Thanks to its super walk able historic center and handy square of famous museums, Amsterdam is practically made for two-day trips.
Day 1
Morning
Start your day off in the Centrum with breakfast in the charming courtyard cafe De Koffieschenkerijm, situated within the De OudeChurch, Amsterdam’s oldest building. After that, wander the surrounding streets and take in Amsterdam’s oldest buildings, and streets, like Nieuwendijk, a busy pedestrian shopping street. From here, continue south to Dam Square to see them assive Royal Palace.
Afternoon
Cross over to the Flower Market, which has been selling tulips since the mid-1800s. Then you’ll want to make your way to the Anne Frank House, where Anne Frank and her family hid during World War II. This is one of the city’s most visited sights, so you have to pre-book a timed ticket online.
Day 2
Morning
Kick off your day at Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands. Get there right at 9 a.m. when it opens to head off the crowds. Head directly to admire the famed 17th-century Golden Age paintings from the likes of Vermeer and Rembrandt.
Afternoon
Grab lunch at one of the food trucks on Museumplein. If you want to rest your feet a little longer, hit up The Burger Room, a Wizard of Oz-themed restaurant around the corner. Refueled and ready for more, cross the street to the Van Gogh Museum, which holds the largest collection of the famed artist’s works. Tickets will sell out fast, so be sure to book your timed entry.
After you’ve been thoroughly blown away by Post-Impressionism, take the tram to Sampurna, a long-running Dutch restaurant,trying their signature dishes — “Erwtensoep” and “Pannenkoeken”.

