， in fact， it aims at letting all students know the importance of loving animals.Nowadays， too many people can’t treat animals so well.They do not think carefully before getting a pet.
At the competition， you will not be disappointed because our teachers will not give you boring lessons to ask you to love animals.Instead， we can all learn something from a relaxing environment.There’s a dog beauty contest and we will choose the best dog.The competition will be based on the dogs’ ability.Unfortunately this competition is not open to your pets this year.Our school has selected five dogs for this competition.That means， we can just sit back and enjoy.So please come to join this event and vote for your favourite dogs！ How can you afford to miss such an educational and fun event of the year？

24.C　词义猜测题。根据画线词下文中的Not only is she a great guitar player， but she’s also a beautiful singer！可知，6岁的Miumiu不仅是一位出色的吉他手，而且还是一位出色的歌手。因此，她的音乐“才能”远远超过她的年龄。
25.A　细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，在该视频中，Miumiu自弹自唱了Fly Me To The Moon这首歌。倒数第二段中的Beautifully sung and played.也是提示。
26.B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中三位网友对该视频的评论可知，他们都毫不吝啬地赞扬了Miumiu的音乐才华。
27.A　推理判断题。在最后一段中，作者指出Miumiu正在成名的路上，尽管她对我们（粉丝）来说已经是明星了。她的父母一定很（为她）骄傲，并鼓励Miumiu永远不要停止做她喜欢的事（即音乐）。由此可推知，作者认为Miumiu的未来不可限量。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。澳大利亚科学家Maisie Carr在1945年建立了Maisie’s Plots，以研究畜牧对植物的影响，这两处监测站目前仍在使用。
28.B　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，科学家Maisie竖起栅栏是为了进行科学研究。
29.D　细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，科学家Maisie建立了Maisie’s Plots，这是两处监测站，她通过监测这两个区域的植物的种类和数量来评估畜牧对植物的影响。
30.A　细节理解题。根据第五段中Manifold所说的话可知，Maisie在工作过程中遇到了一些阻力，当地的一些牧民不太支持她。
31.C　观点态度题。根据最后一段中Morgan博士的话可知，75年前没有人想到我们还在做这件事（使用Maisie 20世纪40年代使用的方法），一代又一代的学生和研究人员在Maisie’s Plots接受教育。由此可推断，在Morgan看来，Maisie’s Plots现在仍是科学家们学习的研究模式。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。新研究表明，将马在美洲西部传播开来的是土著居民而非欧洲人。
32.D　推理判断题。根据第一段第二句可知，研究人员发现，土著居民在与欧洲人接触之前就已经将马传播到了美国西部；根据第二段中的written European texts from the 1700s and 1800s stated that horses only spread through the area after 1680可知，18世纪和19世纪的欧洲书面文献指出，马在1680年后才在该地区传播。由此可推知，该研究发现改变了原先“是欧洲人将马在美国西部传播开来”的观点。
33.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的the horses appear to have been part of Native American culture ...people had put bridles （马勒） on the animals可知，土著居民已经给古代马戴上了马勒，即将它们作为骑乘工具。由此可知，古代马在土著居民的生活中发挥着一定作用。
34.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中Collin所说的话可知，她认为人们往往忽视了土著居民的口述历史，因此不能正确地还原历史真相。由此可推知，她认为口述历史反映了真实情况，应该得到重视。
35.C　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一项新研究，研究发现将马在美国西部传播开来的是土著居民而非欧洲人，并介绍了其研究背景、研究过程和研究结果等内容。故C项最适合作本文标题。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何摆脱冬季“起床困难症”。
36.E　空前一句讲到，当你正在享受美梦时，闹钟突然响了。再根据Is your clock out of control？和下文内容可推断，冬天的早晨，闹钟响起时，外面天还是黑的。E项（但是当你向窗外看去，外面依然黑漆漆的）解释了你认为闹钟不该响的理由，并衔接上下文，符合语境。
37.B　根据下面几段介绍可知，下文主要介绍了摆脱“起床困难症”的几个方法。B项（我们有一些可能会有所帮助的建议）引出下文，符合语境。
38.A　根据空后内容可知，无论夏天还是冬天，睡觉和起床都要有固定的时间。A项（坚持一个有规律的时间表）概括本段内容，符合语境。
39.G　根据空前内容可知，如果早起有困难的话，你可能需要让房间里有更多光线。G项（有些公司生产一些能在灰蒙蒙的冬天产生自然光的灯，它们很受欢迎）呼应本段首句的建议，符合语境。
40.F　本段内容是给自己设定除了工作之外的其他起床的理由。故F项（当你有为之清醒过来的好理由时，起床会更容易些）符合语境。
第三部分
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了特尼尔无意间看到了关于社区青年庇护所的小册子，对此感到非常震惊。她决定召集有相同音乐爱好的朋友一起举办演唱会活动为该庇护所筹集资金，最终该活动大获成功。

