　?。?024·廣東汕頭河溪中學高二下月考）Selecting gifts for your beloved ones can be one of the most difficult parts.But don’t worry！ We can help！ Here are some gift ideas to suit all pockets.
Air purifier
　　Do you have a loved one who suffers from allergies （過敏） or other skin diseases？ Why not gift him or her an air cleaner？ Research has shown that air purifiers can help reduce allergy reactions， remove asthma （哮喘） causes such as dust by improving air quality in your home.Look for purifiers with more than one filter and， especially， a high efficiency air filter.
Electric toothbrush
　　One review of 56 studies has found that a powered toothbrush resulted in a 21 per cent reduction of plaque and an 11 per cent reduction in gingivitis （牙齦炎） after three months， compared with a manual toothbrush.It’s also a fun way for children to look after their dental hygiene.
Dark chocolate
　　Nothing screams a gift quite like chocolate.Good news is that dark chocolate is associated with several health benefits.Small amounts of this sweet treat may lower the risk of heart disease， improve brain function and give your immune system a boost， potentially reducing infection.
Your time
　　Quality time spent with your nearest and dearest is completely free， but is the most precious gift you could give them.If you’ve been too preoccupied of late， determine to put aside more hours to do fun things together， or if you have time to devote to others outside your immediate circle， consider volunteering with Age UK as a friend to an elderly person.
21.Which of the following is suitable for someone with a dental problem？（　?。?br/>A.Air purifier. B.Electric toothbrush.
C.Dark chocolate. D.Your time.
22.What do the first three presents have in common？（　?。?br/>A.They belong to tech presents. B.They are non-physical objects.

