一、
Ariana Porter was very excited. Tomorrow will be anew day and a new beginning, well, kind of. Tomorrow
Ariana will go to a boarding school! No little sister to share a room with, peace and quiet. She ate her favourite
homemade curry for the last time that year. Then, she curled up in her clean bed and shut her eyes. Excited.
The next day, Ariana woke up, jumped into her best clothes and flew downstairs. After a quick breakfast, the
whole family lined up and said their goodbyes. Ariana’s little sister tried to hug her, but she shrugged Liliana off.
And off she went to boarding school. Happy.
However, when Ariana got there, everyone looked unwelcoming. A teacher showed her to her dorm. It was
cold and dark! A few days later, Ariana got several letters. The rainbow one was from her little sister and another
from her parents. Ariana couldn’t even be bothered to open them. She just threw them into the main hall’s fireplace
when nobody was around.
Every day, Ariana tried to make friends. It was an allgirls school. Unfortunately, she had no luck. She tried to
give girls gifts, she tried to be friendly, but they shrugged her off just like she did to her sister. Two months passed
trying to find new friends, but without success. Ariana felt more and more lonely. Something was missing in her
life. Something indescribable. Something, or maybe someone.
Week after week went by and then, one day, holding yet another batch of mail, Ariana’s heart trembled. She
realized what she was painfully missing, her FAMILY. Whenever she was down, whenever she needed help or
comfort, they were there for her. Always. This time she opened the little rainbow envelope and smiled. Reading it
filled her heart with joy. Ariana couldn’t reply, for the school didn’t allow that, so she decided to hide the letters
under her pillow. The pile grew larger and they were so important to her, for the letters gave her the greatest
comfort when she was away from home.
Months passed eagerly waiting for the day when the school year ends. No more dorm life and unfriendly girls.
Ariana skipped to math class excitedly, but couldn’t concentrate, she dreamed about going home.

二、
Almost all the possessions had been sold to buy food and clothing for the family. At last, nothing was left but
the pet lamb, Daisy. At the thought of parting with the little creature, Mrs. Grant’s felt sad because the children
loved it very much. Having struggled hard, she had to make up her mind to sell the lamb. But she could not ask any
child to go for the butcher. Finally, she went herself with a heavy heart, dragging her leaden feet, and bargained
with the butcher for the sale of Daisy.
While the children were all playing with the lamb, the butcher and his boy came to the door. “ You see I am
here for the lamb, ” said the butcher in a loud voice. Hearing this, one child ran to her mother’s side, and asked
what was happening in alarm. Mrs. Grant gently pushed the child aside, bent down and was about to tell the truth.
“That’s my lamb now, Charlie! ” said the butcher’s boy in a playful tone, going up to Daisy with a rope in his
hand.
“No, it is not your lamb. It is ours! ” said Charlie, placing himself in front of it.
But the boy, pushing him aside, threw a rope round Daisy’s neck, and began to drag the little creature away.
The poor lamb bleated (咩咩叫) very sadly. The cry of grief which fell upon the mother’s ears was too much for
her, and her heart sank within her. In a moment, begging with tearful eyes, the children were all around their mother
with voices choking with sobs for their little pet.
“Please tell your boy to stop a moment, ” she said in husky tones to the butcher. The boy, at a word from the
butcher, stopped dragging the lamb, and the little creature stopped its bleating.
In a trembling voice, Mrs. Grant explained to them how badly off they were after their father died. She also
added that the kind butcher had given the money for Daisy. With this money, she could buy her children bread toeat.

三、
Having struggled with financial difficulties for six months and failing to find a way out, I had to close my
technology writing business. Fortunately, I found a new job as a salesperson and soon got a client. At the time, I
wondered if it was too good to be true.
By the second month, something didn’t seem right, and I developed a bad feeling about the client and the
work. When the third month’s check didn’t arrive on time, I sent the client an e-mail to find out what was going on.
But there was no reply. Then I sent another e-mail, and another. The check never arrived, and I never heard from
the client again. With no hope in sight, I hit rock bottom. Panic replaced cautious optimism along with my last self-
confidence.
I hid myself from friends and locked myself in my room. One night, the phone rang. The call was from Eric, a
friend of mine from high school. When he was in high school, he told me many times about his parents’ divorce and
his loss of confidence in the college entrance examination. During the difficult time, I gave him much comfort and
encouragement. Later, he went to college and was always grateful for what I had done.
After the greetings, I told my problems and challenges, hoping my friend would say something comforting.
What I didn’t expect was a string of sharp words. “What is wrong with you? You can do anything you want to do,”
he said. “You are a writer, so start writing. Write for magazine.” “Write for magazine? Are you out of your mind? I
don’t know the first thing about writing for magazine, let alone write things that anyone would want to read. And I
have to know where I can send an application form-to what magazine and to what editor,” I shouted at him.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Surprisingly, I felt a little better after the shouting.

