High school biology teacher Kelly Chavis knew smartphones were a problem in her class But not even the students realized how much of a problem the devices were until Chavis did an in-class experiment.
For one class period, students used a whiteboard to count every Snapchat (推送的消息), Instagram, text, call that appeared on their phones. Chavis is among a growing number of teachers, parents and health experts who believe that smartphones are now partly to blame for increasing the levels of student anxiety. “One girl, just during the one hour, got close to 150 Snapchat notifications. 150!” she said.
Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University in California, said it is not a coincidence (巧合) that youth mental health issues have risen with the number of phones. “This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face-to-face interactions necessary for their growth,” she said.
Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause students’ depression (消沉) or depression causes phone use But nearly 60 percent of parents say they worry about the influence of social media on their child’s physical and mental health.
Both schools and parents are starting to take steps to deal with the problem. Many public schools pay outside companies to watch students’ social media activities for signs of anxiety. Other schools invite in yoga teachers and comfort dogs to help calm students.
4. What’s the purpose of Chavis’s experiment
A. To see how many students have smartphones.
B. To show smartphones influence teenagers greatly.
C. To find out how popular her students are.
D. To tell her students how to use smartphones wisely.
5. How did Kelly Chavis feel about the result
A. Satisfied. B. Excited. C. Shocked. D. Frightened.
6. Which of the following is TRUE according to Jean Twenge
A. Over-using phones may harm students’ body and mind.
B. Students spend too much money on smartphones.
C. Over-using phones cause drops in students’ grades.
D. Students are now under great stress.
7. What might be talked about if the passage is continued
A. How other schools deal with students’ phones.
B. Whether the ways to handle phones are effective.
C. Whether students are willing to give up using phones.
D. How some parents deal with their children’s phones.
C
A University College London study found that cities have to become car-free (一种环保健康理念——无车) to survive. In short, if we don’t reduce the number of cars in our cities, they will just completely clog up and stop moving.
The study notes the number of cars is actually increasing faster than that of people. In 2019, 80 million cars were built while the population increased by 78 million. And the mass production of those cars were to blame for 4％ of global carbon dioxide CO2) emission (排放), Which is bigger than aviation (航空) and that’s before you even fuel (加油) them up.
The study authors make a math model, and the people choose between driving their car or taking public transport on the basis of the time it takes to do the trip. “All people decide their commuting (通勤) mode trying to reduce their costs, but the result is the worst situation: the more people who decide that driving is faster, the more crowded the roads, and the longer the trip takes.” write the author of the study.
Besides, policymakers tend to build even more car infrastructure (基础设施), which then encourages more private car use and leads to even more traffic jams.
Possible solutions have to be actively encouraged, with more travel choices, plus local shops and services.
Also, reducing the probability of traveling by car would be achieved by adding more public transport lanes and wider sidewalks, for example.
Dr. Hamburger, one author of the study said, “If our goal is to have more livable and developed cities, then we need to use part of the land and give it to other modes of transportation: walking, cycling and public transport.”
8. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “clog up”
A. Turn down. B. Break down. C. Make trouble. D. Get stuck.
9. What can we infer from the numbers in paragraph 2
A. The number of cars is larger than population.
B. CO2 emission is largely affected by car production.
C. Car production creates more CO2 than aviation.
D. Global CO2 emission is more serious than expected.
10. What result do study authors get from their model
A. It is hard for people to keep a balance. B. It takes more time to drive cars to work.
C. More cars can be used to save time. D. Driving cars can keep the cost down.
11. What is a possible way to help the city develop better
A. Building parking lots. B. Saving land for cars.
C. Riding a bus to work. D. Producing less cars.
D
“From this moment forward, in an effort to keep a healthy lifestyle, I’ve determined not to consume any snacks except bread (黑麦面包).” is what I told myself yesterday, and yet here I am today eating a chocolate bar (巧克力棒). I’m aware that I’m breaking my own promise to myself. Instead of eating this, I should be working out or something. But the thing is, chocolate is too good at this moment for me to refuse it!
As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification (即时满足) — the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit. In fact, when you want it, you get it.
Instant gratification is also the exact opposite of what we’re taught to do — delayed gratification (延迟满足): deciding to put off satisfying our current want to gain something better in the future. We’ve all encountered instant gratification before. Should I sleep in or wake up early to work out When I get home, should I rest and watch TV first or get started on my homework
All humans tend to seek pleasure and avoid pain, a basic concept known as the pleasure principle. Originally coined (创造) by Sigmund Freud, it clearly states that all humans are driven, to some extent, by pleasure.
However pleasant not doing your homework may seem right now, it only results in guilt (愧疚) and last-minute panicking late at night. An inability to resist instant gratification may result in underachieving in the long term and failure to meet certain goals.
Instant gratification, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t always have to say no to things you want at that moment, and it’s good to treat yourself when you need it. In other words, times when you “treat yourself” are only valuable in combination with delayed gratification. While my chocolate bar may taste good now, it’ll taste even better if I only eat it after I’ve worked out or done something healthy.
12. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By making a contrast. B. By describing a personal experience.
C. By giving a definition. D. By listing detailed problems.
13. Which of the following is an example of instant gratification
A. Drive to eat what you want late at night. B. Exercising regularly for long-term health.
C. Limiting time on social media apps. D. Finishing homework before watching TV.
14. What’s the author’s attitude of instant gratification
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Power of Instant Gratification B. The Pleasure Principle and Its Result
C. Instant Gratification: A Double-Edged Sword D. The Difficulties of Modern Lifestyle Choices

