2023 Hot List: The Best New Restaurants in the World
Place des Fêtes — New York City
This famous wine bar provides a spot with a rare sweet and warm atmosphere. For date night, go to the bar with views of the open kitchen, or fill up the large table in the back with a group and taste the entire 20-item menu. Either way, do not miss the famous mushroom soup.
Le Doyenné — Saint-Vrain, France
Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly transformed the former stables (马厩) of a 19th-century private estate into a working farm, restaurant, and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture. More than one hundred varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs make their way into Henry’s cooking after being carefully nurtured by Kelly.
Mi Compa Chava — Mexico City
Seafood is a hangover cure in Mexico, and almost everyone eating here is devoted to fixing last night’s damage from drunkenness and getting a head start on creating today’s. On the sidewalk, crowds of locals and tourists alike line up for fisherman Salvador Orozco’s creative takes on Sinaloa and Baja seafood. Anything from the raw half of the menu is a sure bet, though cooked dishes like fish can help fill out a meal.
Vilas — Bangkok
Can a dish inspired by a Spanish recipe using Japanese ingredients still be considered Thai For Chef Prin Polsuk, one of Bangkok’s most famous Thai chefs, it most certainly can. At his latest restaurant, a small dining room at the base of Bangkok’s landmark King Power Mahanakhon Tower, he draws inspiration from King Chulalongkorn’s 1897 journey around Europe and the foreign ingredients (原料) and cooking techniques he added to the royal cookbooks.

As night falls on the streets of Shanghai, Mikiko Chen can often be found pacing up and down through the winding narrow streets of the city hunting for discarded items.
“I pick up all sorts of things, chairs, wine boxes, bowls and cups. . . it’s like treasure hunting for me, “she says. The 27-year-old digital marketer is among the first adopters of “stooping” in China, a practice that refers to picking up discarded furniture and other goods on the streets for re-use. She says the concept “stooping” was inspired by New Yorkers who often leave unwanted things on the “stoops” —or doorsteps—leading up to the entrances of buildings.
“The core concept of stooping for me is to make the best use of things,” Ms. Chen says. “It can help you to save money, but it’s not just about lowering consumption.” “It’s wasteful to throw away something that’s still usable; it’s better to share it with others who need it.”
Ms. Chen says she was among the first to use the hashtag (话题标签) #stooping on Xiaohongshu. “I initially started with posting items that people no longer used and wanted to throw away or exchange . . gradually I’m receiving hundreds of messages each day,” she says. Since then, the trend has become increasingly popular.
Ms. Chen says she is “very surprised” the concept has become a hit on social media, as older generations often stigmatize picking up things from the street or using second-hand goods. “People like my mum consider stooping as ‘rubbish picking’ and ‘scavenging’ (拾荒),” she says. “She thinks that people will look down on you for doing this.”
For Nan Zheng, an environmentalist and advocate, stooping is more than the physical act of picking up things from the streets. He created an app called “Grecycle” where people can give away or take unwanted items for free. “I think we can let more people know about the concept of stooping as an interesting and fun thing to do,” Mr. Nan says. “But then, gradually we can let people know this can also be about charity and helping others.”
4. What can we learn about Mikiko Chen from paragraph 2 and 3
A. She is hunting for costly treasures.
B. She just wants to reduce consumption.
C. She got inspiration from New Yorkers.
D. She intends to make the most of throwaway items.
5. Why did Mikiko Chen use the hashtag #stooping on Xiaohongshu
A. To collect varieties of messages.
B. To go viral on social media.
C. To share something still usable with others.
D. To throw away unwanted things on the “stoops”.
6. What does the underlined part in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. The older are ashamed of stooping. B. The older are skilled at stooping.
