Poor Jack lost his sight at the age of six after a car accident．He was cornered in his dark world．An already terrible life now looked completely hopeless．His mother tried to encourage him，but nothing she said could help him at all．
Later Jack did nothing but lie in bed，sighing all day．His mother felt miserable，telling him to live with his disability，work hard and change his life on his own．She said，“Son，since you have lost your sight and nothing can change that，you have to accept it．There are things you can't do．But there are lots of things you can do．You have a creative mind．Find something you enjoy and stick with it．”
The future didn't seem too bright for a blind child from the countryside．But as this young boy thought about his mother's words，about what he really wanted to do in his life，he dreamed of becoming a star．So as a child，he would practice playing the piano and singing each day from then on．
Once one of his classmates heard him practicing at school and told him，“You can't play the piano，and you can't sing either．These things are meaningless for you．You are doomed to a loser．”
That classmate's comment was like a sharp knife，cutting Jack's heart into pieces．For several days，he was in low spirits．“Should I give my dream up or stick to it？” he thought．All these days，his mother's words lingered in his mind．“Nothing can get in the way of my dreams，” said the determined boy．From then on，he was determined to become a star and remained focused on his goal．Hard as it was，he was willing to accept the challenge and make more efforts．Finally his hard work paid off．
In his life，he received countless awards for his music．___________________

课时提升作业(九) (UNIT 3 Section Ⅲ WRITING WORKSHOP & READING CLUB)
(总分：60分)
Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
It was Christmas Eve when my elder sister and I decided to open our presents before our mom got home from work．She usually came home about an hour after we got home from school，which we thought was plenty of time to sneak a look (偷看) at the gifts under the tree．
My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to stand guard at the big window in our front room．Finally，when my sister's curiosity was satisfied，we changed places．
After opening a few presents，I found it faster to open one end of a present and look inside．“Cool！Mom and Dad got me headphones！”I pulled the headphones out of the box and was about to put them on when my sister shouted，“Quick！Wrap (包裹) it back up！Mom's coming！”
I put the headphones back in the box but my hands were shaking．My heart beat faster as I tried to get the tape to stick．I had just finished burying the package with my headphones in it when my mother came into the front room．I jumped up and said，“Hi，Mom！”She smiled at me and said“Hi”back，but didn't appear to suspect (怀疑) a thing．My heart began to slow as I took a deep breath．
On Christmas morning，my sister and I smiled，and gave award-winning performances when we opened our presents again．“Headphones！”I shouted，“Thanks，it's just what I wanted．”After everything had been opened，my sister and I looked at each other，and our eyes met．Our secret was safe，but somehow Christmas morning didn't feel the same．
My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again．I don't know if it was that opening our gifts for the second time just wasn't as much fun as the first time，or if we came too close to getting caught and didn't want to think about what our mother would have done to us．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是出于好奇，作者和姐姐在圣诞节前夕趁母亲不在时偷偷提前打开了圣诞礼物。可是，当圣诞节清晨打开礼物的一刻来临，作者却感受到一种失落。
1．What did the author and his sister do before their mother came back？
A．They bought some Christmas presents．
B．They hid Christmas presents under the tree．
C．They opened Christmas presents in advance．
D．They wrapped the headphones for their mother．
√
C [细节理解题。根据第一段的“She usually came home about an hour after we got home from school，which we thought was plenty of time to sneak a look at the gifts under the tree．”和第二段“My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to stand guard at the big window in our front room．Finally，when my sister's curiosity was satisfied，we changed places．”可知，作者和姐姐在圣诞节前夕趁母亲不在时偷偷提前打开了圣诞礼物。故选C。]
2．How was the author feeling when his mother was coming？
A．Grateful and moved．
B．Happy and excited．
C．Curious and surprised．
D．Nervous and frightened．
√
D [推理判断题。根据第四段的“I put the headphones back in the box but my hands were shaking．My heart beat faster as I tried to get the tape to stick．”可知，听到母亲马上要回来，作者双手发抖、心跳加快，由此可推知，当作者的母亲要来的时候，作者既紧张又害怕。故选D。]
3．Why did Christmas morning give the author a different feeling？