At age 23, Chad’s life was just beginning. But one night, a drunk driver crashed into his motorcycle and his leg was severely injured. To save the leg, Chad went through operation after operation, but in vain. When the doctor announced the leg had to come off, Chad sank into a bitter desperation. How would he function with only one leg? Would he have the family he had always dreamed of? And how would he ever pay off the hospital bills?
Nothing we did eased his deep frustration. One night, I brought Gene, the husband of my colleague, to Chad’s hospital room. Gene joked with Chad at once, telling him he was “on his last leg”. Chad exploded, “How can you talk like that when they’re going to cut off my leg?” Gene just bent over, rolled up his trousers and revealed his own prosthesis (假肢). I left them alone.
When I returned an hour later, the light had come back into Chad’s eyes. “Gene said that people who give to others always get back more than they give. He said I should not worry about my future and the most important thing was never to give up.”
Four months later, Chad was back at work. He remembered Gene’s words. He learned to ride a bicycle with his fake leg, swam one-legged and practiced running slow. However, the hardest problem was how he would ever get back on his “foot” financially. The hospital bills would take him thirty years to pay.
His doctor often called to ask him to rush to the hospital and offer comfort to an injury victim. No matter how tired Chad was, no matter when he was called, he would drop everything to help. One day, he received a different call. “Chad,” the doctor began, “I am calling to tell you that a stranger has just paid all your medical bills.”
Gene was right. People who give freely to others get back more than they give.
24．What can we learn about Chad after the accident?
A．He felt concerned about his future. B．He left the hospital in desperation.
C．He regretted riding the motorcycle. D．He refused to receive the treatment.25．How did Gene manage to cheer Chad?
A．He tended Chad carefully and lovingly.
B．He offered some funny words of comfort.
C．He shared a similar story of his own with Chad.
D．He proved to be capable of swimming one-legged.26．Which of the following best describes Chad?
A．Determined and helpful. B．Caring and humorous.
C．Confident and cooperative. D．Ambitious and warmhearted.27．What message does the author want to convey in the text?
A．Love breaks down barriers. B．Kindness is always rewarded.
C．A good medicine tastes bitter. D．He who laughs last laughs best.
When you enjoy your morning cup of tea, you are probably not aware that those tea leaves can mean injury, or even death, for Asian elephants wandering Indian tea gardens.
In the Indian state of Assam, growing numbers of tea farms are destroying the Asian elephant’s habitats and endangering their population. Much of the forest land where tea is grown in Assam is flat and thus farmers must dig drainage trenches or small channels to prevent water from accumulating and hurting the plants. The trenches, however, can be death traps for the elephants.
Since the elephants need to use tea plantations as landmarks when traveling in forests, they almost unavoidably have to move through the farms. Moreover, because there are fewer humans around, pregnant females often use tea-growing areas as safe shelters to give birth. But baby elephants, still not used to rough ground may easily fall into the trenches and get hurt. Once injured, they might not be able to climb out. When mothers try to dig their babies out, both may be trapped in thick mud, even be killed. Furthermore, elephants are known to resist leaving their sick or dying behind, and a group may stay at a trench with a trapped baby for hours, unwilling to move on until all hope is lost.
Is there possibility for elephants to live in harmony with the booming tea business? Elephant Friendly Tea is an organization that takes the initiative to make it possible. The organization encourages consumers to choose brands that take an active part in elephants protection, and has established a certification program to reward tea growers who are doing it right. Until now, only smaller tea brands have been certified, but awareness is growing. The organization believes that people may be encouraged to buy elephant-friendly brands when they know more about the risk tea can cause to these endangered animals.
28．Why do farmers in Assam dig trenches?
A．To trap elephants. B．To mark boundaries.
C．To protect tea trees. D．To expand tea farms.29．What can we say about baby elephants?
A．They get stuck by the sharp branches of the tea trees.
B．They have difficulty moving around the uneven fields.
C．They might miss the landmarks while travelling in forests.
D．They fail to find a safe shelter when climbing out of trenches.30．What does “it” underlined in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Encouraging consumers to choose high-quality brands.
B．Rewarding tea growers for protecting the environment.
C．Promoting elephant-friendly trenches and organizations.
D．Creating a win-win situation for elephants and tea farms.31．Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．The Trenches Pose Threats to Elephants
B．Habitat Loss Affects Endangered Animals
C．Growth of Tea Gardens Benefits Plantation
D．Farms Sponsor Environmental Organizations
An open letter, attracting signatures from the likes of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, was released early last week. It advocates a 6-month stop to give Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies and regulators time to make safeguards to protect society from potential risks of the technology.
AI has progressed at an alarming speed since the launch of ChatGPT, from the Microsoft-backed company Open AI. ChatGPT reportedly reached more than 100 million users by January, 2023, and major tech companies are racing to build generative AI into their products, which have caught many off guard.
“I think many people aren’t well prepared for the pace and scale of these AI models. They are ideal for spreading misinformation, cheating people out of their money and convincing employees to click on dangerous links in emails,” says Michael Osborne, a machine learning researcher of AI company Mind Foundry, who signed the letter. “I feel that a 6-month pause would give regulators enough time to catch up with the rapid pace of advances.”
Privacy is another emerging concern, as critics worry that systems could exactly reproduce personal information from their training sets. Italy’s data protection authority prohibited ChatGPT on 31 March over concerns that Italians’ personal data are being used to train Open AI’s models. Some technologists warn of deeper security threats. Planned ChatGPT-based digital assistants that can read and write emails could offer new opportunities for hackers.
Unfortunately, many problems of today’s AI models don’t have easy solutions. One tricky issue is how to make AI-generated content easy to detect. Some researchers are working on “watermarking” — creating a digital signature in the AI’s output. However, a recent research finds that tools which slightly change AI-produced text can easily defeat this approach.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates tells Reuters the proposed pause won’t “solve the challenges” ahead. He notes the people behind the letter are heavily involved in the tech world, which he thinks gives them an arrow perspective on the potential risks.
32．What’s the purpose of the open letter?
A．To draw the attention of AI giants.
B．To present the risks of AI technology.
C．To call for a pause on the AI development.
D．To turn down the application of AI programs.33．What can we infer about AI from the text?
A．AI models threaten human survival.
B．AI users have expanded out of control.
C．AI development brings potential dangers.
D．AI technology will replace human beings.34．What does the author aim to show by mentioning “watermarking” in Paragraph 5?
A．It is hard to sign digitally. B．It is easy to detect AI’s output.
C．It is wise to leave a water mark. D．It is tough to settle AI problems.35．What’s Bill Gates’ attitude towards the 6-month pause?
A．Favorable. B．Negative.
C．Ambiguous. D．Tolerant.
五、七选五
It’s quite common for some people to forget to take their medicines. Others might get well before finishing the prescription and no longer need the leftovers. No matter what the reason might be, unused medicines are likely to do serious harm to children or pets. 36
To deal with unwanted medicines, quite a number of people simply throw old pills into the garbage or flush(冲掉)them down the toilets. 37 Some medicines can become poisonous over a period of time, and others contain powerful chemicals, which might damage water pipes, pollute the environment, or even cause harm to people and animals. Where and how to treat those medicines?
38 These places often have drop-off bins for collecting unwanted medicines. Professionals there will help you get rid of those medical wastes. Police stations and fire departments may also have drop boxes where drugs can be safely thrown away. Some medical items have special guidelines for disposal(处置). Used needles that are sharp and may cause infections and diseases must be thrown away at specially designated zones.Inhalers, which are likely to explode, should also be taken to specific places.To find out where to drop off these items, call a local hospital or police station. 39
Lastly, when handling the prescription medicines,separate pills from packaging that contains personal information. 40 Doing this will ensure that your medical information remains hidden from anyone who is digging around in the garbage.
A．Both methods, however, can be harmful.
B．They will direct you to a safe disposal location.
C．The outcome depends on what are in the medicines.
D．The best way is to take them to a drugstore or hospital.
E．Names were changed to protect the privacy of those involved.
F．Therefore, all medicines should be thrown away if no longer needed.
G．Cross out drug names and the names of healthcare providers on the labels.

