A
Robert
Downey
Jr.
is
famous
for
being
a
beloved
Hollywood
actor,
but
now
he
is
adding
“robotics
environmentalist”
to
his
list
of
good
qualities.
Earlier
this
week,
the
Iron
Man
actor
went
to
the
Amazon
MARS
Conference
in
Las
Vegas
to
announce
the
creation
of
his
new
foundation
which
would
use
nanotechnology
(纳米技术)
and
robotics
as
a
means
of
cleaning
up
the
planet.
Downey
Jr.
did
not
show
many
details
on
how
the
organization
would
begin
its
clean-up
job,
but
a
website
went
live
shortly
after
the
actor’s
announcement.As
of
right
now,
the
website
only
includes
a
sign-up
sheet
for
future
newsletters
and
latest
news.
But
Downey
Jr.
said
that
he
would
be
spending
the
next
11
months
working
together
with
UN
experts
and
building
up
the
organization
so
the
group
could
get
to
work
by
April
2020.
After
that,
Downey
Jr.
said
that
“Between
robotics
and
nanotechnology
we
could
clean
up
the
planet
significantly,
if
not
totally,
in
ten
years.”
Downey
Jr.
also
explained
how
his
failure
to
look
after
the
environment
in
the
past
is
now
inspiring
him
to
take
action.
“I
have
this
quiet
sense
of
crisis
(危机),”
he
said.
“I
used
to
spend
a
lot
of
energy
on
things
like
plane
trips,
but
I
want
to
change.”
Regardless
of
the
actor’s
plan,
Downey
Jr.’s
net
worth
is
about
$81
million—more
than
enough
to
start
tidying
up
the
planet.
The
Amazon
MARS
Conference,
which
stands
for
“Machine
learning,
Automation,
Robotics
and
Space”,
hosted
a
lot
of
speakers
who
gave
lectures
on
the
benefits
of
artificial
intelligence.
In
addition
to
announcing
the
start
of
his
organization,
Downey
Jr.
also
talked
about
how
he
and
his
wife
Susan
would
be
the
managing
producers
of
a
new
documentary
series
on
the
wonders
of
AI.

in
the
text?
A.Environmentally

“Film”
and
“movie”
often
mean
the
same
thing.
Either
of
the
words
you
use
may
help
others
guess
where
you
live
or
are
from.
First,
let’s
look
at
the
word
“film”.
One
definition
of
it
is
the
special
material
used
for
taking
photographs.
But
you
can
also
see
a
film
in
a
theatre.
Used
this
way,
“film”
and
“movie”
mean
the
same
thing.
And
as
a
verb,
“to
film”
means
to
record
something
with
a
video
camera.
Here
is
an
example:
“Do
you
want
me
to
film
the
important
moment
so
you
can
remember
it?”
Now
let’s
turn
to
“movie”.
The
word—a
noun—comes
from
the
phrase
“moving
pictures”.
Movies
and
films
are
recordings
of
moving
pictures
that
tell
a
story.
Here
are
some
example
sentences
with
the
word
“movie”:“Do
you
want
to
go
to
the
movies
tonight?”
“If
you
go
to
Hollywood
in
California,
you
might
see
a
movie
star.”
In
the
United
States,it
is
common
to
say
“the
movies”
when
you
talk
about
going
to
a
movie
theatre.
Stephen
Follows
is
a
writer,
producer
and
film
researcher
who
lives
in
England.
He
wrote
that
people
who
work
in
the
film
industry
use
“film”
more
than
“movie”.
However,
he
found
people
who
live
in
the
US
usually
say
“movie”,
while
those
in
Britain
use
both.
“Film”
is
still
more
popular
in
Europe
and
parts
of
Africa,
but
“movie”
is
best
in
America,
as
well
as
in
Japan
and
India.
So
that
is
why
Americans
say
“English
at
the
movies”
rather
than
“English
at
the
films”!
4.What’s
the
same
meaning
of
“film”
and
“movie”?
A.The
thing
we
see
in
a
theatre.
B.The
actors’
performance
in
a
film.
C.The
material
used
for
making
a
film.
D.Recording
something
with
a
video
camera.
5.What
is
the
third
paragraph
mainly
about?
A.The
use
of
the
word
“movie”.
B.The
definition
of
the
word
“film”.
C.The
difference
between
“film”
and
“movie”.
D.The
places
where
people
use
“film”
and
“movie”.
6.In
which
place
do
people
prefer
using
“movie”
to
using
“film”
according
to
the
text?
A.China. B.France.
C.America. D.England.
7.What
can
be
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A.English
at
the
Movies
or
English
at
the
Films?
B.Judge
a
Person’s
Identity
Just
by
English
Words
C.The
Difference
Between
American
and
British
English
D.Is
“Movie”
Older
than
“Film”
in
the
World?

