About six years ago I was going through a tough time, having two jobs to afford my rent. On a cold Sunday morning，I went to Game Stop—a video game retailer（零售商），to cancel the game I’d booked. A woman in a car parked outside called me when I exited the store. Though it was in broad daylight，I was shy about it and kept some distance when I walked over. She said she couldn’t walk and requested me purchase a Kinect，a popular game device，for her as her son’s Christmas gift. Because of her leg disease，it was painful for her to move around. She called ahead but the employee（雇员）wasn’t willing to help. She gave me about $100 in cash and her credit card.
I walked back in and bought the Kinect. Then it occurred to me that this woman，a complete stranger，trusted me. What was it that stopped me from lying about the payment method and just pocketing her cash？She couldn’t know I wasn’t a cheat; and how could she possibly believe in someone so much？
I handed her the cash back, explaining I had to pay with her card—it was above $100 at the time, and handed over the game device and her credit card.“This is what my son’s been longing for. Thank you! By the way, just from glancing at you, I know you are the one who will be a friend to someone in need. You have a face of an angel!”she said. She gave me $10 and refused to take it back. Then she drove away.
She had no idea how much of a difference even $10 made. I was able to buy a few cheap groceries for the week and it really made the hard time in my life a little better. She might think I helped her; however, I truly felt like the one who was being gifted something amazing.

[山东青岛平度2020高一段测]You may think that choosing to lose weight requires a lot of effort and pain. The truth is，you can lose weight，feel healthier，and look amazing，all by doing small things every day. 1 When you’re ready to lose a few pounds，check out these five small everyday things you can do.
2
Believe it or not, the diameter your plate can have a dramatic impact on how much food you eat at any time of the day. The bigger your plate is，the more you can put on it, and the more you put into your body.
Use a Food Diary or an App
It’s so easy to sit at your desk or on the couch eating up an entire bag of potato chips, or a full packet of cookies. 3
If you keep a food diary or an app outlining what you eat, how much of it, and how many calories it has, you may be more inclined to control your food intake.
Drink More Water
4 Your body needs more water than you’re probably giving it, and you may be reading the signs all wrong. Keep a water bottle at hand, and drink water throughout the day. By doing so, you can control your appetite while also making sure your body doesn’t lack water.
Exercise More
It seems taking fixed exercise can help you lose weight. However, it’s not only those 10-mile runs that make all the difference. 5 For instance, park further away from the grocery store, climb the steps instead of the elevator and jog on the spot during TV ad breaks of your favourite show.
A. Use Smaller Dishes
B. Control Your Food Intake
C. You have to make plans for exercise.
D. All too often, we mistake thirst for hunger.
E. Many small changes can make a significant difference.
F. Exercise doesn’t have to be something you have to think about doing, and it can be fun.
G. However, if you know how many calories are in them, you may decide to change your mind.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Saturday，David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them，he heard the woman yelling，How stupid you are！You’re good at nothing.“David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there，looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered middle school. David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing，which David believed. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day to his surprise, the comment“well done”from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written.
When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote another short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised.
David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them and correct them for him. Mrs Brown always corrected them for him. Mrs Brown always corrected the mistakes he had made and gave him good advice to improve them. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。

（1）What would David do for the boy？
（2）Why was the woman ashamed？
（3）What would the woman do and say？
【参考范文】
Inspired by his own life story，David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman，who immediately recognised him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs Brown. In the end，he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing。”
The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realised that she shouldn’t have called her son a stupid boy，which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said，“Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead，I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.”The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy，David felt relieved，hoping his action could make some difference to the boy.