Concert Performed Jointly by
Students and Staff Successfully Held
　　Last Friday night the whole school witnessed a successful concert at the school hall， which aimed to help students and staff learn more about music from all over the world.
　　The musicians， who were actually teachers and students， presented the audience with different styles of music， such as Chinese folk music， and Western classical music.The perfect performance was a feast for the ears of music lovers.
　　As a bridge of communication， the concert not only promoted the friendship between students and teachers， but also offered a platform for the exchange of different cultures.
第二节
　　When Luz and Lavonne arrived at the headmaster’s office on Thursday afternoon， they were surprised.Just about every classmate was standing in the office — and some even brought friends！They held signs that said things like “Bathroom Access Now” or pictures of single-hand push soap dispensers and doors with handles.The office was so full that some of Luz’s supporters ended up standing in the hallway.
　　Luz’s face was red from smiling when the headmaster arrived.He looked around and asked， “What’s all this？”Luz looked over at Lavonne.Luz was still nervous， but she felt so good with her classmates’ support.She looked at the headmaster and said，“I’m Luz， and I’m here to talk about bathroom accessibility.”Then she told the headmaster her sad story and her appeals.The headmaster nodded as he listened.Finally， he made a call and arranged for workers to solve the problems for the benefit of students like Luz in a day or two.Luz felt so excited， and so did all the other students.

M：A farm.It’s just down this road.It’s a small place， but at least it would
be our own.
W：A farm？ How can we afford to buy a farm？
M：It isn’t large， only 1 acre.We wouldn’t have to pay very much right
now.
W：Is there a house on the farm？
M：A small one， two bedrooms， but it needs to be fixed up a little.I can
do the job myself.
W：OK. Is there enough space for a kitchen garden？
M：There is about half an acre behind the house.That’s plenty of space.We
can probably grow a lot of our own food.
W：What are you thinking about growing？
M：Well， it really isn’t big enough for corn.I thought we might try to
raise a crop of potatoes.
W：Do we have enough money to get all of these？
M：I think we’ve saved enough.We can also ask John about the money he
borrowed from us.
（Text 10）
W：Good morning， boys and girls.As we know， in the past years
our school held many competitions successfully every year， like Singing
Competition and Dancing Competition.In fact I do know most of the
students will want to have the Reading Competition as was held last
year.But， now we’ll have something that may be much more fun.It’s the
Pet Competition！ Well， in fact， it aims at letting all students know the
importance of loving animals.Nowadays， too many people can’t treat
animals so well.They do not think carefully before getting a pet.
At the competition， you will not be disappointed because our
teachers will not give you boring lessons to ask you to love
animals.Instead， we can all learn something from a relaxing
environment.There’s a dog beauty contest and we will choose the best
dog.The competition will be based on the dogs’ ability.Unfortunately this
competition is not open to your pets this year.Our school has selected five
dogs for this competition.That means， we can just sit back and enjoy.So
please come to join this event and vote for your favourite dogs！ How can
you afford to miss such an educational and fun event of the year？

