If you had to choose one word to describe Kevin, it might have been “slow”. He didn’t learn his ABCs as fast as other kids. He never came in first in the schoolyard races. However, his smile was brighter than the sun in June; his heart was bigger than the mountain sky. Kevin’s enthusiasm for life was quite infectious.
When Kevin joined the boys’ school basketball team, basketball became the center of his life. At practice, he worked so hard that you’d think he was preparing for the NBA.He liked to stand in a certain place near the free-throw line and shoot at the basket. Patiently, he stood there throwing ball after ball after ball. “Look at me, Coach!” he’d shout at Randy, jumping up and down with the excitement of shooting.
Kevin and his whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game didn’t help them win. More balls fell out of the basket than into it, and the boys lost every game that season, except one—the night when it snowed and the other team couldn’t make it to the game.
It was a cold snowing afternoon when their last game came. As the last-place team, they played against the first-place team. The game went pretty much the same as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter Kevin’s team stood nearly 30 points behind.
At that point, one of Kevin’s teammates called time-out. As he came to the side, Randy couldn’t imagine why the time-out had been called. “Coach,” said the boy. “This is our last game and I know that Kevin has played in every game, but he’s never made a basket. I think we should let Kevin make a basket.” With the game completely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable, so the plan was made. When they had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who was standing in his special place near the free-throw line.

【答案】His first shot bounced around but missed. As soon as Kevin’s teammates had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who was standing in the certain place near the free-throw line. He shot it slowly, but he missed it again. Nevertheless, all the players of his team kept throwing the ball to him and clapped him with encouragement. Very soon the audience figured out what was happening, so one by one they stood up and clapped their hands. The whole playground thundered with the clapping and shouting, “Kevin! Kevin!” And Kevin just kept shooting.
Finally, the ball took one bounce and went in unexpectedly. With arms shooting high into the air, Kevin shouted, “I won! I won!” He jumped high and hugged every teammate excitedly. Everyone could see tears welling in his eyes. They began to shout wildly and clap their hands to congratulate him. The feathery snow danced in the late afternoon air, making a beautiful sight. The clock ticked off the last few seconds and the first-place team remained undefeated. Even though they lost this game again that afternoon, everyone left the playground truly feeling like a winner.

I’ve spent my adult life as a college professor teaching people how to think more creatively and use more of their brainpower. Interestingly, this lifetime passion was awakened by a casual contest when I was a child.
At a family picnic for employees of the company where my father worked, they held contests for the children — who could blow the biggest bubble-gum (泡泡糖) bubble, who could hop the longest on one leg. I was 13, full of enthusiasm and the spirit of competition, so I threw myself into the contests. The grand finale, the handkerchief-throwing contest, I realize now, was not meant to demonstrate any real skill, but simply for laughs. But it stirred my love of thinking outside the box.
The judge gave each of the dozen children a cloth handkerchief and told us the winner would be the one who threw it the farthest. The first throwers, the little ones, took mighty wind-ups (挥臂动作), but when the cloth left their hands, it opened and fluttered (飘动) to the ground a few inches in front of them. The crowd roared with laughter, and being 13, I didn’t like adults laughing at us.
So it made me angry to see the kids throwing harder when the handkerchief always opened, caught the air and died. The secret was not to throw harder but to keep the cloth from opening. Suppose I hid a rock in the cloth without tying it. The rock would drive the cloth at least farther than the others, and when they separated, people might not notice a small rock landing in the grass. I had a good chance of getting away with it, but I didn’t want to win by cheating. What I really wanted to do was to show them that a kid could beat them at their own game. I had to make the handkerchief fly like a rock. Like a rock! That was it! But the question was how.