Sally had trouble speaking in social situations (社交场合). I’m a registered nurse and I love kids and dogs. I wanted to use Bella to bring her joy, comfort and confidence the way only a dog can.
That morning in January, her teacher led us to a room by the school office. “Sally hasn’t spoken outside her home in the last two years,” she told me. “Her parents have taken her to doctors, but nothing has worked.” A little girl stood shyly just inside the doorway (门道). Her eyes brightened when noticing my dog.

I motioned (打手势) with my hand. Bella lay down and then rolled over (翻了个身). Sally’s eyes cheered up. “She’ll do it for you too,” I said. “I can teach you.”

One morning, when she was working with Bella, I heard a tiny voice, barely a whisper, “Good dog.” Sally didn’t take her eyes off Bella, but I wanted to jump for joy. Sally spoke a little more each week, only to Bella at first, but then to me. Later, she started giving voice commands with her hand signals and her confidence rose. Still, she hadn’t spoken in her classroom.

A University College London study found that cities have to become car-free (一种环保健康理念——无车) to survive. In short, if we don’t reduce the number of cars in our cities, they will just completely clog up and stop moving.
The study notes the number of cars is actually increasing faster than that of people. In 2019, 80 million cars were built while the population increased by 78 million. And the mass production of those cars were to blame for 4％ of global carbon dioxide CO2) emission (排放), Which is bigger than aviation (航空) and that’s before you even fuel (加油) them up.
The study authors make a math model, and the people choose between driving their car or taking public transport on the basis of the time it takes to do the trip. “All people decide their commuting (通勤) mode trying to reduce their costs, but the result is the worst situation: the more people who decide that driving is faster, the more crowded the roads, and the longer the trip takes.” write the author of the study.
Besides, policymakers tend to build even more car infrastructure (基础设施), which then encourages more private car use and leads to even more traffic jams.
Possible solutions have to be actively encouraged, with more travel choices, plus local shops and services.
Also, reducing the probability of traveling by car would be achieved by adding more public transport lanes and wider sidewalks, for example.
Dr. Hamburger, one author of the study said, “If our goal is to have more livable and developed cities, then we need to use part of the land and give it to other modes of transportation: walking, cycling and public transport.”
8. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “clog up”
A. Turn down. B. Break down. C. Make trouble. D. Get stuck.
9. What can we infer from the numbers in paragraph 2
A. The number of cars is larger than population.
B. CO2 emission is largely affected by car production.
C. Car production creates more CO2 than aviation.
D. Global CO2 emission is more serious than expected.
10. What result do study authors get from their model
A. It is hard for people to keep a balance. B. It takes more time to drive cars to work.
C. More cars can be used to save time. D. Driving cars can keep the cost down.
11. What is a possible way to help the city develop better
A. Building parking lots. B. Saving land for cars.
C. Riding a bus to work. D. Producing less cars.

