【原文】M: Well, to remain up to date with happenings around the world, I always follow the news, but I have a keen interest in the local news as they have a direct impact on my life. Let me talk about one such local news that I came across in the local newspaper last week which was about the construction of a park for the city residents. Actually, there is no park in my locality. However, there is an abandoned factory where people throw the garbage. At the same time, you can see homeless animals all the time.
The local administration has now decided to transform it into a public park. It would definitely help to make my locality clean and green. In addition, it would be a wonderful place for old people to sit together to play cards and enjoy other activities. Similarly, it would also provide a safe playing area for children. In my area, most children play on the streets which are quite dangerous as there is always a risk of accidents. Last but not least, people these days suffer from many health concerns, but in the park, they can go for a walk. The construction work would start by next month, and I just saw that this has brought a huge smile on the faces of local residents.

Cherry Hill East graduate Max McGee will start his first day as a sports anchor (主持人) on ESPN’s Sports Center on Jan.31. After three years of covering Baltimore and Maryland sports for WIZ-TV, McGee’s new position will involve carrying out live interviews with athletes, reviewing previous games and looking ahead to others.
A graduate of Cherry Hill East, McGee got his first broadcast experience on a sports show. It was an idea encouraged by the late East softball coach Charlie Musumeci. “I remember him coming up to me after school,” McGee remembered. He said, “You’d probably be really good on camera. I know you talk about sports. Why don’t you give it a shot ” “He really started something,” McGee added, “He saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself.”
In 2008, McGee had a hard time. He was recovering from a setback (挫折) he experienced when he attended Camden County College and played baseball. He dreamed of playing baseball as a career, but was cut by his team.
“My dream wasn’t over,” McGee added. “It was just a different chapter because I realized I would be able to talk about sports for a living, instead of playing them. And that was great.”
He graduated in 2012. Then he went on to study journalism at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he joined All Sports Update, a student-run program on Temple TV, and got broadcast experience through WHIP radio. After 14 months of searching for a reporter’s job, he landed a job in Lake Charles, Louisiana, as a news reporter and producer at KPLC-TV.
“I didn’t intend to be a news reporter, but looking back on it, it was probably the best thing that ever happened in my career,” McGee noted.
His advice for kids who might want to be sports anchors one day is to stop worrying about which school to attend or what subject to study, and get on camera as much as possible.
24. Jan. 31 is special for McGee because he will __________.
A. prepare for the graduation party in Camden County College.
B. interview Charlie Musumeci in Maryland.

C. He invited him to join East softball team.
D. He dreamed of playing baseball.
26. Which of the following can best describe McGee as a sports anchor
A. Experienced. B. Thoughtful. C. Friendly. D. Creative.
27. What is McGee’s suggestion for kids wanting to be sports anchors

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Max McGee原本打算成为棒球运动员，已故东部垒球队教练Charlie Musumeci的鼓励下，他发现自己并不适合这项运动，而是可以靠谈论体育为生，最终他成为了一位新闻记者和制片人。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Cherry Hill East graduate Max McGee will start his first day as a sports anchor on ESPN’s Sports Center on Jan.31.(Cherry Hill East的毕业生Max McGee将于1月31日在ESPN体育中心开始他作为体育主播的第一天)”可知，1月31日对于Max McGee来说很特别，是因为这是他作为体育主播的第一天，他将在ESPN开始自己新的职业生涯。故选D。

