Fulton’s dog named Lucy got to pick out her own toy at the store, and Fulton says Lucy has been known to pick very large stuffed animals. In the video, Lucy picked up a Lambchop toy about twice her size and carried it out of the store with unbelievable determination.

We don’t do this on a regular basis but occasionally! The more she has shopped, the bigger the toy gets and the bigger the toy gets, the higher the price!

Over the past twenty years, the Mission: Impossible film series has always been connected with Tom Cruise. No matter what happens, he’s always been Ethan Hunt, the stubborn agent (特工) who always gives 110 percent to protect other people’s safety, regardless of his own. Hunt serves as a kind of action hero, but there’s an interesting change in Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol (2011), the fourth movie of the series. In it, Hunt faces a great dilemma (困境), as he has to leave his beloved wife Julia behind to save the world. And this idea continues in Mission: Impossible- Fallout, where Hunt’s dilemma is even bigger than before, when he’s forced to make a choice between saving someone he loves or the entire world. The theme of the “moral dilemma”, in which the hero must choose between two very difficult options, is common in cinema. Characters like James Bond and Batman often face moral dilemmas of their own. Bond is loyal (忠诚的) to Britain and spares no effort to finish every task, but this often comes at the cost of following the rules. For most people, killing someone even for a good reason isn’t acceptable. However, Bond has only two choices in front of him: kill his enemies or be killed. Differing from Bond, however, Batman never kills a single person in film The Dark Knight (2008). He refuses to break his own moral code (道德准则). Indeed, it seems Batman is a different kind of hero, one who puts his own morals above anything else. As is mentioned on the poster for Fallout: “Some missions are not a choice”, which means that good intentions often come back to haunt (环绕) us. So, superheroes like Ethan Hunt and his Impossible Mission Force need to make the right choice by saving the world again. As the character Benjamin Parker, Spider-Man’s uncle in the movie series, wisely said, “With great power comes great responsibility.” 【1】Who is the hero in the film series the Mission: Impossible? A.Benjamin Parker. B.James Bond. C.Batman. D.Ethan Hunt. 【2】What do the three action heroes James Bond, Batman and Ethan Hunt have in common? A.They all kill their enemies. B.They all have the same moral code. C.They are all cruel and cold-blooded. D.They are all stuck in moral dilemma. 【3】What’s the best title of the passage? A.Superheroes B.Ethan Hunt Coming Back C.Making a Hard Choice D.Tom Cruise Caught in Dilemma |

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 A Simple Thank I have been in the teaching profession more than thirty years, and one of the best teachers I have ever known was Mr. Rowe. I was lucky enough to co-teach fourth grade with him. Mr. Rowe had great patience and understanding and I learned so much from watching him. He could perform miracles, like the one he performed with Steven, one of the unhappiest kids I had ever seen. Steven couldn’t stand school. He didn’t like being picked last for kickball. He didn’t like the kids who raised their hands and knew all the answers, and most importantly, he didn’t like himself. The first day he walked into Mr. Rowe’s classroom, he ignored the other students, looking angry and annoyed, and sat into his chair, knocking a couple of textbooks onto the floor. Mr. Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven’s shoulder, but Steven pulled away. Nevertheless, Mr. Rowe welcomed him, “Hi, Steven. I’m happy you are in my class. We are gonna have a great year.” Steven looked around the room as if Mr. Rowe must be mistaken. No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his classroom. So, while Mr. Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed that day of school, it seemed like Steven was angry and confused. That day after classes, Mr. Rowe chose Steven to pitch the kickball at recess. “Hey, Steven,” Mr. Rowe commented, “You are good at pitching. Let me show you my secret trick.” Mr. Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform. Steven learned fast and did quite well! Everyone cheered for him! After the kickball, Steven sat as close to Mr. Rowe in classes as he could. When a question was asked, Steven lit up; he knew the answer! He raised his hands. When he answered the question, his voice shook. However, he got the answer right! He said, with Mr. Rowe, his days of the fourth grade promised wonderful. That is not to say that every day went smoothly, but it was obvious that Steven grew to love Mr. Rowe more and more with each passing day. 注意: 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: Time passed quickly that year, and before we all knew it, it was the last day of school. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Many years later, Mr. Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom, dressed in the Marine Corps (海军) uniform. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
