Late one evening,my constant yawns(呵欠)convinced me to retire for the night.I put on a comfortable cotton gown,turned the lights low,and crawled into bed between the cool but comfortable sheets.To ensure a goodnight's rest,I called out towards the kitchen to my smart speaker,"Alexa,play sounds to sleep by."As I gathered my cozy sheet up under my chin,I felt at peace with my cat Bella snuggled up(依偎)to me.
During the night,a heavy object landed on my stomach,causing me to scream and sit up,only to discover that it was Bella.She had a habit of waking me up to get her a snack,but the hands on the clock said 3:00 am,and I was annoyed that she had interrupted a happy dream.I fell back against the pillow and promised I'd feed her in the morning.That wasn't acceptable to her,so she continued to walk on top of me while pressing her paws into my body.
Because that proved to be unsuccessful,she jumped over to the bedside table and deliberately used her paw to knock things on the floor,one at a time,to keep me from going back to sleep.Her efforts paid off as I looked over in the dark room and knew the smug(沾沾自喜的)look on her face conveyed a serious demand."Get up,human.I'm ready for my nightly treat."
Knowing she would keep disturbing me until she got her snack,I took a few minutes to focus my eyes and heard what sounded like running water or someone pressure-washing a wall.I couldn't imagine our apartment staff doing maintenance in the middle of the night,so I assumed I had turned off the water tap.I would regret the large water bill it would bring about,so I unwillingly got up and went into the kitchen.I found nothing out of the ordinary so I continued to search with Bella following me.I checked the bathroom,where I found no running water.

【答案】Since the sound was still evident,I realized the seriousness of the situation.I thought it necessary to solve the mystery.I returmed tothe kitchen,where the disturbance was more obvious and stood like a statue trying to identify the sound.Despite Bella's loud yowl,I was still able to hear the strange noise,which seemed to come from inside the wall between my apartment and the unit next door.I could feel my muscles tense up and my hands shake because I was now convinced a pipe had burst,and water could be flooding the neighboring apartment.(作者认真搜寻响声处的行动)
I didn't see water on the wall,so I thought it wasn't an emergency.However,one thing I had done was drag someone out of bedin the middle of the night.I walked to the end of the kitchen bar closest to the wall in question,picked up my phone,and placed my fumbling fingers on the keypad.Instantly,the reality of what was happening became clear to me,and I joyfully identified the source of the mysterious noise.All I had to do to settle the entire mystery was to say angrily,"Alexa,shut up!"(作者发现某个非紧急状况的故障问题后,继续细致分析调查响声的源头)

1.Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.
She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours,she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat,but it was not even possible for her,since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while,watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However,with no money in hand,she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, "Hey,girl,you want to have the noodles?
"Oh,yes…,but I don't have money on me…" she replied.
"That's nothing.I'll treat you today," said the man. "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles,whose smell was so attractive.
As she was eating,Jenny cried silently.
"What is it?" asked the man kindly.
"Nothing,actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles,while my mother,drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!"
Hearing the words,the seller smiled, "Girl,do you really think so?I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you?Have you expressed your gratitude to her?"
Jenny sat there,speechless and numb with shock?she remembered Mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that?A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted,but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home,Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

2.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers,three sisters,my father and mother.We had little money and few goods,but plenty of love and attention.I was happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was,he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen,I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field.And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis,who not only believed in me,but often told me "Dream is priceless".However,when I was about to get off the ground,one particular incident happened,which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job.I was offered ﹩12.25 per hour.Compared with the average ﹩3.5,that was a big sum.I was so excited,because this meant a chance for money in my pocket,certainly money for a new bike and new clothes,and the start of savings for a house for my mojye.air.The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting,and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.I didn't dare to tell my coach,I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, "If you make your bed,you have to lie in it. "I decided to talk to my coach in person.After all,my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.

3. One day,when I was a first-year student in high school,I saw a kid from my class walking home from school.His name was Kris.It looked like he was carrying all of his books.I thought to myself,"Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?He must really be a nerd(书呆子)."
I had quite a weekend planned(parties and a football game with my friends),so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.As I was walking,I saw a gang of kids running toward him.They ran at him,knocking all his books out of arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.His glasses went flying,and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.He looked up,and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him.So I jogged over to him,and as he crawled around looking for his glasses,I saw tears in his eyes.As I handed him his glasses,I said,"They are bad guys!They really should be punished."He looked at me and said,"Hey,thanks!"There was a big smile on his face.It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived.As it turned out,he lived near me,so I asked him why I had never seen him before.He said he had gone to a private school before.I would have never hung out with a private school kid before,but we talked all the way home,and I carried his books.