Paragraph 1: I was thinking really hard when suddenly a good idea struck me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: “It’s just the handkerchief,” the judge declared, holding it up and untying the knots (结).
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I was thinking really hard when suddenly a good idea struck me. I secretly tied knot after knot until it was the size of a little rock. When it was my turn, there were a dozen cloth handkerchiefs littering the ground. I took a long wind-up, and the balled handkerchief rocketed off into the trees approximately 60 feet away. The emcee stared at me, with narrowed eyes, shocked, and then ran to locate the balled handkerchief. Before the emcee found my handkerchief, a man said, “He must have cheated.”
“It’s just the handkerchief,” the judge declared, holding it up and untying the knots (结). “We didn’t say he couldn’t tie it.” The adults burst into applause and I felt proud and thrilled. But it was more than that. What I learned from this contest was the secret to creative thinking. If you want to maximize your brainpower, you can’t accept rules at face value. You should think deeply about the rules, use your imagination as much as possible, and be creative to do what the rules require, so that you can break the rules and be innovative.

I had all the usual child fears. I couldn’t go to sleep unless the light in my bedroom was on. I dreaded that someday when my mother was distracted, Crazy Betty (our local small-town oddball) would grab me in the grocery store. On the hottest summer nights, my feet had to be wrapped tightly in my bed sheets; if one of them hung bare over the side of the bed, who knew what might grab it in its cold, slimy claw.
But all other frights paled in comparison with the Great Fear, the Titanic of my childhood terrors. That fear — and I admit, I feel a tightening in stomach typing the words even today — was that something would happen to Monk-Monk, my beloved toy monkey. That was the deepest fear of my childhood and I learned from it the lesson of cherishing what’s important in my life.
Looking at Monk-Monk today, you wouldn’t see what I see. You’d see a torn, discolored sock monkey, very much past his prime, stuffing leaking from his stumpy tail, holes on his sock-body inexpertly stitched up with thread that doesn’t match. I see my dearest childhood friend, my companion of a thousand nights. When I was only two and very ill, an aunt made him for me and delivered him to the hospital. I bonded with him fiercely and rarely let him out of my sight. When no one else was around, Monk-Monk played endless games with me, soaked up my tears, and listened to my secrets.
And then Uncle Ken came to visit. He lived in Ohio and occasionally he would come and stay with us for a couple of days. I didn’t know Uncle Ken well, and I didn’t like him very much. I had the feeling that he didn’t really like me, either. He clearly thought it was pretty silly that a big first-grader was dragging a sock monkey around, and he teased me by saying he thought he’d take Monk-Monk home to Ohio with him. His words almost scared me to death. I clutched Monk-Monk more tightly.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I was at school a few days later when Uncle Ken left. As I sat at my desk, trying to focus on my lessons, a sense of unease lingered in the pit of my stomach. Thoughts of Monk-Monk being taken away from me continued to haunt my mind. When I came home, I couldn’t find Monk-Monk anywhere. I can hardly describe the depths of my panic. I don’t think I cried; my terror was beyond that. I could barely breathe. Where was Monk-Monk What has Uncle Ken done to him Had Uncle Ken thrown him out of his car window Was Monk-Monk lying in a weedy strip along the interstate, lonely and cold, never to be loved again
Finally Monk-Monk was found jammed behind the sofa. A surge of relief washed over me like a warm embrace. Tears of joy welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision as I rushed to retrieve my beloved sock monkey. Gently cradling Monk-Monk in my arms, I examined him closely. His discolored fur was covered in dust and his stitches were even more frayed than before, but he remained resilient. That near-loss of Monk-Monk was my first encounter with real, deep-down fear and I was so blessed to have it back.
【导语】本文以事件为线索展开,作者讲述了自己童年时期的恐惧,那时候作者害怕各种东西,其中最害怕的是心爱的玩具猴子Monk-Monk会发生什么事。这是作者童年时最深的恐惧,也教会了作者珍惜生命中重要的东西。虽然今天Monk-Monk已经过了黄金时代,但是它是作者儿时最好的伴侣,作者无法离开它。Ken叔叔来作者家里做客的时候,取笑作者一直拿着Monk-Monk,说自己会把它带回俄亥俄州的家,作者非常害怕。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“几天后Ken叔叔离开时,我在学校。”可推知,第一段可描写作者在学校里非常担心Monk-Monk被Ken叔叔带走,然后回家的时候没有找到Monk-Monk,内心非常慌张恐惧。
②由第二段首句内容“最后,Monk-Monk被发现被卡在沙发后面。”可知,第二段可描写作者重新找到Monk-Monk时喜悦的心情,找到后仔细检查Monk-Monk。