　　Age is just a number， especially when it comes to someone as
naturally talented as Miumiu.
　　The little girl from Nanjing， China， may be 6 years old， but her
musical prowess goes far beyond her years.Not only is she a great guitar
player， but she’s also a beautiful singer！ It’s no wonder she’s charming
thousands with her adorable cover of a classic song.
　　Miumiu has been playing the guitar since she was 3， and it shows！
In a video， we see her fingers glide （滑过） effortlessly over the strings
as she starts a bossa nova rendition （演奏） of Fly Me To The Moon.
When her sweet voice joins in， it makes for one magical experience.
　　Listening to her， we can’t help but smile.She’s that good — and that
cute！
　　If that isn’t enough to make you fall in love， her personality is great
too.Each video on her YouTube channel comes with the statement：
“Thank you for your encouragement.I will continue to study hard to
achieve my dream to be an excellent guitarist.”
　　Musicians with decades of experience are wishing they had half her
talent！
　　One Internet user wrote，“If this is where you’re at when you’re
6 ...you’ve got a bright future ahead of you！ Awesome music！”
Another added，“Beautifully sung and played.Music is a universal
language.It’s all about the feeling， and she has more of that than some
40-year-old musicians I know.” The other commented，“I’m pretty sure
I was still eating dirt when I was 6 years old.”
　　This talented little girl is well on her way to becoming a star —
though she already is to us！ Her parents must be so proud.Never stop
doing what you love， Miumiu.

　　In 1945， scientist Maisie Carr stood a fence around 5 hectares of
peatland on Victoria’s Bogong High Plains.
　　That fence would form the first of Maisie’s Plots， two sites where
things were watched.They are still used by scientists today and have
recently been added to the Victorian Heritage Register.It’s one of
Australia’s longest-running ecological experiments （生态实验）， and it
began with a true pioneer who had to learn to ride a horse to carry out her
work.
　　Born in 1912 in Footscray， Melbourne， Maisie showed her
scientific ability as a student and was awarded scholarships to Melbourne
High School and the University of Melbourne.In 1941 she was employed
by the university to research soil erosion （土壤侵蚀） in Victoria’s High
Country.
　　She set up Maisie’s Plots — one at Rocky Valley and one at Pretty
Valley — to see how cattle influenced the plant life on peatland and
grassland.At each site， Maisie fenced off one area to keep cattle out，
and marked another nearby area.The fenced and unfenced areas were
regularly checked for types and amounts of plants， to assess the influence
of cattle.This led to stricter controls on cattle eating plants in the area，
and finally it was cancelled altogether.
　　Dr Manifold， Maisie’s nephew， said Maisie’s many letters showed
her ability to adapt to a new and challenging environment.“She made
many cattlemen friends， but some cattlemen were concerned that the
agreements that allow them to use the High Plains land were at risk
because of her， so there were disagreements too， which she managed
quite well， I think.”
　　John Morgan， from La Trobe University， has been watching over
Maisie’s Plots since 1989.He said Maisie’s experiment showed what would
later happen when cattle were not allowed to eat the plants on the High
Plains after the 2003 bush fires.
　　The next generation of scientists have continued to watch over the
sites’ recovery since the cattle were taken away.And they do it using the
same method Maisie thought of back in the 1940s， to make sure the data
is comparable.“No one thought 75 years ago we’d still be doing this，”
Dr Morgan said.“Generations of students and researchers have been
educated at Maisie’s Plots.”

