When Zhi Yueying,then 19,went to the remote Niyang village in Yichun City,Jiangxi Province,to work as a village teacher in 1980,villagers were doubtful if she was going to stay long.
Over the past four decades,Zhi has devoted herself to rural education.She is a recipient of Touching China awards that recognize the most inspiring role models in 2016.She was also awarded as a model poverty fighter by the government.Zhi has a profound understanding of the importance of education in the mountains.Over the years,she has taught the students and cared for them,since many of them were “left-behind” children whose parents migrated to other places to work.More than 1,000 students of hers have left the mountain area,and created a better life for themselves.

Located amid the mountains,the village was very poor and far from any town.Villagers had to hike in the mountains.“I arrived at the school in an early evening,and was shocked.I had known the conditions were poor,but the reality was worse.” Moreover,local people needed to go downhill to buy daily necessities,and transport them back in their hands or balanced across their shoulders.“I had never walked uphill on a mountain road before,so I walked much more slowly than others;sometimes I walked slowly behind too much and was scared to tears,” says Zhi.Sometimes she had to walk uphill by herself with a flashlight at night.The wild boars and rabbits sometimes frightened her and she enhanced her courage by singing loudly.

But she gradually got used to her life there.At the beginning,she found many local people valued their sons far more than their daughters,and would not like to let them attend school.Zhi went to their homes repeatedly and gradually persuaded them to send all their children to school.For those who could not afford the tuition,she spared her own money to help.
Zhi says seeing her students do well beyond the mountains is deeply rewarding.“My dream,the same as before,is to stay by the side of more children.I know poverty will forever say goodbye to the mountainous villages, to my students,and to myself,” says Zhi.

Plants may tell us when they’re in trouble.Thirsty tomato and tobacco plants make clicking sounds,researchers have found.The sounds are ultrasonic (超声波的),meaning they are too high-pitched for human ears to hear.But when the sounds are transformed to lower pitches,they sound like popping bubbles (爆破的泡泡).Plants also make clicks when their stems (茎) are cut.
“It’s not like the plants are screaming,” says Lilach Hadany,an evolutionary biologist working at Tel Aviv University in Israel.“Plants may not mean to make these noises.We’ve shown only that plants create informative sounds.”
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
Hadany and her colleagues first heard the clicks when they set microphones next to plants on tables in a lab.The microphones caught some noises.But the researchers needed to make sure that the clicking was coming from the plants.So,the scientists placed plants inside soundproof boxes in the basement, far from the noise of the lab.There,microphones picked up ultrasonic pops from thirsty tomato plants.Though it was outside humans’ hearing range,the clicking made by plants was about as loud as a normal conversation.
Cut tomato plants and dry or cut tobacco plants clicked,too.But plants that had enough water or hadn’t been cut stayed mostly quiet.Wheat,corn and grapevines also made sounds when stressed out.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
The researchers don’t yet know why plants click.Bubbles forming and then popping inside plant tissues that transport water might make the noises.But however they happen,pops from crops could help farmers,the researchers suggest.Microphones,for example,could monitor fields or greenhouses to detect when plants need to be irrigated (灌溉).
Hadany wonders whether other plants and insects already tune into plant pops.Other studies have suggested that plants respond to sounds.And animals from pests (害虫),moths to mice can hear in the range of the ultrasonic clicks. Sounds made by plants could be heard from around five meters away. Hadany’s team is now studying what the living things near the plants will do after hearing the sounds.

A.To enjoy the sounds made by the plants.
B.To have a better conversation with the plants.
C.To find out whether the plants did make sounds.
D.To keep the plant sounds within their hearing range.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。文章第三段的“But the researchers needed to make sure that the clicking was coming from the plants.So,the scientists placed plants inside soundproof boxes in the basement,far from the noise of the lab.”可知,科学家们把植物放在地下室的隔音箱里是为了弄清这些植物是否会发出声音。

When a new school semester begins,many children felt very bad about it. They feel very nervous about going back to school.According to the experts, it’s totally normal.Transitions(转变) are hard for everyone, 1 .That’s because routines are healthy for us,and changing into a new one can throw us off.
For parents,it’s really important to know that it’s very normal for their children to have a whole range of feelings about going back to school—from excitement,to anxiety and sadness,to even anger. 2 .They might have stomachaches or headaches when thinking about returning to school in September.And that’s all normal,too.