When I adopted him, he had been rescued from death inside a tightly tied black trash bag abandoned right beside a garbage truck on the road. An alert garbage man noticed the bag moving and used a metal rake (耙子) to tear open the bag to look inside. There was my shaking puppy dog. The rake damaged the nerves in his back so he limped a little, but he could run as fast as lightning.
For my dog’s first birthday, I entered him in a fun run sponsored by our local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). I’m not much of a runner, but the run was only 3 kilometers, so I thought it would be fun for both of us.
We practiced for weeks. On our practice runs, he was always eager to go and usually dragged me along behind him. I worked on his leash (拴狗链) manners so that he wouldn’t trip me on the big day. I felt we were ready for anything.
The fun run was downtown among the big buildings, so the noise of barking dogs all around us rose to a deafening pitch at the start of the race. My dog was frightened when the starting tone went off. He had trouble running in the right direction with all the confusion around us. Soon the runners began to thin out, and my dog was running straight and fast. We were passing people and making great time. I was dreaming of a gold-medal finish.
However, when we were six blocks from the finish, my dog suddenly stopped and dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes. I almost dislocated my shoulder from the sudden stop as I was pulled backward by the leash.
He was lying flat on his belly with his head down in the middle of the crossroads. At first I thought something bad had happened to him. He was shaking and sobbing. I did a quick check and couldn’t see anything wrong. I tried to get him up, but he refused. The police officer doing traffic control impatiently signed me to move away so he could release the cars.

But I couldn’t get my seventy-five-pound dog to get up.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Another half-block of carrying him brought the answer—a moving garbage truck.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】But I couldn’t get my seventy-five-pound dog to get up. The harder I tried to scoop him up from the pavement, the more he fought me. The officer yelling and cars honking, I pulled him with all my might, but in vain. Finally, I got my arm under him and lifted him up in a fireman’s carry, throwing him over my shoulder. As I staggered to the roadside, people around were taking my dog’s side, laughing I was running him too hard. I was fuming. My dog would run all day long and he wasn’t the least bit tired.
Another half-block of carrying him brought the answer — a moving garbage truck. Its sound must have hit my dog’s sensitive ears, so he cried louder and clawed at my back as we drew closer to it. I held on tighter and ran as fast as I could to get my sweet baby dog away from that scary garbage truck. I ran with him on my shoulder until I felt him relaxed, and then I set him down. He wagged his tail in gratitude for saving him from the garbage truck. Surely, we didn’t win any medals, but I won his trust forever.

We were in our late 20s with a child when my husband, Ralph, finally graduated from college.
“OK, now I deserve a piano,” I blurted out when he sat down for lunch just before the graduation ceremony. A look of surprise crossed his face.
“We could never afford a piano. After so many years of hard work, we got you through school. Now I deserve a piano,” I repeated.
Several months later, Ralph, with help, moved the upright piano we bought for $ 100 into our cottage’s tiny arched dining room. It smelled a little musty, but had great tone.
Ralph started graduate school, leaving no money for private piano lessons. The first thing that came to my mind was Santa Monica City College—maybe it offered piano lessons. Skimming the catalog, I danced around the room when I found a class at the same time the boys were at preschool.
Practicing, however, was not so easy. Four-year old redheaded Denny crawled out of bed in the evening on a regular basis. That was my time to practice. He’d pad out of the bedroom in his sleeper and climb up on the bench with me. Soon he began plinking (发出叮铃声) on the high keys. I tried to ignore him. He listened to the echoes of the keys and plinked some more. Doing all I could do to keep focused on my own practicing, I continued to ignore him.
This practice pattern became an evening routine. After a while, I didn’t even hear him anymore. Ralph studied. Denny plinked on the high keys, and I focused on my piece for the end-of-the-term recital (独奏会).
That evening came. However, Ralph said he was busy preparing for the midterms and couldn’t watch Denny.
Pacing back and forth, I shook my head trying to figure out what to do. Time was running out. I bundled up Denny—with his sleeper on—and drove off to the recital with him.
“We’ll sit in the front row, Denny,” I whispered. “You have to be very quiet and listen when I am playing.” He nodded, said “Uh-huh,” and we sat down.

