When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble—a word game—against herself I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against.
I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’ home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers.
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’d taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She had been the one teaching me all my life: to cook and sew, to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.
It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing. This proved to be a bigger challenge to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.
“Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils ” she asked
“No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.”
My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy. For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in the past 20 years.
4. Why did the author decide to give her mother a computer
A. To help her through the bad times.
B. To make her life more enjoyable.
C. To support her in doing her homework.
D. To let her have more chances to write letters.
5. What does the author do according to the text
A. She is a teacher. B. She is a cook.
C. She is a housewife. D. She is a computer engineer.
6. Why did the author ask her mother to write her a letter
A. To keep in touch with her mother.
B. To free her mother from heavy housework.
C. To practice what her mother had learned.
D. To prevent her mother from using the telephone.
7. What happened to the author’s father after the computer was brought home
A. He played even more games. B. He became skilled at it.
C. He lost interest in cooking. D. He took more phone calls.
C
According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.
The farm animals, which are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel (新奇的).
The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society: Open Science, shows the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.
First, the sheep were trained to get close to certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle.
“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are smart individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”
Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, have a bad effect on this ability.
“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington's disease, which develop over a long time and influence cognitive (认知的) abilities. Our study gives us another way to study how these abilities change.” Morton said.
8. According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep
A. They have large brains.
B. They can recognize their owners.
C. They can recognize human faces from photographs.
D. They know the differences between animals and humans.
9. How did the researchers train the sheep
A. By giving food rewards.
B. By showing photos of famous people.
C. By guiding them to follow their handlers.
D. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.
10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Sheep are more clever than monkeys.
B. The new discovery is helpful to study cognitive ability changes.
C. The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent brain disorders.
D. The face-recognition ability is the most important skill for sheep.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. It discusses the life of sheep.
B. It’s about a wonderful scientist.
C It tells us a new discovery about sheep.
D. It shows how sheep recognize human faces.
D
E-waste
The Republic of Korea is dealing with increasing totals of waste from electronic products - “e-waste”.
Now, some local governments in the Republic of Korea are starting special e-waste recycling programs. The city of Seoul throws out about 10 tons of e-waste each year. About 20 percent of that goes to the Seoul Resource (资源) Center, also known as the SR Center. There, electronic products are taken apart so that valuable metals like gold or copper can be extracted (提取) and reused. Korean officials say it is a $3.8 billion-dollar industry.
Ji Un-geun is the CEO of the SR Center. He says reusing electronic parts is not only about making money and the final goal of this program is to protect the environment. He says, “our planet has a limited total of natural resources. Our company contributes to an eco-friendly society by saving these materials.”
The Seoul city government partnered with the SR Center to collect e-waste. Lee Tae-hong lives in the city of Seoul. He says reusing electronic parts is also about protecting personal information from attack. He says, “If electronic products like phones are not taken apart and reused, then they could illegally end up in other countries, and personal information could be stolen.”
Koreans keep buying more and more electronic products. And in general, every Korean buys a new mobile phone every 18 months. Lee Joo-hong is with Green Consumers (消费者) Net-work. He says, “People change their phones so quickly partially because companies offer special deals to buy new products. And Korean consumers do not want to feel left out by not having the latest model.”
Ji Un-geun says that consumer behavior is a big reason why old phones continue to appear at the recycling center. But he says he is doing his part to reduce that. He says, “I have had this same phone for 10 years. It is what I can do to help protect our natural resources.”
12. We can learn that the final aim of the SR Center’s program is to ________.
A. extract valuable metals from e-waste
B. make more money from reusing metals
C. recycle natural resources at a lower price
D. protect the environment from being polluted
13. According to Lee Joo-hong, Koreans like to buy new phones to ________.
A. experience a green life B. keep up with the latest fashion
C. show off their wealth to neighbors D. get more money from the companies
14. Ji Un-geun has used the same phone for ten years because ________.
A. he can’t afford to buy a new one B. he has a habit of using old things
C. he tries to help save natural resources D. he stores all his information in the phone
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Koreans collect metals from e-waste.
B Koreans attempt to reuse more e-waste.
C. Koreans change their phones many times.
D. Koreans waste too many electronic products.

