Melia and her father had just finished building a tree house in the backyard. Melia wanted to decorate the walls, and instead of buying things, she decided to make her own art.

Melia enjoyed making collages using a combination of photos she had taken and pieces of fabric. For her tree house, she thought she would use pictures from magazines instead. She could collect used magazines from neighbors, so the pictures would be free. And to create a collage of all her favorite things, she could add pretty leaves, and fruits of pine tree from the yard.

For several days, Melia collected bits of nature to use for the collage. She also collected magazines from the neighbors. She piled both at the front door, as her plan was to make the collage over the weekend. Oddly, though she added to the piles each day, many of the leaves were gone, and the pile of magazines was a mess.

“Dad? Mom?” Melia asked. “Have either of you been taking the supplies for my collage off the door?” “Now, why on earth would we do that?” her dad answered with a question. “I don’t know, but what I do know is that someone is spoiling my art project! It’s my mission to find out who and why!” Melia declared.

Who would want to steal this stuff? She had a plan. She cleaned up the rest of the leaves and threw the ruined magazines in the recycling bin. She started collecting old magazines again, hoping to set a trap. Even if she had to stay up all night, Melia was determined to solve the case.

Once she had collected a large pile of magazines, Melia formed several piles at the front door. She placed them close to the window so that she could catch the thief. She asked her parents if she could sleep on the sofa. “I know they’re used magazines, but I need them for my art project. I have to solve this case!”

Melia was determined to catch the thief, but she had a difficult time staying awake. Within a few hours, she nodded off. Just as the sun was rising, a slight sound awoke her.

Melia ran back into the house, shouting, “It’s a squirrel! Wake up! Come to the tree house and look!”

2 . The rest of your daily routine is probably something like mine：Divided among streaming movies on Netflix, watching home improvement videos on YouTube and playing video games. There has to be more to life than this. With the holiday season upon us, now it is a good time to take a breather and consider a digital detox.     1     Here’s what we can do.

Come Up With a Plan.

    2     — after all, many students are attending school via videoconferencing apps. So Step One is assessing which parts of screen time feel toxic and make you unhappy. Step Two is creating a realistic plan to minimize consumption of the bad stuff.

Create No­Phone Zones.

“My No.1 piece of advice is no phone in the bedroom overnight,” Dr. Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, said. “Have a charging station outside the bedroom.”    3     The dinner table, for example, is a prime opportunity for families to agree to put phones away for at least 30 minutes and reconnect.

    4    

Social media sites create goals to keep users engaged. Those include the number of likes and followers we accumulate on Twitter. YouTube automatically plays the next recommended video, not to mention the never­ending Twitter scrolling. For starters, we can resist the hooks by making our phones less intrusive. Turn off notifications for all apps except those that are essential for work and keeping in touch with people you care about.     5    

A．Resist the Hooks.

B．Not all screen time is bad.

C．Say no to Facebook or Twitter.

D．So I turned to psychology experts for their advice.

E．Whenever we are at home, we can put phones away.

F．Outside of our bedrooms, we can create other No­Phone Zones.

G．If you feel strongly addicted, take an extreme measure and turn the phone to grayscale mode.

A few years ago, I was working in a grocery store(食品杂货店). As there were too many customers during the Christmas holidays, I was not used to the management nor the customers there. As I was checking groceries that morning, an elderly man in a wheelchair came through my check stand with a basket filled with candies, soft drinks and other small things. As I finished ringing up his goods, I told the man how much he should pay. He presented an out-of-state cheque(支票) from his son. He explained to me that his son had sent him the cheque for his Christmas present and he wanted to use it to buy gifts for the friends and wonderful workers at the nursing home where he lived, which was a few blocks behind the store. When he talked about them, he appeared very happy.

Since this was not my “home” store, I needed to check the cheque before accepting it. When the manager came over, she looked annoyed and told the gentleman that it was out of the question, in a very impolite manner. She told the gentleman he would just have to go to a bank to cash the cheque. The elderly gentleman started to softly cry as he looked up at me. He was sorry for being unable to pay his bill. He had no choice but to leave with nothing to take.

Seeing his lonely figure(人影), I felt my heart stopped. I could only think this man could be my grandfather. I was sure he must have been a wonderful functioning member of our society before he went to the nursing home because of illness and old age. I was influenced by his kindness and gentleness on his face, and couldn’t believe the impolite way the young manager had refused the gentleman’s request. I felt sad while trying to check out for the next few customers.

10 . 阅读下面短文.在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Ten years ago, the Italian area of Cinque Terre experienced a heavy flood. Everyone in Cinque Terre has a story to tell about that terrible day. One of the most amazing     1     (story) comes from a local hotel owner, Pierpaolo Paradisi. His life was saved by his dog, Leo,     2     his hotel is named after now.

On that day, he took Leo to work. By the time they arrived at the hotel, the storm     3     (start) already—heavy rain, thunder and hail (冰雹). He decided to go back     4     (early) than usual, worrying the weather would only get worse.

“Even in the first mile, the weather changed sharply—I had never seen     5     terrible weather like that before that I was driving extremely slowly. The dog had sat in the back of the car     6     silence all the way. As the car made its way around the cliff (悬崖), Leo suddenly made his move.”

“He jumped into the front and onto my knees, so I had to stop,” says Paradisi. “I couldn’t concentrate on driving—I said     7     (angry), ‘Leo, I am driving.’” At that moment—just as he wanted     8     (move) the dog off his lap and get going again—the cliff fell away in front of them.

“Rocks rolled down from the mountain. Obviously, Leo was telling me in this way if we moved meter further forward, we would     9     (hit),” he says. Paradisi believes that Leo saved both     10     (they) lives.