　?。?024·四川成都石室中學高二下月考）The student arrived early， sat front and center， and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one.I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class.He eagerly jumped into class discussions， with his humor and wisdom of experience.And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives， as if each of them were a teacher.Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile — and he left with one， too.
　　“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age，” Valencia says.
　　One day， I spotted Valencia on campus.He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year.By then， he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order.He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.
　　“Sure，” I said.But he wouldn’t get any credit.
　　“No problem，” he said.
　　Soon there he was again， back at his old desk， jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles — a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.
　　A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework.“Here he is willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning，”says Jessica Espinosa， a 25-year-old junior.Afterward， I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree， but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college， so he had a long way to go.
　　There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s.At his current pace， he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall.But that doesn’t seem especially relevant.He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating.Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts （成績單）.But I’m giving him an A — and in the most important ways， it counts.
24.What made Valencia different from his classmates？（　　）
A.He was respectful to the teacher. B.He activated the class atmosphere.
C.He was eager to learn despite his age. D.He often put forward different opinions.
25.According to the author， why did Valencia continue to attend classes？（　?。?br/>A.He treasured the chance of learning. B.He wished to show his determination.
C.He needed the credits to further his study. D.He desired to have an A on his transcripts.
26.Which of the following can best describe Valencia？（　?。?br/>A.Modest and independent. B.Energetic and generous.
C.Enthusiastic and motivated. D.Considerate and intelligent.
27.What can we learn from the passage？（　?。?br/>A.No pains， no gains. B.It is never too old to learn.
C.Strike the iron while it is hot. D.Where there is life， there is hope.
C
　　Chatting in her bright two-bedroom flat， Shirley Meredeen， aged 91， doesn’t hesitate to describe the benefits of living here.“It keeps my brain going.We are all very active because there is so much to do ...We’re really lucky to have such a supportive community.”
　　In 1998， Meredeen first heard of the concept of cohousing as developed in the Netherlands and decided to copy its model in the UK and create the Older Women Cohousing （OWCH） with her friends.But they didn’t imagine that it would be an 18-year struggle.The novelty of the idea coupled with the lack of data to prove the social and economic benefits made it difficult for them to access public money.Councils always compared their idea to sheltered accommodation and saw it as a burden for their already overstretched budgets.
　　In fact， the community-led housing is a departure from the conventional understanding of later life.Now， the community comprises 25 flats as well as a shared kitchen， meeting room， laundry， garden， car park and a guest room.People live together based on interdependence.They can take control of their future instead of relying on their families or care homes.All the neighbours look out for each other， not after each other， which means accompanying to medical appointments， doing the local shopping， having family contacts in preparation for an emergency ...But the limits of such informal care among residents still need to be worked out.
　　OWCH has paved the way to alternative living arrangements in later life and the support for community-led housing is starting to emerge in the form of guidance and funding， according to UK Cohousing Network.
28.What do we know about Meredeen？（　?。?br/>A.She first tried cohousing in the Netherlands.B.She is a regular visitor to OWCH.
C.She is a pioneer in elderly care service. D.She founded OWCH single-handed.
29.Why did it take such a long time to set up OWCH？（　?。?br/>A.It didn’t benefit social economy. B.It didn’t keep up with the time.
C.It called for careful budgeting. D.It was hard to get public funding.
30.Which is probably the reason why seniors choose OWCH？（　　）
A.They are more independent. B.They are responsible for each other.
C.They receive more care services. D.They can rely on their relatives.
31.What is the purpose of the text？（　?。?br/>A.To describe an ambitious figure. B.To introduce a new lifestyle of seniors.
C.To ensure elderly people’s welfare. D.To inspire the aged to achieve their dreams.
D
　?。?024·河南安陽林州高二下月考）If you’ve ever spent time on a beach in the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean， there is a solid chance you came across a slimy mass of rotten， smelly seaweed.
　　The specific ocean plant during those encounters is likely sargassum （馬尾藻） — while helpful for absorbing CO2， sargassum is also unbelievably harmful.It can seriously damage both shoreline and ocean ecosystems， killing red woods， seagrass and countless ocean animals.Cleanup efforts can cost tens of thousands of dollars while disturbing both tourist and fishing industries， but the AlgaRay project is showing great promise in relieving sargassum stress.In fact， its success has even earned it a place on Time’s Best Inventions of 2023.
　　Off the coasts of Antigua， a roughly 9-foot-wide AlgaRay robot picks up piles of sargassum until its storage container is full， at which point the autonomous robot dives 200 meters below the surface.At this depth， the air pockets that make sargassum leaves so buoyant （有浮力的） are so pressed by the water that it simply can’t float anymore.Once let go by AlgaRay， sargassum then sinks to the ocean floor.The robot can repeat this process between four and six times every hour.And thanks to a combination of solar panels， lithium batteries （鋰電池）， and navigational tools， AlgaRay will eventually be able to work almost nonstop.
　　Of course， ocean ecosystems are complex and delicate at any depth.AlgaRay’s designers are well aware of this， and make sure they won’t increase ocean floor CO2 recklessly.A cautious pathway and detailed monitoring have been built into their approach.Additionally， they note sargassum blooms — worsened by human activities — are already causing major issues across the world.
　　As the name might imply， AlgaRay is inspired by manta rays （魔鬼魚）， which are nearly 30 feet wide and feed on algae.In time， future generations of the robot could even match manta rays’ huge sizes.
32.What contributed to the birth of the AlgaRay project？（　?。?br/>A.The government’s support. B.The progress of technology.
C.The increase in tourism. D.The success of fishing industry.
33.How does the AlgaRay robot clean up sargassum？（　?。?br/>A.By killing all the sargassum off coasts. B.By locking sargassum in its container.
C.By delivering sargassum into deep sea. D.By forcing sargassum to float on the surface.
34.What does the underlined word “recklessly” in Paragraph 4 mean？（　?。?br/>A.Temporarily. B.Flexibly.
C.Irresponsibly. D.Impatiently.
35.What can we infer about the future of AlgaRay from the text？（　　）
A.It will be far bigger. B.It will be much cheaper.
C.It will dive deeper still. D.It will work even longer.