Years ago, my daughter Hope was in a forth grade class with a group of children neighbourhood. Most of the children in Hope’s class had at least one parent working in a factory. Hope loved her class and often told me stories of her classmates, including a boy named Robert who was in trouble a lot. He always stood in the corner for poor behavior in class. I volunteered to act as “the classroom mom”, meaning brought snacks and planned parties and special outings for her class, even though I worked full-time as a social worker.
One day I saw Robert standing in the corner and asked the teacher if he could join our Mother’s Day party. She refused, saying he needed to learn a lesson. I wasn’t sure what he had done to make the teacher place him in the corner, but I felt sad for him as we ate cakes and played games while he continued to face the corner. After the party, I asked Hope what was wrong with Robert. “It seemed that he went to school only for basketball. He didn’t listen to our teacher in class and he talked back. If you were his mother, I bet he wouldn’t talk back,” Hope said. I knew Robert’s smother worked long hours in the paper-making factory. I knew she was a good woman, who found it hard to care for her four children alone. She tried her best, but I was sure there were days when she felt hopeless and was unable to manage it.
Hope said Robert often got angry in class when he didn’t know the answer to a question and couldn’t read as well as the other children. Hope’s words struck me and made me think about whether I could help Robert on a one-to-one basis. His teacher allowed me to come two days a week during my lunch break and help Robert with reading. We read second grade-level books, the highest level he could master.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Slowly he began to master these books, almost enjoying them.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the end of the fourth grade, Robert and his classmates took the final exams.

【答案】Dear Brown,
I am sorry to find that there is an increasing food waste in our school, because many students take more food than they can finish. Therefore, I’m writing to give some advice on how to solve this problem.
First, it’s more than necessary for our school to check the students’ performance, and give some prizes and praise. Additionally, some relevant activities are expected to be held such as class meetings on the theme, and social practical activities like working on a farm.
I hope my suggestions could be helpful for building a harmonious campus.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Years ago, my daughter Hope was in a forth grade class with a group of children neighbourhood. Most of the children in Hope’s class had at least one parent working in a factory. Hope loved her class and often told me stories of her classmates, including a boy named Robert who was in trouble a lot. He always stood in the corner for poor behavior in class. I volunteered to act as “the classroom mom”, meaning brought snacks and planned parties and special outings for her class, even though I worked full-time as a social worker.
One day I saw Robert standing in the corner and asked the teacher if he could join our Mother’s Day party. She refused, saying he needed to learn a lesson. I wasn’t sure what he had done to make the teacher place him in the corner, but I felt sad for him as we ate cakes and played games while he continued to face the corner. After the party, I asked Hope what was wrong with Robert. “It seemed that he went to school only for basketball. He didn’t listen to our teacher in class and he talked back. If you were his mother, I bet he wouldn’t talk back,” Hope said. I knew Robert’s smother worked long hours in the paper-making factory. I knew she was a good woman, who found it hard to care for her four children alone. She tried her best, but I was sure there were days when she felt hopeless and was unable to manage it.
Hope said Robert often got angry in class when he didn’t know the answer to a question and couldn’t read as well as the other children. Hope’s words struck me and made me think about whether I could help Robert on a one-to-one basis. His teacher allowed me to come two days a week during my lunch break and help Robert with reading. We read second grade-level books, the highest level he could master.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Slowly he began to master these books, almost enjoying them.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the end of the fourth grade, Robert and his classmates took the final exams.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Slowly he began to master these books, almost enjoying them. I also found that his thinking became more and more flexible and his learning became more and more focused. One day, when Hope came back from school, she felt very excited and a little incredible to tell me that Robert answered the teacher’s question very carefully and correctly. The teacher praised him and asked him to continue his efforts. At lunchtime the next day, when I saw Robert again, I found that he was extraordinarily happy, and his eyes flashed with excitement. Our reading task was completed smoothly. After that day, I raised the difficulty of reading for him, and gradually reached the level of grade 3 and grade 4. His performance is much better than I expected.
At the end of the fourth grade, Robert and his classmates took the final exams. After the exam, he came to our house with Hope. He told me that he thought he did well in the exam, better than ever before. I told him with a smile, “I believe you, you are a smart child, and you will become better in the future, not only in learning.” A blush flashed on his face. He came forward and hugged me, saying gently, “thank you, thank you...” I also hugged him and patted him gently on the back. I can understand his mood at the moment. No matter what the result of this exam is, I think this child’s life will become different in the future.

