A
Born
in

her
family.At
the
age
of
two，she
moved
with
her
mother
and
two

take
over
the
role

had
to
pay
the
bills，keep
food
on
the
table，and
make
a
living.Anyway，Shania
managed
to
pay
the
bills
by
singing
here
and
there.
In

went
to

home
of
the
country
music
industry.In

recorded
Shania
Twain，her

also
popular
and
she
had
another
hit
song.
Shania
and
Robert
Lange，a
famous

world
tour，she
decided
to
take
a
break
from
performing.In
August
2001，they
had
a
lovely
son，whom
they
named
Eja.After
September
11th，Shania
decided
to
spend
more
time
on
her
family
and
stayed
at
home
until
the
fall
of
2002.Her
reappearance
in
the

put
her

and
country
music
publications.She
also
began
to

B
Listening
to
music
is
considered
a
good
thing
for
adults.Indeed
it
is.Scientific
studies
have
proven
it.Music
has
so
many
good
effects
on
our
body，mind
and
mood
that
this
world
will
certainly
not
be
a
good
place
without
music.Then，is
music
good
for
children?
Some
parents
think
so
and
let
their
children
learn
or
listen
to
music.But
some
parents
don't
know
the
importance
of
music
to
children.Here
are
some
reasons
why
music
is
important
to
children.
First，music
is
good
for
children's
intelligence.Studies
have
proved
that
children
who
learn
music
are
likely
to
have
higher
intelligence
than
those
who
have
no
interest
in
or
dislike
music.This
is
because
the
brain
gets
stimulated
(刺激)by
the
rhythm
and
tone
of
music.
Music
also
has
soothing
(抚慰的)effect
on
children
and
helps
remove
their
stress.Today's
children
are
under
a
lot
of
stress
from
schoolwork.Being
under
too
much
stress
impairs
children's
health.Luckily，listening
to
music
can
help
them
feel
better.
Music
can
improve
children's
moods.Some
children
are
sad
by
nature.They
seem
to
be
lost
in
their
own
thoughts
and
don't
take
interest
in
their
surroundings.In
such
cases，a
method
known
as
“music
therapy”
comes
to
their
rescue.It
changes
their
moods
and
places
a
new
kind
of
spirit
in
them.
Music
is
also
a
universal
language
that
children
ought
to
learn.Our
world
has
become
a
global
village.People
are
getting
more
and
more
interested
in
other
cultures
and
countries.Music
can
help
them
in
understanding
foreign
cultures.
Now
we
can
say
that
music
is
very
important
not
only
to
adults
but
also
to
children.So
children
should
be
encouraged
to
learn
music
or
listen
to
music.
【语篇解读】 小孩接触音乐对他们很有好处，父母应该多让小孩接触音乐。
5．By
mentioning
scientific
studies
in
Paragraph
1，the
author
wants
to
show
．
A．why
adults
should
listen
to
music
B．children
should
listen
to
music
C．listening
to
music
is
only
good
for
adults
D．why
scientists
are
interested
in
music
A [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Listening
to
music
is
considered
a
good
thing
for
adults.Indeed
it
is.Scientific
studies
have
proven
it.”可知，作者是为了表明听音乐对成人有益处，也就是为什么成年人应该听音乐。]
6．What
does
the
underlined
word
“impairs”
in
Paragraph
3
mean?
A．Harms.
B．Changes.
C．Improves.
D．Shows.
A [词义猜测题。根据“Luckily，listening
to
music
can
help
them
feel
better.”可知，画线词所在的句子是指“太多压力会‘伤害’孩子的健康”。]
7．The
last
but
second
paragraph
shows
that
listening
to
music
means
．
A．learning
languages
better
B．understanding
foreign
cultures
better
C.accepting
the
fast
developing
world
easily
D．showing
greater
interest
in
other
cultures
B [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Music
can
help
them
in
understanding
foreign
cultures.”可知，听音乐可以帮助孩子们更好地理解外国的文化。]
8．What
would
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A．Why
do
Children
Love
Music?
B．How
to
Choose
Music
for
Children
C．How
to
Teach
Children
Music
Easily
D．Why
is
Music
Important
to
Children?
D [标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要是讲为什么音乐对小孩很重要。]
C
Music
for
Humans
and
Humpback
Whales(座头鲸)
As
researchers
conclude
in
Science，the
love
of
music
is
not
only
a
universal
feature
of
the
human
species
but
is
also
deeply
fixed
in
complex
structures
of
the
human
brain
and
is
far
more
ancient
than
previously
suspected.
In
the
articles，researchers
present
various
evidence
to
show
that
music?making
is
at
once
an
original
human
“business”，and
an
art
form
with
skillful
performers
throughout
the
animal
kingdom.
The
new
reports
stress
that
humans
hold
no
copyright
on
sound