The
writer
Margaret
Mitchell
is
best
known
for
writing
Gone
with
the
Wind,
first
published
in
1936.
Her
book
and
the
movie
based
on
it,
tell
a
story
of
love
and
survival
during
the
American
Civil
War.
Visitors
to
the
Margaret
Mitchell
House
in
Atlanta,
Georgia,
can
go
where
she
lived
when
she
started
composing
the
story
and
learn
more
about
her
life.
Our
first
stop
at
the
Margaret
Mitchell
House
is
an
exhibit
area
telling
about
the
writer’s
life.
She
was
born
in
Atlanta
in
1900.
She
started
writing
stories
when
she
was
a
child.
She
started
working
as
a
reporter
for
the
Atlanta
Journal
newspaper
in
1922.One
photograph
of
Ms.
Mitchell,
called
“Peggy”,
shows
her
talking
to
a
group
of
young
college
boys.
She
is
only
about
one
and
a
half
meters
tall.
The
young
men
tower
over
her,
but
she
seems
very
happy
and
sure
of
herself.
The
tour
guide
explains:
“Now
in
this
picture
Peggy
is
interviewing
some
boys
from
Georgia
Tech,
asking
them
such
questions
as
‘Would
you
really
marry
a
woman
who
works?’
And
today
it’d
be
‘Would
you
marry
one
who
doesn’t?’”?
The
Margaret
Mitchell
House
is
a
building
that
once
contained
several
apartments.
Now
we
enter
the
first
floor
apartment
where
Ms.
Mitchell
lived
with
her
husband,
John
Marsh.
They
made
fun
of
the
small
apartment
by
calling
it
“The
Dump”.
Around
1926,
Margaret
Mitchell
had
stopped
working
as
a
reporter
and
was
at
home
healing
after
an
injury.
Her
husband
brought
her
books
to
read
from
the
library.
She
read
so
many
books
that
he
bought
her
a
typewriter
and
said
it
was
time
for
her
to
write
her
own
book.
Our
guide
says
Gone
with
the
Wind
became
a
huge
success.
Margaret
Mitchell
received
the
Pulitzer
Prize
for
the
book.
In
1939
the
film
version
was
released.
It
won
ten
Academy
Awards,
including
Best
Picture.

Gone
with

10.Why
did
Ms.
Mitchell
stop
working
as
a
reporter
according
to
the
passage?
A.Because
she
was
rich
enough.
B.Because
she
was
injured
then.
C.Because
her
husband
didn’t
like
it.
D.Because
she
wanted
to
write
books.
11.Which
is
the
best
title
for
the
passage?

