Section Ⅳ Writing a story about a misunderstanding in English
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Today we are going to talk about the expression： A rolling stone gathers no moss （苔藓）.Most of you probably know that a stone is the same thing as a rock.But what about moss？
Moss is a very soft， green plant.It has very small leaves and does not flower.It loves shade and water， so moss grows well on wet ground， trees and rocks.In fact， rocks and stones that line shady creeks （小溪） and rivers are often mossy.Moss grows slowly and is a rootless plant.It spreads well over non-moving surfaces.In fact， to prevent moss from growing on stones in your garden， you can just move the rocks around， turning them over now and then.
Why？ Just as the saying goes， “A rolling stone gathers no moss.” Writer Shelley Gollust explained that the saying can be understood in a couple of ways.It can mean that a person who never settles down in one place will not gather wealth or long-lasting relationships.The moss that slowly spreads across the rock represents the money and friends we make over time.
But there is another way we use this expression.Think about a rolling stone.It leads a carefree life， on the move with no moss to worry about.People who are “rolling stones” live without the restrictions that come with responsibilities.They go anywhere anytime they want.And they don’t stay anywhere long enough to form attachments （爱恋）.A free spirit is also a term we use to describe such a person.They are not tied down with lots of traditional responsibilities.
A rolling stone could also be described as “nomadic （游牧的）”.Experts at the Merriam-Webster online dictionary define （下定义） a nomad as “a member of a group of people who move from place to place”.Often nomads move around to find food.However， these days we can use the word “nomadic” to describe anyone who moves around a lot.
1.What can we know about moss from Paragraph 2？
A.It is a soft plant that grows on rolling stones.
B.It is a special plant that can grow in deep rivers.
C.It is a green plant that spreads over wet surfaces.
D.It is a rootless plant that can flower in your garden.
2.Who can be described as “a rolling stone”？
A.A man who lives a free life.
B.A man who has lots of friends.
C.A man who loves moving rocks.
D.A man who is responsible for his family.
3.What does the underlined word “restrictions” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？
A.Difficulties. B.Purposes.
C.Achievements. D.Limits.
4.In which section of a magazine may this text appear？
A.Language. B.Science.
C.Nature. D.History.

Krystal was having a particularly tough time making ends meet.The bike she rode to work broke and couldn’t be used.But she couldn’t afford a new one.So she had to walk to work， spending an extra hour on the way.Once in a while， she would wonder whether there was hope in life.Her son， 13-year-old William Preston， couldn’t help but notice.
Seeing his mother work so hard to earn money， William， the sweet young man， was always helping his mother with housework.He didn’t want to see his mom walking to work every day.So， he decided he was going to do whatever it took to buy his mom another bike.
William saw on YouTube that a boy bought his mom a bike and then surprised her with it.He also wanted to do that.William came across a cheap used bike on sale on Facebook.And he knew what he needed to do to help out his struggling mom.
In fact， the 13-year-old has been doing yard work for people in his community to make some money.So， he continued to work hard and save money， which was impressive enough for someone his age.But William took it one step further.
Back in his own room， William was staring at the big box of toys that his relatives and friends had bought him as gifts.He treasured the toys.He spent most of his spare time playing with them.Among them was the game player Xbox， his most prized possession （财产）.When his mother called him to have supper， he had an idea.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Today we are going to talk about the expression： A rolling stone
gathers no moss （苔藓）.Most of you probably know that a stone is the
same thing as a rock.But what about moss？
Moss is a very soft， green plant.It has very small leaves and does
not flower.It loves shade and water， so moss grows well on wet
ground， trees and rocks.In fact， rocks and stones that line shady creeks
（小溪） and rivers are often mossy.Moss grows slowly and is a rootless
plant.It spreads well over non-moving surfaces.In fact， to prevent moss
from growing on stones in your garden， you can just move the rocks
around， turning them over now and then.
Why？ Just as the saying goes， “A rolling stone gathers no
moss.” Writer Shelley Gollust explained that the saying can be
understood in a couple of ways.It can mean that a person who never settles down in one place will not gather wealth or long-lasting relationships.The moss that slowly spreads across the rock represents the money and friends we make over time.
But there is another way we use this expression.Think about a rolling
stone.It leads a carefree life， on the move with no moss to worry
about.People who are “rolling stones” live without the restrictions that
come with responsibilities.They go anywhere anytime they want.And
they don’t stay anywhere long enough to form attachments （爱恋）.A
free spirit is also a term we use to describe such a person.They are not tied
down with lots of traditional responsibilities.
A rolling stone could also be described as “nomadic （游牧
的）”.Experts at the Merriam-Webster online dictionary define （下定
义） a nomad as “a member of a group of people who move from place
to place”.Often nomads move around to find food.However， these
days we can use the word “nomadic” to describe anyone who moves
around a lot.

