My daughter Emma is in Grade 7. In her class, there is a boy called Jake. He is quite overweight, so he is always made fun of.
For several nights Emma came home from school, feeling upset (难过的) about that. She also mentioned that Jake had no school things because his family couldn't afford them. She said she wanted to help him.
So the next day Emma asked Jake to make a list for her. She would bring the school things that she had at home for him. Jake was very thankful and made a small list: erasers, pens and pencils.
That evening Emma and I went to the store and we bought everything on his list. Emma also mentioned that Jake needed a new pencil box. When we got home, we put all the supplies (供给物) into a new schoolbag because Jake didn't have one. Emma wrote a little note saying “Hope you have everything you need and enjoy the supplies” and put it in the schoolbag.
The next day, I asked the school headmaster to give the schoolbag to Jake. After Jake read the little note, he thanked Emma many times and said he loved everything.

My name is Mark Baker and I was seven years old when I first saw Gwrych Castle. I was in the car with my parents when we drove past it. I fell in love with the place right away.
It looks quite old. A rich man called Lloyd Hesketh Bamford-Hesketh built the castle in 1819. He liked medieval (中世纪的) castles so he decided that he wanted one!
In the last hundred years, the castle has been many different things. It was used as a training venue (场地) for Randolph Turpin in the early 1950s. In the early 60s it was a venue for the famous motorcycle Dragon Rally. When I saw it, I felt sad because it was in very poor condition. Some of the walls had fallen down, and the glass from the windows had gone. When it rained, everything got wet.
I decided to do something to protect the castle. So when I was eleven, I started a campaign (运动) to save it. Later, this became the Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust.
__________ We have held different events (运动项目) to raise money, and I have given lots of talks about the castle and its history. I have written three books about the castle and I have even met the Prince of Wales and the Prime Minister!
I hope that we will be able to save the castle, so that people from all over the world will be able to come here and enjoy it. You can go to our website at www.gwrychtrust.co.uk.

【体裁】说明文
【话题】天气
【大意】材料介绍了一种奇特的天气现象——幻日。
61. side。由下一句中的around 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock可知幻日是出现在太阳两“边”的一对明亮的光斑。空格前面的either提示该空用原形。
62. them。该空填them，指代上一句中的a pair of bright spots。所填词在该句中作see的宾语，因此用宾格形式。

67. believed。sundogs were magical events or a sign of ...是过去人们对幻日的一种“认识”，因此该空选believe，因为讲述的是过去的情况，所以用动词的过去式believed。
68. writers。空格后面的William Shakespeare和Jack London都是作家的名字，因此该空填writers。
69. amazing。该空填amazing，和scary相对应。
70. about。空格后面的them指代sundogs，该处意思是“摇滚乐队甚至写了关于它们(幻日)的歌”。
