Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.

B
In the 1970s, a new supermarket selling LPs arrived in my hometown and I began devoting my pocket money to acquiring records. I swiftly developed an affection for Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, harboring dreams of performing that music myself. Despite the absence of a piano at home, there was one at my grandmother’s care home, where I learned to play Beethoven by ear, with pigeons cooing and farmers working in the fields. It was truly magical.
Entering the Royal Academy of Arts at 16 marked the beginning of my artistic journey. In my 30s, I took another significant step in life-marriage. My wife worked at Elephants World, a reserve dedicated to the care of rescued domestic elephants. These elephants have worked for humans all their life and many are blind or disabled from being treated badly, so I wanted to make the effort to carry something heavy myself. For my 50th birthday, my wife successfully persuaded the manager to allow us to bring a piano into the reserve, bringing music to the elephants’ lives.
Initially, when I started playing, it was hard to hear the piano above the sounds of nature and the elephants chewing grass. However, everything changed when a blind elephant ceased eating and tuned into my playing. It struck me that this elephant, trapped in a world of darkness, had a profound love for music. From that moment on, there was no longer any concern about disturbing their peace. We occasionally film these performances, and now, we proudly have nearly 700,000 YouTube subscribers.
I continue to play for these elephants that run freely in the reserve, despite the constant potential danger. Surprisingly, it’s the moody male elephants who show the most fascination with the music. I firmly believe it has a calming effect. These elephants’ breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy. I’ve even witnessed elephants seemingly dancing to Beethoven’s tunes. With their exceptional hearing and the ability to sense vibrations (震动) through their feet, I am convinced that elephants grasp the language of human expression. This serves as a powerful illustration that music serves as a universal language, connecting us all.
4. What motivated the author’s early affection for music
A. Exposure to Beethoven’s music. B. Employment at Elephants World.
C. Attendance at the Royal Academy of Arts. D. Piano teaching at his grandma’s care home.
5. What did the author’s 50th birthday celebration symbolize
A. Personal achievements in music. B. A combination of music and care.
C. Successful fundraising for the reserve. D. Recognition for the author’s artistic journey.
6. What role did music play in the lives of the elephants in the reserve
A. Emotional recovery. B. Physical exercise.
C. Financial support. D. Artistic expression.
7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Save the Mistreated Elephants B. Connect the Elephants with Music
C. Play the Piano for Rescued Elephants D. Make the Hearing of Elephants Sharp
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C

(然而，当一头失明的大象停止进食，转而听我演奏时，一切都改变了。这只被困在黑暗世界里的大象对音乐有着深厚的热爱，这让我感到震惊。从那一刻起，再也不用担心会扰乱它们的安宁)”可知，作者50岁生日的时候，把一架钢琴带进保护区，为一生都在为人类工作然而很多却因受到恶劣对待而失明或残疾的大象演奏音乐，把音乐带到大象的生活中 ，作者通过演奏音乐来关怀这些大象；由此可推知，作者的50岁生日庆典象征着音乐与关怀的结合。故选B。