C. The older are exposed to stooping. D. The older are addicted to stooping
7. What is Nan Zheng’s true intention of creating the app “Grecycle”
A. Recycling discarded things from the streets.
B. Getting unwanted items for free on “Grecycle”.
C. Exchanging items through “Grecycle”.
D. Enhancing people’s awareness of charity.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“stooping”这一社会现象的流行及其意义。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段的句子“The 27-year-old digital marketer is among the first adopters of “stooping” in China, a practice that refers to picking up discarded furniture and other goods on the streets for re-use.（这位27岁的数字营销人员是中国首批“stooping”的实践者之一，“stooping”指的是在街上捡起废弃的家具和其他物品重新利用。）”和第第三段““The core concept of stooping for me is to make the best use of things,” Ms. Chen says. “It can help you to save money, but it’s not just about lowering consumption.” “It’s wasteful to throw away something that’s still usable; it’s better to share it with others who need it.”（“对我来说，stooping的核心理念是物尽其用，”陈说。“它可以帮你省钱，但它不仅仅是减少消费。”“扔掉还能用的东西太浪费了；最好与需要的人分享。”）”可知，Mikiko Chen是想充分利用那些被别人扔掉的物品。故选D项。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段结尾““It’s wasteful to throw away something that’s still usable; it’s better to share it with others who need it.”（“扔掉仍然可用的东西是一种浪费；最好与需要的人分享。”）”及第四段中“Ms. Chen says she was among the first to use the hashtag #stooping on Xiaohongshu. “I initially started with posting items that people no longer used and wanted to throw away or exchange . . gradually I’m receiving hundreds of messages each day,” she says.（陈女士说，她是第一批在小红书上使用#弯腰#标签的人之一。“一开始，我把人们不再使用、想扔掉或想交换的东西贴在网上。渐渐地，我每天都会收到数百条信息。”）”可知，Mikiko Chen在小红书上使用#stooping#的标签，是为了与他人分享仍然可用的东西。故选C项。
3.词句猜测题。根据划线句子后面的““People like my mum consider stooping as ‘rubbish picking’ and ‘scavenging’ (拾荒),” she says. “She thinks that people will look down on you for doing this.”（她说:“像我妈妈这样的人认为stooping是‘捡垃圾’和‘拾荒’。”“她认为人们会因为你这么做而看不起你。”）”可知，老年人觉得stooping就是捡垃圾和拾荒，而这种行为会让人瞧不起，故选A项。
4. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的句子“He created an app called “Grecycle” where people can give away or take unwanted items for free. “I think we can let more people know about the concept of stooping as an interesting and fun thing to do,” Mr. Nan says. “But then, gradually we can let people know this can also be about charity and helping others.”（他开发了一款名为“Grecycle”的应用程序，人们可以免费赠送或拿走不需要的物品。“我认为我们可以让更多的人知道弯腰是一件有趣的事情，”Nan说。“但是，渐渐地，我们可以让人们知道，这也可以是慈善和帮助他人。”）”可知，Nan Zheng创建“Grecycle”应用程序的真正意图是增强全民慈善意识。故选D项。
C
Recently, the “city walk” has been gaining steam among residents and tourists around China. On social platform Xiaohongshu, data shows that the number of city walk-related topic posts has increased by 700 percent over the past three months, and the total number of interactions has increased by more than 600 percent.
A city walk is a form of urban tourism originating in the UK. Unlike traditional sightseeing, which aims to hit famous attractions and commercial center, usually by vehicles with tense schedules, city walk is about “roaming” around a city on foot, soaking up the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city.
City walkers are a cast of people who possess intense curiosity. They are eager to engage with the city they are visiting or reside in their own way. By “roaming” on foot, city walkers can better feel the texture and listen to the breath of a place. They seek pleasure more through connection than consumption, which indicates a deep cultural curiosity. For example, in Chongqing, if you don’t take a walk, you can hardly experience the unique geographical charm of the mountainous city. Be it the hutong in Beijing or the Chinese parasol tree district in Shanghai; city walks allow people to see the scenery apart from the scene and uncover hidden knowledge.
