Peter wondered why he didn’t have many friends. The reason was he was always taking, never giving.
One day, Peter told Bill, “I’d like to give a party on Saturday. I’d like you to come and bring Martha, too.” “Thanks, Peter. We’d be happy to come.” “Perhaps you’d like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I’m sure everyone will want you to sing for us.” That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next, he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. “You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery.” Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn’t forget to ask something from each one of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.
The party was a big success. However, as the guests were leaving, they said “Thank you” to Bill and Martha for the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work. To Peter they just said, “Thanks for the invitation.”

The greatest feeling in the world comes not from receiving gifts or getting good grades in the exams. It starts when you do something for others. You can feel it when you drive for an hour to a hospital to meet the sick children. And you can also feel it when you sit down to comfort your friend after she didn’t pass the exam.
My friend took me to a Youth Group meeting in his school. Then they invited me to join in feeding the homeless. Early that Saturday morning, a group of 15 teenagers began making sandwiches, washing fruit and counting bags of cookies. For the first time in my life, I realized that we, the teens of America, could make a difference. It made me join the Youth Group.
I work at a coffee shop. It’s not the best job, but sometimes it’s worth (值得的). One day, the store was empty and I was bored. Looking out of the window, I noticed an old man sitting outside. He never came in to buy anything because he didn’t have any money. I took a cup of coffee, walked outside and handed it to him. The smile on his face made my day, and as I walked back into the store, I paid for the coffee myself. Then I knew how the members of the Youth Group feel every time they help someone. Knowing that you can help others is great.
56．Where did the Youth Group have the meeting

“Wow!” said Susan. “I have finished my homework and I’m going to paint a picture of our stairs (楼梯). It’s for a competition in school tomorrow.”
“Do you need any help ” her father asked. “It’s almost time for bed.”
“I’ll be quick,” said Susan. “I wonder what color to use.”
“Well, our stairs are brown.” said her father. “Thanks, Dad.” said Susan.
When she finished her picture, Susan began playing with her brush which was still wet. Suddenly, She dropped the brush right on the picture! There in the middle of her picture was a blob (污点) of brown paint!
“Oh, Dad! What will I do ” Susan cried. “My picture is ruined. And it’s too late to paint another.”

“That’s a wonderful idea!” cried Susan. She drew a dog around the blob of brown paint. “That looks just fine. You know, few things are as bad as they are seen at first. With a little imagination you can turn bad into good.” said Susan’s father.

2．(c)ompletely
【详解】句意：当我们看到一条只有两条腿的狗时，我们非常惊讶。根据“When we saw a dog with only two legs”结合首字母可知，一条狗只有两条腿这是完全让人很惊讶的。completely“完全地”，副词修饰动词。故填(c)ompletely。

5．(t)ruth

7．(w)ood
【详解】句意：这片森林里生长着许多种木材。根据“growing in this forest”和首字母可知，此处指森林里长着许多木材；wood“木材”，不可数名词。故填(w)ood。

38． the rest of

Peter wondered why he didn’t have many friends. The reason was he was always taking, never giving.
One day, Peter told Bill, “I’d like to give a party on Saturday. I’d like you to come and bring Martha, too.” “Thanks, Peter. We’d be happy to come.” “Perhaps you’d like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I’m sure everyone will want you to sing for us.” That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next, he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. “You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery.” Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn’t forget to ask something from each one of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.
The party was a big success. However, as the guests were leaving, they said “Thank you” to Bill and Martha for the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work. To Peter they just said, “Thanks for the invitation.”

The greatest feeling in the world comes not from receiving gifts or getting good grades in the exams. It starts when you do something for others. You can feel it when you drive for an hour to a hospital to meet the sick children. And you can also feel it when you sit down to comfort your friend after she didn’t pass the exam.
My friend took me to a Youth Group meeting in his school. Then they invited me to join in feeding the homeless. Early that Saturday morning, a group of 15 teenagers began making sandwiches, washing fruit and counting bags of cookies. For the first time in my life, I realized that we, the teens of America, could make a difference. It made me join the Youth Group.
I work at a coffee shop. It’s not the best job, but sometimes it’s worth (值得的). One day, the store was empty and I was bored. Looking out of the window, I noticed an old man sitting outside. He never came in to buy anything because he didn’t have any money. I took a cup of coffee, walked outside and handed it to him. The smile on his face made my day, and as I walked back into the store, I paid for the coffee myself. Then I knew how the members of the Youth Group feel every time they help someone. Knowing that you can help others is great.
56．Where did the Youth Group have the meeting

“Wow!” said Susan. “I have finished my homework and I’m going to paint a picture of our stairs (楼梯). It’s for a competition in school tomorrow.”
“Do you need any help ” her father asked. “It’s almost time for bed.”
“I’ll be quick,” said Susan. “I wonder what color to use.”
“Well, our stairs are brown.” said her father. “Thanks, Dad.” said Susan.
When she finished her picture, Susan began playing with her brush which was still wet. Suddenly, She dropped the brush right on the picture! There in the middle of her picture was a blob (污点) of brown paint!
“Oh, Dad! What will I do ” Susan cried. “My picture is ruined. And it’s too late to paint another.”
“Let me see,” said her father. “The blob looks just like a spot on a dog. All you have to do is to draw a dog around the spot!”
“That’s a wonderful idea!” cried Susan. She drew a dog around the blob of brown paint. “That looks just fine. You know, few things are as bad as they are seen at first. With a little imagination you can turn bad into good.” said Susan’s father.
The next day Susan went to school early. When the competition began, Mr. King said, “I’ve chosen three pictures, and I want you to say which one you like best.” The children did not like the first one. The next picture was on black paper, but the stairs were red. So it was not so good. Then Mr. King showed the third painting. It was Susan’s!
“The stairs are straight.” said Joe.
“Yes, and the brown paint shows up well on the white paper.” said Lucy.
“The little dog seems to belong there.” said Terry.
The children voted (投票) and Susan’s painting won.
“Susan had a good idea,” Mr. King said. “That little dog finished a good painting. It made the stairs seem real.”
Susan smiled. She could hardly wait to tell her father the news. He was right. With a little imagination you can turn something bad into something good!
