Matilda
Roald
Dahl
I
once
wrote
a
paper
on
the
influence
of
fairy
tales
on
Roald
Dahl’s
writing
and
it
gave
me
a
new
appreciation
for
his
strange
and
delightful
words.
Matilda’s
battles
with
her
cruel
parents
and
the
bossy
headmistress,
Miss
Trunchbull,
are
equally
funny
and
frightening,
but
they’re
also
aspirational.
After
Dark
Haruki
Murakami
It’s
about
two
sisters—Eri,
a
model
who
either
won’t
or
can’t
stop
sleeping,
and
Mari,
a
young
student.
In
trying
to
connect
to
her
sister,
Mari
starts
changing
her
life
and
discovers
a
world
of
diverse
“night
people”
who
are
hiding
secrets.
Gone
Girl
Gillian
Fynn
There
was
a
bit
of
me
that
didn’t
want
to
love
this
when
everyone
else
on
the
planet
did,
but
the
horror
story
is
brilliant.
There’s
tension
and
anxiety
from
the
beginning
as
Nick
and
Amy
battle
for
your
trust.
It’s
a
real
whodunit
and
the
frustration
when
you
realise
what’s
going
on
is
horribly
enjoyable.
The
Stand
Stephen
King
This
is
an
excellent
fantasy

After
a
serious

outbreak
wipes
out
99.4%
of
the
world’s
population,
a
battle
unfolds
between
good
and
evil
among
those
left.
Randall
Flagg

of
the
This

Dark中It’s
about
two
sister—Eri,
a
model
who
either
won’t
or
can’t
stop
sleeping,

Mari,
a

B
Nowadays,
many
of
us
spend
about
10
hours
a
day
in
front
of
a
Computer
or
other
electronic
devices
and
less
than
30
minutes
a
day
outdoors.
The
result
is
that
our
Brain
easily
feels
tired.
We
need
to
give
the
brain
a
rest,
but
how?
David
Strayer
is
a
professor
of
psychology
at
the
University
of
Utah.
He
claims
that
camping
may
be
just
what
a
tech-tired
brain
needs.
His
argument
finds
strong
support
from
Carl
and
Kate,
two
experienced
campers.
Carl,
who
works
for
a
mobile
phone
company,
says
that
being
outdoors
makes
him
feel
relaxed.
It
also
prepares
him
for
the
work
he
must
do.
"Camping
gives
us
a
chance
to
be
in
touch
with
nature
and
it's
very
relaxing.
When
you
return
to
work
on
Monday,
you're
in
a
better
state
of
mind.
I
really
like
the
way
I
feel
on
Monday.
Kate
is
a
senior
editor.
She
says
camping
brings
her
some
peace
she
couldn't
have
otherwise.
She
even
finds
herself
more
creative.
David
Strayer
explains
that
camping
allows
close
contact
with
nature
and
being
in
nature
calms
the
brain
and
helps
it
to
focus.
When
people
go
camping,
they
need
to
learn
about
animals
and
natural
environments;
they
have
to
deal
with
the
weather,
learn
to
stay
dry
in
the
rain
or
warm
in
the
snow
and
have
to
keep
the
feet
in
good
condition
when
hiking
and
walking.
Some
might
say
that
taking
a
long
walk
in
the
woods
or
by
the
ocean
or
in
a
city
park
is
wonderful,
too.
But
camping
requires
that
one
spend
more
time
in
nature
and
it
can
test
him
in
different
ways.
And
it
brings
more
health
benefit
as
well.

