【推荐2】The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often laughed at her. She would open a ____, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted (收养 ) by a family, and they thought that the best way for her to ____ American ways of life is to be with American kids. I looked ____ at this small girl and promised myself that I must help her.
But how could I help her fit in with us? There had to be a way.
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had opened her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a perfect ____
I was surprised and thought that she could do ____ in the coming talent show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had drawn. “Why, it’s ____,” said Miss Parker, and then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough time. Could you help me, Suzy?
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s ____ were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And ____,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “We have a special award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students painted them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could ____ that well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “Since this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a prize, too. Our mystery (神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I realized, at that time when I was looking at her ____ face, she’d probably never owned anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to clap their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right. ”1.

【推荐2】阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Love is for both sides, and so are manners. If someone holds a door for you, say “Thank you.” If you need something from a grocery shelf, and someone else is ______ the way, say “Excuse me, please.” Or ask them “Could you please hand me a box of biscuits?” and then ______ them.

       As an adult, it is very important to set a good example for children, and give them positive feedback (反馈) when they do the ______ thing. Here is an example:
       Recently I was at a public celebration event, and two young boys (probably not more than 2 or 3 years different in age, but they did not ______ to be brothers) were in front of me in line for some ice cream. It was a ______ day, and the line was long.
       As they stood there ______, the younger boy was asking the other how much the cones (蛋筒) were. At the reply of “$ 4.00”, he looked ______, and said, “I only have $ 5.00.” He would not have enough money left for anything else. The older didn’t say anything, but when we got to the window, the older boy ordered two cones, and waved the younger boy’s money away, ______ him to his ice cream.
       And then I heard the younger boy say “Thank you very much!” to the older boy happily. The older boy smiled, and said, “It’s ______. My dear friend!”
       I told the older boy, “That was a very nice thing you just did for your friend.” He was a bit shy, smiled, and shrugged (耸肩). I know he was probably full of ______ inside to be noticed for doing an act of kindness.
       It all comes back to the old saying, “What goes around comes around.” Manners are like a boomerang (回飞棒). Use them, and be kind, and you will surely get the reward.1.