四、
Flora and her dad were going to move to a new house. Friday, a truck would come for the furniture. Then the
next week, workers would dig up the yard. Where Flora and Papi had grown flowers, the workers would put in a
parking lot.
“Our poor flowers,” Flora sighed to herself, looking at the bright purple blooms and soft and green weed
coming out of the soil. She sat outside, selling things she didn’t want to take to the new house. Beside her hung a
sign that said “Yard Sale”. Her yard sale was the first one of the year on Apple Street, and several of her neighbors
had come over to have a look.
Papi came out. He held a dish piled high with nuts. “Here’s a snack for everyone,” he said. Flora’s dad loved
sharing things. Most of all he loved sharing jokes. He smiled when he saw Flora’s sign and winked (眨眼) at the
customers gathered around.
“Yard sale? What are you selling yards of? Or meters of?” he asked. “Ribbons? Carpet? Cloth? Where’s your
ruler?”
“Not that kind of yard,” joked Mrs. Ciro. “It must be this nice grassy yard we’re standing on that’s for sale.”
“How much for the weed by your sign?” asked Mr. Johnson, joking.
Flora gave no response. She didn’t think their jokes were funny. She felt extremely in low spirits at the thought
that the lovely yard was already sold, and soon their poor flowers and weed would be ruined.” Deader than a
doorknob,’ Papi’s papi would say”, she thought to herself bitterly, “What’s worse, the new house doesn’t have any
flowers at all.”With a sigh, Flora dug her heels deep into the grass. But when she felt the soft earth move under her heels, she
knew what she could do.
She whispered her clever plan to Papi. He nodded, smiling, and sat down in her seat instead.

五、
Rivaldo was playing football from the age of 4. When he was 7, he joined a local football club. He attended
the training regularly but never got a chance to play in matches. But the coach had faith in him. He told Rivaldo
that he should focus on hi training, and one day he would get the chance. Rivaldo had no other option but to
continue training in the club. He was training very hard and focused on improving himself.
Even after two years in the club, he never played in a match. He was not even allowed to travel along with the
team. One day their club had a charity match, where a famous footballer was a chief guest. While the team was
planning to travel, one of the support staff who used to take care of kits got ill. So, they needed someone for this.
The coach thought this should be an opportunity for Rivaldo. So, he told him to travel with the team and take
care of the kits. Other support staff objected to it, but he convinced them.
The team reached the stadium. There were a lot of crowds to witness the celebrity footballer. For Rivaldo, this
is his first-time experience in the stadium. He was helping the other players with the kits for the pre-match training.
The coach came for a chat with Rivaldo. He told Rivaldo, “You are playing today.”
Rivaldo, for a moment, got frozen and asked him why. He said, “One of the players from the team got injured
while training. So, we are short of players. We need someone to be in the field to make it 11. But I know you are
more than that. So, go and prove yourself”. There was resistance from the support staff. Luckily for Rivaldo, the
coach, through the organizing committee, convinced Rivaldo’s team management to allow him to play.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

六、
Grandfather was a wise and honorable man. His house was not far from ours, and I would visit him often
going home after school.
No matter how rotten I had been, I could tell Grandpa anything. My secrets were safe. Whenever there was a
problem, he gave me the tools to fix it. I knew I would always find the best answer from him. He always
understood. He loved me.
I remember a time when a bunch of us were playing baseball in the field behind Mrs. Ferguson’s house. I hit
one pitch just right and slam! It was a home run that soared high and away, and ended up breaking Old Lady
Ferguson’s kitchen window! We all ran! Walking home, my best friend, Tom, asked, “How will she ever know who
did it? She’s blinder than a bat!” He had a point.
I was afraid that Mrs. Ferguson would stay mad at me, so I ran. I didn’t know what she would do. I tried to
calm down. However, my stomach was in knots. On the way home. I imagined that she was a mean witch (女巫)
chasing me, and the further way I ran, the larger she grew... until finally she towered over the whole town, seeing
my every move with an evil eye. Thoughts rushed through my mind. Would Mrs. Ferguson stay mad at me? Would
she call police? Worse still, would she tell my parents I couldn’t even imagine the disappointment on Mom and
Dad’s face. They were hoping I would act honestly and in a responsible way
I decided to stop by Grandpa’s. I felt ashamed. I wanted to hide. I wanted to knock my head against a tree a
thousand times and make the world just go away —as if punishing myself could undo things.
“I would tell everything to Grandpa,” a voice inside me said.“I was wrong.” I told him, with my head down. He must have known something was up by the expression on
my face. He knew we had been warned many times about the dangers of playing where we shouldn’t.