“From this moment forward, in an effort to keep a healthy lifestyle, I’ve determined not to consume any snacks except bread (黑麦面包).” is what I told myself yesterday, and yet here I am today eating a chocolate bar (巧克力棒). I’m aware that I’m breaking my own promise to myself. Instead of eating this, I should be working out or something. But the thing is, chocolate is too good at this moment for me to refuse it!
As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification (即时满足) — the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit. In fact, when you want it, you get it.
Instant gratification is also the exact opposite of what we’re taught to do — delayed gratification (延迟满足): deciding to put off satisfying our current want to gain something better in the future. We’ve all encountered instant gratification before. Should I sleep in or wake up early to work out When I get home, should I rest and watch TV first or get started on my homework
All humans tend to seek pleasure and avoid pain, a basic concept known as the pleasure principle. Originally coined (创造) by Sigmund Freud, it clearly states that all humans are driven, to some extent, by pleasure.
However pleasant not doing your homework may seem right now, it only results in guilt (愧疚) and last-minute panicking late at night. An inability to resist instant gratification may result in underachieving in the long term and failure to meet certain goals.
Instant gratification, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t always have to say no to things you want at that moment, and it’s good to treat yourself when you need it. In other words, times when you “treat yourself” are only valuable in combination with delayed gratification. While my chocolate bar may taste good now, it’ll taste even better if I only eat it after I’ve worked out or done something healthy.
12. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By making a contrast. B. By describing a personal experience.
C. By giving a definition. D. By listing detailed problems.
13. Which of the following is an example of instant gratification
A. Drive to eat what you want late at night. B. Exercising regularly for long-term health.
C. Limiting time on social media apps. D. Finishing homework before watching TV.
14. What’s the author’s attitude of instant gratification
A Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Power of Instant Gratification B. The Pleasure Principle and Its Result
C. Instant Gratification: A Double-Edged Sword D. The Difficulties of Modern Lifestyle Choices

【答案】There are many respectable people around us. Among them, the person I respect most is Zhong Nanshan, who has become a household name for his great contributions to defeating viruses.
Zhong Nanshan, a medical scientist, is a leading figure in the battles against SARS in 2003 and COVID-19 in 2019, winning him the worldwide respect. What impresses me most is that aged 84, he rushed to the front line of the epidemic area without hesitation at the beginning of the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic. He and his workmates worked hard day and night to treat the patients infected with COVID-19. With their great efforts, the COVID-19 was finally under control.
It is his hard work, perseverance (毅力) and selflessness that make him an outstanding scientist. We are called on to learn from him and devote ourselves to scientific research.

Sally had trouble speaking in social situations (社交场合). I’m a registered nurse and I love kids and dogs. I wanted to use Bella to bring her joy, comfort and confidence the way only a dog can.
That morning in January, her teacher led us to a room by the school office. “Sally hasn’t spoken outside her home in the last two years,” she told me. “Her parents have taken her to doctors, but nothing has worked.” A little girl stood shyly just inside the doorway (门道). Her eyes brightened when noticing my dog.
“This is Isabella Rose. I call her Bella,” I said. “Would you like to pet her She doesn’t know anyone here and she’d like to meet you. She does tricks (把戏). Would you like to see ” Sally nodded. I motioned (打手势) with my hand. Bella lay down and then rolled over (翻了个身). Sally’s eyes cheered up. “She’ll do it for you too,” I said. “I can teach you.”
I showed Sally the hand signals (信号) for various commands (指令). She was a natural (有天赋的人) with Bella. Soon Sally was able to take Bella at her pace (节奏) all on her own. I could see her standing taller, more sure of herself each time we met.
One morning, when she was working with Bella, I heard a tiny voice, barely a whisper, “Good dog.” Sally didn’t take her eyes off Bella, but I wanted to jump for joy. Sally spoke a little more each week, only to Bella at first, but then to me. Later, she started giving voice commands with her hand signals and her confidence rose. Still, she hadn’t spoken in her classroom.
“Could you bring Bella to my class and show the other kids her tricks ” Sally asked me one day. An idea struck me. “Why don’t you do it ” I said. “I know you can. You’re as good with Bella as I am.”
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