William
Shakespeare
was
the
greatest
writer
in
the
English
language
and
is
known
around
the
world.
But
how
much
do
you
really
know
about
him?
Shakespeare
was
born
in
Stratford
upon
Avon,
located
in
central
England,
in
1564.
At
age
18,
he
married
Anne
Hathaway
and
they
had
three
children.
Then
Shakespeare
went
to
London
to
work
as
an
actor
and
writer.
In
1599，the
Globe
Theatre
was
built
in
London.
It
was
in
this
theatre
that
some
of
Shakespeare's
plays
were
first
performed.
In
1613.
the
theatre
was
destroyed
by
a
fire.
However.
a
modern
reconstruction
of
the
theatre
was
built
near
the
original
site
in
1997,
so
even
today
you
can
go
to
the
Globe
Theatre
to
see
one
of
Shakespeare's
plays.
His
surviving
works
consist
of
38
plays,
154

poems.
He
is

for
his
plays.
which

been
translated
into

major
language
and
are
performed
more
than
those
of
any
other
playwright
(剧作家)
in
the
world.
Shakespeare's
works
remain
very
popular.
But
why
do
we
like
these
old
plays?
Perhaps
it
is
because
they
all
contain
fantastic
stories.
His
characters
suffer
bloody
battles,
deaths
by
poison,
and
dramatic
family
battles.
His
plays
are
full
of
exciting
storylines
and
lessons
about
morality.
Hamlet,
for
example,
is
about
revenge
(复仇)
and
also
about
how
difficult
it
is
to
take
action
sometimes,
even
when
it
is
important
to
do
so.
Hamlet's
father
is
murdered
by
another
man,
who
then
marries
Hamlet's
mother,
Everybody
wants
to
see
Hamlet
dead.
Hamlet
must
take
revenge.
but
will
he
be
able
to?
The
famous
quote“To
be

that
is
the
question"
comes
from
this
play.

D
While
we
may
think
it
feels
good
to
complain,
complaining
has
some
bad
effects
associated
with
it.
Why
isn't
complaining
beneficial?
Research
shows
that
it
connects
our
brain
with
negativity.The
brain
is
designed
to
work
efficiently.This
means
that
when
we
repeat
a
thought,
negative
or
positive,
the
nerve
cells
form
a
bridge
between
each
other
to
pass
information
in
a
higher
speed.Therefore,
the
next
time
we
have
a
similar
type
of
thought,
it
is
more
easily
passed.This
explains
why
certain
thought
patterns
become
habits.
Yet
the
harmful
effects
don't
stop
there.A
study
shows
that
complaining
causes
the
hippocampus(海马区),
which
plays
a
vital
role
in
problem-solving,
to
become
smaller.
In
addition
to
causing
brain
damage,
complaining
also
releases
a
stress
hormone:
cortisol,
a
kind
of
chemical
the
body
produces
when
we
meet
with
some
danger.Constantly
having
a
high
level
of
cortisol
results
in
high
blood
pressure,
high
blood
sugar,
and
lower
immunity(免疫力).
The
ill
effects
of
our
complaining
aren't
just
limited
to
ourselves:
they
also
involve
those
around
us.We
tend
to
mirror
the
moods
of
our
friends.For
this
reason,
we
should
be
cautious
about
having
stubborn
complainers
in
our
circle
of
companions.
The
best
way
to
deal
with
constant
negativity
is
to
develop
a
sense
of
gratitude(感恩).Just
like
complaining
acts
as
a
poison,
gratitude
acts
as
a
medicine.Research
shows
it
lowers
cortisol
levels
by
23
percent,
as
well
as
reduces
blood
pressure
and
blood
sugar.It
also
decreases
tiredness
and
depression.Gratitude
is
the
perfect
cure
for
complaining,
a
behavior
that
steals
our
brain
power,
happiness
and
physical
well-being.
What
have
you
observed
about
the
effects
of
complaining
in
your
own
life
or
in
the
lives
of
others?
Have
you
noticed
that
when
you
are
grateful,
you
feel
better
all
over?
Please