　　（2024·浙江三鋒聯盟高二下期中）Peter walked home from school.Salty tears ran down his cheeks， and his stomach hurt.He didn’t know what to do.Nokomis was waiting for him on the front porch.
　　“What’s wrong， Biyen？” said Peter’s grandmother.Biyen was the Ojibwe （齊佩瓦人） name for Peter.He called her Nokomis， which meant grandmother.
　　Peter looked up，“I have to give a presentation where I talk about a family tradition.I know we have lots of beliefs and customs.Can you remind me of one？”
　　Nokomis smiled and nodded with a smile.“Come with me，” she said softly.Peter followed Nokomis.She went to a closet， stretched to reach the top shelf and pulled out a small box.She handed it to Peter， asking him to open it.
　　Peter opened the box.Present before him was a wooden hoop （圈）.It was in the shape of a circle.String was woven and twisted around the hoop.It looked like a spider web.A black bead （珠子） sat near the center with feathers hanging from the bottom.Seeing it， Peter wiped away his tears and smiled.
　　“This is a dream catcher，” said Nokomis.“Our people have made these for many years.Circles are symbols of unity and strength.Let’s hang it over your bed tonight.It will catch your bad dreams in the web， and your good dreams will fall through the center.Maybe it will give you courage to do your presentation.” Looking at Nokomis， Peter asked whether he could take that to school.Nokomis refused because the dream catcher was extremely precious， which meant a lot to her.
　　Peter felt disappointed at her words because he wanted to share the dream catcher with his class.“We could make you one，” said Nokomis.“I’d like that！” cried Peter in excitement.Without delay， Nokomis and Peter worked together and they made a dream catcher.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為 150左右；
2.請按如下格式作答。

W：According to experts， nearly 25% of Britons， including children， are overweight. The government is worried and it is looking for ways to settle the problem.Many 11-to 14-year-olds already do cookery at school and from 2011， the government has been making this a must.It hopes that this will encourage people to cook instead of eating ready meals， fast food and snacks.All secondary school students will have cooking lessons for one hour a week for one term.They will learn to use simple， fresh stuff and simple recipes to prepare healthy， tasty meals.And schools are setting up cookery clubs called “Let’s Get Cooking” throughout the country.The clubs will give more children the chance to learn to cook after school.Head teachers worry about the equipment they will need for the lessons. About 15% of schools do not have kitchens and there are not enough cookery teachers. The government promises to train 800 cookery teachers and to give schools ￡2.5 million a year to help children from poor families.

26.C　推理判斷題。根據第一段中的He eagerly jumped into class discussions， with his humor and wisdom of experience.可知，瓦倫西亞很熱情；根據倒數第二段中的A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework.可知，他很上進。
27.B　主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，杰里·瓦倫西亞是一個63歲的大三學生，盡管年齡很大，但他對學習仍然充滿熱情。在課堂上，他會積極參加討論，尊重其他同學的觀點。他沒有足夠的錢去支付學費但他仍不放棄，通過工作賺錢，堅持繼續完成學業，還要繼續讀研。由此可得出，本文主要告訴我們“It is never too old to learn.”的道理。

第一節
The Importance of Goals
　　As a saying goes，“Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.” Obviously， goals play an essential role in our lives.
　　In the first place， goals guide us towards where we want to head， providing a way to our successful journey.In addition， people who are aware of their goals tend to stay motivated and inspired when faced with adversity.Last but not least， we are becoming physically and spiritually fulfilled when focusing on our goals.
　　Hence， if you still don’t have a goal， set an appropriate one and try to accomplish it.
第二節
　　That night， as Peter looked at the dream catcher over his bed， he had an idea.“Why not share the story of the dream catcher with my class on the presentation day？” Peter said to
himself， his eyes sparkling with joy.Immediately， he started to prepare for it.And it took him quite some time before he got everything ready.Early the next morning， he arrived at the school and waited in excitement.Then came the moment， and with butterflies in his stomach， he made his way to the platform.A little nervous as he felt， his grandmother’s words seemed to echo inside his head and words just flooded out of his mouth.“Today， I’m going to give a presentation on dream catchers.It is a fantastic tradition for our Ojibwe to make these， which are the symbols of courage， unity and strength ...”
　　Thunders of applause exploded after Peter gave the presentation.The moment Peter stepped off the platform， he was surrounded by his classmates.Curious to know more about the dream catcher， they insisted that Peter make one in front of them.Brimming with confidence， Peter took out all the materials that he had prepared the night before.He explained every step carefully as he showed them how to weave and twist string around the hoop.A few minutes later， a beautiful handmade dream catcher appeared like magic.After school， he could hardly wait to get home to share with his grandmother that it was the dream catcher that gave him courage and strength to do the fantastic presentation.

