Summer Clothing from Ancient China
Sha Gown A sha gown was unearthed from Han Tomb No. 1 at Mawangdui in Changsha, Hunan province, in 1972. It is the earliest, most well-preserved, most graceful and thinnest dress in the world. The plain gown, “thin as a cicada (蝉) wing” and “light as smoke”, weighs 49 grams. Shaw as highly valued and luxurious (奢侈的) for common people.
Luo Robe Well-suited for the southern regions of China, luo has larger holes in the fabric compared with sha, making it more lightweight and breathable. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties, luo was mainly used for the upper class, and only officials of fifth rank or higher were permitted to wear clothes made of the material.
Ge Clothes Resourceful individuals discovered a method to use plant fibers for clothing production, significantly reducing the cost of summer garments, that is Ge. Known as kudzu or Chinese arrowroot, Ge represents the earliest use of natural fiber as fabric in China. Once the lunar month of June arrived, people would usually change to get clothing.
Liang dang A classic style of costume appeared during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Liang dang consists of front and back pieces, later called the vest. It was convenient for people who work outdoors for long periods.
1. What is the common feature of sha and luo
A. Light and expensive. B. Thick and graceful.

In 2007, Christine Me Millan interviewed seniors about their most pressing needs, who lived in Bowling Green 2, a private apartment building. It offers great conveniences: affordable apartments and within walking distance of grocery stores, drugstores and banks. However, the 12 citizens McMillan spoke to shared a serious unaddressed problem: loneliness. Most sat in their apartments all day, watching TV and napping and living on tea, toast and cereal because they were unwilling to cook a proper meal for themselves. They were afraid of going into long-term care but couldn’t afford to move to a nursing home (养老院).
“What they said really concerned me,” says McMillan. “Why couldn’t the activities and meals in the common room of a nursing home exist in the shared spaces of a private apartment building ”
McMillan and her team, who named their concept Oasis, encouraged Bowling Green 2’s landlord (房东) to let the group use the common room and to change an unused space into a coffee lounge for members. In 2010, with funding (资金) from the government, they hired fulltime workers to run the program, including group exercise classes and activities like art lessons and Wii bowling. Meanwhile, Oasis partnered with St. Lawrence College, whose culinary (烹饪的) students created healthy meals for a small fee. Within the first year, the program almost doubled in size.
Seventy-seven-year-old Elaine Watier, who moved into the building and joined Oasis in 2017, immediately benefited from the program, learning to play bridge and starting a craft group that makes projects for local charities and hospitals. “It’s given me a sense of worth,” she says. “And I’m never lonely.”
In 2018, Oasis attracted the attention of researchers at Queen’s University. “I saw this as an perfect program to support older adults at home,” explains Catherine Donnelly, director of the school’s Health Services and Policy Research Institute, reporting the program had led to fewer falls, less inactivity, better nutrition and an increased sense of community.