The world has changed greatly since Herman Fisher met Irving Price and Helen Schelle in 1930. The trio (三人组) founded Fisher-Price, maker of popular toy series such as Thomas & Friends, Power Wheels, and Little panies like Fisher-Price are exploring how the world of toys and parenting will change with the development of technology. Fisher-Price recently cooperated with Continuum, a global innovation designer. Together, they created a short video called The Future of Parenting, along with a short essay explaining the thoughts behind the video.
One thought of the video explores how parenting will change when the teens of today raised with data-providing devices such as Fitbit and iPad begin raising kids of their own. Is this a generation that will desire data in all of their kids’ toys The answer may be “yes” and perhaps the product appearing in the video will appeal to them.
If you interpret the video as a clear vision of the future of parenting, you won’t be blamed for fearing holograms (全息图) will take over your house as a mom or dad. The benefit of holograms in the video is their potential for giving traditional toys the ability to personalize responses, depending on the age and development of the child playing with the traditional toy.
Of course, you might ask yourself, “Do data-providing toys have an advantage over traditional toys in terms of their effects ” The answer may be negative. Lego, a traditional brick toy-maker, on all counts remains a successful company. And studies point out its toys’ benefits to children’s creativity. In addition, recent research demonstrates that toys containing data can potentially prevent language development, compared with traditional puzzles and bricks.
On the one hand, parents know that they should limit their kids’ screen time to keep them healthy, and the American Academy of Pediatrics offers guidance on daily screen time. On the other hand, technology can be wonderfully engaging and can provide excellent educational opportunities for children. Nothing is perfect and we should embrace every aspect of a new thing.
8. What are companies like Fisher-Price currently exploring
A. The impact of technological advances on toys and parenting.
B. The way to be an outstanding global innovation designer.
C. New ideas of making short videos of creative toys.
D. Techniques used to produce popular toy series.
9. According to the author, teenagers raised with data-providing devices may ___________.
A. be fond of devoting themselves to improving technology
B. be afraid of the negative impact of electronic toys
C. pass their preference for such toys on to their kids
D. show great creativity and imagination
10. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Advantages and disadvantages of modern technology.
B. Comparisons of the effects of two kinds of toys.
C. Suggestions on how to choose suitable toys.
D. Advances in technology used to make toys.
11. What does the author want to show at the end of the text
A. Love me, love my dog.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Everything is a two-edged sword.
D. Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C

In addition, recent research demonstrates that toys containing data can potentially prevent language development, compared with traditional puzzles and bricks. (当然，你可能会问自己，“提供数据的玩具在效果方面比传统玩具有优势吗？”答案可能是否定的。乐高，一家传统的积木玩具制造商，在所有方面仍然是一家成功的公司。研究指出，它的玩具对孩子的创造力有好处。此外，最近的研究表明，与传统的谜题和积木相比，含有数据的玩具可能会阻止语言发展)”可知，本段主要是关于两种不同类型玩具带来的影响之间的比较。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中“On the other hand, technology can be wonderfully engaging and can provide excellent educational opportunities for children.

D
Scenes of a comic character swelling up after eating peanuts in Western TV shows have long been puzzling for many Chinese viewers, as few people in China meet those who have a severe peanut allergy (过敏反应).
Their confusion can be explained by Chinese researchers in a new study that Chinese adults and children are more likely to be allergic to seafood, and less likely to be allergic to peanuts compared to people in the United States and Europe. “Animal-derived (动物源的) foods were the primary offending foods, especially shrimp, and skin symptoms were the most commonly reported unpleasant reactions,” said the study. The difference means that cultural, dietary, industrialization and biological factors can play an important role in food allergy patterns, it added.
Chen Hongbing a professor from the State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology at Nanchang University, who was involved in the study, said, “For instance, in a previous study on self-reported food allergies among children, seafood topped the list, followed by fish, eggs, fruits and milk.” However, some research also puts wheat as one of the most common allergy triggers among the general population, eggs and milk are considered the most common allergens among infants and young babies. Chen said more research is needed to address these discrepancies (差异性) and to determine if various dietary habits across China result in varied food sensitivity.
Luo Xiaoqun, a doctor who was not involved in the studies at Fudan University’s Huashan Hospital, said that the increasing rate of food allergies is a phenomenon observed worldwide, driven by changes in lifestyles, eating habits, as well as growing health awareness and diagnostic ability.
Reading allergen labeling on food packages is an easy way to protect consumers from potential allergy triggers. However, food allergen labeling in China is not obligated currently and labeling largely follows an international food regulations. “China has made improvements in devising food labeling standards in recent years, hopefully our findings can accelerate the process of making such labeling compulsory in the near future,” Chen said.
12. What’s the purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To introduce food people are commonly allergic to.
B. To make a comparison between different allergies.
C. To introduce a study about allergies.
D. To describe typical allergy symptoms.
13. Which of the following doesn’t affect food allergy patterns in the new study
A. eating habits. B. cultural factors
C. diagnostic ability D. biological factors
14. What does the underlined word “triggers” in paragraph 3 mean
A results B. patterns C. reactions D. causes
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. China has popularized food labeling in recent years.
B. The findings have speeded up the process of food labeling.
C. Professor Chen expects a promising future of food labeling.
D China makes no progress in making food labeling.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于过敏的研究，不同于欧美，中国人更易对海鲜而非花生过敏，显示饮食、文化等多重因素影响过敏模式。专家呼吁加强对食物过敏原的认识及完善标签规定，以应对全球食物过敏率上升趋势。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Scenes of a comic character swelling up after eating peanuts in Western TV shows have long been puzzling for many Chinese viewers, as few people in China meet those who have a severe peanut allergy.(在西方电视剧中，经常出现角色吃下花生后肿胀的场景，这让许多中国观众感到困惑，因为在现实中，中国人很少遇到患有严重花生过敏的人)”及第二段“Their confusion can be explained by Chinese researchers in a new study(中国研究人员在一项新的研究中可以解释他们的困惑)”可知，第一段通过描述中国人对西方电视节目中花生过敏场景的困惑引出了一项关于食物过敏的新研究，故第一段的目的是为了引出一项关于过敏的研究。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The difference means that cultural, dietary, industrialization and biological factors can play an important role in food allergy patterns, it added.(这种差异意味着文化、饮食、工业化和生物学因素在食物过敏模式中起着重要作用)”可知，饮食习惯、文化因素、和生物因素都会影响食物过敏模式，而C项“诊断能力”在文中并未提及。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词后“eggs and milk are considered the most common allergens among infants and young babies.(鸡蛋和牛奶则被认为是婴幼儿中最常见的过敏原)”可知，划线词所在句子应表达“一些研究还认为小麦是普通人群中最常见的过敏起因之一”，故划线词与D项“起因”意义相近。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““China has made improvements in devising food labeling standards in recent years, hopefully our findings can accelerate the process of making such labeling compulsory in the near future,” Chen said.(陈说：“近年来，中国在制定食品标签标准方面取得了进步，希望我们的研究结果能在不久的将来加快强制执行此类标签的进程”)”可知，陈教授期待食品标签的未来有着良好的发展前景。故选C项。