wisdom，and
that
a
number
of
non?human
animals
produce
what
can
rightly
be
called
music，rather
than
random
sound.Recent
in?depth
analyses
of
the
songs
sung
by
humpback
whales
show
that，even
when
their
organ
would
allow
them
to
do
otherwise，the
animals
converge
on
the
same
choices
relating
to
sounds
and
beauty，and
accept
the
same
laws
of
song
composition
as
those
preferred
by
human
musicians，and
human
ears，everywhere.
For
example，male
humpback
whales，who
spend
six
months
of
each
year
doing
little
else
but
singing，use
rhythms(节奏)similar
to
those
found
in
human
music
and
musical
phrases
of
similar
length—a
few
seconds.Whales
are
able
to
make
sounds
over
a
range
of
at
least
seven
octaves(八度音阶)，yet
they
tend
to
move
on
through
a
song
in
beautiful
musical
intervals(间隔)，rather
than
moving
forwards
madly.They
mix
the
sounds
like
drums
and
pure
tones
in
a
ratio(比例)which
agrees
with
that
heard
in
much
western
music.They
also
use
a
favorite
technique
of
human
singers，the
so?called
A?B?A
form，in
which
a
theme
is
stated，then
developed，and
then
returned
to
in
slightly
revised
form.
Perhaps
most
impressive，humpback
songs
contain
tunes
that
rhyme.“This
suggests
that
whales
use
rhyme，the
same
way
we
do：as
a
technique
in
poem
to
help
them
remember
complex
materials，”the
researchers
write.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇科普类说明文。全篇以座头鲸为例，阐述了动物和人类一样具备音乐创作的能力，而且座头鲸可以创作出令人愉悦的音乐。
9．The
underlined
words“converge
on”in
Paragraph
3
probably
mean
．
A．tend
towards
B．refer
to
C．turn
into
D．put
forward
A [词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“recent
in?depth
analyses
of
the
songs
sung
by
humpback
whales
show
that，even
when
their
organ
would
allow
them
to
do
otherwise，the
animals
converge
on
the
same
choices
relating
to
sounds
and
beauty”可知，深度分析座头鲸所唱的歌会发现，它们都趋向于发出那种悦耳动听、被大众喜爱的声音。由此推知，converge
on的意思是“趋向于”。]
10．What
is
the
main
idea
of
the
article?
A．Animals
are
able
to
compose
and
enjoy
music
like
humans.
B．Humans
borrow
ideas
in
music
from
humpback
whales.
C．Humpback
whales
are
skillful
performers
in
the
animal
kingdom.
D．Music?making
is
an
ancient
activity
of
both
humans
and
animals.
D [主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“music?making
is
at
once
an
original
human‘business’，and
an
art
form
with
skillful
performers
throughout
the
animal
kingdom”可知，创作音乐并非人类世界的专属，动物世界也同样存在。接下来全文围绕这一观点进行了说明。]
11．The
main
purpose
of
the
passage
is
to
．
A．argue
and
discuss
B．inform
and
explain
C．compare
and
advertise
D．examine
and
assess
B [写作意图题。根据全文内容可知，前两段提出要阐述的话题，动物和人类一样可以创作音乐，之后下文又以座头鲸为例进一步说明解释这一事实，故本文的主要目的是inform
and
explain。]
D
For
the
most
part，you
are
probably
only
exposed
to
the
music
that
is
played
on
your
favourite
radio
programmes，TV
shows,
music
websites
or
the
music
that
your
friends
and
family
members
enjoy.While
you
probably
know
a
lot
about
your
favourite
type
of
music，it
can
be
a
rewarding
experience
to
enlarge
your
horizons
(眼界)，discovering
artists
and
types
of
music
that
you're
not
familiar
with.Who
knows，you
might
discover
you
like
certain
types
of
music
you
never
even
considered.
Have
you
ever
wondered
about
the
history
and
influences
of
your
favourite
types
of
music？For
example，did
you
know
that
rock
and
roll
originated
from
the
blues，and
that
the
blues
began
as
a
form
of
musical
expression
for
African
Americans
during
slavery？Did
you
know
that
most
hip
hop
is
heavily
influenced
by
early
R&B
and
jazz?
There
are
many
fun
ways
to
learn
about
different
musical
styles
and
their
historical
roots.For
example，if
you
like
hip
hop，listen
to
some
of
your
favourite
CDs
and
take
note
of
the
samples
the
performers
used
to
create
the
songs.There
is
a
possibility
that
the
artists
used
parts
of
older
songs
to
create
the
music.You
can
go
to
the
library
or
online
to
learn
more
about
the
artists
and
listen
to
more
of
their
music
by
checking
out
CDs
from
the
library
or
downloading
songs
online
for
a
small
fee.
You
can
learn
so
much
about
culture
and
history
just
by
paying
attention
to
different
types
of
music
and
what
is
being
expressed
in
the
songs.There
are
so
many
different
styles
of
music
to
learn
about，and
you
owe
it
to
yourself
to
make
an
effort
to
listen
to
and
learn
about
them．