九、读后续写
67．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。
The Bicycle
When I was nine I needed to earn some money, so I asked Mr. Miceli, the newspaper publisher in my Chicago neighbourhood, about an after-school paper route. He agreed only if I had a bicycle.
My dad bought me a used bike, but right after that he fell ill and couldn’t teach me to ride. Mr. Miceli, however, merely asked to see the bike. So I walked to his garage, showed it to him and got the job.
At first, I filled my delivery bag with rolled papers over the handlebars and walked my bike down the sidewalks. But pushing a bike with a load of papers was awkward; after a few days I borrowed Mom’s two-wheeled shopping cart.
It took me longer to make my deliveries by cart, but I didn’t mind. I sent each paper to its proper destination. In rain or snow, I put Dad’s old raincoat over the cart to keep the papers dry. I got to meet everyone in the neighborhood — working-class people of Italian, German or Polish origins who were invariably kind to me.
When Dad returned from the hospital, he was too weak to resume his original job. Now we needed every penny we could raise to pay bills, so we sold the bike. Mr. Miceli must have known I wasn’t using a bike, but he said nothing about it to me.
On the Thursday evening before Christmas, 1951, I rang my first customer’s doorbell. Even though the lights were on, nobody answered, so I went on to the next house. No answer, nor did anyone respond at the next family on my route, or the one after.
I was very worried; I had to pay for my papers every Friday. And while it was almost Christmas, I never thought that everyone would be out shopping. So I was very happy when, going up the walkway to Mr. Gordon’s house, I heard music and voices. I rang the bell.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The door flew open, and Mr. Gordon dragged me inside.

