A Volunteer Program in Ubud, Bali
Start dates: tasks start every Monday
Period: choose from 2-12 weeks
Volunteer hours: 4-5 hours per day
Age: volunteers aged 16+ and families
How you can make an influence:
Bali has been growing rapidly for some time and its infrastructure (基础设施) has struggled to keep up with population growth. There is a strong need for new community buildings, but getting them completed can take a long time. By volunteering to lend a hand with building and repairs, you can help speed up tasks that will serve the local community. Moreover, you’ll develop personally and professionally by improving your communication skills and exploring Ubud’s rich culture and natural environment.
Volunteer work can include laying bricks (砖), building with wood, painting, gardening and so on. The tasks often require moving, climbing, or standing for long hours, so strength and a positive attitude are valuable. The volunteers will be teamed up with local workers. They should be willing to get their hands dirty and provide support wherever help is most needed.
Volunteer requirements:
All volunteers joining for 2 or more weeks must get a C6B Visa. An exception (例外) to the above applies if a volunteer will be in Bali for less than 30 days. This exception requires taking part in the Culture Week, Adventure Week, or Yoga and Meditation Week, along with one, two, or three weeks of volunteering. In this situation, the volunteer can join with a tourist visa upon arrival.
To respect the local culture and customs in Bali, volunteers should be aware that they shouldn’t have anything covering their face while at their volunteer placement.
All volunteers should be able to communicate in English and have proper volunteer travel insurance (保险).
1. What are volunteers expected to do in Bali
A. Aid in some community projects. B. Support community health efforts.
C. Educate the locals on green tourism. D. Organize community social services.
2. Who could be most suitable for the volunteer program
A. Those skilled in design work. B. Those experienced in management.
C. Those with great energy and strength. D. Those with good communication skills.

To improve their city, some students from the Kansas City Art Institute take on a special art project. They have spent the past several months designing and painting colorful murals (壁画) in the alleys (小巷) between homes in the historic Northeast neighborhood. “By creating artworks, we aim to turn these old, forgotten alleyways into bright, welcoming spaces,” said Héctor Casanova, the painting professor leading the project.
These students are not working alone. They are teaming up with Linda Fleischman, a former leader in the local neighborhood. “Before the students start, they ask local people for ideas about what the murals should show. We want everyone to feel like this is their art, too. It’s important that they have a voice in what goes on the walls,” said Fleischman.
“We painted wings on one side of the alley, which make you feel you’re flying. On the other side, other students painted vegetables and chickens, which reflect local life. Not only is it beautiful, but it is a little place for people to take photos,” Eku Uresti, one of the art students joining the project, said.
“These buildings used to be covered in messy graffiti (涂鸦). But after the murals were added, graffiti almost completely stopped. People who live here walk more to check the murals out and they are meeting each other and talking more. You can feel that the area has become more lively. It’s helping the neighborhood grow stronger,” said Casanova.
“We all have different styles. It’s no easy job to work as a team,” Carly, one of the art students, said. “But we’re learning how to work together. Sometimes I ask myself, ‘Why am I doing this ’ But when I see the joy it brings to people, I find all my efforts worthwhile. Now we’re turning the alleys into places where people can meet and relax.”
4. What is the primary purpose of the mural project
A. To attract new visitors. B. To practice painting skills.
C. To beautify the neighborhood. D. To protect some ancient walls.
5. How do the local people support the project
A. By suggesting the painting themes. B. By attending mural-opening events.
C. By helping students clean the walls. D. By organizing painting competitions.
6. What change have the murals brought
A. Encouraging daily artistic practices. B. Connecting community people.
C. Marketing modern buildings. D. Making local artists popular.
7. What does Carly think of the art project
A. Easy and relaxing. B. Tiring and confusing.
C. Boring but educational. D. Challenging but meaningful.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D

Psychological ownership (心理所有权) refers to the feeling or belief that something belongs to (属于) oneself. While the idea has been used to study team member behavior in organizational settings, Suzanne Shu, an expert at Cornell University, was among the first researchers to apply it to the field of marketing. She and her co-authors wondered whether psychological ownership would apply to spaces that customers don’t own. By doing two experiments in hotel rooms, they would like to see how hotel guests develop and react (回应) to psychological ownership towards their short-term (短期的) stays.
