The 97-year-old botanist， Margaret Bradshaw， is the chief caretaker of Teesdale’s rarest flowers.“Everything about Teesdale is unique，” says Bradshaw with pride — and the authority of someone who has just written a 288-page book on the subject.Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases.Her data was the first to prove that — and the need to do something about it.
The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one.The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000， as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep.Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas， reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive.Longer grass overshadows the delicate （娇嫩） flowers， taking away the light they need to grow.As a result of her findings and her work with farmers who herd the land — as well as Natural England， which manages it — sheep numbers are increasing and the timing of herding is being carefully managed.This has led to the partial recovery of some plants.
At 93， she set up Teesdale Special Flora Research and Conservation Trust to record rare plants.A keen horse rider， at 95， she did a 55-mile horse journey across Teesdale， raising almost $10，000 for the Trust.When asked about the secret to longevity， “Just keep going，” she says.“Keep at it.Don’t sit down and just watch TV.”
“I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records.They don’t believe I won’t be here forever，” Bradshaw says.Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land， and the love and energy she has put into saving it， the future here is unknown.The last words of her book speak to this endless loss.“This is our heritage， this unique plant species， mine and yours，” she writes.“In spite of trying， I have failed to prevent its decrease， now it is up to you.”
24.What is Margaret Bradshaw’s main work with the rare plants？（ ）
A.Writing a book. B.Preventing their decrease.
C.Collecting their data. D.Directing farmers to grow plants.
25.What contributed to the reduction of rare plants in Teesdale？（ ）
A.Not enough sheep. B.Lack of fund.
C.Poor management. D.Too many sheep.
26.What can we learn from Bradshaw’s words in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.Unity brings strength. B.Many hands make light work.
C.Youthful at heart， regardless of age. D.Advance what the forerunners began.
27.Which might be a suitable title for the text？（ ）
A.Teesdale：Home to Rare Plants B.Battling for Teesdale’s Wildflowers
C.Bradshaw：A 97-Year-Old Gardener D.Exploring Teesdale’s Unique Plants

To understand the effect of ice melting around the world， we first have to understand what an ice sheet actually is.Covering 5.4 million square miles in Antarctica and 656，000 square miles in Greenland， an ice sheet is actually a huge land of ice from the Ice Age.These sheets form in areas where snow that falls in winter does not melt entirely over the summer.This ice， home to different species of animals， is now melting at a rate that cannot support the life it currently holds.
Many of these creatures rely on ice sheets as land for resting， hunting and protection， yet as the size decreases， they are forced out of their homeland in search of other land on which to live.Often this means journeys to search for food and an imbalanced ecosystem happens when different species are forced together onto the coast.
Since the 1990s， the deer population has dropped by 56 per cent — climate change has caused warmer temperatures over winter， setting off rainfall instead of snow， which freezes more quickly underfoot and makes it harder to walk and search for food.In the summer， frozen layers of land melts and releases trapped diseases which bring death to animals.A similar situation has fallen on the polar bears who suffered a 40 per cent population loss between 2001－2010.
Quite apart from these problems， the threat of sea levels rising if the ice caps were to disappear is approaching.If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted， the sea level would rise around six meters， and if the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted， sea levels would rise by around 20 feet.As a matter of fact， sea levels have risen about eight inches since 1880， three of which we’ve gained over the last 25 years.This seemingly small amount has already caused dangerous flooding， loss of farmland and more deadly storms.
While we’re still a long way from losing the ice sheets all together， we’ve already lost too much and if we don’t take climate change seriously now， we will certainly hit the point of no return.
28.What is an ice sheet according to the passage？（ ）
A.It is an area where ice never melts in summer.
B.It is a land of ice that covers all Greenland.
C.It is a large area of ice that exists for centuries.
D.It is an ice world for animals to live on.
29.How does the melting of ice sheets affect animals？（ ）
A.It makes it easier to travel to other land. B.It increases the population of sea animals.
C.It makes their surroundings more comfortable. D.It causes hunger and illness among animals.
30.What can we infer from paragraph 4？（ ）
A.Ice sheet will soon disappear from the Earth. B.Sea levels are rising faster in recent years.