A．His secret was found out．
B．His curiosity wasn't satisfied．
C．A pleasant surprise was lost．
D．A festival atmosphere was lost．
√
C [推理判断题。根据第三段的“Cool！Mom and Dad got me headphones！”可知，作者提前知道了爸爸妈妈给自己买了耳机，再根据倒数第二段的“‘Headphones！’I shouted．‘Thanks，it's just what I wanted．’After everything had been opened，my sister and I looked at each other，and our eyes met．Our secret was safe，but somehow Christmas morning didn't feel the same．”可知，圣诞节清晨作者打开礼物后假装激动和尖叫，但其实那份惊喜已经不存在了，所以圣诞节的早晨给了作者一种不同的感觉。故选C。]
4．What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph？
A．He didn't like the headphones．
B．He regretted what he had done．
C．He wasn't satisfied with his mother．
D．He couldn't find his Christmas present．
√
B [推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者和姐姐从此以后再也没有提前打开过圣诞礼物，他分析可能的原因是第二次打开礼物让他不再有真正的惊喜和兴奋感。由此判断，他对自己之前提前打开礼物的做法是有点后悔的。故选B。]
B
Every year，people all around the world come together to celebrate Earth Day with lots of different activities．Earth Day events typically have one theme in common：the desire to show support for environmental issues and teach future generations about the need to protect our planet．
The very first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22，1970．The event，which some consider to be the birth of the environmentalmovement，was founded by former United States senator Gaylord Nelson．Nelson chose the April date，when spring comes，while avoiding most spring breaks and final exams．He hoped to call for college and university students for what he planned as a day of environmental learning and activism．
Participants (参与者) from 2，000 colleges and universities，primary and secondary schools，and hundreds of communities across the United States got together in their local communities to mark the occasion of the very first Earth Day．Almost 20 million Americans filled the streets of their local communities on that first Earth Day．
Earth Day is now observed in 192 countries，and celebrated by billions of people around the world．Events can be found everywhere from tree planting activities at your local park to online parties that share information about environmental issues．In 2011，28 million trees were planted in Afghanistan by the Earth Day Network．In 2012，people rode bikes in Beijing to raise awareness about climate change and help people learn what they could do to protect the planet．
How can you get involved？The possibilities are endless．Pick up trash in your neighborhood．Make a commitment to reduce your food waste or electricity use．Plant a tree．Talk to your friends and family about environmental issues．The best part？Make every day Earth Day and help to make this planet a healthy place for all of us to enjoy．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地球日的起源、庆祝活动和目的。
5．From whom did Nelson hope to get support for his plan？
A．Teachers． B．Officials．
C．Students． D．Researchers．

My New Brother
I was in my room，feeling unwilling to head to the community theatre with“my brother”Henry．He had recently been adopted by my parents and I was not in the mood for being on stage with him．
“Kirstie，come here，”my mum called．Following her voice，I found her outside the bathroom，holding a wet book．She gave the book a shake．“Henry's book was in the bathtub．Did you put it there？”She glared at me，something she had never done before Henry came to our home．I hadn't wet his book on purpose．Raindrops fell from my eyes．To make matters worse，she promised to buy him a new copy．My heart ached．Henry was stealing my mother's love．He was ruining my life．
Meanwhile，Henry was nearby，absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结)，something he liked to do．Why did a boy like him like doing girly work？It seemed far from manly (男子汉气概)．
Soon，it was time to set off to the community theatre．As Henry walked ahead of us to the car，my mum took me aside and said in a low voice，“It will be Henry's first time onstage．Be kind to him，honey．”I nodded but sighed (叹气)．I hadn't always found that it was difficult to be kind．But since Henry had moved in，everything felt different．The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me．With Henry involved，it didn't seem so special any more．
Finally，it was our stage time．My heart beat wildly．I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while．As we kids lined up，ready to act out our short play，I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring on my skirt．Sure enough，my skirt began to drop．I could hear the audience laughing．Even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt，I could feel my face burst into flames．However，my hands were full．If only someone could help me out．
