Passage 1【答案】The next morning, I came to Alex with my plan. I told him that I’d be there to help
him practice his presentation every day after school in the quiet library. I’d give him feedback on his speaking
speed, body language, and content. I also promised to create a relaxed atmosphere so he could gradually build up
his confidence. At first, Alex was hesitant, but seeing my determination, he finally nodded in agreement. Over the
next few weeks, we spent hours together, going over every detail of his presentation. With each practice, Alex
became more and more confident.
Finally, the presentation day arrived. When it was Alex’s turn, he took a deep breath and stepped onto the
stage. I could see his hands trembling slightly, but he started speaking clearly and confidently. His voice grew
stronger as he shared his passion for the topic. The class listened attentively, and when he finished, there was a
round of applause. Alex’s face lit up with a huge smile, and I felt an overwhelming sense of pride. I knew that this
experience would not only help him overcome his fear of public speaking but also strengthen our friendship.
Passage 2【答案】Diana led Wilson to see the birthday cake, which reminded him of his dream. “Wilson, we
have no idea of what your beloved gift might be. Thus, we eventually reached an agreement that a birthday cake
was something that would allow us to share the joy with you,” said Diana. The image on the cake caught his
attention, which was composed of a boy, a basketball and a net. It conveyed the message that the boy was
redoubling his efforts to throw the basketball into the net.
Moved by our warmth and special gift, Wilson extended his thanks to us. “Thanks for your thoughtful
arrangement. This scene will linger vividly in my mind permanently,” said Wilson. One of the classmates
persuaded Wilson to light up the candles and make a wish. He plucked up his courage to express his wish of
becoming a professional basketball player. Applause coming flooding in, we were delighted that he was determined
to stick to his dream. Feeling over the moon, we cut the cake and enjoyed the greasy yet delectable cream together.

Passage 1【答案】Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken chunk of ice, unable to
crawl onto it. Panic slammed into Martha and Sara like a hammer; their breaths came in harsh clouds as the wind
howled across the pond. “Mike, keep your arms up — don’t let go!” Martha shouted, her voice cracking with fear.
The boy’s lips were turning a frightening shade of blue, and water sloshed over his boots each time the ice tilted.
The sisters clung to a low branch, but the thought of re-entering the frigid hole was unbearable. With no adults in
sight and daylight fading, the brittle silence of the farm suddenly felt enormous.
Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike. Powerful
strokes sliced the surface as spray flew from her coat. When she reached him, she circled once, nudging his armpit
with her nose until Mike’s arms slid over her broad shoulders. Instinct took over. Gripping his jacket between her
teeth, she turned toward shore and began towing her passenger. Martha and Sara lay flat on the ice, stretching a
long branch. The moment Bear’s paws scraped frozen ground, the girls hauled the boy and the dog together,
collapsing in a trembling heap of relief.
Passage 2【答案】Mom and I searched the house for my missing shoe. We turned every corner upside
down but it was nowhere to be found. Suddenly I remembered I took off the shoe to pet Grandma’s sick dog Mattie
when I visited her last week, so it must have been left there. I was so worried that I could hardly calm down, so we
called Grandma immediately. Grandma drove over with the shoe soon after we called her. After that, I never
skipped any practice and trained together with Sylvia every day, cheering each other up to prepare for the
performance.
From behind the stage curtain, I saw our two grandmas seated together. They were smiling and waving at us,
full of expectation. Sylvia’s hand shook slightly, so I held it and reminded her we had practiced enough. When we
stepped onto the stage, we finished every move smoothly and perfectly. The audience burst into warm applause as
we finished. I looked at our excited grandmas waving at us. At that moment, I felt so glad I didn’t quit, and I
learned the meaning of being responsible for others.
Passage 3【答案】Over time, I came to see that the real reason was my gender. Though women pilots had
existed for decades, they remained a rare sight — something I didn’t fully understand at first. Determined to push
forward, I spent the next year fully committed to the commercial flying courses, diving deep into both written
theory and hands-on training. As the only woman in my class, I often felt the weight of standing out. The
coursework was demanding, and at times the pressure was unbearable, but I refused to give up. I was determined to
prove that I deserved my place in the sky.
Finally, I successfully got my commercial helicopter pilot’s license. Luckily, I got a job as a helicopter
instructor at a nearby airfield before long. That’s when I truly understood how unusual my achievement was. Most
people were amazed to see a woman in this role and many found it hard to believe. When some young girls, who
accompanied their friends to learn to fly, asked me how I made it, I shared my story. I’ll be right here, showing the
next generation of pilots that no dream is off-limits whatever your age, your gender or what anyone else says.
Passage 4【答案】The next morning, Ethan showed up in front of Sophia with a nervous look. He held out a
crumpled piece of paper, his hands trembling, and said he had stayed up all night trying to redraw her painting as
best as he could. The landscape was not as vibrant as the original, but every stroke was full of regret and sincerity.
He kept apologizing, saying he knew nothing could make up for her lost work, but he hoped this small effort could
show how sorry he was.
Tears came to Sophia’s eyes as she truly understood Ethan’s kindness. She took the painting gently, touching
the rough brushstrokes, and realized she had been too stubborn to see his regret. She hugged Ethan tightly, saying
she was also sorry for shouting at him. They promised to never let a small mistake ruin their precious friendship,
and Sophia decided to redo the painting with Ethan’s help, turning the regret into a beautiful memory.