4. What is probably the major concern of the 12 citizens in Bowling Green 2
A. Cooking tasty meals. B. Going to a nursing home.
C. Settling extreme loneliness. D. Attending routine activities
5. What can we learn from Oasis in paragraph 3
A. It was warmly received by the senior citizens.
B. It provided meals to culinary students for free.
C. It received economic support from organizations.
D. It hired part-time workers to operate the program.
6. Why does the author mention Elaine Watier
A. To draw more funding. B. To attract more older adults.
C. To achieve a sense of worth. D. To show the benefits of Oasis.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Loneliness: The Universal Issue
B. McMillan: The Founder of Oasis
C. Oasis: The Home of Senior Citizens
D. Activities: The Art Lessons for Old People
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了帮助老年人的项目——Oasis的具体情况,例如原因、发起者、意义等等。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中“However, the 12 citizens McMillan spoke to shared a serious unaddressed problem: loneliness. (然而,麦克米伦采访的12位市民都有一个严重的未解决问题:孤独)”可知,解决极度的孤独可能是鲍灵格林2号的12名市民最关心的问题。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“McMillan and her team, who named their concept Oasis, encouraged Bowling Green 2’s landlord (房东) to let the group use the common room and to change an unused space into a coffee lounge for members. n 2010, with funding (资金) from the government, they hired fulltime workers to run the program, including group exercise classes and activities like art lessons and Wii bowling. Meanwhile, Oasis partnered with St. Lawrence College, whose culinary (烹饪的) students created healthy meals for a small fee. Within the first year, the program almost doubled in size. (McMillan和她的团队将他们的概念命名为Oasis,他们鼓励鲍灵格林2号的房东让他们使用公共休息室,并将一个未使用的空间改为成员的咖啡休息室。2010年,在政府的资助下,他们雇佣了全职员工来管理这个项目,包括团体锻炼课程以及艺术课和Wii保龄球等活动。与此同时,Oasis与St. Lawrence College合作,后者的烹饪专业学生制作健康膳食,收取少量费用。在第一年,这个项目的规模几乎翻了一番)”可知, Oasis迅速扩大,它受到了老年人的热烈欢迎。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“Seventy-seven-year-old Elaine Watier, who moved into the building and joined Oasis in 2017, immediately benefited from the program, learning to play bridge and starting a craft group that makes projects for local charities and hospitals. “It’s given me a sense of worth,” she says. “And I’m never lonely.” (77岁的Elaine Watier于2017年搬进大楼并加入Oasis,她立即从这个项目中受益,学会了打桥牌,并成立了一个手工艺小组,为当地的慈善机构和医院制作项目。“这给了我一种价值感,”她说。“我从不孤独。”)”可推知,作者提到Elaine Watier是为了展示Oasis这个项目的好处。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章最后一段中“In 2018, Oasis attracted the attention of researchers at Queen’s University. “I saw this as an perfect program to support older adults at home,” explains Catherine Donnelly, director of the school’s Health Services and Policy Research Institute, reporting the program had led to fewer falls, less inactivity, better nutrition and an increased sense of community. (2018年,绿洲吸引了女王大学研究人员的注意。学校健康服务和政策研究所所长Catherine Donnelly解释说:“我认为这是一个完美的项目,可以帮助家里的老年人。”她说,这个项目减少了跌倒的次数,减少了不活动的情况,改善了营养状况,增强了社区意识)”可知,文章主要介绍了帮助老年人的项目——Oasis的具体情况,例如原因、发起者、意义等等。由此可知,选项C“Oasis: The Home of Senior Citizens (Oasis:老年人的家园)”适合作文章标题。故选C。
C
In a world featuring endless choices, the search for simplicity has become more than just a desire—it’s a necessity. The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No explores the philosophy of simplicity and decision-making. Written by Bruce Mullen, this book goes beyond self-help clichés (陈词滥调) and offers a genuine, actionable approach to guiding life’s choices.
The book recognizes decision-making as the centre of human existence and invites readers to admit each decision carries a weight. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” sums up a sign if can’t rule—a definite “Yes” and a clear “No.” It encourages readers to focus on the “Yes” and stop readers from puting their effort into uncertain things. Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions.
The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills. The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively. From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process.
Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads.
“Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of in decision.
8. What are the readers encouraged to do according to paragraph 2
A. Solve uncertain matters.
B. Summarize a key principle.
C. Concentrate on related things.
D. Make decisions independently.
9. Why is the book a practical guide to readers
A. To provide readers with life values.
B. To help readers express philosophy.
C. To improve readers’ critical thinking skills.
D. To equip readers with decision-making skills.
10. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A. Definition of simplicity. B. Rules of making decisions.
C. Benefits of stressing clarity. D. Influences of decision-making.
11. What is the article aimed at
A. Recommending a book. B. Sharing a positive attitude.
C. Describing a simple lifestyle D. Solving philosophical problems.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】

(《Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No》不仅仅是一本书;这是一种可以改变我们做决定方式的哲学。对于那些寻求用清晰和目标来引导生活的人来说,这本书是在迷茫中指引方向的明灯。)”可知,这篇文章的目的是推荐《Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No》这本书。故选A。
D
Studies have shown how we understand our strength contributes to the extent to which our muscles might waste with disuse. When researchers at Ohio University examined the strength among a group of adults, who agreed to have their wrists immobilized for a week to cause weakness, they found that only imagining having strong muscles reduced the loss in strength by 50 percent.