One of the best ways to ease into a new routine is to help the children focus on what they are looking forward to, 3 .It could be one friend they’re excited to see or even the idea of walking to school every day.
4 .Walking or biking by the school can help.Hanging out with a kid who’s going to be in the same grade is a better way to relieve anxiety.
Getting enough sleep,exercising,and talking to reliable adults and friends are other effective ways to cope with anxiety and negative feelings. 5 .“If bedtime is now super late,or there is no bedtime,try to move it an hour earlier every night leading up to your first day of school,” said an expert.

Unit 2 Exploring English

A
Throughout my childhood,I constantly dreamed of being an only child—having no one around to fight with,to share with,to grab the remote control away from me in the middle of a “big game”. But I have an elder sister,whom I have always called “Kicki,” instead of her real name Christie,because I used to have trouble pronouncing the “r” and “s”.
I started playing basketball in primary school.My dad was the coach of my team,and my mom kept scoring.So my sister,not old enough to stay home alone,was forced to come to all my games.I remember looking toward the stands for my mother’s approval and seeing my sister’s face,confused.It was obvious that she wasn’t excited,but she cheered along with the crowd anyway.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
On the car ride home,my parents and I would relive the game.My sister sat in the back seat with me in silence,not knowing how or when to enter the conversation.Often,she would say,“Good game,Brad.” I would smile and thank her but never took it seriously.She couldn’t possibly know whether I had played well or not.
It wasn’t until I reached high school that I realized how popular she was,and I was referred to as “Christie’s little brother”.I played basketball in high school,and although Christie wasn’t forced to attend my games anymore,she still came to cheer me every week.In the last game of the last season,she came with a large group of friends.Printed on her shirt,in big bright red letters,were the words “BRAD’S SISTER.” Suddenly I was embarrassed,not for her presence,but for my previous attitude to her praise.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Kicki left for college after that game.I finally have the remote control all to myself.However,watching TV alone has turned out to be boring.I went to visit her at college during a weekend,and as I stood outside her dorm,waiting for her to come out,a friend of hers whom I didn’t know walked past me and asked,“Hey,aren’t you Christie’s brother ” I smiled broadly and said proudly, “Yeah,I am.I’m Christie’s brother.”

In late 2020,a post on Tweet spread quickly:“Another day of staring at the big screen while scrolling through my little screen so as to reward myself for staring at the media screen all week.” It seems right on.We are glued to our screens.And it’s not only about watching movies and scrolling through TikTok (抖音).As remote work has set in,we’re relying entirely on digital tools to keep in touch with each other and get our work done.
This has led to a worrisome spike in “digital intensity (强度)”.A new survey from Microsoft tracked the habits of more than 30,000 users in 31 countries over 2021,and the results are alarming.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
The good news is that something as simple as a 10-minute break,if used correctly,can help reduce the effects of digital intensity.“If you give yourself a break,and do something like mediation,reading,drawing—anything that turns your brain to something more relaxing,” says Dr Michael Bohan,the director of Microsoft’s Human Factors Engineering Lab,“the brain will begin to produce alpha waves.” After the break,“you’ll be more engaged and focused,”he adds.“Taking breaks lets you refresh,and maintain better brain health across the day.”
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Finding new ways to connect with our colleagues,and reducing the number of daily online meetings,emails and virtual check-ins will do more than “reduce the digital load”.It will also pave (铺设) the way for a reinvented workplace,which most expect to be the combination of old and new.“We need to look at every process,”says Bohan,“and ask:Why are we doing this Is there a way to do this more effectively Let’s not repeat what we’ve always done.Let’s figure out how to do it better.”

It was four weeks before New Year,and our youth group wanted to do something together as a New Year project for our community.The concept was great,but none of us seventeen-year-olds had any idea what to do.
“Maybe we could have a food drive to help the homeless,” John suggested at our Sunday night meeting.“But we have done that many times”,answered Brian with a frown.

Ten minutes passed without any proposal good enough to win our hearts. Finally I decided to speak.“Why don’t we think about our project for a few days and then come back with three or four suggestions we can vote on ” Everyone agreed to wait a week before deciding.
I knew time was running out to get something going before New Year,but I had no clue what we should do.During the following week,one idea after another ran through my mind,but I was still indecisive.
Thursday after school,I wandered into the kitchen as my dad prepared for dinner.Sensing my uneasiness,he asked what troubled me without even looking up.“Well...it...” I let out a long breath.“Our youth group wants to do something for New Year,but we don’t know what to do...”