Passage 1【答案】Later, the girl’s mom came over and took out a ten-dollar bill. “Thank you for
helping my daughter,” she said warmly, pressing the money into Alex’s hand. Alex hesitated, and then handed it
back. “I just wanted to help,” he said shyly. The mom insisted, but Alex stood firm. Ben and Lily watched in
surprise. Was this the brother who had grabbed every chore for money? Even Dad gave a slight nod of approval. As
the family walked home, Alex wasn’t dragging his feet anymore. The setting sun painted the sky gold, and inside
his chest glowed a warmth that no skateboard in the world could ever bring.
That evening, Dad took out the pocket money, pride and regret in his eyes. He handed each child their
coins, but when he came to Alex, he paused, regret weighing on his face. “I was too hard on you Friday,” he said
quietly. “You did the most chores, but that’s not why I’m proud.” He placed an extra two dollars into Alex’s palm.
“This is for helping that little girl. You did it because it was right.” Alex looked at the money, then at his father. For
the first time, he understood that responsibility was not about racing for rewards, but choosing to do good without
expecting anything in return.

Passage 1【答案】Lily’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement and joy. Inside lay a brand-new doll
—not just any doll, but one even more beautiful than the broken one. Beside the doll was a small handwritten note
that said: “Every beautiful doll deserves to be loved by a sweet girl like you. Always keep smiling! — From your
secret friend.” Mr Brown immediately thought of their kind neighbor Mrs White, who had witnessed Lily’s sadness
yesterday. A warm feeling of gratitude filled his heart as he watched his daughter happily hug her new doll.
Deeply moved by this wonderful act, Mr Brown decided to share the story online. The story quickly spread
throughout the community. Many neighbors, inspired by this simple but meaningful gesture, started helping with
grocery shopping for elderly neighbors, while others shared plants from their gardens. When Mrs White’s family
learned what she had done, they felt incredibly proud of her. But the most valuable reward for Mrs White was
seeing Lily playing happily in the garden every day, always carrying the new doll with her. This experience served
as a reminder that even small acts of kindness can create waves of warmth and bring people closer together.
Passage 2【答案】Amid the noise of my classmates leaving, I caught the look of hurt in Dad’s eyes. He
froze by the coffee table, the half-full popcorn bowl still held in his hand, his usual warm smile fading away
completely. He never scolded me, just murmured an apology for disturbing us, cleaned up the leftover snacks
quietly and walked back to his room. I shut myself in my bedroom, and warm old memories flooded in: how he
played with me as a kid, how he said my kisses were the best gift in the world. Shame quickly swallowed my
foolish embarrassment.
I knew I had to make it right. I walked straight to Dad’s room, threw myself into his arms and stammered
out my sincere apology. I told him loudly that he was always my greatest hero, and I was the one who was wrong.
Dad patted my back gently, with tears in his eyes. That day I learned that real beauty lives in a loving heart, and I
will never forget the lesson that unconditional love is the most precious thing in life.
Passage 3【答案】Seeing us approach, the owner immediately handed me a box of desserts. “Take
them! They’re just simple snacks.” he said generously. Grandma immediately pushed some money towards him,
shaking her head and refusing firmly. The shop owner waved the money away, pretending to be annoyed, while
grandma insisted on paying. They went back and forth gently, smiling all the way. Mateo watched the whole scene
in silence, his previous confusion returning to his face. He leaned his head a little to one side, eyes wide with doubt,
and clearly couldn’t figure out why they refused each other again and again.
Then I knew how to explain Chinese indirectness to Mateo. I pulled him aside and explained softly that this
was the hidden warmth in our culture. Their seemingly indirect refusals were full of sincerity and kindness. The
shop owner wanted to show hospitality, and grandma respected his hard work. I also told him that his host mom’s
smile and praise were genuine and showed how much she cherished his kindness. Mateo nodded slowly, a bright
smile spreading across his face. At that moment, he didn’t just understand our expressions — he truly felt the
gentle, quiet beauty rooted in Chinese culture.