The first experiment they designed was carried out at the campus hotel at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where they asked guests to choose their hotel room from a map. They can freely pick both their preferred floor level and inside design. “The process didn’t make their check-in process smoother, shorter or more convenient. However, they are more inclined to come back to the hotel and recommend this hotel to other people around them,” said Rin Yoon, a co-author.
In another experiment, the study examined a set of 14,689 reviews (评论) of a hotel in Hawaii on the travel platform TripAdvisor. The study found that guests who wrote reviews with the words “my” or “our” when describing their experience reported higher satisfaction levels on the app. “People aren’t going to use ‘my room’ or ‘our room’ unless they felt a sense of ownership of the place during their stay. This sense possibly shaped their overall experience,” said Shu.
Shu made some changes during a recent hotel stay during a business trip. “One of the first things I did to get myself set up to work was move the table a little bit closer to the window and keep the door open. So I could get more sunlight from the outside,” she said. “If you give a guest the freedom to change their environment a little bit more, such as moving the things around and choosing their favorite bedding pieces, they’ll end up feeling it’s like they’re at home. Even if guests have to spend time in this process, this effort can help hotels build customer loyalty (忠诚).”
8. What do the team’s experiments focus on about psychological ownership
A. Its effect on hotel guests. B. Its popularity in marketing plans.
C. Its role in team member behavior. D. Its connection to check-in service.
9. What does the underlined word “inclined” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Afraid. B. Careful. C. Surprised. D. Likely.
10. What does the use of “my” or “our” in reviews show about customers
A. They look for wider acceptance.
B. They find enjoyment in leaving reviews.
C. They value personal control over a space.
D. They care much about family experiences.
11. Which is Shu’s suggestion for hotels
A. Setting up smart room control systems.
B. Offering home-like design to customers.
C. Asking about one’s personal travel purpose.
D. Allowing guests to personalize their rooms.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了心理所有权的概念，以及康奈尔大学的专家Suzanne Shu及其团队通过两个实验，探究了心理所有权对酒店客人的影响，并提出了酒店可以通过让客人个性化改造房间来增强客人忠诚度的建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“She and her co-authors wondered whether psychological ownership would apply to spaces that customers don’t own. By doing two experiments in hotel rooms, they would like to see how hotel guests develop and react (回应) to psychological ownership towards their short-term (短期的) stays. (她和她的合著者们想知道，心理所有权是否适用于那些顾客并不拥有的空间。他们通过在酒店房间里进行两项实验，希望了解酒店客人如何对其短期住宿产生心理所有权，以及对此会有怎样的反应)”可知，团队的两个实验关注的是心理所有权对酒店客人的影响。故选A项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The first experiment they designed was carried out at the campus hotel at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where they asked guests to choose their hotel room from a map. They can freely pick both their preferred floor level and inside design. (他们设计的第一个实验是在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的校园酒店进行的，他们让客人从地图上选择自己的酒店房间。他们可以自由选择自己喜欢的楼层和室内设计)”以及后文“to come back to the hotel and recommend this hotel to other people around them (回到酒店，并向他们周围的其他人推荐这家酒店)”可知，客人可以自由选择自己喜欢的楼层和室内设计，虽然这并没有让他们的入住过程更顺利、更短或更方便，但是他们更有可能再次回到酒店，并向周围的人推荐这家酒店。故画线词应为“可能的”之意。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The study found that guests who wrote reviews with the words “my” or “our” when describing their experience reported higher satisfaction levels on the app. “People aren’t going to use ‘my room’ or ‘our room’ unless they felt a sense of ownership of the place during their stay. This sense possibly shaped their overall experience,” said Shu. (这项研究发现，在描述自己的体验时使用“我的”或“我们的”这类词汇写评论的客人，在该应用上报告的满意度更高。Shu表示：“人们不会使用‘我的房间’或‘我们的房间’这样的说法，除非他们在入住期间对这个地方产生了一种归属感。这种感觉可能影响了他们的整体体验。”)”可知，客人使用“我的”或“我们的”描述房间，体现了对该空间的所有权感，即重视对空间的个人掌控。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If you give a guest the freedom to change their environment a little bit more, such as moving the things around and choosing their favorite bedding pieces, they’ll end up feeling it’s like they’re at home. Even if guests have to spend time in this process, this effort can help hotels build customer loyalty (忠诚). (如果你给予客人更多改变环境的自由，比如挪动物品、选择他们喜欢的床上用品，他们最终会感觉像在自己家一样。即便客人需要在这个过程中花费时间，这种付出也能帮助酒店建立客户忠诚度)”可知，舒给酒店的建议是让客人个性化改造他们的房间。故选D项。
D
Scientists have recorded plant species for centuries to help us understand and protect them. But according to new research, many have never actually been photographed (拍照) in their natural environment, and that’s a problem.