“Hmm.” My dad thought out loud.“There’s a seniors’ home I’ve worked with close to St.Joseph’s Hospital.The residents don’t get out much around New Year with the snow and ice.It might be an idea to take them out to see the New Year lights around here.”
I stood still for a few moments thinking of all the spectacular(绚丽的)New Year light displays in our neighborhood.To be honest,I never thought about that,but it might just work.

On New Year’s Day,the bus we rented arrived at the seniors’ home in the snow.Despite the cold,the snow added a magical white blanket to the neighborhood.All residents slowly found seats on the bus and the tour began. The spectacular light displays lit up their faces and I even saw some eyes filling up.Returning to the seniors’ home,they couldn’t stop talking about all they’d seen and thanked us again and again.Looking at their excited and grateful faces,we’d never felt warmer.(共30张PPT)

Liam,an experienced cyclist,had previously ridden from Los Angeles to San Francisco.He made short videos of that trip,and shared them on the social media app TikTok,some of which became quite popular.After reading a book by adventurer Jedidiah Jenkins,who biked from Oregon to Argentina,Liam decided to cycle from Prudhoe Bay,Alaska,the northernmost point in the United States accessible by road,to Ushuaia,Argentina,the southernmost point of South America.

Regenerative tourism is a concept that is gaining attraction in the travel industry.It is different from sustainable tourism in that it goes beyond just minimizing the negative impact of tourism.It is a philosophy that aims to not only minimize the negative impact of tourism but also to actively contribute to the regeneration of local ecosystems,economies,and cultures.
The concept of regenerative tourism is not new.Native communities around the world have been practicing regenerative tourism for centuries.However,it has gained renewed interest in recent years due to the growing awareness of the impact of tourism on the environment and the need for sustainable travel practices,particularly post-pandemic-indeed it could even be argued that,as the global tourism industry and those who depend on it start to recover,tourism in itself is a regenerative act.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
One example of regenerative tourism is ecotourism.Ecotourism involves traveling to natural areas with the aim of learning about and conserving the environment.It involves activities such as hiking,bird watching,and wildlife viewing.Another example of regenerative tourism is community-based munity-based tourism involves staying with local communities and participating in their cultural activities,such as our Buffalo Curd Experience in Sri Lanka,or our Rice Wine Trek in Laos.Regenerative tourism can also involve the use of sustainable and regenerative practices in the tourism industry itself.For example,hotels can use renewable energy sources, reduce their water consumption,and use sustainable materials in their construction.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
The benefits of regenerative tourism are many.However,carrying out regenerative tourism practices requires a shift in mindset and a commitment to sustainability.It requires tourism businesses to not only minimize their negative impact but to actively contribute to the regeneration of the environment and communities.It requires tourists to be conscious of their impact and to choose travel options in line with their values.
In conclusion,regenerative tourism is a promising concept that has the potential to transform the travel industry.By actively contributing to the regeneration of local ecosystems,economies,and cultures,regenerative tourism can create a better future for both people and the planet.

We set off on our journey up Mount Wutai onto its peak to appreciate the mysterious and beautiful Bodhisattva Lights,ball-shaped lights floating in the whole sky with radiant beams.Seen from the foot of the mountain,the sky was gray and cloudy. 1 It sometimes appeared in white mist,and sometimes was completely covered by clouds.
On the mountainside,our clothing grew wet. 2 It slowed the horses down to a heavy pace.We spent the night at a small temple.The next morning we continued our climb in the rain.The road was more slippery than the day before,so we had no choice but to get down from our horses and walked on foot.

If reducing stress has been on your summer-to-do list,there’s one powerful thing you can still do before the season ends:get in the habit of taking a walk outside with a friend.
A quick walk in nature with a friend combines three of the most effective stress-reducing and resilience(恢复力)building techniques:physical exercise, spending time in nature and social connection.The activity works by helping normalize the hormonal changes that result from long time stress and enhancing the emotional resources that help us cope.
Ⅰ

Walking quickly activates(激活)the body’s stress response.And when the walk is over,the stress system comes back down to the baseline.Regular exercise helps your stress response become more efficient,says Jennifer Heisz,associate professor at McMaster University.
As little as 10 minutes of sitting or walking in nature can decrease a person’s heart rate,blood pressure and cortisol levels,as well as self-reported stress levels.One possible explanation,the researchers say,is that spending time in nature lowers the activity of our sympathetic nervous system,which regulates stress hormones,and taps into the parasympathetic(副交感)nervous system, which promotes our calm and relaxation responses.

