Seven Bays Rock Climbing Gym is a 6,000-square-foot gym on Gothelm Street that hosts a 200-foot -long climbing wall and a cafe, where you can relax before or after climbing, or simply sit and watch your friends go for it.
Rock Climbing is also about the people you meet, as much as the climbing itself. Our gym is the perfect place for climbers to meet and share experiences.

Probably one of the best things the gym offers is weekend trips for many experienced climbers. You can get out and try a real rock face at the cost of 150 pounds. We arrange hotel accommodation for overnight and it’s free of charge. It’s a lot of fun. It’s a great way to meet people, strengthen your body and become part of the rock climbing community.

I hesitated when my friend suggested that we join the school’s new Tai Chi club. I used to think that tai chi was for the elderly. However, the first class changed my previous understanding of tai chi. A year later, I can say that tai chi has had a huge impact on me.
The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves with descriptive names really caught my imagination, like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg.” When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird. However, nowadays people tend to believe that Chen Wangting, a 17th-century master of Chinese martial arts, developed tai chi based on martial arts skills.
After the first few basic tai chi lessons, I found myself bored and aching from doing the same slow moves over and over again. Fortunately, my coach taught me how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind during ever, day practice. With these requirements of tai chi in mind, I found to my satisfaction that my balance and flexibility slowly improved, that I was able to do more difficult moves, and that my love for tai chi returned stronger than ever.
Meanwhile, I started to explore the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi. I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, which are believed to form the the unity of opposite. Neither can exist independent of the other. The practice of tai chi aims to keep the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right, breathing in and breathing out. Ultimately, tai chi brings about a state of physical balance and mental peace.
The experience of a year of tai chi has affected my everyday life positively. I sleep more soundly at night, and feel more energetic during the day. I feel happier and more confident. Tai chi has taught me to relax my mind, enabling me to stay calm in stressful situations. I am sure I will continue to practise tai chi and enjoy the benefits it has brought me.
4. Why did the author join the Tai Chi Club
A. Because of his friend’s advice. B. Because of his interest in it.
C. Because of the school’s request. D. Because of his parents’ suggestion.
5. Which of the following words can describe the moves of tai chi
A. Quick and beautiful. B. Quick and free.
C. Slow and beautiful. D. Slow and boring.
6. What is the Chinese culture behind tai chi
A. Tai chi is influenced by Laozi’s philosophy of water.
B. Tai chi can have a positive effect in people’s lives.
C. You can find the origin of tai chi in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang.
D. Tai chi can make people feel energetic and confident.
7. What does the underlined word mean
A. Finally B. Sometimes C. Firstly D. Constantly
C
Vitamins, minerals, and multivitamin supplements won’t protect you from cancer, heart disease, or help you live longer, the US preventive Services Task Force said in the new guidelines released Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association on June 21.
Following the release of the previous guidelines in 2014, the Task Force reviewed 84 studies testing vitamins in almost 700,000 people, including 52 new studies.
However, the conclusion is still the same as that of 2014: If you are a healthy adult who is not pregnant, there is not enough evidence of benefits to expand one’s life in taking vitamin E, vitamin D, vitamin A, calcium tablets, carotene (胡萝卜素), vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin C and other supplements. The Task Force does not recommend taking carotene supplements to prevent cardiovascular (心血管) disease or cancer, with enough evidence that it “may increase the risk of death, the death rate of cardiovascular disease and the risk of lung cancer”. Nor should people take vitamin E, “because vitamin E is not likely to be beneficial in reducing death, cardiovascular disease or cancer risk,” the Task Force said.
“Lifestyle recommendations for preventing chronic diseases (慢性病) should continue to focus on evidence-based methods, including balanced meals rich in fruits and vegetables and physical activity,” Dr. Jeffrey Linder, Director of General Internal Medicine at the Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwestern University in Chicago, wrote in an additional commentary.
Take the Mediterranean diet for example. Eating the Mediterranean way, which focuses on a plant-based diet, physical activity and social engagement, can reduce the risk for high cholesterol, dementia (痴呆), memory loss, depression and breast cancer. And numerous studies found meals from the sunny Mediterranean region have also been linked to weight loss, stronger bones, a healthier heart and longer life.
Another evidence-based approach is the DASH diet, which stands for “dietary approaches to stop hypertension (高血压)”. Many studies have shown that this diet successfully reduces hypertension. Both the Mediterranean and DASH diets avoid processed foods and focus on fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds.
“Rather than focusing money, time, and attention on supplements, it would be better to emphasize lower-risk, higher-benefit activities...following a healthy diet, getting exercise, maintaining a health y weight, and avoiding smoking,” Linder and his colleagues wrote.
However, certain groups of people do need to take specific vitamins. Some seniors may need vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 supplements because they absorb fewer vitamins from food as they age. Because the elderly often have less sun exposure than younger people, they may need vitamin D supplements, but the dosage must be checked by the doctor, as too much vitamin D intake can be harmful.
8. What can we learn from the Task Force
A. Vitamins must be useful to prevent cardiovascular disease or cancer.
B. Doctors want to control cardiovascular disease.
C. It’s necessary for all people to take vitamins.
D. In some regard, taking vitamins is not beneficial.
9. How many kinds of diets are mentioned to reduce death, cardiovascular disease or cancer risk
A. One B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
10. According to the passage, who can take vitamins regularly
A. A 40-year-old healthy worker. B. A 15-year old healthy boy.
C. A 34-year-old healthy lady. D. A 69-year-old healthy man.
11. What’s the main idea for the text
A. The history of vitamins.
B. The functions of vitamins.
C. Taking vitamins to prevent diseases may fail.
D. People’s attitudes towards vitamins.
D
Several years ago, a worldwide heavy rain was predicted, but no one got prepared for what was to come. Then, some areas received over 100 cm of rain. Cars and trucks floated down the streets. Whole buildings were swept away. At least 225 people lost their lives, and millions became homeless.
The weather is always changing. Over the past few years, heavy rains have led to floods in many parts of the world. Droughts have taken place in Brazil and Australia. There have been heat waves in Europe which killed thousands. There have been more powerful hurricanes and tornadoes than ever before. In 2017 alone, the financial cost from global weather events was up to 340 billion dollars.
With more wild weather events happening, people couldn’t help asking questions: What is happening with the weather And why Is this natural, or our fault The answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. But most scientists hold the same view that human activity has made the Earth warmer. It is this global warming that makes heat waves more likely. The higher temperatures also result in more water to go into the air, which causes heavier and more frequent rain. Many scientists also believe global warming makes hurricanes and other storms stronger.
This means we’re likely to see more wild weather. “But we don’t have to just stand there and accept it,” says scientist Michael. He and other experts say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives.
12. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph
A. A past weather event happened in some areas in the world.
B. Some facts are listed about the global warming.
C. A number of recent weather events happened over the world.
D. Wild weather is partly the result of human activity.
13. How does paragraph two develop
A. By giving a lot of examples of recent wild weather events.
B. By describing a serious flood that once happened.
C. By predicting how the weather will change in a few years.
D. By comparing the former wild weather with what happened now
14. What does scientist Michael’s words mean
A. People can not do anything to prevent wild weather.
B. If people stop global warming, the weather will be better.
C. It is too late to stop global warming.
D. People have to stand by and accept what will happen to us.
15. Where can you probably find the text
A. In a tourist brochure B. In a research paper
C. In a science fiction D. In a nature magazine

A. Seek out social connections.
B. Social support can be beneficial.
C. Maybe the problem is not your job itself, but rather a specific task or project.
D. But If you reach too high too fast, burnout is unavoidable.