D
　　The story about horses in North America told in several written
histories is in need of an update， according to a new study.After
examining archaeological remains （考古遗骸） of horses， researchers
suggest Indigenous peoples （土著居民） had spread the animals through
the American West by the first half of the 1600s — before they met
Europeans.
　　The findings line up with oral histories from Indigenous groups，
which tell of interactions with horses before settlers arrived in their
homelands.Meanwhile， written European texts from the 1700s and 1800s
stated that horses only spread through the area after 1680.
　　Horses originated in the Americas around four million years ago， but
by about 10，000 years ago， they had mostly disappeared from the
record.Spanish settlers likely first brought horses back to the Americas in
1519.According to the new study， Indigenous peoples then transported
horses north along trade networks.
　　To find when the animals spread， researchers examined the remains
of more than twenty horses discovered across the Western US rather than
simply walking around the countryside on their own， the horses appear to
have been part of Native American culture.Signs of teeth problems on one
horse and growths on the bones of the head of another suggested people
had put bridles （马勒） on the animals.Certain chemical elements （化
学元素） in the animals’ teeth suggested they ate maize， an Indigenous
plant.And another horse had a previously broken facial bone that had fully
recovered， meaning it might have received medical treatment.
　　Researchers compared the ancient horses’ DNA with that of modern
horses and found that the centuries-old horses had largely Spanish
origins.Together， the findings suggest horses spread “from Spanish
settlements in the American Southwest to the northern Rockies and central
Great Plains by the first half of the 17th century”.
　　The findings also highlight the importance of Indigenous oral
traditions in understanding history.“Our cultures have been so
misunderstood for so long，”says co-author Yvette Collin.“Too often
history has been told around us， without us.”

开来的是土著居民而非欧洲人。
32. What needs to be updated according to the new study？
A. When horses showed up in the Americas.
B. Who introduced horses to North America.
C. When Native Americans first met Europeans.
D. Who spread horses through the American West.
解析：　推理判断题。根据第一段第二句可知，研究人员发现，
土著居民在与欧洲人接触之前就已经将马传播到了美国西部；根
据第二段中的written European texts from the 1700s and 1800s stated
that horses only spread through the area after 1680可知，18世纪和19
世纪的欧洲书面文献指出，马在1680年后才在该地区传播。由此
可推知，该研究发现改变了原先“是欧洲人将马在美国西部传播
开来”的观点。
33. What did researchers find out about ancient horses from the remains？
A. They had hardly any Spanish origins.
B. They were born with tooth disease.
C. They played a role in natives’ lives.
D. They were badly treated by natives.
解析：　细节理解题。根据第四段中的the horses appear to have
been part of Native American culture ...people had put bridles （马
勒） on the animals可知，土著居民已经给古代马戴上了马勒，即
将它们作为骑乘工具。由此可知，古代马在土著居民的生活中发
挥着一定作用。
34. What does Collin think of oral histories？
A. They spread easily.
B. They show the truth.
C. They pass down traditions.
D. They unite Indigenous groups.
解析：　推理判断题。根据最后一段中Collin所说的话可知，她
认为人们往往忽视了土著居民的口述历史，因此不能正确地还原
历史真相。由此可推知，她认为口述历史反映了真实情况，应该
得到重视。
35. What is the best title for the text？
A. Written Texts Explain Human-horse Interactions
B. Oral Histories Help Us Understand Indigenous Cultures
C. New Research Rewrites the History of American Horses
D. Archaeological Remains Are the Key to Learning about the Past
解析：　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一项新研
究，研究发现将马在美国西部传播开来的是土著居民而非欧洲
人，并介绍了其研究背景、研究过程和研究结果等内容。故C项最
适合作本文标题。