W: Oh no! I feel even more embarrassed now. Do your parents think I’m rude?
M: They were surprised at first. But once I explained to them about what it’s like in America, they both laughed. They understand now.
W: Thanks. I would honestly be so sad if they didn’t like me.
M: That won’t happen. They like you a lot. Not only did I tell them that you were at the top of our class, but I told them how good you are at soccer. My dad was very excited. He has a few awards in the sport.
W: That’s a relief.
M: In fact, they wanted me to invite you to our holiday dinner.
W: I’m afraid I’ll be a bit late, but I will absolutely come after our school play. It is the only thing I have going on that day, but it’s important. I was given the honor of acting in it, even though I’m just an exchange student.

Elephant Friendly Tea is an organization that takes the initiative to make it possible.”（大象有可能与蓬勃发展的茶业和谐相处吗?Elephant Friendly Tea是一个主动采取行动使it成为可能的组织。）可知，该组织采取行动，致力于保证大象安全和茶叶生意的发展，此处it指代上文提到的“elephants to live in harmony with the booming tea business”，即大象保护和茶业发展的双赢局面。故选D项。
31．主旨大意题。根据第二段中“In the Indian state of Assam, growing numbers of tea farms are destroying the Asian elephant’s habitats and endangering their population.”（在印度阿萨姆邦，越来越多的茶园正在破坏亚洲象的栖息地，并危及它们的数量。）及“The trenches, however, can be death traps for the elephants.”（然而，沟渠对大象来说可能是死亡陷阱。）并结合下文茶农挖的沟渠对大象的具体危害的描述可知，本文主要介绍了茶叶种植尤其是茶园内的沟渠对亚洲象的生存环境造成了威胁。故选A项。

However, a recent research finds that tools which slightly change AI-produced text can easily defeat this approach.”（一些研究人员正在研究“水印”——在人工智能的输出中创建数字签名。然而，最近的一项研究发现，稍微改变人工智能生成的文本的工具很容易击败这种方法。）可知，解决人工智能问题是复杂的，无法轻易解决，提到研究人员研究的“水印”技术很容易更改，证明了人工智能问题很难解决。故选D项。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates tells Reuters the proposed pause won’t “solve the challenges” ahead. ”（微软联合创始人比尔·盖茨对路透社表示，拟议中的暂停不会“解决”未来的挑战。）可知，比尔·盖茨认为6个月的暂停计划无法解决未来的挑战，他对该计划持否定的态度。故选B项。

The door flew open, and Mr. Gordon dragged me inside. Jammed in his living room were all my subscribers! In the center of the room, I saw a new bicycle, a canvas bag packed with colorful envelopes on its handlebar. “A Christmas present our best paperboy!” Mr. Gordon said. Sensing my confusion, he continued, “We’ve all seen you in the rain and snow with that little shopping cart, so we suppose you ought to have a bicycle.” Deeply touched, I felt tears of gratitude filling my eyes.
After walking the bicycle home, I opened those envelopes. They held Christmas cards from every subscriber, along with their subscription fees and tips. Kindness did not end there, though. The next day, when I got to Mr. Miceli’s garage, he was waiting outside. “Bring your bike tomorrow morning, and I’ll teach you to ride,” he offered. When I felt comfortable on a bike, Mr. Miceli asked me to deliver a second route. Delivering both routes on my new bike, I really appreciated the kind Chicagoans’ love and support.

Thanks to its super walk able historic center and handy square of famous museums, Amsterdam is practically made for two-day trips.
Day 1
Morning
Start your day off in the Centrum with breakfast in the charming courtyard cafe De Koffieschenkerijm, situated within the De OudeChurch, Amsterdam’s oldest building. After that, wander the surrounding streets and take in Amsterdam’s oldest buildings, and streets, like Nieuwendijk, a busy pedestrian shopping street. From here, continue south to Dam Square to see them assive Royal Palace.
Afternoon
Cross over to the Flower Market, which has been selling tulips since the mid-1800s. Then you’ll want to make your way to the Anne Frank House, where Anne Frank and her family hid during World War II. This is one of the city’s most visited sights, so you have to pre-book a timed ticket online.
Day 2
Morning
Kick off your day at Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands. Get there right at 9 a.m. when it opens to head off the crowds. Head directly to admire the famed 17th-century Golden Age paintings from the likes of Vermeer and Rembrandt.
Afternoon
Grab lunch at one of the food trucks on Museumplein. If you want to rest your feet a little longer, hit up The Burger Room, a Wizard of Oz-themed restaurant around the corner. Refueled and ready for more, cross the street to the Van Gogh Museum, which holds the largest collection of the famed artist’s works. Tickets will sell out fast, so be sure to book your timed entry.
After you’ve been thoroughly blown away by Post-Impressionism, take the tram to Sampurna, a long-running Dutch restaurant,trying their signature dishes — “Erwtensoep” and “Pannenkoeken”.