An Australian team surveyed 33 important online collections of plant photographs to check the photographic record of Australian plant species. The findings showed that out of 21,077 native Australian plant species, almost 20 percent of them remain without photographs that can prove their identity (身份) details. Thomas Mesaglio, the lead author of the study, said, “It is surprising to see how many plant species have just line drawings, paintings, or even no media at all.”
Being unable to use detailed photos can have real effects. Many plant species that are difficult to tell apart in the wild may die out if scientists can’t properly recognize them with the help of photos. “We thought every plant species had simply been photographed by someone somewhere, throughout history. But it turns out this isn’t the case,” said Will Cornwell, another author of the study.
Photographs can help with scientists’ work by keeping characteristics (特征) like flower color that can get lost over time. They can also show additional features. But just as some animals catch less interest than others, some plants are facing the same situation. The most well-photographed plant groups are usually some trees that can be noticed more easily. They usually have special characteristics, such as colorful flowers.
Because digital photography is so convenient now, anyone can help make a meaningful difference to science by using the camera in their pocket. By using online tools like iNaturalist, the public can have their pictures identified (识别) by experts and share the information, which will be used in research and protection.
“We’ve recognized nearly 10 percent of those previously unphotographed species thanks to members of the public sharing their photographs online and experts who’ve kindly identified them,” said Mr. Mesaglio. “There could be many more in personal collections just waiting to be shared. People can get much more excited about plants with photographs.”
12. What did the survey find out regarding Australian plant species
A. A rich source for artistic creation. B. A shortage of supporting photos.
C. A focus on online viewing. D. A sudden fall in numbers.
13. What is stressed (强调) about plant photography in paragraph 3
A. It is challenging in faraway areas. B. It is mainly done by professionals.
C. It often goes unnoticed by scientists. D. It influences the survival of plant species.
14. What does the author want to show by mentioning some animals in paragraph 4
A. Colorful wildlife is far more valuable.
B. Some plants are as eye-catching as animals.
C. Plants with common features get little attention.
D. Animal photography receives wider recognition.
15. Which of the following is encouraged by the author
A. Using digital tools to support plant protection.
B. Taking part in fieldwork to discover new species.
C. Protecting unique plants from being photographed.
D. Sharing valuable plant pictures with local museums.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家对澳大利亚植物物种的摄影记录进行的一项调查，发现近20%的本土植物物种缺乏能够证明其身份细节的照片，强调了摄影对植物物种生存的重要性，并鼓励公众利用数字工具参与植物保护工作。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The findings showed that out of 21,077 native Australian plant species, almost 20 percent of them remain without photographs that can prove their identity (身份) details. (调查结果显示，在21,077种澳大利亚本土植物中，近20%的植物仍然没有可以证明其身份细节的照片)”可知，调查发现澳大利亚植物物种缺乏用于证明其身份的支持性照片。故选B项。
13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Being unable to use detailed photos can have real effects. Many plant species that are difficult to tell apart in the wild may die out if scientists can’t properly recognize them with the help of photos. (无法使用细节丰富的照片可能会产生实际影响。许多在野外难以区分的植物物种，如果科学家无法借助照片准确识别它们，可能会灭绝)”可知，第三段强调了植物摄影影响植物物种的生存，因为缺乏照片会导致科学家无法准确识别物种，可能使其灭绝。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“But just as some animals catch less interest than others, some plants are facing the same situation. The most well-photographed plant groups are usually some trees that can be noticed more easily. They usually have special characteristics, such as colorful flowers. (但就像有些动物不太引人关注一样，有些植物也面临着同样的情况。被拍摄得最多的植物群通常是一些更容易被注意到的树木。它们通常具有特殊的特征，比如色彩艳丽的花朵)”可推知，作者提及动物是为了类比说明具有普通特征的植物很少受到关注，就像有些动物不如其他动物受关注一样，普通植物也难以获得拍摄机会。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Because digital photography is so convenient now, anyone can help make a meaningful difference to science by using the camera in their pocket. By using online tools like iNaturalist, the public can have their pictures identified (识别) by experts and share the information, which will be used in research and protection. (由于如今数码摄影十分便捷，任何人都可以通过使用口袋里的相机为科学做出有意义的贡献。借助像iNaturalist这样的在线工具，公众可以让专家对自己拍摄的照片进行识别，并分享相关信息，这些信息将被用于研究和保护工作)”以及最后一段中Mr. Mesaglio所说的“We’ve recognized nearly 10 percent of those previously unphotographed species thanks to members of the public sharing their photographs online and experts who’ve kindly identified them (多亏了公众在网上分享他们拍摄的照片，以及热心帮忙辨认这些照片的专家们，我们已经确认了那些之前从未被拍摄过的物种中的近10%)”可知，作者鼓励使用数字工具来支持植物保护。故选A项。

Takehito was daydreaming when he heard a voice. “And what performance will you present at the talent show, Takehito ” Takehito’s fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Klein, had spoken and was glaring down at him now.