Taking that hike with a loved one can further reduce stress by adding the important element of social connection.Talking with trusted friends helps people process stressful events and lifts self-esteem.Social support has positive effects on the brain and body,scientific research finds.
Earlier this year,Cassie Moreno was in a rut of stress and anxiety.She was starting a new job,struggling to make new friends during the pandemic,and going through a breakup.Strolling along the Hudson River with other women, the 26-year-old Maine native says she felt an immediate surge of confidence and calm.
“Look at the water!Look at the Statue of Liberty!How did we get this lucky ” she says.

The PAL-V Liberty is a revolutionary vehicle that can travel on both land and air.It is the world’s first commercial flying car,and it is now available for pre-order.The PAL-V Liberty is developed by a Dutch company called PAL-V International B.V.,which stands for Personal Air and Land Vehicle.The company has been working on the project since 2001,and has successfully tested the prototype in 2012.
The PAL-V Liberty is a two-seater hybrid car and gyroplane,which means it has a three-wheeled chassis and a foldable rotor on top.It can switch between driving mode and flying mode in about 10 minutes,with the help of a semi-automatic system.It has a top speed of 160 km/h on the road and 180 km/h in the air,and can fly up to 500 km on a single tank of fuel.It uses regular gasoline,and can be refueled at any gas station.

I have grown up in a football-loving family.My elder sister Stevie 1 with Crewe Alexandra Girls for a year or two as a left back just like our hero Jamie Carragher.

He 5 responded by telling me that women’s football was “great” and that I could play if I wanted to.“Yeah,I suppose so,” I responded,“but no one 6 women’s football.” Looking back,I can see exactly why I felt like that.

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。
The four mountain climbers were still breathing heavily as they looked out into the distance.The views from the top of the mountain were breathtaking.In all directions,valleys,forests and other mountains were laid out before them.They could even see the small wooden houses of the village where they had spent the night and the route they had taken to reach the top of this small but dangerous mountain.Laughing loudly,they were surprised at their courage in climbing such a steep and rocky mountain slope.Filled with an enormous sense of achievement,the four young climbers patted each other on the back.

As the other three continued to enjoy the views,Jason,the leader of the group,stared at the horizon with a troubled look on his face.
“What is it,Jason ” Sofia,the youngest of the group,asked.
“Those dark clouds in the distance mean a heavy storm is fast on the way,” Jason replied.He remembered the villagers had warned him of the unpredictable weather conditions on top of the mountain and that a terrible storm could appear from nowhere.
“But it’s so warm and sunny here.I don’t think the storm is coming this way,” Sofia said,more in hope than expectation.
Ⅰ

Ⅲ
However,Jason feared the worst and knew only too well what would happen if the storm caught them in the open.He addressed the group in a calm but serious tone,“If the storm hits us,the temperature will fall dramatically.The rain and mist will make it difficult for us to see where we are going and we could easily get lost or fall off a cliff.The wind will take our strength,so we need to get moving fast.”
The four mountain climbers packed up their facilities and immediately started back down the mountain.Unfortunately,despite their best efforts,the storm was upon them sooner than expected.The wind screamed in their ears,the driving rain stung(刺痛) their eyes and the mist made it impossible for them to see clearly.

With it getting dark,Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue. He gathered the group in the shelter of a large rock,where he noticed that the other three were frightened and looking to him for a way out.Pushed by responsibility and pressure of leadership,Jason,shouting against the wind, explained that the safest thing for the moment was taking shelter from the pouring rain.They had expected that the storm would pass very soon. However, as darkness settled over them,the shower swept in.How time dragged!

