It was early winter several years ago. I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape although it was looking dirty from so many winters’ wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift.
I put the old one in my closet and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me. It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days. After a few weeks, I took it out and drove to a local charity shop. I knew that there was someone who couldn’t afford a coat but could get my old one.
My new coat is my old coat now. It is getting a little dirty and worn, too. It has black marks on the sleeves. It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon, but I think I will wait for a while. I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover,” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have.
4. Which word can best describe the author’s daughter
A. Thoughtful. B. Wealthy. C. Easy-going. D. Hard-working.
5. Why was the author in shame when seeing his old coat in the closet
A. It cost too much.
B. It was looking dirty.
C. It was not sent to someone in need.
D. There was not enough room for his new coat.
6. What is the author’s decision after his second coat becomes old
A. Telling his daughter. B. Buying a new one soon.
C. Sending something else to charity. D. Donating it to charity.
7. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph
A. Love is the key to joy.
B. Giving fills our wants.
C. The more you give, the more you lose.
D. A coat is large enough to cover our wants
C
When it comes to technology adults won’t be able to keep up with their children. It took radio 38 years to reach 50 million people, but it took only 20 years for the phone to reach the same number, and 13 years for the television. However, it took Facebook 3.6 years and Twitter only needed 88 days. Over the last 15 years, digital communication has brought in more changes than the printing press did in 1570. And those most likely to use them in this world are teenagers, whose brains appear to have a great ability to adapt to the world around them, according to Dr. Jay Giedd, a brain expert.
We are now discovering that our brains during the teenage years are still flexible (灵活的). Having a more flexible brain means that certain functions of it , such as the ability to make long-term decisions, haven’t developed yet, which may also explain why we spend a long period living under the protection of our parents rather than leaving home at the age of 12 or 13. This also means that the teenage brain can adapt to new technology, allowing teenagers to keep up with the increasing pace (速度) of digital technology, giving them an advantage when doing different tasks.
As they look at these screens, they’re dealing with information. There are concerns about how social media is affecting the way in which the brain learns to socialize. Giedd says that a lot of what goes on inside our brains is social. Social interactions are being changed by technology - you could have hundreds of friends, all of whom are real people that you interact with and scientists aren’t sure whether we’ll be able to develop the same skills using social media.
There is an advantage to the growing digital trend (趋势)：YouTube shows that teenagers all over the world are watching the same things and laughing at the same jokes, showing that they are more global-minded than teenagers in the past. They are more open to other cultures, other countries, and other people.
8. How many years did it take for television to reach 50 million people
A. 38 years. B. 20 years. C. 15 years. D. 13 years.
9. What does the underlined word “ This ” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Teenagers’ brains are flexible.
B. Teenagers are protected by their parents.
C. Teenagers are good at doing different tasks.
D. Teenagers’ abilities to make decisions haven’t developed.
10. What does the trend of using YouTube show
A. Teenagers prefer to socialize online.
B. Teenagers spend much time on social media.
C. Teenagers are now more open-minded than those in the past.
D. Teenagers are more likely to be attracted by the Internet than grown-ups.
11. What may be the best title for the text
A. Concerns about social media influence B. Teenage brains in the digital world
C. Teenager-related technologies D. Development of teenage brains
D
Known as “soft gold”, Gambiered Canton Gauze(香云纱) is the perfect silk fabric(布料) for cheongsam(旗袍). It feels smooth and comfortable, easy to wash and dry, and is also good for people’s health.
Today, Gambiered Canton Gauze is the only silk fabric in the world that’s still hand-dyed (手工染) and using natural plants. It gets its color from shuliang, a yam (薯蓣) plant growing in Shunde, Guangdong, which can help fight against bacteria (细菌) and bad smells.
The skill of dyeing Gambiered Canton Gauze has a long-lasting history of more than 500 years. In 2008, it was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家非物质文化遗产).