Zhou says, “Since games are welcomed by young people, we can make them familiar with traditional culture as they play. ___18___ ”
The trend toward combining games with cultural heritage started decades ago. ___19___ Traditional culture once served merely as a background to the gameplay, and failed to offer a detailed experience. Now the company digs out details and divides them into small sections, and focuses on their unique cultural points, so players can gain a deeper experience.

【导语】本文属于说明文。主要介绍了一种创新方式，即通过网络游戏使玩家接触和了解中国传统文化，旨在向年轻玩家及海外玩家传播中国文化。
【16题详解】
上文“This is one way for video games to enjoy the traditional Chinese culture without having to travel there.(这是无需亲临其境就能通过电子游戏享受中国传统文化的方式之一)”说明通过角色扮演的游戏方式只是通过游戏享受中国文化的其中一种方式，还会有更进一步的举措，下文“Perfect World Games, an online gaming company, recently invited a group of heritage experts including Chen Haitao, a designer from the Dunhuang Academy; and Zhou Xianguang, an inheritor of Longquan sword intangible(非物质的)cultural heritage—to Beijing to discuss new ways to promote traditional Chinese culture.(完美世界游戏，一家在线游戏公司，最近邀请了一批包括敦煌研究院设计师陈海涛、龙泉剑非物质文化遗产传承人周显光等遗产专家到北京讨论推广中国传统文化的新方法)”说明了游戏公司邀请文化遗产专家讨论新方式来推广中国传统文化的例子。空处承上启下，A项“不仅如此”既承接上文的通过电子游戏享受中国传统文化的方式之一，暗示有更多的例子或措施将会被提及，又引出下文的其他例子或影响，A项符合语境。故选A。
【17题详解】
上文“They kept the features of swords that were used during the Tang Dynasty but absorbed fairy and knight-themed elements from the game.(这些设计保留了唐代所用剑的特点，但吸收了源自游戏的仙侠和骑士主题元素)”说明了周先生为游戏设计的剑保留了唐代剑的特征并融入了游戏角色的元素，F项“Besides, some figures seen in Dunhuang’s wall paintings were also added to the mobile game.(另外，敦煌壁画中的一些人物形象也被植入该手机游戏中)”进一步阐述了游戏中如何融入传统文化元素，增加了游戏的文化深度，与上文形成递进关系，符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
上文“Since games are welcomed by young people, we can make them familiar with traditional culture as they play. (由于游戏受到年轻人的欢迎，我们可以在他们玩乐的同时，使他们熟悉传统文化)”说明通过游戏可以让年轻人在玩的同时熟悉传统文化，G项“这一做法拓宽了传播文化遗产知识的渠道”恰当地总结了这种做法的积极影响，即拓宽了文化传播途径，符合语境。故选G。

