5 . It was the final part of the 2016 World Triathlon Series in Mexico. With jus700 meters to go, Alistair Brownlee was in third place and his younger brother Jonny, was in the lead. Alistair pushed himself towards the finish line in the burning heat, but as he came round the corner, he saw his brother about to fall onto the track Alistair had to choose -brotherly love, or a chance to win the race?
For Alistair, the choice was clear. His brother was in trouble. He had to help. Alistair ran towards Jonny, caught him and started pulling him towards the finish line. Alistair then pushed his brother over the line. The move put Jonny in second place and Alistair himself in third. It was an unexpected end to the race, but Alistair did not want to discuss it with the media. He just wanted to see his younger brother who had been rushed to the medical area.
The Brownlee brothers have been doing triathlons since they were children “Obviously, when your older brother is doing it, you think it’s a cool thing to do,’says Jonny. Alistair says that they encourage each other as much as they can where they train. Despite argument s over “stupid things” now and then, Alistair agrees than having a brother is an advantage. “Throughout my entire life, I’ve had my brother trying to beat me at everything I do. It has been a fantastic driving force.”
Watched by millions, the ending to the race has varied opinions: should the brothers have been disqualified or highly praised for their actions? But for Alistair his decision was easy to explain: “Mum wouldn’t have been happy if I’d left Jonny behind.” At that moment, he was no longer an athlete aiming for a me dal - he was just a brother.
1. Why did Alistair get third place only?A.Because he fell onto the track accidentally. |
B.Because he was overtaken by another athlete. |
C.Because he stopped to give his brother a hand. |
D.Because he struggled with the burning heat. |
A.It was difficult for Alistair to make the decision of helping his brother. |
B.Alistair was only worried about his brother’s health condition. |
C.The end result led to an unexpected discussion among the audience. |
D.The media tried to prevent Alistair from going to the medical area. |
A.An inspiration. | B.An authority. |
C.A burden. | D.A follower. |
A.Unfavorably. | B.Supportively. |
C.Uninterestedly. | D.Differently. |
A.Love and competition between the Brownlee brothers make them successful athletes. |
B.For Alistair Brownlee, family love is more important than winning the triathlon final. |
C.Triathlon is a kind of extreme sport which challenges human’s physical limit. |
D.The public and media often have different opinions on social issues. |
I had been going through some difficult times not so long ago dealing with the pressures of growing up and trying to communicate with my parents, particularly my mother. Our relationship had suffered because of this. When I got angry, it seemed like we would end up fighting with each other and not talk about what we were really feeling. Luckily, I have solved those problems now after we had a heart-to-heart “talk”.
A while back I ran away from home so that I could be far enough away to cool down. I stayed away for many hours, well into the night, before I finally decided to return home. When I walked through the front door, I immediately saw all the pain, anger and disappointment on my parents’ faces, especially my mother’s. For days to come, my mom and I experienced a lot of suffering. Everything we did or said was filled with tension until we were unable to control our feelings. We knew we badly needed to have a talk. We agreed to have breakfast together the next morning. That morning will remain fresh in my memory forever. It was a turning point.
We decided to go to a local café. On our way to the table, I noticed that my mother had two notebooks and some pens. I asked her what they were for. She explained to me that sometimes it was easier to write down our feelings rather than try to talk about them. She then handed me one notebook and she kept the other. The rules for that talk were that she would pick a topic, and we would write down our feelings, and then exchange our notebooks. It could be as long or as short as we wanted.