The appeal of a city walk lies in the young generation’s changing attitude toward life — pursuing quality leisure time while being occupied with demanding workloads and limited time for exploration. While roaming along the road, you can entirely focus on yourself and listen to your inner voice and care for what you feel, which is a way to love yourself and benefit your mental health. Just like Oscar Wilde once said, “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”
8. What do the underlined words “gaining steam” in paragraph one probably mean
A. Raising concerns. B. Getting outdated. C. Causing trouble. D. Receiving popularity.
9. How does the city walk differ from traditional sightseeing
A. It pursues economical tourism.
B. It is usually well-organized and scheduled.
C. It helps promote the authentic food of the destination.
D. It focuses on feeling the local culture by connecting the city.
10. What do we know about city walkers
A. They are keen to buy souvenirs.
B. They tend to walk as much as possible.
C. They have strong curiosity about the local culture.
D. They prefer the city landscape to the natural scenery.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Why city walk changes people’s lifestyle.
B. Why the young fall in love with a city walk.
C How popular the city walk is among citizens.
D. What young people usually do during a city walk.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是最近“城市漫步”在中国各地的居民和游客中越来越流行。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词后的“On social platform Xiaohongshu, data shows that the number of city walk-related topic posts has increased by 700 percent over the past three months, and the total number of interactions has increased by more than 600 percent.(在社交平台小红书上，数据显示，在过去的三个月里，与城市漫步相关的话题帖子数量增长了700%，互动总数增长了600%以上。)”可知，城市漫步相关话题的数据在社交平台上增长了6-7倍，由此推断，城市漫步在中国居民和游客中应是很受欢迎，结合划线单词所在的句子可知，划线单词的意思与“受欢迎”意义相近。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Unlike traditional sightseeing, which aims to hit famous attractions and commercial center, usually by vehicles with tense schedules, city walk is about “roaming” around a city on foot, soaking up the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before.(与传统观光不同的是，传统观光的目的是去著名景点和商业中心，通常是乘坐交通工具，行程紧凑，而城市漫步则是在城市里徒步“漫游”，沉浸在城市的氛围中，发现一些即使是城市居民以前也可能没有注意到的不寻常的东西。)”可知，传统的旅游是乘坐交通工具去景点，而城市漫步是通过融入城市，从而沉浸在城市的氛围中，去发现一些以前没注意的东西，由此可知，城市漫步应是通过了解城市来感受当地文化。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“City walkers are a cast of people who possess intense curiosity. They are eager to engage with the city they are visiting or reside in their own way.(城市步行者是一群具有强烈好奇心的人。他们渴望以自己的方式融入他们正在游览或居住的城市。)”以及“They seek pleasure more through connection than consumption, which indicates a deep cultural curiosity.(他们更多地通过联系而不是消费来寻求快乐，这表明他们对文化有着深刻的好奇心。)”可知，城市漫步者是一群好奇心强的人，他们喜欢用自己的方式融入到游览或居住的城市，他们是通过练习来寻求快乐，表明他们对文化充满好奇心，由此可知，城市漫游者他们对当地文化有强烈的好奇心。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据尾段中的“The appeal of a city walk lies in the young generation’s changing attitude toward life — pursuing quality leisure time while being occupied with demanding workloads and limited time for exploration.(城市漫步的吸引力在于年轻一代对生活态度的转变——在被繁重的工作和有限的探索时间所占据的同时，追求高质量的休闲时间。)”可知，城市漫步之所以有吸引力是因为年轻一代对生活态度发生了转变，结合下文中的对年轻一代人对生活态度的分析以及引用Oscar Wilde的名言可知，本段主要介绍的是城市漫步受欢迎的原因。故选B项。
D

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了青少年的成长过程中的困难和挑战，并指出了青少年需要的指导和帮助。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他们（青少年）正处于弄清自己是谁、自己在这个世界上位于何地的生命阶段。分析句子结构可知，空处引导限定性定语从句，先行词stage为抽象地点名词，关系词替代先行词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这对他们来说可能是一个充满挑战的时期，但也是一个令人兴奋的成长和自我发现的时期。分析句式结构可知，此处用提示词的形容词形式challenging，修饰名词time，表示“具有挑战性的时期”。故填challenging。