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。一项研究表明，抱怨会导致在解决问题时起重要作用的海马区变小。除了造成大脑损伤，抱怨还会释放一种压力荷尔蒙:皮质醇，持续高水平的皮质醇会导致高血压、高血糖和免疫力下降。处理持续负面情绪的最好方法是培养一种感恩的意识。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段Yet
the
harmful
effects
don't
stop
there.
A
study
shows
that
complaining
causes
the
hippocampus
which
plays
a
vital
role
in
problem-solving,
to
become
smaller.（然而，有害影响还不止于此。一项研究表明，抱怨会导致在解决问题时起重要作用的海马区变小。）以及第二段主要解释了抱怨如何对大脑产生消极影响的。故可知第2-3段主要谈论抱怨对脑力的不良影响。故选C。

Can
you

you?
And
can
you
imagine
not

on
him
or

___17___We
don't
realize
that
people
in
other
places
often
get
married
in
very
different
ways—and
with
different
motives(动机)．
___18___A
marriage
provides
a
safe
and
stable
home
for
the
husband
and
wife.
It
also
joins
children,
making
sure
the
couple
will
be
taken
care
of
in
old
age.
Because
a
marriage
is
important
for
the
whole
family,
some
cultures
don't
let
young
people
choose
whom
to
marry.
Just
as
there
are
many
different
reasons
for
marriage,
there
are
also
many
different
wedding
rituals(仪式),___19___In
a
typical
Western
wedding,
the
bride
seeks
good
luck
by
wearing
“something
old,
something
new,
something
borrowed
and
something
blue.”
Something
old
represents
the
past.
Something
new
represents
success
in
the
future.
Something
borrowed
reminds
the
bride
she
can
get
help
from
her
friends
and
family.___20___
In
Poland,
one
wedding
tradition
is
not
only
lucky,
but
also
very
practical.
The
wedding
guests
pin
money
to
the
bride's
dress
while
she
is
dancing.
Th
e
money
is
meant
to
bring
luck
and
to
help
the
young
couple
build
their
new
life.
In
Bermuda,
the
young
couple
plants
a
tree
in
the
yard
of
their
new
home.
Once
they
move
in,
they
take
good
care
of
the
tree
,
making
it
grow
and
blossom.
The
planting
of
the
tree
is
a
good
metaphor(隐喻)
for
marriage.___21___
A.
Every
culture
has
its
own
ways
of
bringing
good
luck
to
the
happy
couple.
B.
A
truly
good
marriage
is
something
that
grows
with
care.
C.
In
the
United
States,
parents
do
not
arrange
marriages
for
their
children.
D
And
something
blue
reminds
her
to
be
true
to
her
husband.
E.
Marriage
customs
around
the

often
differ
from
our

In

【答案】Dear
David,
I'm
sorry
to
hear
that
you
are
addicted
to
King
of
Glory.
Spending
too
much
time
and
energy
on
games
is
harmful
to
our
health
and
they
are
not
real.
If
you
lose
yourself
in
the
games,
you
may
become
isolated
from
the
real
world
and
ignore
the
beauty
and
love
in
life.
In
my
opinion,
you
can
try
other
things
to
distract
your
attention.
For
example,
you
can
play
basketball
or
take
part
in
other
sports
with
your
friends,
which
can
not
only
help
you
keep
healthy,
but
strengthen
your
friendship.
Besides,
you
can
also
communicate
with
your
parents
and
friends,
sharing
your
happiness
and
sorrow
with
them.
Last
but
not
least,
you
can
read
some
interesting
books
to
expand
your
knowledge
in
your
spare
time.
I
will
be
happy
if
you
could
get
rid
of
the
game,
looking
forward
to
your
good
news.
Yours,
Li
Hua.

