Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
Claire,America Sometimes something good comes out of a bad thing. Last month, I took a photo of an amazing sunset over a lake when hiking in a park. Then I decided to send it to my brother Charley. However, I dropped my phone in the water. OMG! I lost all my photos and my phone. Well, luckily, Charley sent my sunset photo to the TV station. And people there chose it for Photo of the Month, and I won a new camera. Maybe every cloud has a silver lining!
Sue, Canada Ten years ago, my car broke down on my way to school. I didn’t have enough money to fix it, so I had to get up at 5:00 a.m. every day to take the bus. One cold, wet morning, I felt really tired. But a boy started talking to me on the bus, and he really made me happy! I found that we studied at the same school. We exchanged phone numbers. Ten years later, we’re married with two children. Oh, and a new car! Every cloud has a silver lining!
Yang, China Some weeks ago, I helped a Malaysian friend Andrew move his things into my house. He lost his job and needed a place to stay. But I hurt my back when carrying some heavy boxes.

At least his cloud had a silver lining! And I do have my house all to myself again.

I played with my baby brother until it was nearly dark. I then made a fire, and put the kettle (水壶) over it to boil the water for tea. It was soon boiling. The baby fell asleep.
“Now,” I thought, “I can read a new book before my parents return for supper.” So I sat down to read by the light of the fire. I didn’t know how long I sat there, but suddenly I heard the sound of someone heavily walking in the room. I looked up from my book, and saw a bear standing in the open doorway.
He pushed his way into the room, slowly moving toward my baby brother. At that moment the bear would nearly catch our sleeping baby.
What could I do I had no gun or stick, and nobody was near to help me. I picked the kettle of hot water, and rushed toward him. He returned his angry head toward me as I moved. I threw a shower of boiling hot water in his eyes, nose, ears and open mouth.
He roared (咆哮) in anger and pain. Blinded by the hot water, he turned away from the baby’s bed and almost fell out of the door. I rushed to close it at once. I then fell, ▲ and shocked, to the floor.

Many people would feel uncomfortable when there are young children sitting next to them on a plane, but a man called Todd regarded it as a chance to give a hand to a helpless mom. Jessica spoke about what Todd had done to make her travel with her children much easier.
She looked very worried when she boarded the plane. Her 4-month-old son was crying because of several unexpected events. Her 3-year-old daughter, Caroline, who had been excited before boarding the plane, lost her excitement and began crying too. As Jessica tried to calm them down and help them stop crying, the man sitting next to them came to help.
He reached for the baby and held him when Jessica fastened Caroline’s seat belt, got her the tablet and started her movie. Once Caroline was settled and a little bit calm, he also played games with her so that Jessica could feed her son. The kids were calm, but he didn’t stop there. Throughout the flight, he made the 3-year-old Caroline his best friend.
Much to Jessica’s happiness, the man was taking the same connecting flight, too. He helped them get off the plane and led them to the next gate, holding Caroline’s hand. As if that wasn’t enough, he changed his seat on the next flight so he could sit in the same row to help them. He told Jessica his wife had had a similar experience when their two boys were young and that a stranger had done the same thing, which moved him to spread the kindness.
The heartwarming story is a reminder to show kindness toward worried parents with young babies. Children don’t yet know how to deal with their feelings, so they cry and scream when they are confused or uncomfortable in a new place. By offering a helping hand, we could not only help an upset parent but also make a child feel a little more comfortable.

第一节 阅读表达(共5 小题;每小题2 分,满分10 分)
阅读下面短文,完成短文后的问题。
It’s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool’s Day. On April 1st each year, people play tricks on each other. Classmates sometimes tie each other’s shoelaces (鞋带) to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that makes students feel scared before they realize it’s only a joke. Newspapers report on fake news (like “UFO” lands in New York City) and announce fake contests (such as “Win an elephant!”).
One April Fool’s Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria (自助餐厅). The chickens ran all around the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers (羽毛) were flying everywhere. Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags (标签) around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens No.1, 2, 3 and 5. Where was chicken No. 4 The teachers looked and looked. They couldn’t find the chicken. After a few hours, they realized that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They’ve been tricked by the numbers on the chickens. It’s been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool’s Day remains one of my favorite memories from those years.

范文:
A Special Day
Once I was too excited to fall asleep because the next day would be my birthday. The next morning, by the time I got up, it had already been 7 : 00 o ’clock. I rushed to school without eating breakfast. Unluckily, a bike knocked me down on my way to school and the doctor told me that I had to stay in bed for a few days. I felt so sad. Luckily, my friends came to see me and helped me with my schoolwork. They also had a wonderful birthday party for me that evening.
What a special day!