I know you talk about sports. Why don’t you give it a shot ”(McGee毕业于Cherry Hill East，第一次在体育节目中获得广播经验。这是一个由已故东部垒球队教练Charlie Musumeci鼓励的想法。“我记得他放学后来找我，”McGee回忆道。他说：“你可能在镜头前表现得很好。我知道你在谈论体育。你为什么不试一试呢？”)”可知，Charlie Musumeci鼓励McGee谈论体育，开始体育主播的职业生涯。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Then he went on to study journalism at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he joined All Sports Update, a student-run program on Temple TV, and got broadcast experience through WHIP radio. After 14 months of searching for a reporter’s job, he landed a job in Lake Charles, Louisiana, as a news reporter and producer at KPLC-TV.(然后，他在费城的坦普尔大学学习新闻学，在那里他加入了坦普尔电视台的学生节目《全体育更新》，并通过WHIP电台获得了广播经验。在寻找记者工作14个月后，他在路易斯安那州查尔斯湖找到了一份工作，在KPLC-TV担任新闻记者和制片人)”可知，McGee学习了新闻学，加入节目，获得广播经验，并担任新闻记者，可推知McGee是一名经验丰富的体育主播。故选A。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“His advice for kids who might want to be sports anchors one day is to stop worrying about which school to attend or what subject to study, and get on camera as much as possible.(他给那些有朝一日可能想成为体育主播的孩子们的建议是，不要再担心上哪所学校或学习哪门学科，尽可能多地出镜)”可知，McGee建议想成为体育主播的孩子尽可能多地出镜，即尽可能多地进行练习，获得足够的练习机会。故选C。
C
Imagine coming home after a long day at work and being welcomed by a loving pet who greets you warmly. Better yet, imagine a pet that never has to be fed and never has to use the bathroom.
Robopest provide many of the perks of a real pet without all of the responsibility. These furry (毛) robofriends are more advanced and lifelike than remote-controlled toy dogs. Many feature realistic fur for an enjoyable petting experience and make sounds and small, natural movements.
Paro is one of the most popular companion robots. It is a robotic baby harp seal (鞍背海豹) with cute black eyes and a pacifier (安抚奶嘴) that doubles as its charger. Created by Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Paro is more than a stuffed animal. The little seal is packed with five kinds of sensors: touch, light, audio, temperature and posture. Plus, Paro is super intelligent; it can learn to behave in a way that the user prefers. According to the Paro website, “If you stroke (抚摸) it every time you touch it, Paro will remember your previous action and try to repeat that action to be stroked.”
While animal-assisted therapy (疗法) and the benefits of pets have been analysed in numerous scientific studies, real animals may not always be the appropriate choice for an older adult. Animals can be a lot of work; they can spread some diseases to humans and they may not always be on their best behaviour. That is where robotic pets come into play. In a study on Paro’s effect on hospital/nursing home residents, researchers found that those who interacted with Paro were less lonely over the period of the trial.
Robot pets are becoming a common fixture in assisted living communities and, as years go by, these robopets will become more advanced at copying real animal behaviours. While some believe that robot pets can’t compete with real animals, the companionship they provide to older adults cannot be denied.
28. What does the underlined word “perks” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Solutions. B. Challenges. C. Chances. D. Advantages.
29. How smart is Paro
A. It can work without electricity. B. It can touch its user.
C. It can repeat its user’s words. D. It can adapt its actions to its user.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly intended to explain
A. What researchers have found about diseases.
B. Why robotic pets are suitable for people.
C. What dangers animals can bring to humans.
D. Why hospitals apply animal-assisted therapy.
31. What is the author’s attitude to the future of robot pets
A. Disapproving. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Unclear.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是机器人宠物的一些优点。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文中的“These furry (毛的) robofriends are more advanced and lifelike than remote-controlled toy dogs. Many feature realistic fur for an enjoyable petting experience and make sounds and small, natural movements.(这些毛茸茸的机器狗朋友比遥控玩具狗更先进、更逼真。许多逼真的皮毛为一个愉快的宠物体验，并发出声音和小的，自然的动作。)”可知，这些宠物机器朋友更形象、更逼真，可以提供许多愉快的宠物体验，也就是说，机器人宠物提供了真正宠物的一些好处，由此可知，划线单词的意思应与“好处”意义相近。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Plus, Paro is super intelligent; it can learn to behave in a way that the user prefers. According to the Paro website, “If you stroke (抚摸) it every time you touch it, Paro will remember your previous action and try to repeat that action to be stroked.”(此外，帕罗超级聪明；它可以学会以用户喜欢的方式行事。据Paro网站介绍，“如果你每次触摸它都抚摸它，Paro就会记住你之前的动作，并试图重复你抚摸它的动作。”)”可知，Paro超级聪明，他可以学会按照用户喜欢的方式行事，由此可知，Paro能够调整自己的行为去适应用户。故选D项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“While animal-assisted therapy (疗法) and the benefits of pets have been analysed in numerous scientific studies, real animals may not always be the appropriate choice for an older adult.(虽然许多科学研究都分析了动物辅助疗法和宠物的好处，但对于老年人来说，真正的动物可能并不总是合适的选择)”可知，许多研究发现真正的动物辅助疗法不总是适合老年人选择，结合下文中的“That is where robotic pets come into play.(这就是机器人宠物发挥作用的地方。)”可知，机器人宠物可以解决真正宠物的一些问题；由此可知，本段主要讲述的是为什么机器人宠物适合人类。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“While some believe that robot pets can’t compete with real animals, the companionship they provide to older adults cannot be denied.(虽然有些人认为机器人宠物无法与真正的动物竞争，但它们为老年人提供的陪伴是不可否认的。)”可知，尽管有些人认为机器人宠物无法和真正的宠物竞争，但作者认为机器人宠物给老人的陪伴是不可否认的，由此推知，作者对机器人宠物的未来持乐观态度。故选C项。