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Music
is
part
of
our
life.
16
It
is
the
best
tool
to
use
when
you've
had
a
hard
day.There
are
some
other
great
uses
for
your
collection
of
slow
tracks.
Pregnancy(孕期)
17
Since
fetal(胎儿)brain
development
begins
in
the
fifth
week，it
might
be
a
great
idea
to
try
to
get
your
baby
in
a
relaxed
state
early
on.Some
mothers
do
this
by
putting
earphones
over
their
bellies.
High
Stress
Tasks
18
The
tendency
of
relaxing
sounds
to
slow
you
down
may
really
be
good
for
you
even
if
you
are
trying
to
push
yourself
to
meet
a
deadline.Slowing
down
means
you
have
a
better
chance
at
working
more
carefully
and
preventing
big
mistakes.
19
Going
to
see
the
doctor
or
the
dentist
can
be
somewhat
scary
experiences.You
might
therefore
want
to
request
some
calming
music.
20
If
yours
doesn't，you
might
want
to
bring
your
own
sounds
stored
in
a
device
so
you
can
have
a
more
personal
experience
listening
to
them
with
earphones.
A．Medical
Appointments
B．Important
Interviews
C．Most
people
tend
to
use
calming
music.
D．Many
doctors
actually
already
provide
this.
E．Parents
hope
their
babies
can
grow
under
calming
music.
F．Science
has
proven
that
musical
tones
affect
the
brain
waves.
G．Gentle
tunes
can
help
you
deal
with
stressful
work
well.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了音乐的一些伟大用处。
16．C [C项中的“use
calming
music”与空格后的“the
best
tool
to
use”以及“a
hard
day”相呼应。]
17．F [空格后提到胎儿的大脑在第五周就开始发育，让胎儿早一点接触放松舒缓的音乐是个好主意。F项“科学已经证明，音乐音调影响脑波”符合此处语境。]
18．G [通过本段关键词High
Stress
Tasks可知本段主要讲舒缓音乐对应对压力的好处，故选G项。]
19．A [本段主要讲述舒缓音乐在看病时的应用，故选A项。]
20．D [空格前一句说你在看医生时可能会要求医生准备平静的音乐。空格后一句又说如果你的医生没有准备，你可以用自己的耳机等设备听，由此可知D项“实际上很多医生早已为病人准备舒缓音乐”与前后衔接自然。]
Ⅲ.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
When
I
was
12
years
old，my
grandparents
passed
away.I
was
really
close
to
them，and
losing
them
was
the
hardest
thing
I've
ever
had
to
21
．It
was
as
if
my
whole
world
had
fallen
and
I
22
into
this
huge
hole
of
depression(抑郁).
Although
I
was
fighting
against
depression，it
was
difficult
to
be
23
，but
I
had
to
try.I
joined
a
Women's
Choir(合唱团).Mr.Wright
was
the
choral
director
and
he
was
so
funny
that
the
first
day，I
just
knew
I
had
made
the
best
24
of
my
life.As
the
year
progressed，I
loved
the
chorus
more
and
more.I
began
to
smile
again
and
really
enjoy
25
．
Then
one
day
that
all
changed.My
friends
started
talking
about
me
behind
my
back.I
was
26
，and
I
was
very
sad.Mr.Wright
came
over
and
asked
what
was
wrong.The
look
in
his
eyes
told
me
that
I
could
27