C.An
Introduction
of
the
Margaret

House
D.A
Trip
to
Know
Margaret
Mitchell
D
Across
the
rich
world,
well-educated
people
increasingly
work
longer
than
the
less-skilled.
Some
65%
of
American
men
aged
62—74
with
a
professional
degree
are
in
the
workforce,
compared
with
32%
of
men
with
only
a
high-school
certificate.
This
gap
is
part
of
a
deepening
divide
between
the
well-educated
well
off
and
the
unskilled
poor.
Rapid
technological
advance
has
raised
the
incomes
of
the
highly
skilled
while
squeezing
those
of
the
unskilled.
The
consequences,
for
individuals
and
society,
are
profound.
The
world
is
facing
an
astonishing
rise
in
the
number
of
old
people,
and
they
will
live
longer
than
ever
before.
Over
the
next
20
years
the
global
population
of
those
aged
65
or
more
will
almost
double,
from
600
million
to
1.1
billion.The
experience
of
the
20th
century,
when
greater
longevity
translated
into
more
years
in
retirement
rather
than
more
years
at
work,
has
persuaded
many
observers
that
this
shift
will
lead
to
slower
economic
growth,
while
the
swelling
ranks
of
pensioners
will
create
government
budget
problems.
But
the
notion
of
a
sharp
division
between
the
working
young
and
the
idle
old
misses
a
new
trend,
the
growing
gap
between
the
skilled
and
the
unskilled.
Employment
rates
are
falling
among
younger
unskilled
people,whereas
older
skilled
folk
are
working
longer.
The
divide
is
most
extreme
in
America,
where
well-educated
baby-boomers
(生育高峰期出生的人)
are
putting
off
retirement
while
many
less-skilled
younger
people
have
dropped
out
of
the
workforce.
Policy
is
partly
responsible.
Many
European
governments
have
abandoned
policies
that
are
used
to
encourage
people
to
retire
early.
Rising
life
expectancy,
combined
with
the
replacement
of
generous
defined-benefit
pension
plans
with
less
generous
defined-contribution
ones,
means
that
even
the
better
off
must
work
longer
to
have
a
comfortable
retirement.
But
the
changing
nature
of
work
also
plays
a
big
role.
Pay
has
risen
sharply
for
the
highly
educated,
and
those
people
continue
to
get
rich
rewards
into
old
age
because
these
days
the
educated
elderly
are
more
productive
than
the
previous
generation.
Technological
change
may
well
strengthen
that
shift:
the
skills
that
make
up
for
computers,
from
management
know-how(技能)
to
creativity,
do
not
necessarily
decline
with
age.
12.What
has
helped
deepen
the
divide
between
the
well
off
and
the
poor?
A.Longer
life
expectancy.
B.Rapid
technological
advance.
C.Profound
changes
in
the
workforce.
D.A
growing
number
of
the
well-educated.
13.What
do
many
observers
predict
in
view
of
the
experience
of
the
20th
century?
A.Economic
growth
will
slow
down.
B.Government
budgets
will
decrease.
C.More
people
will
try
to
pursue
higher
education.
D.There
will
be
more
competition
in
the
job
market.
14.What
is
the
result
of
policy
changes
in
European
countries?
A.Unskilled
workers
may
choose
to
retire
early.
B.More
people
have
to
receive
in-service
training.
C.Even
wealthy
people
must
work
longer
to
live
comfortably
in
retirement.
D.People
may
be
able
to
enjoy
generous
defined-benefit
pension
plans.
15.What
is
the
characteristic
of
work
in
the
21st
century?
A.Computers
will
do
more
complicated
work.
B.More
will
be
taken
by
the
educated
young.
C.Most
jobs
to
be
done
will
be
creative
ones.
D.Skills
that
make
up
for
computers
are
highly
valued
regardless
of
age.

When
everything
goes
wrong,
always
look
at
what
you
have,
instead
of
what
you
have
lost.
Because
it’s
not
what
the
world
takes
away
from
you
that
counts;
it’s
what
you
do
with
what
is
left.
16 ?
Pain
is
part
of
growing.
Sometimes
life
closes
doors
because
it’s
time
to
move
forward. 17 When
times
are
tough,
remind
yourself
that
no
pain
comes
without
a
purpose.
Remember
that
there
are
two
kinds
of
pain:
pain
that
hurts
and
pain
that
changes
you.
When
you
roll
with
life
instead
of
resisting
it,
both
kinds
help
you
grow.?
18 ?
Every
time
you
get
hurt,
you
will
heal.
After
darkness
there
is
always
light—you
are
reminded
of
this
every
morning,
but
still
you
often
forget,
and
instead
choose
to
believe
that
the
night
will
last
forever.
It
won’t.
Nothing
lasts
forever.
Complaining
changes
nothing.
19 It’s
always
better
to
attempt
to
do
something
great
and
fail
than
to
attempt
to
do
nothing
and
succeed.
It’s
not
over
if
you’ve
lost;
it’s
over
when
you
do
nothing
but
complain
about
it.
If
you
believe
in
something,
keep
trying.
Don’t
let
the
shadows
of
the
past
darken
the
doorsteps
of
your
future.?
The
best
thing
you
can
do
is
to
keep
going.
Don’t
be
afraid
to
get
back
up—to
try
again,
to
love
again,
to
live
again,
and
to
dream
again.
Don’t
let
a
hard
lesson
harden
your
heart.
Life’s
best
lessons
are
often
learned
at
the
worst
times
and
from
the
worst
mistakes.
There
will
be
times
when
it
seems
like
everything
that
could
possibly
go
wrong
is
going
wrong. 20 ?
A.Everything
in
life
is
temporary.
B.And
even
if
you
fall
short,
keep
going.
C.Your
scars
are
symbols
of
your
strength.
D.Those
who
complain
the
most,
accomplish
the
least.
E.Here
are
a
few
tips
to
inspire
you
when
you
need
them
most.
F.That’s
a
good
thing
because
we
often
won’t
move
unless
life
forces
us
to.
G.When
you
feel
like
quitting,
remember
that
sometimes
things
can
be
right
eventually.