【38题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：人们对青少年最大的误解之一就是认为他们懒惰、没有动力。主语为one of the biggest misunderstandings表示“最大的误解之一”，是单数，且时态为一般现在时，所以be动词用is。故填is。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：虽然有些青少年确实在积极性方面有困难可能是真的，但也有许多青少年充满激情和动力。短语have difficulty with表示“在……方面有困难”。故填with。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意：无论是在学校里表现优异，还是在课堂外追求自己的兴趣，只要给予机会和支持，青少年就有取得伟大成就的潜力。根据上文的whether可知，此处用固定搭配whether...or... 表示“是……还是……”。故填or。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：无论是在学校里表现优异，还是在课堂外追求自己的兴趣，只要给予机会和支持，青少年就有取得伟大成就的潜力。分析句子结构可知，空白处需使用非谓语动词中的动词不定式作定语，修饰potential，表示即将发生的动作，即the potential to achieve great things，表示“取得伟大成就的潜力”。故填to achieve。
【42题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：无论是在学校里表现优异，还是在课堂外追求自己的兴趣，只要给予机会和支持，青少年就有取得伟大成就的潜力。分析句子结构可知，此空应填时间状语从句中的谓语部分，时态为一般现在时态，结合语意，give和主语they之间是被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，表示当他们“被给予”机会和支持时，主语是they，be动词使用are。故填are given。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这是一个迹象，表明他们正在发展一种认同感，并学会为自己思考。根据sense可知，此处用不定冠词a构成固定搭配a sense of表示“……感”，此处是a senses of identity 表示“身份认同感”。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：青少年需要指导和界限，但他们也需要表达自己和做出自己决定的自由。根据下文“make their own decisions(做出自己的决定)”可知，此处用提示词的反身代词themselves指“他们自己”。故填themselves。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：为了更好地理解和支持青少年，承认到他们的能力和潜力是很重要的。空处与名词potential并列作动词recognize 的宾语，应用名词ability。故填ability。

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。
I found the kitten sitting on the front step of our house. He was black and white and looked quite weak. Where did he come from I noticed he had no collar around his neck. Who would be so irresponsible
I went inside and opened a can of fish. After I placed the can in the doorway, the kitten hungrily lapped it up and then walked right inside the house. Later, after jumping onto a bunch of pillows on the couch, he began to groom his hair.
I bet his last owners didn’t love him at all! I thought. If someone can’t take care of their kitten, they deserve to lose him! Our family never owned pets, but I had always wanted one. It’s a good thing I found that kitten and took him in. Thank goodness he found me!
The kitten kept meowing quite a lot. And then, it started trying to bite my hand.
“Hey, kitten! I’m not food!” I said. But the kitten tried again to bite my finger. I knew I had to get him some proper cat food. “You stay put, kitten!” I told him. “I’m going to get you food!” Then I grabbed my keys and headed out to the pet store nearest to our house.
On my way to the store, I spotted a sign on the telephone pole:
LOST KITTEN-Black and White, very friendly. If you find him, please call us.
“If you were so worried about your kitten,” I thought, “maybe you should have taken better care of him!”
When I walked into the pet store, I found that the place was packed with kids handing out flyers about the same cat to customers inside. In the back of the store, I saw a boy under 10 years old, crying in his wheelchair. “I can’t believe I lost my kitten!” he said to his parents.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
I looked at the flyers on the wall carefully this time — it was definitely the cat I had back at home!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The little boy began to cry with laughter.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
I looked at the flyers on the wall carefully this time — it was definitely the cat I had back at home! Then the truth of the situation hit me — I had stolen a little boy’s cat! I tried to justify why I should keep the kitten by convincing myself the owners deserved to lose him. Now I saw that it was all a big mistake. I approached the little boy in the wheelchair. He blew his nose and looked up at me. “I have your kitten,” I told him. “I’m sorry. I just found him and fed him. He’s at my house.”
