Liam, a fifth-grader, moved with his mum for a new apartment in a relatively cheaper area of the city after his father’s unexpected death, and began attending a neighbourhood school.

Since he was an introvert (内向的人), the thought of making friends always made him feel nervous, and moving into a new neighbourhood meant he had to face his fears. On his first day, he didn’t talk to anyone or try to make friends, and during the mealtime, he sat at the corner table in the cafeteria and ate his lunch alone. No one in the class stepped forward to welcome him. Instead, they ignored him and refused to sit next to him in class.

The next day, he was sitting alone in the classroom when a boy approached him and asked, “Can I sit next to you?”

“Sure,” Liam smiled.

“I’m Joel. And you? ”

“Liam.”

“Is it your first day today?”

“No, it’s my second day. I recently moved into this neighbourhood.”

“Oh, I didn’t know that. I skipped (逃避) school yesterday, so I thought it was your first day today.”

As days passed, Liam and Joel discovered that they lived on the same street. After school, they often played catch in the nearby park, a game they both loved playing. It only took Liam a few weeks to become best friends with Joel.

One day, Joel skipped school, and Liam had to sit alone in class, wondering why. Feeling worried, he went to ask his class teacher.

“Liam, I’m so sorry, but your best friend got into an accident last night,” the teacher put her hand on Liam’s shoulder. “He lost his parents in the car crash.”

“Oh no!” Liam covered his face with his hands.

Two months later, Joel was allowed to go home after a spinal (脊柱的) surgery. However, he couldn’t walk and was restricted to a wheelchair. The day he arrived home with his grandmother, Liam rushed to Joel's house with a candy bar and the ball they used to play catch with Joel’s eyes lit upon seeing Liam. The boys talked to each other for hours before Liam’s mother came to pick him up at night.

注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

While he was happy to see his friend after months, he felt terrible knowing Joel could never walk again.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ten days later, Liam asked Joel to play catch with him outside and he agreed.

9 . People may typically think of memory as the recollection of the past. Memory enables people to learn from past experiences and apply that knowledge in present cases. It is an important part of our identity. So is culture, the way of life specific to a group of people.

Cultural memory is the constructed understanding of the past that is passed from one generation to the next through text, oral traditions, monuments and other symbols. Cultural memory is often amassed in objects, such as museums or historical monuments. To understand culture, humans access a mass of cultural symbols, such as books. Artifacts (历史文物) of the past provide insights into where we came from. Libraries and the Internet keep a seemingly boundless amount of data on what it means to be part of a culture. Cultural memory is the longest-lasting form of memory.

Like all forms of memory, cultural memory has important functions. For example, it makes the experiences a nation owns clear. It provides us with an understanding of the past and the values of the group to which we belong. Besides, it creates a form of shared identity and a means for communicating this identity to new members. The most powerful forms of cultural memory may involve memories of past disastrous experiences undergone by groups of victims. For example, in Russia, their role in World War II —in which tens of millions of Russians were killed — is still an important part of modern Russian identity. Because all groups have cultural memory, it can bring about a spirit of resistance or survival among threatened groups.

The main function of cultural memory is not to recall the past, whether it is good or bad. Rather, it is to use knowledge of past experiences to avoid making the same mistakes again and again. Aleida Assmann, a professor who has worked on memory theory since the 1960s, calls this “remembering forward”. Cultural memory enables people to adapt to their culture; it enables cultures to adapt to new circumstances by keeping traces (痕迹) of what worked in the past.

1. What is the function of the first paragraph?

A．Reporting a discovery of cultural memory.

B．Leading to the concept of cultural memory.

C．Introducing the importance of memory in identity.

D．Making a connection between memory and culture.

2. Which can replace the underlined word “amassed” in paragraph 2?

A．Stored.

B．Ignored.

C．Damaged.

D．Created.

3. Russia is mentioned in paragraph 3 to indicate ______.

A．the features of cultural memory	B．the formation of cultural memory
C．the role of big events in Russian identity	D．the impact of cultural memory on identity

4. What is cultural memory mainly expected to do?

A．Pass previous wisdom down.	B．Keep traces of history.
C．Get people to know about the past.	D．Remind people of their identity.

10 . What does Peter feel sad about?