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。
Fifteen
years
ago,
I
was
born
in
a
big
family.
I
had
been
taught
that
money
couldn’t
buy
everything
ever
since
I
was
a
little
kid.
My
parents
are
the
most
hard-working
people
I
have
ever
seen.
As
much
as
my
parents
tried
to
teach
me
these
values,
some
could
only
be
learned
through
personal
experiences.
As
a
child,
I
would
sit
in
the
church
trying
to
concentrate
on
the
words
of
the
priest
(牧师),
but
my
attention
was
soon
attracted
by
the
shining
gold
and
the
diamonds
worn
by
the
Saturday
churchgoers.
As
my
eyes
began
to
wander,
I
noticed
men
dressed
in
their
tailored
suits
and
shirts
accompanied
by
women
in
their
designer
dresses
with
matching
handbags
and
shoes.
My
family,
on
the
other
hand,
was
the
opposite
of
rich.
Our
hand-me-down
clothes
had
been
washed
so
many
times
that
the
colors
had
become
dull
and
lifeless.
Although
this
revealed
the
money
struggles
of
our
large
family,
our
faces
were
always
washed
and
hair
neatly
combed.
When
sitting
on
the
old
big
red
and
white
truck
after
the
service,
I
pictured
the
lives
led
by
those
driving
their
brand-new
cars,
wishing
I
would
be
one
of
them.
I
never
stopped
those
fantasies,
even
when
I
was
in
middle
school.
Since
it
was
a
private
school,
most
of
the
children
came
from
wealthy
families.
As
a
result,
I
constantly
felt
ashamed.
Although
I
could
hide
my
lack
of
wealth
at
school
by
wearing
our
school
uniforms,
my
poverty
was
embarrassingly
apparent
on
weekends
with
my
classmates
wearing
designer
jeans
and
I
had
no
choice
but
to
wear
my
sister’s
old
jeans.
I
never
fitted
in
with
my
classmates.
To
my
relief,
there
was
only
one
girl
named
Julie
who
opened
her
heart
to
me.
I
was
attached
to
her
like
a
shadow.
Soon,
her
birthday
was
approaching.
Julie
invited
me
to
attend
her
birthday
party.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】However,
I
grew
upset
as
I
couldn’t
afford
a
gift.
It
would
be
embarrassing
to
be
present
without
gift,
but
her
insistence
put
me
in
dilemma.
Ultimately,
I
accepted
her
invitation
against
my
will.
I
was
wondering
what
to
do
when
the
values
my
parents
taught
me
flashed
across
my
mind.
“Why
not
make
gift
by
myself?”
I
made
a
toy
with
materials
on
hand
and
put
it
into
box.
Finally,
the
big
day
came.
When
she
opened
the
gift
box,
my
heart
missed
a
beat.
On
seeing
the
toy,
the
boys
and
girls
froze
with
surprise
and
then
burst
into
laughter.
I
lowered
my
head
in
shame,
tears
streaming
down
my
cheeks.
At
this
moment,
Julie
came
over
and
hugged
me
tightly,
saying
it
was
the
best
gift
that
she
had
ever
received.
I
brightened
up
at
her
words
and
was
fully
aware
that
money
couldn’t
buy
every
thing.
It
was
our
friendship
that
really
mattered.
I
would
cherish
this
moment
forever.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者小时候生活穷，勤劳的父母教育她金钱并不是万能的。作者中学时就读的是私立学校，众多的富家子弟日常生活中表现出的阔绰与她拮据的生活形成鲜明对比，使她难以融入身边同学的生活圈子。幸亏有Julie同学乐意与她交好朋友，她俩形影不离。Julie邀请她参加她的生日聚会，家境贫困的她该送什么礼物呢？续写部分描写她的矛盾心理与最后送礼结局，以她亲身经历告知大家：纯真的友谊是金钱买不到的。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：然而，我内心非常忐忑，因为付不起购买礼物的钱……，所以应该写收到邀请后内心的忐忑，以及想起父母的教诲，不要以金钱去解决，而是自己动手制作一个玩具作为礼物，为参加生日聚会做好准备。第二段开头是：当她打开礼物时，我的心非常紧张。本段应该写打开礼物瞬间在场的人看到她自制的玩具的反映，及看到他人嘲笑时的心理感觉。所幸的是，朋友很喜欢她送的礼物，因为那是她用心自己动手为她做的。朋友的肯定，使她进一步明白金钱并不能买到一切，尤其是友情。
本篇以一般过去时为主。