Mr. Ouyang is an inheritor (继承人) of the Gambiered Canton Gauze dyeing technique. He started learning the technique in 2017.
The dyeing process includes 30 steps. It can take up to six months and is done by hand with materials from nature.“ The plant shuliang, river mud, sunshine and grass all play key roles in dyeing,” Mr. Ouyang said.
To dye the fabric, workers put it in shuliang juice and let it dry on the grass. They repeat this many times until it turns brownish-yellow. Then, they put river mud on it to help shuliang react fully. After washing and drying again, the fabric turns black!
Mastering the technique is a tricky (棘手的) task, according to Mr. Ouyang, who said the most challenging part is controlling the density (浓度) of shuliang juice. “ Too much may cause color loss, and too little may not lead to a dark enough fabric,” he said. “Better control of density comes after many failures.”
Passing on the craft is also challenging. The job can be exhausting as workers have to be at work under the sun for eight hours each day. Therefore, only a few people work in the industry, and skilled masters are getting older as fewer young people take part.
Considering this, Mr. Ouyang has worked harder to develop the traditional craft by combining other dyeing techniques such as tie-dye (扎染) and batik (蜡染) and cooperating with famous fashion designers. They are turning the silk into both traditional and fashionable clothes that are popular worldwide. In this way, according to Mr. Ouyang, the craft can stay alive and even draw more people to join the industry.
12. What can we learn about Gambiered Canton Gauze from the passage
A. It is hand-dyed using natural plants.
B. It feels comfortable, but is not easy to wash.
C. The art of gauze-dyeing has a history of 1,000 years.
D. It is the perfect material for bedding items.
13. According to Mr. Ouyang, what is the most challenging part in the dyeing process
A. Washing the fabric by hand. B. Drying the fabric on the grass.
C. Putting river mud on the fabric. D. Controlling the density of shuliang juice.
14. What does Paragraph 8 mainly talk about
A. The challenges of working with silk.
B. The importance of skilled workers.
C. The challenges of passing on the craft.
D. The reasons why this job is important.
15. How is Mr. Ouyang working to develop the traditional craft
A. By promoting the traditional craft abroad.
B. By working with famous fashion designers.
C. By making the dyeing process shorter.
D. By combining modern technology with dyeing skills.

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小)to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing,but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)!Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion.
Going on singing,she walked into the park,where many people were singing and dancing.高一年级英语月考试卷

It was early winter several years ago. I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape although it was looking dirty from so many winters’ wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift.
I put the old one in my closet and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me. It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days. After a few weeks, I took it out and drove to a local charity shop. I knew that there was someone who couldn’t afford a coat but could get my old one.
My new coat is my old coat now. It is getting a little dirty and worn too. It has black marks on the sleeves. It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon, but I think I will wait for a while. I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover,” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have.

