1 . 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。

When I was 14 years old, I was a straight A student in the middle school of our small town. I didn’t try particularly hard, I just went to all my classes and paid attention. I could get good grades with minimal effort. I had a great group of friends too: kids I grew up with, that I had known nearly all my life. We hung out together on weekends very often. It seemed there was nothing to be worried about. I think it was the happiest time in my teenage years.

Then my family moved to the UK just before I went to high school because my father changed his job, and everything changed. I was the only Asian in my class. Overnight, I had no friends, and was in a new country where everyone was different. While trying to adapt to the new surroundings and cultures, it turned out that going to public school in a big city like London was much harder than the tiny classroom in my home country that I was used to. Teachers barely knew my name, and all the other kids thought I was strange because of my accent.

It was so hard to fit in. I went to school alone, ate in the canteen alone, and studied in the library alone. No one even wanted to be in the same group with me in class as I always couldn’t understand what other students were talking about. I would cry all night when I went back home. The only thing I dreamed of was going back to the place I once belonged to!

The class and subjects in the UK were so much different to me. Although I had taken English classes before we moved here, the teachers spoke English so fast that I couldn’t catch up at all! Just as I expected, I started underperforming: I tried so hard, but it just wasn’t working. I studied a lot, but then I’d go to the exam, and would get so nervous. Sweating and trembling, I felt like my mind would go blank. All that effort, and I failed anyway. I started to lose my self-confidence. Maybe I wasn’t good enough.

4 . 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。

This morning I went shopping and in a surrounded area where the shopping trolleys(购物车) are housed, I saw a young man who appeared very troubled. He was thin, dirty and very much alone. I went over to see if he was OK and asked if I could get him something. He said he was OK and that he didn’t want anything.

Oh, my heart went out to this man who appeared to have a mental(精神的)illness and to be homeless. He was so tired and he looked very sad. His feet were in worn shoes. He had a small backpack, a cap, a pair of well-worn runners and a can of coke with him.

While shopping I kept an eye on him to see if he’d moved away or was still there. As he hadn’ t moved on, I bought him a sandwich, a couple of bottles of water, some bananas, muesli bars and some cheese and put them in a bag for him.

As I gave the bag to him, I sensed he was astonished at the simple act of kindness. He said, “You didn’t have to do that for me”, to which I answered “I wanted to. ” I spoke to him again as I was returning my trolley and he was clearly mentally unwell but I took the time to listen to him.

He introduced himself as Nathan and I introduced myself to him. I hope Nathan felt a little bit of love and human kindness today in a world where many people like him are ignored(忽视), and given up. I’m sure Nathan never expected to be where he was now when he was growing up.

I won’ t forget Nathan easily. His sad brown eyes, his tiredness and my short connection with him today touched me deeply. I wonder what situations have brought him to his present state. I came to know his past experiences.

7 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节和给定段落开头语进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

When I was six years old, I visited my grandfather’s farm in Kansas and he sent me into the woods to gather pecans (胡桃) for us to enjoy later. The pecans were about the size of a man’s thumbnail and just about the tastiest snack I’d ever had.

However, pecan picking was really tiring and my little bucket was only half full after working hard for a long time. I thought I wouldn’t let Grandpa down. Just then something caught my eye. A large brown squirrel was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree, jumped up to the trunk and disappeared in a large hole. A moment later the squirrel popped back out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place inside the hollow of the tree.

Not so secret anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my bucket. Now it was almost full! I was so proud of myself that I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans.

I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the bucket and asked, “Well, well, how did you find so many?” I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.

Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the bucket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders.

9 . I will never forget the first dessert class at a cooking school in France, where a group of anxious dessert students (myself included) were tasked with preparing an apple pie. It looked simple enough, but I soon realized that it was as far from simple as it could be. However, my knife and I mastered this French classic, as well as dozens of others.

After graduating, I found a job at a modern American restaurant in Florida. Despite the restaurant’s tiny kitchen, I was excited to work under Sylvia, the executive chef (主厨). The first job she gave me was to make apple pies. I couldn’t have been more excited — until I realized these pies were actually in the form of a dumpling. But my education had made me stick to French tradition. It took me a minute to get comfortable with this way of cooking again. Slowly, I was forgetting my French tradition, and beginning to go with the flow more. The response from diners was good. Our desserts were sold out on most days.

Then one day, chef Sylvia gave me the chance to make a new dessert and planned to add it to the menu for a week. Surprised and touched by the chance, I decided to go all out. I created a seasonal citrus mousse (柑橘慕斯) made with Florida oranges and pistachio croquant (a crisp, delicate cookie). But after a week, the apple pie dumplings continued to far outsell my special dessert. A sense of frustration went inside of me.

It finally made me aware that there isn’t one “right” way to understand a cuisine, or set of ingredients (配料). Where one chef can look at apples, butter, and flour and see a French apple pie, another might see baked apple dumplings. Even though each person’s translation may be different, I think they all deserve a spot on the table. And that was the most important lesson I discovered, through something as seemingly simple as fruit and dough (生面团).

C．There is no fixed way for cooking.

D．Understanding a cuisine is necessary.

B．A new dessert on the menu.

C．A special class at a cooking school.

D．A lesson taken as a dessert chef.

10 . “I’m going to get Omama a parrot,” my mother announced. Omama was my old grandmother. “It will give her something to care for, which helps her exercise her mind and avoid decline in memory,” my mother continued. “A little bird may make things lively and cheer her up.” I nodded since Omama loved pets in the past.

Omama had reached America from Ireland, and her memory was full of tales from the old country. She loved nothing better than to reminisce (回忆). Once she got going, you might as well feel comfortable and go back to the wonderful past with her. So in the foreign land, my mother sent her a parrot to accompany her.

When receiving the bird, Omama called it Patrick. My mother gave her the feeding instructions. Omama listened and promised, “I’ll not starve him. He’ll eat better than me! He’ll sleep better than me! And I’ll play the sweetest music to him.” As we walked toward the door, Omama was starting her record player and promising Patrick that he would hear some real Irish music. “Listen well and tell me what you think,” we heard her words.

Later, Omama often called us to report his wonderful behaviors. When she sat on the doorway to get some air, Patrick went along; when seeing her, Patrick would show excited behaviors. Omama often showed off the smart bird to her neighbors. She was crazy about Patrick. If we called to say that we planned to visit her, Omama would say, “Hold on, please,” while she announced to Patrick that we were coming.

Omama liked Patrick and thought highly of him. She had possessed many pets but Patrick was distinct from all others; Omama had assured me of that more than once. Still, nothing prepared me for the day when Patrick would take my breath away.

That day I visited Omama. She quickly went to the kitchen, and I sat on the sofa, Patrick looked at me. “Hello, Patrick,” I said. He replied, “Good morning, Patrick. Hello, Patrick. Pretty bird.” My mouth dropped open. It was not because of Patrick’s words. What shocked me was that every word Patrick said was spoken in a perfect Irish accent!

I suddenly realized that we all were shaped by our unique culture. We should value it and be proud of it.