One morning, Father was helping Danny pack his bag for a holiday camp. “Do I really have to go, Father ” Danny asked hesitantly. “Son, sometimes the best lessons in life are learnt at camps,” Father encouraged. “But I never have the right words to say when talking to someone new,” Danny complained. “Alright, let’s make a deal. If you learn something good at this camp, this shall be the last holiday camp I sign you up for,” Father responded with a proposal. “Deal,” Danny replied.
Right after dinner on the first day at camp, everyone was busy packing their bags in preparation for the night walk. Danny headed to the canteen to get a bottle of iced tea. Just as Danny was about to secure the bottle cap, he was caught off-guard as someone suddenly brushed past him and hit his arm. The bottle slipped out of his hands and fell to the floor. Light brown liquid flowed out, creating ugly mess on the floor. Danny caught a flash of a boy in a green T-shirt running off into the distance. ”How rude!“ Danny shouted, gritting his teeth. “Not even an apology!”
Just then, Mr Halim, the camp guide, approached Danny. ”What are you doing here inste-“ he asked but stopped midway when he saw the mess on the floor. ”It wasn’t me!“ Danny raised his voice in his defence. ”You’ll fix this mess you created before we head out for the night walk,“ Mr Halim remarked, walking off in a hurry before Danny could explain himself.
“How unfortunate,” Danny thought to himself. “It wasn’t even my fault to begin with.” Getting down on his knees, he started wiping up the mess. Twenty minutes passed and the floor was dry. Danny managed to calm himself down and think clearly. He recalled how Father had given him a second chance when he broke his vase by mistake a week ago. Realizing that what had happened just now might have been an accident, Danny resolved to let the past rest.

【答案】范文
As Danny got up to leave, he saw the boy in the green T-shirt approaching him. ”You…You…“ Danny started. “Please don’t yell at me,” the boy begged. “Let me explain, I’m Siva. I felt bad for causing the spill earlier when I ran to get my torch for the night walk. I knew I had to make up for what I had done earlier. That’s why I’m here to say sorry,” he said sincerely. “Well, I was upset at first,” Danny admitted. “But not anymore. I figured you might not have done it on purpose,” he added. For a few brief moments, their gazes locked, and then they burst into laughter, understanding the mutual relief they felt. With this newfound friendship, they joyfully embarked on the night walk.
The next day when Father came to fetch Danny, he saw a cheerful Danny. Expecting to find a disheartened and defeated boy, he was pleasantly surprised to see Danny engaging in lively conversation with a boy in a green T-shirt, face radiating with joy and enthusiasm. Truly remarkable! As they drove home, Danny couldn’t contain his excitement, eagerly sharing stories about his newfound friend. “I had an amazing time and learned something truly valuable!” Danny exclaimed enthusiastically. With a teasing grin, Father replied, “Well done, lad! So, according to our initial deal, this camp is the last one, huh ” Danny shook his head vigorously, pleading eagerly for another trip to the camp.

While tea may have originated in Asia, now there are many countries all around the world that have tea woven into their food culture and traditions. This is one of the very special parts of tea as it has a way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies that finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is viewed as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich with history and tradition. Today, Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly consumed on both casual and formal occasions both for personal enjoyment and to represent Chinese cultural traditions.
Japanese tea culture
Japan also has a long history with tea,especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea that is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years became popular in Western culture.
British tea culture
When many people think about tea, British tea culture is what comes to mind. A hot cup of English Breakfast or Earl Grey tea serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a large part of Moroccan hospitality. Before any gathering, negotiation, or sale of a product, a pot of mint tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests. This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and hospitality, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.
1. Why can tea find its way into various food cultures
A. It originates in Asia. B. It forms different ceremonies.
C. It gets people connected easily. D. It allows people to sit together.
2. In which country may a cup of mint tea be served before negotiation
A. China. B. Japan. C. Britain. D. Morocco.
3. In which column (专栏) on social media may the text appear

