Crazy-Creative Traditions in Schools
Here are a few schools’ crazy-creative traditions that will probably have you wish to go there so you could celebrate in all the graduation fun. Learn about them all in the below.
Attire (服装) and Flowers at College of Charleston
You fashionista will love this one. During December ceremony, women wear black dresses and men wear black tuxedos (燕尾服). During May ceremony, women wear white dresses and men wear summer tuxedos. It’s also been a tradition since the 1930s to carry flowers onto the stage: women carry bouquets of six red roses in a red bow and men wear a single red rose boutonniere (扣眼). So classy!
Hoop Rolling at Wellesley College
This all-women’s college tradition was originally held on May day, but it’s now held in April. The purpose was to allow students to essentially leave all their worries behind and just participate in some fun games outdoors. Back in the day, it was said that the winner of the hoop rolling race was the first to be married, and in the 1980s she would be the first to be CEO. Nowadays, the winner would be the first to achieve her own happiness…that is, after being thrown into Lake Waban by all her classmates.
Fabric and Green Grad Recycling Program at University of New Hampshire
You’ll absolutely love this tradition. UNH’s vendor provides wrinkle-resistant caps and gowns made of recycled plastic bottles. Graduates then have the opportunity to donate their gowns to be cleaned and reused. Graduates are still able to keep their caps and tassels as keepsakes, all while helping to save the environment. The tradition has become a trend for many universities to follow, such as Husson University and Wake Forest University.
1. Which can you choose if you want to participate in December ceremony
A. College of Charleston. B. Wellesley College.
C. The University of New Hampshire. D. Husson University.
2. What does Hoop Rolling at Wellesley College aim at enabling the students to do
A. Be CEO. B. Have fun.
C. Achieve happiness. D. Be married.

Imagine that you’re the creator and show runner of the newest comedy show on television. Only it isn’t so popular yet, and your live Studio audience isn’t giving you the big laughs the show deserves. Do you film the show all over again, hoping that this time the audience will laugh Or is there another option for making a joke sound funnier than it was received
Sweeten(改善) the sound by adding a laugh track! “Sweetening,” or the addition of sound effects such as laughs, screams, and other audience-produced noises to the audio track of a TV show, has been used since the 1940s to produce the appearance, or rather the sound, of an engaged and entertained response to a show’s comedy. Laugh tracks came into existence as not only a solution, and sometimes replacement, for an unengaged live audience but also as a way to engage an at-home audience into a more-traditional, public, and theaterlike experience. Adding a laugh track to a television show makes the viewers at home feel much less like they’re sitting on a couch staring at the television screen and much more like they’re in a room full of laughing happy people to varying degrees of success.
Though the art of sweetening has risen and fallen in popularity over the past 60 years, credit for its creation and continued use is owed to laugh-track pioneer and sound engineer Charles Douglass. Douglass was the first to develop, in 1953, a machine for producing “canned laughter”, accessible at the push of a button or pull of a lever (操纵杆). Despite being artificial, sensibly edited laugh tracks are found by television studios to bring about a positive audience response, as their use is usually accompanied by higher ratings and increased audience memory. Though some television audiences may disagree with the value of the laugh track, the cheerful and repetitive sound holds a permanent place in the history and future of television comedy.
4. The author uses the first paragraph to .
A. introduce the topic “sweetening”
B. seek solutions for the problem
C. point out a way of making comedies
D. arouse readers’ interest in comedies
5. What effect does a laugh track produce
A. The creation of a show.
B. Funnier sound in a show,
C. More engaged live audience
D. Communication among TV viewers.
6. What’s the author’s attitude towards the use of the laugh track
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Neutral (中立的). D. Uncertain,
7 What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The reason for using laugh tracks.
B. The brief history of laugh tracks.
C. The development of TV comedies.
D. The way to improve television shows.
C
“We’ve had lots of experience with ceramic (陶瓷) materials that can be used for fuel cells for quite some time,” says Alexander Schmid from the Institute for Chemical Technologies and Analytics at TU Wien. “That gave us the idea of investigating whether such materials might also be suitable for making a battery.”
The ceramic materials that the TU Wien team studied can absorb and release doubly negatively charged oxygen ions. When an electric voltage (电压) is applied, the oxygen ions move from one ceramic material to another, after which they can be made to go back again, thus producing electric current.
“Our materials have some significant advantages.” says Prof. Jürgen Fleig. Ceramics aren’t flammable, so fire accidents, which occur time and again with lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries, are practically ruled out. In addition, there is no need for rare chemicals, which are expensive or can only be gained in an environmentally harmful way.
“In this respect, the use of ceramic materials is a great advantage because they can be adapted very well,” says a researcher. “You can replace certain chemicals that are difficult to obtain with others relatively easily.”
“Many batteries can no longer be used to produce electricity after many charging cycles, and the ability of the battery decreases, which can become a serious problem.” says Alexander Schmid.
The oxygen-ion battery, however, can be reused without any problems: If oxygen is lost due to side reactions, then the loss can simply be made up for by oxygen from the surrounding air, which is the most important advantage.
The new battery concept is not intended for smartphones or electric cars, because the oxygen-ion battery only achieves about a third the energy density of lithium-ion batteries and runs at temperatures between 200℃ and 400℃. “If you need a large energy storage unit to temporarily store solar or wind energy, for example, the oxygen-ion battery could be an excellent solution,” says Alexander Schmid.
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning ceramic materials
A. Their potential uses.
B. Their typical styles.
C. Their unique characteristics.
D. Their various applications.
9. What’s the biggest advantage of the new battery
A. Small sizes. B. Free of pollution.
C. Long service life. D. Multiple functions.
10. What can we use the new battery to do
A. Power the smartphones. B. Store energy temporarily.
C. Replace ordinary batteries. D. Settle temperature problems.
11. What is the text
A. A book review.
B. A biography.
C. A short story.
D. A science report.

Mirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding. It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.
The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you see someone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also pretty contagious — seeing a smile person makes you want to smile too.
Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you or I feel the same.” Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other. Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That’s why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.
Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with others, mirror their gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.
While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you are mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as rude. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.
12. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean
A. 吸引人的. B. 受人影响的.
C. 传染的. D. 温柔的.
13. What can we know about women from the research
A. They don’t like mirroring others.
B. They are naturally gifted in building trust.
C. They tend to have more close friends.
D. They are good at understanding body language.
14. What is the author’s attitude to the behavior of mirroring the boss
A. Curious. B. Supportive. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. The Excellent Method of Mirroring
B. The Common Forms of Mirroring
C. Nonverbal Communication: A Special Bond
D. Mirroring Body Language: A Useful Tool

Twenty-year-old young man Hunter Shamatt took a Frontier flight from Omaha to attend his sister’s wedding in Las Vegas earlier this month. He fell asleep during the flight. When the plane landed, he hurriedly collected his belongings and got out of the plane.
Later when he was ready to buy something to drink, he found his wallet nowhere. Besides $ 60 in cash in the wallet, there was his ID, a signed paycheck, and his debit card（借记卡），which were important to Hunter Shamatt.
Upon realizing that his wallet was lost, he contacted the airline to see if anyone had turned it in. But there was no luck. He thought it was gone forever.
Shortly after the flight, however, Hunter was surprised to receive a package in the mail from a sender who left no name. Inside was his wallet-along with an additional $ 40 in cash.
“Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver-row 12, seat F wedged between the seat and wall,” read a letter that was found in the package. “I thought you must want it back. All the best. Besides, I rounded your cash up to an even $ 100 so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. Have fun! ! ! ”
Hunter’s mother, Jeannie, posted a photo of the letter to social media in the hope that they would be able to track down the sender and thank him for his kindness. All the clues they got were that the letter was sent from Applied Underwriters in Omaha and that the sender’s initials were signed:“T. B”.
With the help of warm-hearted people on the Internet and the airline finally they found out that the sender was Todd Brown, a father-of-five who was delighted to have the chance to “have a little fun” with helping out a hard-working stranger.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Li Hua, an exchange student from China. I’m writing to complain about the quality of the mobile phone which I bought from your store.
It unexpectedly went wrong a few days after I bought it. The screen turned out to be black while I was taking photos. I tried to restart it according to the instructions, but it still failed to work. Therefore, I’m sure there is something wrong with the phone. I am hoping that you direct me to a store where I may get it repaired or change it for a new one within the next 3 days. Since your store has gained a good reputation for customer satisfaction, I am confident you will process my complaint at your earlier convenience.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours Sincerely,
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。
Twenty-year-old young man Hunter Shamatt took a Frontier flight from Omaha to attend his sister’s wedding in Las Vegas earlier this month. He fell asleep during the flight. When the plane landed, he hurriedly collected his belongings and got out of the plane.