Finally,the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers decided to continue their way down the mountain.Unbearably cold and hungry,they felt their way downward with great difficulty,eager for a miracle.Suddenly, something caught Jason’s eye.Was it a flash of light There it was again...and another! In response,Jason immediately flashed his torch,exclaiming,“Over here! We are here!” His companions joined in.Rescue eventually arrived. Seeing the climbers,all the searching villagers breathed a sigh of relief and lovingly helped them return to the village.You see,weather changes but love remains.(共30张PPT)

Shawn Triplett knew there was a desperate need to help the children of Mayfield,Kentucky,after a deadly storm struck the town.
Mayfield was one of the towns hardest hit after a line of storms crossed the central US on Friday night and Saturday morning.Triplett—a Mayfield resident and a former soldier—was in Chicago that Friday night.Alarmed by the weather reports,his wife and two young children went to stay in a hotel of the nearby town,Paducah,without suffering the storms and ultimately out of the path of the tornadoes(龙卷风).

“It was very heartbreaking,too much for me to handle,” he said.Therefore,he decided that more needed to be done for the children affected by the storm. Noticing that supplies available were essentials such as generators(发电机) and bottled water,he turned to his friends on social media for donations so that

Scientists have learned more about the inner workings of the Earth by studying the way waves from earthquakes travel through the planet’s center. The results suggest that the Earth’s inner core may be starting to spin more slowly than the Earth.
The Earth’s core has two parts:the outer core and the inner core.Both of these are made mainly of the metals—iron and nickel.The outer core is liquid.But the inner core is a solid ball held in this liquid almost like the yolk(蛋黄) in an egg.
Scientists suspected for a long time that the inner core might be spinning slightly differently from the way the Earth spins.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
In the 1990s,two scientists,Paul Richards and Song Xiaodong,studied the inner core by looking at the waves from earthquakes that travel through the center of the Earth.They focused on groups and pairs of waves from earthquakes that naturally repeat.If the inner core was spinning exactly with the Earth,each wave of the pair should have taken the same time to pass through the Earth.Instead,some moved faster than others.This was because they were hitting different parts of the inner core as it spun.Their studies revealed that the inner core was spinning in the same direction as the Earth,but slightly faster.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
Now Dr.Song and Yi Yang—another scientist who studies the Earth—say they’ve used the same method to learn that the Earth’s inner core may be starting to spin slower than the Earth.The researchers studied earthquake wave pairs from Alaska,going all the way back to 1964.They noticed that the inner core’s spin also seemed to change speed in the early 1970s.The scientists say that the inner core may have a pattern of speeding up and slowing down every 70 years or so.
Not everyone agrees.Many scientists who study the Earth say more information needed to figure out what is really going on.

One day Hilary Krieger was sitting in her parents’ home when her friend accidentally squirted(喷、射) himself with an orange slice.“I said,‘Oh,the orange just orbisculated,’” she recalls.“And he said,‘It did what ’” The two made a $5 bet,and Hilary confidently grabbed the family dictionary.But “orbisculate” is somehow not in the dictionary!
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Hilary burst into her dad’s study and told him the shocking news.He looked kind of embarrassed,and said he had made up this word in college and defined it as “When you dig your spoon into a grapefruit and it squirts juice directly into your eye.”.He had just been using it all the time.She was mad at his words but quickly came to see her dad’s made-up word as a gift,one that showed his creativity and inventive spirit.
Two decades later,Hilary found herself telling that funny story again and again.Her father,Neil Krieger,passed away in April 2020 at age 78.Then Hilary began to think that “orbisculate” is such a great word;it should be in the dictionary!
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Getting a word into the dictionary isn’t easy.Merriam-Webster adds only about 1,000 new words to its master database every year.Only words with a large and broad readership in publications can enter the dictionary.
Then Hilary,44,hatched a plan.She built a website and encouraged people to use the word publicly enough.Many friends and strangers are inspired.Some wear T-shirts with the word printed on them.Some use the word in an online crossword puzzle.Some even put a homemade orbisculation warning sign in a grocery store.

It has been three years since Neil’s death.Even if the word doesn’t make it into the dictionary,Hilary feels her effort to get her father’s word into the dictionary has helped her recapture a little of the joy that has been missing from their lives.

The English language is constantly evolving(演变),and there are a great number of words out there that don’t mean what they used to.We’re talking about common words that you use every day.We take them for granted,but at some point in history,their meanings totally changed,and they all originally meant something much different.
Generally speaking,the word “nice” is one with good meanings.However, back in the late 12th century,if someone said you were “nice”,it was far from nice.Way back when,“nice”was used to mean “foolish” and “stupid”.Later on in the 13th century,“nice” came to mean “shy”,and during the 14th century,it even meant “being careful”.But finally in the 18th century,it changed to the kinder definition we know today,and ever since then,people have been using it in a popular way.

