When I was in the sixth grade, my teacher asked our class the question, “What does ‘doing the right thing’ mean to you ” She asked us to think about it over the weekend, and to talk to anyone else we thought might have a good answer. By Monday, we were to hand in an article on it, and be prepared to live up to our answers.
The whole weekend, I tried to come up with something that would impress（使留下深刻印象）my teacher and be easy to do. I talked to my parents, called my grandmother, and asked my next door neighbor. Everyone had good answers, but I didn’t feel like I could do them.
On Sunday afternoon my parents took me to my Aunt Cindy’s house. After dinner, my parents told me to play with my four-year-old cousin Andrea while they visited. I turned on the television and found a Disney movie for Andrea, and then I sat down and started to write my article. I still don’t know what I was going to write about. Soon I felt a pair of eyes on me. It was Andrea.
“What are you doing ” she asked.
“I have to write an article about what doing the right thing means to me.” I answered. Andrea laughed. “That’s easy,” she said.
“Okay, tell me the answer,” I said.
“Doing the right thing means: Being nice to your family and friends. Doing what your mum says. Never lie. Take a bath when you’re dirty. Don’t waste water and electricity...”
I looked at Andrea amazingly. Not only had she answered a very difficult question for me, but I could easily follow all of her rules. And all I had to do was to be nice. So when I wrote my article, I include the story about Andrea.
Two weeks later, my teacher returned everyone’s articles. I received an A+ along with a little note my teacher had written: “Always do the right thing—and give Andrea an A+, too!”

②She tried to think about something special and easy to do.
③She wrote the article and introduced how Andrea helped her.
④She asked Andrea to tell her the answer and she found it useful.
A. ①②③④ B.②①④③ C. ②③①④ D. ④①③②
( )37. When did the writer write her article？
A. On Sunday morning. B. On Sunday afternoon. C. On Sunday evening. D. On Monday morning.

Dear editor,
I’d like to talk about four important inventions in human history. They are the medicine, plane, train and computer.
When we’re ill, we should take medicine. It can stop us from getting sicker. It has made it possible for us to live longer.
Mostly we take the plane or train to go to very far places. They have made it more convenient for us to go out.
The computer was invented in the 20th century. It is used by us to study, work or relax. It has made our lives more convenient and colorful.
I can’t imagine what our life will be like without the four inventions.
Yours,
Chen Hui
