A MOTHER'S DAY SURPRISE

The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother's Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.

The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan.Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.

Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the

porridge. But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well. 注意:续写词数应为150左右。

答案

One possible version:

As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. When seeing Jeff's hand burned, he went and fetch the first-aid kit and treated it instantly. “Why did you cook by yourselves? Don't you know it's dangerous?” shouted the father with anger. “Today is Mother's Day. We want to prepare breakfast and give Mother a big surprise.” Hearing this, the father smiled and whispered, “How I am proud of you! Let's do it together!” It was not long before a perfect breakfast was well done, giving off nice smell.

The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. At the sight of the meal, the mother felt a little confused, asking “Where did you get this breakfast?” “We have done it with Father. It's a surprise for you on Mother's Day,”

responded Jeff, his face blooming like a flower. “This is the best gift I have ever received! Thank you!” said the mother excitedly with tears sparkling in her eyes. She embraced the twins tightly. At that time, the twins really knew home was a place where members should understand each other and enjoy love. Writing 2(2021浙江6月改编)

My dad, George, only had an eighth grade education. A quiet man, he didn't understand my world of school activities. From age 14, he worked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad earned and used it to pay family expenses.

I didn't really understand his world either: He was a livestock trucker, and I thought that I would surpass(超过) anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.

Summers in the mid-'70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball, or throwing a football, preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced my trombone(长号).

The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer hired to work in his field. He explained our basic task, the tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over, but we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb's-quarters, foxtails, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay, even though I wasn't sure how much it would amount to.

At home, my dad said,“A job's a big step to growing up. I'm glad you will be contributing to the household.” My dad's words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.

My labors lasted about two weeks, and the farmer said there might be more work, but I wasn't interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.

When I brought my paycheck home—it was$119—my dad wanted to talk to

me.

I was surprised that my dad allowed me to use the money as I wished. 答案

One possible version:

When I brought my paycheck home—it was$119—my dad wanted to talk to me. When he beckoned me over at the table, I edged closer reluctantly,expecting what would be in store for me and my hard-earned money in the pocket. I stood before my dad, head drooping and heart thudding. Silence fell upon us for a moment. Father then reached out his hand, stroked my head and smiled, “I'm happy you are growing up and contributing to the family, son!” “But why can't I keep my own money? It's unfair!” I blurted out these words bottled in my heart, face crimson. Dad seemed to be shocked at my sudden eruption like a volcano, but soon he understood. “Of course, you can have it,” he promised.

I was surprised that my dad allowed me to use the money as I wished. A surge of excitement bubbling up inside me, I looked up into my dad's dark eyes, which were shining with delight. Dad nodded at me, “I know you love sports and will make a great quarterback. So go for your future, son, and you don't have to be another George.” I was speechless at this, feeling ashamed of my selfishness and guilty at my misunderstandings.Quiet man as Dad was, he clearly did more than he said and understood more than I thought. The next few weeks, I worked on the farm with more interest and felt less tired. I learned that I could contribute to the household in my own way.

The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.

Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.

One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.

“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara.“He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.”

After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara.“His family is suffering so much.”

“So do I,” said Harry.“We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried,“I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).”

The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John.“You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn(爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.” 注意:续写词数应为150左右。

When Mrs. Meredith heard of John's idea, she thought it was a good one,

too.

With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. 答案

One possible version:

When Mrs. Meredith heard of John's idea, she thought it was a good one, too. Smiling, she said, “You may send it to him every Saturday morning, if you are willing to make popcorn for him yourselves. John, will you agree to be responsible for the work?” “Absolutely!” replied John, excitement shining in his eyes. Immediately, the children were busy making popcorn while their mother went out to invite Bernard. When coming back, she brought Bernard with her who had been told everything. Seeing the popcorn arranged in the basket, he was moved to tears.

With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. Everything went amazingly!Soon he returned with an empty basket. Never had he earned so much money before in his life. Finding it was all to be his, he was so delighted that he could hardly speak, but his face lit up. People began to watch for the “little popcorn boy”,

and every week he had at least fifty cents to take home. All this was due to John's bright idea, and the way he carried it out. He became a little hero in the community. Writing 4(2020浙江7月改编)

One fall, my wife Elli and I had a single goal: to photograph polar bears. We were staying at a research camp outside “the polar bear capital of the world”—the town of Churchill in Manitoba, Canada.

Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous. Polar bears—like all wild animals—should be photographed from a safe distance. When I'm face to face with a polar bear, I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens. But sometimes, that is easier said than done. This was one of those times.

As Elli and I cooked dinner, a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed, and smelled our garlic bread.

The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp, which was surrounded by a high wire fence. He pulled and bit the wire. He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts.

Terrified, Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew. We yelled at the bear, hit pots hard, and fired blank shotgun shells into the air. Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off. Not this polar bear though—he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws(爪子).

I radioed the camp manager for help. He told me a helicopter was on its way, but it would be 30 minutes before it arrived. Making the best of this close encounter (相遇), I took some pictures of the bear.

Elli and I feared the fence wouldn't last through 30 more minutes of the bear's punishment. The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray. The spray burns the bears' eyes, but doesn't hurt them. So I approached our uninvited guest slowly and, through the fence, sprayed him in the face. With an angry roar (吼叫), the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes. 注意:续写词数应为150左右。

A few minutes later, the bear headed back to our

camp.

