6 . 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。

I frequently joke that my family heirlooms (传家宝)are plastic. My parents grew up poor and over the years, as a family we were comfortable but didn’t have a lot of things which would be considered luxuries: jewelry, family vacations, china, fancy cars, etc. My father went on a trip to Italy with my aunts one year and brought my mother a ring. It was her favorite stone. She valued that ring because it was one of the nicest things she ever had and represented my dad’s love for her. Sometimes they quarreled but had a deep love for each other. He died in 1980, aged 53 after a difficult battle with cancer.

She had lost some weight and wore the ring to work on a different finger. During her shift the ring slipped off and she realized it the following day. She was sick about it after having tried to find it with no luck. At the point when I talked to her she was trying to face the fact that she would never see it again. Her voice sounded hollow and weak which I assumed was due to the nature of the conversation. She choked back some tears.

I decided to look for the ring at my mom’s work. She was working at the Burlington Coat Factory Department store at the time in the Youth Dept. The Youth Dept was huge and packed with clothes, toys and tables. It was always a mess even when someone was working in it. I started row by row crawling (爬行) on the floor to see if I could find the ring under all the clothes. As I worked my way through the Youth Dept, I tried not to panic. I was amazed that no one asked me what I was doing. At that time I encountered one of my mom’s co-workers who didn’t understand English very well and tried to explain what I was doing. She didn’t seem to understand but she didn’t try to stop me either.

注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右；

When I got to the last row, I still didn’t find the ring.

8 . Family meals are important and connect family members.    1    There is no need to worry about going to school, work and more.

Studies have shown family mealtime increases positive social skills, school engagement and decreases the frequency of negative behaviors.    2     Trying new food or not restricting on food is encouraged. Children who engage in family mealtime are less likely to have eating disorders. In addition, those who share frequent family meals are more likely to eat a larger number of fruits and vegetables and be less picky about food.

    3    For example, we need to consider the budget, the time for meal preparation, the availability of recommended foods or supplements(补充物品)at a typical grocery store.    4    Members may have various cultural or dietary preferences. In view of this, we should make sure that the eating plan offered nutritional value for different calorie and nutritional needs-for people of different ages, different activity levels and health conditions.

9 . Homemade biodiesel (生物柴油) helps you speed past the gas station toward fuel independence. Our expert outlines processing used cooking oil in a small DIY plant.

If you're guiding your household toward a more self-sufficient lifestyle, maybe you'd like to add do-it-yourself fuel to your list of goals. Biodiesel can be created from waste vegetable oil or animal fats, which you can collect free from restaurants, or you can grow soybeans (大豆) to press your own oil. Process the oil with a couple of chemicals to produce homemade fuel that can run any device— including pickups, cars, and home heating systems.

First, find a reliable source of raw material. Try sourcing used cooking oil from restaurants, functional food companies. If you're planning to sell your biodiesel, begin by analyzing the available raw material supply, and make plans to size your operation accordingly. Next, build your plant, sized to your raw material supply. A small family operation can fit in the corner of a garage, within the footprint of a single parking space. Allow enough space for a water heater, a tank for storing your incoming feedstock, and a tank for washing your fuel. For starters aim to line up enough feedstock to meet your family's fuel requirements.

If you're collecting used cooking oil from restaurants, expect that 20 percent of the material you gather will be water and bits of fried food. Water is not your friend when making biodiesel, so you'll need to remove it by heating the oil and allowing the contaminants (污染物) to settle to the bottom before you pour the oil of the top. You'll have to make a plan for getting rid of the oily wastewater.

Home biodiesel production is not without risks. Making your own fuel will require great attention to detail and safety. Now you know the basics of how to make biodiesel, but you’ll need to research carefully before you begin production.

1. Where can you get the materials of biodiesel from?

A．Oil plants.	B．Varied restaurants.
C．Abandoned garages.	D．Local companies.

2. What is the author's attitude to the use of biodiesel?

A．Tolerant.       `

B．Positive.

C．Unwilling.

D．Opposed.

3. What can we infer about biodiesel production from the last two paragraphs?

A．It needs enough water.	B．It goes without any risks.
C．It requires little attention.	D．It needs to be improved.

4. What is the text mainly about?

A．Some research on biodiesel.	B．An experiment on biodiesel.
C．The importance of biodiesel.	D．One way to make biodiesel.

10 . Regret refers to a feeling of sadness about something wrong or about a mistake that you have made, and a wish that it could have been different and better.     1     Experts say they come in four basic varieties: connection regrets, moral regrets, foundation regrets and boldness regrets. An instance of regret may involve just one or a combination.

    2     Regret is linked with depression and anxiety, and excessive regret can adversely affect your hormones and immune system. For some, it’s anathema to sleep.

To truly get over our regret requires that we put it in its proper place. The trick is not to avoid the bad feeling; it’s to acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement.     3     We have to seek them out on purpose to improve ourselves. Here are things you may find helpful the next time your are indulged in regrets.

    4     This suggests that regret is like a ghost: not entirely clear but always frightening. Bring your ghost out of the shadows by making a list of your regrets. Write down why each one still bothers you and its lingering bad effects. You will find that a list is a lot less dreadful than a ghost.

After you make a mistake, life moves on. But sometimes you just can’t stop kicking yourself. Perhaps you dropped out of school decades ago and are constantly calculating today how much money you would be making, had you pressed on to graduation.     5    

Life is a journey full of pleasures and pains. To live it well and fully means learning from every bit of it, including regrets, and moving forward.

A．Not all regrets are the same, of course

B．People often say their regrets chase after them.

C．Regret’s benefits don’t come to us by chance.

D．Never waste another minute of life reliving a decision that cannot be changed.

E．Some take the declaration a step further and claim that they have no regrets at all.

F．Unanalyzed and unmanaged, any variety of regrets can be poison for your health.

G．If you are of the “no regrets” school of life, you might think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness.