W：According to experts， nearly 25% of Britons， including children，
are overweight. The government is worried and it is looking for ways to
settle the problem.Many 11-to 14-year-olds already do cookery at school
and from 2011， the government has been making this a must.It hopes
that this will encourage people to cook instead of eating ready meals， fast
food and snacks.All secondary school students will have cooking lessons
for one hour a week for one term.They will learn to use simple， fresh
stuff and simple recipes to prepare healthy， tasty meals.And schools are
setting up cookery clubs called “Let’s Get Cooking” throughout the
country.The clubs will give more children the chance to learn to cook after
school.Head teachers worry about the equipment they will need for the
lessons. About 15% of schools do not have kitchens and there are not
enough cookery teachers. The government promises to train 800 cookery
teachers and to give schools ￡2.5 million a year to help children from
poor families.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳
選項。

　?。?024·廣東汕頭河溪中學高二下月考）Selecting gifts for your
beloved ones can be one of the most difficult parts.But don’t worry！
We can help！ Here are some gift ideas to suit all pockets.
Air purifier
　　Do you have a loved one who suffers from allergies （過敏） or
other skin diseases？ Why not gift him or her an air cleaner？ Research
has shown that air purifiers can help reduce allergy reactions， remove
asthma （哮喘） causes such as dust by improving air quality in your
home.Look for purifiers with more than one filter and， especially， a
high efficiency air filter.
Electric toothbrush
　　One review of 56 studies has found that a powered toothbrush resulted
in a 21 per cent reduction of plaque and an 11 per cent reduction in
gingivitis （牙齦炎） after three months， compared with a manual
toothbrush.It’s also a fun way for children to look after their dental
hygiene.
Dark chocolate
　　Nothing screams a gift quite like chocolate.Good news is that dark
chocolate is associated with several health benefits.Small amounts of this
sweet treat may lower the risk of heart disease， improve brain function
and give your immune system a boost， potentially reducing infection.
Your time
　　Quality time spent with your nearest and dearest is completely free，
but is the most precious gift you could give them.If you’ve been too
preoccupied of late， determine to put aside more hours to do fun things
together， or if you have time to devote to others outside your immediate
circle， consider volunteering with Age UK as a friend to an elderly
person.

　?。?024·四川成都石室中學高二下月考）The student arrived
early， sat front and center， and stood out in my classroom in more ways
than one.I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in
my undergraduate communications class.He eagerly jumped into class
discussions， with his humor and wisdom of experience.And he was
always respectful of the other students’ perspectives， as if each of them
were a teacher.Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile — and he left with
one， too.
　　“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel
bad about my age，” Valencia says.
　　One day， I spotted Valencia on campus.He said he would have to
stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year.By then， he
hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in
order.He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my
communications class.
　　“Sure，” I said.But he wouldn’t get any credit.
　　“No problem，” he said.
　　Soon there he was again， back at his old desk， jumping into our
discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles — a 63-year-old
man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.
　　A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford
that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework.“Here he is
willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning，”says
Jessica Espinosa， a 25-year-old junior.Afterward， I overheard Valencia
wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree， but it had
taken him 12 years to finish community college， so he had a long way to
go.
　　There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s
determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s.At his
current pace， he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the
wall.But that doesn’t seem especially relevant.He’s found all the
youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating.Valencia’s grade
in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts （成績
單）.But I’m giving him an A — and in the most important ways， it
counts.