Mr.Wright

who

Jatin
and
his
younger
sister，Neha，lived
with
their
parents
in
a
poor
neighborhood.Their
mother
was
very
sick
and
their
father
was
struggling
to
find
a
job，and
they
had
only
a
little
money
with
which
to
buy
food.As
they
had
not
paid
the
rent
for
several
months，the
landlord
was
breathing
down
their
necks(盯着他们).
One
day，Jatin
took
Neha's
shoes
to
a
shoe
repairman
to
be
fixed，but
he
lost
them
on
the
way
home.It
wasn't
until
he
got
home
that
he
realized
he
had
lost
the
shoes.He
was
afraid
that
his
parents
would
be
angry
and
disappointed，so
he
begged
his
sister
to
keep
it
secret.Neha
agreed
and
the
two
decided
to
share
Jatin's
running
shoes.Neha's
school
hours
were
in
the
morning，so
she
would
wear
them
first.After
school，she
would
rush
back
and
give
them
to
Jatin.He
could
then
run
to
his
school，which
began
in
the
afternoon.Although
he
ran
as
fast
as
he
could，Jatin
often
arrived
late
and
was
warned
by
the
school.
A
long
distance
race
was
going
to
be
held
for
the
boys
in
the
city.When
Jatin
learned
that
the
third
prize
was
a
new
pair
of
shoes，he
decided
to
take
part.He
ran
home
excitedly
and
promised
his
sister
that
he
would
win
her
the
new
shoes.
The
day
of
race
arrived.Jatin
had
a
strong
start，but
halfway
through
the
race
he
began
to
get
tired
and
his
legs
began
to
ache.Getting
more
and
more
exhausted
he
thought
only
of
Neha
and
his
promise
to
her.Dreaming
of
the
new
shoes
he
would
win
for
his
sister
gave
him
strength，and
he
stayed
right
behind
the
two
fastest
runners，determined
to
finish
third.Suddenly，as
the
finish
line
drew
near，another
runner
collided(碰撞)with
Jatin
from
behind
and
Jatin
crashed
to
the
ground.
Paragraph
1：
Jatin
looked
up
and
he
saw
the
other
boys
rushing
ahead.
Paragraph
2：
Filled
with
pleasure，Jatin
walked
home
in
no
time.