Crum, a pioneer in this area, found in his study that having a different attitude can maximize (最大化) the benefits of all the occasional exercise we do each day, such as housework or walking around the shops. It appears that tracking our steps through smart watches and other wearable technologies can make a difference to how we understand our fitness. The study showed people who had previously regarded themselves as inactive, were found that they were actually completing about 7000 steps a day and began to report improved mood, better confidence and even an increase in aerobic fitness measurements, even though they weren’t exercising more than usual.
An even more unexpected fitness trick might come from our gut. It seems that having the right populations of gut bacteria (肠道菌群) makes you more likely to exercise. Last December, Christopher Thais sat the University of Pennsylvania and his colleagues found that differences in gut bacterial populations appeared to play a much greater role than genetics (遗传学) when it came to running performance in mice. They identified two particular bacteria as being especially important. When the mice were given these in supplements, it seemed to increase their desire to exercise.
It remains to be seen whether this works effectively in humans. We still have much to learn about whether changing microbial populations can make us fitter, says Shrushti Shah at the University of Calgary in Canada. This could be significant, as many of us struggle to find the motivation to exercise.
12. What does the underlined word “immobilized” in paragraph 1mean
A. Balanced. B. Fixed. C. Straightened. D. Bent.
13. What is presented in Crum’s finding
A. Tracking steps is necessary in daily routine.
B. Attitude matters to all the occasional exercise.
C. Walking around the shops amounts to 7000 steps.
D. Inactive people have trouble in completing exercise.
14. What is the function of the example in paragraph 3
A. To further explain the research method.
B. To support evidence for the research result.
C. To show potential application of the research finding.
D. To present a reasonable doubt about the research process.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the application of the two particular bacteria in humans
A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Supportive.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了态度可以最大化锻炼的好处,并分析了肠道菌群或许会影响我们锻炼的动机。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。上文“Studies have shown how we understand our strength contributes to the extent to which our muscles might waste with disuse.(研究表明,我们如何理解我们的力量有助于我们的肌肉可能因不使用而逐渐变虚弱的程度。)”和下文“they found that only imagining having strong muscles reduced the loss in strength by 50 percent(他们发现,仅仅想象自己拥有强壮的肌肉,就能减少50%的力量损失)”可知,肌肉长时间不使用会变得虚弱;由此可知,实验时,这些成年人的手腕被固定不使用,因此推断画线词与B项“固定”意思一致,故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Crum, a pioneer in this area, found in his study that having a different attitude can maximize(最大化) the benefits of all the occasional exercise we do each day, such as housework or walking around the shops.( Crum是这一领域的先驱,他在研究中发现,拥有不同的态度可以最大限度地发挥我们每天偶尔做的运动的好处,比如做家务或在商店里散步。)”可知,Crum的研究表明态度对所有偶然的锻炼都很重要。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“An even more unexpected fitness trick might come from our gut. It seems that having the right populations of gut bacteria(肠道菌群) makes you more likely to exercise.