　　Chatting in her bright two-bedroom flat， Shirley Meredeen， aged
91， doesn’t hesitate to describe the benefits of living here.“It keeps
my brain going.We are all very active because there is so much to
do ...We’re really lucky to have such a supportive community.”
　　In 1998， Meredeen first heard of the concept of cohousing as
developed in the Netherlands and decided to copy its model in the UK and
create the Older Women Cohousing （OWCH） with her friends.But they
didn’t imagine that it would be an 18-year struggle.The novelty of the
idea coupled with the lack of data to prove the social and economic
benefits made it difficult for them to access public money.Councils always
compared their idea to sheltered accommodation and saw it as a burden for
their already overstretched budgets.
　　In fact， the community-led housing is a departure from the
conventional understanding of later life.Now， the community comprises
25 flats as well as a shared kitchen， meeting room， laundry， garden，
car park and a guest room.People live together based on
interdependence.They can take control of their future instead of relying on
their families or care homes.All the neighbours look out for each other，
not after each other， which means accompanying to medical
appointments， doing the local shopping， having family contacts in
preparation for an emergency ...But the limits of such informal care
among residents still need to be worked out.
　　OWCH has paved the way to alternative living arrangements in later
life and the support for community-led housing is starting to emerge in the
form of guidance and funding， according to UK Cohousing Network.

　?。?024·河南安陽林州高二下月考）If you’ve ever spent time on a
beach in the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean， there is a solid chance you
came across a slimy mass of rotten， smelly seaweed.
　　The specific ocean plant during those encounters is likely sargassum
（馬尾藻） — while helpful for absorbing CO2， sargassum is also
unbelievably harmful.It can seriously damage both shoreline and ocean
ecosystems， killing red woods， seagrass and countless ocean
animals.Cleanup efforts can cost tens of thousands of dollars while
disturbing both tourist and fishing industries， but the AlgaRay project is
showing great promise in relieving sargassum stress.In fact， its success
has even earned it a place on Time’s Best Inventions of 2023.
　　Off the coasts of Antigua， a roughly 9-foot-wide AlgaRay robot
picks up piles of sargassum until its storage container is full， at which
point the autonomous robot dives 200 meters below the surface.At this
depth， the air pockets that make sargassum leaves so buoyant （有浮力
的） are so pressed by the water that it simply can’t float anymore.Once
let go by AlgaRay， sargassum then sinks to the ocean floor.The robot can
repeat this process between four and six times every hour.And thanks to a
combination of solar panels， lithium batteries （鋰電池）， and
navigational tools， AlgaRay will eventually be able to work almost
nonstop.
　　Of course， ocean ecosystems are complex and delicate at any
depth.AlgaRay’s designers are well aware of this， and make sure they
won’t increase ocean floor CO2 recklessly.A cautious pathway and
detailed monitoring have been built into their approach.Additionally，
they note sargassum blooms — worsened by human activities — are
already causing major issues across the world.
　　As the name might imply， AlgaRay is inspired by manta rays （魔
鬼魚）， which are nearly 30 feet wide and feed on algae.In time，
future generations of the robot could even match manta rays’ huge sizes.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了海洋中的一種特定
植物——馬尾藻的危害，以及為了應對這種危害而開發的一個創新
項目——AlgaRay機器人。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了海洋中的一種特定
植物——馬尾藻的危害，以及為了應對這種危害而開發的一個創新
項目——AlgaRay機器人。
32. What contributed to the birth of the AlgaRay project？（　　）
A. The government’s support.
B. The progress of technology.
C. The increase in tourism.
D. The success of fishing industry.
解析： 　細節理解題。根據第三段中的And thanks to a
combination of solar panels， lithium batteries （鋰電池）， and
navigational tools， AlgaRay will eventually be able to work almost
nonstop.可知，技術的進步是AlgaRay項目誕生的一個關鍵因素。
33. How does the AlgaRay robot clean up sargassum？（　　）
A. By killing all the sargassum off coasts.
B. By locking sargassum in its container.
C. By delivering sargassum into deep sea.
D. By forcing sargassum to float on the surface.
解析： 　細節理解題。根據第三段前三句可知，AlgaRay將馬尾
藻裝入儲存容器，然后送到深海底。
34. What does the underlined word “recklessly” in Paragraph 4 mean？
（　?。?br/>A. Temporarily. B. Flexibly.
C. Irresponsibly. D. Impatiently.
解析： 　詞義猜測題。根據畫線單詞上文Of course， ocean
ecosystems are complex and delicate at any depth.可推測，海洋生態
系統非常脆弱，因此，設計師需要確保這些機器人不能不負責任
地增加海底的二氧化碳。temporarily暫時；flexibly靈活地；
irresponsibly不負責任地；impatiently不耐煩地。
35. What can we infer about the future of AlgaRay from the text？
（　?。?br/>A. It will be far bigger.
B. It will be much cheaper.
C. It will dive deeper still.
D. It will work even longer.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的In time， future
generations of the robot could even match manta rays’ huge sizes.可
推測，AlgaRay未來會和魔鬼魚一樣大小。