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Right then，Henry sensed my embarrassment．__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the performance，I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully．______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[参考范文]
Right then，Henry sensed my embarrassment．He immediately came to my aid．He pulled up my skirt and skillfully tied the drawstring with a beautiful knot．Seeing what Henry did for me，something deep in my mind began to change．It seemed as if my cold heart began to melt slowly and my annoyance at him gradually gave way to guilt．I regretted having treated him as a stranger．While my mind was wandering，our performance time came．It turned out a great success，thunderous applause filling the whole theatre．
After the performance，I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully．“Thanks，”I said with a grateful smile on my face．I had to admit that but for his timely help，I would have been extremely embarrassed．Without his knotting skill，the performance would have been quite different．“KNOT a problem．You are my sister，”he grinned innocently，saying humorously．Surrounded by the cheerful atmosphere，I felt a flood of warmth of a big family．Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have a new person in my corner of the world after all．

Every year，people all around the world come together to celebrate Earth Day with lots of different activities．Earth Day events typically have one theme in common：the desire to show support for environmental issues and teach future generations about the need to protect our planet．
The very first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22，1970．The event，which some consider to be the birth of the environmental movement，was founded by former United States senator Gaylord Nelson．Nelson chose the April date，when spring comes，while avoiding most spring breaks and final exams．He hoped to call for college and university students for what he planned as a day of environmental learning and activism．
Participants (参与者) from 2，000 colleges and universities，primary and secondary schools，and hundreds of communities across the United States got together in their local communities to mark the occasion of the very first Earth Day．Almost 20 million Americans filled the streets of their local communities on that first Earth Day．
Earth Day is now observed in 192 countries，and celebrated by billions of people around the world．Events can be found everywhere from tree planting activities at your local park to online parties that share information about environmental issues．In 2011，28 million trees were planted in Afghanistan by the Earth Day Network．In 2012，people rode bikes in Beijing to raise awareness about climate change and help people learn what they could do to protect the planet．
How can you get involved？The possibilities are endless．Pick up trash in your neighborhood．Make a commitment to reduce your food waste or electricity use．Plant a tree．Talk to your friends and family about environmental issues．The best part？Make every day Earth Day and help to make this planet a healthy place for all of us to enjoy．

My New Brother
I was in my room，feeling unwilling to head to the community theatre with“my brother” Henry．He had recently been adopted by my parents and I was not in the mood for being on stage with him．
“Kirstie，come here，” my mum called．Following her voice，I found her outside the bathroom，holding a wet book．She gave the book a shake．“Henry's book was in the bathtub．Did you put it there？” She glared at me，something she had never done before Henry came to our home．I hadn't wet his book on purpose．Raindrops fell from my eyes．To make matters worse，she promised to buy him a new copy．My heart ached．Henry was stealing my mother's love．He was ruining my life．
Meanwhile，Henry was nearby，absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结)，something he liked to do．Why did a boy like him like doing girly work It seemed far from manly (男子汉气概)．
Soon，it was time to set off to the community theatre．As Henry walked ahead of us to the car，my mum took me aside and said in a low voice，“It will be Henry's first time onstage．Be kind to him，honey．” I nodded but sighed (叹气)．I hadn't always found that it was difficult to be kind．But since Henry had moved in，everything felt different．The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me．With Henry involved，it didn't seem so special any more．