Jatin
looked

to
give
up
at
this
key
point，Jatin
clenched
his
teeth，jumped
to
his
feet
and
ran
as
fast
as
he
could.Finally，he
was
the
fourth
one
to
dash
across
the
finish
line.Jatin
couldn't
help
sobbing
at
the
thought
of
letting
his
sister
down.But
much
to
his
surprise，the
runner
who
collided
with
him
was
disqualified
for
breaking
the
rule
and
Jatin
won
the
third
prize.Jatin
felt
overjoyed
and
relieved
during
the
award
ceremony，holding
the
shoes
close
to
his
chest.
Paragraph

Filled

Neha

nervously
and
anxiously.“Neha，see
what
I
have
got
for
you.”Jatin
said
excitedly，taking
the
prize
out
of
his
bag
with
his
trembling
hands.The
instant
Neha
saw
the
shoes，her
face
lit
up.So
thrilled
was
she
that
she
threw
herself
at
Jatin.“Thank
you！Jatin.”Tears
of
joy
welled
up
in
their
eyes
as
the
brother
and
the
sister
hugged
tightly
together.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
A
Born
in
1965，Shania
Twain
was
the
second
of
five
children
in
her
family.At
the
age
of
two，she
moved
with
her
mother
and
two
sisters
to
Timmins，a
town
north
of
Toronto.When
Shania
was
eight
years
old，her
mother
took
her
to
many
different
bars，clubs
and
concerts
to
perform.In
high
school，Shania
joined
a
local
band，with
which
she
often
performed.After
that，Shania
moved

D．Shania
Twain's
opinion
on
music.
B
Listening
to
music
is
considered
a
good
thing
for
adults.Indeed
it
is.Scientific
studies
have
proven
it.Music
has
so
many
good
effects
on
our
body，mind
and
mood
that
this
world
will
certainly
not
be
a
good
place
without
music.Then，is
music
good
for
children?
Some
parents
think
so
and
let
their
children
learn
or
listen
to
music.But
some
parents
don't
know
the
importance
of
music
to
children.Here
are
some
reasons
why
music
is
important
to
children.
First，music
is
good
for
children's
intelligence.Studies
have
proved
that
children
who
learn
music
are
likely
to
have
higher
intelligence
than
those
who
have
no
interest
in
or
dislike
music.This
is
because
the
brain
gets
stimulated
(刺激)by
the
rhythm
and
tone
of
music.
Music
also
has
soothing
(抚慰的)effect
on
children
and
helps
remove
their
stress.Today's
children
are
under
a
lot
of
stress
from
schoolwork.Being
under
too
much
stress
impairs
children's
health.Luckily，listening
to
music
can
help
them
feel
better.
Music
can
improve
children's
moods.Some
children
are
sad
by
nature.They
seem
to
be
lost
in
their
own
thoughts
and
don't
take
interest
in
their
surroundings.In
such
cases，a
method
known
as
“music
therapy”
comes
to
their
rescue.It
changes
their
moods
and
places
a
new
kind
of
spirit
in
them.
Music
is
also
a
universal
language
that
children
ought
to
learn.Our
world
has
become
a
global
village.People
are
getting
more
and
more
interested
in
other
cultures
and
countries.Music
can
help
them
in
understanding
foreign
cultures.
Now
we
can
say
that
music
is
very
important
not
only
to
adults
but
also
to
children.So
children
should
be
encouraged
to
learn
music
or
listen
to
music.
【语篇解读】 小孩接触音乐对他们很有好处，父母应该多让小孩接触音乐。
5．By
mentioning
scientific
studies
in
Paragraph
1，the
author
wants
to
show
．
A．why
adults
should
listen
to
music
B．children
should
listen
to
music
C．listening
to
music
is
only
good
for
adults
D．why
scientists
are
interested
in

6．What
does
the
underlined
word
“impairs”
in
Paragraph
3
mean?
A．Harms.
B．Changes.
C．Improves.
D．Shows.
7．The
last
but
second
paragraph
shows
that
listening
to
music
means
．
A．learning
languages
better
B．understanding
foreign
cultures
better
C.accepting
the
fast
developing
world
easily
D．showing
greater
interest
in
other
cultures
8．What
would
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A．Why
do
Children
Love
Music?
B．How
to
Choose
Music
for
Children
C．How
to
Teach
Children
Music
Easily
D．Why
is
Music
Important
to