When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble—a word game—against herself I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against.
I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’ home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers.
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’d taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She had been the one teaching me all my life: to cook and sew, to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.
It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing. This proved to be a bigger challenge to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.
“Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils ” she asked
“No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.”
My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy. For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in the past 20 years.
4. Why did the author decide to give her mother a computer
A. To help her through the bad times.
B. To make her life more enjoyable.
C. To support her in doing her homework.
D. To let her have more chances to write letters.
5. What does the author do according to the text
A. She is a teacher. B. She is a cook.
C. She is a housewife. D. She is a computer engineer.
6. Why did the author ask her mother to write her a letter
A. To keep in touch with her mother.
B. To free her mother from heavy housework.
C. To practice what her mother had learned.
D. To prevent her mother from using the telephone.
7. What happened to the author’s father after the computer was brought home
A. He played even more games. B. He became skilled at it.
C. He lost interest in cooking. D. He took more phone calls.
C
According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.
The farm animals, which are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel (新奇的).
The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society: Open Science, shows the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.
First, the sheep were trained to get close to certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle.
“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are smart individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”
Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, have a bad effect on this ability.
“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington's disease, which develop over a long time and influence cognitive (认知的) abilities. Our study gives us another way to study how these abilities change.” Morton said.
8. According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep
A. They have large brains.
B. They can recognize their owners.
C. They can recognize human faces from photographs.
D. They know the differences between animals and humans.
9. How did the researchers train the sheep
A. By giving food rewards.
B. By showing photos of famous people.
C. By guiding them to follow their handlers.
D. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.
10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Sheep are more clever than monkeys.
B. The new discovery is helpful to study cognitive ability changes.
C. The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent brain disorders.
D. The face-recognition ability is the most important skill for sheep.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. It discusses the life of sheep.
B. It’s about a wonderful scientist.
C It tells us a new discovery about sheep.
D. It shows how sheep recognize human faces.
D
E-waste
The Republic of Korea is dealing with increasing totals of waste from electronic products - “e-waste”.
Now, some local governments in the Republic of Korea are starting special e-waste recycling programs. The city of Seoul throws out about 10 tons of e-waste each year. About 20 percent of that goes to the Seoul Resource (资源) Center, also known as the SR Center. There, electronic products are taken apart so that valuable metals like gold or copper can be extracted (提取) and reused. Korean officials say it is a $3.8 billion-dollar industry.
Ji Un-geun is the CEO of the SR Center. He says reusing electronic parts is not only about making money and the final goal of this program is to protect the environment. He says, “our planet has a limited total of natural resources. Our company contributes to an eco-friendly society by saving these materials.”
The Seoul city government partnered with the SR Center to collect e-waste. Lee Tae-hong lives in the city of Seoul. He says reusing electronic parts is also about protecting personal information from attack. He says, “If electronic products like phones are not taken apart and reused, then they could illegally end up in other countries, and personal information could be stolen.”
Koreans keep buying more and more electronic products. And in general, every Korean buys a new mobile phone every 18 months. Lee Joo-hong is with Green Consumers (消费者) Net-work. He says, “People change their phones so quickly partially because companies offer special deals to buy new products. And Korean consumers do not want to feel left out by not having the latest model.”
Ji Un-geun says that consumer behavior is a big reason why old phones continue to appear at the recycling center. But he says he is doing his part to reduce that. He says, “I have had this same phone for 10 years. It is what I can do to help protect our natural resources.”
12. We can learn that the final aim of the SR Center’s program is to ________.
A. extract valuable metals from e-waste
B. make more money from reusing metals
C. recycle natural resources at a lower price
D. protect the environment from being polluted
13. According to Lee Joo-hong, Koreans like to buy new phones to ________.
A. experience a green life B. keep up with the latest fashion
C. show off their wealth to neighbors D. get more money from the companies
14. Ji Un-geun has used the same phone for ten years because ________.
A. he can’t afford to buy a new one B. he has a habit of using old things
C. he tries to help save natural resources D. he stores all his information in the phone
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Koreans collect metals from e-waste.
B Koreans attempt to reuse more e-waste.
C. Koreans change their phones many times.
D. Koreans waste too many electronic products.

I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’ home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers.
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’d taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She had been the one teaching me all my life: to cook and sew, to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.
It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing. This proved to be a bigger challenge to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.
“Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils ” she asked.
“No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.”
My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy. For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in the past 20 years.

According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.
The farm animals, which are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel (新奇的).
The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society: Open Science, shows the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.
First, the sheep were trained to get close to certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle.
“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are smart individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”
Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, have a bad effect on this ability.
“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington's disease, which develop over a long time and influence cognitive (认知的) abilities. Our study gives us another way to study how these abilities change.” Morton said.
8. According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep
A. They have large brains.
B. They can recognize their owners.
C. They can recognize human faces from photographs.
D. They know the differences between animals and humans.
9. How did the researchers train the sheep
A. By giving food rewards.
B. By showing photos of famous people.
C. By guiding them to follow their handlers.
D. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.
10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Sheep are more clever than monkeys.
B. The new discovery is helpful to study cognitive ability changes.
C. The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent brain disorders.
D. The face-recognition ability is the most important skill for sheep.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. It discusses the life of sheep.
B. It’s about a wonderful scientist.
C. It tells us a new discovery about sheep.
D. It shows how sheep recognize human faces.

