I really love this saying, “Love is endless and unlimited.” For me, there's a story behind it. When I used to hand out chocolates with beautiful paper bags, my friends always told me, “You are wasting time and money. No one here believes in nameless gifts.” To be honest, I have noticed that people here do donate in temples. They give food to the poor, and provide clothes and other things for whoever is in need.
I think maybe I am the one who starts to think of the dogs in our neighborhood. When I moved into this new community, I noticed that there were two street dogs. They were wounded and homeless, and everyone used to stay away from them and hit them when they came any closer. They were becoming thinner and thinner and they would die of hunger sooner or later.
But my habit of loving dogs has changed all these things. I began to walk close to them and give them food regularly. When I touched their heads and gave love to them, I could see tears in their eyes. My friends noticed, and now even kids and elders in the community provide them with food and also love them. I am really glad to see that I saved their lives.
What I started will lead to beautiful memories with them. They enjoy playing with me and they even have a particular pose when they see me. I see a sparkle in their eyes and a smile on their faces. They are priceless for me.

Mandy and Joe have been married for five years and they both love travelling to new countries. But while this shared hobby brings them together, it is also a source of contention. “I do all the planning and book，” says Mandy. “Don't get me wrong. I enjoy it, but if Joe paid a bit more attention, he wouldn't have turned up for a flight to Grenada packed for a winter city break. ‘Jumpers and boots？！’ I cried. ‘You're supposed to have packed shorts and T－shirts—it's 30℃ in the Caribbean！’ Then I realized he thought we were going to Granada, in Spain.”
How Joe and Mandy each approach their travel plans is just one example of the many ways in which men and women differ. Yet, is what goes on inside our minds and bodies really so different Furthermore, are we born that way
On this issue, scientists are divided. The majority of scientists believed that patterns of behaviour thought to be more male or female are learnt firstly from our parents, then from our peers(同齡人) and, ultimately, from the societies in which we live. As Simone de Beauvoir famously said, “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”
On the other side of the fence sat those who believed that male and female brains are actually wired differently.In one study in which 34 monkeys were required to interact with different types of toys, the males showed a strong preference for toys with wheels rather than soft toys, whereas the females were noticeably drawn to soft toys. These preferences were clearly not the result of parental influence.
Whatever the truth behind the differences between men and women, we can safely conclude that although the social impact on how we think and behave is undeniable, there exists a biological contribution. The question that now needs answering is to what extent biology affects the choices we make and the way other people treat us.
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。文章以Mandy和Joe的故事為切入點，主要介紹男人和女人在行為模式上不同的原因。
28．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean？(　　)
A．Disagreement. B．Satisfaction.
C．Inspiration. D．Information.
答案：A
解析：詞句猜測題。該句意為“雖然共同的愛好讓他們走到一起，但這也是爭論的來源”，因此畫線詞“contention”的意思是“爭論”，即Disagreement，故選A。
29．What topic does the text focus on？(　　)
A．Whether men and women are different.
B．Why minds and bodies are so different.
C．What causes the sex difference.
D．How different males and females are.
答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。通讀全文，尤其是第二段的“How Joe and Mandy each approach their travel plans is just one example of the many ways in which men and women differ. Yet, is what goes on inside our minds and bodies really so different Furthermore, are we born that way ”可知，本文主要論述的是男人和女人在行為模式上不同的原因，即What causes the sex difference，故選C。
30．What does the study about monkeys prove？(　　)
A．Monkeys have their own preferences.
B．Parents indeed have strong impacts.
C．Men and women are born different.
D．Females and males behave differently.
答案：C
解析：細節理解題。根據第四段的“On the other side of the fence sat those who believed that male and female brains are actually wired differently.”和“These preferences were clearly not the result of parental influence.”可知，關于猴子的研究證明了男人和女人是天生不同的。
31．Which statement about sex differences does the author probably agree with？(　　)
A．Biology contributes to the difference.
B．Biology mostly affects our choices.
C．Social influence can be ignored.
D．Peers have more impact than parents.
