“Ellie! Ellie! I can’t till your birthday, so here! Open it” 11-year-old Alana shouted on afternoon. She had brought her elder sister Ellie a gift-wrapped box a week before her birthday.

Ellie accepted the box with a smile. However, she asked her sister for help because her arms were too weak that day.

Ellie had cerebral palsy (脑瘫), and she was in a wheelchair. Sometimes, her arms and legs were too weak.

Alana helped her sister with the wrapping, showing a beautiful new Barbie that 12-year-old Ellie looked at closely. Suddenly, her eyes watered, and Alana hugged her tightly, thinking she was happy to receive the gift.

“Isn’t it cool? I saved all my pocket money for it,” Alana proudly said, holding her sister close.

“It’s just… she’s pretty, not like me! I’ll never look like that!” Ellie cried some more.

This was not uncommon. Ellie often cried over not looking like other girls, including her little sister, who was tall and getting more beautiful each day. Her family tried their best to comfort her as she complained about her situation.

“Ellie, think about Natalie. She’s the most beautiful girl ever, and she’s in a wheelchair, just like you!” Alana reminded her.

Natalie was an older girl in their local high school who worked as a model. She had been disabled at a young age, but was now an inspiration to their town.

Ellie and Alana loved Natalie. She was their idol, and their parents had even printed a few pictures off her Instagram so the girls could stick them on their walls.

“You’re right. I must think of Natalie and what she would say in this situation. What do you think she would say?” Ellie asked her little sister. “I think Natalie would encourage us to play with whatever dolls we wanted,” Alana said happily, making Ellie laugh. The tears stopped, and they went to Ellie’s room to play with their Barbies.

A week later, it was finally Elle’s birthday, and she received many amazing gifts. Many people and friends showed up.

Jack’s grandmother’s birthday was around the corner and all the family members were busy preparing a big party for her. It would be a special birthday party, because Grandma Sophie would turn 100 years old on the birthday. The family was filled with atmosphere of mystery and kind of excitement. Everyone was busy doing something secretly. Jack’s sister was knitting (编织) a woolen scarf for Grandma Sophie. She even brought the threads and weaving sticks to school and knitted between the class intervals. Jack’s brother would play the guitar of Grandma Sophie’s favorite song at the birthday party, so he practiced playing whenever he was free. And Jack’s parents were decorating the house and doing shopping.

However, little Jack, the 8-year-old boy, sitting with his favorite toy dinosaur, looked unhappy. He wanted to engage in the big event and to make his grandma happy, but he had no idea. He couldn’t knit as his sister did, nor could he play any musical instrument as his brother did. A birthday card with beautiful pictures would be a good choice. But he had no money to buy a card. What he possessed were lots of cards, which were from families and relatives for his birthday or Christmas and New Year. So little Jack turned to his mother for help.

Jack’s cards came from his friends and relatives all over the country. There were funny cards and serious cards. Some cards had beautiful pictures. Others had silly drawings. Jack saved them all. But his favorite card was from his grandma.

“Why don’t you recycle some of your old birthday and Christmas cards?” Jack’s mother suggested. “What does that mean?” asked Jack. “Recycle means’ to use again’，” said Jack’s mother. “You can create something new from things that have already been used.” “Recycling is a good idea,” said Jack. “I know. I’ll cut out pictures and poems from my old cards. Then I’ll make a big, new card to send to Grandma.”

9 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

I was so excited to take a vacation in Florida for the first time. My sister had invited my daughters and me to go with her family and she even lent me her new, expensive bathing suit (泳衣). It was so comfortable.

The first morning we were there, I put on that bathing suit and we headed to the beach. We played in the water, enjoying the views and sounds of the ocean: the waves, the wind, fish, white sand, seashells, and whatever else drew our attention. I was excited by it all while I was swimming in the cool ocean water.

Suddenly, I felt a deep pain (疼痛) in my right arm. My sister saw my face and rushed to my side. I lifted my arm to find huge blisters (水泡) that circled the entire length of my arm. I had been bitten by a jellyfish (水母).

My sister said, “We have to head back to our room now. I will put some ointment (药膏) on the blisters so that we don't have to rush to the hospital.”

I didn't want to frighten anyone, so I came out of the water quietly with my arm hanging at my side. We had forgotten our towels that morning in a hurry to get to the ocean, so I shook as we walked in silence.

I began to notice people looking at me and pointing me out. It seemed as if the entire beach was laughing at me.

Then I looked down and saw why. That beautiful, expensive bathing suit was completely transparent (透明的) now that it was wet. I became the center of the beach. However, I had no towel for the long travel back to the room!