Later, when he was ready to buy something to drink, he found his wallet nowhere. Besides $ 60 in cash in the wallet, there was his ID, a signed paycheck, and his debit card（借记卡），which were important to Hunter Shamatt.
Upon realizing that his wallet was lost, he contacted the airline to see if anyone had turned it in. But there was no luck. He thought it was gone forever.
Shortly after the flight, however, Hunter was surprised to receive a package in the mail from a sender who left no name. Inside was his wallet-along with an additional $ 40 in cash.
“Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver-row 12, seat F wedged between the seat and wall,” read a letter that was found in the package. “I thought you must want it back. All the best. Besides, I rounded your cash up to an even $ 100 so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. Have fun! ! ! ”
Hunter’s mother, Jeannie, posted a photo of the letter to social media in the hope that they would be able to track down the sender and thank him for his kindness. All the clues they got were that the letter was sent from Applied Underwriters in Omaha and that the sender’s initials were signed:“T. B”.
With the help of warm-hearted people on the Internet and the airline, finally they found out that the sender was Todd Brown, a father-of-five who was delighted to have the chance to “have a little fun” with helping out a hard-working stranger.
注意：1. 续写词数应150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Todd later said that he could understand the feeling of the owner, a 20-year-old young man, which he knew from the owner's ID.

【答案】参考范文
Todd later said that he could understand the feeling of the owner, a 20-year-old young man, which he knew from the owner's ID. He himself was once 20. “And from what was inside the wallet, I knew he was a student. He had a paycheck in there, so I figured that the young man was doing his best to make ends meet. That $ 60 was a lot of money for a young man.” Todd told Jeannie that he often tried to do good deeds without any recognition. And that was why he avoided signing his full name on the letter. Jeannie was very thankful for Todd’s kindness.
Jeannie said her son Hunter had some student loans, so he was in tight budget. When Hunter opened the package, he was astonished, unable to believe he was reunited with his lost wallet—along with extra $ 40 to make up for their time apart. Jeannie later praised Todd on social media. “Todd helps us to restore faith in people. My family will do the right things，helping people when we can regardless of the outcome and doing extra kindness in the future life,” she wrote on Facebook.

Crazy-Creative Traditions in Schools
Here are a few schools’ crazy-creative traditions that will probably have you wish to go there so you could celebrate in all the graduation fun. Learn about them all in the below.
Attire (服装) and Flowers at College of Charleston
You fashionista will love this one. During December ceremony, women wear black dresses and men wear black tuxedos (燕尾服). During May ceremony, women wear white dresses and men wear summer tuxedos. It’s also been a tradition since the 1930s to carry flowers onto the stage: women carry bouquets of six red roses in a red bow and men wear a single red rose boutonniere (扣眼). So classy!
Hoop Rolling at Wellesley College
This all-women’s college tradition was originally held on May day, but it’s now held in April. The purpose was to allow students to essentially leave all their worries behind and just participate in some fun games outdoors. Back in the day, it was said that the winner of the hoop rolling race was the first to be married, and in the 1980s she would be the first to be CEO. Nowadays, the winner would be the first to achieve her own happiness…that is, after being thrown into Lake Waban by all her classmates.
Fabric and Green Grad Recycling Program at University of New Hampshire
You’ll absolutely love this tradition. UNH’s vendor provides wrinkle-resistant caps and gowns made of recycled plastic bottles. Graduates then have the opportunity to donate their gowns to be cleaned and reused. Graduates are still able to keep their caps and tassels as keepsakes, all while helping to save the environment. The tradition has become a trend for many universities to follow, such as Husson University and Wake Forest University.

