It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools
in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route through thick evergreen
forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by
a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked
over and asked him why he wasn't with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had
decided not to run.
What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school's coach and asked him what had happened. “I
was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I
gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing
the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him
coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other
children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated
to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children
thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him
longer—that's all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his
run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the
school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong
determination.

We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn't look at me.I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.
答案
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn't look at me. “Why do you
give up the run, David?” I whispered to him. “I will be a loser, and others will laugh at me,”
he murmured, with his face flushing. I hugged him tightly, saying, “You are a determined
boy, and I believe you can face the challenge bravely. But, more importantly, it is
participation rather than the result that matters to you.” Having been inspired by what I said,
David looked up and said firmly, “I will run.”
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. Hearing
the gun blasting, they rushed out like arrows, except for David, who fell behind soon despite
great efforts. “Come on, David!” I shouted crazily in the crowd. Sweaty and exhausted as he
was, he kept running. Finally, when David struggled to cross the finishing line, the crowd
erupted into wild cheers and thunderous applause. He embraced me with tears streaming
down his face. I am, once again, proud of his strong determination.

A MOTHER'S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning
for Mother's Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast
in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their
mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly
to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of waterand left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added
in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned
on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan.Everything was going smoothly until Jeff
started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds.
Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she
turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next
minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed
calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it
up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff's hand touched the hot
burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught
the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

答案
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.
Knowing what they were preparing for, he was greatly surprised. So immediately, he offered
to get involved in the kids' job. Firstly, he put the pot of porridge over a gentle heat, asking
Jeff to watch out for it going for fifteen minutes. And then he asked Jenna to break another
two eggs and mix them with milk. Then, with all preparations done, they started to fry bread
together. In a flash, a sweet smell filled the air in the kitchen.The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. Eyes opened,
the woman heard a harmonious “Happy Mother's Day” from her twin kids with a hot sweet
breakfast before her. Behind the children stood their father, who told her the whole story.
After learning about what happened, she rose quickly to check the boy's hand. Mother hugged
them tightly, with tears rolling down her cheeks. “Thank you, my honey,” said the mother.
“That's the best gift I've ever had.”

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。
The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some
people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends
meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time
visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she
had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There
was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their
little boy. The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara.“He is
such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he
can do.”
After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we
could help him to earn money,” said Clara.“His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,” said Harry.“We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried,“I
have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be
a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John.“You know that big box of corn Uncle
John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn(爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard
can take it around to the houses and sell it.”注意:续写词数应为150左右。
When Mrs. Meredith heard of John's idea, she thought it was a good one, too.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business.
答案
When Mrs. Meredith heard of John's idea, she thought it was a good one, too.
John quickly assigned tasks to Clara and Harry. They went to the local grocery and bought a
popcorn machine and some paper bags while John prepared some ingredients like sugar,
honey and oil. Soon, they made a large amount of popcorn and put it in paper bags. They
rushed to Bernard's home and told him their idea. His face lit up when he heard the news, and
his family was very grateful.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. “What if we can't
sell it?” said Bernard anxiously. “No worries. We will give it a shot,” replied John in
confidence. They took the popcorn around the house, and fortunately, people were willing to
buy it. For a while, the popcorn was sold out. Bernard earned lots of money. Mrs. Meredith
and her children then taught him how to make popcorn. Bernard did not forget the help from
the Meredith family, and he passed the kindness to those in need.