The little boy began to cry with laughter. He held his arms out and gave me a big hug. “Thank you so much! I was just about to put a new collar on him when he ran out the door. I couldn’t chase him because of my legs ...” I then ran home to get the kitten and reunited the owner and his pet finally. I once thought for sure the kitten’s owners deserved to lose him; yet in the end, I was the one who didn’t deserve to keep the kitten.

2023 Hot List: The Best New Restaurants in the World
Place des Fêtes — New York City
This famous wine bar provides a spot with a rare sweet and warm atmosphere. For date night, go to the bar with views of the open kitchen, or fill up the large table in the back with a group and taste the entire 20-item menu. Either way, do not miss the famous mushroom soup.
Le Doyenné — Saint-Vrain, France
Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly transformed the former stables (马厩) of a 19th-century private estate into a working farm, restaurant, and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture. More than one hundred varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs make their way into Henry’s cooking after being carefully nurtured by Kelly.
Mi Compa Chava — Mexico City
Seafood is a hangover cure in Mexico, and almost everyone eating here is devoted to fixing last night’s damage from drunkenness and getting a head start on creating today’s. On the sidewalk, crowds of locals and tourists alike line up for fisherman Salvador Orozco’s creative takes on Sinaloa and Baja seafood. Anything from the raw half of the menu is a sure bet, though cooked dishes like fish can help fill out a meal.
Vilas — Bangkok
Can a dish inspired by a Spanish recipe using Japanese ingredients still be considered Thai For Chef Prin Polsuk, one of Bangkok’s most famous Thai chefs, it most certainly can. At his latest restaurant, a small dining room at the base of Bangkok’s landmark King Power Mahanakhon Tower, he draws inspiration from King Chulalongkorn’s 1897 journey around Europe and the foreign ingredients (原料) and cooking techniques he added to the royal cookbooks.
1. What does the author highly recommend at Place des Fêtes
A. Red wine. B. Fried fish. C. Baja seafood. D. Mushroom soup.

As night falls on the streets of Shanghai, Mikiko Chen can often be found pacing up and down through the winding narrow streets of the city hunting for discarded items.
“I pick up all sorts of things, chairs, wine boxes, bowls and cups. . . it’s like treasure hunting for me, “she says. The 27-year-old digital marketer is among the first adopters of “stooping” in China, a practice that refers to picking up discarded furniture and other goods on the streets for re-use. She says the concept “stooping” was inspired by New Yorkers who often leave unwanted things on the “stoops” —or doorsteps—leading up to the entrances of buildings.
“The core concept of stooping for me is to make the best use of things,” Ms. Chen says. “It can help you to save money, but it’s not just about lowering consumption.” “It’s wasteful to throw away something that’s still usable; it’s better to share it with others who need it.”
Ms. Chen says she was among the first to use the hashtag (话题标签) #stooping on Xiaohongshu. “I initially started with posting items that people no longer used and wanted to throw away or exchange . . gradually I’m receiving hundreds of messages each day,” she says. Since then, the trend has become increasingly popular.
Ms. Chen says she is “very surprised” the concept has become a hit on social media, as older generations often stigmatize picking up things from the street or using second-hand goods. “People like my mum consider stooping as ‘rubbish picking’ and ‘scavenging’ (拾荒),” she says. “She thinks that people will look down on you for doing this.”
For Nan Zheng, an environmentalist and advocate, stooping is more than the physical act of picking up things from the streets. He created an app called “Grecycle” where people can give away or take unwanted items for free. “I think we can let more people know about the concept of stooping as an interesting and fun thing to do,” Mr. Nan says. “But then, gradually we can let people know this can also be about charity and helping others.”
4. What can we learn about Mikiko Chen from paragraph 2 and 3
A. She is hunting for costly treasures.
B. She just wants to reduce consumption.
C. She got inspiration from New Yorkers.
D. She intends to make the most of throwaway items.
5. Why did Mikiko Chen use the hashtag #stooping on Xiaohongshu
A. To collect varieties of messages.
B. To go viral on social media.
C. To share something still usable with others.
D. To throw away unwanted things on the “stoops”.
6. What does the underlined part in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. The older are ashamed of stooping. B. The older are skilled at stooping.
