Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
Eric Carle， the author behind The Very Hungry Caterpillar and dozens of other children’s books， has passed away at the age of 91. Mr Carle’s lively， creative and colourful works were loved by children around the world.
　　Mr Carle was the author or illustrator of over 70 books for children， including The Grouchy Ladybug， The Mixed-Up Chameleon and Papa， Please Get the Moon for Me.The Very Hungry Caterpillar was Mr Carle’s best-known book.It was published in 1969.Since then， over 55 million copies of the book have been sold， and it has been translated into more than 70 different languages.
　　Mr Carle was born in Syracuse， New York in 1929.His parents were German.As he was growing up， Mr Carle spent a lot of time with his father， who would take him out walking in nature.His father would show him small creatures， explaining their life cycles and filling the young boy’s head with wonder.
　　Mr Carle thinks this helps explain why so many of his books are about nature.Many are about bugs like crickets， fireflies， ladybugs and butterflies.Others are about animals， like foxes， squirrels， kangaroos and bears.
　　In 1952， Mr Carle got a job as a graphic designer at The New York Times.Author Bill Martin， Jr asked Mr Carle to illustrate a story he had written.Brown Bear， Brown Bear， What Do You See？was the result of their cooperation， which is Mr Carle’s first try.The book came out in 1967 and was a big hit.After that， he created many children’s books that were very popular with children.
　　Most of Mr Carle’s books are meant for younger readers.He said that he wanted to help make school a fun and welcoming place.“I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn，” he said.“I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun.”
　　Mr Carle will be missed， and his creative art and sweet， funny stories will continue to bring joy to very eager readers all around the world.

C.In 1967. D.In 1969.
2.Why are most of Mr Carle’s books about nature according to him？（　　）
A.His parents grew up in the countryside.
B.His father led him close to nature.

D.The topic on nature is child-friendly.

A.The Mixed-Up Chameleon.
B.The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
C.Papa， Please Get the Moon for Me.
D.Brown Bear， Brown Bear， What Do You See？
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？（　　）
A.To remember a great writer.
B.To introduce children’s books.
C.To encourage kids to read more.
D.To draw more concern for kids.
B
　　When I talk to kids about writing， I often compare it to the roller coaster to remind them to mix laughs with thrills in writing， because nobody wants to ride a roller coaster that is long， never-ending and terrifying.Even Shakespeare， in his darkest tragedies， opens each act with a funny scene before the swords and daggers or poison come out.We need comic relief in literature， a break in the tension.
　　I have always tried to write stories for kids that mix the heart-racing thrill of a mystery with a few jokes.Maybe this is because， when I was in the fifth and sixth grades， the fun comic magazine was my favourite reading material.Then in high school， I was the class clown.When I first moved to New York City， I performed with one of the city’s top comedy edy， I have discovered， is a great teaching tool.It is also a wonderful defense against fear.
　　One of my favourite e-mails I’ve ever received was sent to me in 2009 by a young reader who loved my stories.Here’s what he wrote：
Dear Mr Grabenstein，
　　I just want to let you know that I really， absolutely love your books.I’m in 6th grade and recently have finished The Hanging Hill after reading The Crossroads.Your stories mix action， humour and horror together in a perfect combination.
　　Thanks so much！
　　 Will R.
　　Comedy is a writer’s tool for releasing tension and it also simply makes books more fun to read.I used humour in my novel The Island of Dr. Libris to make classic literature feel more accessible to young readers.I also think it’s why so many reluctant readers — including kids who haven’t read a book in years — have been crazy about Escape from Mr Lemoncello’s Library and Mr Lemoncello’s Library Olympics.Learning the Dewey Decimal System in the class can be fun if it is presented in a funny way.Because when we’re laughing， we never think we’re working too hard.
5.Why does the author mention the e-mail from a student in Paragraph 3？（　　）
A.To prove a theory.
B.To explain a concept.
C.To support his opinion.
D.To introduce the topic.
6.Which of the following best describes Dewey Decimal System in the last paragraph？（　　）
A.Efficient.　 　　　　 B.Boring.
C.Simple. D.Effective.
7.Where is the text probably from？（　　）
A.A literature textbook.
B.An autobiography.
C.A writing guidebook.
D.A writing outline.
8.Which can be a suitable title for the text？（　　）
A.Fun， an Element in Writing
B.Magazine， a Guide to Writing
C.Imagination， the Soul of Writing
D.The Clown Suit， a Decoration for Writing