C
Music
for
Humans
and
Humpback
Whales(座头鲸)
As
researchers
conclude
in
Science，the
love
of
music
is
not
only
a
universal
feature
of
the
human
species
but
is
also
deeply
fixed
in
complex
structures
of
the
human
brain
and
is
far
more
ancient
than
previously
suspected.
In
the
articles，researchers
present
various
evidence
to
show
that
music?making
is
at
once
an
original
human
“business”，and
an
art
form
with
skillful
performers
throughout
the
animal
kingdom.
The
new
reports
stress
that
humans
hold
no
copyright
on
sound
wisdom，and
that
a
number
of
non?human
animals
produce
what
can
rightly
be
called
music，rather
than
random
sound.Recent
in?depth
analyses
of
the
songs
sung
by
humpback
whales
show
that，even
when
their
organ
would
allow
them
to
do
otherwise，the
animals
converge
on
the
same
choices
relating
to
sounds
and
beauty，and
accept
the
same
laws
of
song
composition
as
those
preferred
by
human
musicians，and
human
ears，everywhere.
For
example，male
humpback
whales，who
spend
six
months
of
each
year
doing
little
else
but
singing，use
rhythms(节奏)similar
to
those
found

For
the
most
part，you
are
probably
only
exposed
to
the
music
that
is
played
on
your
favourite
radio
programmes，TV
shows,
music
websites
or
the
music
that
your
friends
and
family
members
enjoy.While
you
probably
know
a
lot
about
your
favourite
type
of
music，it
can
be
a
rewarding
experience
to
enlarge
your
horizons
(眼界)，discovering
artists
and
types
of
music
that
you're
not
familiar
with.Who
knows，you
might
discover
you
like
certain
types
of
music
you
never
even
considered.
Have
you
ever
wondered
about
the
history
and
influences
of
your
favourite
types
of
music？For
example，did
you
know
that
rock
and
roll
originated
from
the
blues，and
that
the
blues
began
as
a
form
of
musical
expression
for
African
Americans
during
slavery？Did
you
know
that
most
hip
hop
is
heavily
influenced
by
early
R&B
and
jazz?
There
are
many
fun
ways
to
learn
about
different
musical
styles
and
their
historical
roots.For
example，if
you
like
hip
hop，listen
to
some
of
your
favourite
CDs
and
take
note
of
the
samples
the
performers
used
to
create
the
songs.There
is
a
possibility
that
the
artists
used
parts
of
older
songs
to
create
the
music.You
can
go
to
the
library
or
online
to
learn
more
about
the
artists
and
listen
to
more
of
their
music
by
checking
out
CDs
from
the
library
or
downloading
songs
online
for
a
small
fee.
You
can
learn
so
much
about
culture
and
history
just
by
paying
attention
to
different
types
of
music
and
what
is
being
expressed
in
the
songs.There
are
so
many
different
styles
of
music
to
learn
about，and
you
owe
it
to
yourself
to
make
an
effort
to
listen
to
and
learn
about
them．

Music
is
part
of
our
life.
16
It
is
the
best
tool
to
use
when
you've
had
a
hard
day.There
are
some
other
great
uses
for
your
collection
of

Since
fetal(胎儿)brain
development
begins
in
the
fifth
week，it
might
be
a
great
idea
to
try
to
get
your
baby
in
a
relaxed
state
early
on.Some
mothers
do
this
by
putting
earphones
over
their
bellies.