　　You are enjoying a nice dream until your alarm suddenly goes
off. 　36　 Is your clock out of control？No.It’s just winter， making the
sun rise later so it will be twice as hard to crawl out of bed into the cold
darkness.
　　As the day gets shorter， our mornings lose that crucial light to wake
us up， so waking up gets harder.That means you’ll need to put in extra
effort to get to work on time. 　37　
　　 　38　 Summer or winter， you should aim to go to bed at about the
same time every evening and wake up at about the same time every
morning.Try to give yourself time for eight hours per night.
　　Avoid strong light near your bedtime.So if you like reading before you
close your eyes， try an actual book or an E-ink screen， which doesn’t
emit （发出） the harsh light that phones and tablets do.
　　Buy a wake-up light.If you still have trouble with dark mornings， it
might be time to introduce more light into your room. 　39　
　　Give yourself something to look forward to. 　40　 Sure， you might
have to get up for work， but you’ll want to be awake if you are expecting
a delicious breakfast， or a workout that is actually fun.
A. Stick to a regular schedule.
B. We have a few tips that might help.
C. Too much light can do harm to your eyes.
D. But you just don’t want to get out of your warm bed.

　　Concert Performed Jointly by
Students and Staff Successfully Held
　　Last Friday night the whole school witnessed a successful concert at
the school hall， which aimed to help students and staff learn more about
music from all over the world.
　　The musicians， who were actually teachers and students， presented
the audience with different styles of music， such as Chinese folk music，
and Western classical music.The perfect performance was a feast for the
ears of music lovers.
　　As a bridge of communication， the concert not only promoted the
friendship between students and teachers， but also offered a platform for
the exchange of different cultures.

　　Luz felt anxious as she walked to the front of the classroom.She and
her best friend Lavonne had asked their science teacher， Ms Ohanian， if
she could speak to the class before it started.Ms Ohanian had agreed to set
aside a few minutes for her.
　　“Listen up， class，” Ms Ohanian announced， “Luz wants to
share something with us.”
　　Actually， Luz was shy and didn’t want to talk about her difficulties
using the school bathrooms.But her deskmate Lavonne encouraged her to
speak out about it.Luz was very nervous， so she took a deep breath.
　　“Hi， everyone，” she began，“you know me from class， but
you don’t all know my whole story.I was in a car accident in the fourth
grade， and as a result， my left arm doesn’t really move anymore.
　　Luz saw the whole class look at her arm.She hated feeling different
from everyone else.She was painful， but she continued.
　　“It’s hard for me to use the school bathrooms.The door is really
heavy and only opens with a knob （球形把手）.My doctor told me that
moving a knob can cause damage to my wrist， and advised me to look for
rooms with handles — but there aren’t any bathroom doors like that in our
school.Plus， the soap dispensers （皂液瓶） in our bathrooms are the
kind you need two moving hands for.So，” she said，“after school on
Thursday， Lavonne and I are going to sit in the headmaster’s office to ask
for new doors， handles， and soap dispensers.We’d like you to join
us.Um ...thank you.”
　　“Well， can’t you just ask for help when you use the bathroom？”
a girl asked.
　　Luz didn’t know what to say.She looked to Lavonne， silently asking
her for help.
　　“Do you want to ask for help every time you wash your
hands？”Lavonne asked.“The bathroom should be something everyone
can use， without needing help for things people can usually do.”
　　As Luz sat down， a few kids applauded.She felt relieved， and
smiled when classmates called out “Good job！” But she was still
worried that nobody would show up for her on Thursday.

　　When Luz and Lavonne arrived at the headmaster’s office on
Thursday afternoon， they were surprised.Just about every classmate was
standing in the office — and some even brought friends！They held signs
that said things like “Bathroom Access Now” or pictures of single-hand
push soap dispensers and doors with handles.The office was so full that
some of Luz’s supporters ended up standing in the hallway.
　　Luz’s face was red from smiling when the headmaster arrived.He
looked around and asked， “What’s all this？”Luz looked over at
Lavonne.Luz was still nervous， but she felt so good with her classmates’
support.She looked at the headmaster and said，“I’m Luz， and I’m here
to talk about bathroom accessibility.”Then she told the headmaster her
sad story and her appeals.The headmaster nodded as he listened.Finally，
he made a call and arranged for workers to solve the problems for the
benefit of students like Luz in a day or two.Luz felt so excited， and so did
all the other students.