Ⅲ.讀后續寫
　　閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
　　Grocery shopping was the task I hated most.I could always find plenty to complain about on any shopping trip.What did I forget to put on the list？Why did they have to keep moving things around？ Whoever thought that self-checkouts were a good idea？And how come these plastic bags last 500 years in a wasteyard， but won’t make it to my car without breaking？
　　On the worst grocery-shopping day of the whole year， the day before Thanksgiving， I stood with a full cart （購物車） waiting to check out.I counted eleven carts ahead of mine as I stood in a line.Every line was filled with shoppers in a big hurry.And I was no exception.My in-laws were coming for Thanksgiving and everything had to be perfect.Every moment I was stuck in the store put my schedule at risk.There were pies to make， dressing to prepare， and my salad， which had to be made the night before.
　　As I stood there feeling sorry for myself， the ladies in front of me began talking.
　　“I feel almost sorry standing here，” one said.I don’t know who she was talking about， but she went on to say， “You wouldn’t believe how poor they are.They work all week， and the food they can buy with their income fits in their two hands.”
　　The ladies moved on to other topics but I started thinking.I’d never spent a week’s income on groceries.I only used a part of our weekly income even when I planned a holiday like Thanksgiving.I bought treats often and threw money at expensive things whenever I wanted.Also， I couldn’t possibly carry all of the groceries I bought every week.And then there were even workers to bag our groceries and help put them in our cars if we bought more than we could manage alone.
　　How had I never noticed all this before？The shelves were full of food from around the world.Anything we wanted was trucked in or even flown in for us.The store was comfortable， safe and well-lit， and there was a bank and a flower shop in the store， too， just to make life even more convenient.Everywhere I looked — amazing.

The Old Man and the Sea
（Excerpt）
　　[1]Ernest Hemingway （1899－1961）， an American writer of novels and short stories， is well thought of① for his unique writing style.[2]He is extremely② good at describing the adventures of tough men who he believes “can be destroyed③ but not defeated④”.The Old Man and the Sea， one of his most important novels， tells the story of a fisherman named Santiago.After coming in empty-handed for eighty-four days， Santiago attempts⑤ to catch a huge fish.
　　[1]句中an American writer of novels and short stories是Ernest Hemingway的同位語。
　　[2]句中who引導定語從句，修飾先行詞tough men，who在定語從句中作主語；he believes是插入語。
　　The fish was coming in on his circle now calm and beautiful looking and only his great tail moving.[3]The old man pulled on him all that he could to bring him closer.For just a moment the fish turned a little on his side.Then he straightened⑥ himself and began another circle.
　　“I moved him，” the old man said.“I moved him then.”
He felt faint again now but he held on the great fish all the strain⑦ that he could.I moved him， he thought.Maybe this time I can get him over.Pull， hands， he thought.Hold up⑧， legs.Last for me， head.Last for me.You never went.This time I’ll pull him over.
[4]But when he put all of his effort on， starting it well out before the fish came alongside⑨ and pulling with all his strength， the fish pulled part way⑩ over and then righted himself and swam away.
　　[3]此處all是with all his strength的省略形式；that he could是定語從句，修飾先行詞all；could之后省略了gather；動詞不定式短語to bring him closer作目的狀語。
　　[4]when引導時間狀語從句，兩個動詞-ing短語starting ...and pulling ...作伴隨狀語；before引導時間狀語從句。
　　“Fish，” the old man said.“Fish， you are going to have to die anyway .Do you have to kill me too？”
That way nothing is accomplished ， he thought.His mouth was too dry to speak but he could not reach for the water now.I must get him alongside this time， he thought.I am not good for many more turns.Yes you are， he told himself.You’re good for ever.
On the next turn， he nearly had him.But again the fish righted himself and swam slowly away .
You are killing me， fish， the old man thought.But you have a right to.[5]Never have I seen a greater， or more beautiful， or a calmer or more noble thing than you， e on and kill me.I do not care who kills who.
　　Now you are getting confused in the head， he thought.You must keep your head clear .Keep your head clear and know how to suffer like a man.Or a fish， he thought.
“Clear up ， head，” he said in a voice he could hardly hear.“Clear up.”
Twice more it was the same on the turns.
I do not know， the old man thought.He had been on the point of feeling himself go each time.I do not know.But I will try it once more .
[6]He tried it once more and he felt himself going when he turned the fish.[7]The fish righted himself and swam off again slowly with the great tail weaving in the air.
　　[5]否定副詞Never置于句首，句子使用部分倒裝；“否定詞never＋比較級”結構，表示最高級含義。
　　[6]and連接并列句。第二個分句中felt himself going為“feel＋賓語＋賓語補足語”結構；when引導時間狀語從句。
　　[7]with the great tail weaving in the air為“with＋賓語＋賓語補足語”結構，tail與weave之間是邏輯上的主謂關系。
　　I’ll try it again， the old man promised， although his hands were mushy now and he could only see well in flashes .
　　He tried it again and it was the same.So he thought， and he felt himself going before he started； I will try it once again.