D
With governments across the world supporting native languages, it may seem like people in power are finally beginning to accept linguistic diversity (语言多样性). But there’s still a long way to go.
In Mexico, for example, speakers of native languages still face challenges that Spanish speakers may not. According to Mexico News Daily, speakers of native languages in the state of Chiapas are still influenced by Castilianization practices, which serve to change these communities to mainly Spanish-speaking ones. Although Mexico is home to many native languages, like Nahuatl and Mixtec, most of these languages have become endangered because of Spanish’s predominance (主导地位).
A recent survey done by researchers at Western Kentucky University tries to explore the public’s attitudes toward native language education in the country. Although the Mexican government’s efforts to protect native languages have been far from satisfactory, it appears that the Mexican public is generally quite supportive of efforts to revitalize (使恢复生机) native languages.
87% of respondents (调查对象) to the survey said they agreed with the statement that “the presence of native people is important to Mexican culture.” The researchers also asked respondents about their thoughts on teaching native languages and English in school. Most of the respondents agreed that it was important to teach these as subjects in school, though native languages received a bit less support than English (88.4% of respondents supported teaching English in school compared to 70.8% for native languages).
The researchers noted that the Mexican government has made some efforts in recent years to support native languages, such as the National Institute of Native Languages, which provides a variety of online courses to help people learn native languages. Now, Nahuatl is one of the few languages native to Mexico that is not endangered — most of the country’s native languages have less than 100,000 native speakers.
32. What do we know about speakers of native languages in Chiapas
A. They are encouraged to speak Spanish.
B. They are treated the same as Spanish speakers.
C. They have made a challenge to Spanish’s predominance.
D. They have had great success in protecting their language.
33. What does the recent survey find about the Mexican public
A. They care little about native languages.
B. They want to keep native languages alive.
C. They think native languages are more important than English.
D. They support schools specializing in teaching native languages.
34. Why did the researchers mention the National Institute of Native Languages
A. To recognize the Mexican government’s efforts.
B. To share its creative way of protecting Nahuatl.
C. To introduce it as a language training center.
D. To stress its importance to Mexican culture.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Mixtec, one of the most spoken native languages in Mexico
B. Nahuatl, an endangered native language in Mexico
C. Mexicans support native language education
D. Mexicans are losing their native languages
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界各国政府支持本土语言，似乎表明权力人士终于开始接受语言多样性,但还有很长的路要走。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“According to Mexico News Daily, speakers of native languages in the state of Chiapas are still influenced by Castilianization practices, which serve to change these communities to mainly Spanish-speaking ones. (据《墨西哥新闻日报》报道，恰帕斯州讲本族语言的人仍然受到卡斯蒂利亚化习俗的影响，这种习俗将这些社区变为主要讲西班牙语的社区。)”可知，恰帕斯的母语使用者被鼓励说西班牙语。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A recent survey done by researchers at Western Kentucky University tries to explore the public’s attitudes toward native language education in the country. Although the Mexican government’s efforts to protect native languages have been far from satisfactory, it appears that the Mexican public is generally quite supportive of efforts to revitalize (使恢复生机) native languages. (西肯塔基大学的研究人员最近做了一项调查，试图探究该国公众对母语教育的态度。尽管墨西哥政府保护土著语言的努力远不能令人满意，但看来墨西哥公众普遍相当支持振兴土著语言的努力。)”可知，墨西哥公众希望保留本土语言。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers noted that the Mexican government has made some efforts in recent years to support native languages, such as the National Institute of Native Languages, which provides a variety of online courses to help people learn native languages. (研究人员指出，墨西哥政府近年来已经做出了一些努力来支持土著语言，例如国家土著语言研究所，该研究所提供各种在线课程来帮助人们学习土著语言。)”可知，研究人员提到了国家土著语言研究所，以认可墨西哥政府的努力。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers noted that the Mexican government has made some efforts in recent years to support native languages, such as the National Institute of Native Languages, which provides a variety of online courses to help people learn native languages. Now, Nahuatl is one of the few languages native to Mexico that is not endangered — most of the country’s native languages have less than 100,000 native speakers. (研究人员指出，墨西哥政府近年来已经做出了一些努力来支持土著语言，例如国家土著语言研究所，该研究所提供各种在线课程来帮助人们学习土著语言。现在，纳瓦特尔语是墨西哥本土少数几个没有濒危的语言之一——该国大多数本土语言的母语使用者不到10万人。)”及全文可知，本文主要介绍了墨西哥政府支持本土语言。因此选择项C“Mexicans support native language education.(墨西哥人支持母语教育。)”是本文的最佳标题。故选C。