(一个更意想不到的健身技巧可能来自我们的肠道。似乎拥有适当数量的肠道细菌会让你更有可能锻炼。)”可知,本段讲述适当的肠道菌群让我们更有可能锻炼,接下来给出了一个例子“Last December, Christopher Thais sat the University of Pennsylvania and his colleagues found that differences in gut bacterial populations appeared to play a much greater role than genetics(遗传学) when it came to running performance in mice. They identified two particular bacteria as being especially important. When the mice were given these in supplements, it seemed to increase their desire to exercise.(去年12月,宾夕法尼亚大学(University of Pennsylvania)的克里斯托弗·泰斯(Christopher Thais)和他的同事发现,在小鼠的跑步表现方面,肠道细菌数量的差异似乎比遗传因素起着更大的作用。他们确定了两种特别重要的细菌。当老鼠服用这些补充剂时,似乎增加了它们运动的欲望。)”来进一步解释说明这种研究结果,因此推断这个例子的功能是为这个研究结果提供证据的。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It remains to be seen whether this works effectively in humans. We still have much to learn about whether changing microbial populations can make us fitter, says Shrushti Shah at the University of Calgary in Canada. (这是否对人类有效还有待观察。加拿大卡尔加里大学的Shrushti Shah说,关于微生物种群的变化是否能使我们更健康,我们还有很多要了解)”可知,作者认为这种结果仍需要进一步观察,且指出Shrushti Shah说微生物种群的变化是否能使我们更健康我们还有很多要了解;因此推断对于这两种微生物种群的应用作者是谨慎的。故选C。

43. unsafe 44. a
45. represents
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了孔明灯的历史、用途、结构、它的升空过程以及使用时的注意事项。
【36题详解】
考查动词语态、主谓一致。句意:根据中国历史,孔明灯,首先被诸葛孔明使用,在他处于困境时被用来寻求帮助。根据句中was可知,句子使用一般过去时,主语sky lanterns与动词send“发送”之间是被动关系,所以使用一般过去时的被动语态,结构为was/were done,主语sky lanterns是复数,be动词用were。故填were sent。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:在重要的场合,例如节日、婚礼和生日,人们经常点燃孔明灯来表达他们的祝福和美好的祝愿。当occasion要表达“场合”的意思时,前面应与介词on搭配,on important occasions意为“在重要的场合”,位于句首,首字母大写。故填On。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在重要的场合,例如节日、婚礼和生日,人们经常点燃孔明灯来表达他们的祝福和美好的祝愿。本句谓语为light,空处作非谓语动词,应用动词不定式形式作目的状语。故填to express。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:孔明灯是由竹子制成的,上面覆盖着纸,形状像灯笼,有不同的尺寸,大多是圆形或矩形。本句谓语为are made of和and后省略了are的are covered with,所以空处作非谓语动词,shape“(使)成为……形状(或样子)”与其逻辑主语Sky lanterns之间是被动关系,所以使用过去分词shaped。故填shaped。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:当被视为幸福和美好愿望的象征的灯笼被点燃时,它们慢慢地升到空中,像小热气球一样,让所有人都能看到。本空引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是lanterns,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:当孔明灯达到一定高度时,它们在风中摇摆,闪耀着明亮而美丽的光芒。根据空前的冠词a可知,本空用名词height,意为“高度”。故填height。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当孔明灯达到一定高度时,它们在风中摇摆,闪耀着明亮而美丽的光芒。主句主语是they,谓语动词是swing,所以此处为非谓语动词,shine“闪耀”与逻辑主语 they之间是主动关系,所以使用现在分词作状语。故填shining。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:然而,孔明灯可能是不安全的。根据后文“If they are not used carefully, they can cause fires or other accidents. (如果使用不小心,它们可能会引起火灾或其他事故)”可知,此处意为“不安全的”,用形容词unsafe,作表语。故填unsafe。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:因此,在点燃孔明灯之前,采取安全预防措施并选择安全的地点是一件必须做的事。must是名词,意为“必须做的事”,是可数名词,此处泛指“一件必须做的事”,所以使用不定冠词,must是以辅音音素开头的单词,前边应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态、主谓一致。句意:孔明灯,每一个都代表美好的祝愿和祝福,给人们带来极大的欢乐和美丽,是中国传统文化的一个特殊部分。represent“代表”,根据句中are可知,句子使用一般现在时,“each of which 10 (represent) good wishes and blessings”是非限制性定语从句,先行词sky lanterns指物,each of which表示单数意义,从句谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填represents。

“When will you get out on the ice, Jade ” Hazel asked. Jade was a soccer star at her old school in California. “I’m inviting her to play hockey.” Hazel told other players at the table.