A. Thoughtful. B. Wealthy. C. Easy-going. D. Hard-working.
5. Why was the author in shame when seeing his old coat in the closet
A. It cost too much.
B. It was looking dirty.
C. It was not sent to someone in need.
D. There was not enough room for his new coat.
6. What is the author’s decision after his second coat becomes old

7. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者分享了自己处理两件穿旧了的冬季外套的经历，表达了自己对于处理欲望的感悟：真正填满欲望的不是索取而是给予，一个人给予的越多，拥有的也就越多。
4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift.(我并不是真的需要一件新的，但我想要一件，有一天我不经意地向女儿提起了这件事。她是一个如此亲切、和善的女孩，我应该猜到接下来会发生什么。几个星期后，她送给我一件新的冬季外套作为礼物)”可知，作者的女儿在他不经意地提到想要一件冬季外套后，很快就给他送了一件作为礼物。由此可知，女儿是体贴的。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me. It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days.(然而，每天当我打开衣柜的时候，总有一些事情困扰着我。在寒冷的冬天，我那件旧的但仍然很好的外套就这么坐在那里，没有给任何人保暖，这似乎是一种遗憾)”结合下文作者把旧衣服捐到慈善机构可知，作者看到旧外套感到遗憾，是因为自己没把这件衣服送去帮助有需要的人。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity.(它的状况太糟糕了，甚至无法捐赠给慈善机构)”和“I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead.(我真的不需要新的，也许我可以找点别的东西捐给慈善商店)”可知，第二件旧外套糟糕到无法捐赠，于是作者决定找别的物品送往慈善机构。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover,” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have.(拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生曾经说过：“欲望是一个成长中的巨人，‘拥有’的外套永远不足以覆盖它。”也许对付我们的欲望最好的办法就是给予。毕竟，爱给我们带来了最大的快乐。你付出的越多，你拥有的也就越多)”可知，作者引用了爱默生的名言，阐明人的欲望是无法通过拥有被完全满足的，并强调应用给予、爱和付出去对付欲望。由此可知，作者想说的是能真正填满欲望的不是索取而是给予。故选B项。
C
When it comes to technology, adults won’t be able to keep up with their children. It took radio 38 years to reach 50 million people, but it took only 20 years for the phone to reach the same number, and 13 years for the television. However, it took Facebook 3.6 years and Twitter only needed 88 days. Over the last 15 years, digital communication has brought in more changes than the printing press did in 1570. And those most likely to use them in this world are teenagers, whose brains appear to have a great ability to adapt to the world around them, according to Dr. Jay Giedd, a brain expert.
We are now discovering that our brains during the teenage years are still flexible (灵活的). Having a more flexible brain means that certain functions of it , such as the ability to make long-term decisions, haven’t developed yet, which may also explain why we spend a long period living under the protection of our parents rather than leaving home at the age of 12 or 13. This also means that the teenage brain can adapt to new technology, allowing teenagers to keep up with the increasing pace (速度) of digital technology, giving them an advantage when doing different tasks.
As they look at these screens, they’re dealing with information. There are concerns about how social media is affecting the way in which the brain learns to socialize. Giedd says that a lot of what goes on inside our brains is social. Social interactions are being changed by technology - you could have hundreds of friends, all of whom are real people that you interact with and scientists aren’t sure whether we’ll be able to develop the same skills using social media.
There is an advantage to the growing digital trend (趋势)：YouTube shows that teenagers all over the world are watching the same things and laughing at the same jokes, showing that they are more global-minded than teenagers in the past. They are more open to other cultures, other countries, and other people.
8. How many years did it take for television to reach 50 million people
A. 38 years. B. 20 years. C. 15 years. D. 13 years.
9. What does the underlined word “ This ” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Teenagers’ brains are flexible.