考查名词。句意：疫情开始后，20出头的中国村民祖文宝的生活一直很艰难，但多亏了北京的陈氏工作室，音乐成了他的救命稻草。in one’s twenties是固定搭配，表示“在某人二十多岁时”，所以空处应用名词的复数形式。故填twenties。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意：祖患有孤独症谱系障碍，这是一种由大脑差异引起的发育障碍。结合语意可知，此处表示一种发育障碍，空处应用不定冠词表示泛指，developmental是辅音音素开头的单词，前边应用a。故填a。

【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：陈说：“他们很难与他人正常沟通，更不用说从事一份平常的工作了，但他们可能会以艺术家的身份谋生。空处修饰动词communicate，应用副词normally作状语。故填normally。

One day a boy found a bird lying on the ground, squawking (叫喊) for help. Feeling sad for the bird, the boy petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, the young boy dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, the boy immediately offered to care for the bird.
The boy named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest (鸟巢) for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. The boy and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. The boy always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). The boy’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member.
In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful!
But what then The boy became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. The boy loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. The boy wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how Keep the windows closed all the time That was not practical.”

【答案】
Then, he made a decision: He bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. In the beginning, Lucky seemed fine inside it. He believed he had made the right choice to keep Lucky close and secure. However, as time passed, things took a turn for the worse. Fully recovered, Lucky wanted to spread its wings and fly in the sky. When all its attempts failed, what Lucky could do was sitting inside the little cage and squawking sadly. Several days later, Lucky refused to eat and drink. Worried and confused, he didn’t know what to do about it.
Knowing the bad situation, the boy’s parents decided to help Lucky as well as their son. They told their son, “If you really love Lucky, you should think of how to make it happy.” After careful consideration, the boy opened both his heart and the cage. Lucky was released and flew away. Two weeks later, a wonderful thing happened: Lucky returned, followed by a group of birds. They flew around the boy and chirped happily, seeming to say thanks to him. Instead of losing a friend, the boy had made many more.