In the 1970s, a new supermarket selling LPs arrived in my hometown and I began devoting my pocket money to acquiring records. I swiftly developed an affection for Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, harboring dreams of performing that music myself. Despite the absence of a piano at home, there was one at my grandmother’s care home, where I learned to play Beethoven by ear, with pigeons cooing and farmers working in the fields. It was truly magical.
Entering the Royal Academy of Arts at 16 marked the beginning of my artistic journey. In my 30s, I took another significant step in life-marriage. My wife worked at Elephants World, a reserve dedicated to the care of rescued domestic elephants. These elephants have worked for humans all their life and many are blind or disabled from being treated badly, so I wanted to make the effort to carry something heavy myself. For my 50th birthday, my wife successfully persuaded the manager to allow us to bring a piano into the reserve, bringing music to the elephants’ lives.
Initially, when I started playing, it was hard to hear the piano above the sounds of nature and the elephants chewing grass. However, everything changed when a blind elephant ceased eating and tuned into my playing. It struck me that this elephant, trapped in a world of darkness, had a profound love for music. From that moment on, there was no longer any concern about disturbing their peace. We occasionally film these performances, and now, we proudly have nearly 700,000 YouTube subscribers.
I continue to play for these elephants that run freely in the reserve, despite the constant potential danger. Surprisingly, it’s the moody male elephants who show the most fascination with the music. I firmly believe it has a calming effect. These elephants’ breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy. I’ve even witnessed elephants seemingly dancing to Beethoven’s tunes. With their exceptional hearing and the ability to sense vibrations (震动) through their feet, I am convinced that elephants grasp the language of human expression. This serves as a powerful illustration that music serves as a universal language, connecting us all.