答案：A
解析：推理判斷題。根據最后一段的“there exists a biological contribution. The question that now needs answering is to what extent biology affects the choices we make and the way other people treat us.”可知，作者可能同意的關于性別差異的觀點是生物學造成了這種差異。
D
In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the University of Zurich told 50 people they'd be receiving about $100. Half of the people were asked to spend that money on themselves, and half were asked to spend it on someone they knew. Before giving out any money, the researchers brought everyone into the lab and asked them to think about a friend they'd like to give a gift to and how much they would spend. They then performed functional MRI scans (掃描) to measure activity in three parts of the brain related to social behavior, generosity, happiness and decision－making.
Their choices—and their brain activity—seemed to depend on how they had promised to spend the money earlier. Those who had promised to spend money on other people tended to make more generous decisions throughout the experiment. They also had more interaction (相互作用) between the parts of the brain related to altruism(無私) and happiness, and they reported higher levels of happiness after the experiment was over.
Another piece of good news was that planning to give away just a little bit of money had the same effects on happiness as giving away a lot. “At least in our study, the amount spent did not matter，” says lead author Philippe Tobler. “Even little things have a beneficial effect—like bringing coffee to one's workmates.”
It's not yet clear how long these warm feelings last after being generous. But studies have shown that older people who are generous tend to have better health, says Tobler, and other research has suggested that spending money on others can be effective at lowering blood pressure. “Moreover, there is a positive connection between helping others and life expectancy (預期壽命)，” he adds.
Next time you think that the best way to make yourself feel better is to buy yourself a treat, consider that the opposite is likely true. “It's worth giving it a try, even if you think it would not work，” Tobler says. “Repeated practice is probably needed so that giving becomes second nature.”
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。研究發現，慷慨使人更快樂、更健康。
32．What did the researchers find out about those promising to spend money on other people？(　　)
A．They were much happier.
B．They had less brain activity.
C．They were slower at making decisions.
D．They experienced higher levels of stress.
答案：A
解析：細節理解題。根據第二段中的Those who had promised to spend money on other people... they reported higher levels of happiness after the experiment was over.可知，那些承諾將錢花給他人的人感覺更快樂，幸福感更強。
33．What does Tobler want to illustrate by mentioning bringing coffee to workmates？(　　)
A．It isn't hard to behave generously.
B．Being generous will pay off in the end.
C．The amount of generosity did not matter.
D．Small acts of generosity can be seen everywhere.
答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。根據第三段中的Another piece of good news was that planning to give away just a little bit of money had the same effects on happiness as giving away a lot.及Tobler所說的the amount spent did not matter和Even little things have a beneficial effect可知，Tobler認為慷慨的程度并不會影響快樂，他通過給同事帶咖啡的例子說明即使微小的慷慨之舉也能帶來快樂。
34．What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us？(　　)
A．Ways to show generosity.
B．Health benefits of being generous.
C．Reasons for performing acts of generosity.
D．Influences generous people have on others.
答案：B
解析：主旨大意題。根據第四段中的studies have shown that older people who are generous tend to have better health... other research has suggested that spending money on others can be effective at lowering blood pressure及there is a positive connection between helping others and life expectancy可知，本段主要講述慷慨有益于健康。
35．What does Tobler suggest people do in the last paragraph？(　　)
A．Practice giving and make it a habit.
B．Don't expect anything in return when giving.
C．Don't believe happiness depends on a good treat.
D．Perform something good even if it may have a bad result.
答案：A
解析：細節理解題。根據最后一段中的Next time you think that the best way to make yourself feel better is to buy yourself a treat, consider that the opposite is likely true及Tobler所說的Repeated practice is probably needed so that giving becomes second nature可知，Tobler認為人們在生活中應該嘗試給予，并讓它成為一種習慣。
第二節(共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分)
閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
How do you deal with hunger of your stomach Eat your favorite meal and keep quiet after that？36(____) But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity sets a full stop.This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next？”， “Why can't I think？”
37(____) Why reading but not watching TV It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to get help from reading.
Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. 38(____) Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas.If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity. 39(____) Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.
So guys, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. 40(____) Go and grab a book!
A．Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.
B．Also this makes a great contribution to your vocabulary.
C．Reading can help you make more friends as well.
D．Now what are you waiting for
E．Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry.
F．Why not do some reading while you are hungry
G．The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.