【答案】I told Danny it was my turn to play, be good, and be quiet when I play, and I'll come back to you when I'm done. He nodded and said I would be good, but I looked at Danny hesitantly and walked straight to the stage to begin my play. I wanted to give the audience my best. I was so absorbed in my performance that I forgot Danny was offstage.
I was playing to my heart's content, and I saw Danny climbing onto my piano stool, next to me. He was very quiet there. He didn't make a sound. He watched me play. My hanging heart calmed down and I focused more on my playing. Far from freaking me out, the arrival of the baby gave me a great deal of confidence, and I managed to complete my solo without a problem. When I finished, there was thunderous applause and I picked up my little Danni to thank the audience and waved off the stage.

“What’s this — Ben is trying out for Mr. Zuckerman ”
My ears burned at hearing my name. It was Lindsey, the most popular eighth-grader, talking to her friend. I held my breath. She obviously had no clue that my locker was next to Mr. Steven’s room; where the tryout schedule for Charlotte’s Web was posted.
“What if he ruins the character He’s never acted before,” Lindsey continued.
My stomach tightened. Lindsey was right. Who was I kidding I’d never been in a play. So what if Mom told me I was a natural when I imitated (模仿) movie stars Mothers always think you’re talented. At lunch I told Trevor, my best friend, that I’d changed my mind. I’d join the technical crew instead. That fit my quiet-kid image better anyway. Trevor shook his head, but he didn’t try to change my mind. I was starting to look forward to being on the tech crew.
The cast list (演员表) was finalized. Cindy, a seven-grader, got the part of Charlotte. Trevor was Templeton. And Lindsey was Mrs Zuckerman. And rehearsals (排演) started. I spent Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at school. It was fun to learn all the technical stuff. It was also fun to watch the actors from backstage by visualizing (想象) their moves. By the third week I’d memorized everyone’s lines (台词). My mind just does stuff like that.
And then, only a week before the performance, everything fell apart. The actor to play Mr. Zuckerman crashed his bike and broke his leg. Then his understudy (替补) came down with the flu. Things like this weren’t supposed to happen in real life.
Mr. Steven called the cast together. “We cannot get someone else ready by next week. We’ll have to postpone the play.” She frowned. “If the auditorium (礼堂) is booked for later, we may even have to cancel.”
Silence fell. Then I heard Trevor’s voice. “Ben can do it. He has known all the lines by heart.”
Mr. Steven stared at me. I nodded, taking a deep breath, and then spouted out (滔滔不绝地说出) Mr. Zuckerman’s longest speech.
Mr. Steven clapped. “All right, Ben, you’ve saved the show. Cast dismissed for today, but be here the rest of the week. We have a lot of work to do.”
Lindsey just looked at me, confused.

