三:阅读理解
The definition of community has evolved (升华)for me from childhood to the young adult I am now. My mom was born in America but both her parents were from the Bahamas. It was their culture to take care of the elderly and the sick. And my mom has taught me to be caring to those around us because we're all a part of the "community" , an extension of family.
When I was 9 years old, my family moved to Cape Coral, Florida. Both mom and dad worked full-time, so they registered me to attend an after-school program at the Youth Center. Youth counselors (辅导员) would help me with my homework and play games with me and this was where my interest took munity service started with me giving back at the Youth Center.
Then illness struck at home. My grandmother had to have heart surgery and needed hospital treatment. This experience brought me to volunteer at Cape Coral Hospital. I asked if I could learn from the nurse how to give my grandma her medicine and it started here.
I loved being at Cape Coral Hospital. I would bring paperwork to other doctors, bring food to the patients, and make sure the patients were attended. I would help direct visitors to see patients. I would always tell what would cheer the patients up because I had built a relationship with them and their loved ones. I grew to feel the hospital was a part of my community.
After volunteering at the Youth Center and at the Hospital, I've learned that people become sort of an extended family when you care about them. Now I am more considerate of those close to me, neighbors and even strangers who share my resources.

Snow began to fall across the Apennines Mountain in January and lasted for days.From his home in the suburbs,Matrone watched the weather with concern.He and his wife,Cicioni,had planned an overnight getaway to the hotel halfway up the mountain.But now he wondered whether they should go.After phoning the hotel,they decided to make the trip.When they finally arrived six hours later,they were both cold and exhausted.They checked into their room and went to bed early.
As they awoke the next day,they discovered that their difficulty had worsened overnight.The cars in the parking lot were invisible.The phone and power lines were down.Many people were digging their cars.
With a dozen vehicles freed by noon,the guests set off down the driveway.But when they reached the main road,the path was blocked by a six-foot-high wall of snow.Matrone climbed out of his car and there was no road in sight.“We’re trapped!”He told his wife.So they had no choice but to make their way back to the hotel.
As it was getting dark,they managed to be back.That was when the snow on the mountain began to slide.They heard the avalanche (雪崩) before they saw it.The avalanche gathered speed and size,grabbing anything in its way down the mountain and tearing the hotel from its foundation.When the avalanche came to a stop,those caught inside the hotel were left buried in the icy rocks and ruins.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
When Matrone came to himself,he was stuck in the darkness.
It was not until the next morning that the rescuers finally arrived.

Dear Tom,
I’m happy to receive your letter and know that you’re coming to China.I’m writing to sincerely express my warmest welcome.I’d like to tell you something about some places of interest in China.Personally,one of the best is the Great Wall of China.With a history of over 2,000 years,it runs like a huge dragon across North China.And now it’s a world-famous tourist attraction.
If you come to visit the Great Wall,you’d better come a day before maintaining the Wall and avoid weekends or holidays,when it is too crowded with tourists,so as to enjoy its beauty more peacefully.
Yours,
Li Hua

When Matrone came to himself,he was stuck in the darkness.Lying on his stomach,he realised with horror that he was under something heavy and couldn’t move at all.“Cicioni!Cicioni!”he called,but there was no response.He could hear nothing of what was happening at the surface.The whole world was dead still.What he had to face was a terrible reality—they were buried alive.Despair washed over him.He asked himself again and again,“Who is going to save us ”
It was not until the next morning that the rescuers finally arrived. Without any hesitation they got down to detecting the remains of the hotel and they were delighted to discover there was sign of life beneath.With great efforts they removed the thick snow and began cutting the roof.Then they carefully lowered themselves through the hole they’d made.Suddenly,they heard someone crying for help in a weak voice.It was Matrone.Later all the survivors were rescued including Matrone’s wife.The couple felt really lucky to be still alive!