Passage 1【答案】As I stepped onto the stage, a wave of nervousness washed over me. Reminding
myself of Lily’s note and my classmates’ support, I took a deep breath and began speaking about our project —
how we organized campus clean-ups, encouraged students to use reusable bottles, and reduced plastic waste. As I
spoke, I noticed the audience leaning forward, listening carefully. The teachers nodded, some smiling, and even
younger students seemed inspired. With each sentence, my confidence grew, and the fear that had seemed so
overwhelming began to melt away.
When I finished, the auditorium erupted with applause. I looked at my classmates and Lily, and we all
cheered together. Later, several students came up to me, saying they felt inspired by my speech and wanted to join
our project. That moment taught me an important lesson: courage isn’t about never being afraid — it’s about taking
action in spite of fear. From then on, I promised myself to face challenges boldly, knowing that support,
determination, and a positive attitude could make even the impossible possible.
Passage 2【答案】 Just at that moment, Luella’ family returned in their car. Empathy surged within me as I
saw their shock and disbelief. Approaching Luella, I tightly held her hands and said, “I’m so sorry for your loss, but
thankfully you’re all right.” She weakly nodded, still puzzled by the shocking scene. My family volunteered to help
clean up the mess, cutting down the branches and removing the fallen trees. To lift Luella’s spirits and give her
comfort, I tried my best to cheer her up while tidying the garden with her, during which my own joyful personality
seemed to revive a bit.
Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’ sorrow for her lost garden. My heart went out to her,
knowing how much she had cherished those tulips that she had devoted so much energy to. Determined to restore
the beauty of the garden, I suggested we rebuild the garden, which Luella delightedly agreed. Carefully planted and
watered, the new tulip seedlings once again filled the garden, which symbolized the beginning of our friendship, as
well as the turning that I finally got embraced by this new environment. My mom was right: it’s more blessed to
give than to receive because when you give, you may receive something unexpected in return.

Passage 1【答案】 After hours of hard work, the divers finally cleared a safe path to the boat door. They
opened it slowly, and there was Raymond, pale but with a determined look in his eyes. They carefully helped him
out of the damaged boat. The fresh air hit his face as he was hoisted up to the waiting helicopter. He felt a rush of
relief, but also a deep sense of gratitude towards the divers who had risked their lives to save him.
As soon as Raymond was lifted onto the helicopter, he asked to call his wife at once. With the phone in his hand,
he couldn't wait to hear her voice. When Alice picked up, he said, “Honey, I'm okay. I made it through.” Alice burst
into tears of joy on the other end of the line. Raymond told her how much he missed her and their daughter, and
how the thought of them had kept him going. He realized that life was more precious than any sailing race, and his
family was his true strength.