Takehito had been staring out the window from his desk while Mrs. Klein paced up and down the rows of desks to ask each student what talent he or she would perform for the show. The rest of the class and Takehito’s teacher were now staring and waiting for his answer.
Takehito’s face popped beet-red. He didn’t know what to say. Luckily for him, the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. Takehito quickly gathered his books and got up to leave, but Mrs. Klein stopped him.
Actually, Mrs. Klein worried about Takehito. Last year, he and his mother immigrated from Japan to Chicago. He had not made friends easily. Some of the students in his old class made fun of the way he looked and the way he spoke. Therefore, as his teacher this year, Mrs. Klein was determined to get Takehito to perform in the talent show, knowing that if he did, he would establish some friendships before entering junior high.
“What are you good at ” asked Mrs. Klein.
Takehito, thought for a moment. “I don’t know.”
“What do you mean ” Mrs. Klein continued. “Can you draw Can you play a sport Can you play a musical instrument Can you sing
Mrs. Klein continued listing talents, but Takehito stopped listening as his gazing wandered to a poster on the wall. The poster showed a person doing breakdance (霹雳舞).
“Dancing. I will breakdance!” Takehito interrupted.
Mrs. Klein’s eyes lit up with encouragement. “That’s fantastic, Takehito! Breakdancing is a great choice. I’m sure you’ll do an amazing job.” Her smile was reassuring, and she added, “The talent show is three months away, so you have plenty of time to prepare. I’ll be here to help you prepare if you need it.”
注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That evening, Takehito sat at the dinner table with his mother.

【答案】范文
That evening, Takehito sat at the dinner table with his mother. Hesitant at first, he finally shared, “Mom, Mrs. Klein asked what I’d perform at the talent show, and I said I’d breakdance. But I’ve never danced before.” His mother looked at him with a mixture of surprise and pride. “Breakdancing, huh That sounds exciting! Let’s find you a dance class. You’ll get better with practice.” The following week, Takehito began attending dance classes. The sessions were tough; his muscles ached, and he often stumbled over the moves. But he remembered Mrs. Klein’s encouragement and his mother’s faith in him. He kept pushing through, dedicating himself to mastering each step.
The three months slipped by in a flash, and the day of the talent show was finally here. Takehito stood backstage, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. When his turn finally came, Takehito stepped onto the stage, his heart pounding with anticipation. As the music started, he let the rhythm guide him, his movements flowing with confidence. His energetic performance was a burst of spins, flips, and powerful freezes, captivating everyone in the audience. With every move, the crowd grew more enthusiastic, their cheers growing louder. By the end of his act, the audience was almost on their feet, roaring with applause. Takehito’s face beamed with joy as he felt the infectious excitement of the crowd, knowing he had truly set the stage on fire.

A Volunteer Program in Ubud, Bali
Start dates: tasks start every Monday
Period: choose from 2-12 weeks
Volunteer hours: 4-5 hours per day
Age: volunteers aged 16+ and families
How you can make an influence:
Bali has been growing rapidly for some time and its infrastructure (基础设施) has struggled to keep up with population growth. There is a strong need for new community buildings, but getting them completed can take a long time. By volunteering to lend a hand with building and repairs, you can help speed up tasks that will serve the local community. Moreover, you’ll develop personally and professionally by improving your communication skills and exploring Ubud’s rich culture and natural environment.
Volunteer work can include laying bricks (砖), building with wood, painting, gardening and so on. The tasks often require moving, climbing, or standing for long hours, so strength and a positive attitude are valuable. The volunteers will be teamed up with local workers. They should be willing to get their hands dirty and provide support wherever help is most needed.