F. Here are some methods you can follow to solve the problem.

I hesitated when my friend suggested that we join the school’s new Tai Chi club. I used to think that tai chi was for the elderly. However, the first class changed my previous understanding of tai chi. A year later, I can say that tai chi has had a huge impact on me.
The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves with descriptive names really caught my imagination, like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg.” When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird. However, nowadays people tend to believe that Chen Wangting, a 17th-century master of Chinese martial arts, developed tai chi based on martial arts skills.
After the first few basic tai chi lessons, I found myself bored and aching from doing the same slow moves over and over again. Fortunately, my coach taught me how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind during ever, day practice. With these requirements of tai chi in mind, I found to my satisfaction that my balance and flexibility slowly improved, that I was able to do more difficult moves, and that my love for tai chi returned stronger than ever.
Meanwhile, I started to explore the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi. I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, which are believed to form the the unity of opposite. Neither can exist independent of the other. The practice of tai chi aims to keep the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right, breathing in and breathing out. Ultimately, tai chi brings about a state of physical balance and mental peace.
The experience of a year of tai chi has affected my everyday life positively. I sleep more soundly at night, and feel more energetic during the day. I feel happier and more confident. Tai chi has taught me to relax my mind, enabling me to stay calm in stressful situations. I am sure I will continue to practise tai chi and enjoy the benefits it has brought me.
4. Why did the author join the Tai Chi Club
A. Because of his friend’s advice. B. Because of his interest in it.
C. Because of the school’s request. D. Because of his parents’ suggestion.
5. Which of the following words can describe the moves of tai chi