C.Greenland will be the first to lose all its ice. D.All natural disasters happen due to sea level rise.
31.What could be the best title for this passage？（ ）
A.Effect of Melting Ice Sheets B.Ice， Sea and Animals
C.Greenland and Antarctica D.Changes of Sea Levels

Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back and he’ll be speechless， which is an old joke in the US.This rested on a national stereotype： Italians are talkative and emotional， and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it.
However， Susan Goldin-Meadow， author of the book Thinking with Your Hands， has a rather different view.“Almost everyone gestures， not just Italians，” she laughs.“Conference interpreters gesture in their little rooms， though no one is looking at them.Even people born blind gesture when they speak， including to each other.In the TV series， The Crown， Lady Diana is warned that her hands may reveal her real emotions， which could be dangerous and that they have to be tied together so she can learn to speak without gesturing.”
The gesture under discussion here is the so-called “co-speech gesture”.It is much more abstract than such symbolic gestures like a finger over the lips for “Silence！” or raising a finger to mean “Great！”.Like words， such symbolic gestures are fixed within cultures （but vary between them）.Instead， co-speech gestures that accompany speech are another channel of information and emotion.For example， experimental subjects are asked to watch a film in which a cat runs， but they are told to lie and say it jumped.They may do so in words — while their hands will make a running movement.The co-speech gesture is not sign languages， which have clearly defined words and grammar and differ from place to place just as spoken ones do， either.
And the co-speech gestures have great potential for practical applications.For example， teachers are encouraged both to use gestures themselves and to observe those their students make.Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture in a way that indicates they are on the edge of getting it； they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely in perplexity.
“Children with language delays caused by brain injuries at or around birth are likely to catch up verbally by the age of about 30 months， if they gesture as much as their peers.Those who gesture less are more likely to need early assistance，” Susan Goldin-Meadow adds.“Co-speech gesturing is not just about a lack of control.It is about thinking and communication， and is an aid to both.”
32.What does Susan Goldin-Meadow imply in paragraph 2？（ ）
A.Co-speech gestures are used by all of us.
B.Lady Diana is probably an emotional woman.
C.Italians are very talkative and gesture too much.
D.It is unnatural for the blind to gesture to each other.
33.What can we learn about sign languages？（ ）
A.They are as abstract as co-speech gestures.
B.They have distinctly structured words and grammar.
C.They are usually learned by human beings naturally.
D.They vary from culture to culture and person to person.
34.What does the underlined phrase “in perplexity” in paragraph 4 mean？（ ）
A.Confused. B.Relaxed.
C.Curious. D.Angry.
35.What does the author suggest teachers do in the passage？（ ）
A.Put enough trust in students. B.Teach as many tricky problems as possible.
C.Encourage students to tell the truth. D.Observe the co-speech gestures carefully.

Why dogs chase their tails？ There are some answers to this question， which might surprise you.While tail chasing can be a harmless behavior， sometimes it can indicate a potential issue requiring a vet visit.Below are some common meanings behind your dog chasing its tail.
36.（ ）
It might look like a strange activity to humans， but tail-chasing is a simple way for dogs to let loose and have a little fun.37.（ ） Just keep in mind that a constantly bored or stressed dog might be feeling left out， so make sure its basic needs are being met， including exercise and socialization.

Your dog may have intestinal parasites （肠道寄生虫）.
This is another common reason why dogs chase their tails.It’s also a reason why dogs chew their tails， too.Infections are generally common in young dogs and can even be deadly in some puppies if left untreated.40.（ ） If your dog is chasing their tail a lot， it’s best to rule out any medical issues first， so always get in touch with your vet who will be able to examine them and find the root of the problem.
A.Your dog wants exercise.
B.Your dog is expressing its emotion.
C.Your pup will form the habit of tail chasing.
D.Instead， provide a distraction by giving your dog a new toy or going on a walk.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段， 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Josie and I wanted a dog more than anything else on the earth.We wished for one every time we threw coins in a fountain or watched the evening star drop behind the trees.However， our mother believed that we were still too thoughtless to take on the task of raising a pet.She had witnessed our forgetfulness on household chores and getting into small conflicts.In her eyes， these were signs that we lacked the necessary responsibility.