Finally，it was our stage time．My heart beat wildly．I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while．As we kids lined up，ready to act out our short play，I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring on my skirt．Sure enough，my skirt began to drop．I could hear the audience laughing．Even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt，I could feel my face burst into flames．However，my hands were full．If only someone could help me out．
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Right then，Henry sensed my embarrassment．____________________________

An On-site Craft Competition
An on-site craft competition was held in our school library last Saturday，which was aimed at developing students'innovative spirit and labor skills．
The participants selected from all the classes were required to create a craft in the given time． After an hour，a variety of awesome works were presented，including vivid wooden carvings and lifelike clay animals． Finally，the completed works were judged，ten of which received awards．
The competition was a great success． Not only did it provide the students with a platform to demonstrate their talents，but also it stimulated their interest in exploring their creativity．
Ⅲ．[参考范文]
Right then，Henry sensed my embarrassment．He immediately came to my aid．He pulled up my skirt and skillfully tied the drawstring with a beautiful knot．Seeing what Henry did for me，something deep in my mind began to change．It seemed as if my cold heart began to melt slowly and my annoyance at him gradually gave way to guilt．I regretted having treated him as a stranger．While my mind was wandering，our performance time came．It turned out a great success，thunderous applause filling the whole theatre．
After the performance，I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully．“Thanks，”I said with a grateful smile on my face．I had to admit that but for his timely help，I would have been extremely embarrassed．Without his knotting skill，the performance would have been quite different．“KNOT a problem．You are my sister，”he grinned innocently，saying humorously．Surrounded by the cheerful atmosphere，I felt a flood of warmth of a big family．Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have a new person in my corner of the world after all．
Ⅰ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是出于好奇，作者和姐姐在圣诞节前夕趁母亲不在时偷偷提前打开了圣诞礼物。可是，当圣诞节清晨打开礼物的一刻来临，作者却感受到一种失落。
1．C [细节理解题。根据第一段的“She usually came home about an hour after we got home from school，which we thought was plenty of time to sneak a look at the gifts under the tree．”和第二段“My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to stand guard at the big window in our front room．Finally，when my sister's curiosity was satisfied，we changed places．”可知，作者和姐姐在圣诞节前夕趁母亲不在时偷偷提前打开了圣诞礼物。故选C。]
2．D [推理判断题。根据第四段的“I put the headphones back in the box but my hands were shaking．My heart beat faster as I tried to get the tape to stick．”可知，听到母亲马上要回来，作者双手发抖、心跳加快，由此可推知，当作者的母亲要来的时候，作者既紧张又害怕。故选D。]
3．C [推理判断题。根据第三段的“Cool！Mom and Dad got me headphones！”可知，作者提前知道了爸爸妈妈给自己买了耳机，再根据倒数第二段的“‘Headphones！'I shouted．‘Thanks，it's just what I wanted．'After everything had been opened，my sister and I looked at each other，and our eyes met．Our secret was safe，but somehow Christmas morning didn't feel the same．”可知，圣诞节清晨作者打开礼物后假装激动和尖叫，但其实那份惊喜已经不存在了，所以圣诞节的早晨给了作者一种不同的感觉。故选C。]
4．B [推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者和姐姐从此以后再也没有提前打开过圣诞礼物，他分析可能的原因是第二次打开礼物让他不再有真正的惊喜和兴奋感。由此判断，他对自己之前提前打开礼物的做法是有点后悔的。故选B。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地球日的起源、庆祝活动和目的。
5．C [细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“The event，which some consider to be the birth of the environmental movement，was founded by former United States senator Gaylord Nelson．Nelson chose the April date，when spring comes，while avoiding most spring breaks and final exams．He hoped to call for college and university students for what he planned as a day of environmental learning and activism．”可知，他希望号召大学生参加他计划的环境学习和行动日。故选C。]
6．B [推理判断题。根据第三段的“Almost 20 million Americans filled the streets of their local communities on that first Earth Day．”可推知，第一个地球日是成功的。故选B。]
7．D [段落大意题。根据第四段的“In 2011，28 million trees were planted in Afghanistan by the Earth Day Network．In 2012，people rode bikes in Beijing to raise awareness about climate change and help people learn what they could do to protect the planet．”可知，本段通过数据和场面描写介绍了地球日产生的影响。故选D。]
8．A [推理判断题。根据最后一段的“How can you get involved？”和“Pick up trash in your neighborhood．Make a commitment to reduce your food waste or electricity use．Plant a tree．Talk to your friends and family about environmental issues．”可知，本段是对如何参加地球日的问题进行回答，指出从日常生活中的具体行动入手。故在最后一段中，作者希望人们采取具体行动参与世界地球日。故选A。]
