At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed, only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”

This summer, I went to Sports Camp with my little brother, Charlie. When we hiked to the pond, I was the only one who didn’t jump in. “Can’t you swim, Brandon ” asked Henry. I can, but after you’ve seen pond water under a microscope（显微镜）, you’re less eager to cool off in it.
Tonight after sundown, we’re playing Capture the Flag. The campers are divided into two teams, Blue and Red. Each team hides a flag, then has an hour to find and take the other team’s flag. Charlie and I are on the Blue team. When Kenneth, our team captain, asks who wants to scout out the Red flag. My brother raises his hand.
Charlie goes with a bunch of boys from our team. The rest of us stay behind to guard our flag, which we’ve hidden in a nearby tree. Soon, Charlie is back, his face as red as paint. “All the others were caught. But I saw their flag!” he pants. “Inside the door of the director’s cabin!”
Kenneth waves us over. “Time’s running out. Any ideas ”
“I’ll stay with Charlie and Isaiah and guard our flag,” offers Henry.
Kenneth points to Marshall and me. “let’s go.” he says.
We run through the woods. Unluckily, two boys from the Red team noticed Kenneth and Marshall, and they were caught. I hide behind a tree and try to figure out which cabin is the director’s.
A whistle sounds, and my heart beats fast. Only five minutes left! No time to check every cabin. Which one is the right one Suddenly, I smell something familiar. The director’s after-shave! I’m sure of it.
I climb up the steps and open the door. The flag!
“Get him!” Someone shouts.
I grab the flag and race for our home base. Two boys from the Red team are right behind me. I reach our home base just before I hear the final whistle blow loud and long. Blue wins!

At some point, something will have to be done about the stuffed toys （毛绒玩具）. I haven’t counted them because, truthfully, I’m not prepared to know how many there are. Lately, our neighborhood’s message boards are filled with posts about parents trying to make space, to clear out the things their kids no longer need. The tone of some of these posts can best be described as “emergency”. “Help!” they sometimes begin. “I have to get this out of my house.”
“The proliferation （激增） of children’s toys is the outcome of a long, gradual cultural change,” says Gary Cross, a professor at Pennsylvania State University. To understand how we got here — drowning （淹没于） in all those stuffed toys and bricks —it helps to look as far back as the late 19th century. “Parents were no longer passing their jobs on to the children,” Cross says. “Instead, they connect across generations through the gifting process. From the early 20th century on, goods became the things that define relationships between family members, and the way of marking success as a family.”
Then, how can parents deal with the proliferation of children’s toys at home Naeemah Ford Goldson, a professional organizer, is also a mom of two. In her own home, Goldson likes to include her kids in the work of sorting out their toys. They know that the items they don’t need anymore will be given to people who can use them, to families who might not be as fortunate as theirs. “Doing so helps them build those habits of letting go,” she says, “so then they don’t become adults who are too dependent on material things instead of experiences, or people, and the memories we make with people.”
Her idea made sense. She told her 5-year-old they should pick some to give to kids in their community who came from another country and had to leave their toys behind. She immediately took a pink bear from the pile.
32．Why does the author present the posts in paragraph 1
A．To show the popularity of children’s toys.
B．To offer suggestions about choosing children’s toys.
C．To praise the role of social media in buying children’s toys.
D．To introduce the influence too many children’s toys bring about.
33．What has caused the huge increase of children’s toys according to 2 0 00Cross
A．Children’s demands.
B．The growth of technology.
C．The traditions in the 18th century.
D．The practice of gifting among family members.
34．What does Goldson do to avoid too many. toys
A．Involve her kids in organizing toys. B．Put away toys for her kids.
C．Buy her kids fewer toys. D．Sell unwanted toys to neighbors.
35．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．The Rise of Toy Stores in Neighborhoods B．The Importance of Choosing Proper Gifts
C．The Challenge of Managing Children’s Toys D．The Joy of Collecting Children’s Toys

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。
It was the most beautiful motorbike and the first of its kind in the neighborhood, a magic blue one with two smart rear view mirrors. It belonged to Ranjan’s uncle. Overnight, Ranjan had become a prince among us boys.
We surrounded him the next day, wanting to learn more details. Ranjan’s uncle had come from Bombay, riding the new motorbike. Every afternoon when he slept, we would gather around the blue bike, admiring it. Sometimes Ranjan managed to take not his uncle’s red helmet（头盔）. We would wear it in turn and sit on the bike, imagining starting it and being off. In the evenings, we watched Ranjan go out for a ride with his uncle and our eyes were filled with envy（羡慕）.
One Monday morning I was struggling with the homework when Ranjan whispered in my ear, “I am learning to ride it, Tony.” “What ” I doubted. “I will show you this afternoon.” Ranjan sounded confident.
Ranjan, like the rest of us, knew everything about the motorbike, every part of it. But to ride it was another story. Like all grown-ups, his uncle had this belief that fourteen-year-old could not ride things like motorbikes. It is unfair really.
The big moment came at last. After lunch, I came to meet Ranjan, who appeared at the gate seconds later, wearing the red helmet. Noiselessly, he wheeled the bike out of the gate. He looked around carefully, pushed it down the road, and started it. “Get on, boy!” I felt excited as I climbed onto the back seat, but still could not believe that he could ride it. “Ready ” Ranjan shouted. “Yeah. What are you waiting for ”
We were off. The road was nearly empty and we were moving smoothly. I had a look at the speedometer （速度计）: 30 kmph. How cool it was!
