1．Try Making Them into Treats It's fine to shop at farmers' markets and grocery stores for recipe ingredients（原料）.But what if you could gather some of them by yourselves，and at the same time，help rid your region of non-native plant species that are harming the ecosystems？
According to the National Wildlife Federation，about 42 percent of today's threatened or endangered species are at risk because of invasive（有侵略性的）species.Here are four invasive plants and ideas for serving them up.
KUDZU
Brought to the US from Japan，the kudau vine can grow a foot a day，robbing other plants of sunlight.Its beautiful flowers bloom from July to September，but its leaves，roots，and vine tips are more readily available.Pick flowers to use in making drinks.
HIMALAYAN BLACKBERRY
Native to Armenia，the plant has threatened other species.It blocks access through woods and affects livestock.Its fruit starts to ripen in midsummer and the berries can be added to hake goods such as muffins.
SOW THISTLE
Its roots crowd out useful crops and suck water and nitrogen from the soil.Native to Europe and western Asia，it grows all over North America in spring and summer.Try coking the leaves in olive oil and adding them to a cake.
WATERCRESS
European settlers brought this leafy green to the Colonies.It spreads along waterways，crowding out native plants.

2． Not all classrooms are in school buildings.As we have learned，classrooms can be created almost anywhere that teachers and learners are able to connect，in person or virtually.
For Danielle Zelin，who teaches on the island of Mauritius，the classroom is in her home，and all around it.Danielle runs her own school the Language Mood English Club and as a result as freedom to take the curriculum（课程）in many directions，and sometimes that means looking right outside.Danielle's school started as a club on Saturday mornings，with a focus on storytelling，but she now teaches classes to individuals and groups，mainly in the afternoons and evenings after school.
"I always know I want to teach，" she said，but it wasn't always clear that English would be her area of expertise（专业知识）.As a teenager growing up in Mauritius，she struggled to see the point of reading Shakespeare in her English classes. "That English is old，" she told her mother； "I will not use it in my daily life." At the time，she much preferred reading French literature.
Years later，though，Danielle saw a performance of The Merchant of Venice，which she had studied in secondary school，and its power became clear to her.She didn't have to memorize lines，answer questions，or analyze for a test；she just enjoyed the play and the performance.
In a sense，that is the spirit that she carries into her current teaching.Her students arrive after a day of school，often tired， "So my place is more like a fun place to do like an English Adventure - I like to call it that.We do so many different things together，" she said.She and the students sometimes brainstorm things they want to study or discuss，and often her students tell her， "We want to connect to the world." As a result，they frequently study current events and local issues.

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。
Molly and her husband Rex ran a used bookstore in a small town.People，mostly kids，came here to read books，sell books and buy books.The morning had been full of rain，and passers-by were walking with narrow eyes under umbrellas.Molly rested both her hands on the counter and leaned（倾斜）forward to watch the world outside in the rain while Rex was busy sorting out books on the bookshelves.Rick，who sat on the floor burying himself in reading a hardback illustrated book，was the only customer in such a rainy day.Rick was a regular customer to the bookstore and he never sold a book or bought a book.He just read books.
"Can you keep this book for me？" Molly heard a shy voice and looked down to find it was little Rick that stood before the counter，holding the illustrated book and asked.
"Sure!" Molly nodded encouragingly.But the uncertainty remained on Rick's face. "I'll be back really soon.Promise.Tomorrow if I can." Molly nodded to him as seriously as she was treating an adult.Molly wanted to ask him if there was anything difficult，but she kept silent.Anyway，she put the illustrated book in a drawer in case anyone else would take it.Most of the secondhand books in her store were unique.If it was sold，she would fail to keep her promise.
Rick didn't return the following day，or the day after that.Molly was somehow disappointed.Rex suggested placing the illustrated book on the bookshelf so that others could read it or take it.In Rex's opinion，children made promises all the time and they promised all kinds of things.When they came to a store and was attracted by something，they promised to come back and they asked the shopkeeper not to let anyone else take the things they wanted away.It happened all the time.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；

Rick pushed the door open and rushed to the counter holding his money box.