At age 23, Chad’s life was just beginning. But one night, a drunk driver crashed into his motorcycle and his leg was severely injured. To save the leg, Chad went through operation after operation, but in vain. When the doctor announced the leg had to come off, Chad sank into a bitter desperation. How would he function with only one leg? Would he have the family he had always dreamed of? And how would he ever pay off the hospital bills?
Nothing we did eased his deep frustration. One night, I brought Gene, the husband of my colleague, to Chad’s hospital room. Gene joked with Chad at once, telling him he was “on his last leg”. Chad exploded, “How can you talk like that when they’re going to cut off my leg?” Gene just bent over, rolled up his trousers and revealed his own prosthesis (假肢). I left them alone.
When I returned an hour later, the light had come back into Chad’s eyes. “Gene said that people who give to others always get back more than they give. He said I should not worry about my future and the most important thing was never to give up.”
Four months later, Chad was back at work. He remembered Gene’s words. He learned to ride a bicycle with his fake leg, swam one-legged and practiced running slow. However, the hardest problem was how he would ever get back on his “foot” financially. The hospital bills would take him thirty years to pay.
His doctor often called to ask him to rush to the hospital and offer comfort to an injury victim. No matter how tired Chad was, no matter when he was called, he would drop everything to help. One day, he received a different call. “Chad,” the doctor began, “I am calling to tell you that a stranger has just paid all your medical bills.”
Gene was right. People who give freely to others get back more than they give.
24．What can we learn about Chad after the accident?
A．He felt concerned about his future. B．He left the hospital in desperation.
C．He regretted riding the motorcycle. D．He refused to receive the treatment.25．How did Gene manage to cheer Chad?
A．He tended Chad carefully and lovingly.
B．He offered some funny words of comfort.
C．He shared a similar story of his own with Chad.
D．He proved to be capable of swimming one-legged.26．Which of the following best describes Chad?
A．Determined and helpful. B．Caring and humorous.
C．Confident and cooperative. D．Ambitious and warmhearted.27．What message does the author want to convey in the text?
A．Love breaks down barriers. B．Kindness is always rewarded.
C．A good medicine tastes bitter. D．He who laughs last laughs best.
When you enjoy your morning cup of tea, you are probably not aware that those tea leaves can mean injury, or even death, for Asian elephants wandering Indian tea gardens.
In the Indian state of Assam, growing numbers of tea farms are destroying the Asian elephant’s habitats and endangering their population. Much of the forest land where tea is grown in Assam is flat and thus farmers must dig drainage trenches or small channels to prevent water from accumulating and hurting the plants. The trenches, however, can be death traps for the elephants.
Since the elephants need to use tea plantations as landmarks when traveling in forests, they almost unavoidably have to move through the farms. Moreover, because there are fewer humans around, pregnant females often use tea-growing areas as safe shelters to give birth. But baby elephants, still not used to rough ground may easily fall into the trenches and get hurt. Once injured, they might not be able to climb out. When mothers try to dig their babies out, both may be trapped in thick mud, even be killed. Furthermore, elephants are known to resist leaving their sick or dying behind, and a group may stay at a trench with a trapped baby for hours, unwilling to move on until all hope is lost.
Is there possibility for elephants to live in harmony with the booming tea business? Elephant Friendly Tea is an organization that takes the initiative to make it possible. The organization encourages consumers to choose brands that take an active part in elephants protection, and has established a certification program to reward tea growers who are doing it right. Until now, only smaller tea brands have been certified, but awareness is growing. The organization believes that people may be encouraged to buy elephant-friendly brands when they know more about the risk tea can cause to these endangered animals.
28．Why do farmers in Assam dig trenches?
A．To trap elephants. B．To mark boundaries.
C．To protect tea trees. D．To expand tea farms.29．What can we say about baby elephants?
A．They get stuck by the sharp branches of the tea trees.
B．They have difficulty moving around the uneven fields.