C. Slow and beautiful. D. Slow and boring.
6. What is the Chinese culture behind tai chi

B. Tai chi can have a positive effect in people’s lives.
C. You can find the origin of tai chi in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang.
D. Tai chi can make people feel energetic and confident.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I hesitated when my friend suggested that we join the school’s new Tai Chi club.(当朋友建议我们加入学校新成立的太极俱乐部时，我犹豫了一下)”可知，朋友的建议让作者加入了学校太极俱乐部。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“After the first few basic tai chi lessons, I found myself bored and aching from doing the same slow moves over and over again.(在最初的几堂基础太极课后，我发现自己厌倦了一遍又一遍地做同样的缓慢动作)”及文章第二段“The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves with descriptive names really caught my imagination, like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg.” When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird.(最初的几节太极课既有趣又简单，那些动作的名字也很吸引我，比如“白鹤展翅”和“金鸡独立”。当我问我的教练这些有趣的名字是从哪里来的，他告诉我关于太极的历史。据说，13世纪的道家张三丰从蛇与鸟的搏斗中得到灵感，发明了太极拳)”可知，太极拳的招式是缓慢并且优美的。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Meanwhile, I started to explore the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi. I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, which are believed to form the the unity of opposite.(同时，我开始探索太极拳背后的中国古代文化。我发现太极深深植根于中国的阴阳哲学，阴阳被认为是对立的统一)”可知，太极背后的中国文化是在中国的阴阳哲学中找到太极的起源。故选C。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“The practice of tai chi aims to keep the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right, breathing in and breathing out.(练习太极的目的是通过相反的动作来保持身体的阴阳平衡:前后，上下，左右，吸气和呼气)”表明太极的动作，划线词后一句“ tai chi brings about a state of physical balance and mental peace.(太极拳带来一种身体平衡和精神平静的状态)”可知，这些招式最终会带来一种平衡的状态，划线词与Finally（最终）意思相近。故选A。
C
Vitamins, minerals, and multivitamin supplements won’t protect you from cancer, heart disease, or help you live longer, the US preventive Services Task Force said in the new guidelines released Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association on June 21.
Following the release of the previous guidelines in 2014, the Task Force reviewed 84 studies testing vitamins in almost 700,000 people, including 52 new studies.
However, the conclusion is still the same as that of 2014: If you are a healthy adult who is not pregnant, there is not enough evidence of benefits to expand one’s life in taking vitamin E, vitamin D, vitamin A, calcium tablets, carotene (胡萝卜素), vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin C and other supplements. The Task Force does not recommend taking carotene supplements to prevent cardiovascular (心血管) disease or cancer, with enough evidence that it “may increase the risk of death, the death rate of cardiovascular disease and the risk of lung cancer”. Nor should people take vitamin E, “because vitamin E is not likely to be beneficial in reducing death, cardiovascular disease or cancer risk,” the Task Force said.
“Lifestyle recommendations for preventing chronic diseases (慢性病) should continue to focus on evidence-based methods, including balanced meals rich in fruits and vegetables and physical activity,” Dr. Jeffrey Linder, Director of General Internal Medicine at the Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwestern University in Chicago, wrote in an additional commentary.
Take the Mediterranean diet for example. Eating the Mediterranean way, which focuses on a plant-based diet, physical activity and social engagement, can reduce the risk for high cholesterol, dementia (痴呆), memory loss, depression and breast cancer. And numerous studies found meals from the sunny Mediterranean region have also been linked to weight loss, stronger bones, a healthier heart and longer life.
Another evidence-based approach is the DASH diet, which stands for “dietary approaches to stop hypertension (高血压)”. Many studies have shown that this diet successfully reduces hypertension. Both the Mediterranean and DASH diets avoid processed foods and focus on fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds.
“Rather than focusing money, time, and attention on supplements, it would be better to emphasize lower-risk, higher-benefit activities...following a healthy diet, getting exercise, maintaining a health y weight, and avoiding smoking,” Linder and his colleagues wrote.
However, certain groups of people do need to take specific vitamins. Some seniors may need vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 supplements because they absorb fewer vitamins from food as they age. Because the elderly often have less sun exposure than younger people, they may need vitamin D supplements, but the dosage must be checked by the doctor, as too much vitamin D intake can be harmful.
8. What can we learn from the Task Force
A. Vitamins must be useful to prevent cardiovascular disease or cancer.
B. Doctors want to control cardiovascular disease.
C. It’s necessary for all people to take vitamins.
D. In some regard, taking vitamins is not beneficial.
9. How many kinds of diets are mentioned to reduce death, cardiovascular disease or cancer risk
A. One B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
10. According to the passage, who can take vitamins regularly
A. A 40-year-old healthy worker. B. A 15-year old healthy boy.
C. A 34-year-old healthy lady. D. A 69-year-old healthy man.
11. What’s the main idea for the text
