At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs Smith, the doctor said I have attention disorder. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.”
I tried, but I didn’t finish the writing when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, a story suddenly became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he created a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: See what you can do when you keep trying.
4. Why was the author unable to finish the task in class
A. He had attention problems. B. He had difficulty in reading.
C. He failed to understand the task. D. He wanted to take the task home.
5. What do we know about Louis Braille from the text
A. He was good at writing. B. He taught himself literature.
C. He suffered from attention disorder. D. He created a system to help the blind study.
6. What helped the author finish his paper
A His parents’ help. B. Mrs Smith’s words.
C. Louis Braille’s story. D. His classmates’ encouragement.
7. What did Mrs Smith’s words in the last paragraph mean
A. The disabled should be treated with respect.
B. Everyone needs a hand when faced with trouble.
C. Teachers can help open up a new world to students.
D. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者有注意力障碍，不能集中精力于所做的事情。作者想放弃时，受路易斯 布莱叶的故事的激励，他克服了困难，很好地完成了作业并得到了老师的认可。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第1段“At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.( 13岁时，我被诊断出患有一种注意力障碍。这让我上学很困难。当班上其他人都在专注于任务时，我却不能。)”和第2段第2句“I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs Smith, the doctor said I have attention disorder.( 我马上举起手说:“史密斯太太，医生说我有注意力障碍。)”可知，作者有注意力障碍，这使得他很难专注地做事情。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第3段最后一句“But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he created a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.( 但是路易斯没有放弃。相反，他创造了一个凸起点的阅读系统，为盲人打开了一个全新的知识世界。)”可知，路易斯 布莱叶是个盲人，他发明了盲文，帮助盲人更好地学习，获取更多的知识。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第3段前两句“I tried, but I didn’t finish the writing when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, a story suddenly became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille.( 我试过了，但是铃响的时候我没写完。我不得不把它带回家。在寂静的卧室里，我突然明白了一个故事。是关于一个叫路易斯·布莱叶的盲人的。)”和第4段前两句“Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.( 我不就是班上的“盲人”，被逼得像“视力正常”的学生一样学习吗 我的思绪奔涌而出，我的笔开始起舞。)”可知，想到路易斯 布莱叶和他的故事，作者就思如泉涌，顺利地完成了作业。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。一开始作者认为自己不可能完成老师布置的任务，但是经过努力，他的作业得了“A”，老师还给作者写了一句话:不断努力，你就会有所收获。由此推知，“一个人可以通过努力找到战胜困难的方法”这句话与史密斯老师的话意思相同。故选D。
C
Physical education, or gym class, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education The answer is certainly “yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity(肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. Physical education classes act as a public health measure to encourage activity and help teens have healthy weights.
Inactivity(不活跃) increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes towardtreating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic(学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study,did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.
8. According to Paragraph 2, what role does physical education play in high school
A. Helping teens learn to make good plans.
B. Relieving the stress faced by teens at school.
C. Making teens pay more attention to exercise later.
D. Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.
9. What can we infer from the passage
A. Most high school students are harmed by stress.
B. American teens get 60 minutes’ exercise per day to control weight.
C. Video games help many teens to get required exercise.
D. Doing sports can help the students live a happier life at school.
10. What does the underlined word “hindered” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Prevented.
B. Measured.
C. Worsened.
D. Caused.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. How high school students can live a happier life.
B. How schools can help students love doing sports.
C. Why some schools consider physical education important.
D. Why high school students should receive physical education.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要是讲为什么高中生应该接受体育教育。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.(教导青少年健康生活方式的重要性，现在就制定健身计划，可以帮助青少年在成年后把锻炼放在首位)”可知，体育教育在高中的作用是让青少年日后重视锻炼。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.(做运动可以帮助他们更好地应对压力，帮他们读过更开心的校园生活)”可知，做运动可以帮助学生在学校过得更开心。故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段中“An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems.(积极的生活方式是预防这些健康问题的好方法) ”可知，此处是指改变生活方式可以预防疾病，所以hindered意为“预防”。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段最后两句“But should high school students have physical education The answer is certainly ‘yes’.(但是高中生应该上体育课吗？答案当然是肯定的)”可知，文章主要是讲为什么高中生应该接受体育教育。故选D。
D
Can you imagine a world without music Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Even worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students’ academic growth and spiritual health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.
