THE PET LAMB

Almost all the possessions had been sold to buy food and clothing for the family. At last, nothing was left but the pet lamb, Daisy. At the thought of parting with the little creature, Mrs. Grant’s felt sad because the children loved it very much. Having struggled hard, she had to make up her mind to sell the lamb. But she could not ask any child to go for the butcher. Finally, she went herself with a heavy heart, dragging her leaden feet, and bargained with the butcher for the sale of Daisy.

While the children were all playing with the lamb, the butcher and his boy came to the door. “You see I am here for the lamb,” said the butcher in a loud voice. Hearing this, one child ran to her mother's side, and asked what was happening in alarm. Mrs. Grant gently pushed the child aside, bent down and was about to tell the truth.

“That’s my lamb now, Charlie!” said the butcher’s boy in a playful tone, going up to Daisy with a rope in his hand.

“No, it is not your lamb. It is ours!” said Charlie, placing himself in front of it.

But the boy, pushing him aside, threw a rope round Daisy’s neck, and began to drag the little creature away. The poor lamb bleated very sadly. The cry of grief which fell upon the mother’s ears was too much for her, and her heart sank within her. In a moment, begging with tearful eyes, the children were all around their mother with voices choking with sobs for their little pet.

“Pray tell your boy to stop a moment,” she said in husky (沙哑的) tones to the butcher. The boy, at a word from the butcher, stopped dragging the lamb, and the little creature stopped its bleating.

The boy, at a word from the butcher, stopped dragging the lamb, and the little creature stopped its bleating.

In a trembling voice, Mrs. Grant explained to them how badly off they were after their father died. She also added that the kind butcher had given the money for Daisy. With this money, she could buy her children bread to eat.

2 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Do you know what “noodling” is? It has nothing to do with the noodles that you like to eat. In the    1     (south) United States, noodling is a kind of fishing where you just use your hands. Most of the fish     2     (catch) by noodlers are catfish, which like to hide under overhanging banks. They think their     3     (enemy) can’t see them, so they’re safe. But they’re not! Noodlers feel around under the stream bank, size resting catfish,     4     pull them out of the water.

I learned about noodling when I lived     5     the State of Ohio. Later I moved to Colorado,    6    trout (鳟鱼) swim in mountain streams. I wondered     7     noodling would work on trout, but my friends told me they were too smart and too fast.

Well, I thought it would be worth     8    (try). In the fall, big, beautiful brown trout move into the shallow parts of the Cache la Poudre River. I found a place and, luckily, there were two big trout. When I tried to get close to them, they     9     (hide) themselves under the overhanging bank. I went over and “snacked” my hands under the bank. I felt one! And it didn’t   move.         10       (care), I slid both hands the fish, and then quickly lifted it out of the water onto the bank. Success! I could really noodle trout.

3 . As 13-year-old Sadie Feingold for her Jewish coming-of-age ceremony this year, she had one goal in mind: to raise awareness of children’s mental health struggles.

She said she was inspired to focus on this topic because of her own previous struggles with mental health. “People don’t really talk about mental health as they do with physical health,” Feingold said. “I think that some people feel like it’s not important.”

So, she did some research and read a piece in The New York Times that reported how a proper amount of exercise in adolescents can raise their levels of endorphin (a chemical produced in the brain that reduces the feeling of pain), and in turn, help improve their mental health. Then, Feingold came up with a plan: she would host an exercise class for local teens and families, and raise money to support the North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center in Roslyn Heights, a mental health agency that treats children and families.

She invited family, friends and others to gather in the parking lot of the community (社区) building in Port Washington, and on Sept.13, about 35 kids, teens and adults participates in the 45-minute class of individual exercises, led by a fitness instructor they knew.

She took donations at the class to support the Guidance Center and encouraged those who couldn’t attend to dance as well. Her efforts raised nearly $2,000. Regina Barros-Rivera, associate executive director at Guidance Center, said an effort like this one promoted “positive change” adolescents needed. “Energy creates energy. Talking an action creates a change. And this young lady has created something-not only just that the exercise is good for you, it’s more that she’s creating, and she’s bringing.”