【語篇解讀】　人的思想也和胃一樣會感到餓，解決這個問題的方法就是要大量的讀書。
36．答案：E
解析：過渡句。上文提到如果肚子餓了就可以吃東西，下文又提到When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity sets a full stop.如果思想失去了成長的自由，創造力就會停止。因此空格處是上下文之間的過渡，將思維與肚子相比較。
37．答案：A
解析：主旨句。根據下文的Why reading but not watching TV？可知，解決思維餓的方法是讀書，故選A。
38．答案：G
解析：細節句。下文的Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas.提到了seed，正好與G選項中的seed相呼應，這本書中有趣的部分作為種子儲存在你的腦海中，現在這個種子在不知不覺中被你用來開發新的想法。
39．答案：B
解析：細節句?？疾閷ι舷挛牡睦斫夂屯评砼袛嗄芰?。根據下文的Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.可知，很快你就可以開始用英語或任何其他語言和你的朋友交談，而且永遠不會用完合適的詞。因此你的詞匯量會非常大，故選B。
40．答案：D
解析：細節句。根據最后一段的So guys, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading.可知，這一段是呼吁大家趕快讀書，所以D選項“現在你還在等什么？”最合適。

第二節(滿分25分)
閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Janet couldn't lift spirit all day, for she missed everything in New Jersey. Her family had just moved here from New Jersey, having rented a small restaurant, which was planned to open next Sunday. She helped her mother and father wash the kitchen supplies in the shiny Dew kitchen.
“I hate this stupid decision. I have lost all my friends in New Jersey. What should I do now？” Janet muttered to herself (喃喃自語).
“What's up？” her mother asked, and never stopped wiping the table and mopping the floor.
“Nothing.” Janet answered in a low voice. The girl had been complaining about the move but her parents had made the decision ignoring (忽視)her feelings. And now they were too busy to comfort her. What's worse, the first few days at her new school hadn't been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to the new classmates surrounding her, and even harder to follow the teachers' pace. Faced with so many challenges, she felt depressed and gave a deep sigh. But the moment she saw her hardworking parents, she could do nothing but look forward and stopped her complaints.
On the day of the grand opening, the three were wearing broad smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant. Even Janet was in high spirits as she rushed around, seating guests, ordering dishes, and serving glasses of water. What a big day for her family!
At one of the tables sat a family with a girl who was about Janet's age. As she filled their glasses, Janet realized the girl was in her class. Janet lowered her head to avoid looking directly into her eyes, and she turned away from the table.
Janet's mother noticed what had happened, and followed Janet to the kitchen. “Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out and you are really a helper.”
注意：
1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2．請按如下格式作答。
“Mom, I don't want to be out there. There is a girl from my school！”
__________________________________________________________
Janet left the kitchen with a glass of lemonade and a plate of cookies.
___________________________________________________________
參考范文：
“Mom, I don't want to be out there. There is a girl from my school! ” Janet sat in the corner, with her spirit sinking. Feeling Janet was in an embarrassment, her mother realized she had ignored Janet's feelings after the move. She expressed her sincere apology to Janet, holding Janet in her arms, and suggested that she make new friends by serving her a lemonade and some cookies. “Taking action is the most effective way to get rid of loneliness！” The instant Janet heard that, her eyes shone with a mixture of excitement and expectation.
Janet left the kitchen with a glass of lemonade and a plate of cookies. Nervous as she was, she accumulated/gathered her courage to approach the table where the girl sat, placing the lemonade and cookies down carefully. She bravely looked at the girl directly into the eyes. “Hello, I'm Janet. Thanks so much for coming to our restaurant! ” The girl looked up, with a bright smile on her rosy face, and gave her a big hug. They became close friends from then on. Most importantly, Janet's enthusiasm about new life was increasingly growing.單元檢測卷(二)

Victor's hobby was collecting stamps. He had stamps from other countries, like England，Canada and China. On his birthday，can you guess what people gave him That's right—stamps.
Victor's favourite stamps came from France. He had almost every stamp from 1954 to 2009. He only needed one. That was a 1974 special edition. It was very hard to find.
He looked for it everywhere. He asked his friends and relatives to help him. But nobody could find the stamp. It made Victor very sad.