Three
brothers
left
home
for
college,
and
they
all
became
successful
people.
Some
years
later,
they
got
together
again.
While
having
dinner,
they 21 for
a
long
time.
They
discussed
the 22 they
had
given
their
elderly
mother
who
lived
far
away
in
another
city.
The
oldest
said,
“I
had
a 23 house
built
for
Mama.”
The
second
said,
“I
had
my
Mercedes-Benz
dealer
(奔驰经销商)
send
a 24 to
her.”
The
youngest
said,“You
know 25 Mama
loves
reading
poems
and
you
know
she
can’t
read
any
more
because
she
can’t
26 very
well.
I
met
a
businessman
who
has
a
parrot
that
can
recite
many 27 .
It
took
him
12
years
to 28 it
to
speak
and
he
earns
his
living
by
renting
it
out.
I
have
to
pay
him
$100,000
a
year
for
twenty
years, 29 it
is
worth
it.”
?
Two
weeks
later,
their
mother
sent
out
her
thank-you
notes,
which
read,
“Milton,
the
house
you
built
is
so
huge.
I
only
live
in
one
room,
but
I
have
to
clean
the
whole
house.
It’s
a
(an) 30
job.
Thanks
anyway.”“Marvin,
I
am
too
old
to 31 .
I
stay
home
and
have
others
work
for
me,
so
I’ll 32
use
the
car.
The
33
is
good,
although
not
realistic.
Thanks.”

Melvin,
you
are
the 34
son
to
have
the
good
sense
to
give
a
little
thought

your
gift.

much.

you.”

The
Bicycle
Ride
Jennifer,
a
wealthy
Swedish
girl,
came
to
India
to
get
a
portrait
(画像)
made
by
Rajesh,
a
poor
but
very
gifted
Indian
artist.
Never
before
had
Rajesh
seen
a
more
beautiful
woman
from
the
Western
world.
By
the
time
the
portrait
was
finished,
the
two
had
fallen
in
love.
They
had
fallen
so
deeply
in
love
that
they
got
married
according
to
Indian
tradition.
Sadly,
the
time
came
when
Jennifer
had
to
leave
in
order
to
complete
her
studies
in
Sweden.
Thousands
of
miles
separated
the
two
but
their
feelings
for
each
other
never
changed.
They
kept
in
touch
through
letters,
which
they
exchanged
almost
weekly
with
each
other.
Jennifer
missed
her
husband
so
much
that
she
offered
to
buy
him
air
tickets,
but
he
refused.
He
decided
to
finish
his
own
studies
first.
He
promised
that
he
would
do
anything
he
could
to
see
her
again
on
his
own.
After
Rajesh
finished
his
studies,
he
sold
what
he
had
except
his
paintings
and
brushes.
However,
the
money
he
made
couldn’t
afford
a
flight
ticket.
Not
allowing
the
difficulty
to
stop
him
from
seeing
his
wife
again,
he
made
up
his
mind
to
use
what
he
had
to
realize
his
dream.
All
he
could
afford
was
a
cheap
and
used
bicycle,
which
meant
a
very
long
bicycle
ride,
half
round
the
world.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