The next week, she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with determination.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Now, Sally stood nervously in front of her class, with Bella sitting calmly by her side. Her class mates focused on Sally, waiting for her to speak. But not a word came out. Sally had been so excited about putting on a dog show for her class. She had been quite familiar with the hand signals and had practiced for weeks. Now her eyes found mine. I nodded encouragingly. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth. Her mouth-then her whole body-seemed to close in on itself in defeat. Sally stood off to the side, head down. I felt awful. Sally returned to her seat, not looking at anyone, not even Bella. (Sally在众人瞩目下紧张、恐惧，最终没有勇气在同学们面前讲话。)
The next week,she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with determination. “Are you sure ” I asked. “You don’t want to wait till next year ” “No,” she said. “Today, I can do it.” Then we headed to Sally’s classroom. The kids were sitting in a circle on the floor, listening to the teacher. We walked to the front of the room. I shook Sally’s hands and stepped back. For a few seconds, she stood silently, staring at her classmates. Finally she whispered, “This is Isabella Rose.” Then, a little louder with more confidence, “Isabella Rose.”(Sally的第二次努力: 她虽然感到紧张、害怕， 但最终在同学们面前开口说话了。)

To the book lovers, no other experience can beat walking through a bookshop and looking at all the covers, picking the books up and turning them over, the smell of ink (墨) on paper, and talking with others about authors. With the coming of the online book buying and e-books, many people think that the bookstores will disappear. And we’re grateful that there are lots of beautiful bookstores still out there.
El Ateneo
Grand Splendid Designed for Max Glucksmann, a pioneer of the music and film industries, this wonderful theater space was opened in 1919. The former theater now serves as a store; more than 1 million people visit El Ateneo Grand Splendid every year.

Selexyz Dominicanen

At La Caverne aux Livres in Auvers-sur-Oise, northwestern of Paris, an old train station and several train cars have become home to used books for sale.

High school biology teacher Kelly Chavis knew smartphones were a problem in her class But not even the students realized how much of a problem the devices were until Chavis did an in-class experiment.
For one class period, students used a whiteboard to count every Snapchat (推送的消息), Instagram, text, call that appeared on their phones. Chavis is among a growing number of teachers, parents and health experts who believe that smartphones are now partly to blame for increasing the levels of student anxiety. “One girl, just during the one hour, got close to 150 Snapchat notifications. 150!” she said.
Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University in California, said it is not a coincidence (巧合) that youth mental health issues have risen with the number of phones. “This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face-to-face interactions necessary for their growth,” she said.
Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause students’ depression (消沉) or depression causes phone use But nearly 60 percent of parents say they worry about the influence of social media on their child’s physical and mental health.
Both schools and parents are starting to take steps to deal with the problem. Many public schools pay outside companies to watch students’ social media activities for signs of anxiety. Other schools invite in yoga teachers and comfort dogs to help calm students.
4. What’s the purpose of Chavis’s experiment
A. To see how many students have smartphones.
B. To show smartphones influence teenagers greatly.
C. To find out how popular her students are.
D. To tell her students how to use smartphones wisely.
5. How did Kelly Chavis feel about the result
A. Satisfied. B. Excited. C. Shocked. D. Frightened.
6. Which of the following is TRUE according to Jean Twenge
A. Over-using phones may harm students’ body and mind.
B. Students spend too much money on smartphones.
C. Over-using phones cause drops in students’ grades.
D. Students are now under great stress.
7. What might be talked about if the passage is continued
A. How other schools deal with students’ phones.
B. Whether the ways to handle phones are effective.
C. Whether students are willing to give up using phones.
D. How some parents deal with their children’s phones.

