One possible version:
The fable is about a peacock who complains about his ugly voice ignoring his true beauty. But a fox advises him to be content with what he owns.
After reading it, I understand that we should find and make good use of our advantages instead of focusing on our shortcomings or what we don’t have. This reminds me of my friend Mike, who often complains he is too short to play basketball well, feeling upset. But he never realizes how beautifully he can play the violin, for which we admire him so much.
In conclusion, we should stay positive and value what we have instead of complaining too much. If we remain grateful for what we already have and what we can fulfill, we may live a happier life.Period Four Writing

8.that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词updates,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that或者which引导从句。故填that/which。
9.However 考查副词。结合语意可知,本句与上文内容形成转折关系,表示“但是”;单词置于句首,首字母应大写。故填However。

One possible version:
Dear David,
Sorry to hear that you’re going through a tough time due to the conflict in the rehearsal for the English short play with your group. I’m writing to help you out.
I can totally relate to you, for disagreements during high school are common. The reasons why the conflict arose could be different interpretations of the play itself, a lack of communication of each other’s intentions and the spirit of teamwork. For the play’s sake, it’s essential to take a step back and try to settle with your group.
I suggest having open and honest conversations with your group members and exchanging thoughts to reach agreement. If the problem persists, don’t hesitate to seek assistance from your teachers.
I genuinely hope these suggestions prove helpful to you and that everything will go well.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth (厕所隔间), tears streaming down her face. I rushed up to her and asked what was wrong. Seeing my worried look, Janet quietly said she had heard what I said about the powder. She went on explaining that she was my secret friend and would like to give me something special. She went to the flea market and saw the powder that she thought would be fancy. She had hoped I could like the gift, but it ended up embarrassing me instead. Instantly I realized that I should apologise.
Along with my apologies, I explained the reason. I sincerely told Janet that I didn’t mean what I said. I knew deep down that she just wanted to make me happy with her gift and I told her I understood. She really looked relieved after hearing my comforting explanation. Although the powder may not be what I wished, it was a thoughtful present that I knew Janet had tried her best to find. From then on, I appreciate any present I get even if it was not something I was expecting. All that matters is the thought behind it.
【思路点拨】 本文以事件发展为线索展开,讲述了作者在班级活动中收到了不喜欢的礼物,被同学嘲笑,为此作者感到尴尬而出言不逊,却伤害了同学的感情。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“然后我看到我的同学珍妮特从厕所隔间出来,眼泪顺着她的脸流了下来。”可知,本段可以描写作者上前询问情况,了解到珍妮特为了让作者感到高兴而努力寻找特殊的礼物,却让作者感到尴尬。
②由第二段首句内容“在道歉的同时,我解释了原因。”可知,本段可以描写作者向珍妮特道歉并解释了原因,作者意识到尽管别人送的礼物不一定是自己喜欢的,但是重要的是礼物背后的意义。
2.续写线索:作者看到珍妮特—作者询问情况—珍妮特努力为作者寻找特殊礼物—作者感到歉疚—作者道歉并解释原因—珍妮特的心情好了很多—作者的感触Period Four Writing
寓言读后感:如何在人际交往中保持适当的距离
本单元用一篇寓言“The Porcupine Dilemma”(《豪猪的困境》)来说明一个道理:在人际交往中, 人与人之间不能离得太远, 因为离得近才能感觉到温暖, 但也千万不要离得太近, 这样才不会出现矛盾、伤到彼此。只有保持恰当的、合适的距离, 才能友好且快乐地一起生活下去。

As a sixth grader, I began noticing how other kids were separated into groups. I wasn’t sure where I belonged. I found it hard to fit in.
Our teacher had assigned “secret friends” for the coming week. She wrote each kid’s name on a piece of paper and threw them into a glass; then we each closed our eyes and caught one piece of paper from the glass on which was the name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend and support each other over the next five school days. By the middle of the week, everyone, including me, had turned this assignment into a competition to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift. We left cards, pens and even money. It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friend except me.
On the last morning of our assignment, I walked into my classroom and noticed there was a package. I opened the wrapping paper and inside was a box of powder (美容粉). The girls sitting near me laughed at the gift I had received. To make matters worse, the powder had already been opened.
I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift, but when I was in the bathroom during the break, the girls who had seen me open the powder started speaking ill of my secret friend. I quickly joined in: “How terrible!” I heard myself saying “What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift My grandmother wouldn’t even want it.” The girls laughed at my remarks and rushed out of the bathroom. I stayed to wash my hands and let the water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said. It wasn’t normal like me to say mean things like that about someone.

comforting explanation. Although the powder may not be what I
wished, it was a thoughtful present that I knew Janet had tried
her best to find. From then on, I appreciate any present I get
even if it was not something I was expecting. All that matters is
the thought behind it.
【思路点拨】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了作者在班级活动
中收到了不喜欢的礼物，被同学嘲笑，为此作者感到尴尬而出言不
逊，却伤害了同学的感情。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“然后我看到我的同学珍妮特从厕所隔间出来，
眼泪顺着她的脸流了下来。”可知，本段可以描写作者上前询问情况，
了解到珍妮特为了让作者感到高兴而努力寻找特殊的礼物，却让作
者感到尴尬。
②由第二段首句内容“在道歉的同时，我解释了原因。”可知，本段可
以描写作者向珍妮特道歉并解释了原因，作者意识到尽管别人送的
礼物不一定是自己喜欢的，但是重要的是礼物背后的意义。
2.续写线索：作者看到珍妮特—作者询问情况—珍妮特努力为作者寻
找特殊礼物—作者感到歉疚—作者道歉并解释原因—珍妮特的心情
好了很多—作者的感触