Cherry Hill East graduate Max McGee will start his first day as a sports anchor (主持人) on ESPN’s Sports Center on Jan.31. After three years of covering Baltimore and Maryland sports for WIZ-TV, McGee’s new position will involve carrying out live interviews with athletes, reviewing previous games and looking ahead to others.
A graduate of Cherry Hill East, McGee got his first broadcast experience on a sports show. It was an idea encouraged by the late East softball coach Charlie Musumeci. “I remember him coming up to me after school,” McGee remembered. He said, “You’d probably be really good on camera. I know you talk about sports. Why don’t you give it a shot ” “He really started something,” McGee added, “He saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself.”
In 2008, McGee had a hard time. He was recovering from a setback (挫折) he experienced when he attended Camden County College and played baseball. He dreamed of playing baseball as a career, but was cut by his team.
“My dream wasn’t over,” McGee added. “It was just a different chapter because I realized I would be able to talk about sports for a living, instead of playing them. And that was great.”
He graduated in 2012. Then he went on to study journalism at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he joined All Sports Update, a student-run program on Temple TV, and got broadcast experience through WHIP radio. After 14 months of searching for a reporter’s job, he landed a job in Lake Charles, Louisiana, as a news reporter and producer at KPLC-TV.
“I didn’t intend to be a news reporter, but looking back on it, it was probably the best thing that ever happened in my career,” McGee noted.
His advice for kids who might want to be sports anchors one day is to stop worrying about which school to attend or what subject to study, and get on camera as much as possible.
24. Jan. 31 is special for McGee because he will __________.
A. prepare for the graduation party in Camden County College.
B. interview Charlie Musumeci in Maryland.
C. report sports news for WJZ-TV.
D. begin his new career in ESPN.
25. What did McGee say about Charlie Musumeci
A. He was one of the most famous sports anchors in Cherry Hill.
B. He inspired him to start a career as a sports anchor.
C. He invited him to join East softball team.
D. He dreamed of playing baseball.
26. Which of the following can best describe McGee as a sports anchor
A. Experienced. B. Thoughtful. C. Friendly. D. Creative.
27. What is McGee’s suggestion for kids wanting to be sports anchors
A. Getting their teachers’ opinions. B. Choosing their schools carefully.
C. Getting enough chances to practice. D. Learning to work well with others.
C
Imagine coming home after a long day at work and being welcomed by a loving pet who greets you warmly. Better yet, imagine a pet that never has to be fed and never has to use the bathroom.
Robopest provide many of the perks of a real pet without all of the responsibility. These furry (毛的) robofriends are more advanced and lifelike than remote-controlled toy dogs. Many feature realistic fur for an enjoyable petting experience and make sounds and small, natural movements.
Paro is one of the most popular companion robots. It is a robotic baby harp seal (鞍背海豹) with cute black eyes and a pacifier (安抚奶嘴) that doubles as its charger. Created by Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Paro is more than a stuffed animal. The little seal is packed with five kinds of sensors: touch, light, audio, temperature and posture. Plus, Paro is super intelligent; it can learn to behave in a way that the user prefers. According to the Paro website, “If you stroke (抚摸) it every time you touch it, Paro will remember your previous action and try to repeat that action to be stroked.”
While animal-assisted therapy (疗法) and the benefits of pets have been analysed in numerous scientific studies, real animals may not always be the appropriate choice for an older adult. Animals can be a lot of work; they can spread some diseases to humans and they may not always be on their best behaviour. That is where robotic pets come into play. In a study on Paro’s effect on hospital/nursing home residents, researchers found that those who interacted with Paro were less lonely over the period of the trial.
Robot pets are becoming a common fixture in assisted living communities and as years go by, these robopets will become more advanced at copying real animal behaviours. While some believe that robot pets can’t compete with real animals, the companionship they provide to older adults cannot be denied.
28. What does the underlined word “perks” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Solutions. B. Challenges. C. Chances. D. Advantages.
29. How smart is Paro
A. It can work without electricity. B. It can touch its user.
C. It can repeat its user’s words. D. It can adapt its actions to its user.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly intended to explain
A. What researchers have found about diseases.
B. Why robotic pets are suitable for people.
C. What dangers animals can bring to humans.
D. Why hospitals apply animal-assisted therapy.
31. What is the author’s attitude to the future of robot pets
A. Disapproving. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Unclear.
D
With governments across the world supporting native languages, it may seem like people in power are finally beginning to accept linguistic diversity (语言多样性). But there’s still a long way to go.
In Mexico, for example, speakers of native languages still face challenges that Spanish speakers may not. According to Mexico News Daily, speakers of native languages in the state of Chiapas are still influenced by Castilianization practices, which serve to change these communities to mainly Spanish-speaking ones. Although Mexico is home to many native languages, like Nahuatl and Mixtec, most of these languages have become endangered because of Spanish’s predominance (主导地位).
A recent survey done by researchers at Western Kentucky University tries to explore the public’s attitudes toward native language education in the country. Although the Mexican government’s efforts to protect native languages have been far from satisfactory, it appears that the Mexican public is generally quite supportive of efforts to revitalize (使恢复生机) native languages.
87% of respondents (调查对象) to the survey said they agreed with the statement that “the presence of native people is important to Mexican culture.” The researchers also asked respondents about their thoughts on teaching native languages and English in school. Most of the respondents agreed that it was important to teach these as subjects in school, though native languages received a bit less support than English (88.4% of respondents supported teaching English in school compared to 70.8% for native languages).
The researchers noted that the Mexican government has made some efforts in recent years to support native languages, such as the National Institute of Native Languages, which provides a variety of online courses to help people learn native languages. Now, Nahuatl is one of the few languages native to Mexico that is not endangered — most of the country’s native languages have less than 100,000 native speakers.
32. What do we know about speakers of native languages in Chiapas
A. They are encouraged to speak Spanish.
B. They are treated the same as Spanish speakers.
C. They have made a challenge to Spanish’s predominance.
D. They have had great success in protecting their language.
33. What does the recent survey find about the Mexican public
A. They care little about native languages.
B. They want to keep native languages alive.
C. They think native languages are more important than English.
D. They support schools specializing in teaching native languages.
34. Why did the researchers mention the National Institute of Native Languages
A. To recognize the Mexican government’s efforts.
B. To share its creative way of protecting Nahuatl.
C. To introduce it as a language training center.
D. To stress its importance to Mexican culture.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Mixtec, one of the most spoken native languages in Mexico
B. Nahuatl, an endangered native language in Mexico
C. Mexicans support native language education
D. Mexicans are losing their native languages

One day a boy found a bird lying on the ground, squawking (叫喊) for help. Feeling sad for the bird, the boy petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, the young boy dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, the boy immediately offered to care for the bird.
The boy named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest (鸟巢) for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. The boy and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. The boy always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). The boy’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member.
In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful!
But what then The boy became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen.