Matilda
Roald
Dahl
I
once
wrote
a
paper
on
the
influence
of
fairy
tales
on
Roald
Dahl’s
writing
and
it
gave
me
a
new
appreciation
for
his
strange
and
delightful
words.
Matilda’s
battles
with
her
cruel
parents
and
the
bossy
headmistress,
Miss
Trunchbull,
are
equally
funny
and
frightening,
but
they’re
also
aspirational.
After

Haruki
Murakami
It’s
about
two
sisters—Eri,
a
model
who
either
won’t
or
can’t
stop
sleeping,
and
Mari,
a
young
student.
In
trying
to
connect
to
her
sister,
Mari
starts
changing
her
life
and
discovers
a
world
of
diverse
“night
people”
who
are
hiding
secrets.
Gone
Girl
Gillian
Fynn
There
was
a
bit
of
me
that
didn’t
want
to
love
this
when
everyone
else
on
the
planet
did,
but
the
horror
story
is
brilliant.
There’s
tension
and
anxiety
from
the
beginning
as
Nick
and
Amy
battle
for
your
trust.
It’s
a
real
whodunit
and
the
frustration
when
you
realise
what’s
going
on
is
horribly
enjoyable.

Nowadays,
many
of
us
spend
about
10
hours
a
day
in
front
of
a
Computer
or
other
electronic
devices
and
less
than
30
minutes
a
day
outdoors.
The
result
is
that
our
Brain
easily
feels
tired.
We
need
to
give
the
brain
a
rest,
but
how?
David
Strayer
is
a
professor
of
psychology
at
the
University
of
Utah.
He
claims
that
camping
may
be
just
what
a
tech-tired
brain
needs.
His
argument
finds
strong
support
from
Carl
and
Kate,
two
experienced
campers.
Carl,
who
works
for
a
mobile
phone
company,
says
that
being
outdoors
makes
him
feel
relaxed.
It
also
prepares
him
for
the
work
he
must
do.
"Camping
gives
us
a
chance
to
be
in
touch
with
nature
and
it's
very
relaxing.
When
you
return
to
work
on
Monday,
you're
in
a
better
state
of
mind.
I
really
like
the
way
I
feel
on
Monday.
Kate
is
a
senior
editor.
She
says
camping
brings
her
some
peace
she
couldn't
have
otherwise.
She
even
finds
herself
more
creative.
David
Strayer
explains
that
camping
allows
close
contact
with
nature
and
being
in
nature
calms
the
brain
and
helps
it
to
focus.
When
people
go
camping,
they
need
to
learn
about
animals
and
natural
environments;
they
have
to
deal
with
the
weather,
learn
to
stay
dry
in
the
rain
or
warm
in
the
snow
and
have
to
keep
the
feet
in
good
condition
when
hiking
and
walking.
Some
might
say
that
taking
a
long
walk
in
the
woods
or
by
the
ocean
or
in
a
city
park
is
wonderful,
too.
But
camping
requires
that
one
spend
more
time
in
nature
and
it
can
test
him
in
different
ways.
And
it
brings
more
health
benefit
as
well.