义和使用场景。
1. What can we know about moss from Paragraph 2？
A. It is a soft plant that grows on rolling stones.
B. It is a special plant that can grow in deep rivers.
C. It is a green plant that spreads over wet surfaces.
D. It is a rootless plant that can flower in your garden.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段前三句可知，苔藓是喜欢生长
在潮湿的地面、树木和岩石上的绿色植物。
2. Who can be described as “a rolling stone”？
A. A man who lives a free life.
B. A man who has lots of friends.
C. A man who loves moving rocks.
D. A man who is responsible for his family.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中的It can mean that a person
who never settles down in one place will not gather wealth or long-
lasting relationships.可知，a rolling stone指的是一个永远不会在一
个地方定居下来，也不会积累财富或建立长久的关系的人，即一个
喜欢自由的人。
3. What does the underlined word “restrictions” in Paragraph 4
probably mean？
A. Difficulties. B. Purposes.
C. Achievements. D. Limits.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文They go anywhere anytime
they want.And they don’t stay anywhere long enough to form
attachments （爱恋）.可知，那些rolling stones的人没有责任的限制
和束缚，想去哪儿就去哪儿，不会在任何地方停留足够长的时间。
故画线词与Limits为同义词。
4. In which section of a magazine may this text appear？
A. Language. B. Science.
C. Nature. D. History.
解析： 文章出处题。通读全文，本文讲述了一个英语常用表达
的含义和使用场景。文章解释了苔藓的含义和滚动石头的比喻，同
时介绍了该表达的两层含义。由此推断文章出自杂志的语言部分。

Single mother Krystal works hard to provide daily necessities for her
kid.They may not have many material things.But love is clearly in no
short supply.
Krystal was having a particularly tough time making ends meet.The
bike she rode to work broke and couldn’t be used.But she couldn’t
afford a new one.So she had to walk to work， spending an extra hour on
the way.Once in a while， she would wonder whether there was hope in
life.Her son， 13-year-old William Preston， couldn’t help but notice.
Seeing his mother work so hard to earn money， William， the sweet
young man， was always helping his mother with housework.He didn’t
want to see his mom walking to work every day.So， he decided he was
going to do whatever it took to buy his mom another bike.
William saw on YouTube that a boy bought his mom a bike and then
surprised her with it.He also wanted to do that.William came across a
cheap used bike on sale on Facebook.And he knew what he needed to do
to help out his struggling mom.
In fact， the 13-year-old has been doing yard work for people in his
community to make some money.So， he continued to work hard and
save money， which was impressive enough for someone his age.But
William took it one step further.
Back in his own room， William was staring at the big box of toys
that his relatives and friends had bought him as gifts.He treasured the
toys.He spent most of his spare time playing with them.Among them was
the game player Xbox， his most prized possession （财产）.When his
mother called him to have supper， he had an idea.

After school， he brought his Xbox to a second-hand shop nearby.
When asked why he wanted to sell the game player， William told the
shopkeeper about his idea.The shopkeeper was impressed by the
considerate boy and bought the game player at a relatively higher
price.With this money in his pocket， William figured out that he needed
to do yard work for one more week to get enough money for the bike.Day
after day， the money in his pocket increased.On the seventh day， he
finally managed to save enough money.
With the money he had saved， William bought the bike on
Facebook. When Krystal came back from work with tired body， she was
surprised to see a bike in the house.Learning what William had done for
her， tears welled up in her eyes.She gave William a big hug， saying，
“I love you， my dear son.Thank you so much.” Krystal shared their
story on YouTube， “When I was in a tough time， my son William
came here.His act of kindness has helped restore my hope for the
future.”