At that very moment, the helicopter arrived. 答案

One possible version:

A few minutes later, the bear headed back to our camp. Probably angered by the spray, the bear started attacking the fence even more violently. Not knowing what to do, I just stood there frozen with terror. Apparently, Elli kept a much more clear head

facing this critical situation. She grabbed a big piece of garlic bread from the plate and threw it across the fence, which immediately drew the bear's attention. The bear stopped pounding the fence and walked towards the bread, but he went back again in a minute when he finished the bread.

At that very moment, the helicopter arrived. The noises of the helicopter frightened the bear away, leaping clumsily into the bush. Although he disappeared temporarily, we dared not remain there anymore. Climbing quickly into the helicopter, I slowly recollected myself! At our request, the helicopter circled the snowy area to follow the bear, so that we could take more photographs of the bear running through the bush.The day was really an adventure, but I thought it was worthwhile. The pictures taken that day were very beautiful. I felt the close-up snaps we took were worth the danger we experienced. Writing 5(2018浙江6月改编)

It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.

We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad's friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.

His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guest room of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast.“The day starts at dawn on my farm,”he said. After

breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草).I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.

In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don't be late for supper,”Uncle Paul cried,“and keep to the track so that you don't get lost!”“OK!”my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的)blanket spread out upon the ground just for us. 注意:续写词数应为150左右。

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my

horse.

We had no idea where we were and it got

dark.

答案

One possible version:

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. This unexpected appearance frightened my horse, which made it run wildly. I tried my best to control it, but in vain. Frightened as I was, I tried to keep my balance to prevent myself from falling off. Fortunately, minutes later, the horse stopped before a river, out of breath, and so did I. At that moment, my dad also came up. Seeing I was OK, he was quite relieved. But it was clear that we got lost.

We had no idea where we were and it got dark. We didn't know where the farm house was. What we could do was to go back along the previous track slowly. But it was really difficult for us in such a dark situation. Just as we were at the point of desperation, we heard a faint voice from the distance. “It must be Uncle Paul,” I said. So we cried back with excitement. Finally, Uncle Paul safely brought us back home. What an amazing ride!

A Vacation with My Mother

I had an interesting childhood. It was filled with surprises and amusements, all because of my mother—loving, sweet, yet absent-minded and forgetful. One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her.

My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota, and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way. As the first day of our trip approached, David, my

eight-year-old brother, and I unwillingly said good-bye to all of our friends. Who knew if we'd ever see them again? Finally, the moment of our departure arrived, and we loaded suitcases, books, games, camping equipment, and a tent into the car and bravely drove off. We bravely drove off again two hours later after we'd returned home to get the purse and traveler's checks Mom had forgotten.

David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept: “You stand outside the door and play lookout(放哨)while I go, and I'll stand outside the door and play lookout while you go.” I had terrible pictures in my mind: “Honey, where are the kids?” “What?! Oh, Gosh...I thought they were being awfully quiet.” We were never actually left behind in a strange city, but we weren't about to take any chances.

On the fourth or fifth night, we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy. After driving in vain for some time, Mom suddenly got a great idea: Why didn't we find a house with a likely-looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there? David and I became nervous. To our great relief, Dad turned down the idea. Mom never could understand our objections(反对). If a strange family showed up on her front doorstep, Mom would have been delighted. She thinks everyone in the world is as nice as she is. We finally found a vacancy in the next town. 注意:续写词数应为150左右。

The next day we remembered the brand-new tent we had brought with

us.

We drove through several states and saw lots of great sights along the

way.

答案

One possible version:

The next day we remembered the brand-new tent we had brought with us. We decided to camp along the river. The views there were surprisingly beautiful—the warm sunshine, the fresh air, the clean water. We sat on the grass, enjoying the splendid nature. However, when Dad was about to put up our tent, he was disappointed to find that it had been left in the hotel. Well, Dad had to go back to fetch it to continue our camping.

We drove through several states and saw lots of great sights along the way. Every time we got to a new place, Mom would cheer up like a child. She would get off the car excitedly, laughing and dancing around. Together we enjoyed the modern sights in the big cities, the historical buildings in the small towns and the amazing scenery in nature. When we came back to the hotel after the tiring but excellent visit, Mom would hug us and kiss us on our faces. How sweet she was! Absent-minded and forgetful as she was, she never forgot to express her love to us. Writing 7(2017浙江6月改编)

On a bright, warm July afternoon, Mac Hollan, a primary school teacher, was cycling from his home to Alaska with his friends. One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but they had encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedaled(骑行) along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday.

Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. “Man, that's a big dog!”he thought. But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn't a dog at all, but a wolf, quickly catching up with him.

Mac's heart jumped. He found out his can of bear spray. With one hand on the bars, he fired the spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac's relief, it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac's bike, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back only to quickly restart the chase(追赶).

Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to slow down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that once he hit the hill, he'd be easy caught up and the wolf's teeth would be tearing into his flesh.

At this moment, Paul and Becky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They didn't think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road. A bit later, they spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now. 注意:续写词数应为150左右。

The car abruptly stopped in front of him. A few minutes later, the other cyclists arrived.

答案

One possible version:

The car abruptly stopped in front of him. Mac rushed down from his bicycle and waved at the people inside the car for help. Paul and Becky inside the car got out immediately to help him climb into the car, in spite of the danger that the fierce wolf was running near. They quickly pushed Mac into their car and closed all the doors as hard as possible, legs trembling and breathless. Seeing this, the wolf still howled outside the car for some time and then left unwillingly.

A few minutes later, the other cyclists arrived. Mac's friends were shocked to hear the story and very grateful to the young couple. Mac invited all of them back to his home for dinner and he introduced his wife and daughters to his two new friends who saved his life. During the dinner they recalled the adventure and talked about the ways to deal with such dangerous situations.