Imagine that you’re the creator and show runner of the newest comedy show on television. Only it isn’t so popular yet, and your live Studio audience isn’t giving you the big laughs the show deserves. Do you film the show all over again, hoping that this time the audience will laugh Or is there another option for making a joke sound funnier than it was received
Sweeten(改善) the sound by adding a laugh track! “Sweetening,” or the addition of sound effects such as laughs, screams, and other audience-produced noises to the audio track of a TV show, has been used since the 1940s to produce the appearance, or rather the sound, of an engaged and entertained response to a show’s comedy. Laugh tracks came into existence as not only a solution, and sometimes replacement, for an unengaged live audience but also as a way to engage an at-home audience into a more-traditional, public, and theaterlike experience. Adding a laugh track to a television show makes the viewers at home feel much less like they’re sitting on a couch staring at the television screen and much more like they’re in a room full of laughing happy people to varying degrees of success.
Though the art of sweetening has risen and fallen in popularity over the past 60 years, credit for its creation and continued use is owed to laugh-track pioneer and sound engineer Charles Douglass. Douglass was the first to develop, in 1953, a machine for producing “canned laughter”, accessible at the push of a button or pull of a lever (操纵杆). Despite being artificial, sensibly edited laugh tracks are found by television studios to bring about a positive audience response, as their use is usually accompanied by higher ratings and increased audience memory. Though some television audiences may disagree with the value of the laugh track, the cheerful and repetitive sound holds a permanent place in the history and future of television comedy.
4. The author uses the first paragraph to .
A. introduce the topic “sweetening”
B. seek solutions for the problem
C. point out a way of making comedies
D. arouse readers’ interest in comedies
5. What effect does a laugh track produce
A. The creation of a show.
B. Funnier sound in a show,
C. More engaged live audience
D. Communication among TV viewers.
6. What’s the author’s attitude towards the use of the laugh track
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Neutral (中立的). D. Uncertain,
7 What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The reason for using laugh tracks.
B. The brief history of laugh tracks.
C. The development of TV comedies.
D. The way to improve television shows.

“We’ve had lots of experience with ceramic (陶瓷) materials that can be used for fuel cells for quite some time,” says Alexander Schmid from the Institute for Chemical Technologies and Analytics at TU Wien. “That gave us the idea of investigating whether such materials might also be suitable for making a battery.”
The ceramic materials that the TU Wien team studied can absorb and release doubly negatively charged oxygen ions. When an electric voltage (电压) is applied, the oxygen ions move from one ceramic material to another, after which they can be made to go back again, thus producing electric current.
“Our materials have some significant advantages.” says Prof. Jürgen Fleig. Ceramics aren’t flammable, so fire accidents, which occur time and again with lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries, are practically ruled out. In addition, there is no need for rare chemicals, which are expensive or can only be gained in an environmentally harmful way.
“In this respect, the use of ceramic materials is a great advantage because they can be adapted very well,” says a researcher. “You can replace certain chemicals that are difficult to obtain with others relatively easily.”
“Many batteries can no longer be used to produce electricity after many charging cycles, and the ability of the battery decreases, which can become a serious problem.” says Alexander Schmid.
The oxygen-ion battery, however, can be reused without any problems: If oxygen is lost due to side reactions, then the loss can simply be made up for by oxygen from the surrounding air, which is the most important advantage.
The new battery concept is not intended for smartphones or electric cars, because the oxygen-ion battery only achieves about a third the energy density of lithium-ion batteries and runs at temperatures between 200℃ and 400℃. “If you need a large energy storage unit to temporarily store solar or wind energy, for example, the oxygen-ion battery could be an excellent solution,” says Alexander Schmid.
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning ceramic materials
A. Their potential uses.
B. Their typical styles.
C. Their unique characteristics.
D. Their various applications.
9. What’s the biggest advantage of the new battery
A. Small sizes. B. Free of pollution.
C. Long service life. D. Multiple functions.
10. What can we use the new battery to do
A. Power the smartphones. B. Store energy temporarily.
C. Replace ordinary batteries. D. Settle temperature problems.
11. What is the text
A. A book review.
B. A biography.
C. A short story.
D. A science report.
D
Mirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding. It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.
The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you see someone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also pretty contagious — seeing a smile person makes you want to smile too.
Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you or I feel the same.” Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other. Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That’s why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.
Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with others, mirror their gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.
While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you are mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as rude. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.
12. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean
A. 吸引人的. B. 受人影响的.
C. 传染的. D. 温柔的.
13. What can we know about women from the research
A. They don’t like mirroring others.
B. They are naturally gifted in building trust.
C. They tend to have more close friends.
D. They are good at understanding body language.
14. What is the author’s attitude to the behavior of mirroring the boss
A. Curious. B. Supportive. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. The Excellent Method of Mirroring
B. The Common Forms of Mirroring
C. Nonverbal Communication: A Special Bond
D. Mirroring Body Language: A Useful Tool