Jade lowered her voice. “I can’t make it to open skating time because I have to look after my younger brother Calvin until 6:30.”
But Hazel had been friendly since their first meeting and she wasn’t going to give upon this. “A rink (溜冰场) is behind the stadium. I can practice with you thereafter the closing time. You can buy skates from Ms. Silva, the facility manager. 7 o’clock this evening at the rink!” Hazel told Jade excitedly.
However, Jade didn’t tell Hazel she couldn’t afford the skates and hockey stick. After school Jade hurried home to look after Calvin. When she was cleaning the crumbs (面包屑) under Calvin’s highchair with a broom, she got an idea. At 6:35, Jade grabbed the broom and an old tennis ball.
At the rink, Hazel hadn’t turned up yet. In her dirty shoes, Jade practiced hitting the ball with the broom independently. Surprisingly, she scored a goal. But her smile disappeared as she saw Ms. Silva walking over.
She looked down at Jade’s feet pitifully. “Your shoes made the rink dirty. Those aren’t skates and hockey stick.”
“I’m really sorry for the dirt,” Jade apologized. “I don’t have money for those.”
“You didn’t tell me that!” Hazel appeared, holding Jade’s hands.
“Want a weekend job ” Ms. Silva advised gently. “I’ll teach you how to remove the dirt and leaves. A month later you may get new skates!” “Definitely.” Jade replied. “I’ll be there with you!” Hazel said.

Luo Robe Well-suited for the southern regions of China, luo has larger holes in the fabric compared with sha, making it more lightweight and breathable. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties, luo was mainly used for the upper class, and only officials of fifth rank or higher were permitted to wear clothes made of the material.
Ge Clothes Resourceful individuals discovered a method to use plant fibers for clothing production, significantly reducing the cost of summer garments, that is Ge. Known as kudzu or Chinese arrowroot, Ge represents the earliest use of natural fiber as fabric in China. Once the lunar month of June arrived, people would usually change to get clothing.

However, the 12 citizens McMillan spoke to shared a serious unaddressed problem: loneliness. Most sat in their apartments all day, watching TV and napping and living on tea, toast and cereal because they were unwilling to cook a proper meal for themselves. They were afraid of going into long-term care but couldn’t afford to move to a nursing home (养老院).
“What they said really concerned me,” says McMillan. “Why couldn’t the activities and meals in the common room of a nursing home exist in the shared spaces of a private apartment building ”
McMillan and her team, who named their concept Oasis, encouraged Bowling Green 2’s landlord (房东) to let the group use the common room and to change an unused space into a coffee lounge for members. In 2010, with funding (资金) from the government, they hired fulltime workers to run the program, including group exercise classes and activities like art lessons and Wii bowling. Meanwhile, Oasis partnered with St. Lawrence College, whose culinary (烹饪的) students created healthy meals for a small fee. Within the first year, the program almost doubled in size.
Seventy-seven-year-old Elaine Watier, who moved into the building and joined Oasis in 2017, immediately benefited from the program, learning to play bridge and starting a craft group that makes projects for local charities and hospitals. “It’s given me a sense of worth,” she says. “And I’m never lonely.”
In 2018, Oasis attracted the attention of researchers at Queen’s University. “I saw this as an perfect program to support older adults at home,” explains Catherine Donnelly, director of the school’s Health Services and Policy Research Institute, reporting the program had led to fewer falls, less inactivity, better nutrition and an increased sense of community.

In a world featuring endless choices, the search for simplicity has become more than just a desire—it’s a necessity. The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No explores the philosophy of simplicity and decision-making. Written by Bruce Mullen, this book goes beyond self-help clichés (陈词滥调) and offers a genuine, actionable approach to guiding life’s choices.
The book recognizes decision-making as the centre of human existence and invites readers to admit each decision carries a weight. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” sums up a sign if can’t rule—a definite “Yes” and a clear “No.” It encourages readers to focus on the “Yes” and stop readers from puting their effort into uncertain things. Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions.