To the book lovers, no other experience can beat walking through a bookshop and looking at all the covers, picking the books up and turning them over, the smell of ink (墨) on paper, and talking with others about authors. With the coming of the online book buying and e-books, many people think that the bookstores will disappear. And we’re grateful that there are lots of beautiful bookstores still out there.
El Ateneo
Grand Splendid Designed for Max Glucksmann, a pioneer of the music and film industries, this wonderful theater space was opened in 1919. The former theater now serves as a store; more than 1 million people visit El Ateneo Grand Splendid every year.

High school biology teacher Kelly Chavis knew smartphones were a problem in her class. But not even the students realized how much of a problem the devices were until Chavis did an in-class experiment.
For one class period, students used a whiteboard to count every Snapchat (推送的消息), Instagram, text, call that appeared on their phones. Chavis is among a growing number of teachers, parents and health experts who believe that smartphones are now partly to blame for increasing the levels of student anxiety. “One girl, just during the one hour, got close to 150 Snapchat notifications. 150!” she said.
Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University in California, said it is not a coincidence (巧合) that youth mental health issues have risen with the number of phones. “This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face-to-face interactions necessary for their growth,” she said.
Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause students’ depression (消沉) or depression causes phone use. But nearly 60 percent of parents say they worry about the influence of social media on their child’s physical and mental health.
Both schools and parents are starting to take steps to deal with the problem. Many public schools pay outside companies to watch students’ social media activities for signs of anxiety. Other schools invite in yoga teachers and comfort dogs to help calm students.
4. What’s the purpose of Chavis’s experiment
A. To see how many students have smartphones.
B. To show smartphones influence teenagers greatly.
C. To find out how popular her students are.
D. To tell her students how to use smartphones wisely.
5. How did Kelly Chavis feel about the result
A. Satisfied. B. Excited. C. Shocked. D. Frightened.
6. Which of the following is TRUE according to Jean Twenge
A. Over-using phones may harm students’ body and mind.
B. Students spend too much money on smartphones.
C. Over-using phones cause drops in students’ grades.
D. Students are now under great stress.
7. What might be talked about if the passage is continued
A. How other schools deal with students’ phones.
B. Whether the ways to handle phones are effective.
C. Whether students are willing to give up using phones.
D. How some parents deal with their children’s phones.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D
C
A University College London study found that cities have to become car-free (一种环保健康理念——无车) to survive. In short, if we don’t reduce the number of cars in our cities, they will just completely clog up and stop moving.
The study notes the number of cars is actually increasing faster than that of people. In 2019, 80 million cars were built while the population increased by 78 million. And the mass production of those cars were to blame for 4％ of global carbon dioxide CO2) emission (排放), Which is bigger than aviation (航空) and that’s before you even fuel (加油) them up.
The study authors make a math model, and the people choose between driving their car or taking public transport on the basis of the time it takes to do the trip. “All people decide their commuting (通勤) mode trying to reduce their costs, but the result is the worst situation: the more people who decide that driving is faster, the more crowded the roads, and the longer the trip takes.” write the author of the study.
Besides, policymakers tend to build even more car infrastructure (基础设施), which then encourages more private car use and leads to even more traffic jams.
Possible solutions have to be actively encouraged, with more travel choices, plus local shops and services.
Also, reducing the probability of traveling by car would be achieved by adding more public transport lanes and wider sidewalks, for example.
Dr. Hamburger, one author of the study said, “If our goal is to have more livable and developed cities, then we need to use part of the land and give it to other modes of transportation: walking, cycling and public transport.”
8. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “clog up”
A. Turn down. B. Break down. C. Make trouble. D. Get stuck.
9. What can we infer from the numbers in paragraph 2
A. The number of cars is larger than population.
B. CO2 emission is largely affected by car production.
C. Car production creates more CO2 than aviation.
D. Global CO2 emission is more serious than expected.
10. What result do study authors get from their model
A. It is hard for people to keep a balance. B. It takes more time to drive cars to work.
C. More cars can be used to save time. D. Driving cars can keep the cost down.
11. What is a possible way to help the city develop better
A. Building parking lots. B. Saving land for cars.
C. Riding a bus to work. D. Producing less cars.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C
D
“From this moment forward, in an effort to keep a healthy lifestyle, I’ve determined not to consume any snacks except bread (黑麦面包).” is what I told myself yesterday, and yet here I am today eating a chocolate bar (巧克力棒). I’m aware that I’m breaking my own promise to myself. Instead of eating this, I should be working out or something. But the thing is, chocolate is too good at this moment for me to refuse it!
As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification (即时满足) — the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit. In fact, when you want it, you get it.
Instant gratification is also the exact opposite of what we’re taught to do — delayed gratification (延迟满足): deciding to put off satisfying our current want to gain something better in the future. We’ve all encountered instant gratification before. Should I sleep in or wake up early to work out When I get home, should I rest and watch TV first or get started on my homework
All humans tend to seek pleasure and avoid pain, a basic concept known as the pleasure principle. Originally coined (创造) by Sigmund Freud, it clearly states that all humans are driven, to some extent, by pleasure.
However pleasant not doing your homework may seem right now, it only results in guilt (愧疚) and last-minute panicking late at night. An inability to resist instant gratification may result in underachieving in the long term and failure to meet certain goals.
Instant gratification, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t always have to say no to things you want at that moment, and it’s good to treat yourself when you need it. In other words, times when you “treat yourself” are only valuable in combination with delayed gratification. While my chocolate bar may taste good now, it’ll taste even better if I only eat it after I’ve worked out or done something healthy.
12. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By making a contrast. B. By describing a personal experience.
C. By giving a definition. D. By listing detailed problems.
13. Which of the following is an example of instant gratification
A. Drive to eat what you want late at night. B. Exercising regularly for long-term health.
C. Limiting time on social media apps. D. Finishing homework before watching TV.
14. What’s the author’s attitude of instant gratification
A Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Power of Instant Gratification B. The Pleasure Principle and Its Result
C. Instant Gratification: A Double-Edged Sword D. The Difficulties of Modern Lifestyle Choices
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C