老人與海（節選）
　　歐內斯特·海明威（1899－1961），美國小說家、短篇小說作家，因其獨特的寫作風格而廣受好評，他非常擅長描寫硬漢們的冒險經歷，他認為那些硬漢“可以被毀滅但不能被擊敗”。《老人與海》是他最重要的小說之一，講述了一個名叫圣地亞哥的漁夫的故事。在兩手空空84天后，圣地亞哥試圖捕一條大魚。
　　這條魚正打著轉靠近，既冷靜又美麗，只有它的大尾巴在動，老人用盡全力拉住它，想把它拉近些，有那么一小會兒，魚稍稍偏向一邊。接著它正了正身子，又開始轉圈。
　　“我拉動它了，”老人說，“我剛才拉動它了。”
　　現在他又感到頭暈了，但他竭盡全力拽住這條大魚。我拉動它了，他想，也許這次我能搞定它。手，快點拉，他想。腿，挺住。腦袋，拜托堅持住。你從來沒有誤過事。這次我要把它拉過來。
　　但是，大魚還不曾游到船邊，他便使盡平生力氣，拼命拉扯，大魚被拉歪了一點，然后正正身子，游開了。
　　“魚啊，”老人說，“魚啊，反正你都得死。你非要把我也殺了嗎？”
這樣下去要一無所獲了，他想。他的嘴干得說不出話來，但他現在不能伸手去拿水喝，我這次一定要把它拉到船邊，他想。它再多轉幾圈，我就不行了。不，你行，他告訴自己。你永遠都行。
在接下來的一圈，他差點就把它拉過來了。但是這魚又正了正身子，慢慢游走了。
　　你快弄死我了，魚啊，老人想。不過你有權這么做。我從沒見過比你更巨大、更美麗、更冷靜或者更高貴的東西，老兄。來，殺了我吧。我不在乎誰弄死誰。
　　你現在腦子開始犯糊涂了，他想。你必須保持頭腦清醒，保持頭腦清醒，要像條漢子，懂得怎么受苦。或者像條魚，他想。
　　“清醒起來，腦袋，”他用自己都幾乎聽不見的聲音說，“清醒起來。”
那魚跟之前一樣，又轉了兩圈。
我不明白，老人想。每次他都感覺自己快要垮了。我不明白。但我還要再試一次。
他又試了一次，當他把魚拉轉過來時，他感覺自己快不行了。魚正正身子，又慢慢地游開，大尾巴在海面上繞來繞去。
我要再試一下，老人答應自己，盡管他的雙手這時已經軟弱無力，而且大部分時間雙眼都看不清。
他又試了一次，依然如故。還沒動手他就感覺要不行了，他這樣想，我還要再試一次。