The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills. The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively. From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process.
Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads.
“Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of in decision.

Studies have shown how we understand our strength contributes to the extent to which our muscles might waste with disuse. When researchers at Ohio University examined the strength among a group of adults, who agreed to have their wrists immobilized for a week to cause weakness, they found that only imagining having strong muscles reduced the loss in strength by 50 percent.
Crum, a pioneer in this area, found in his study that having a different attitude can maximize (最大化) the benefits of all the occasional exercise we do each day, such as housework or walking around the shops. It appears that tracking our steps through smart watches and other wearable technologies can make a difference to how we understand our fitness. The study showed people who had previously regarded themselves as inactive, were found that they were actually completing about 7000 steps a day and began to report improved mood, better confidence and even an increase in aerobic fitness measurements, even though they weren’t exercising more than usual.
An even more unexpected fitness trick might come from our gut. It seems that having the right populations of gut bacteria (肠道菌群) makes you more likely to exercise. Last December, Christopher Thais sat the University of Pennsylvania and his colleagues found that differences in gut bacterial populations appeared to play a much greater role than genetics (遗传学) when it came to running performance in mice. They identified two particular bacteria as being especially important. When the mice were given these in supplements, it seemed to increase their desire to exercise.
It remains to be seen whether this works effectively in humans. We still have much to learn about whether changing microbial populations can make us fitter, says Shrushti Shah at the University of Calgary in Canada. This could be significant, as many of us struggle to find the motivation to exercise.
12. What does the underlined word “immobilized” in paragraph 1mean
A. Balanced. B. Fixed. C. Straightened. D. Bent.
13 What is presented in Crum’s finding
A. Tracking steps is necessary in daily routine.
B. Attitude matters to all the occasional exercise.
C. Walking around the shops amounts to 7000 steps.
D. Inactive people have trouble in completing exercise.
14. What is the function of the example in paragraph 3
A. To further explain the research method.
B. To support evidence for the research result.
C. To show potential application of the research finding.
D To present a reasonable doubt about the research process.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the application of the two particular bacteria in humans
A Indifferent. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Supportive.

The cafeteria (自助食堂) conversation on Monday was all about hockey (冰上曲棍球) again. Jade usually fit in with the sports crowd, but now she was not included in the conversation.
“When will you get out on the ice, Jade ” Hazel asked. Jade was a soccer star at her old school in California. “I’m inviting her to play hockey.” Hazel told other players at the table.
Jade lowered her voice. “I can’t make it to open skating time because I have to look after my younger brother Calvin until 6:30.”
But Hazel had been friendly since their first meeting and she wasn’t going to give upon this. “A rink (溜冰场) is behind the stadium. I can practice with you thereafter the closing time. You can buy skates from Ms. Silva, the facility manager. 7 o’clock this evening at the rink!” Hazel told Jade excitedly.
However, Jade didn’t tell Hazel she couldn’t afford the skates and hockey stick. After school Jade hurried home to look after Calvin. When she was cleaning the crumbs (面包屑) under Calvin’s highchair with a broom, she got an idea. At 6:35, Jade grabbed the broom and an old tennis ball.
At the rink, Hazel hadn’t turned up yet. In her dirty shoes, Jade practiced hitting the ball with the broom independently. Surprisingly, she scored a goal. But her smile disappeared as she saw Ms. Silva walking over.
She looked down at Jade’s feet pitifully. “Your shoes made the rink dirty. Those aren’t skates and hockey stick.”
“I’m really sorry for the dirt,” Jade apologized. “I don’t have money for those.”
“You didn’t tell me that!” Hazel appeared, holding Jade’s hands.
“Want a weekend job ” Ms. Silva advised gently. “I’ll teach you how to remove the dirt and leaves. A month later you may get new skates!” “Definitely.” Jade replied. “I’ll be there with you!” Hazel said.
注意:1.续写词数应为100词左右;