B. Teenagers are protected by their parents.
C. Teenagers are good at doing different tasks.
D. Teenagers’ abilities to make decisions haven’t developed.
10. What does the trend of using YouTube show
A. Teenagers prefer to socialize online.
B. Teenagers spend much time on social media.
C. Teenagers are now more open-minded than those in the past.
D. Teenagers are more likely to be attracted by the Internet than grown-ups.
11. What may be the best title for the text
A. Concerns about social media influence B. Teenage brains in the digital world
C. Teenager-related technologies D. Development of teenage brains
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了青少年拥有灵活的大脑，比成年人更能适应日新月异的科技时代。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It took radio 38 years to reach 50 million people, but it took only 20 years for the phone to reach the same number, and 13 years for the television.(广播用了38年的时间才达到5000万人，但电话只用了20年就达到了同样的数字，电视用了13年)”可知，电视只用了13年就覆盖了5000万人。故选D项。
9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Having a more flexible brain means that certain functions of it , such as the ability to make long-term decisions, haven’t developed yet, which may also explain why we spend a long period living under the protection of our parents rather than leaving home at the age of 12 or 13. This also means that the teenage brain can adapt to new technology, allowing teenagers to keep up with the increasing pace (速度) of digital technology, giving them an advantage when doing different tasks.(拥有一个更灵活的大脑意味着它的某些功能，例如做出长期决策的能力，还没有发展起来，这也可以解释为什么我们在12岁或13岁时会在父母的保护下度过很长一段时间，而不是离开家。这也意味着青少年的大脑可以适应新技术，使青少年能够跟上数字技术的发展步伐，从而在完成不同任务时占据优势)”可知，拥有更灵活的大脑意味着某些功能还没发展起来，也意味着青少年的大脑可以适应新技术，划线单词this指代的是上文的Having a more flexible brain，即青少年的大脑是灵活的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“YouTube shows that teenagers all over the world are watching the same things and laughing at the same jokes, showing that they are more global-minded than teenagers in the past. They are more open to other cultures, other countries, and other people.(YouTube显示，全世界青少年都在看同样的东西，笑同样的笑话，这表明他们比过去的青少年更具全球意识。他们对其他文化、其他国家和其他人更加开放)”可知，使用YouTube的趋势说明现在的青少年比过去的人思想更开放。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“And those most likely to use them in this world are teenagers, whose brains appear to have a great ability to adapt to the world around them, according to Dr. Jay Giedd, a brain expert.(大脑专家Jay Giedd博士表示，在这个世界上，最有可能使用它们的是青少年，他们的大脑似乎有很强的能力适应周围的世界)”以及第二段“This also means that the teenage brain can adapt to new technology, allowing teenagers to keep up with the increasing pace (速度) of digital technology, giving them an advantage when doing different tasks.(这也意味着青少年的大脑可以适应新技术，使青少年能够跟上数字技术的发展步伐，从而在完成不同任务时占据优势)”可知，本文主要介绍了青少年拥有灵活的大脑，比成年人更能适应日新月异的科技时代，所以“数字世界中的青少年大脑”适合作为文章标题。故选B项。
D
Known as “soft gold”, Gambiered Canton Gauze(香云纱) is the perfect silk fabric(布料) for cheongsam(旗袍). It feels smooth and comfortable, easy to wash and dry, and is also good for people’s health.
Today, Gambiered Canton Gauze is the only silk fabric in the world that’s still hand-dyed (手工染) and using natural plants. It gets its color from shuliang, a yam (薯蓣) plant growing in Shunde, Guangdong, which can help fight against bacteria (细菌) and bad smells.
The skill of dyeing Gambiered Canton Gauze has a long-lasting history of more than 500 years. In 2008, it was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家非物质文化遗产).
Mr. Ouyang is an inheritor (继承人) of the Gambiered Canton Gauze dyeing technique. He started learning the technique in 2017.
The dyeing process includes 30 steps. It can take up to six months and is done by hand with materials from nature.“ The plant shuliang, river mud, sunshine and grass all play key roles in dyeing,” Mr. Ouyang said.
To dye the fabric, workers put it in shuliang juice and let it dry on the grass. They repeat this many times until it turns brownish-yellow. Then, they put river mud on it to help shuliang react fully. After washing and drying again, the fabric turns black!
Mastering the technique is a tricky (棘手的) task, according to Mr. Ouyang, who said the most challenging part is controlling the density (浓度) of shuliang juice. “ Too much may cause color loss, and too little may not lead to a dark enough fabric,” he said. “Better control of density comes after many failures.”
Passing on the craft is also challenging. The job can be exhausting as workers have to be at work under the sun for eight hours each day. Therefore, only a few people work in the industry, and skilled masters are getting older as fewer young people take part.
Considering this, Mr. Ouyang has worked harder to develop the traditional craft by combining other dyeing techniques such as tie-dye (扎染) and batik (蜡染) and cooperating with famous fashion designers. They are turning the silk into both traditional and fashionable clothes that are popular worldwide. In this way, according to Mr. Ouyang, the craft can stay alive and even draw more people to join the industry.