And then it was opening night.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Mr. Steven started us, but on stage I was rather nervous and awkward. I forgot lines partly and sometimes even completely. I tripped over my feet and knocked over some scenery. “Maybe we should postpone the show,” Lindsey sighed. I was ready to agree with her, but Mrs. Steven spoke first, “No, we have some time yet.” Back at home, I practised hard alone. I could spew my lines quickly and confidently. But when the entire cast watched me at rehearsal, I stumbled and stuttered. Laughter burst out. Lindsey grumbled. I did want to crawl into a hole. Mr. Steven told me to take deep breaths and visualize my moves. They did help. Suddenly and finally, I felt the way. And at dress rehearsal, difference was made. Mr. Steven clapped and Lindsey looked relieved.
And then it was opening night. Nervousness hit again. Before the play, I threw up. I waited backstage, my blood running cold. The lights came up. The audience clapped. My entrance came. I took a deep breath and walked on. I, visualizing my moves, calmly and naturally interacted with Lindsey. It seemed like just a minute later that the scene was over. I made it! I hadn’t missed a line or knocked over anything. When the play was over, someone poked me in the ribs and signaled to me to walk onstage. It was Trevor. Mr. Steven and all the actors were out. The audience roared. As we walked offstage, Mr. Steven gave me a thumbs up and Lindsey nudged me. “You turned out to be some actor,” she said. I grinned. Maybe next year I’ll try out for the lead.
【导语】本文以事情发展的顺序为线索展开。讲述了作者本想参加学校组织的话剧表演,出演Mr. Zuckerman这一角色,但是在意外听到高年级的学生Lindsey说自己不适合出演时,决定放弃这个角色,加入技术团队。最终Mr. Zuckerman这一角色由七年级的学生Cindy出演。在排练期间,作者观看演员出演,并记住了每个人的台词。但是在表演开始前一周,Cindy出了事故,无法出演,于是Mr. Steven要作者出演,作者答应了。但是Lindsey却很困惑地看着作者。

Ahmad sat at a table in the school cafeteria. The election for fifth-grade class president was only about two weeks away, and Ahmad knew it was time to begin seriously campaigning.
“I think you need a catchy slogan, ” said his friend,twirling(旋转)a pencil as he thought. “How about Authentic and Approachable: Always Ahmad ”Ahmad beamed. “It’s got a nice ring to it.”
“You need something that people will remember. They won’t forget that Olivia was the fourth-grade president last year and they’ll like the fact that she has experience, “his friend added. Ahmad nodded, grinning. “I know, but I think I can bring some fresh ideas. Do you know Olivia’s plans for the campaign ”
Olivia, meanwhile, sat at her kitchen table with her twin sister. They were eating cupcakes while discussing what to put on the signs they planned to make. At the center of the table were posterboard in bright colors, markers, pens, colored pencils, and crayons.
“Where should we start ” asked her sister ,brushing the cream from her hands. “What do you want people to know about you ” Olivia raised her head and thought for a moment. “I want them to know I’m a hard worker,“ she said, eyes bright and alert. “I have experience as class president. I also have a lot of ideas of making this a great school year.” “Experience is truly important,” commented her sister. “Dad once told me he would vote for someone who had proven to be the kind of leader he was looking for in his company.”
An enormous grin spread across Olivia’s face. “What about Olivia for President-All Original, All Experience,” suggested her sister. “Oh, or Olivia for President, Opportunity for All “ “I like both of those, ”exclaimed Olivia.“ The first one reminds the voters of my experience. The second one lets them know I will listen to their ideas and work for and with them. ”Her words fell as she took out a fat red marker and began the first poster.

【答案】
Two weeks later on the election, Ms. Pond announced, “Now, we have two candidates with same votes.”Now that the two candidates are tied on the ballot, let’s have a further campaign. Olivia went on stage first to give a speech, but surprisingly he was in a wheelchair. “Because of my injury, I have decided to withdraw from the campaign,” he said. “Why is this happening ” Ms. Pond asked. The classmate who pushed the wheelchair beside him said, “He is trying to save a classmate, so he can’t walk because of his foot injury. He needs to rest for a period of time to recover.” All the people present applauded for the former helpful fourth-grade president, including Ahmed.
Ahmad went to the front of the room to begin his speech after Olivia.“Olivia is a great class president ,” Ahmed said tearfully. “His behavior deeply touched our hearts. Each of us should learn from his noble spirit of sacrificing oneself to save others.” I want to learn from the best. I suggest that Olivia stay on as fifth-grade president when she gets well again. I’d be happy to be his assistant, if he doesn’t mind. It was a thunderous ovation, and both men deserved it. The two men embraced and smiled in a warm round of applause.