All of us get sad every now and then.It’s a normal part of life.A loved one passes away,we get overlooked for that big promotion at work,or the grocery store is out of your favorite flavor of Hawaiian Punch.These are all things that can make us very sad.However,once upon a time,“sad” had a very different definition.Back in the 1300s,it was the perfect word if you’d eaten too much food at dinner.Through the years,the definition of “sad” changed to “heavy” and then “tired”,all before evolving into the word we use today.

“Awful” is perhaps the one word on this list that should have stuck with its original meaning.While today it means “bad” or “terrible”,“awful” used to mean “awe-inspiring” or “full of awe”.In other words,if something was “awful”,then it was worthy of respect or even fear.However,over the years, “awful” has come to have a completely opposite meaning.

In my primary school,we used to write a lot in Mrs.White’s class.There were many mistakes in my writings.But no red 1 .Instead,always a star.Sometimes 2 a “Good”!I would jump with joy at it.But this 3 my mother.She wanted to figure out why Mrs.White never 4 spelling or grammatical errors.Then one day she went to see her.
Mrs.White replied,“Children are just beginning to get 5 about using words,about forming sentences.I don’t want to 6 that enthusiasm or put any pressure on them with red ink.Spelling and grammar can wait,but the 7 of words won’t...” And maybe she didn’t say it 8 like that.But what’s for sure is that I grew up learning to use words with 9 confidence from her.

It occurs to me that if Mrs.White had used her red pen more 10 ,I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now.Looking back,I think she was such a(n) 11 teacher—to exercise “red-pen-restriction”.She allowed the joy,wonder and excitement of expression to come out.
In middle school,I used to 12 the word beautiful as “baeutiful”.Although “pretty” is 13 to spell,it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.So I told myself that if I was going to 14 the word,the least I could do was spell it right.Eventually,I made it.
And thanks to Mrs.White,I had no 15 when writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out.Because Life isn’t Pretty.It’s “Baeutiful”.

My name is Maeli.I am so lucky because I have Lizzy Jo.She is my cousin and my friend!
Yesterday our teacher brought out a big box just before the last bell rang.“I have a little gift for each of you,” she said.Then she gave each of us a perfect popcorn ball.Each popcorn ball was in a transparent bag that was tied with a ribbon(丝带).Just that little ribbon made the gift look so fancy!Sometimes,it’s the tiny details that make things special.

I happen to have a great appreciation for popcorn balls,so I was pleased. Lizzy Jo and I rode the bus home.The moment I was off the bus,I untied the ribbon and placed it into my pocket.Then I took the popcorn ball out of the plastic bag.I didn’t even stop walking.Unfortunately,my feet were in a big hurry to get home,and sometimes when feet are in a hurry,they trip.
My feet tripped.I fell.And my perfect popcorn ball dropped right into a yucky,murky puddle(水坑).I was okay,but my popcorn ball wasn’t.Have you ever seen a perfect popcorn ball in a yucky,murky puddle It isn’t something that you want to take a photo of and frame and keep forever.

I looked at my popcorn ball.That moment definitely was not the time to use the two-second rule,which I used at my grandma’s house last week.I accidentally dropped my cookie on her floor.I picked it up really fast,and I admitted that I ate that cookie.But this was a very different situation.This involved a puddle.
I wanted to cry.I knew that it’s silly to cry over a popcorn ball,but that popcorn ball was a gift!I was highly disappointed.

参考答案
Lizzy turned to give me a hug.She is never afraid to give a hug.Lizzy said to me,“It’s okay Maeli.We can get another popcorn ball or even make one ourselves.” Her kindness made me feel much better.We walked the rest of the way home together.When I got home,I took a shower,changed my clothes,and sat on my bed.My heart was still heavy.“What a waste!” I thought to myself. I decided to make a popcorn ball myself.It wouldn’t be as fancy as the teacher’s, but it would be something special that I created.

Later that night,looking at the “new” ball,I had an idea.I went to the kitchen and found the recipe printed on the back of the popcorn’s package.I followed the instructions carefully.When the time to shape the ball came,I carefully packed the popcorn together.I even added some chocolate sprinkles on top.The next day,Lizzy Jo and I took my homemade popcorn ball to school to show to our teacher.I was so proud and happy presenting it to her.And to my surprise, she was impressed! I felt accomplished,knowing that I had made something special on my own.