One summer night， as we sat together on the roof， Josie saw something.She pointed down toward a dark shadow， “What’s that？”
For one astonishing second， Josie and I stared at each other.Then we rushed down onto the doorway.There in our yard stood a black dog.Josie made a little kissing noise and held out her hand.The dog came to us slowly， taking a few steps forward， then a step back， not sure whether to trust us.She was so skinny that I could just feel every bone， and her coat was messy.
“We’re going to have a dog！” My inside was full of excitement， just like before Christmas or our birthday.
“What’s a good name？” said Josie.
The perfect name wrote itself in my mind， “Shadow！”
The next day， we piled together all the pocket money we had to buy all kinds of dog food and hid it in various places because we were afraid Mom wouldn’t approve if she knew we were feeding a homeless dog.
That night， after our parents were asleep， we silently slipped downstairs to feed Shadow.We carefully poured the dog food into the bowl， trying to make as little noise as possible.Shadow， who had been waiting eagerly by our side， wagged her tail.As we placed the bowl on the floor， a creaking （吱吱的） sound filled the house.Suddenly， the kitchen light was switched on， illuminating the room and revealing our shocked faces.
注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式作答。
It was our mother， standing there surprisingly.
Mom decided to give us a chance to prove we could be responsible owners.

M：Basically， I’m just here to help people with any problems — so I meet customers when they come into the store and talk to them.I advise them about the best things to buy.I don’t actually take the money.I just help people decide what to buy.
W：What’s the most difficult thing about your job？
M：Hmm ... well， we sell more than 2，000 different products in the store ... so it’s very difficult to have all the information， to know everything about all the products.
W：What do you like about your job？
M：Well， I’m very interested in technology， computers and everything， and when working in the shop I get the chance to find out about all the latest things.
（Text 10）
M：Next on the program， we’re offering free tickets to go and see a film called Greenland.The film， which tells you all about the plants and animals in that wonderful place， has won a prize at the NATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL.It’s well worth seeing.
The film can only be seen at a new cinema inside the Science Museum.It’s showing this Sunday with performances every hour from midday onwards， with the last showing at 5 o’clock， two hours before the museum closes.
So why not take the whole family to the museum this Sunday？ There are lots to do.Children will want to head straight down to the basement where the computers are kept.I promise you they’ll come away with all sorts of exciting pictures they’ve created.Moving to the first floor， a working steam engine and a life-sized model of a spaceship are among the favourite exhibits.
Entrance to the museum is free on Sundays， but it would normally cost $3.25 to go and see the film.To get your free tickets， you should e-mail this program by midday on Friday.We’ve only got a limited number of tickets， so the earlier you e-mail us， the more likely you are to get one.
So go ahead with the writing after this song.

The 97-year-old botanist， Margaret Bradshaw， is the chief caretaker of Teesdale’s rarest flowers.“Everything about Teesdale is unique，” says Bradshaw with pride — and the authority of someone who has just written a 288-page book on the subject.Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases.Her data was the first to prove that — and the need to do something about it.
The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one.The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000， as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep.Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas， reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive.Longer grass overshadows the delicate （娇嫩） flowers， taking away the light they need to grow.As a result of her findings and her work with farmers who herd the land — as well as Natural England， which manages it — sheep numbers are increasing and the timing of herding is being carefully managed.This has led to the partial recovery of some plants.
At 93， she set up Teesdale Special Flora Research and Conservation Trust to record rare plants.A keen horse rider， at 95， she did a 55-mile horse journey across Teesdale， raising almost $10，000 for the Trust.When asked about the secret to longevity， “Just keep going，” she says.“Keep at it.Don’t sit down and just watch TV.”
“I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records.They don’t believe I won’t be here forever，” Bradshaw says.Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land， and the love and energy she has put into saving it， the future here is unknown.The last words of her book speak to this endless loss.“This is our heritage， this unique plant species， mine and yours，” she writes.“In spite of trying， I have failed to prevent its decrease， now it is up to you.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。97岁的植物学家Margaret Bradshaw是蒂斯代尔最稀有花卉的主要看护人，她希望让更多的人接手并做记录并且开创这个事业。
24.What is Margaret Bradshaw’s main work with the rare plants？（ ）
A.Writing a book.