The world has changed greatly since Herman Fisher met Irving Price and Helen Schelle in 1930. The trio (三人组) founded Fisher-Price, maker of popular toy series such as Thomas & Friends, Power Wheels, and Little panies like Fisher-Price are exploring how the world of toys and parenting will change with the development of technology. Fisher-Price recently cooperated with Continuum, a global innovation designer. Together, they created a short video called The Future of Parenting, along with a short essay explaining the thoughts behind the video.
One thought of the video explores how parenting will change when the teens of today raised with data-providing devices such as Fitbit and iPad begin raising kids of their own. Is this a generation that will desire data in all of their kids’ toys The answer may be “yes” and perhaps the product appearing in the video will appeal to them.
If you interpret the video as a clear vision of the future of parenting, you won’t be blamed for fearing holograms (全息图) will take over your house as a mom or dad. The benefit of holograms in the video is their potential for giving traditional toys the ability to personalize responses, depending on the age and development of the child playing with the traditional toy.
Of course, you might ask yourself, “Do data-providing toys have an advantage over traditional toys in terms of their effects ” The answer may be negative. Lego, a traditional brick toy-maker, on all counts remains a successful company. And studies point out its toys’ benefits to children’s creativity. In addition, recent research demonstrates that toys containing data can potentially prevent language development, compared with traditional puzzles and bricks.
On the one hand, parents know that they should limit their kids’ screen time to keep them healthy, and the American Academy of Pediatrics offers guidance on daily screen time. On the other hand, technology can be wonderfully engaging and can provide excellent educational opportunities for children. Nothing is perfect and we should embrace every aspect of a new thing.
8. What are companies like Fisher-Price currently exploring
A. The impact of technological advances on toys and parenting.
B. The way to be an outstanding global innovation designer.
C. New ideas of making short videos of creative toys.
D. Techniques used to produce popular toy series.
9. According to the author, teenagers raised with data-providing devices may ___________.
A. be fond of devoting themselves to improving technology
B. be afraid of the negative impact of electronic toys
C. pass their preference for such toys on to their kids
D. show great creativity and imagination
10. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Advantages and disadvantages of modern technology.
B. Comparisons of the effects of two kinds of toys.
C. Suggestions on how to choose suitable toys.
D. Advances in technology used to make toys.
11 What does the author want to show at the end of the text
A. Love me, love my dog.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Everything is a two-edged sword.
D. Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.
D
Scenes of a comic character swelling up after eating peanuts in Western TV shows have long been puzzling for many Chinese viewers, as few people in China meet those who have a severe peanut allergy (过敏反应).
Their confusion can be explained by Chinese researchers in a new study that Chinese adults and children are more likely to be allergic to seafood, and less likely to be allergic to peanuts compared to people in the United States and Europe. “Animal-derived (动物源的) foods were the primary offending foods, especially shrimp, and skin symptoms were the most commonly reported unpleasant reactions,” said the study. The difference means that cultural, dietary, industrialization and biological factors can play an important role in food allergy patterns, it added.
Chen Hongbing, a professor from the State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology at Nanchang University, who was involved in the study, said, “For instance, in a previous study on self-reported food allergies among children, seafood topped the list, followed by fish, eggs, fruits and milk.” However, some research also puts wheat as one of the most common allergy triggers among the general population, eggs and milk are considered the most common allergens among infants and young babies. Chen said more research is needed to address these discrepancies (差异性) and to determine if various dietary habits across China result in varied food sensitivity.
Luo Xiaoqun, a doctor who was not involved in the studies at Fudan University’s Huashan Hospital, said that the increasing rate of food allergies is a phenomenon observed worldwide, driven by changes in lifestyles, eating habits, as well as growing health awareness and diagnostic ability.
Reading allergen labeling on food packages is an easy way to protect consumers from potential allergy triggers. However, food allergen labeling in China is not obligated currently and labeling largely follows an international food regulations. “China has made improvements in devising food labeling standards in recent years, hopefully our findings can accelerate the process of making such labeling compulsory in the near future,” Chen said.
12. What’s the purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To introduce food people are commonly allergic to.
B. To make a comparison between different allergies.
C. To introduce a study about allergies.
D. To describe typical allergy symptoms.
13. Which of the following doesn’t affect food allergy patterns in the new study
A. eating habits. B. cultural factors
C. diagnostic ability D. biological factors
14. What does the underlined word “triggers” in paragraph 3 mean
A. results B. patterns C. reactions D. causes
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. China has popularized food labeling in recent years.
B. The findings have speeded up the process of food labeling.
C. Professor Chen expects a promising future of food labeling.
D. China makes no progress in making food labeling.

One morning, Father was helping Danny pack his bag for a holiday camp. “Do I really have to go, Father ” Danny asked hesitantly. “Son, sometimes the best lessons in life are learnt at camps,” Father encouraged. “But I never have the right words to say when talking to someone new,” Danny complained. “Alright, let’s make a deal. If you learn something good at this camp, this shall be the last holiday camp I sign you up for,” Father responded with a proposal. “Deal,” Danny replied.
Right after dinner on the first day at camp, everyone was busy packing their bags in preparation for the night walk. Danny headed to the canteen to get a bottle of iced tea. Just as Danny was about to secure the bottle cap, he was caught off-guard as someone suddenly brushed past him and hit his arm. The bottle slipped out of his hands and fell to the floor. Light brown liquid flowed out, creating ugly mess on the floor. Danny caught a flash of a boy in a green T-shirt running off into the distance. ”How rude!“ Danny shouted, gritting his teeth. “Not even an apology!”
Just then, Mr Halim, the camp guide, approached Danny. ”What are you doing here inste-“ he asked but stopped midway when he saw the mess on the floor. ”It wasn’t me!“ Danny raised his voice in his defence. ”You’ll fix this mess you created before we head out for the night walk,“ Mr Halim remarked, walking off in a hurry before Danny could explain himself.
“How unfortunate,” Danny thought to himself. “It wasn’t even my fault to begin with.” Getting down on his knees, he started wiping up the mess. Twenty minutes passed and the floor was dry. Danny managed to calm himself down and think clearly. He recalled how Father had given him a second chance when he broke his vase by mistake a week ago. Realizing that what had happened just now might have been an accident, Danny resolved to let the past rest.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