The Old Man and the Sea
（Excerpt）
　　[1]Ernest Hemingway （1899－1961）， an American writer of
novels and short stories， is well thought of① for his unique writing
style.[2]He is extremely② good at describing the adventures of tough
men who he believes “can be destroyed③ but not defeated④”.The Old
Man and the Sea， one of his most important novels， tells the story of a
fisherman named Santiago.After coming in empty-handed for eighty-four
days， Santiago attempts⑤ to catch a huge fish.
　　[1]句中an American writer of novels and short stories是Ernest
Hemingway的同位語。
　　[2]句中who引導定語從句，修飾先行詞tough men，who在定語
從句中作主語；he believes是插入語。
【讀文清障】
①be well thought of 受到好評的；令人敬佩的
think well highly of sb/sth對某人/某事評價很高
②extremely adv.極其，非常，極端
extreme adj.極度的，異乎尋常的
n.極端；極度；極限
go to the extremes 走極端
③destroy vt.摧毀，毀滅，破壞
④defeat vt.擊敗，戰勝 n.失敗，戰敗；擊敗
⑤attempt vt.& n.努力，嘗試，試圖
attempt to do sth 嘗試做某事，努力做某事
　　The fish was coming in on his circle now calm and beautiful looking
and only his great tail moving.[3]The old man pulled on him all that he
could to bring him closer.For just a moment the fish turned a little on his
side.Then he straightened⑥ himself and began another circle.
　　“I moved him，” the old man said.“I moved him then.”
　　He felt faint again now but he held on the great fish all the strain⑦
that he could.I moved him， he thought.Maybe this time I can get him
over.Pull， hands， he thought.Hold up⑧， legs.Last for me，
head.Last for me.You never went.This time I’ll pull him over.
[4]But when he put all of his effort on， starting it well out before
the fish came alongside⑨ and pulling with all his strength， the fish pulled
part way⑩ over and then righted himself and swam away.
　　[3]此處all是with all his strength的省略形式；that he could是定語
從句，修飾先行詞all；could之后省略了gather；動詞不定式短語to
bring him closer作目的狀語。
　　[4]when引導時間狀語從句，兩個動詞-ing短語starting ...and
pulling ...作伴隨狀語；before引導時間狀語從句。
⑥straighten vt.挺直；（使）變直，變正
straighten oneself 挺直身子
⑦strain n.用勁，使力；壓力，拉力；重負

⑧hold up 支撐；舉起；耽擱
hold on 抓住，抓緊
⑨alongside adv.在……旁邊；與……一起
⑩part way 半途，部分地
pull part way over 側過一半身子
　　“Fish，” the old man said.“Fish， you are going to have to die
anyway .Do you have to kill me too？”
That way nothing is accomplished ， he thought.His mouth was
too dry to speak but he could not reach for the water now.I must get him
alongside this time， he thought.I am not good for many more turns.Yes
you are， he told himself.You’re good for ever.
On the next turn， he nearly had him.But again the fish righted
himself and swam slowly away .
You are killing me， fish， the old man thought.But you have a right
to.[5]Never have I seen a greater， or more beautiful， or a calmer or
more noble thing than you， e on and kill me.I do not
care who kills who.
　　Now you are getting confused in the head， he thought.You must
keep your head clear .Keep your head clear and know how to suffer like
a man.Or a fish， he thought.
“Clear up ， head，” he said in a voice he could hardly
hear.“Clear up.”
Twice more it was the same on the turns.
I do not know， the old man thought.He had been on the point of
feeling himself go each time.I do not know.But I will try it once more .
[6]He tried it once more and he felt himself going when he turned the
fish.[7]The fish righted himself and swam off again slowly with the great
tail weaving in the air.
　　[5]否定副詞Never置于句首，句子使用部分倒裝；“否定詞
never＋比較級”結構，表示最高級含義。
　　[6]and連接并列句。第二個分句中felt himself going為“feel＋賓
語＋賓語補足語”結構；when引導時間狀語從句。
　　[7]with the great tail weaving in the air為“with＋賓語＋賓語補足
語”結構，tail與weave之間是邏輯上的主謂關系。