C The older are exposed to stooping. D. The older are addicted to stooping
7. What is Nan Zheng’s true intention of creating the app “Grecycle”
A. Recycling discarded things from the streets.
B. Getting unwanted items for free on “Grecycle”.
C. Exchanging items through “Grecycle”.
D. Enhancing people’s awareness of charity.
C
Recently, the “city walk” has been gaining steam among residents and tourists around China. On social platform Xiaohongshu, data shows that the number of city walk-related topic posts has increased by 700 percent over the past three months, and the total number of interactions has increased by more than 600 percent.
A city walk is a form of urban tourism originating in the UK. Unlike traditional sightseeing, which aims to hit famous attractions and commercial center, usually by vehicles with tense schedules, city walk is about “roaming” around a city on foot, soaking up the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city.
City walkers are a cast of people who possess intense curiosity. They are eager to engage with the city they are visiting or reside in their own way. By “roaming” on foot, city walkers can better feel the texture and listen to the breath of a place. They seek pleasure more through connection than consumption, which indicates a deep cultural curiosity. For example, in Chongqing, if you don’t take a walk, you can hardly experience the unique geographical charm of the mountainous city. Be it the hutong in Beijing or the Chinese parasol tree district in Shanghai; city walks allow people to see the scenery apart from the scene and uncover hidden knowledge.
The appeal of a city walk lies in the young generation’s changing attitude toward life — pursuing quality leisure time while being occupied with demanding workloads and limited time for exploration. While roaming along the road, you can entirely focus on yourself and listen to your inner voice and care for what you feel, which is a way to love yourself and benefit your mental health. Just like Oscar Wilde once said, “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”
8. What do the underlined words “gaining steam” in paragraph one probably mean
A. Raising concerns. B. Getting outdated. C. Causing trouble. D. Receiving popularity.
9. How does the city walk differ from traditional sightseeing
A. It pursues economical tourism.
B. It is usually well-organized and scheduled.
C. It helps promote the authentic food of the destination.
D. It focuses on feeling the local culture by connecting the city.
10. What do we know about city walkers
A. They are keen to buy souvenirs.
B. They tend to walk as much as possible.
C. They have strong curiosity about the local culture.
D. They prefer the city landscape to the natural scenery.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Why city walk changes people’s lifestyle.
B. Why the young fall in love with a city walk.
C. How popular the city walk is among citizens.
D. What young people usually do during a city walk.
D

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。
I found the kitten sitting on the front step of our house. He was black and white and looked quite weak. Where did he come from I noticed he had no collar around his neck. Who would be so irresponsible
I went inside and opened a can of fish. After I placed the can in the doorway, the kitten hungrily lapped it up and then walked right inside the house. Later, after jumping onto a bunch of pillows on the couch, he began to groom his hair.
I bet his last owners didn’t love him at all! I thought. If someone can’t take care of their kitten they deserve to lose him! Our family never owned pets, but I had always wanted one. It’s a good thing I found that kitten and took him in. Thank goodness he found me!
The kitten kept meowing quite a lot. And then, it started trying to bite my hand.
“Hey, kitten! I’m not food!” I said. But the kitten tried again to bite my finger. I knew I had to get him some proper cat food. “You stay put, kitten!” I told him. “I’m going to get you food!” Then I grabbed my keys and headed out to the pet store nearest to our house.
On my way to the store, I spotted a sign on the telephone pole:
LOST KITTEN-Black and White, very friendly. If you find him, please call us.
“If you were so worried about your kitten,” I thought, “maybe you should have taken better care of him!”
When I walked into the pet store, I found that the place was packed with kids handing out flyers about the same cat to customers inside. In the back of the store, I saw a boy under 10 years old, crying in his wheelchair. “I can’t believe I lost my kitten!” he said to his parents.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
I looked at the flyers on the wall carefully this time — it was definitely the cat I had back at home!

The little boy began to cry with laughter.