Volunteer requirements:
All volunteers joining for 2 or more weeks must get a C6B Visa. An exception (例外) to the above applies if a volunteer will be in Bali for less than 30 days. This exception requires taking part in the Culture Week, Adventure Week, or Yoga and Meditation Week, along with one, two, or three weeks of volunteering. In this situation, the volunteer can join with a tourist visa upon arrival.
To respect the local culture and customs in Bali, volunteers should be aware that they shouldn’t have anything covering their face while at their volunteer placement.
All volunteers should be able to communicate in English and have proper volunteer travel insurance (保险).
1. What are volunteers expected to do in Bali
A. Aid in some community projects. B. Support community health efforts.
C. Educate the locals on green tourism. D. Organize community social services.
2. Who could be most suitable for the volunteer program
A. Those skilled in design work. B. Those experienced in management.
C. Those with great energy and strength. D. Those with good communication skills.
3. Which is a must for joining the volunteer work in Bali
A. Speaking English. B. Wearing a face mask.
C. Getting a tourist visa. D. Attending cultural events.

To improve their city, some students from the Kansas City Art Institute take on a special art project. They have spent the past several months designing and painting colorful murals (壁画) in the alleys (小巷) between homes in the historic Northeast neighborhood. “By creating artworks, we aim to turn these old, forgotten alleyways into bright, welcoming spaces,” said Héctor Casanova, the painting professor leading the project.
These students are not working alone. They are teaming up with Linda Fleischman, a former leader in the local neighborhood. “Before the students start, they ask local people for ideas about what the murals should show. We want everyone to feel like this is their art, too. It’s important that they have a voice in what goes on the walls,” said Fleischman.
“We painted wings on one side of the alley, which make you feel you’re flying. On the other side, other students painted vegetables and chickens, which reflect local life. Not only is it beautiful, but it is a little place for people to take photos,” Eku Uresti, one of the art students joining the project, said.
“These buildings used to be covered in messy graffiti (涂鸦). But after the murals were added, graffiti almost completely stopped. People who live here walk more to check the murals out and they are meeting each other and talking more. You can feel that the area has become more lively. It’s helping the neighborhood grow stronger,” said Casanova.
“We all have different styles. It’s no easy job to work as a team,” Carly, one of the art students, said. “But we’re learning how to work together. Sometimes I ask myself, ‘Why am I doing this ’ But when I see the joy it brings to people, I find all my efforts worthwhile. Now we’re turning the alleys into places where people can meet and relax.”
4. What is the primary purpose of the mural project
A. To attract new visitors. B. To practice painting skills.
C. To beautify the neighborhood. D. To protect some ancient walls.
5. How do the local people support the project
A. By suggesting the painting themes. B. By attending mural-opening events.
C. By helping students clean the walls. D. By organizing painting competitions.
6. What change have the murals brought
A. Encouraging daily artistic practices. B. Connecting community people.
C. Marketing modern buildings. D. Making local artists popular.
7. What does Carly think of the art project
A. Easy and relaxing. B. Tiring and confusing.
C. Boring but educational. D. Challenging but meaningful.
C
Psychological ownership (心理所有权) refers to the feeling or belief that something belongs to (属于) oneself. While the idea has been used to study team member behavior in organizational settings, Suzanne Shu, an expert at Cornell University, was among the first researchers to apply it to the field of marketing. She and her co-authors wondered whether psychological ownership would apply to spaces that customers don’t own. By doing two experiments in hotel rooms, they would like to see how hotel guests develop and react (回应) to psychological ownership towards their short-term (短期的) stays.
The first experiment they designed was carried out at the campus hotel at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where they asked guests to choose their hotel room from a map. They can freely pick both their preferred floor level and inside design. “The process didn’t make their check-in process smoother, shorter or more convenient. However, they are more inclined to come back to the hotel and recommend this hotel to other people around them,” said Rin Yoon, a co-author.
In another experiment, the study examined a set of 14,689 reviews (评论) of a hotel in Hawaii on the travel platform TripAdvisor. The study found that guests who wrote reviews with the words “my” or “our” when describing their experience reported higher satisfaction levels on the app. “People aren’t going to use ‘my room’ or ‘our room’ unless they felt a sense of ownership of the place during their stay. This sense possibly shaped their overall experience,” said Shu.