Recent studies Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students’ academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.
Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student’s sense of pride and self-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and choices about smoke and alcohol. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to smoke. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.
Music crosses language, class and culture. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet with an American classmate. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music.
The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.
12. What can we learn about education with music classes
A. It allows schools to make more money.
B. It can cause a lot of academic problems.
C. It will affect the world cultural communication greatly.
D. It does good to students’ academic success and spiritual health.
13. What do the two studies seem to show
A. Students with great success attend music lessons.
B. Music classes play an important role in students’ academic performance.
C. Not all students could have music classes at school.
D. Students who have music classes do better in all subjects.
14. What does the example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggest
A. Japan has a good relationship with America.
B. Different cultures have different styles of music.
C. Music makes cross-cultural communication possible.
D. Japanese and American students are good at playing the piano.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Importance of Music Classes in School B. Music—A Bridge to Understanding
C. Studies on Music Education D. How to Get Music Back
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了研究表明，全国各地的公立学校正在削减音乐课，以节省开支。但学生的学业成绩似乎取决于他们是否参加音乐教育；音乐课程也有助于增强学生的自豪感和自信心，音乐跨越语言、阶级和文化。音乐使来自不同国家的学生相互联系。作者提出需要确保所有学生都参加必要的音乐课。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Students’ academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.(学生的学业成功似乎取决于他们是否参与音乐教育)”以及第三段中“Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student’s sense of pride and self-confidence.(公立学校的音乐课程也有助于增加学生的自豪感和自信心)”可推知，音乐课对学生的学业成功和精神健康有益。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Recent studies Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students’ academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.(布朗大学最近的研究表明，接受音乐教育课程的学生在数学和阅读技能方面比没有上音乐课程的学生要好。大学委员会的另一项研究发现，上音乐和艺术课的学生得分更高。学生的学业成功似乎取决于他们是否参与音乐教育)”可知，这两项研究表明音乐课对学生的成长起着重要的作用。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Music crosses language, class and culture. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet with an American classmate. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music.(音乐跨越语言、阶级和文化。音乐让来自不同国家的学生相互联系。例如，在学校的才艺表演中，一位日本新生和一位美国同学表演了钢琴二重奏。来自不同文化背景的两名学生通过音乐，以自信和共同的目标组成了一个团队)”可推知，第四段的例子主要说明了音乐使跨文化交流成为可能。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Can you imagine a world without music Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Even worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students’ academic growth and spiritual health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.(你能想象一个没有音乐的世界吗？研究表明，全国各地的公立学校都在削减音乐课以节省资金。更糟糕的是，一些学校一开始就没有音乐课。但如果没有它们，学生的学业成长和精神健康可能会受到影响。事实上，音乐课对学校里的所有学生都是必要的)”结合文章主要论述了研究表明，全国各地的公立学校正在削减音乐课，以节省开支。但学生的学业成绩似乎取决于他们是否参加音乐教育；音乐课程也有助于增强学生的自豪感和自信心，音乐跨越语言、阶级和文化。音乐使来自不同国家的学生相互联系。作者提出需要确保所有学生都参加必要的音乐课。故选项A“音乐课在学校的重要性”最符合文章标题。故选A。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是亚当对高中生活所感到的困惑和他人对他的帮助。
【36题详解】
