I was talking to my friend Sandy about our children. Sandy had recently moved into the neighborhood with her four kids: Jane, Joe, Christopher, and her youngest, eighteen-month-old Kim. She seemed happy to have kids nearby, until she saw our dog, Sam.
Sam, our shiny black dog, loved to play with the kids and protect them. But Sandy had a fear of dogs, and she started to back away as Sam approached. I grabbed Sam's collar and made him sit, trying to ease Sandy's discomfort.
Sandy mentioned that she needed to get her kids ready to go to their grandmother's house. Just then, her door opened and her kids rushed out. Sandy shouted at them to stay away from Sam.
The kids huddled(挤在一起) around their mom, looking at Sam cautiously(谨慎地). Emma, my daughter, showed the kids how to approach a dog slowly and properly. The kids were won over by Sam's friendly nature, but I knew it would take some time for Sandy to change her viewpoint.
After that incident, we made sure that Sam didn't go near our neighbors without me present. One day, when the kids were playing across the street, I noticed the eighteen-month-old baby heading towards a small hill. I saw a car approaching and shouted at everyone to watch the baby. Without hesitation, Sam rushed out the door and ran across the street towards the baby. He ran to the baby in time to gently push him away from the oncoming car. The kids cheered, completely unaware of the danger. They thought Sam had come to play.
Within a year, Sam had made friends with all the neighbors. Even Sandy started to warm to Sam and would occasionally come over to give him a hug.

　　Shakespeare Week is the annual national celebration of Shakespeare in primary schools, organized by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.

It's free to register and to access hundreds of resources on the Shakespeare Week website, including videos, plays, poetry, storytelling, debate, art and much more, providing children with first experiences of the world's best-known writer.
Create a Shakespeare portrait

Children can enter their Shakespeare portraits in a competition to win the chance to have their works exhibited during Shakespeare Week. They will also receive an art workshop for their class from great artists.

If you can't make it, why not recreate a miniature(微型的)Stratford-upon-Avon We offer a simple art activity created for Shakespeare Week by artist Jennie Maizels. Children can follow her step-by-step video and use the downloadable resources free on the website. It is a simple but effective tracing and copying activity, exploring watercolor and fine line pen painting and drawing techniques.
Design a story world
Participants can work with other children to design a “narrative environment” or “story world” that picks out a key or magical moment from one of Shakespeare's stories. This will offer them a great chance to explore Shakespeare's world.

2.where　考查定语从句。句意:戴维把他的种子种在一个花盆里,并把它放在阳光充足的地方。分析句子可知,设空处引导定语从句,在从句中作状语,因先行词为place,故填表地点的关系副词where。
3.which　考查定语从句。句意:塑料垃圾包括杯子、瓶子和袋子,其中大多数(东西)只能使用一次。分析句子结构可知,most of 　　　 are only good for one use为非限制性定语从句,先行词为cups, bottles, and bags,指物,在从句中作介词of的宾语,所以此处用关系代词which。故填which。
4.sleeping　考查现在分词。句意:她发现他睡得很沉,她想唤醒他的一切努力都无济于事。设空处作宾语补足语,由于宾语him与sleep之间为逻辑上的主动关系,且表示动作正在进行,故使用现在分词sleeping。

6.making　考查现在分词。句意:俄罗斯和中国相互尊重对方的利益,这使两国关系成为21世纪国际关系的典范。结合句意判断逗号后面的部分作结果状语,且为顺理成章的结果,逗号前面的内容与make存在逻辑上的主动关系,应用现在分词,故填making。

2.insisting　考查现在分词。句意:她看着窗外的葡萄藤上的叶子掉落,坚持说当最后一片叶子掉落,她就会死。分析可知,逗号前为完整的句子,句中无并列连词,所以逗号后为状语,insist的逻辑主语是主句的主语She,两者之间是主动关系,应用现在分词,故填insisting。
3.who　考查定语从句。句意:伯曼先生是一位画家,他一直声称他将画一幅杰作,尽管他甚至从来没有尝试开始过。分析句子可知此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词为an artist,指人,设空处引导非限制性定语从句且在从句中作主语,故填who。
4.a　考查冠词。空前为动词paint,空后为可数名词的单数形式,所以此处缺少冠词,且为泛指,masterpiece以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。

8.to live　考查动词不定式。句意:她恢复了生存的意志,有完全康复的机会。结合句意判断,此处will为名词,设空处作will的后置定语,故用不定式to live。

3.to create　考查动词不定式。此处表示目的,应使用动词不定式,故填to create。

5.whose　考查定语从句。句意:花木兰是北魏(386—534)的一个战士,她的故事在中国代代相传。分析句子可知,两个逗号中间为非限制性定语从句,故此空应为定语从句的引导词,定语从句的先行词是Hua Mulan,与story之间存在所属关系,应用关系代词whose。
6.in　考查介词。分析句子结构可知,此处用介词短语作状语,in place of表示“代替”,故填in。
7.her　考查代词。句意:木兰的勇气、善良和对名利的漠视态度等品质使她成为中国历史上最受尊敬的女英雄之一。分析句子可知,此处作动词made的宾语,应使用代词宾格her,one of the most respected historical Chinese heroines为宾语补足语,故填her。
8.frequently　考查副词。设空处修饰谓语has been adapted,应该用副词,故填frequently。
9.was considered　考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:例如,1998年,迪士尼制作了一部名叫《花木兰》的电影,这部电影一度被评论家和公众视为巨大的成功。分析句子结构可判断,设空处为非限制性定语从句的谓语动词,主语which(指代先行词Mulan)与consider之间存在被动关系,根据in 1998和for a time可知应用一般过去时的被动语态,先行词Mulan为单数意义,故填was considered。
10.visits　考查名词复数。句意:为了更好地讲述这个故事,郁蓉从她对古代战争旧址的几次访问以及豫剧中获得灵感。visit为可数名词,被several修饰,故用其复数形式visits。