“Don't worry. Never give up，” his father said to him.“If you have enough patience，you'll find one one day.”
“I hope so，” Victor said.
Victor also liked writing. He had a penfriend in France. They wrote to each other every month. Victor's penfriend, Phillip, usually used new stamps to send letters. Sometimes, his mother gave him some stamps. Once Phillip's mother gave him a big，green stamp. It looked old. When Victor received the letter, he was very surprised.He looked carefully at the stamp. It was the 1974 special edition stamp. Victor was so happy. He told his sister, his mother and his father.
“You see，” his father said, “you did find your stamp. So, it's good to have two things in life.”
“What are they？” Victor asked.

I really love this saying, “Love is endless and unlimited.” For me, there's a story behind it. When I used to hand out chocolates with beautiful paper bags, my friends always told me, “You are wasting time and money. No one here believes in nameless gifts.” To be honest, I have noticed that people here do donate in temples. They give food to the poor, and provide clothes and other things for whoever is in need.
I think maybe I am the one who starts to think of the dogs in our neighborhood. When I moved into this new community, I noticed that there were two street dogs. They were wounded and homeless, and everyone used to stay away from them and hit them when they came any closer. They were becoming thinner and thinner and they would die of hunger sooner or later.
But my habit of loving dogs has changed all these things. I began to walk close to them and give them food regularly. When I touched their heads and gave love to them, I could see tears in their eyes. My friends noticed, and now even kids and elders in the community provide them with food and also love them. I am really glad to see that I saved their lives.
What I started will lead to beautiful memories with them. They enjoy playing with me and they even have a particular pose when they see me. I see a sparkle in their eyes and a smile on their faces. They are priceless for me.

Mandy and Joe have been married for five years and they both love travelling to new countries. But while this shared hobby brings them together, it is also a source of contention. “I do all the planning and book，” says Mandy. “Don't get me wrong. I enjoy it, but if Joe paid a bit more attention, he wouldn't have turned up for a flight to Grenada packed for a winter city break. ‘Jumpers and boots？！’ I cried. ‘You're supposed to have packed shorts and T－shirts—it's 30℃ in the Caribbean！’ Then I realized he thought we were going to Granada, in Spain.”
How Joe and Mandy each approach their travel plans is just one example of the many ways in which men and women differ. Yet, is what goes on inside our minds and bodies really so different Furthermore, are we born that way
On this issue, scientists are divided. The majority of scientists believed that patterns of behaviour thought to be more male or female are learnt firstly from our parents, then from our peers(同齡人) and, ultimately, from the societies in which we live. As Simone de Beauvoir famously said, “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”
On the other side of the fence sat those who believed that male and female brains are actually wired differently.In one study in which 34 monkeys were required to interact with different types of toys, the males showed a strong preference for toys with wheels rather than soft toys, whereas the females were noticeably drawn to soft toys. These preferences were clearly not the result of parental influence.
Whatever the truth behind the differences between men and women, we can safely conclude that although the social impact on how we think and behave is undeniable, there exists a biological contribution. The question that now needs answering is to what extent biology affects the choices we make and the way other people treat us.
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。文章以Mandy和Joe的故事為切入點，主要介紹男人和女人在行為模式上不同的原因。
28．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean？(　　)
A．Disagreement. B．Satisfaction.
C．Inspiration. D．Information.
答案：A
解析：詞句猜測題。該句意為“雖然共同的愛好讓他們走到一起，但這也是爭論的來源”，因此畫線詞“contention”的意思是“爭論”，即Disagreement，故選A。
29．What topic does the text focus on？(　　)
A．Whether men and women are different.
B．Why minds and bodies are so different.
C．What causes the sex difference.
D．How different males and females are.
答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。通讀全文，尤其是第二段的“How Joe and Mandy each approach their travel plans is just one example of the many ways in which men and women differ. Yet, is what goes on inside our minds and bodies really so different Furthermore, are we born that way ”可知，本文主要論述的是男人和女人在行為模式上不同的原因，即What causes the sex difference，故選C。
30．What does the study about monkeys prove？(　　)
A．Monkeys have their own preferences.