参考答案
单元达标检测
第一部分 阅读
第一节
A
这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了好莱坞演员小罗伯特·唐尼的基金会将使用纳米技术和机器人来净化地球。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的his
new
foundation
which
would
use
nanotechnology
(纳米技术)
and
robotics
as
a
means
of
cleaning
up
the
planet可知,唐尼的基金会将会使用纳米技术和机器人来净化地球。因此唐尼成立这个基金会的目的是保护环境。故选B。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I
have
this
quiet
sense
of
crisis
(危机),”
he
said.
“I
used
to
spend
a
lot
of
energy
on
things
like
plane
trips,
but
I
want
to
change.”可知,唐尼对环境有一种危机感。他之前经常坐飞机,消耗了大量的能源,但他现在想要改变,说明他对自己之前的对环境不友好的生活方式感到后悔。故选C。
3.A 推理判断题。分析文章可知,第一、二段提到唐尼将与联合国专家合作,使用纳米技术和机器人来净化地球,第三段提到唐尼想要改变自己之前不环保的生活方式,由此可知唐尼是一个很注重环保的人。environmentally
friendly环保的;generous慷慨的;warm-hearted热心的;popular受欢迎的。故选A。
B
这是一篇说明文。文章从定义、词性、用法和使用地区等几个方面将“film”和“movie”这两个词进行比较,说明它们的相同和不同之处。
4.A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句But
you
can
also
see
a
film
in
a
theatre.
Used
this
way,
“film”
and
“movie”
mean
the
same
thing.可知,当我们说“在电影院里看电影”的时候,
“film”和“movie”的意思是一样的。故选A。
5.A 主旨大意题。根据第三段首句Now
let’s
turn
to
“movie”.及该段剩余部分内容可知,此段介绍“movie”这个词的来历,并举了两个使用“movie”的例子。因此这一段是介绍“movie”这个词的用法。故选A。
6.C 细节理解题。根据第四段中people
who
live
in
the
US
usually
say
“movie”,
while
those
in
Britain...but
“movie”
is
best
in
America
可知,美国人通常说“movie”,而英国人两者都使用,但在美国使用“movie”最合适。故选C。
7.A 主旨大意题。文章从定义、词性、用法和使用地区等几个方面将“film”和“movie”这两个词进行比较,说明了它们的相同和不同之处。故选A。
C
这是一篇说明文。文章以参观作家Margaret
Mitchell故居的视角介绍了她的生平和成就。
8.B 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句They
made
fun
of
the
small
apartment
by
calling
it
“The
Dump”.和最后一段中的Around
1926,
Margaret
Mitchell
had
stopped
working
as
a
reporter...became
a
huge
success.可推知,这本书是在被称为“The
Dump”的地方写出来的。故选B。A项是陷阱项,学生会以作者是报社记者为依据来推断此书首先在报纸上出版,其实推断题不是毫无依据或凭空想象出来的,一定是根据文中的某句或某段内容加以推断。C项也是陷阱项,学生会从最后一段倒数第三句Margaret
Mitchell
received
the
Pulitzer
Prize
for
the
book.找到所谓的依据,其实从此句可知,作者因为这本书获得的是普利策奖,而不是奥斯卡奖,奥斯卡奖是电影奖项。所以C项错误。
9.D 词义猜测题。根据上文One
photograph
of
Ms.
Mitchell,
called
“Peggy”,
shows
her
talking
to
a
group
of
young
college
boys.
She
is
only
about
one
and
a
half
meters
tall.可推知,此处表示这些男孩要比她高很多。tower
over意为“远高于……”。故选D。
10.B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段首句Around
1926,
Margaret
Mitchell
had
stopped
working
as
a
reporter
and
was
at
home
healing
after
an
injury.可知,由于当时受伤,米切尔停止了记者的工作。故选B。
11.D 主旨大意题。本文以参观故居的视角介绍了Margaret
Mitchell的生平和成就。第一段介绍她的著作《飘》,并且该段最后一句中的learn
more
about
her
life点明主旨;第二段从展览区入手,介绍她小时候和年轻时候的事;第三段介绍她和丈夫的公寓;最后一段介绍她如何写出了《飘》,以及获得的成就。综合全文内容可知,D项“A
Trip
to
Know
Margaret
Mitchell”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。
D
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了目前随着技术的进步,21世纪的职场情况是教育水平显得日益重要,受过良好教育的人即使到了老年也能得到较高的收入。
12.B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句Rapid
technological
advance
has
raised
the
incomes
of
the
highly
skilled
while
squeezing
those
of
the
unskilled.
The
consequences,
for
individuals
and
society,
are
profound.可知,科技的高速发展扩大了贫富差距。故选B。
13.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的The
experience
of
the
20th
century,
when
greater
longevity
translated
into
more
years
in
retirement
rather
than
more
years
at
work,
has
persuaded
many
observers
that
this
shift
will
lead
to
slower
economic
growth可知,鉴于20世纪的经验,许多观察人士预测未来的经济发展速度将变缓。故选A。
14.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二、三句Many
European
governments
have
abandoned
policies
that
are
used
to
encourage
people
to
retire
early.
Rising
life
expectancy,
combined
with
the
replacement
of
generous
defined-benefit
pension
plans
with
less
generous
defined-contribution
ones,
means
that
even
the
better
off
must
work
longer
to
have
a
comfortable
retirement.可知,欧洲国家政策变化的结果是,即使是生活较富裕的人也必须延长工作时间,这样他们才能在退休后舒适地生活。故选C。
15.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句Technological
change
may
well
strengthen
that
shift:
the
skills
that
make
up
for
computers,
from
management
know-how(技能)
to
creativity,
do
not
necessarily
decline
with
age.可知,技术变革很可能会加强那种转变:从管理技能到创造力,这些弥补计算机的技能不一定会随着年龄的增长而衰退。由此可知,21世纪工作的特点是无论年龄大小,弥补计算机的技能都很重要。故选D。本题A项Computers
will
do
more
complicated
work.(电脑将做更复杂的工作)错误,因为文中并没有讨论计算机做何种工作的问题;根据文章第一句Across
the
rich
world,
well-educated
people
increasingly
work
longer
than
the
less-skilled.可知,文中讨论的是受过良好教育的高龄工作人员延迟退休的问题,而不是受过良好教育的年轻人的就业问题,所以B项错误。
第二节
这是一篇说明文。当一切都不顺利的时候,要总是看看你拥有什么,而不是你失去了什么。文章介绍了一些能够激励我们勇敢面对挫折和失败的建议。
16.E 根据下文几个小标题Pain