An open letter, attracting signatures from the likes of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, was released early last week. It advocates a 6-month stop to give Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies and regulators time to make safeguards to protect society from potential risks of the technology.
AI has progressed at an alarming speed since the launch of ChatGPT, from the Microsoft-backed company Open AI. ChatGPT reportedly reached more than 100 million users by January, 2023, and major tech companies are racing to build generative AI into their products, which have caught many off guard.
“I think many people aren’t well prepared for the pace and scale of these AI models. They are ideal for spreading misinformation, cheating people out of their money and convincing employees to click on dangerous links in emails,” says Michael Osborne, a machine learning researcher of AI company Mind Foundry, who signed the letter. “I feel that a 6-month pause would give regulators enough time to catch up with the rapid pace of advances.”
Privacy is another emerging concern, as critics worry that systems could exactly reproduce personal information from their training sets. Italy’s data protection authority prohibited ChatGPT on 31 March over concerns that Italians’ personal data are being used to train Open AI’s models. Some technologists warn of deeper security threats. Planned ChatGPT-based digital assistants that can read and write emails could offer new opportunities for hackers.
Unfortunately, many problems of today’s AI models don’t have easy solutions. One tricky issue is how to make AI-generated content easy to detect. Some researchers are working on “watermarking” — creating a digital signature in the AI’s output. However, a recent research finds that tools which slightly change AI-produced text can easily defeat this approach.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates tells Reuters the proposed pause won’t “solve the challenges” ahead. He notes the people behind the letter are heavily involved in the tech world, which he thinks gives them an arrow perspective on the potential risks.
32．What’s the purpose of the open letter?
A．To draw the attention of AI giants.
B．To present the risks of AI technology.
C．To call for a pause on the AI development.
D．To turn down the application of AI programs.33．What can we infer about AI from the text?
A．AI models threaten human survival.
B．AI users have expanded out of control.
C．AI development brings potential dangers.
D．AI technology will replace human beings.34．What does the author aim to show by mentioning “watermarking” in Paragraph 5?
A．It is hard to sign digitally. B．It is easy to detect AI’s output.
C．It is wise to leave a water mark. D．It is tough to settle AI problems.35．What’s Bill Gates’ attitude towards the 6-month pause?
A．Favorable. B．Negative.
C．Ambiguous. D．Tolerant.

It’s quite common for some people to forget to take their medicines. Others might get well before finishing the prescription and no longer need the leftovers. No matter what the reason might be, unused medicines are likely to do serious harm to children or pets. 36
To deal with unwanted medicines, quite a number of people simply throw old pills into the garbage or flush(冲掉)them down the toilets. 37 Some medicines can become poisonous over a period of time, and others contain powerful chemicals, which might damage water pipes, pollute the environment, or even cause harm to people and animals. Where and how to treat those medicines?
38 These places often have drop-off bins for collecting unwanted medicines. Professionals there will help you get rid of those medical wastes. Police stations and fire departments may also have drop boxes where drugs can be safely thrown away. Some medical items have special guidelines for disposal(处置). Used needles that are sharp and may cause infections and diseases must be thrown away at specially designated zones.Inhalers, which are likely to explode, should also be taken to specific places.To find out where to drop off these items, call a local hospital or police station. 39
Lastly, when handling the prescription medicines,separate pills from packaging that contains personal information. 40 Doing this will ensure that your medical information remains hidden from anyone who is digging around in the garbage.
A．Both methods, however, can be harmful.
B．They will direct you to a safe disposal location.
C．The outcome depends on what are in the medicines.
D．The best way is to take them to a drugstore or hospital.
E．Names were changed to protect the privacy of those involved.
F．Therefore, all medicines should be thrown away if no longer needed.
G．Cross out drug names and the names of healthcare providers on the labels.