E-waste
The Republic of Korea is dealing with increasing totals of waste from electronic products - “e-waste”.
Now, some local governments in the Republic of Korea are starting special e-waste recycling programs. The city of Seoul throws out about 10 tons of e-waste each year. About 20 percent of that goes to the Seoul Resource (资源) Center, also known as the SR Center. There, electronic products are taken apart so that valuable metals like gold or copper can be extracted (提取) and reused. Korean officials say it is a $3.8 billion-dollar industry.
Ji Un-geun is the CEO of the SR Center. He says reusing electronic parts is not only about making money and the final goal of this program is to protect the environment. He says, “our planet has a limited total of natural resources. Our company contributes to an eco-friendly society by saving these materials.”
The Seoul city government partnered with the SR Center to collect e-waste. Lee Tae-hong lives in the city of Seoul. He says reusing electronic parts is also about protecting personal information from attack. He says, “If electronic products like phones are not taken apart and reused, then they could illegally end up in other countries, and personal information could be stolen.”
Koreans keep buying more and more electronic products. And in general, every Korean buys a new mobile phone every 18 months. Lee Joo-hong is with Green Consumers (消费者) Net-work. He says, “People change their phones so quickly partially because companies offer special deals to buy new products. And Korean consumers do not want to feel left out by not having the latest model.”
Ji Un-geun says that consumer behavior is a big reason why old phones continue to appear at the recycling center. But he says he is doing his part to reduce that. He says, “I have had this same phone for 10 years. It is what I can do to help protect our natural resources.”
12. We can learn that the final aim of the SR Center’s program is to ________.
A. extract valuable metals from e-waste
B. make more money from reusing metals
C. recycle natural resources at a lower price
D. protect the environment from being polluted
13. According to Lee Joo-hong, Koreans like to buy new phones to ________.
A. experience a green life B. keep up with the latest fashion
C. show off their wealth to neighbors D. get more money from the companies
14. Ji Un-geun has used the same phone for ten years because ________.
A. he can’t afford to buy a new one B. he has a habit of using old things
C. he tries to help save natural resources D. he stores all his information in the phone
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Koreans collect metals from e-waste.
B. Koreans attempt to reuse more e-waste.
C. Koreans change their phones many times.
D. Koreans waste too many electronic products.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B

【答案】Dear Brown,
I am sorry to find that there is an increasing food waste in our school, because many students take more food than they can finish. Therefore, I’m writing to give some advice on how to solve this problem.
First, it’s more than necessary for our school to check the students’ performance, and give some prizes and praise. Additionally, some relevant activities are expected to be held such as class meetings on the theme, and social practical activities like working on a farm.
I hope my suggestions could be helpful for building a harmonious campus.
Yours,
Li Hua
六．读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Years ago, my daughter Hope was in a forth grade class with a group of children neighbourhood. Most of the children in Hope’s class had at least one parent working in a factory. Hope loved her class and often told me stories of her classmates, including a boy named Robert who was in trouble a lot. He always stood in the corner for poor behavior in class. I volunteered to act as “the classroom mom”, meaning brought snacks and planned parties and special outings for her class, even though I worked full-time as a social worker.
One day I saw Robert standing in the corner and asked the teacher if he could join our Mother’s Day party. She refused, saying he needed to learn a lesson. I wasn’t sure what he had done to make the teacher place him in the corner, but I felt sad for him as we ate cakes and played games while he continued to face the corner. After the party, I asked Hope what was wrong with Robert. “It seemed that he went to school only for basketball. He didn’t listen to our teacher in class and he talked back. If you were his mother, I bet he wouldn’t talk back,” Hope said. I knew Robert’s smother worked long hours in the paper-making factory. I knew she was a good woman, who found it hard to care for her four children alone. She tried her best, but I was sure there were days when she felt hopeless and was unable to manage it.
Hope said Robert often got angry in class when he didn’t know the answer to a question and couldn’t read as well as the other children. Hope’s words struck me and made me think about whether I could help Robert on a one-to-one basis. His teacher allowed me to come two days a week during my lunch break and help Robert with reading. We read second grade-level books, the highest level he could master.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Slowly he began to master these books, almost enjoying them.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the end of the fourth grade, Robert and his classmates took the final exams.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Slowly he began to master these books, almost enjoying them. I also found that his thinking became more and more flexible and his learning became more and more focused. One day, when Hope came back from school, she felt very excited and a little incredible to tell me that Robert answered the teacher’s question very carefully and correctly. The teacher praised him and asked him to continue his efforts. At lunchtime the next day, when I saw Robert again, I found that he was extraordinarily happy, and his eyes flashed with excitement. Our reading task was completed smoothly. After that day, I raised the difficulty of reading for him, and gradually reached the level of grade 3 and grade 4. His performance is much better than I expected.
At the end of the fourth grade, Robert and his classmates took the final exams. After the exam, he came to our house with Hope. He told me that he thought he did well in the exam, better than ever before. I told him with a smile, “I believe you, you are a smart child, and you will become better in the future, not only in learning.” A blush flashed on his face. He came forward and hugged me, saying gently, “thank you, thank you...” I also hugged him and patted him gently on the back. I can understand his mood at the moment. No matter what the result of this exam is, I think this child’s life will become different in the future.