A. The history of vitamins.
B. The functions of vitamins.
C. Taking vitamins to prevent diseases may fail.
D. People’s attitudes towards vitamins.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究表明，普通人服用维生素、矿物质和复合维生素补充剂并不能降低患病风险，也不能帮助延长寿命，建议应该关注有据可循的方法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Vitamins, minerals, and multivitamin supplements won’t protect you from cancer, heart disease, or help you live longer, the US preventive Services Task Force said in the new guidelines released Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association on June 21.(美国预防服务工作组在6月21日发表在《美国医学会杂志》上的新指南中表示，维生素、矿物质和多种维生素补充剂不能保护你免受癌症、心脏病的侵害，也不能延长你的寿命)”和第三段中的“If you are a healthy adult who is not pregnant, there is not enough evidence of benefits to expand one’s life in taking vitamin E, vitamin D, vitamin A, calcium tablets, carotene(胡萝卜素), vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin C and other supplements. The Task Force does not recommend taking carotene supplements to prevent cardiovascular(心血管) disease or cancer, with enough evidence that it “may increase the risk of death, the death rate of cardiovascular disease and the risk of lung cancer”. Nor should people take vitamin E, “because vitamin E is not likely to be beneficial in reducing death, cardiovascular disease or cancer risk,” the Task Force said.(如果你是一个健康且没有怀孕的成年人，那么没有足够的证据表明服用维生素E、维生素D、维生素A、钙片、胡萝卜素、维生素B3、维生素B6、维生素C和其他补充剂有助于延长寿命。工作组不建议服用胡萝卜素补充剂来预防心血管疾病或癌症，有足够的证据表明它“可能会增加死亡风险、心血管疾病死亡率和癌症风险”。工作组表示，人们也不应该服用维生素E，“因为维生素E不太可能有助于降低死亡、心血管疾病或癌症风险”。)”可推知，从某些方面来说，服用维生素并没有好处。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Lifestyle recommendations for preventing chronic diseases(慢性病) should continue to focus on evidence-based methods, including balanced meals rich in fruits and vegetables and physical activity(预防慢性病的生活方式建议应继续关注有据可循方法，包括富含水果和蔬菜的均衡膳食以及体育活动)”、第五段中的“Take the Mediterranean diet for example.(以地中海饮食为例。)”和第六段中的“Another evidence-based approach is the DASH diet, which stands for “dietary approaches to stop hypertension(高血压)”.(另一种循证方法是DASH饮食，它代表“阻止高血压的饮食方法”。)”可知，文中提到地中海饮食和DASH饮食两种有助于预防慢性病、减少死亡的饮食。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Some seniors may need vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 supplements because they absorb fewer vitamins from food as they age. Because the elderly often have less sun exposure than younger people, they may need vitamin D supplements, but the dosage must be checked by the doctor, as too much vitamin D intake can be harmful.(一些老年人可能需要补充维生素B12和维生素B6，因为随着年龄的增长，他们从食物中吸收的维生素会减少。因为老年人经常比年轻人少晒太阳，他们可能需要补充维生素D，但剂量必须由医生检查，因为摄入过多的维生素D可能有害。)”可知，一些老年人需要补充维生素。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段中的“Vitamins, minerals, and multivitamin supplements won’t protect you from cancer, heart disease, or help you live longer(维生素、矿物质和多种维生素补充剂不会保护你免受癌症、心脏病的侵袭，也不会帮助你活得更长)”引出主题，即维生素、矿物质和多种维生素补充剂不会帮助预防疾病和延长寿命，由此可推测出，C项“服用维生素来预防疾病可能无效”符合题意。故选C。
D
Several years ago, a worldwide heavy rain was predicted, but no one got prepared for what was to come. Then, some areas received over 100 cm of rain. Cars and trucks floated down the streets. Whole buildings were swept away. At least 225 people lost their lives, and millions became homeless.
The weather is always changing. Over the past few years, heavy rains have led to floods in many parts of the world. Droughts have taken place in Brazil and Australia. There have been heat waves in Europe which killed thousands. There have been more powerful hurricanes and tornadoes than ever before. In 2017 alone, the financial cost from global weather events was up to 340 billion dollars.
With more wild weather events happening, people couldn’t help asking questions: What is happening with the weather And why Is this natural, or our fault The answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. But most scientists hold the same view that human activity has made the Earth warmer. It is this global warming that makes heat waves more likely. The higher temperatures also result in more water to go into the air, which causes heavier and more frequent rain. Many scientists also believe global warming makes hurricanes and other storms stronger.
This means we’re likely to see more wild weather. “But we don’t have to just stand there and accept it,” says scientist Michael. He and other experts say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives.
12. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph
A. A past weather event happened in some areas in the world.
B. Some facts are listed about the global warming.
C. A number of recent weather events happened over the world.
D. Wild weather is partly the result of human activity.
13. How does paragraph two develop
A. By giving a lot of examples of recent wild weather events.
B By describing a serious flood that once happened.
C. By predicting how the weather will change in a few years.
D. By comparing the former wild weather with what happened now
14. What does scientist Michael’s words mean
A People can not do anything to prevent wild weather.
B. If people stop global warming, the weather will be better.
C. It is too late to stop global warming.
D. People have to stand by and accept what will happen to us.
15. Where can you probably find the text
A. In a tourist brochure B. In a research paper
C. In a science fiction D. In a nature magazine
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】