7 . “Don’t quit that trip,” Mom said anxiously, as I tried to find the flight route through my tears. Doctors had just informed us that she had a deadly disease. My husband and I were set to leave for Cuba the next morning. As we boarded the airport shuttle, she said, “Don’t cry Jackie, try to have a good time, and bring me back a good CD. I’ll be here when you get back.”
That was Dec.31, 2019. She passed away on Feb.11, 2020. Looking through photos from our trip and listening to music gave her some of her final smiles. For the rest of my days, I’ll be reminded of the way she found joy in other people’s experiences and happiness.
When I was about 5, out shopping with my mom, I led her to the next passage, and cheerfully shouted, “Mom, look at this cute little lady!” That was an adult woman not much bigger than me. Instead of making me apologize to the woman straight away, she calmly said, “Jackie.” When I looked up to catch her eyes, she tugged on her right ear, which was a signal for “I will explain this to you when we get home.”
I remember when I was 8, my friend and I were going to play basketball through our local team. We were the only two girls on the team, but after the first game, my friend gave up. I didn’t want to become the only girl on the team so I wanted to give up. But my mom explained: You made a promise to the team; you need to stick it out for the season.
When I see the parents in my life filled with stress over keeping up with appearances and modern trends, I want to tell them to remember it’s them that their children will remember when they’re gone. Who they are, what they taught, and how they taught it. That’s what will outlive them in the hearts and minds of their children.
1. What made Mom smile in her darkest hour?A.Finding happiness from her daughter’s happy experiences. |
B.Remembering joy from your own past. |
C.Making good preparations for a trip. |
D.Listening to good CD music about her daughter’s trip. |
A.Recommending her to apologize to the lady at once. |
B.Signaling to her to wait for an explanation at home. |
C.Asking her to keep silent right away. |
D.Beating her immediately for her bad manners. |
A.One should keep one’s promise in life. |
B.One has to be careful enough. |
C.One needs to do his best. |
D.One should never lose his confidence. |
A.Keeping children following the modern trends. |
B.Providing children with good conditions. |
C.Teaching children personally at home. |
D.Impressing being yourself on children. |
My Life on an Island
We live on the island of Hale. It’s about four kilometers long and two kilometers wide at its broadest point, and it’s joined to the mainland by a causeway
We were on our way back
So, anyway, Dad and I had driven to the mainland and picked up Dominic from the station. He had been talking non-stop from the moment he’d got in the car. University this, university that, writers, books, parties, people, money…I didn’t like the way he spoke and waved his hands around
We were about halfway across when I saw a boy. My first thought was how odd it was
When I was in Primary school, our class decided to make “May Day baskets” for our mothers anonymously (匿名). For days, we worked on creating paper baskets, following a magic design shared by our teacher Miss Cosmos.
We finished right on time. Miss Cosmos brought some bright flowers for us to fill our baskets with. We had to wait until the day was nearly over. When the bell rang, we picked our schoolbags, carefully held our offerings of love and ran back home!
I was so excited! I ran as fast as I could down the hill and across the street. After arrival, when deciding to hang the basket lovingly on our door, I was surprised that my flowers were gone! There was only an empty basket! I stood in front of the door and began to cry.
Soon, my mom came to the door to discover the source of the sadness. While she helped me off with my coat and school things, I tried to talk about my terrible situation. As she listened, she wiped (擦拭) my face and touched my hair with the other hand. I fell weakly into her arms.
Then Mom did what I would never forget. She took a knife from the kitchen and my poor little empty basket from the table. We went to our garden where there were some beautiful flowers. She cut one, placed it in my basket, handed me the knife, and then went to the house to prepare dinner. Slowly, as I cut the flowers and arranged them in my paper basket, my gift was ready to be offered. Suddenly, I realized the surprise, so important to my deed, was now totally gone. But at least, I had my May Day basket with flowers.

1.写作词数应为80左右;

I hung the basket on our door, knocked, and hid.

In 1963, at age 65, my grandfather, Erwin, decided to start a crazy project: He wanted to build a new house. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with the old house. It seemed a waste to destroy it, but something had to give, since it sat where the new house would be. At last, he hired a powerful vehicle to push the old house far out into a forest.
After my grandfather passed away, I purchased a near farm. When we first moved in, we asked friends to a party. They took one look at the old house and all suggested pulling it down. I agreed. Days later, I was prepared to carry out the project. But I considered it wise to check out the old house first, just in case something of value had been left behind.
My two young sons followed, and we walked through the tall grass in the field where the old house sat. Time had caused a lot of damage to it. The front porch (门廊) had fallen down, most of the windows were gone, and the siding was falling off. The kids were amazed that nine people once occupied the tiny structure, and that they did so without running water or electricity. We entered through an open window.
I felt as though I had discovered a time capsule (胶囊) unexpectedly. Here lay various witnesses to my grandparents’ lives. A broken chair, some old clothes, large bags used for grain, a cookstove and a cardboard box stuffed with canceled checks and greeting cards. But a pile of papers on the floor drew my eye. An envelope, yellowed with age, lay on top. A blue stamp on the envelope read “Passed by Naval Censor”. I knew it was from my father. He had served in the navy and written home whenever he could. My grandmother saved all of his letters. Father passed away due to a massive heart attack two years ago. The entire family was sad about his passing, none more than me. I’ve been missing him badly.
