Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.

Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面 )”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her!

Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.

One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!

“What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”

“Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look.

Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around the garden, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter lingering around the classroom.

3 . Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer.    1     In 2010, Hill was in a car accident, which left the 17-year-old high school senior paralyzed from the waist down. For most people, that would have destroyed any hope of a dancing career. But for Hill, it was the beginning. Far from being a barrier, her wheelchair encouraged her to fight and be normal.

    2    , so Hill did it in her wheelchair. Half of her body was taken away from her, so she had to move it with her hands.     3    .

After graduation from high school, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her.    4    . They were fighting for the dream of dancing against various spinal (脊椎的) injuries. To reach more people, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities called the Rollettes.

Every year Hill holds a dance camp called the Rollettes Experience for wheelchair users to help them bring out their acting talent. In 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended.    5

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。

Ben was awakened by a gunshot. He looked out toward the frozen lake. Near the trees he saw a shining piece of metal. When it moved, Ben saw that it was a long gun. A minute later a man wearing hunting clothes came out of the woods.

Suddenly a bird flew upward. The man quickly put the gun to his shoulder and shot. Ben watched the bird, praying it had not been hurt. It flew near the ground and went into some tall bushes. Safe, Ben thought. The hunter didn't move for a moment. Then he began to follow the bird. “No hunting!” Ben shouted, “No hunting on my property!” The man called back, “where can I hunt?”

Ben had just finished putting on his clothes when he heard another gunshot. He walked toward the lake. Fight was the last thing he wanted, but the man must go. Suddenly he heard a bird’s wings beating the dry grass. Ben moved quickly towards the sound. He saw a colored head... the head of a beautiful bird. The bird flapped its wings, one of which was broken completely.

Ben lifted the bird and held it close against his body. It fought to escape, but soon lay quietly in Ben’s arms. Ben decided to take the bird home and fix its broken wing so that it could fly again. He was almost through the woods when he heard the hunter behind him. “You just find that bird? the hunter asked, stepping closer and said, “Give me that bird!”

“You get off my hand,” Ben told him. The man’s face got red, “Mister,” he said, “I have been hunting here all my life. I grew up here.” Ben looked into the hunter’s gray eyes, his voice raised, “I do not know who you are and I do not care. I own this place and I am telling you to leave!” “Now look, mister,” the hunter insisted, “be reasonable.” He raised his gun. A cold wind blew across Ben’s face. He felt a chill go down his spine (脊背). He could still give the bird to the hunter and return home safe.