My best friend Carla Hernandez called me on Thursday afternoon. “Daniel, meet me in the park near the playground in five minutes. I have a great idea!” This worried me because Carla’s great ideas almost always meant big trouble for me!
I dashed outside and jogged to the park. When I saw Carla, my heart sank because her large dog Perro was with her. I liked everything about Carla except Perro. I had never had a pet in my house, and I felt uncomfortable and nervous around animals. But I was embarrassed to say I was afraid of Carla’s dog.
Upon my arrival, Carla smiled in a joyful voice. “Isn’t this the perfect location for a pet show ” I was surprised at her words. Carla explained to me that all the kids in the neighborhood could show off their pets’ talents and demonstrated the things they did well. Besides, there were plenty of comfortable benches for our parents and friends to sit on as audience. Carla added that I could be the announcer since I didn’t have a pet for the show. What she said directly affected my mood because crowds always made me nervous and unsure. Looking into her eyes, I apologized, “I’m sorry, but that’s impossible! Besides, I don’t like animals, remember ”
“That’s nonsense,” said Carla. “There’s nothing to be concerned about because you’ll be great! ”Just at that time, Perro leaped up, slobbered all over me, and almost knocked me down.“ Yuck. Down, Perro! Stay! ”I shouted. Perro sat as still as a statue.“ Wow, you’re good at that, ”Carla raised her voice excitedly. "Now let’s get started because we have a lot to do.”
With her encouragement, I decided to have a try. After going back home, I couldn’t wait to practise announcing each pet’s act. By Saturday morning I had practiced hundreds of times. However, my stomach was doing flip flops by the time the audience arrived at the park. The size of the crowd made me feel even more anxious.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 When the show began, I took a deep breath and announced the first pet. It was a bird named Butter whose talent was walking back and forth on a wire. When Butter finished, everyone clapped and cheered. So far, everything was perfect. I was beginning to feel calmer and more relaxed. I realized that being an announcer was not so bad after all.
Then it was Carla and Perro’s turn. Carla asked Perro to sit, but Perro didn’t sit. Carla was at a loss what to do next. Perro was too interested in watching so many pet friends at the show. Suddenly, Perro broke free from the rope, leaped quickly and knocked over the bird cage. “Sit!” I shouted at Perro. “Stay!” I cried. Suddenly, everyone stopped and stared at me. Hearing my instructions, Perro sat immediately and looked at me. “Wow, amazing!”said Carla. He smiled at me and gave me a thumb-up. I felt so happy and proud.

I like staying overnight at my Gramma’s house — that is, until Gramma starts telling me how wonderful my cousin Maya is. Then it’s Maya this and Maya that until I don’t ever want to hear another word about her.
That’s why I wasn’t too excited when Gramma called me on the phone to “come on over and bring your pajamas.” When I got there, it was worse than I’d expected. There, in Grandpa’s big leather rocker, sat Maya, all dressed up and formal-looking and wearing fancy shoes as if she’d just been to a party.
“Surprise, Kristen!” Gramma said. “Your cousin Maya and her parents have traveled in from the East Coast on business. Maya gets to stay with us this afternoon.” Gramma chattered away about how excited she’d been for this surprise get-together, and how cousins ought to get to know each other better.
I hung my baseball cap in the closet and set my backpack by the stairway, all the time smiling and nodding as if I’d been waiting forever for this chance to spend an afternoon with Maya. Grandpa’s chair squawked (咯咯叫) as Maya rocked back and forth. It’s the chair I like best in the house, the one I usually sit in. I sat down on the sofa across from her.
Shortly, Gramma went off to the kitchen to “see about some lunch,” she’d said. That left me stuck in the living room with rocking Maya.
She was still small but taller than I’d remembered her from her last visit four years ago. She was good at small talk, though, and was chatting away about how nice it was to see me again. But I could tell that she didn’t really think so. The last time she was here, we’d had hours of fun together building caves out of Gramma’s sofa pillows.
After that, I’d heard about her only through Gramma’s tales. Maya taking piano lessons. Maya learning math. Maya, Maya, Maya. Now Maya was here, looking great with the latest haircut and a fancy dress.