Laugh tracks came into existence as not only a solution, and sometimes replacement, for an unengaged live audience but also as a way to engage an at-home audience into a more-traditional, public, and theaterlike experience. Adding a laugh track to a television show makes the viewers at home feel much less like they’re sitting on a couch staring at the television screen and much more like they’re in a room full of laughing happy people to varying degrees of success.
Though the art of sweetening has risen and fallen in popularity over the past 60 years, credit for its creation and continued use is owed to laugh-track pioneer and sound engineer Charles Douglass. Douglass was the first to develop, in 1953, a machine for producing “canned laughter”, accessible at the push of a button or pull of a lever (操纵杆). Despite being artificial, sensibly edited laugh tracks are found by television studios to bring about a positive audience response, as their use is usually accompanied by higher ratings and increased audience memory. Though some television audiences may disagree with the value of the laugh track, the cheerful and repetitive sound holds a permanent place in the history and future of television comedy.

“We’ve had lots of experience with ceramic (陶瓷) materials that can be used for fuel cells for quite some time,” says Alexander Schmid from the Institute for Chemical Technologies and Analytics at TU Wien. “That gave us the idea of investigating whether such materials might also be suitable for making a battery.”
The ceramic materials that the TU Wien team studied can absorb and release doubly negatively charged oxygen ions. When an electric voltage (电压) is applied, the oxygen ions move from one ceramic material to another, after which they can be made to go back again, thus producing electric current.
“Our materials have some significant advantages.” says Prof. Jürgen Fleig. Ceramics aren’t flammable, so fire accidents, which occur time and again with lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries, are practically ruled out. In addition, there is no need for rare chemicals, which are expensive or can only be gained in an environmentally harmful way.
“In this respect, the use of ceramic materials is a great advantage because they can be adapted very well,” says a researcher. “You can replace certain chemicals that are difficult to obtain with others relatively easily.”
“Many batteries can no longer be used to produce electricity after many charging cycles, and the ability of the battery decreases, which can become a serious problem.” says Alexander Schmid.
The oxygen-ion battery, however, can be reused without any problems: If oxygen is lost due to side reactions, then the loss can simply be made up for by oxygen from the surrounding air, which is the most important advantage.
The new battery concept is not intended for smartphones or electric cars, because the oxygen-ion battery only achieves about a third the energy density of lithium-ion batteries and runs at temperatures between 200℃ and 400℃. “If you need a large energy storage unit to temporarily store solar or wind energy, for example, the oxygen-ion battery could be an excellent solution,” says Alexander Schmid.
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning ceramic materials
A Their potential uses.
B. Their typical styles.
C. Their unique characteristics.
D. Their various applications.
9. What’s the biggest advantage of the new battery
A. Small sizes. B. Free of pollution.
C. Long service life. D. Multiple functions.
10 What can we use the new battery to do
A. Power the smartphones. B. Store energy temporarily.
C. Replace ordinary batteries. D. Settle temperature problems.
11. What is the text
A. A book review.
B. A biography.
C. A short story.
D. A science report.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D

Mirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding. It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.
The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you see someone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also pretty contagious — seeing a smile person makes you want to smile too.
Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you or I feel the same.” Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other. Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That’s why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.
Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with others, mirror their gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.
While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you are mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as rude. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.
12. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean
A. 吸引人的. B. 受人影响的.
C. 传染的. D. 温柔的.
13. What can we know about women from the research
A. They don’t like mirroring others.
B. They are naturally gifted in building trust.
C. They tend to have more close friends.
D. They are good at understanding body language.
14. What is the author’s attitude to the behavior of mirroring the boss
A. Curious. B. Supportive. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. The Excellent Method of Mirroring
B. The Common Forms of Mirroring
C. Nonverbal Communication: A Special Bond
D. Mirroring Body Language: A Useful Tool

【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Li Hua, an exchange student from China. I’m writing to complain about the quality of the mobile phone which I bought from your store.
It unexpectedly went wrong a few days after I bought it. The screen turned out to be black while I was taking photos. I tried to restart it according to the instructions, but it still failed to work. Therefore, I’m sure there is something wrong with the phone. I am hoping that you direct me to a store where I may get it repaired or change it for a new one within the next 3 days. Since your store has gained a good reputation for customer satisfaction, I am confident you will process my complaint at your earlier convenience.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours Sincerely,
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。
Twenty-year-old young man Hunter Shamatt took a Frontier flight from Omaha to attend his sister’s wedding in Las Vegas earlier this month. He fell asleep during the flight. When the plane landed, he hurriedly collected his belongings and got out of the plane.
Later, when he was ready to buy something to drink, he found his wallet nowhere. Besides $ 60 in cash in the wallet, there was his ID, a signed paycheck, and his debit card（借记卡），which were important to Hunter Shamatt.
Upon realizing that his wallet was lost, he contacted the airline to see if anyone had turned it in. But there was no luck. He thought it was gone forever.
Shortly after the flight, however, Hunter was surprised to receive a package in the mail from a sender who left no name. Inside was his wallet-along with an additional $ 40 in cash.
“Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver-row 12, seat F wedged between the seat and wall,” read a letter that was found in the package. “I thought you must want it back. All the best. Besides, I rounded your cash up to an even $ 100 so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. Have fun! ! ! ”
Hunter’s mother, Jeannie, posted a photo of the letter to social media in the hope that they would be able to track down the sender and thank him for his kindness. All the clues they got were that the letter was sent from Applied Underwriters in Omaha and that the sender’s initials were signed:“T. B”.
With the help of warm-hearted people on the Internet and the airline, finally they found out that the sender was Todd Brown, a father-of-five who was delighted to have the chance to “have a little fun” with helping out a hard-working stranger.
注意：1. 续写词数应150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

【答案】参考范文
Todd later said that he could understand the feeling of the owner, a 20-year-old young man, which he knew from the owner's ID. He himself was once 20. “And from what was inside the wallet, I knew he was a student. He had a paycheck in there, so I figured that the young man was doing his best to make ends meet. That $ 60 was a lot of money for a young man.” Todd told Jeannie that he often tried to do good deeds without any recognition. And that was why he avoided signing his full name on the letter. Jeannie was very thankful for Todd’s kindness.
Jeannie said her son Hunter had some student loans, so he was in tight budget. When Hunter opened the package, he was astonished, unable to believe he was reunited with his lost wallet—along with extra $ 40 to make up for their time apart. Jeannie later praised Todd on social media. “Todd helps us to restore faith in people. My family will do the right things，helping people when we can regardless of the outcome and doing extra kindness in the future life,” she wrote on Facebook.
