Our science teacher always enjoys giving out challenging assignments to our Grade 10 science class. Unlike other teachers who hand out page upon page of textbook questions, Mr. Hussey seems to prefer having the students learn science through a more hands-on, do-it-yourself approach.

“Today, ”said Mr. Hussey, “everyone will be making an icebox!”As we sat in awe, trying to imagine what kind of device he was referring to, Mr. Hussey handed out the project instructions. In groups of two, we would design a storage (贮藏) device that was capable of keeping its contents at a constant temperature for a certain period of time, regardless of the outside temperature. The competition was quite straightforward：every contestant would receive a cube (立方体) of ice. The team that had the biggest piece left the next day would win!

As always, I partnered with my best friend, Vlad. That afternoon we went straight to the library. After an intense discussion, we agreed on the basic idea of having the ice cube inside a box, which would be put inside another bigger box. Between the two boxes would be the heat insulator (绝缘体).

The first test of the icebox was extremely disappointing. Since this was our first experiment, we both wanted good results to build our confidence. Before I went to bed that night, I carefully picked out a huge block of ice from our refrigerator and placed it inside the icebox. When I woke up the next morning and looked into the icebox, there wasn’t even a bit of ice left. Reflecting on this failure, we were determined to find a better insulating material. Then we tried the same experiment again. This time, we made it. There was 70 percent of the ice left.

My story is about my mother’s beautiful ball gown(舞裙). She had carefully rapped it in paper and placed it in a cardboard box and it was hidden away in a top cupboard. From time to time it would be lifted out of its box and shown to us, and as small girls we would imagine the day when we might be allowed to try it on. That never happened.

The top cupboard where the dress was stored happened to be in my bedroom. One day when I was around the age of nine or ten, I was very anxious to try it on. I quickly pulled the gown over my head. My mother’s waist(腰)must have been extremely tiny as it fitted my waist with little room to spare.

Suddenly, I realized that my mother would be home soon, so I hurriedly undressed but I accidentally spill(洒)a bottle of ink over the bottom of the dress. I was shocked and scared. Carefully, I put it into the box and replaced the box onto the shelf. I lived with the fear throughout my teenage years that it would eventually be discovered.

The years passed and my mother grew old and became ill. I made the decision that she would come to live in a nursing home near me. Before she went there, I decided to arrange an afternoon tea with a group of her closest friends. Mom and her friends talked about their past days.

【推荐1】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。

My friend Ollie had a birthday party recently and I wanted to make him something awesome to show how much our friendship means to me. I pulled out the craft box and spread everything out on the table: markers, paints, seashells, craft sticks, and construction paper. I stared and stared but couldn’t think of what to make.

Just then, my little brother and sister came running into the room. Indi was carrying our silly kitty Charlie. Tex asked me to help him make something, but I refused him because I need to make the best present ever for Ollie’s birthday.

Charlie wiggled in Indi’s arms. And Indi suggested making him a cat holder while Tex a cat tickler. “Cute suggestions,” I said, “But Ollie doesn’t have a cat.”

Just then, Charlie leaped out of Indi’s arms and landed on the pile of paper. The paper, and Charlie, slid across the table. Tex laughed, “It looked like Charlie’s skateboarding!”

“Skateboarding! That’ s it !” I ran to my room and found an old photo of Ollie and me with our first skateboards.

I worked all afternoon on the coolest picture frame ever. It was shaped and colored just like the skateboard Ollie had in the photo. “Thanks for giving me the skateboarding idea,” I said to Tex, “I bet this will be Ollie’s favorite present !”

When I arrived at the party, I set my gift behind all the others so Ollie would open it last. The whole time we were playing games, I kept glancing over at it. Then Ollie ’s grandmother, Abuela, brought out the cake. Ollie blew out all the candles.

Finally, it was time to open presents. Ollie opened a book, a paint set, and a baseball cap. The next-to-last thing was a long, heavy box. “I got two of the same thing for my birthday,” Justin told Ollie. “So I’m giving one of them to you.”Ollie opened the box and pulled out a super-nice skateboard. “No way!” he shouted. “This is exactly the one I’ve been wanting. Let’s go outside and try it!”