九、读后续写
67．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。
The Bicycle
When I was nine I needed to earn some money, so I asked Mr. Miceli, the newspaper publisher in my Chicago neighbourhood, about an after-school paper route. He agreed only if I had a bicycle.
My dad bought me a used bike, but right after that he fell ill and couldn’t teach me to ride. Mr. Miceli, however, merely asked to see the bike. So I walked to his garage, showed it to him and got the job.
At first, I filled my delivery bag with rolled papers over the handlebars and walked my bike down the sidewalks. But pushing a bike with a load of papers was awkward; after a few days I borrowed Mom’s two-wheeled shopping cart.
It took me longer to make my deliveries by cart, but I didn’t mind. I sent each paper to its proper destination. In rain or snow, I put Dad’s old raincoat over the cart to keep the papers dry. I got to meet everyone in the neighborhood — working-class people of Italian, German or Polish origins who were invariably kind to me.
When Dad returned from the hospital, he was too weak to resume his original job. Now we needed every penny we could raise to pay bills, so we sold the bike. Mr. Miceli must have known I wasn’t using a bike, but he said nothing about it to me.
On the Thursday evening before Christmas, 1951, I rang my first customer’s doorbell. Even though the lights were on, nobody answered, so I went on to the next house. No answer, nor did anyone respond at the next family on my route, or the one after.
I was very worried; I had to pay for my papers every Friday. And while it was almost Christmas, I never thought that everyone would be out shopping. So I was very happy when, going up the walkway to Mr. Gordon’s house, I heard music and voices. I rang the bell.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The door flew open, and Mr. Gordon dragged me inside.

W: Oh no! I feel even more embarrassed now. Do your parents think I’m rude?
M: They were surprised at first. But once I explained to them about what it’s like in America, they both laughed. They understand now.
W: Thanks. I would honestly be so sad if they didn’t like me.
M: That won’t happen. They like you a lot. Not only did I tell them that you were at the top of our class, but I told them how good you are at soccer. My dad was very excited. He has a few awards in the sport.
W: That’s a relief.
M: In fact, they wanted me to invite you to our holiday dinner.
W: I’m afraid I’ll be a bit late, but I will absolutely come after our school play. It is the only thing I have going on that day, but it’s important. I was given the honor of acting in it, even though I’m just an exchange student.

67．
The door flew open, and Mr. Gordon dragged me inside. Jammed in his living room were all my subscribers! In the center of the room, I saw a new bicycle, a canvas bag packed with colorful envelopes on its handlebar. “A Christmas present our best paperboy!” Mr. Gordon said. Sensing my confusion, he continued, “We’ve all seen you in the rain and snow with that little shopping cart, so we suppose you ought to have a bicycle.” Deeply touched, I felt tears of gratitude filling my eyes.
After walking the bicycle home, I opened those envelopes. They held Christmas cards from every subscriber, along with their subscription fees and tips. Kindness did not end there, though. The next day, when I got to Mr. Miceli’s garage, he was waiting outside. “Bring your bike tomorrow morning, and I’ll teach you to ride,” he offered. When I felt comfortable on a bike, Mr. Miceli asked me to deliver a second route. Delivering both routes on my new bike, I really appreciated the kind Chicagoans’ love and support.