18
The
tendency
of
relaxing
sounds
to
slow
you
down
may
really
be
good
for
you
even
if
you
are
trying
to
push
yourself
to
meet
a
deadline.Slowing
down
means
you
have
a
better
chance
at
working
more
carefully
and
preventing
big
mistakes.
19
Going
to
see
the
doctor
or
the
dentist
can
be
somewhat
scary
experiences.You
might
therefore
want
to
request
some
calming
music.
20
If
yours
doesn't，you
might
want
to
bring
your
own
sounds
stored
in
a
device
so
you
can
have
a
more
personal
experience
listening
to
them
with
earphones.
A．Medical
Appointments
B．Important
Interviews
C．Most
people
tend
to
use
calming
music.
D．Many
doctors
actually
already
provide
this.
E．Parents
hope
their
babies
can
grow
under

music.
F．Science

When
I
was
12
years

passed
away.I
was
really
close

them，and
losing

was
the
hardest
thing
I've
ever

of
depression(抑郁).
Although
I
was
fighting
against
depression，it
was
difficult
to
be
23
，but
I
had
to
try.I
joined
a
Women's
Choir(合唱团).Mr.Wright
was
the
choral
director
and
he
was
so
funny
that
the
first
day，I
just
knew
I
had
made
the
best

of
my
life.As
the
year
progressed，I
loved
the
chorus
more
and
more.I
began
to
smile
again
and
really
enjoy

．
Then
one
day
that
all
changed.My
friends
started
talking
about
me
behind
my
back.I
was
26
，and
I
was
very
sad.Mr.Wright
came
over
and
asked
what
was
wrong.The
look

eyes

hard

told
him
the
whole
story.
When
I
finished，he
nodded
and
told
me，“Remember：No
one
is
worth
stealing
your
tears.”
What
Mr.Wright
said
really
struck
a
chord(心弦)in
my
heart.He
29
cared
about
me
and
what
was
going
on.I'll
never
be
able
to
thank
him
enough，because
he
not
only
has
saved
me
but
has
influenced
every
day
of
my
life
since.Any
time
I

of

choir
at
my
school.
Mr.Wright
is

hero
32
everyone
he
meets.He
cares
about

Jatin
and
his
younger
sister，Neha，lived
with
their
parents
in
a
poor
neighborhood.Their
mother
was
very
sick
and
their
father
was
struggling
to
find
a
job，and
they
had
only
a
little
money
with
which
to
buy
food.As
they
had
not
paid
the
rent
for
several
months，the
landlord
was
breathing
down
their
necks(盯着他们).
One
day，Jatin
took
Neha's
shoes
to
a
shoe
repairman
to
be
fixed，but
he
lost
them
on
the
way
home.It
wasn't
until
he
got
home
that
he
realized
he
had
lost
the
shoes.He
was
afraid
that
his
parents
would
be
angry
and
disappointed，so
he
begged
his
sister
to
keep
it
secret.Neha
agreed
and
the
two
decided
to
share
Jatin's
running
shoes.Neha's
school
hours
were
in
the
morning，so
she
would
wear
them
first.After
school，she
would
rush
back
and
give
them
to
Jatin.He
could
then
run
to
his
school，which
began
in
the
afternoon.Although
he
ran
as
fast
as
he
could，Jatin
often
arrived
late
and
was
warned
by
the
school.
A
long
distance
race
was
going
to
be
held
for
the
boys
in
the
city.When
Jatin
learned
that
the
third
prize
was
a
new
pair
of
shoes，he
decided
to
take
part.He
ran
home
excitedly
and
promised
his
sister
that
he
would
win
her
the
new
shoes.
The
day
of
race
arrived.Jatin
had
a
strong
start，but
halfway
through
the
race
he
began
to
get
tired
and
his
legs
began
to
ache.Getting
more
and
more
exhausted
he
thought
only
of
Neha
and
his
promise
to
her.Dreaming
of
the
new
shoes
he
would
win
for
his
sister
gave
him
strength，and
he
stayed
right
behind
the
two
fastest
runners，determined
to
finish
third.Suddenly，as
the
finish
line
drew
near，another
runner
collided(碰撞)with
Jatin
from
behind
and
Jatin
crashed
to
the
ground.
Paragraph
1：
Jatin
looked
up
and
he
saw
the
other
boys
rushing
ahead.
Paragraph
2：
Filled
with
pleasure，Jatin
walked
home
in
no
time.
