If you love something enough but lose it, it may just find its way back to you. That’s a lesson a Connecticut man learned this week, when he miraculously (神奇地) recovered a dollar bill that his wife had signed years before. Peter and Grace Bilillo were married for 50 years before Grace lost her battle with cancer. They first met in Peter’s home in Sicily when his mother introduced her unmarried son to the pretty girl down the street. It was love at first sight. “We got married in 40 days,” said the 86-year-old man. About seven years ago, the devoted couple each took a dollar bill and signed the names - Grace on one and Peter on the other - as a sign of their love. “I said, ‘This dollar bill is going to be in my wallet forever,”’ Peter Bilillo said. Forever didn’t last as long as Peter hoped, though - two years after signing the two bills, he fortuitously spent them. When his wife died, he was heartbroken. “I felt sorry, very sorry. I thought we were never going to see those two dollars back again,” he said. So, imagine Peter’s surprise when seven months after his beloved wife’s death, he took his granddaughter to a local subway shop, glanced at the change handed back to him by the cashier and saw his beloved Grace’s name staring at him from one of the dollar bills. “I never thought I was going to get that dollar back again,” he said. “The first thing I said was, ‘Grace, she did this to make me happy.’” “It’s a miracle to get it back,” he told reporters. “Who knows how many millions of people got that dollar in their hands?” Peter says he hopes that, with a little help from Grace, the dollar with his signature will make his way back to him as well. 【1】What was Peter and Grace’s first meeting like? A.They decided to marry at first sight. B.Grace had just won her battle with cancer. C.It was Peter’s mother who introduced them to each other. D.Peter had just had a date with a pretty girl down the street. 【2】Why did they decide to sign the bills? A.To honor their 50th anniversary. B.To put something special in Peter’s wallet. C.To help Grace defeat her illness. D.To witness their love. 【3】What can we infer from the text? A.Grace got the lost bill back to make Peter happy. B.There is still one signed bill that hasn’t returned. C.Peter took his granddaughter to look for the bill. D.A cashier found the last bill and gave it to Peter. 【4】What does the underlined word “fortuitously” in Paragraph 7 mean? A.accidentally. B.intendedly. C.expectedly. D.intentionally. |

Instead of going on a trip or buying herself new clothes:Xiao Tong from Wuhan, Hubei province,chose to celebrate her senior high school graduation in a different way. She went to a beauty clinic to have plastic surgery on her nose."I want to make a good impression and start my university life with a brand-new look,"the 18-year-old told Changjiang Daily. Like Xiao Tong,many young Chinese are anxious about their looks, and more and more subject themselves to plastic surgery.Young people do it for different reasons,and improving self-confidence is one of them. Wang Fang,18,from Beijing, felt that her eyes were too small. In 2019,after she got in university,Wang had a minor operation done on her eyelids."Before I had the surgery, I had a negative view of myself.Therefore,I had no confidence,"Wang told Beijing Youth Daily. But Jiang Wenxiu of the Department of Psychiatry, Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University in Jiangsu,advised that people should think twice before going under the knife. ＂Medical beauty apps only show how great plastic surgery can be,"Jiang told China Daily. ＂They leave out all the negative things." Today beauty clinics are well aware that these young students are mostly short of money,so they use summer discounts, installment plans and other ways to attract their attention. Xiao Zhen,17,from Chengdu,Sichuan province,is one of the victims. She took out a loan(贷款） of about 20,000 yuan to get plastic surgery.But the large sum of money became a big burden. She had to drop out of school and go to work to pay off the loan. Besides the financial burden, potential health risks of plastic surgery also need to be considered. ＂If you have big problems with your look, you should wait until you are a full adult, and then decide if you want to do something about it,"Jiang said."Then,with a stable(稳定的）mind,you can consider inner and outer beauty,and whether plastic surgery is for you.” 【1】Why does the author mention Xiao Tong in the first paragraph? A.To explain what plastic surgery is. B.To praise her bravery to live a different life. C.To show the popularity of plastic surgery. D.To introduce a new way to start university. 【2】What does Xiao Zhen lose for her surgery? A.Freedom. B.Education. C.Health. D.Confidence. 【3】What is Jiang Wenxiu's attitude towards plastic surgery? A.Admiring. B.Worried. C.Cautious(谨慎的） D.Satisfied. 【4】What is the best title of the passage? A.Popular plastic surgery. B.Never take plastic surgery. C.What makes plastic surgery popular? D.Show your confidence in plastic surgery. |

Did you know that the average child has heard the word "no" over 20,000 times before they turn the age of three? Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The "terrible twos" are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If we're not careful, the children will watch us model a world of "NOs"。 By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I haven't found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but I'm sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math. Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the "NOs" we've heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else? The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run into people with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES! 【1】What do we know about two- year- olds? A.They understand well. B.They often say no to others. C.They think logically. D.They don't do all they're told. 【2】What effect does saying no have on children? A.They lose all their dreams. B.They aren't easy to succeed. C.They don't make mistakes. D.They never say yes to others. 【3】Which word best describes the author's attitude to a world of "NOs"? A.Tolerant. B.Disapproving. C.Favorable. D.Carefree. 【4】What is the text? A.A how-to guide. B.A survey report. C.An opinion essay. D.A short story. |

Smartwatches and fitness trackers (健身追踪器)have gained popularity recently. These tools can record your daily steps, heart rates, etc. 【1】. If yes, it might be a sign that you’re addicted to your fitness tracker. 【2】. If you keep setting unrealistic daily goals that involve working out for too long, and if you begin to ignore friends and responsibilities to make time for your workout, then you’re most probably addicted to your fitness tracker. It’s a struggle to overcome the addiction to fitnesstrackers. 【3】. For example, the number in your smart watch showing how far you’ve come can give you a sense of achievement. Of course, failing to meet your daily goal can be discouraging. You might focus on your shortcomings rather than your progress. Another problem is that you might find yourself paying too much attention to the step number rather than how your body feels. 【4】. Therefore, if you’re spending too much time looking at your smartwatch, limit your daily step count to a comfortable level. 【5】. For example, concentrating on your hobbies or socializing with friends can be a great way to keep your mind on other things. A.Don’t overuse your smartwatch. B.It doesn’t convey what you’re really feeling. C.After all, reaching a daily step count can be so appealing. D.How can you tell whether you’re addicted to your fitness tracker? E.Actually, this addiction to step count can be risky, mentally and physically. F.However, do you find yourself checking your steps and heart rates too often? G.Besides, you can find other things to do that don’t involve checking your fitness tracker. |

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。 When a tornado(龙卷风) touched down in a small town nearby,many families were left completed ruined. Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human-interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest. One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of an entirely shattered(破碎的) mobile home, a depressed expression on her face. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downward. Clutching(紧握) at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear. The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves. I stuck the picture of the young family on our refrigerator, explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three-year-old Meghan. “These poor people now have nothing,” I said. “We’ll share what we have with them. I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods. While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up old toys and games. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, much-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest. She came to the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucy's flat, painted-on-face, gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on top of the other toys. “Oh, Honey,” I said.” You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan nodded seriously, eyes filled with held-back tears. "Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make that other little girl happy,too.” Paragraph. 1: The boys had watched,open-mouthed,as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph. 2: I looked my children for a long moment. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