【答案】There are many respectable people around us. Among them, the person I respect most is Zhong Nanshan, who has become a household name for his great contributions to defeating viruses.
Zhong Nanshan, a medical scientist, is a leading figure in the battles against SARS in 2003 and COVID-19 in 2019, winning him the worldwide respect. What impresses me most is that aged 84, he rushed to the front line of the epidemic area without hesitation at the beginning of the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic. He and his workmates worked hard day and night to treat the patients infected with COVID-19. With their great efforts, the COVID-19 was finally under control.
It is his hard work, perseverance (毅力) and selflessness that make him an outstanding scientist. We are called on to learn from him and devote ourselves to scientific research.

【答案】Now, Sally stood nervously in front of her class, with Bella sitting calmly by her side. Her class mates focused on Sally, waiting for her to speak. But not a word came out. Sally had been so excited about putting on a dog show for her class. She had been quite familiar with the hand signals and had practiced for weeks. Now her eyes found mine. I nodded encouragingly. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth. Her mouth-then her whole body-seemed to close in on itself in defeat. Sally stood off to the side, head down. I felt awful. Sally returned to her seat, not looking at anyone, not even Bella. (Sally在众人瞩目下紧张、恐惧，最终没有勇气在同学们面前讲话。)
The next week,she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with determination. “Are you sure ” I asked. “You don’t want to wait till next year ” “No,” she said. “Today, I can do it.” Then we headed to Sally’s classroom. The kids were sitting in a circle on the floor, listening to the teacher. We walked to the front of the room. I shook Sally’s hands and stepped back. For a few seconds, she stood silently, staring at her classmates. Finally she whispered, “This is Isabella Rose.” Then, a little louder with more confidence, “Isabella Rose.”(Sally的第二次努力: 她虽然感到紧张、害怕， 但最终在同学们面前开口说话了。)