B．Parents indeed have strong impacts.
C．Men and women are born different.
D．Females and males behave differently.
答案：C
解析：細節理解題。根據第四段的“On the other side of the fence sat those who believed that male and female brains are actually wired differently.”和“These preferences were clearly not the result of parental influence.”可知，關于猴子的研究證明了男人和女人是天生不同的。
31．Which statement about sex differences does the author probably agree with？(　　)
A．Biology contributes to the difference.
B．Biology mostly affects our choices.
C．Social influence can be ignored.
D．Peers have more impact than parents.
答案：A
解析：推理判斷題。根據最后一段的“there exists a biological contribution. The question that now needs answering is to what extent biology affects the choices we make and the way other people treat us.”可知，作者可能同意的關于性別差異的觀點是生物學造成了這種差異。
D
In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the University of Zurich told 50 people they'd be receiving about $100. Half of the people were asked to spend that money on themselves, and half were asked to spend it on someone they knew. Before giving out any money, the researchers brought everyone into the lab and asked them to think about a friend they'd like to give a gift to and how much they would spend. They then performed functional MRI scans (掃描) to measure activity in three parts of the brain related to social behavior, generosity, happiness and decision－making.
Their choices—and their brain activity—seemed to depend on how they had promised to spend the money earlier. Those who had promised to spend money on other people tended to make more generous decisions throughout the experiment. They also had more interaction (相互作用) between the parts of the brain related to altruism(無私) and happiness, and they reported higher levels of happiness after the experiment was over.
Another piece of good news was that planning to give away just a little bit of money had the same effects on happiness as giving away a lot. “At least in our study, the amount spent did not matter，” says lead author Philippe Tobler. “Even little things have a beneficial effect—like bringing coffee to one's workmates.”
It's not yet clear how long these warm feelings last after being generous. But studies have shown that older people who are generous tend to have better health, says Tobler, and other research has suggested that spending money on others can be effective at lowering blood pressure. “Moreover, there is a positive connection between helping others and life expectancy (預期壽命)，” he adds.
Next time you think that the best way to make yourself feel better is to buy yourself a treat, consider that the opposite is likely true. “It's worth giving it a try, even if you think it would not work，” Tobler says. “Repeated practice is probably needed so that giving becomes second nature.”
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。研究發現，慷慨使人更快樂、更健康。
32．What did the researchers find out about those promising to spend money on other people？(　　)
A．They were much happier.
B．They had less brain activity.
C．They were slower at making decisions.
D．They experienced higher levels of stress.
答案：A
解析：細節理解題。根據第二段中的Those who had promised to spend money on other people... they reported higher levels of happiness after the experiment was over.可知，那些承諾將錢花給他人的人感覺更快樂，幸福感更強。
33．What does Tobler want to illustrate by mentioning bringing coffee to workmates？(　　)
A．It isn't hard to behave generously.
B．Being generous will pay off in the end.
C．The amount of generosity did not matter.
D．Small acts of generosity can be seen everywhere.
答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。根據第三段中的Another piece of good news was that planning to give away just a little bit of money had the same effects on happiness as giving away a lot.及Tobler所說的the amount spent did not matter和Even little things have a beneficial effect可知，Tobler認為慷慨的程度并不會影響快樂，他通過給同事帶咖啡的例子說明即使微小的慷慨之舉也能帶來快樂。
34．What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us？(　　)
A．Ways to show generosity.
B．Health benefits of being generous.
C．Reasons for performing acts of generosity.
D．Influences generous people have on others.
答案：B
解析：主旨大意題。根據第四段中的studies have shown that older people who are generous tend to have better health... other research has suggested that spending money on others can be effective at lowering blood pressure及there is a positive connection between helping others and life expectancy可知，本段主要講述慷慨有益于健康。
35．What does Tobler suggest people do in the last paragraph？(　　)
A．Practice giving and make it a habit.
B．Don't expect anything in return when giving.
C．Don't believe happiness depends on a good treat.
D．Perform something good even if it may have a bad result.
