Babbel - Learn Languages
Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step with learning a new language．It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments （作业）．You need to pay every month，but this will still be cheaper than taking physical lessons with a teacher!

2．Reading can be a social activity.Think of the people who belong to book groups.They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them.Now，the website Book Crossing.jye.ai turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.Book Crossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book.Then the person leaves it in a public place，hoping that the book will have an adventure，traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson，the managing director of Book Crossing，says， "The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read.Book Crossing combines both. "
Members leave books on park benches and buses，in train stations and coffee shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails are then sent to the Book Crossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found.Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
Book Crossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the "real" but not the virtual（虚拟）.The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

9．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。
Last week，I watched an old couple when they walked through a local thrift （节俭）store.
I had just dropped off a bag of clothes and a few other items I no longer wanted.When I got the opportunity，I stopped by just to look through the old records.Yes，I called them records，not CDs or MP3s，simply records，those round plastic things from ancient times that had music recorded on them.
Anyway，this couple moved slowly around me in search of items they had on a lint they held tight in hand.They didn't say much，but occasionally talked with the other and picked an item up. "No，it's not suitable for her and she dislikes it，" one would say and move on.
My curiosity always got the best of me until I satisfied it by asking. "Can I help you find something？" I asked.They stopped，looking at me.Then the man said， "We are looking for old things that look new.Look，every new year in the past we tried to begin the year with new things.It was a goal to surround ourselves with things fresh and new so that we had new direction，new hopes and dreams for the year ahead.More importantly，we can give some gifts to Eva. "
"Eva？Who is she？" I asked. "She is a lovely 10-year-old girl we adopted three years ago.Her parents died in a serious traffic accident.She always wants to be a singer，" the man replied When hearing those words，I felt sad and said， "I'm sorry for the girl.Can you tell me how does your search work out？" The lady sighed and said， "It took a long time for us to find a special gift，but we discovered it was in vain （徒劳的）."
I knew it's difficult for the couple to solve the problem，so I decided to take action immediately.I said to the couple， "I can do you a favor.Please wait here for me. "
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I turned around and ran out of the store.
When I returned to the store，the couple sat near the counter （柜台）.组卷：6引用：3难度：0.2