B.Preventing their decrease.
C.Collecting their data.
D.Directing farmers to grow plants.
解析：C 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知，Bradshaw 从 20 世纪 50 年代初就开始记录这里的珍稀植物，所以她对珍稀植物的主要工作是收集它们的数据。
25.What contributed to the reduction of rare plants in Teesdale？（ ）
A.Not enough sheep. B.Lack of fund.
C.Poor management. D.Too many sheep.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据第二段第二至四句可知，到2000年，蒂斯代尔的绵羊数量减少了一半，减少放牧对这里的植物造成了破坏，因为更长的草遮住了娇嫩的花朵，夺走了它们生长所需的光线。所以导致蒂斯代尔珍稀植物减少的原因是绵羊数量不足。
26.What can we learn from Bradshaw’s words in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.Unity brings strength.
B.Many hands make light work.
C.Youthful at heart， regardless of age.
D.Advance what the forerunners began.
解析：D 推理判断题。在最后一段，Bradshaw 说她一直在努力让更多人接手并做记录，她虽然努力了但未能阻止植物数量减少，现在要靠其他人了。这表明她希望后人能继续她未完成的保护珍稀植物的工作，D项（推进前人开创的事业）符合她的意思。
27.Which might be a suitable title for the text？（ ）
A.Teesdale：Home to Rare Plants
B.Battling for Teesdale’s Wildflowers
C.Bradshaw：A 97-Year-Old Gardener
D.Exploring Teesdale’s Unique Plants
解析：B 标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了 97 岁的植物学家 Margaret Bradshaw 为保护蒂斯代尔的珍稀花卉所做的努力，包括收集数据、发现问题、与各方合作以及呼吁更多人参与等。B 项（为蒂斯代尔的野花而战）能很好地概括文章主旨，适合作文章标题。
C
To understand the effect of ice melting around the world， we first have to understand what an ice sheet actually is.Covering 5.4 million square miles in Antarctica and 656，000 square miles in Greenland， an ice sheet is actually a huge land of ice from the Ice Age.These sheets form in areas where snow that falls in winter does not melt entirely over the summer.This ice， home to different species of animals， is now melting at a rate that cannot support the life it currently holds.
Many of these creatures rely on ice sheets as land for resting， hunting and protection， yet as the size decreases， they are forced out of their homeland in search of other land on which to live.Often this means journeys to search for food and an imbalanced ecosystem happens when different species are forced together onto the coast.
Since the 1990s， the deer population has dropped by 56 per cent — climate change has caused warmer temperatures over winter， setting off rainfall instead of snow， which freezes more quickly underfoot and makes it harder to walk and search for food.In the summer， frozen layers of land melts and releases trapped diseases which bring death to animals.A similar situation has fallen on the polar bears who suffered a 40 per cent population loss between 2001－2010.
Quite apart from these problems， the threat of sea levels rising if the ice caps were to disappear is approaching.If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted， the sea level would rise around six meters， and if the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted， sea levels would rise by around 20 feet.As a matter of fact， sea levels have risen about eight inches since 1880， three of which we’ve gained over the last 25 years.This seemingly small amount has already caused dangerous flooding， loss of farmland and more deadly storms.
While we’re still a long way from losing the ice sheets all together， we’ve already lost too much and if we don’t take climate change seriously now， we will certainly hit the point of no return.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了冰原的融化及其影响，呼吁人们要认真对待气候变化问题。
28.What is an ice sheet according to the passage？（ ）
A.It is an area where ice never melts in summer.
B.It is a land of ice that covers all Greenland.
C.It is a large area of ice that exists for centuries.
D.It is an ice world for animals to live on.
解析：C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的an ice sheet is actually a huge land of ice from the Ice Age可知，冰原就是一大块存在很久的冰地。
29.How does the melting of ice sheets affect animals？（ ）
A.It makes it easier to travel to other land.
