One evening, my son and I were talking about gifts.I recalled my first Valentine’s present from my husband, a kazoo.I was awkward when I received it because I couldn’t get it to make a sound although I am a professional saxophone player.However hard I tried, it just never worked.The kazoo eventually got packed away and forgotten.But my son was interested and insisted on seeing it.After some trouble, I found it. “You couldn’t get a sound? What’s so hard about it?” my husband asked, amazed.He took the kazoo and blew.Nothing happened.Surprised, he tried again.Still there was no sound.Frustrated, he tried again, only to produce a funny sound like an angry bumblebee trapped in the mouth of a bear.We burst into laughter.My son took a turn to play the kazoo.He did no better than us, causing more laughing. Seeing his face light up, we felt as if the darkness had lifted and a ray of sunshine was let in.It was the best ten minutes of the past couple of years.The mood stayed light for the rest of the evening.It didn’t solve anything.But this experience with the kazoo brought some change in our hearts that always reminds us that there are still things to laugh at and enjoy, and that we can still connect as a family.1.What affected the relationship of the couple?A.Quarrels between the couple over marriage.B.Different values they shared towards everything.C.Stress and chaos arising from their son’s serious illness.D.Lack of money needed for their son’s medical treatment.2.Why did the husband blow the kazoo personally?A.He had a love for playing the kazoo.

It smells terrible,” said Gus, pinching (捏) his nose shut.“It’s sancocho de gallina,” Nilsa replied.“That doesn’t look like any food I’ve ever seen,” said Codi.He pointed to his own lunch, “Why don’t you eat something normal, like pizza?”“Codi’s right,” added Candice.“That’s one weird (古怪的) lunch.”Nilsa felt sad as the other kids laughed and made fun of her lunch.Suddenly she didn’t feel hungry anymore.When she got home, she said to her mother angrily, “Mom, why did you make me bring this ‘weird’ food to school?”“What? Weird food?” her mother replied, surprised.“You love sancocho!”“I do! But all the kids said it was weird and smelly, different from their normal lunches.”“It isn’t weird,” said her mother.“It’s a traditional Panamanian dish that we all enjoy.”“Maybe.But everyone made fun of me,” said Nilsa, still feeling sad.“Maybe you can help your classmates understand it better,” her mother said.“Next time you bring it to school, you explain a bit.You could tell them sancocho tastes great, and that our family has been eating it for hundreds of years.”Nilsa thought about this for a moment and then asked, “Can you teach me how to make it?”“Of course!Let’s cook it tonight.You can bring it to school tomorrow.”The next day Nilsa brought sancocho to school again, but this time she also brought a message.She explained to her classmates that sancocho was a delicious and traditional dish in her family and her culture.Her great-grandmother taught her grandmother, who then taught her mother, and now she was proud to share it with her friends.注意:1.續寫詞數應為150左右;2.請按如下格式作答。 At first, her classmates didn’t want to taste it.

It smells terrible,” said Gus, pinching(捏) his nose shut.“It’s sancocho de gallina,” Nilsa replied.“That doesn’t look like any food I’ve ever seen,” saidCodi.He pointed to his own lunch, “Why don’t you eat somethingnormal, like pizza?”“Codi’s right,” added Candice.“That’s one weird (古怪的) lunch.”Nilsa felt sad as the other kids laughed and made fun of herlunch.Suddenly she didn’t feel hungry anymore.When she got home, she said to her mother angrily, “Mom,why did you make me bring this ‘weird’ food to school?”“What? Weird food?” her mother replied, surprised.“Youlove sancocho!”“I do! But all the kids said it was weird and smelly, differentfrom their normal lunches.”“It isn’t weird,” said her mother.“It’s a traditionalPanamanian dish that we all enjoy.”“Maybe.But everyone made fun of me,” said Nilsa, still feelingsad.“Maybe you can help your classmates understand it better,” hermother said.“Next time you bring it to school, you explain a bit.Youcould tell them sancocho tastes great, and that our family has been eatingit for hundreds of years.”Nilsa thought about this for a moment and then asked, “Can youteach me how to make it?”“Of course!Let’s cook it tonight.You can bring it to schooltomorrow.”The next day Nilsa brought sancocho to school again, but this timeshe also brought a message.She explained to her classmates that sancochowas a delicious and traditional dish in her family and her culture.Hergreat-grandmother taught her grandmother, who then taught hermother, and now she was proud to share it with her friends.注意:1.續寫詞數應為150左右;2. 請按如下格式作答。 At first, her classmates didn’t want to taste it.