changes
nothing.(抱怨什么都改变不了。)、The

last
forever.
It
won’t.
Nothing
lasts

19.D 根据本段小标题Complaining
changes
nothing.(抱怨什么都改变不了。)及下文It’s
not

if
you’ve

it’s

who
complain
the

accomplish
the
least.(那些抱怨最多的人完成的事最少。)符合语境。故选D。
20.B 根据本段小标题The
best
thing

again.
Don’t
let
a
hard
lesson
harden
your
heart.(不要害怕重新站起来——再试一次,再爱一次,再活一次,再梦一次。不要让一个沉重的教训使你的心变得冷酷。)可知,你能做的最好的事情就是坚持下去,不要因为失败就停止前进。由此可知,B项And
even
if
you
fall
short,
keep
going.(即使你没有达到目标,也要继续前进。)符合语境。故选B。

Dear
Alex,
I
am
glad
that
you
are
interested
in
Chinese
calligraphy.
Chinese
calligraphy
is
an
essential
part
of
traditional
Chinese
culture.
For
Chinese,
calligraphy
serves
the
purpose
of
conveying
thoughts
and
showing
the
beauty
of
lines.
It
is
not
only
a
practical
technique
for
writing
Chinese
characters,
but
also
a
unique
art
which
can
help
purify
our
souls.
If
you
want
to
be
a
good
user
of
the
writing
brush,
first
you
have
to
be
patient.
Second,
you
have
to
keep
practising
since
practice
makes
perfect.
Last,
you
should
pay
attention
to
the
use
of
calligraphy
models.
Just
be
confident
and
practise
hard
and
you’ll
be
good

I

Paragraph
1:
So
his
bicycle
journey
from
India
to
the
Western
world
began.
Rajesh
took
all
his
paintings
and
brushes
along
with
him
in
order
to
make
a
living.
The
journey
led
him
through
eight
countries
and
took
more
than
four
months.
His
bike
broke
down
many
times
along
the
way
and
he
had
to
go
on
without
food
for
days.
But
eventually,
he
managed
to
get
to
Jennifer’s
hometown.
Paragraph
2:
Welcomed

Jennifer
and
her
parents
with
open

he
felt
very

The
young
couple
hugged
tightly,
tears
of
joy
in
their
eyes.
Then
a

ceremony
was
held.
Ever

then,
Rajesh
lived
happily
with
his

two
children
in
Sweden,
never