考查动名词。句意：从初中升入高中对他来说是一个很大的挑战。分析可知，空格处用动名词作主语，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Going。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：从初中升入高中对他来说是一个很大的挑战。challenge意为“挑战”，是可数名词，此处表泛指，因此前面加不定冠词，really是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：所以他一开始感到有点困惑。felt后用形容词作表语，修饰主语he用ed形容词，即confused，意为“困惑的”，故填confused。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：幸运的是，他的导师帮助了他，建议他报考高级文学专业。空格处用副词修饰整个句子，作状语，lucky的副词是luckily，意为“幸运的是”，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Luckily。
【40题详解】
考查虚拟语气。句意：幸运是，他的导师帮助了他，建议他报考高级文学专业。recommend意为“推荐”，其后的that从句中用“sb. should do sth.”的虚拟语气，其中should可省略，因此空格处是should sign/sign，故填should sign/sign。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：令他失望的是，当他想加入学校足球队时，教练拒绝了他。his后跟名词，作宾语，disappoint的名词是disappointment，意为“失望”，是不可数名词，故填disappointment。
【42题详解】
考查不定式。句意：他将自己找到一个改进的方法，这样他明年就可以加入这个队了。way后用不定式作后置定语，因此空格处是不定式to improve，故填to improve。
【43题详解】
考查比较级。句意：他知道，作为一名高中生，他必须更加努力地学习，并习惯承担更多的责任。much修饰形容词的比较级，因此空格处是比较级，即harder，故填harder。
【44题详解】
考查固定短语和介词。句意：他知道，作为一名高中生，他必须更加努力地学习，并习惯承担更多的责任。be responsible for是固定短语，意为“对......负责”，空格处是介词for，故填for。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：他将为上大学或将来的任何事情做好充分准备。由He’ll可知，句子是一般将来时，come是表位移的动词，应用一般现在时表将来，因此空格处时态是一般现在时，主语whatever是单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数comes，故填comes。

【答案】Dear Tom,
I’m so glad to hear from you. Recently we’ve had a class meeting to discuss whether it is necessary for middle school students to carry mobile phones to school.
Some of the students think that it is more convenient for them to keep in touch with their parents and friends if they have a mobile phone. And what’s more, it’s a fashion.
However, others think that middle school students are not old enough to control themselves. It is a waste of time for students to play games and send messages to each other by mobile phone. And it’s easy to cause the students to vie with each other. If necessary, they can make phone calls by using public phones on the campus.
In my opinion, as middle school students we should put all of our heart into our studies though following the fashion is understandable. What do you think of it
With best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Boys like to be considered to be brave, but what kind of things can be considered to be brave It is not a question that can be answered by words, but by the actual deed. A boy with the name Henry gave us a good example. Ronny and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day as Ronny and Henry were going home after school, they saw some people fighting in the street corner. Ronny said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let’s go and have a look!” But Henry refused, “It’s none of our business. We’d better go home and don’t get close to them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Ronny, and off he ran to the spot with some other boys. Henry had to go home alone and didn't think about it anymore.
But Ronny thought Henry was a coward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Ronny for his rude behavior, because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as well. However, Ronny didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had his new friends who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had lots of fun.
注意：
1. 所续写的短文词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为二段，每段的开头语已经为你写好；
Paragraph 1:
A few days later, something terrible happened to Ronny.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
At that moment, Henry happened to pass by.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible Version
A few days later, something terrible happened to Ronny. That afternoon after school, Ronny was bathing with some of his new friends in the river happily. Suddenly, he was stuck in the mud and couldn’t get out. He struggled hard but he was still trapped. He screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could. They were so scared and did not even try to help him.