right [熟詞生義]vt.使回到正常位置，把……扶正
right oneself 豎直身子

【參考譯文】
老人與海（節選）
　　歐內斯特·海明威（1899－1961），美國小說家、短篇小說作家，
因其獨特的寫作風格而廣受好評，他非常擅長描寫硬漢們的冒險經
歷，他認為那些硬漢“可以被毀滅但不能被擊敗”。《老人與海》是
他最重要的小說之一，講述了一個名叫圣地亞哥的漁夫的故事。在兩
手空空84天后，圣地亞哥試圖捕一條大魚。
　　這條魚正打著轉靠近，既冷靜又美麗，只有它的大尾巴在動，老
人用盡全力拉住它，想把它拉近些，有那么一小會兒，魚稍稍偏向一
邊。接著它正了正身子，又開始轉圈。
　　“我拉動它了，”老人說，“我剛才拉動它了。”
　　現在他又感到頭暈了，但他竭盡全力拽住這條大魚。我拉動它
了，他想，也許這次我能搞定它。手，快點拉，他想。腿，挺住。腦
袋，拜托堅持住。你從來沒有誤過事。這次我要把它拉過來。
　　但是，大魚還不曾游到船邊，他便使盡平生力氣，拼命拉扯，大
魚被拉歪了一點，然后正正身子，游開了。
“魚啊，”老人說，“魚啊，反正你都得死。你非要把我也殺了
嗎？”
這樣下去要一無所獲了，他想。他的嘴干得說不出話來，但他現
在不能伸手去拿水喝，我這次一定要把它拉到船邊，他想。它再多轉
幾圈，我就不行了。不，你行，他告訴自己。你永遠都行。
在接下來的一圈，他差點就把它拉過來了。但是這魚又正了正身
子，慢慢游走了。
你快弄死我了，魚啊，老人想。不過你有權這么做。我從沒見過
比你更巨大、更美麗、更冷靜或者更高貴的東西，老兄。來，殺了我
吧。我不在乎誰弄死誰。
你現在腦子開始犯糊涂了，他想。你必須保持頭腦清醒，保持頭
腦清醒，要像條漢子，懂得怎么受苦。或者像條魚，他想。
“清醒起來，腦袋，”他用自己都幾乎聽不見的聲音說，“清醒
起來。”
那魚跟之前一樣，又轉了兩圈。
我不明白，老人想。每次他都感覺自己快要垮了。我不明白。但
我還要再試一次。
他又試了一次，當他把魚拉轉過來時，他感覺自己快不行了。魚
正正身子，又慢慢地游開，大尾巴在海面上繞來繞去。
我要再試一下，老人答應自己，盡管他的雙手這時已經軟弱無
力，而且大部分時間雙眼都看不清。
他又試了一次，依然如故。還沒動手他就感覺要不行了，他這樣
想，我還要再試一次。

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
Eric Carle， the author behind The Very Hungry Caterpillar and
dozens of other children’s books， has passed away at the age of 91. Mr
Carle’s lively， creative and colourful works were loved by children
around the world.
　　Mr Carle was the author or illustrator of over 70 books for children，
including The Grouchy Ladybug， The Mixed-Up Chameleon and Papa，
Please Get the Moon for Me.The Very Hungry Caterpillar was Mr
Carle’s best-known book.It was published in 1969.Since then， over 55
million copies of the book have been sold， and it has been translated into
more than 70 different languages.
　　Mr Carle was born in Syracuse， New York in 1929.His parents were
German.As he was growing up， Mr Carle spent a lot of time with his
father， who would take him out walking in nature.His father would show
him small creatures， explaining their life cycles and filling the young
boy’s head with wonder.
　　Mr Carle thinks this helps explain why so many of his books are about
nature.Many are about bugs like crickets， fireflies， ladybugs and
butterflies.Others are about animals， like foxes， squirrels， kangaroos
and bears.
　　In 1952， Mr Carle got a job as a graphic designer at The New York
Times.Author Bill Martin， Jr asked Mr Carle to illustrate a story he had
written.Brown Bear， Brown Bear， What Do You See？was the result of
their cooperation， which is Mr Carle’s first try.The book came out in
1967 and was a big hit.After that， he created many children’s books
that were very popular with children.
　　Most of Mr Carle’s books are meant for younger readers.He said
that he wanted to help make school a fun and welcoming place.“I believe
that children are naturally creative and eager to learn，” he said.“I want
to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun.”
　　Mr Carle will be missed， and his creative art and sweet， funny
stories will continue to bring joy to very eager readers all around the
world.