William
Shakespeare
was
the
greatest
writer
in
the
English
language
and
is
known
around
the
world.
But
how
much
do
you
really
know
about
him?
Shakespeare
was
born
in
Stratford
upon
Avon,
located
in
central
England,
in
1564.
At
age
18,
he
married
Anne
Hathaway
and
they
had
three
children.
Then
Shakespeare
went
to
London
to
work
as
an
actor
and
writer.
In
1599，the
Globe
Theatre
was
built
in
London.
It
was
in
this
theatre
that
some
of
Shakespeare's
plays
were
first
performed.
In
1613.
the
theatre
was
destroyed
by
a
fire.
However.
a
modern
reconstruction
of
the
theatre
was
built
near
the
original
site
in
1997,
so
even
today
you
can
go
to
the
Globe
Theatre
to
see
one
of
Shakespeare's
plays.
His
surviving
works
consist
of
38
plays,
154
sonnets
and
some
other
poems.
He
is
best
known
for
his
plays.
which
have
been
translated
into
every
major
language
and
are
performed
more
than
those
of
any
other
playwright
(剧作家)
in
the
world.
Shakespeare's
works
remain
very
popular.
But
why
do
we
like
these
old
plays?
Perhaps
it
is
because
they
all
contain
fantastic
stories.
His
characters
suffer
bloody
battles,
deaths
by
poison,
and
dramatic
family
battles.
His
plays
are
full
of
exciting
storylines
and
lessons
about
morality.
Hamlet,
for
example,
is
about
revenge
(复仇)
and
also
about
how
difficult
it
is
to
take
action
sometimes,
even
when
it
is
important
to
do
so.
Hamlet's
father
is
murdered
by
another
man,
who
then
marries
Hamlet's
mother,
Everybody
wants
to
see
Hamlet
dead.
Hamlet
must
take
revenge.
but
will
he
be
able
to?
The
famous
quote“To
be
or
not
to
be,
that
is
the
question"
comes
from
this
play.

While
we
may
think
it
feels
good
to
complain
complaining
has
some
bad
effects
associated
with
it.
Why
isn't
complaining
beneficial?
Research
shows
that
it
connects
our
brain
with
negativity.The
brain
is
designed
to
work
efficiently.This
means
that
when
we
repeat
a
thought,
negative
or
positive,
the
nerve
cells
form
a
bridge
between
each
other
to
pass
information
in
a
higher
speed.Therefore,
the
next
time
we
have
a
similar
type
of
thought,
it
is
more
easily
passed.This
explains
why
certain
thought
patterns
become
habits.
Yet
the
harmful
effects
don't
stop
there.A
study
shows
that
complaining
causes
the
hippocampus(海马区)
which
plays
a
vital
role
in
problem-solving,
to
become
smaller.
In
addition
to
causing
brain
damage,
complaining
also
releases
a
stress
hormone:
cortisol,
a
kind
of
chemical
the
body
produces
when
we
meet
with
some
danger.Constantly
having
a
high
level
of
cortisol
results
in
high
blood
pressure,
high
blood
sugar,
and
lower
immunity(免疫力).
The
ill
effects
of
our
complaining
aren't
just
limited
to
ourselves:
they
also
involve
those
around
us.We
tend
to
mirror
the
moods
of
our
friends.For
this
reason,
we
should
be
cautious
about
having
stubborn
complainers
in
our
circle
of
companions.
The
best
way
to
deal
with
constant
negativity
is
to
develop
a
sense
of
gratitude(感恩).Just
like
complaining
acts
as
a
poison,
gratitude
acts
as
a
medicine.Research
shows
it
lowers
cortisol
levels
by
23
percent,
as
well
as
reduces
blood
pressure
and
blood
sugar.It
also
decreases
tiredness
and
depression.Gratitude
is
the
perfect
cure
for
complaining,
a
behavior
that
steals
our
brain
power,
happiness
and
physical
well-being.
What
have
you
observed
about
the
effects
of
complaining
in
your
own
life
or
in
the
lives
of
others?
Have
you
noticed
that
when
you
are
grateful
you
feel
better
all
over?