推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The weather is always changing.(天气总是在变化)”及第三段“With more wild weather events happening, people couldn’t help asking questions: What is happening with the weather And why Is this natural, or our fault The answer seems to be: a little of both.(随着越来越多的恶劣天气事件的发生，人们不禁要问：天气怎么了？为什么？这是自然的，还是我们的错？答案似乎是:两者兼而有之)”可知，本文介绍了恶劣天气事件的增多及背后的原因及我们应该如何对待这一现象，文章应该出自自然杂志。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了一种新的喝茶方式——围炉煮茶在年轻人中流行开来。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：不久前，中国传统的制茶技术及其相关的社会实践成功入选联合国教科文组织最新的人类非物质文化遗产。分析句子可知，空处缺少谓语动词，结合Not long ago可知，句子为一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填became。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：“围炉煮茶”是一种新的喝茶方式，最近在中国流行起来。空处缺少gain的宾语，用名词，popular对应的名词为popularity，为不可数名词。故填popularity。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：饮茶的过程有一种仪式感，成为年轻人的新宠。sense为可数名词，根据sense of可知，此处表示“……感”为泛指，sense以辅音音素开始发音，不定冠词用a。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：总的来说，在炉子上煮茶的过程包括在冲泡之前高度烘烤茶叶，有时会用玫瑰花蕾或桂花，在一个装满木炭的炉子上的锅里。固定短语generally speaking“一般来说”符合句意，设空处应填副词generally。故填Generally。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意同上。rosebuds与sweet osmanthus均为花朵类别，选择其一进行煮茶，因此为选择关系。故填or。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：煮茶的艺术是一个耗时的过程，需要不断地注意温度，以便正确地“煮”它。分析句子可知，空处引导限制性定语从句，指代先行词process，在从句中作主语，表示事物，用which/that引导。故填which/that。
【42题详解】
考查状语从句省略。句意：人们还会在这些古老的茶馆里穿着传统的汉服晒自己围炉煮茶的朋友圈。分析句子可知，空处作状语，while引导时间状语从句，结构为while they are wearing…，此处从句主语they与主句主语people一致，省略从句主语they及are，此处用现在分词表示主动。故填wearing。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：与骑行、露营等其他流行的生活方式类似，“围炉煮茶”反映了年轻人逃离城市、拥抱自然、体验宁静心灵的渴望。similar to为固定短语，空处缺少介词to。故填to。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子可知，设空处位于desire后为定语，表示“逃离城市愿望”用不定式结构。故填to escape。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：“围炉煮茶”也是将中国文化元素融入人们日常生活的最新“国潮”或“国民潮流”。空处缺少形容词作定语，表示“日常的”。故填daily。

