When I was younger, I loved to be just like my mom. She had a superpower of making everyone ________, and she helped out a lot in our town. My favorite was when we ________ the old people at their home, holding hands as we walked down the halls. But as I got older, I started to ________ about hanging out with friends than helping out.

On a bright summer day, when I was twelve, my mom told me we were going somewhere instead of going to the lake with my ________. I wasn’t happy. I dragged my ________ to the car, and with a loud sound, I closed the door and didn’t want to ________ with her. My mom gently told me we were off to a children’s shelter (收养院). I didn’t know what to think. As we arrived, I noticed the house was big and pretty, with wind chimes (风铃) and ________ that made the entrance feel welcoming.

Inside, I saw kids playing but they had scratches (划伤) and marks. This made me really quiet and ________. Then, a little girl with a big smile and a ________ on her head came over. “Hi, are you Tasha?” she asked. Her voice was so ________, it made me forget why I was upset. She held my hand tightly and said to my mom, “Auntie, I love your Tasha!” Her ________ made my heart feel all warm and happy.

After that, I went back to the ________ a lot. We played, talked, and the kids, like Ashley, told me their ________. They had been through some ________ time, and I really wanted to be there for them just like my friends are for me.

I ________ so much from my mom and the kids. Mom showed me that being caring and thankful is really important, and those are things we should always remember to be happy about.

9 . Ida Nelson was enjoying in her sister’s sauna (桑拿室) when she heard the sound of a small airplane circling the nearby airport.

It was 11:30 at night in a small village with a population of 70, and she said, “Any time a planeflies over that late, you know something is wrong.” Nelson and her sister ran to the window, and saw the problem—the airport’s runway lights were out.

Nelson put on her clothes, and drove her car to the airport, where she found a local pilot trying to turn on the lights manually. But the lights didn’t work with his hands.

Normally, if you push the button 10 or 15 times, the lights will just light up. Not this time. Meanwhile, she and the pilot learned of the plane’s task: it was a medevac (空中救护) there to send a seriously ill local girl, to the nearest hospital, 280 miles away in another city.

Nelson had a plan. Driving her car to the end of the runway, she shone her headlights for the plane to follow. Great idea, but it wasn’t enough. More light was needed, so she called nearly every home in the village—32 of them.

Within 20 minutes, 20 cars arrived at the airport, many of the drivers still in pajamas (睡衣). Following directions from the medevac pilot, the cars lined up on one side of the runway. The medevac, guided by the headlights, landed safely. The young patient was sent onto the plane, and the plane immediately took off. Her illness was never open to the public, but she has since been recovered.

Without them, the girl might not have made it. However, for Nelson, it was “quite a normal thing.”

1. What does the underlined word “manually” mean?

A．Having the ability to think and understand.	B．Working by hand, rather than by electricity.
C．In a way that is easy to understand.	D．Having the imagination to produce something new.

2. What is the problem with the medevac?

A．Its lights went out by accident.	B．It couldn’t carry the patients as many as possible.
C．It didn’t arrive at the airport’s runway on time.	D．It couldn’t land safely at dark night.

3. What did the villagers use to light up one side of the runway?

A．

B．

C．

D．

4. Which of the following can best describe Ida Nelson?