Africa.
___17___We
don't
realize
that
people
in
other
places
often
get
married
in
very
different
ways—and
with
different
motives(动机)．
___18___A
marriage
provides
a
safe
and
stable
home
for
the
husband
and
wife.
It
also
joins
children,
making
sure
the
couple
will
be
taken
care
of
in
old
age.
Because
a
marriage
is
important
for
the
whole
family,
some
cultures
don't
let
young
people
choose
whom
to
marry.
Just
as
there
are
many
different
reasons
for
marriage,
there
are
also
many
different
wedding
rituals(仪式),___19___In
a
typical
Western
wedding,
the
bride
seeks
good
luck
by
wearing
“something
old,
something
new,
something
borrowed
and
something
blue.”
Something
old
represents
the
past.
Something
new
represents
success
in
the
future.
Something
borrowed
reminds
the
bride
she
can
get
help
from
her
friends
and
family.___20___
In
Poland,
one
wedding
tradition
is
not
only
lucky,
but
also
very
practical.
The
wedding
guests
pin
money
to
the
bride's
dress
while
she
is
dancing.
Th
e
money
is
meant
to
bring
luck
and
to
help
the
young
couple
build
their
new
life.
In
Bermuda,
the
young
couple
plants
a
tree
in
the
yard
of
their
new
home.
Once
they
move
in,
they
take
good
care
of
the
tree
,
making
it
grow
and
blossom.
The
planting
of
the
tree
is
a
good
metaphor(隐喻)
for
marriage.___21___
A.
Every
culture
has
its
own
ways
of
bringing
good
luck
to
the
happy
couple.
B.
A
truly
good
marriage
is
something
that
grows
with
care.
C.
In
the
United
States,
parents
do
not
arrange
marriages
for
their
children.
D.
And
something
blue
reminds
her
to
be
true
to
her
husband.
E.
Marriage
customs
around
the
world
often
differ
from
our
own.
F.
In
many
countries,
marriage
is
a
practical
matter.
G.
Different
countries
have
different
cultures.

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。
Fifteen
years
ago,
I
was
born
in
a
big
family.
I
had
been
taught
that
money
couldn’t
buy
everything
ever
since
I
was
a
little
kid.
My
parents
are
the
most
hard-working
people
I
have
ever
seen.
As
much
as
my
parents
tried
to
teach
me
these
values,
some
could
only
be
learned
through
personal
experiences.
As
a
child,
I
would
sit
in
the
church
trying
to
concentrate
on
the
words
of
the
priest
(牧师),
but
my
attention
was
soon
attracted
by
the
shining
gold
and
the
diamonds
worn
by
the
Saturday
churchgoers.
As
my
eyes
began
to
wander,
I
noticed
men
dressed
in
their
tailored
suits
and
shirts
accompanied
by
women
in
their
designer
dresses
with
matching
handbags
and
shoes.
My
family,
on
the
other
hand,
was
the
opposite
of
rich.
Our
hand-me-down
clothes
had
been
washed
so
many
times
that
the
colors
had
become
dull
and
lifeless.
Although
this
revealed
the
money
struggles
of
our
large
family,
our
faces
were
always
washed
and
hair
neatly
combed.
When
sitting
on
the
old
big
red
and
white
truck
after
the
service,
I
pictured
the
lives
led
by
those
driving
their
brand-new
cars,
wishing
I
would
be
one
of
them.
I
never
stopped
those
fantasies,
even
when
I
was
in
middle
school.
Since
it
was
a
private
school,
most
of
the
children
came
from
wealthy
families.
As
a
result,
I
constantly
felt
ashamed.
Although
I
could
hide
my
lack
of
wealth
at
school
by
wearing
our
school
uniforms,
my
poverty
was
embarrassingly
apparent
on
weekends
with
my
classmates
wearing
designer
jeans
and
I
had
no
choice
but
to
wear
my
sister’s
old
jeans.
I
never
fitted
in
with
my
classmates.
To
my
relief,
there
was
only
one
girl
named
Julie
who
opened
her
heart
to
me.
I
was
attached
to
her
like
a
shadow.
Soon,
her
birthday
was
approaching.
Julie
invited
me
to
attend
her
birthday
party.
注意：1.续写词数应为120左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However,
I
grew
upset
as
I
couldn’t
afford
a
gift.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When
she
opened
the
gift
box,
my
heart
missed
a
beat.