12. What can we learn about Gambiered Canton Gauze from the passage
A. It is hand-dyed using natural plants.
B. It feels comfortable, but is not easy to wash.
C. The art of gauze-dyeing has a history of 1,000 years.
D. It is the perfect material for bedding items.
13. According to Mr. Ouyang, what is the most challenging part in the dyeing process
A. Washing the fabric by hand. B. Drying the fabric on the grass.
C. Putting river mud on the fabric. D. Controlling the density of shuliang juice.
14. What does Paragraph 8 mainly talk about
A. The challenges of working with silk.
B. The importance of skilled workers.
C. The challenges of passing on the craft.
D. The reasons why this job is important.
15. How is Mr. Ouyang working to develop the traditional craft
A. By promoting the traditional craft abroad.
B. By working with famous fashion designers.
C. By making the dyeing process shorter.
D. By combining modern technology with dyeing skills.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了香云纱这种丝绸面料的特点、染色工艺、历史背景以及传承挑战等方面，并详细说明了其制作过程和相关技术。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Today, Gambiered Canton Gauze is the only silk fabric in the world that’s still hand-dyed (手工染) and using natural plants.(如今，香云纱是世界上唯一一种仍然采用手工染色和天然植物染色的丝绸面料。)”可知，香云纱是世界上唯一一种仍然采用手工染色和天然植物染色的丝绸面料。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第七段“Mastering the technique is a tricky (棘手的) task, according to Mr. Ouyang, who said the most challenging part is controlling the density(浓度)of shuliang juice.(欧阳先生说，掌握这项技术是一项棘手的任务，他说最具挑战性的部分是控制薯莨汁的浓度。)”可知，欧阳先生认为最具挑战性的部分是控制薯莨汁的浓度。故选D。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第八段“Passing on the craft is also challenging. The job can be exhausting as workers have to be at work under the sun for eight hours each day. Therefore, only a few people work in the industry, and skilled masters are getting older as fewer young people take part.(传承这门技艺也是一项挑战。由于工人每天需要在太阳下工作8小时，所以这是一项耗力的工作。因此，只有少数人从事这个行业，而技术娴熟的师傅也随着年轻一代的减少而逐渐老龄化。)”可知，第八段主要讲述的是这项技术的传承面临着挑战。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Considering this, Mr. Ouyang has worked harder to develop the traditional craft by combining other dyeing techniques such as tie-dye(扎染)and batik(蜡染)and cooperating with famous fashion designers. They are turning the silk into both traditional and fashionable clothes that are popular worldwide.(考虑到这一点，欧阳先生更加努力地将扎染、蜡染等其他染色技术结合起来，并与著名时装设计师合作，发展传统工艺。他们正在把丝绸变成传统和时尚的服装，在世界范围内流行。)”可知，为了发展传统工艺，欧阳先生通过与著名时装设计师合作，努力让这门古老的技艺焕发新的活力。故选B。

考查让步状语从句。句意：它团结了整个民族，无论发生什么样的灾难，我们都将为国家的未来而共同奋斗。and后为“no matter+疑问词”引导的让步状语从句，因为空后为名词，所以用what，作定语，no matter what kind of disaster comes表示“无论发生什么样的灾难”。故填what。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：今天，很多年轻人对传统文化失去信心，对西方文化着迷。be crazy about是固定短语，意为“对……着迷”。故填about。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他们跟随西方的时尚，认为我们是老式的。本句谓语为follow，此处应用非谓语动词，且They与think“认为”为主动关系，应用现在分词，作状语。故填thinking。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：但是有一天，他们会意识到忽视传统文化是错误的。动词realize意为“意识到”。根据上文some day可知，句子时态用一般将来时。故填will realize。

Loving Parcels
In order to help students affected by earthquake, our school held a “Love Package” donation activity last Saturday in the school hall.
All of the teachers and students took an active part in the activity. They donated food, clothing, and medical supplies, and all of them were badly needed. In addition, they also wrote their best wishes to these students on the cards, which would be collected and also delivered to schools that were affected by the earthquake.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的)to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing,but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)!Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