B.It increases the population of sea animals.
C.It makes their surroundings more comfortable.
D.It causes hunger and illness among animals.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的makes it harder to walk and search for food ...releases trapped diseases which bring death to animals可知，冰原的融化给动物带来饥饿和疾病。
30.What can we infer from paragraph 4？（ ）
A.Ice sheet will soon disappear from the Earth.
B.Sea levels are rising faster in recent years.
C.Greenland will be the first to lose all its ice.
D.All natural disasters happen due to sea level rise.
解析：B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的As a matter of fact，sea levels have risen... gained over the last 25 years.可推知，近年来，海平面上升得更快了。
31.What could be the best title for this passage？（ ）
A.Effect of Melting Ice Sheets
B.Ice， Sea and Animals
C.Greenland and Antarctica
D.Changes of Sea Levels
解析：A 标题归纳题。根据第一段中的To understand the effect of ice melting around the world以及下文对冰原融化产生的影响的具体描述可知，文章主要介绍了冰原融化的影响。因此A项为文章最佳标题。
D
Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back and he’ll be speechless， which is an old joke in the US.This rested on a national stereotype： Italians are talkative and emotional， and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it.
However， Susan Goldin-Meadow， author of the book Thinking with Your Hands， has a rather different view.“Almost everyone gestures， not just Italians，” she laughs.“Conference interpreters gesture in their little rooms， though no one is looking at them.Even people born blind gesture when they speak， including to each other.In the TV series， The Crown， Lady Diana is warned that her hands may reveal her real emotions， which could be dangerous and that they have to be tied together so she can learn to speak without gesturing.”
The gesture under discussion here is the so-called “co-speech gesture”.It is much more abstract than such symbolic gestures like a finger over the lips for “Silence！” or raising a finger to mean “Great！”.Like words， such symbolic gestures are fixed within cultures （but vary between them）.Instead， co-speech gestures that accompany speech are another channel of information and emotion.For example， experimental subjects are asked to watch a film in which a cat runs， but they are told to lie and say it jumped.They may do so in words — while their hands will make a running movement.The co-speech gesture is not sign languages， which have clearly defined words and grammar and differ from place to place just as spoken ones do， either.
And the co-speech gestures have great potential for practical applications.For example， teachers are encouraged both to use gestures themselves and to observe those their students make.Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture in a way that indicates they are on the edge of getting it； they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely in perplexity.
“Children with language delays caused by brain injuries at or around birth are likely to catch up verbally by the age of about 30 months， if they gesture as much as their peers.Those who gesture less are more likely to need early assistance，” Susan Goldin-Meadow adds.“Co-speech gesturing is not just about a lack of control.It is about thinking and communication， and is an aid to both.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“伴随言语手势”这一概念，说明了手势不仅是意大利人等特定群体的特征，而是几乎所有人在言语时都会使用的辅助表达方式。
32.What does Susan Goldin-Meadow imply in paragraph 2？（ ）
A.Co-speech gestures are used by all of us.
B.Lady Diana is probably an emotional woman.
C.Italians are very talkative and gesture too much.
D.It is unnatural for the blind to gesture to each other.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可推知，几乎每个人都会使用伴随言语手势，即伴随言语手势为我们所有人所使用。
33.What can we learn about sign languages？（ ）
A.They are as abstract as co-speech gestures.
B.They have distinctly structured words and grammar.
C.They are usually learned by human beings naturally.
D.They vary from culture to culture and person to person.
解析：B 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，手语有明确的词汇和语法结构，就像口语一样，不同地区有所不同。
34.What does the underlined phrase “in perplexity” in paragraph 4 mean？（ ）
A.Confused. B.Relaxed.
C.Curious. D.Angry.
解析：A 词义猜测题。根据画线短语所在句可推测，这里将两类学生作对比，一类是做手势显示出快要找到解题思路的学生，与之不同的另一类学生，其手势表明他们处于in perplexity的状态。结合语境可知，画线短语指完全困惑，不理解的状态。confused意为“困惑的”，与此相符。
35.What does the author suggest teachers do in the passage？（ ）
A.Put enough trust in students.