答案：A
解析：細節理解題。根據最后一段中的Next time you think that the best way to make yourself feel better is to buy yourself a treat, consider that the opposite is likely true及Tobler所說的Repeated practice is probably needed so that giving becomes second nature可知，Tobler認為人們在生活中應該嘗試給予，并讓它成為一種習慣。

How do you deal with hunger of your stomach Eat your favorite meal and keep quiet after that？36(____) But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity sets a full stop.This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next？”， “Why can't I think？”
37(____) Why reading but not watching TV It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to get help from reading.
Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. 38(____) Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas.If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity. 39(____) Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.

【語篇解讀】　人的思想也和胃一樣會感到餓，解決這個問題的方法就是要大量的讀書。
36．答案：E
解析：過渡句。上文提到如果肚子餓了就可以吃東西，下文又提到When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity sets a full stop.如果思想失去了成長的自由，創造力就會停止。因此空格處是上下文之間的過渡，將思維與肚子相比較。
37．答案：A
解析：主旨句。根據下文的Why reading but not watching TV？可知，解決思維餓的方法是讀書，故選A。
38．答案：G
解析：細節句。下文的Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas.提到了seed，正好與G選項中的seed相呼應，這本書中有趣的部分作為種子儲存在你的腦海中，現在這個種子在不知不覺中被你用來開發新的想法。
39．答案：B
解析：細節句?？疾閷ι舷挛牡睦斫夂屯评砼袛嗄芰Α８鶕挛牡腤ithin no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.可知，很快你就可以開始用英語或任何其他語言和你的朋友交談，而且永遠不會用完合適的詞。因此你的詞匯量會非常大，故選B。
40．答案：D
解析：細節句。根據最后一段的So guys, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading.可知，這一段是呼吁大家趕快讀書，所以D選項“現在你還在等什么？”最合適。

第二節(滿分25分)
閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Janet couldn't lift spirit all day, for she missed everything in New Jersey. Her family had just moved here from New Jersey, having rented a small restaurant, which was planned to open next Sunday. She helped her mother and father wash the kitchen supplies in the shiny Dew kitchen.
“I hate this stupid decision. I have lost all my friends in New Jersey. What should I do now？” Janet muttered to herself (喃喃自語).
“What's up？” her mother asked, and never stopped wiping the table and mopping the floor.
“Nothing.” Janet answered in a low voice. The girl had been complaining about the move but her parents had made the decision ignoring (忽視)her feelings. And now they were too busy to comfort her. What's worse, the first few days at her new school hadn't been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to the new classmates surrounding her, and even harder to follow the teachers' pace. Faced with so many challenges, she felt depressed and gave a deep sigh. But the moment she saw her hardworking parents, she could do nothing but look forward and stopped her complaints.
On the day of the grand opening, the three were wearing broad smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant. Even Janet was in high spirits as she rushed around, seating guests, ordering dishes, and serving glasses of water. What a big day for her family!
At one of the tables sat a family with a girl who was about Janet's age. As she filled their glasses, Janet realized the girl was in her class. Janet lowered her head to avoid looking directly into her eyes, and she turned away from the table.
Janet's mother noticed what had happened, and followed Janet to the kitchen. “Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out and you are really a helper.”
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2．請按如下格式作答。
“Mom, I don't want to be out there. There is a girl from my school！”
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
Janet left the kitchen with a glass of lemonade and a plate of cookies.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
參考范文：
“Mom, I don't want to be out there. There is a girl from my school! ” Janet sat in the corner, with her spirit sinking. Feeling Janet was in an embarrassment, her mother realized she had ignored Janet's feelings after the move. She expressed her sincere apology to Janet, holding Janet in her arms, and suggested that she make new friends by serving her a lemonade and some cookies. “Taking action is the most effective way to get rid of loneliness！” The instant Janet heard that, her eyes shone with a mixture of excitement and expectation.
Janet left the kitchen with a glass of lemonade and a plate of cookies. Nervous as she was, she accumulated/gathered her courage to approach the table where the girl sat, placing the lemonade and cookies down carefully. She bravely looked at the girl directly into the eyes. “Hello, I'm Janet. Thanks so much for coming to our restaurant! ” The girl looked up, with a bright smile on her rosy face, and gave her a big hug. They became close friends from then on. Most importantly, Janet's enthusiasm about new life was increasingly growing.