At that moment, Henry happened to pass by. He heard the screams and ran to the river as soon as possible. Seeing Ronny was almost drowned, Henry took off his clothes immediately and jumped into the water without any hesitation. He reached Ronny just as he was sinking the last time. With great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Ronny to the shore in time. Henry was happy to help his friend, though he was extremely tired.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章中的男孩亨利因为没有和朋友罗尼一起去凑热闹看别人打架，而被罗尼叫做懦夫并且受到了排挤，但亨利知道真正的勇气体现在容忍不该容忍的误解，罗尼的新朋友们也都觉得亨利是个懦夫。几天后，罗尼和新朋友们在河里洗澡时，不小心陷在泥里，他的新朋友们没有帮助他，而亨利在路过时听到了求救声后用尽他的力气帮助了罗尼。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“几天后，在罗尼身上发生了可怕的事情”可知，第一段可描写罗尼遇到的可怕事情，同时承接上文中罗尼交往了一些新朋友的剧情，描写罗尼的新朋友在他遇到可怕事情时候的反应，如新朋友们看到罗尼陷入困境时一个个都赶紧离开。
②由第二段首句内容“就在那时，亨利碰巧经过。”可知，第二段可描写亨利在看到罗尼遭到不好事情时的反应。前文提到罗尼嘲笑亨利是个懦夫，但在这一段可描写亨利的勇敢救人的行为，以形成情节上的转折。
2.续写线索：罗尼陷入困境——朋友逃离现场——亨利及时出手相助——帮助罗尼非常高兴
3.词汇激活

①困住；陷入：be stuck in/ be trapped in/ get stuck

At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs Smith, the doctor said I have attention disorder. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.”
I tried, but I didn’t finish the writing when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, a story suddenly became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he created a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: See what you can do when you keep trying.
4. Why was the author unable to finish the task in class
A. He had attention problems. B. He had difficulty in reading.
C. He failed to understand the task. D. He wanted to take the task home.
5. What do we know about Louis Braille from the text
A. He was good at writing. B. He taught himself literature.
C. He suffered from attention disorder. D. He created a system to help the blind study.
6. What helped the author finish his paper
A. His parents’ help. B. Mrs Smith’s words.
C. Louis Braille’s story. D. His classmates’ encouragement.
7. What did Mrs Smith’s words in the last paragraph mean
A. The disabled should be treated with respect.
B. Everyone needs a hand when faced with trouble.
C. Teachers can help open up a new world to students.
D. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.
C
Physical education, or gym class, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education The answer is certainly “yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity(肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. Physical education classes act as a public health measure to encourage activity and help teens have healthy weights.
Inactivity(不活跃) increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes towardtreating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic(学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study,did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.
8. According to Paragraph 2, what role does physical education play in high school
A. Helping teens learn to make good plans.
B. Relieving the stress faced by teens at school.
C. Making teens pay more attention to exercise later.
D. Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.
9. What can we infer from the passage
A. Most high school students are harmed by stress.
B. American teens get 60 minutes’ exercise per day to control weight.
C. Video games help many teens to get required exercise.
D. Doing sports can help the students live a happier life at school.
10. What does the underlined word “hindered” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Prevented.
B. Measured.
C. Worsened.
D. Caused.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. How high school students can live a happier life.
B. How schools can help students love doing sports.
C. Why some schools consider physical education important.
D. Why high school students should receive physical education.
D
Can you imagine a world without music Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Even worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students’ academic growth and spiritual health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.
Recent studies Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students’ academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.
Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student’s sense of pride and self-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and choices about smoke and alcohol. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to smoke. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Boys like to be considered to be brave, but what kind of things can be considered to be brave It is not a question that can be answered by words, but by the actual deed. A boy with the name Henry gave us a good example. Ronny and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day as Ronny and Henry were going home after school, they saw some people fighting in the street corner. Ronny said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let’s go and have a look!” But Henry refused, “It’s none of our business. We’d better go home and don’t get close to them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Ronny, and off he ran to the spot with some other boys. Henry had to go home alone and didn't think about it anymore.
But Ronny thought Henry was a coward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Ronny for his rude behavior, because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as well. However, Ronny didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had his new friends who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had lots of fun.
注意：
1. 所续写的短文词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为二段，每段的开头语已经为你写好；
Paragraph 1:
A few days later, something terrible happened to Ronny.