歷。再結合最后一段內容可知，作者寫本文的目的是紀念這位多產

B
　　When I talk to kids about writing， I often compare it to the roller
coaster to remind them to mix laughs with thrills in writing， because
nobody wants to ride a roller coaster that is long， never-ending and
terrifying.Even Shakespeare， in his darkest tragedies， opens each act
with a funny scene before the swords and daggers or poison come out.We
need comic relief in literature， a break in the tension.
　　I have always tried to write stories for kids that mix the heart-racing
thrill of a mystery with a few jokes.Maybe this is because， when I was in
the fifth and sixth grades， the fun comic magazine was my favourite
reading material.Then in high school， I was the class clown.When I first
moved to New York City， I performed with one of the city’s top
comedy edy， I have discovered， is a great teaching tool.It
is also a wonderful defense against fear.
　　One of my favourite e-mails I’ve ever received was sent to me in
2009 by a young reader who loved my stories.Here’s what he wrote：
Dear Mr Grabenstein，
　　I just want to let you know that I really， absolutely love your
books.I’m in 6th grade and recently have finished The Hanging Hill after
reading The Crossroads.Your stories mix action， humour and horror
together in a perfect combination.
　　Thanks so much！
　　 Will R.
　　Comedy is a writer’s tool for releasing tension and it also simply
makes books more fun to read.I used humour in my novel The Island of
Dr. Libris to make classic literature feel more accessible to young
readers.I also think it’s why so many reluctant readers — including kids
who haven’t read a book in years — have been crazy about Escape from
Mr Lemoncello’s Library and Mr Lemoncello’s Library
Olympics.Learning the Dewey Decimal System in the class can be fun if it
is presented in a funny way.Because when we’re laughing， we never
think we’re working too hard.

式深受讀者喜愛。

Ⅲ.讀后續寫
　　閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構
成一篇完整的短文。
　　Grocery shopping was the task I hated most.I could always find
plenty to complain about on any shopping trip.What did I forget to put on
the list？Why did they have to keep moving things around？ Whoever
thought that self-checkouts were a good idea？And how come these plastic
bags last 500 years in a wasteyard， but won’t make it to my car without
breaking？
　　On the worst grocery-shopping day of the whole year， the day
before Thanksgiving， I stood with a full cart （購物車） waiting to
check out.I counted eleven carts ahead of mine as I stood in a line.Every
line was filled with shoppers in a big hurry.And I was no exception.My
in-laws were coming for Thanksgiving and everything had to be
perfect.Every moment I was stuck in the store put my schedule at
risk.There were pies to make， dressing to prepare， and my salad，
which had to be made the night before.
　　As I stood there feeling sorry for myself， the ladies in front of me
began talking.
　　“I feel almost sorry standing here，” one said.I don’t know who
she was talking about， but she went on to say， “You wouldn’t
believe how poor they are.They work all week， and the food they can
buy with their income fits in their two hands.”
　　The ladies moved on to other topics but I started thinking.I’d never
spent a week’s income on groceries.I only used a part of our weekly
income even when I planned a holiday like Thanksgiving.I bought treats
often and threw money at expensive things whenever I wanted.Also， I
couldn’t possibly carry all of the groceries I bought every week.And then
there were even workers to bag our groceries and help put them in our cars
if we bought more than we could manage alone.
　　How had I never noticed all this before？The shelves were full of
food from around the world.Anything we wanted was trucked in or even
flown in for us.The store was comfortable， safe and well-lit， and there
was a bank and a flower shop in the store， too， just to make life even
more convenient.Everywhere I looked — amazing.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
　　By the time I got to the cash desk， I was filled with
excitement. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　I rode to my comfortable， warm house and cooked a fine dinner
that night. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
參考范文：
　　By the time I got to the cash desk， I was filled with excitement.How
wonderful my life was！The cashier looked tired， so I told her she was
doing a great job and she relaxed a little.I thanked her and the bagger，
telling them what a pleasure it was to have their help.I wished them a
happy Thanksgiving.People stared at me， and then I heard others doing
the same thing.On my way out， I told the manager how much I
appreciate his store.He smiled and stood straighter， thanking me for
saying that.
　　I rode to my comfortable， warm house and cooked a fine dinner that
night.Praise was showered upon me by my family the next day， and I
said that it was my pleasure.Going to the grocery store is no longer an
unpleasant task.Ever since that day， I have seen it as a gift that many
people in the world don’t have.Whenever I enter a store， I’m
reminded of all I have to be thankful for in my life.With a heart full of
gratitude， I’m beginning to offer help to others.Gratitude — it’s
spreading.
謝謝觀看！