Shu made some changes during a recent hotel stay during a business trip. “One of the first things I did to get myself set up to work was move the table a little bit closer to the window and keep the door open. So I could get more sunlight from the outside,” she said. “If you give a guest the freedom to change their environment a little bit more, such as moving the things around and choosing their favorite bedding pieces, they’ll end up feeling it’s like they’re at home. Even if guests have to spend time in this process, this effort can help hotels build customer loyalty (忠诚).”
8. What do the team’s experiments focus on about psychological ownership
A. Its effect on hotel guests. B. Its popularity in marketing plans.
C. Its role in team member behavior. D. Its connection to check-in service.
9. What does the underlined word “inclined” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Afraid. B. Careful. C. Surprised. D. Likely.
10. What does the use of “my” or “our” in reviews show about customers
A. They look for wider acceptance.
B. They find enjoyment in leaving reviews.
C. They value personal control over a space.
D. They care much about family experiences.
11. Which is Shu’s suggestion for hotels
A. Setting up smart room control systems.
B. Offering home-like design to customers.
C. Asking about one’s personal travel purpose.
D. Allowing guests to personalize their rooms.
D
Scientists have recorded plant species for centuries to help us understand and protect them. But according to new research, many have never actually been photographed (拍照) in their natural environment, and that’s a problem.
An Australian team surveyed 33 important online collections of plant photographs to check the photographic record of Australian plant species. The findings showed that out of 21,077 native Australian plant species, almost 20 percent of them remain without photographs that can prove their identity (身份) details. Thomas Mesaglio, the lead author of the study, said, “It is surprising to see how many plant species have just line drawings, paintings, or even no media at all.”
Being unable to use detailed photos can have real effects. Many plant species that are difficult to tell apart in the wild may die out if scientists can’t properly recognize them with the help of photos. “We thought every plant species had simply been photographed by someone, somewhere, throughout history. But it turns out this isn’t the case,” said Will Cornwell, another author of the study.
Photographs can help with scientists’ work by keeping characteristics (特征) like flower color that can get lost over time. They can also show additional features. But just as some animals catch less interest than others some plants are facing the same situation. The most well-photographed plant groups are usually some trees that can be noticed more easily. They usually have special characteristics, such as colorful flowers.
Because digital photography is so convenient now, anyone can help make a meaningful difference to science by using the camera in their pocket. By using online tools like iNaturalist, the public can have their pictures identified (识别) by experts and share the information, which will be used in research and protection.
“We’ve recognized nearly 10 percent of those previously unphotographed species thanks to members of the public sharing their photographs online and experts who’ve kindly identified them” said Mr. Mesaglio. “There could be many more in personal collections just waiting to be shared. People can get much more excited about plants with photographs.”

Takehito was daydreaming when he heard a voice. “And what performance will you present at the talent show, Takehito ” Takehito’s fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Klein, had spoken and was glaring down at him now.
Takehito had been staring out the window from his desk while Mrs. Klein paced up and down the rows of desks to ask each student what talent he or she would perform for the show. The rest of the class and Takehito’s teacher were now staring and waiting for his answer.
Takehito’s face popped beet-red. He didn’t know what to say. Luckily for him, the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. Takehito quickly gathered his books and got up to leave, but Mrs. Klein stopped him.
Actually, Mrs. Klein worried about Takehito. Last year, he and his mother immigrated from Japan to Chicago. He had not made friends easily. Some of the students in his old class made fun of the way he looked and the way he spoke. Therefore, as his teacher this year, Mrs. Klein was determined to get Takehito to perform in the talent show, knowing that if he did, he would establish some friendships before entering junior high.
“What are you good at ” asked Mrs. Klein.
Takehito thought for a moment. “I don’t know.”
“What do you mean ” Mrs. Klein continued. “Can you draw Can you play a sport Can you play a musical instrument Can you sing
Mrs. Klein continued listing talents, but Takehito stopped listening as his gazing wandered to a poster on the wall. The poster showed a person doing breakdance (霹雳舞).
“Dancing. I will breakdance!” Takehito interrupted.
Mrs. Klein’s eyes lit up with encouragement. “That’s fantastic, Takehito! Breakdancing is a great choice. I’m sure you’ll do an amazing job.” Her smile was reassuring, and she added, “The talent show is three months away, so you have plenty of time to prepare. I’ll be here to help you prepare if you need it.”
注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That evening, Takehito sat at the dinner table with his mother.
