Last week, I watched a movie, naming A Dog’s Way Home from Sony Pictures, what mainly tells about dogs at animal shelters. Through the movie, I learned that much of those dogs have to be put to the death if they aren’t adopted. The followed day I told my parents that I wanted to visit to the animal shelter in our city and take a dog home. They strong supported my idea of adopting a dog and we choose a brown one at last. I hope that more dogs at animal shelters can find their permanently home. I also hope that dog owner will keep their pets instead giving them up.

5 . 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“Happy birthday, dear Rhea, happy birthday to you!” Silence penetrated (穿透) the room.

“Make a wish," my mom said in a sweet whisper. Now, I’m a straight A student, confident and popular, but that’s not what I was a year ago. It was my mom’s love that made me what I am today. Looking around the room filled with my friends, I couldn't help but smile.

I wish...

Memories flooded back. The December morning breeze brushed my long, black hair as I stepped towards the doors of Hagenberg High. It was my first day of school. Only two weeks ago, my mom and I migrated to America, hoping for a bright new life.

My English was poor, and I was alone, like a lost little kid. I unknowingly avoided interacting with anyone because I was afraid they’d laugh in my face. When my English was better, I decided, I would come up to people and maybe manage to say, “Whussup?”

Finally in gym class, a friendly brown face. She almost looked like me, only happier .Her name was Caroline. At lunchtime we found ourselves enjoying the cafeteria food. She wanted me to meet her friends. “Don’t worry Rhea,” she assured me, calling me “sister”, “You’ll fit right in.”

And I did. It was as if some foreign soul entered my body and made me do things against my will. I found myself drinking beer, smoking cigarettes and skipping school. I didn't even like the taste of beer. The moment it touched my tongue I felt like I had to spit it back. But I didn't. I couldn’t afford to look bad and lose my new “friends”. I began to miss at least one day of school a week to hang out with them. Then I missed two, three, even four days in a row.

But while I was out having fun with my “friends,” inside I was full of conflict, unhappiness and regret. I stopped practicing my English sentences in front of the mirror and instead practiced, “I don’t know why the school called, mom. There must be something wrong in the system because I did not miss school today.”

注意：

（1）续写词数应为150左右；

（2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

One day the school teacher called my mom and the truth came out.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

My mom’s voice awakened me from my thoughts, “Have you made your birthday wish yet, sweetie?”

6 . In most situations, bystanders’ responses like disapproving glares, uninvited comments or pieces of advice to a child’s angry behavior can add to the stress of the situation. But sometimes bystanders’ truly understand, and sometimes their words or actions can make a positive difference. One mom experienced this firsthand.

This mom was noticeably pregnant and traveling alone with her young son at a Los Angeles airport. Then things had taken a turn for the worse.

The boy, about 18 months old, was in the midst of what Beth, a Facebook user, referred to as a “total meltdown”. He was running all over the place, kicking, screaming, and flopping down (趴) on the floor, dead set on not getting aboard the plane. His mom did her best to calm him down, but, according to Beth, “she couldn’t pick him up because he was so upset. He kept running away from her, then lying down on the ground, kicking                           and screaming again.” Finally, the mom came to her wit’s end. She sat down on the floor next to her son, buried her face in her hands, and began to cry.

Then the most amazing thing happened.

A group of six or seven women, Beth included, circled around the mother-son pair and did something to help. Beth sang him “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider.” Another offered an orange. Another gave him a toy she had on hand. Another helped get his cup out of Mom’s bag. Yet another tended to Mom by offering her a water bottle. With the help of these incredible women, the kid and his mother calmed down and were able to board the plane.

And then life moved on. All of the strangers went their separate ways without speaking of what had happened. But Beth said it was something she’d never forget. “We were strangers, gathering to solve something,” she wrote. “It occurred to me that a circle of women, with a mission, can save the world.”

1. What reaction of the bystanders is proper to a child’s angry behavior?

A．Understanding and trying to help.	B．Offering parents some advice.
C．Commenting on the situation.	D．Stopping the child by glaring.

2. What does the underlined part “came to her wit’s end” probably mean?

A．Burst into tears.	B．Felt totally at a loss.
C．Gave in to her kid.	D．Ran away from her kid.

3. What were the group of women like?

A．Professional.

B．Courageous.

C．Calm.

D．Considerate.

4. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To describe a great volunteer Beth.	B．To introduce some incredible women.
C．To show how strangers can help out.	D．To appeal to people to care for children.

7 . Ever since I was young, I have loved professional wrestling.

8 . We moved to Elmont in 1956. I was 4 years old. Elmont was a wonderful place to grow up. There were lots of kids，great schools and we had a big yard. Having grown up a city kid, my father, Nicholas Denaro, believed that grass was not just to look at, but that children were meant to play on it. We played games and badminton there. A white fence separated our backyard from a small wood. My friends and I jumped the fence and climbed trees.

My father had the most amazing hands. He could fix anything. He gave those amazing hands to his son, my younger brother, Frank, who also became handy around the house. But my father saved his green fingers for me. He grew flowers, tomatoes, strawberries and figs and he shared his love of gardening with me.

Fourteen years ago, I went to a local nursery and purchased a fig tree for Dad for Father’s Day. My mother, Bridget Denaro, called it the best gift I could have given him. He planted it exactly in the middle of the front yard.

He loved that tree and enjoyed delicious figs every year, except just after Sandy hit in 2012. He was so disappointed when cold weather just after the superstorm froze all the remaining figs.

In 2015，my father died of aspirating pneumonia (呼吸性肺炎) at 97. We sold our family home of 61years last year. We left behind Dad's tree, full of figs waiting to ripen. We briefly-considered taking it with us, but decided that his Father's Day fig tree belonged in Elmont. The new owners generously allowed me to take some branches so that I could have a precious reminder of my much-loved father and the Elmont home.

10 . I was raised in a house where my sisters and I weren't trusted by our mother to manage our own appearance. A few years ago, I was home for a visit when my mom, now in her early 70s, called me into her bedroom. We were ready to leave for dinner. "I don't know what to wear." she complained." You girls always look so good."

I paused in the doorway and looked at her, wondering if I'd misheard." What do you mean?" I asked her." You know what to wear. " "No, "she answered, "I don't. Can you pick some for me?" I was so surprised.

This was the same woman that, in 1989, told my younger sister she wasn't allowed to leave the house wearing a pair of ripped(撕碎的) jeans; the same woman that, in high school called me while I was out at a party to ask if my hair was tied up. "You look better with it down," she told me. Before I could answer I realized, suddenly, that my mother not only wanted my opinion, but also needed it. I pulled a pair of blue jeans and a light blue sweater."Wear them with your black shoes," I told her. She did. My mother certainly doesn't need anyone to take care of her. In fact, she still cares for my grandmother who lives with her. But with that question, my mother and I started the role reversal(转换) that happens to all parents and all children, from caregivers to receivers.

Now, if I'm visiting or we're together, it's rare for her to wear anything without checking with me first. But every so often, it seems that she asks me just to be able to disagree with my answer and pick out something on her own. And when she does, I just tell her what I think of the way she looks. Sometimes it's "great",and sometimes it's “awful”.

A．She was happy to do something for her mother.

B．She came to realize that her mother needed her care.

C．She was worried that her mother was too old to live alone.

D．She had no idea what was suitable for her mother.

2. When the author gives her opinion about clothes, what does her mother do?

A．She always accepts her suggestions happily.

B．She sometimes chooses to follow her own ideas.

C．She is often surprised by what the author says.

D．She still shows uncertainty about what to wear.

3. What's the author's purpose of writing this article?