Mrs.Timmons’ dog had gotten out again. She asked Brian if he could find Fifi for her. Brian said he would be happy to help Mrs. Timmons. She was getting so old.

Brian thanked Mrs. Timmons. He told her that she did not have to pay him. Then Brian had an idea. Now he knew what he could do to earn money. He would set up a pet service! He could take care of people’s pets when they were gone. He figured there were at least 12 dogs he could look after, a few cats, and even some dish. Brian would have that bike in no time.

【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要讲述了Brian渴望拥有一辆新自行车，他观察到朋友Joe和Tyler的新旧自行车都十分适合做花式动作和顺畅骑行，而自己五年前的自行车已无法满足他长高后的身体需求。Brian计算出他还需筹集76.33美元才能购买心仪的新车，但生日尚远且因年龄限制无法从事草坪修剪工作。他思考各种可能的筹款途径：请求父亲预支未来几个月的零花钱、向存有大量保姆收入的姐姐借钱，甚至萌生了效仿姐姐从事保姆工作的念头，然而很快意识到自己因年龄原因尚不能独自在家。面对种种限制，Brian仍在门前苦苦思索如何实现他的自行车梦想。
【详解】1.段落续写
由第一段首句“就在这时，电话铃响了。”可知，Timmons太太的狗怕了出来，她因为年龄太大无法去追狗，所以问Brian能不能帮助她把狗追回来。Brian同意了。