The Importance of Goals
　　As a saying goes，“Living without an aim is like sailing without a
compass.” Obviously， goals play an essential role in our lives.
　　In the first place， goals guide us towards where we want to head，
providing a way to our successful journey.In addition， people who are
aware of their goals tend to stay motivated and inspired when faced with
adversity.Last but not least， we are becoming physically and spiritually
fulfilled when focusing on our goals.
　　Hence， if you still don’t have a goal， set an appropriate one and
try to accomplish it.

　?。?024·浙江三鋒聯盟高二下期中）Peter walked home from
school.Salty tears ran down his cheeks， and his stomach hurt.He didn’t
know what to do.Nokomis was waiting for him on the front porch.
　　“What’s wrong， Biyen？” said Peter’s grandmother.Biyen
was the Ojibwe （齊佩瓦人） name for Peter.He called her Nokomis，
which meant grandmother.
　　Peter looked up，“I have to give a presentation where I talk about a
family tradition.I know we have lots of beliefs and customs.Can you
remind me of one？”
　　Nokomis smiled and nodded with a smile.“Come with me，” she
said softly.Peter followed Nokomis.She went to a closet， stretched to
reach the top shelf and pulled out a small box.She handed it to Peter，
asking him to open it.
　　Peter opened the box.Present before him was a wooden hoop
（圈）.It was in the shape of a circle.String was woven and twisted
around the hoop.It looked like a spider web.A black bead （珠子） sat
near the center with feathers hanging from the bottom.Seeing it， Peter
wiped away his tears and smiled.
　　“This is a dream catcher，” said Nokomis.“Our people have
made these for many years.Circles are symbols of unity and
strength.Let’s hang it over your bed tonight.It will catch your bad
dreams in the web， and your good dreams will fall through the
center.Maybe it will give you courage to do your presentation.” Looking
at Nokomis， Peter asked whether he could take that to school.Nokomis
refused because the dream catcher was extremely precious， which meant
a lot to her.
　　Peter felt disappointed at her words because he wanted to share the
dream catcher with his class.“We could make you one，” said
Nokomis.“I’d like that！” cried Peter in excitement.Without delay，
Nokomis and Peter worked together and they made a dream catcher.

　　That night， as Peter looked at the dream catcher over his bed， he
had an idea.“Why not share the story of the dream catcher with my class
on the presentation day？” Peter said to himself， his eyes sparkling with
joy.Immediately， he started to prepare for it.And it took him quite some
time before he got everything ready.Early the next morning， he arrived
at the school and waited in excitement.Then came the moment， and with
butterflies in his stomach， he made his way to the platform.A little
nervous as he felt， his grandmother’s words seemed to echo inside his
head and words just flooded out of his mouth.“
Today， I’m going to give a presentation on dream catchers.It is a
fantastic tradition for our Ojibwe to make these， which are the symbols of
courage， unity and strength ...”
　　Thunders of applause exploded after Peter gave the presentation.The
moment Peter stepped off the platform， he was surrounded by his
classmates.Curious to know more about the dream catcher， they insisted
that Peter make one in front of them.Brimming with confidence， Peter
took out all the materials that he had prepared the night before.He
explained every step carefully as he showed them how to weave and twist
string around the hoop.A few minutes later， a beautiful handmade dream
catcher appeared like magic.After school， he could hardly wait to get
home to share with his grandmother that it was the dream catcher that gave
him courage and strength to do the fantastic presentation.