B.Teach as many tricky problems as possible.
C.Encourage students to tell the truth.
D.Observe the co-speech gestures carefully.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，作者建议教师自己要使用手势并且仔细观察学生的手势，也就是要仔细观察学生的伴随言语手势。

Your dog wants your attention.
Tail-chasing is actually a go-to behavior for young dogs who are playing and learning about their bodies.And it’s hard not to smile when you see this happening， especially in puppies， because it’s funny and adorable.But this type of response can cause your pup to keep doing it.Try not to encourage this behavior.39.（ ）
Your dog may have intestinal parasites （肠道寄生虫）.
This is another common reason why dogs chase their tails.It’s also a reason why dogs chew their tails， too.Infections are generally common in young dogs and can even be deadly in some puppies if left untreated.40.（ ） If your dog is chasing their tail a lot， it’s best to rule out any medical issues first， so always get in touch with your vet who will be able to examine them and find the root of the problem.
A.Your dog wants exercise.
B.Your dog is expressing its emotion.
C.Your pup will form the habit of tail chasing.
D.Instead， provide a distraction by giving your dog a new toy or going on a walk.

How to Live a Green Life
Today， we are faced with severe environmental problems， which deserve our attention.As students， there are plenty of things we can do to live a green life.
Above all， it’s important to change our bad living habits.For example， don’t leave the tap running while brushing our teeth or leave the house with the lights still on.What’s more， we’d better cycle or use public transport to school instead of taking a car， thus reducing air pollution.Finally， get rid of plastic bags.Instead， bring your own bags or baskets.
All in all， it’s high time that we should take immediate action.Only when we live a green life can we make a difference to saving our planet.

Josie and I wanted a dog more than anything else on the earth.We wished for one every time we threw coins in a fountain or watched the evening star drop behind the trees.However， our mother believed that we were still too thoughtless to take on the task of raising a pet.She had witnessed our forgetfulness on household chores and getting into small conflicts.In her eyes， these were signs that we lacked the necessary responsibility.
One summer night， as we sat together on the roof， Josie saw something.She pointed down toward a dark shadow， “What’s that？”
For one astonishing second， Josie and I stared at each other.Then we rushed down onto the doorway.There in our yard stood a black dog.Josie made a little kissing noise and held out her hand.The dog came to us slowly， taking a few steps forward， then a step back， not sure whether to trust us.She was so skinny that I could just feel every bone， and her coat was messy.
“We’re going to have a dog！” My inside was full of excitement， just like before Christmas or our birthday.
“What’s a good name？” said Josie.
The perfect name wrote itself in my mind， “Shadow！”
The next day， we piled together all the pocket money we had to buy all kinds of dog food and hid it in various places because we were afraid Mom wouldn’t approve if she knew we were feeding a homeless dog.
That night， after our parents were asleep， we silently slipped downstairs to feed Shadow.We carefully poured the dog food into the bowl， trying to make as little noise as possible.Shadow， who had been waiting eagerly by our side， wagged her tail.As we placed the bowl on the floor， a creaking （吱吱的） sound filled the house.Suddenly， the kitchen light was switched on， illuminating the room and revealing our shocked faces.
注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式作答。
It was our mother， standing there surprisingly.
Mom decided to give us a chance to prove we could be responsible owners.
参考范文：
It was our mother， standing there surprisingly. Her eyes widened as she saw the scene before her.For a moment， there was silence， only with the creaking sound still lingering in the air.Stammering， we tried to explain to her.We told her about how we found Shadow and our longing for a dog， hoping that somehow our mother would understand it.After a long pause， she finally spoke， “I can see how much you both care for Shadow， and maybe it’s time for us to give her a home.”
Mom decided to give us a chance to prove we could be responsible owners. From that day on， we poured our hearts into taking care of Shadow.We woke up early every morning to take her for walks and diligently cleaned up after her.Gradually， Shadow transformed before our eyes.Her coat became shiny and healthy， and she gained weight.She followed us everywhere like a second Shadow.Not only had we achieved our dream of having a dog， we had also earned our mother’s trust and respect.