“How do you know all these things about me ” I asked.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Glancing down at my jeans and my old sneakers, I wished I hadn’t come. A rush of shame flooded over me as I compared myself to Maya-Gramma’s favorite. She was smarter, prettier, and more talented than I could ever hope to be. The thought of being loved less by Gramma because of Maya was unbearable. “I hear you like to skate,” Maya’s words crashed through my thoughts. What she announced was totally beyond my expectation. Astonished and speechless, I wondered how she knew about my skating. “I hear you are the captain of your basketball team. Even better, you are always competitive and aggressive in any sports activities,” she exclaimed, her eyes full of envy and admiration.
“How do you know all these things about me ” I asked Shrugging and looking down, Maya told me that my Gramma wrote about me in her letters and that I was her favorite person to write about. Numb with shock, I stared at Maya’s face, and the only thing that came to my mind was, “You won the first prize in the math competition, didn’t you ” Maya looked up, confused. I explained that my Gramma talked about her all the time. We laughed, chatted about everything, and had fun building caves out of Gramma’s sofa pillows. Time flew by, and as Maya and her parents drove off, Gramma and I waved goodbye until they were out of sight. “Isn’t Maya a lovely child!” Gramma grinned. “She’s really nice,” I agreed, now understanding that Gramma had two favorites.

“Jordi! Wake up!” Father’s voice called from the hallway, and I sat up quickly. The day finally came! The day that I would be a castellar—a tower builder. Mama had breakfast ready. “Are you prepared for your moment of fame ” Papa asked in excitement. My throat was suddenly very dry, and the bread got stuck as I swallowed. Taking a big swig of juice, I put on a smile. “I'm ready” I would do well. I wanted to make him proud.
Here in the eastern part of Spain, casteller groups were very popular. My city hosted the competition this year. Before that, I’d watched my parents compete. But never before had I been part of the tower. It was so high. And it sometimes fell. I was hesitant to be up there. But for the past year, I had been practicing the climb. I was twelve, and I must not be a coward (胆小鬼). So for the first time in a competition, I would help build the tower!
In town, I saw that the center was packed with people and casteller teams from all over the country. Hands sweating, I was waiting for our turn to compete. Mom came and patted me on the shoulder. “Have focus. Have faith.” I nodded to show that I understood and would do my best to follow the suggestions.
Soon, too soon, it was our turn.
My father and three of the strongest men stood in a circle facing each other as they held tightly to each other’s arms. Four more strong men stepped behind, each wrapping his arms around the chest of a man and giving him a bear hug. Then fifty more men and women crowded behind and began pushing on their backs to keep them tightly together.
Our base was solid. Four smaller men climbed onto the backs of the base group and stood on their shoulders. They then grabbed onto each other’s arms and held firmly, creating a strong second tier (层). Another group of men would form the third tier. Then, a group of women, including Mom, started climbing and began to form the fourth tier. Our tower was growing taller and taller.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then suddenly it was kids’ turn to make the last tier. Tightly gripping the clothing of those we were climbing over, we passed the first two tiers without difficulty. By the time I reached the fourth tier, nerves made my hands sweat and my knees tremble, for I was very high off the ground. As I climbed onto my mother’s shoulders, my foot slipped off and I slid down. Instinctively, I clutched Mom’s arm with all my might. Feeling the tower below swaying a bit, my heart began a crazy dance in my chest. “Stay focus!” Exclaimed a kid beside me. Sweat trickling down my face, I took a deep breath to calm myself. I could not be responsible for ruining our tower. I could not disgrace my parents or myself. I could not let my team down.
“Jordi. Easy!” My mother whispered the words. I calmed my heart and again placed my foot on Mom’s lap. This time, I grasped her shirt and firmly pushed myself to a stand, balancing on one foot. With the other foot, I stepped up and onto her shoulders, and then brought the other foot up. Reaching deep inside to feel my balance, with focus and trust, I rose slowly out of my crouch and straightened my knees. I worked hard to hold myself straight and still until our tower was complete. Whether or not we won this competition, I knew we had done what we had set out to do. With faith in each other and with focus on the task, we built our tower. Eventually, I became a casteller!
