What I remember most from the kindergarten was meeting Christopher, who was diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病)at the age of four. Christopher came to our school in the middle of the year. The first time I met him, I felt as if I found my other half. I ran to Mrs Rose and asked if Christopher could sit next to me.
Weeks passed and I realized Christopher was in fact exactly like me. My classmates stayed away from Christopher because he had to get pricked(刺痛)every time he ate sweets like cookies. He also wore a metal medical alert bracelet(警报手链).
The day before spring break all sorts of candies and desserts were passed out. Mrs. Rose invited all our parents. I ate every sugary sweet I could find and got a couple for Christopher too, but he didn’t touch them. I kept asking him to eat them, but he ran out of the room madly. I sat there shocked and puzzled.
I went home that night with a million questions. My mom told me that Christopher had diabetes and that was the reason why he couldn’t eat as much sugar as everyone else. And he had to get his finger pricked to make sure his blood sugar wasn’t too high, because if it was, he could be in serious danger. He wore the metal alert bracelet because it had all his medical information in it, in case he had an emergency.
When we got back, I told the class about Christopher’s diabetes, and suggested that every snack or sweet that we brought to class should be appropriate for him to eat. Surprisingly, all of them agreed. Months went by and Christopher was happier than ever. He didn’t feel so left out during snack time because everyone was eating the same treat. I realized that this was exactly what Christopher wanted-friends who could accept him and love him for who he was.
25. What was the children’s attitude towards Christopher at the beginning?
A. They made friends with him. B. They didn’t like to play with him.
C. They treated him as a disabled kid. D. They helped fight against his disease.
26. Christopher refused to eat the sweet because_______ .
A. he knew it was bad for him B. he disliked eating sweets
C. he was angry with the children D. he didn’t like what was left
27. From the passage we can know the author’s mother_______ .
A. was strict with her kids B. adopted Christopher eventually
C. learnt well about diabetes D. kept the author stay away from him
28. Which of the following word can best describe the author?
A. Honest. B. Positive. C. Smart. D. Considerate.
C

Volunteering Is Fun
One afternoon I was sitting at home feeling so bored. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I wanted to meet people and have new experiences so I decided to start volunteering. I searched on my computer and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.
My time working on a farm was a new experience for me. It was basically a free holiday as food and accommodation were provided. However, it was not your typical holiday as I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle! I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.
However, you do not need to go abroad to volunteer. I have had plenty of adventures at home as volunteering can become a hobby. For example, I love singing so I had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to conduct my local choir(合唱团). I did slowly improve and it felt great to conduct the choir in a concert. At university, I organised a concert for charity(慈善) with my friends. It was really fun finding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in.
It is true that you feel good volunteering but there are also other advantages. I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my services. I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe(衣柜).
While this is all fun, my favourite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories. My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell! Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world. I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people thanks to volunteering.
32. Why did the author want to volunteer?
A. He wanted to go abroad. B. He felt ashamed of himself.
C. He wanted to be a farmer. D. He wanted to taste new life and make friends.
33. The underlined word “hilarious” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______
A. funny B. negative C. awful D. sad
34. What volunteering work did the author do?
A. Helping in a charity shop B. Conducting a choir in a sports event
C. Helping in an Italian farm D. Taking care of sheep
35. How does the author feel according to the last paragraph?
A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Grateful. D. Cautious.

Dear Nelson,
I’m happy to hear from you. In your letter, you expressed deep care and concern towards me, which makes me so thankful. Here I’d like to share with you my present situation of study and life as well as my future plan.
With the college entrance examination approaching, I’m studying much harder than ever
before and rapid progress has been made in most of my subjects. But meanwhile, some problems
still exist. What disturbs me most is that years of math study hasn’t seen much progress regardless of my great efforts in it. Besides, with too much homework every day, I can’t get enough sleep or
afford exercise. How I miss the time spent on the playground!
However, never will I forget my dream---to study in a top university in Beijing. So I am to
face all hardships and keep on moving. Also, I’ll try to balance my study and exercise so that I
can achieve my dream with a healthy body.
Best wishes!
Yours LiHua

Volunteering Is Fun
One afternoon I was sitting at home feeling so bored. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I wanted to meet people and have new experiences so I decided to start volunteering. I searched on my computer and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.
My time working on a farm was a new experience for me. It was basically a free holiday as food and accommodation were provided. However, it was not your typical holiday as I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle! I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.
However, you do not need to go abroad to volunteer. I have had plenty of adventures at home as volunteering can become a hobby. For example, I love singing so I had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to conduct my local choir(合唱团). I did slowly improve and it felt great to conduct the choir in a concert. At university, I organised a concert for charity(慈善) with my friends. It was really fun finding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in.
It is true that you feel good volunteering but there are also other advantages. I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my services. I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe(衣柜).
While this is all fun, my favourite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories. My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell! Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world. I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people thanks to volunteering.

参考范文
Dear Nelson,
I’m happy to hear from you. In your letter, you expressed deep care and concern towards me, which makes me so thankful. Here I’d like to share with you my present situation of study and life as well as my future plan.
With the college entrance examination approaching, I’m studying much harder than ever
before and rapid progress has been made in most of my subjects. But meanwhile, some problems
still exist. What disturbs me most is that years of math study hasn’t seen much progress regardless of my great efforts in it. Besides, with too much homework every day, I can’t get enough sleep or
afford exercise. How I miss the time spent on the playground!
However, never will I forget my dream---to study in a top university in Beijing. So I am to
face all hardships and keep on moving. Also, I’ll try to balance my study and exercise so that I
can achieve my dream with a healthy body.
Best wishes!
Yours LiHua
